pushed on the new mill down the

struction; the mills Of the Occur d.

and day shifts, and many other enter

there is no reason why this should not
be the most prosperous year known in

in one day than would be seen in a

fame is spreading from sea to sea and

INDoRsEs DIR. OWENS.

The Idaho Statesman is one of the
republican papers that made big
howl during the state campaign over
the so-called asylum scandal, and,
together with the campaign speakers
heralded the cry of murder, brutality
and mismanagement from one eud of
the state to the other. They said
that patients were being brutality mis-
treated and that even murder had
been INDUCED in and it was all
charged up to the democratic admin
istration. The people will remem-
Der the campaign for these and Other
grave charges that were made without
truth or foundation, and to show how
false they were and how the republi-
can campaigners misstated facts fol

The town is growing rapidly and
many new buildings are being con

ly depends on the style Of architecture
employed. A sameness in the build
ings destroys the beauty that comes
from diversity Of architecture, and the

this by studying to make their build

Of these United States favor the
nomination Of Mr.. Cleveland for
president again. Certain it is,
the people know when and by
whom the democratic party was
