Putin Water Works

f. M. Mitchell, owner of the
White Bird electric light plant was
in town last week a few days and
reports things prosperous in his
section. The new light plant is
running perfectly and the demand
for lights has increased to such an
extent that it will be necessary to
increase the capacity this summer.
He is now preparing to put in
a water system and expects to have
it completed during the summer:
At present the water used is badly
effected by the drainage OF the
town and the citizens are anxious
TO have a good supply of pure
water which can be secured at a
moderate cost.
A great deal Of work is being
done in the mines in that section
with very promising results. The
Cape Horn property, owned by 10
cal people and located near town
has recently uncovered some very
rich ore and those interested are
confident that they have great
mine.
The season is we'll advanced anC
both stock and crops are looking
fine with every indication for 8
| most prosperous season.

No Religious Exercises.

For some time there have been
charges in circulation that in some
Mormon communities Mormon re-
ligious exercises are held in public
schools.
In response to a request from
Superintendent Siders of the Po-
catelo schools, Attorney General
Bagley handed down an opinion
last week in which he holds that
no religious exercises shall be held
in the public schools of Idaho and
that teachers are not permitted un-
der the law to even read the Bible
in the schools. The opinion quotes
from the decisions of different
courts to show that the Bible is re-
garded as sectarian book, al
though all denominations take
their doctrines from some portion
of it.
The opinion, in closing, holds:
"All religious exercises in public
schools are prohibited by law.
Bible reading is not permitted in
! public schools. Teachers are not
permitted to offer sectarian or de-
nominational prayers in school or
require pupils to do the same
Singing sectarian and denomina-
tional songs is prohibited"

A Question of Ethics.

Is a man who announces that in
the event that certain disability
becomes a fact he will not support
the nominee proper person to
send to national party conven-
tion? The question is caused by
the election of former Senator
Pettigrew as delegate to the
democratic national convention to
be held in St. Louis in July. Sena-
tor Pettigrew has declared that if
President Cleveland or a demo-
crat like him is nominated he will
decline to support him.
How far should an individual
delegate consider himself bound by
the action Of a convention in which
he participates? We often hear
that no honora BILE man will bolt a
convention because it nominates
somebody to whom he is violently
opposed, that when he accepts a
delagateship he is in honor bound
to support the nominee.
The question is one that the in
dividual must determine, just as,
to a certain extent, each individual
has his own code of ethics.
1t would seem to us that in a
national convection platform
should count for more than per-
sonality. If the platform is ac-
ceptable the candidate who is plac-
ed upon it should be accepted also,
because it is a moral certainty that
democrat, for example, cannot
expect to win fight for demo
cratic principles by voting for a re-
publican nominee. We can hard
ly conceive of the possibility of the
democrats at St. Louis nominating
a man who is not clean, able and
fit. That being the case, it is the
duty of every democrat who expects
to retain his party standing &c
abide by the express will of the
majority. Salt Lake Herald.

run with numerous cross cuts, to
determine the width of the ore
bodies. The vein on the Rob Roy
is over 80 feet between the walls,
and the Liberty Bell is over &c
feet. The Australia has not had
sufficient development to determine

Rob Roy exposes an ore body owe
10 feet in width, which has gen
eral average of $500 per ton, som
distance further in there is an or
shoot showing values as high a
$500. A new tunnel site has beel
selected and when the vein in tn
old tunnel has been encountered
will give depth of 500 feet.
Work will be commenced on thi
tunnel Immediately and will b.
