Climate. Timber, School, Etc.

The climate of Custer county is very delightful-ight snowfall
In the valleys; short winters and most charming winters. At
'Challs, with an elevation of 400 feet, sleighrides are well nigh
impossible. Creditable to our county is our plethoric school fund.
Each district has its school building and wellpaid teacher. At
Challis the high school studies are taught.
Probably onefourth of the mountainous territory of this county
is heavily timbered with spruce, fir and pine.
With large tracts of farming and grazing land uncultivated; With
a list of taxable property annually frightening with giant strides:
with increasing revenue and decreasing taxation; with railroad
building; with good schools and churches, and little crime; with
stockrangeso of luxurious vegetation; with an admirable climate
favorable to health; with q fertile soil, rich in fruitful products:
and with q vast mineral wealth in col3. silver. copper, lead. iron
and the precious metals-Custer county is blessed with natural
gifts and advantages that will prove its brief though Y corous ex
istence to have been but a pany part OF its progressive areer.

Agriculture and stock-Raising.

Agriculture ably supplements the mining industry in enrichinc
this county. The Salmon river. rising in the Sawtooth mountains
north OF Wood river, enters on its southwestern border, and pur-
SUNG a zlgzag course In a general north easterly direction, receiv-
Ies the waters of ten large creeks besides the East Fork. These
streams, together with Lost river and its tributaries, flow through
thousand of acres of arabic land still unculivated. Since the hand
of man is forced to supply what nature withholds, irrigation takes
tie place of rain; and the water that annually goes to waste would
make verdant fruitful valleys out of deserts, would convert the
the silence of desoation into the sounds from many homes. Agr-
culture, like all other industries of the county, is in its infancy.
The time is not distant when large iErigating canals viii be taken
out of Salmon river, which has an endless water supply, and many
thousands of acres of rich sagebrush land along the river will be
reclaimed. The farms of this county produce wonderful yields of
hay, oats, wheat, potatoes, etc. per acre. and large crops are
harvested each year.
Stockgrowing is one of leading industries of the county, and
with the usually mild winters in the valleys and excellent summer
ranges, has become a very remunerative industry, and the county
each year derives its largest amount of revenues in the way of
taxes each year IRON the stock growers.

gricultural and grazing lands.
Mines, Mills and Mining.

Custer county is one of the richest mining sections in the world.
but at present it needs better transportation, and capital to develop
its rich mining districts. In some states and territories mining
ana agriculture, though progressing hand in hand, are yet nearly
independent of each other. The farmers market is widened nv
the miner. to be sure but not relying on home consumption ex-
clusivey, he can exist and prosper, but in this county the miner
and farmer depend upon each other to a great extent. Let us for
moment call the attention of the capitalist to some of the most
Important mining districts and mines in the county, viz Mackav.
with its great copper mines; Morgan creek; Garden creek lead and
silver mines; Bayhorse district with IFS famous Ramshorn. Skylarlz
and dozens of rich ~lead-silver and gold bearing mines; Poverty
Flat; Centennial Flat; East Fork; Clayton; Slate creek; Thompson
creek; Robinson Bar; Stanley Basin, with placer and quartz; Fish
er gold mines; Sheep Mountain and Seafoam, with their hundreds
OF rich lead-shver mines; Loon creek, placer aud gold quartz min
es; Washington Basin gold mines; and the celebrated Yankee Fork
district, which is gold-silver ores, and embraces within its confines
hundred of mines, the most prominent producers at this time being
the Lucky Boy and Yankee Fork. Custer county also has several
Quartz mills and smeters-fve quartz mills at Custer; a dredge
boat and mill at Stanley; d smelter at OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES at Bay
horse, and a new S00-ton smelter at Mackay. In Custer ounty has
nearly 5000 located mining claims, and yet the vast region has not
been half prospected.

THE PLAN OF THE CAMPAIGN.

1t is said Chairman Taggart has de-
cded not TO make an effort to carry
Illinois for the Democratic ticket, but,
in the West, TO concentrate his efforts
on Indiana and Wisconsin. This, no
doubt, is a wise decision. No greater
mistake could be made than to waste
time and money on states which are
practically certain to go Republican.
The thing for Chairman Taggart to
do is to decide upon the states he be-
lieves he can carry-the states outside
of those which are certain to go Demo-
cratic-and concentrate all his efforts
upon them.
There is no reason for paying atten-
ton to any Southern state, because all
of the Southern states will give Demo-
cratic majorities, nor to any Northern
states that is admittedly Republican.
To send speakers to such states would
be a waste of political ammunition.
No doubt Mr.. Taggart has selected
the states outside of the Southern
states, which he expects to carry.
Every speaker he can command and
ever dollar in the partys treasury
ought to be.utilized in connection with
them
There are good reasons for thinking
the Democrats can carry Indiana and
Wisconsin. In the former the Demo-
Gratis are well organized, and If they
can get out their full vote are GER
tain of victory. In the latter the Re-
publlcans are divided into two factions
with no prospect of getting together.
If the situation is managed skllfully
the Democrats can carry their state.
Local leaders in neglected states will
grumble because they have been de-
pending upon getting assistance for
their local tickets from the national
campaign fund, but they can hardly
expect assistance when they are not
in a position to promise electoral votes.
The campaign will, of course, be
fought in the doubtful states, East and
West. Here in the South we shall not
see any of the fighting. Southerners
will participate in it, however, and
the South will be profoundly interested
in it. Indeed, if Chairman Taggart is
the capable manager he is credited
with being. he will draft all the South
erners into his service he can. South
ern speakers make a good impression,
and they are so much in earnest that
they produce results. The South is
ready to make any campaign contri-
button she can. She is anxious to win
the victory.

ment of greatness, says the Denver

While stationed at the Newport

Company's plant as an assistant naval
constructor, the hero of the Merri-
mac incident was inveigled into an
old-fashioned spelling bee.
On the second round he received the
word sorghum" Although a native
of a state in which that article of
commerce was an important factor in
the good old days before the war, the
young naval officers expression indi-
Gated that he never had heard the
word before.
He went at it, however, like a pro-
fessional wrestler endeavoring to Sc
cure a half-nelson on dangerous OPP
ponent.
"S-a-w-g-u-m!" he blurted out.
When the audience went wild with
glee the Inundated naval officers face
resembled the color of a full blown
poppy He retired in confusion, and
thereafter refused to even attend the
spelling bees given in the town dur
ing the remainder of his stay.

PERSONAL.

Sid Mohammed ell Hal hey of
Tunis, has just returned to his North
African domain after a visit to
France, where he was much of a Gu
rlosity with his fez, gold braid, pro-
fusion of jewels and gorgeous entour-
age. His dusky highness was greatly
interested in all things military, but
found time also to visit a good many
theaters. He took home with him a
number of portraits of actresses,
gravely informing his French friends
that he intended to distribute these
counterfeit presentments among his
wives.
Thomas A. McQuaide, superintend-
ent of detectives in Pittsburg, has long
held the idea that depressing weather
has decided effect on the moral tone of
human beings. Many, he says, are
unable to work during the periods of
low barometer and especially on sticky,
rainy days. On such occasions he has
remarked men walking the streets who
are on the verge of insanity. Time
and again he has made it his business
to watch people who are on the streets
on such days and discovered for the
time being they are entirely irrespon-
sible. In many people, he says, the
animal passions are aroused to such a
degree that they are unable to con-
tinue their work. They wander about
the streets in a dazed condition, often
requiring constant watching, so that
they will do no harm to themselves or
TO others.
