A man giving his name - Ander-

uncrning charged with stsakaE :
team of horses, buggy su1 hsrness.
Anderson arrived 10 the city
yesterday evening and put up his
team at the barn Of Frank Johnson
He Immediately began trying to sell
the outfit, or would sell either one
horse or both, also offered to sell the
buggy or harness separate,
| This aroused the suspicion of
johnson, who informed the officers,
and the telephone WAS used, towns
both east and west being called up.
In the meantime he had succeeded
in selling one of the horses to A.
Gordon for s75.
Another matter that aroused sus-
picion was that Anderson claimed
that he had driven to Weiser from
The Dalles, Oregon, making the
trip in three days. The horses
showed no evidence of having been
driven more than ten or twelve
hours.
About ii o'clock a message was
received from Caldwell, stating that
the outfit belonged to Dan Campbell,
: livery stable man of that city, and
to arrest the man and hold HIM until
he could reach Welser. he describ-
! ed the horses and buggy accurately.
II Accordingly he was arrested and
placed in the city jail to await Camp
. bells arrival
When the officers searched him
at the Jail, they could find but s4s
of the $75 received from Gordon
He stated that he had mailed tn
money to party at The Dslles

~ given by him.
'i Anderson claims that it is cas-
y of mistaken identity, and that h

~ as though the evidence against hi'

high grade ore. The main ledge
has cropping over so feet in width
that sampled SO in gold
The management is operating a
tunnel that will be driven on the
ledge 700 feet, the objective point
being directly under this outcropping.
When this is accomplished vast
ore reserve will be blocked out,
ready for extraction. The Hand
Cold Mining company, under the
same management, is preparing to
resume operations on its holdings,
situated about five miles west of the
Werdenhoff Had it not been for
the scarcity of miners the work
would have continued without inter-
ruptiop. As it was those on the
Hand property were transferred tc
the Werdenhoff and the management
has sent for others.
Speaking of other properties he
! visited, Mr.. Jacobs stated the S. I
Edwards group, under bond to east
: ern capitalists, was making a yer,
good showing, high grade body o
3 ore eight feet in width having bee

THE most common objection to the
issuance of bonds for road purposes Is
that we have no right to impose such
burden on posterity. The objection
has certain light foundation in SEN
timent; but not in practical business
considerations. The greater portion
of such a burden will rest upon those
who have to take the responsibility
Of negotiating the loan, and these peo-
pie will mortgage property that be-
longs not to posterity, but to them
selves. If there are to be any consid-
cradle benefits, these benefits are to
come after a lapse Of time and will &c
in a still larger measure to posterity
even than to ourselves. We will have
to pay more than posterity; but we
will not pay out Of proportion to our
benefits. But that is not all. Since II
is reasonable to assume that If we dc
posterity ought to have more educa-
ton and progress than we have, and II
will have the same right to complain
at us for not having fixed the roads as
we have to complain of our slow plod-
ding progenitors. AS matter Of fact
the complaint of posterity against us viii
be more justifiable even than our own
complaint, for as a matter Of fact oul
progenitors have been SO busy with
other things of more pressing import
ance that they have not had the op-
portunity or ability to improve the
| roadS--certainty not 50 much oppor.
tunity or ability as the present gener.
alton possesses. 1t is certainly not be-
coming to us to try to excuse ourselves
of our negligence in this matter at the
expense of posterity-not when we al
so clearly feel that such negligence only
| lays us open to the reproach of the
unborn generation behind which we
are trying to hide.
