JUMBO INCORPORATED.
Articles Filed With the County
Recorder Last Monday.

The owners of the Jumbo mine
in Buffalo Hump district filed ar
ticles Of incorporation Monday with
the county recorder. The incor-
porators are George Filler, Louis
Dahl, Chris Olson, Geo. w. Over
field, G. w. Fisher and Frank
Brown. The headquarters of the
incorporation are at Grangeyille
and the officers for the first year are
as follows: Geo. Filler, president;
&. w. Overfield vice president;
w. w. Brown, treasurer; John
Norwood, secretary; Frank Brown,
superintendent. The name of the
concern is the "Jumbo Mining &
Milling Co., Limited" and the
capitalization is 81 800, 900, divided
into an equal number of shares Of
the par value OF 81 per share.
With the exception of the Big
Buffalo Mine the Jumbo is the most
productive mining property in
Idaho county. 1t has produced
over $4,000 in bullion since the
installation of its four-stamp mill
last year, and is turning out good
monthly output at profit right
along. Elsewhere in this paper
we speak at greater length of this
property, but it is proposition
that speaks for itself and needs no
newspaper notoriety. An addi-
tional equipment of 10 stamps is to
be added to the present mill plant
in the very near future, aud it has
valuable ore deposits exposed which
insure it q profitable life for years
to come. The owners are now out
of the woods, and no one will envy
them the possession Of this valu-
able property. for they have hon.
estly earned all they can make out
of it by their perseverance and en-
crgy in the dark days of the camp
which succeeded the big boom.

Harry Cone Tells of Improve

Harry Cone was in town from
Slate creek for few hours Satur-
day. He informs us that he is SUI
perintending the construction OF
a ditch four miles Long to divert
the waters of Slate creek onto the
ground of the Consolidated Hy-
draulic Mining company. The
ditch starts at al elevation of 800
feet above the Salmon river. The
company are fluming all the rocky
places and are now negotiating for
the erection of a sawmili by one of
our lnmbermen. One lume will
be 300 feet long There will also
be 300-foot tunnel. The sawmiii
will be located at the head of the
ditch, and this will be some dis
lance above the old ditch construct.

sHIP.suRslpY DOOMED.

The action of the six republican SEN
ators from Iowa, Wisconsin and Yer
mont. in voting squarely against the
ship-subsidy bill, has no doubt sealed
the fate of that measure. The repre-
sentatives in the house from these
states have expressed themselves as
in accord with their senator's. Rep
resentative Hepburn says the senate
bill seems to be class legislation, large.
ly for the benefit of the few. Repre-
sentative Cousins, also of Iowa says:
Senators Allison and Dolliver voiced
the sentiment of the people of Iowa
when they voted against the ship-sub-
sidy bill" 1t is probable that each
Iowa member of the lower house will
vote in the same way. Representa-
tives in the house from other
states will vote adversely to their SEN
ators and there is a possibility that
the friends of the bill will attempt to
withhold the measure so that it may
not be defeated but may come up
again at the next session
This plan should not be allowed to
triumph. The bill should be disposed
of prior to the next election. This is
the prudent course, and it will no
doubt be adopted by the wise leaders.
In this connection it will not be out
of place to say that the country owes
much to the firm stand taken by the
Iowa senators who stood in line and
in accord with the agricultural west.
They represent the interests of their
constituency and have not been
afraid to vote accordingly.

ty. The short corn crop, however, is
made the occasion to advance the
prices of beef after it has left the
hands of the producer.
These inequalities can be cured if
the local markets are revived There
is no reason why the Iowa consumer
should pay as much for beef as the
Chicago or New York consumer The
cattle are raised here, fed here and
should be slaughtered here, for home
consumption. Whenever Iowa gets to
doing this, all over the state, there
will be a gratifying reduction of the
price of beef to Iowa consumers. In
other words, the producer will get the
benefit of that which he himself raises
so far as this extends to his family
supplies. When he goes to Chicago
and orders a steak or a roast, he ex-
poets to pay Chicago prices. but in
Iowa, he should pay but Iowa prices.

popular one, who would not give aid
to suffering countryman under all
circumstances. 1t is true that the
United States government will allow
bill contracted by consul for the
relief of distressed seaman, but it
would be extraordinary if the govern
ment would allow the consul compen-
sation or reimbursement for any 9TH
er expenses that would be incurred in
the line of philanthrophy. The con-
sular service of the United States is
i'll paid. The salaries, which are now
$4,000. should be raised to at least
$4,000, and those which are now $4,000
should be raised in proportion. The
United States is not a poor country
and it's servants should be at least
well rewarded. They should not be
compelled as some of them now are to
stand in the rear in the presence of
consuls of the same class from other
nations, when it seems obligatory up
on them to return compliments They
should have enough to pay them for
the services they render and for the
time occupied. The dignity of the
government itself is involved in this
proposition.

UNDER FALSE PRETENsEs.

The Cleveland Plaindealer says that
a new species of impostor has infest-
ed Cleveland for some time in the
form of imitation farmers, peddling
oleomargarine from house to house un-
der the disguise of fine, fresh butter,
just off the farm. These impostors
have been carrying on rushing bust
ness, for the profits are very large.
The oleomargarine, purchased at elev-
en- cents, is sold at twenty-five cents
per pound, and the peddlers have had
more customers than they could sup
ply. So cleverly has the game been
worked that in scarcely one instance
has purchaser suspected that he was
being duped.
The oleomargarine bill in congress
makes it unlawful to sell oleomargar-
inc except under it's appropriate
name. 1t is also made unlawful to
color such stuff so that it may resem-
BILE genuine butter. 1t is righteous
measure, dictated by honesty and fair
dealing.

proposes a scale of salaries that will

which will reward meritorious service.
The salaries of consuls at present
are inadequate for the service that is
demanded and the expenses involved
The average consuls salary is about
$4,000 with a few allowances for Of
flee rent, transportation and in some
instances clerk hire, and yet the con
sui is expected to keep up an estab

hold his own among the consuls OF
his class from other countries. He is
also expected to give relief to indi-
gent Americans (although this is not
a part of the regulations). but he

THE CHINESE AS ROAD BUILDERS

The Cinnamon can, in some respects,
teach us some excellent lessons. For
instance: The wealthy Chinaman who
would seek popularity at the hands of
his countrymen does not endow hos
pital nor donate a library but he finds
a bad piece Of road and he makes
good, permanent road of it. Mrs. Bish-
op, well known traveller, says she
passed over Dome remarkable high
ways of commerce" cut through the
rocks in mountain passes, scaffolded

of the givers Of the road.
A good public road is an evidence of
civilization as well as of great useful
ness. The American who, would win
lasting honors, can achieve them by
following the example of the wealthy
Chinese in building permanent good
roads. "a 10.

IMPORTANT TO OLD SOLDIERS.

In the Iowa senate on April 4, the
bill to exempt property of all soldiers
to the amount of $500 from taxation
was passed. Senator Lister said ir
calling up the bill that much had been
done for the soldiers dead; he thought
it appropriate that the legislature do
something for the soldiers living.
Senator Harper spoke eloquently fol
the measure. He referred to the great
accomplishments of the 100000 men
in blue who sprang to arms to save the
nation; he spoke of Wilson Creek,
Donelson, Vicksburg, Shiloh, Gettys-
burg; he told something of the great
work of the heroes of the battlefield
and mentioned the fact that this legis-
lature had appropriated promptly and
unanimously $1S5,000 for monuments
to them. That was good But now
come the living survivors of that strug-
gle and ask for substantial, but pal
try relief; a help while they are yet
living; bread alive instead of stone
when dead. Senator Harper's address
was eloquent and convincing.
Senator Spaulding offered an amend
ment exempting the homesteads of the
wives of the surviving soldiers when
| the homesteads are in their name, but
withdrew it shortly.
The bill passed by unanimous vote.
The bill as it passed is substantially
as follows:
"The property not to exceed $500 in
actual value, of any honorably dis
charged union soldier or sailor of the
war of the rebellion or Mexican war
1t shall be the duty of every assessor
annually to make a list of all such sol
diers and sailors, and to return such
list to the county auditor, upon forms
to be furnished by such auditor fol-
that purpose; but the failure on the
part of any assessor SO to do shall not
affect the validity of any exemption
The auditor shall enter on record all
applications for exemption unless ap
plication is made therefor But this
shall not apply in the case of any sol
der or sailor owning property of the
actual value of $4,000, or where the
wife of such soldier or sailor owns
property to the actual value of $4,000.
The eloquent and timely speech o.
Senator Harper in favor of this bill
will not be forgotten by the old sol
diers of the state. The senators
friends in Wapello county are especial
ly gratified on account of his speech
and the favorable comments it has re
ceived.

political will and testament is thus
given by w. T. Stead:
What an awful thought it is" he
writes, ''that if even now We could ar
range with the political members of
the United States assembly and our
house of commons, the peace OF the
world would be secured for all eter-
nifty. We could hold federal parlia-
ment, five years in Washington and
five i'll London. The American has
been taught the lesson of home rule
and of the success of leaving the man.
agement of local pump to the parish
beadle. He does not burden his house
of commons with the responsibility of
cleansing the parish drains. The pres
ent position of the English house is
ridiculous. You might as we'll expect
Napoleon to have found time to have
personally counted his dirty linen be-
fore he sent it to the wash, and to
have recounted it upon it's return"
The plan of an international parlia-
ment is, of course, impracticable but
it is suggestive of what was in the
mind of this empire builder who, af-
ter all his conflicts, turns to peace as
the greatest good that is possible for
man and nations. These ideas arc of
value in estimating the thought of the
world as it is in the secret recesses of
the human heart. There is an aspi-
ration for universal peace beneath all
the turmoil of international strifes and
great ornaments. 1t is true as sug-
gested in another place in the tesla
ment, that England, Germany and the
United States could absolutely COM
mand the peace OF the world.
