They do say that at the republican
state central committee meeting at
BOISE this week, John Tracey Nor
rison was unnoticed. When he
entered the hall where the conven
ton was being held, only those who
are feeding at the public crib through
the grace of the governor noticed
him. The leaders of the party kept
discreetly in the background, and
only Chief Clerk Jackson, Warden
Perrin and Immigration Commits
sioner Eggleston paid any attention.
The handwriting is on the wall, that
the days of John T. as governor are

EARLY HISTORY
OF COEUR D'ALENE
How the First Discovery was
Made in the Famous
Mining Section.

The Murray Sun says: "CharIes
Sargent the blacksmith, now living
at Littleield with his family, is the
only resident of Prichard creek who
was with the first party that accom-
panied A j. Prichard, the discov-
erer, in May, 1888, from Evolution
to this side. The party came over
the range from Evolution, and land
ed just above Delta on Beaver creek.
Prichard then led them down Beaver
to the river and then started up the
mountain range that divides Beaver
and Prichard creeks, following the
divide east to the depression where
the county road now crosses. Here
the party descended to Prichard
creek, after as hard trip, says Mr..
Sargent, as any human being ever
had, each man packing about $50
pounds of grub and blankets over
fallen timber and through dense un-
der growth up and down the steep
mountains. But, continues Mr.. Sar-
gent the discoverer bouyed the par
ty up and dispelled fatigue by the
stories of wealth that would soon he
within their reach. Their first camp
on the creek was made on what ia
now known as the King fat, from
winch place they scattered the fol-
lowing day in search of INDICATED
ground
"This, however, was not the date
OF the discovery of the placers. They
were found the year before by Prich-
ard, Phil Markson, Win. Gerard and
old Man Gelatt. We have the-en-
tire history of the discovery of gold

but 1t is too long for present publi-
cation. We were on the oround
with the pioneers, and did our hest
20 get at the facts, as there was CON
croversy over the finding of the first
gold, Markson and Gelatt both in
forming the writer that Pricbard
never saw the color of gold on the
creek until they dug it up and showed |
1t to him, and afterwards sent him
out for grub with it, which brouobt

of board of county comm issioners of
Washington county, to-wit: ASKED
ME WHAT l WOULD GIVE HIM TO
ASSIST ME- IN GETTING A CHANGE
IN THE COUNTY ROAD UP SOUTH
PINE CREEK" That was present
when the said conversation is alleged to
have taken place, and that | have no
recollection of any such conversation
haven taken place between said parties
at that time or at any other time, when |
was present. NELSON RuH1
Subscribed and sworn to before mo
this Sth day of January, 1904.
r. e. WILSON,
lSeal.l Notary Public.
AS to whether or not these affida-
Wits bear out the strenuosity of the
World we leave to the readers of
The SIGNAL.
In the former article we did not
attempt to say that Chairman Phil
lips was guilty, nor do we now. No
one knows except Chairman Phillips
and MIR. Marques as to that.
Mr. Marques swears that Mr..
Phillips did offer to take the bribe.
Mr. Phillips contents himself, in his
affidavit, with the broad and sweep
Ing assertion that 'sthe said affidavit
referring to the affidavit of Mr..
.Marques) is false and untrue In ey-
cry particular so far as the same
relates to this affiant."
Such denial on the part of Mr.
Phillips is, as the lawyers would put
1t, not good in law and would be
equivalent to no denial at all.
In his affidavit Mr.. Marques SAYS
that this conversation in which Chair
man Phillips offered to accept a
bride occurred son or about June
10Th. He does not say whether it
occurred in the day time or in the
night; at Weiser or at Cambridge
In the public highway or behind
closed doors. In fact, nothing in
this affidavit indicates where this
conversation occurred, or who was
present, if any one at all
1t is to be presumed that, if the
conversation did occur land Mr.
Marques swears that it did it took
place In some secret place, behind
closed doors and with no witnesses
who might afterwards, like Banquo's
ghost, rise up to haunt them.
The affidavits of Messrs. Nicholas
and Bull only prove one thing. and
that is that the said conversation
lid not take place at time and
place when both of these getlemen
we're present. Mr.. Marques in his
'indavIt does not say that it did.
both OF these gentlemen might be
cling the truth and yet not contra
iict the statements contained in the :
'ifdayit of Mr.. Marques. Both
and Bull make use of this
language in their affidsyits, to-wit
Il was present with SAID j. A
Marques and Nelson G. Phillips at

CZAR'S SUBJECT WOULD
KNOW ALL ABOUT RAISINS

Manager Arthur r. Briggs OF the
California State Board of Trade was
somewhat surprised Tuesday when a
Russian gentleman connected with
horticulture and agriculture in the
land of the Gar made the announce
ment that he had. come to California
to find out the best way to raise figs
and raisins in Russia.
The inquirer Is w. Teubatchew, who
was introduced, in accordance with
the wishes Of the Russian Govern
ment. by the Russian Consul in this
city. With Russia involved in a great
war, In which the principal Russian
aim would seem TO be to secure out
lets at points where the winter will
not shut in its fleets, ordinary sup
position would be that Russia is not
much OF a land in which to produce
fruits which, until California. took up
their culture, have been grown prin-
cipally in the Mediterranean lands.
Mr.. Teubatchew asserted, however,
that raisins and figs will certainly
grow in Russia as we'll as in California
According to his statements there are
areas in which the climatic conditions
much resemble those of California.
and where the nature of the soil is also
similar. Mr.. Teubatchew has visited
Fresno, but Is still seeking for more
information and so visited the Cali
fornia State Board of Trade. where a
vast amount Of data Is always avail

and the manner in which they are
