DENVER is PROSPEROUS.
County Growing and Future
Prospects Bright.

/. Zehner, proprietor of I b Q
Denver -four mills, was a business
visitor in Grangeville Saturday and
was incidentally talking about con-
ditions and future prospects of his
section. Considerable change has
taken place during the past few
years with many new people com.
ing in, substantial improvements
being made, and an era of general
prosperity all along the line. The
investments recently made by
Wren & Greenough is strengthen
ing the belief that railroad will
soon be built to Denver and the
continued growth of business seems
assured. Mr.. Zehner bought the
mills about two years ago of J. s.
Parker and since that time has
greatly improved it. The mill has
capacity Of about rs barrels a day
and during the past year has only
been idle one week. The demand
for the flour is the best guarantee
of the quality and Mr.. Zehner says
he has no difficulty in finding ready
sale for all he can make.

"ono OA Succp dT0 kept, Out In
counties like Idaho county the
revenue derived from the tax on
sheep is totally inadequate to pay
the bounty warrants that the com
missioners are compelled to allow
from time to time, and unless the
legislature will furnish some relief
this incubus must continue to grow
heavy on counties sparsely stock ed
with sheep. During 1901 and 1902
the commissioners allowed sheep
bounty warrants amounting to 1919
all of which have been called for
payment, but from April 1903 to
Oct. 1904. $l194.41 Aas been al
lowed for which there are no funds
available, while the tax on sheep
produces All annual revenue of less
than S16O. The legislature alone
can afford relief.
There is still another liability. if
such it may be called, that has
been handed down to us as legacy
by the administration of 1890 to
1894 inclusive. The legislature of
1890 and 1891 levied an annual
advalorum tax Of S5 cents for state
purposes. In addition to this levy,
the legislature of 1889 had made a
levy of two cents for wagon road
purposes and the legislature of 1893
and 1894 made a levy of three
cents additional for road purposes,
and seven and one.half cents for
a University building fund, see
1889 session laws, page 80; 1891
session laws, page 236; and 1893
session laws, papes 80 and 40. In
the years 1891 and 1892 the COM
missioners made a levy Of 83 cents
for state purposes instead Of 85
cents, and for the year of 1893 and
1894 a levy Of only seventy two
and one-half cents was made, while
in each of these four years the state
had the county charged up with
levy of So cents. This failure of
the commissioners to make the
levy required by law created quite
q deficit in the state revenue from
this county, and in 1899 the state
officials became loud in their de-
mand for settlement. The mat
ter was duly brought before the
commissioners and they, seeing the
justice of the States side of the
contention, made a special levy of
ten cents, the revenue derived
therefrom to be applied on this
account. A Friedenrich by j. F.
Ailshie, attorney, appealed from
the order of the Board and decision
was handed down to the effect that
the Board had no authority in law
to make such levy and the action
of the Board was therefore illegal
and void, w: N. Scales and J. F.
Ailshie concurring/ in the opinion
that the states only relief would
be through special legislation. The
states demand on the county at
this time, on account of this old
deDt is VI $685..
The state is still persistently de-
manding the payment of this old
account, but the appeal is now
being made to deaf ears since any.
action t b commissioners might
take looking to the settlement of
this old score is stopped by law
which is reinforced by a decision
Of the district court.
As to the revolution accom-
plished in the methods of keeping
the county records and for the
verifcations of the facts and figures

NO NEW TRIAL.
District Court Sustained In
Rookie and Lancaster Cases.

DlStrlCt Court Sustained In
Rookie and Lancaster Cases.
The Rookie and Lancaster cases
which have been pending in the
Supreme court for some time past
were decided last Saturday and the
verdict OF the District court will
stand. Both cases have attracted
a great deal of attention in the
county and occupied much time in
the two sessions Of the district
court.
w. l. Rookie was arrested nearly
two years ago on the charge Of
horse stealing, but escaped from a
deputy while being taken from Mt.
Idaho where the Jail was then
located, and his trial was not had
until the term following. He was
found guilty and sentenced to ten
years imprisonment, but his case
was carried to the higher court
when the decision has just been
rendered. Justice Stockslager rem
dered the decision. Lancaster has
also been in custody a long time.
He was charged with statutory
rape and in his first trial the jury
disagreed but in the second return.
ed verdict of guilty. His sentence
was six years. In this case the de-
cision was rendered by Chief Justic
Sullivan.
The remittitur was received here
yesterday and the warden of the
penitentiary has been notified to
send for the prisinors. This will
make six prisoners that have been
sent from this county during the
present year and is the largest
number of convictions ever secur-
ed in like period in this county.
1t has practically cleared up all
important criminal cases for the
first time in years.

wedding Of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. W. Swink.
celebrated last Saturday. is. as far as wo
know. the first golden wedding observance
In our community. and was notable as tho
wedding anniversary Of two Of tho earl
lest settlers in tho community. thus giving
TO il a communal interest that would not
attach TO every such celebration. Around
the name Of Swink there eenters not only
whatever Of the glamor Of antiquity we
may boast. but around It also centres
the original inspiration to the building Of
a community and city.
The mental and tho physical energy
that leads the way into large enterprises
amounts to kind genius, the posses
sion only Of rare 70 W. when compared
with the mediocre many and the ineffici-
ent multitude. As one Of these few the
name Of G. W. Swink has long been i'd en-
tilted with the development Of this part
Of the Arkansas Valley and his efficiency
has been often acknowledged. 1t was most
specifically set forth in the address Of
congratulation made by Mr.. G. M. Hall
before large company Of wedding an
niversary guests. Saturday aftern oon.
It was in reply to the congratulation
addresses Of his friends that Mr.. Swink.
told the interesting story Of the limited be-
ginninQs Of his married life. in keeping
with the rude surroundings and extreme
limitations Of his boyhood. and only more
pertinent and interesting by reason Of as
sociation and contrast with the occasion
calling forth their recital In brief Mr..
Swink was the possessor Of just 30 ten-esnt
pieces when he embarked on the matri-
monial sea. He was not yet quite l9
years old and had earned this magnificent
cash surplus by making hickory ak han
dies at ten cents each. Two Of his pri-
mary expenditures were rs cents for a
marriage license and rs cents to the loc-
al justice Of the peace for tying the nup-
tial knot. Then begun the judicious out
lay for housekeeping necessities. and
when this was made he had SO left The
wedding tour was walk OF about one
mile between his own home, or the mag
strates office. and the home of the brides
parents, where wedding dinner was
served. The dcta3 of the bill of fare are
not given but it was probably plain and
substantial farm dinner. with no caterer
from the city ser"ing frozen dainties. The
marriage ceremony and the dinner took
place on Sunday, and on Monday the
bridegroom started in by sharpening up
his ak and making 800 fence rails. for
which he received the magnificent COM
pensation of SO cents-the uncle for
whom the work was done doubling the
regular wage Of 25cents, in order. doubt

BETTER THAN LAST YEAR
Though Jobbing Trade Still Com
plains of Dizziness.

New York, July 1.-Advices from
special correspondents of the Interna-
tional Mercantile agency, indicate that
heavy rainfall in sections of the south
west has proved a deterrent to general
business. This, however, will be more
than compensated for, through benefit
to the crops Although jobbing inter-
ests still complain of slow trade, re-
suits already achieved are better than
q year ago with promise of increased
July volume. The outlook is excellent
in sections tributary to st. Louis.
Boot and shoe manufacturers still
have more work than they can attend
to-. Most of the large factories are up
to their limit. Millinery has not been
in so good demand this week. Hats
and caps are showing up we'll and or
ders from country districts suggest in
creased consumption of groceries and
drug sundries. AS soon as the presi-
Dental campaign takes definite shape
an element of uncertainty which has
had important bearing on the general
business situation will be eliminated:
The south has become this week the
brightest spot in the whole country so
far as sustained trade and general con-
sumption is concerned IexaS reports
a heavy business in retail buying at
period which is usually regarded as the
dullest of the year. Louisville is show
ing up well, with average conditions
fully equal to last year. Chicago
wholesalers are doing q fair trade in
general merchandise. Pittsburg for the
first time in many weeks is becoming
hopeful over the steel outlook. Sellers
are refusing to tie up at low prices, and
while furnaces continue to go out of
blast, shrewd observers expect revi-
val of railroad business as soon as in
creased earnings, which are now be-
coming more pronounced, are effective.
The feeling is general that the heavy
of steel rails will be forced
into the market before long through
sheer necessity. Prices of pig iron and
billets are being shaded somewhat, but
everything hinges on the rail situation,
