Thunder City is surrounded by the

A correspondent from Long Valley

A correspondent from Long Valley
to the Statesman says:
A new town called Thunder City,
in Long valley, has been started at a
gait which promises to make it one
of the most fourishing towns in this
part of Idaho, located as tits on Big
Greek where the state wagon road to
Thunder Mountain leaves the main
stage road for the great mining re-
gion. Thunder City will be geograph-
ically situated so as to be the nearest
trading point for hundreds of sheep
men who run thousands of sheep in
the grass covered mountains on all
sides of here.
1t will also be the headquarters for
numerous prospectors who are con-
tlnually passing to and from this
great mlneralized region lying to the
east.
v. B. Warner, who owns the land
where the new village has sprung up,
is doing all he can to induce business
by giving away free lots for business
houses.

BUSINESS MEN AND JUDGE PAR
KER.

The indicat lions Of Judge Parker's
popularity with business men are in
creasing. The first indication that at
tracte5 wide attention was the forma-
ton BIZ TIE lawyers of New York of
the Parker Constitution Club. Recent
ly a poll was taken in some of the
business institutions of New York for
the purpose of discovering if the SEN
timent among business men in favor Of
Judge Parker were increasing. 1t was
found that very many of those who
voted for Mr.. Mckinley are going to
vote for him. They gave as their rea-
sons their fear that Mr.. Roosevelt, if
elected President, would follow his in
clinations to a far greater extent than
he has since he has been President,
because he would feel he had been in
dorsed by the people. Now he is only
an accidental President. His inclina-
lions are so aggressive that he would
be likely to get the country into a war,
or do some other thing that would I'M
settle business. Only recently he talk
cd of dealing with the Central and
South American republics with a big
stick.
Ever since he became President he
has heen advocating a big army and
navy. 1t is true he has urged them
on the ground that we ought to he
prepared for any emergency, but in
the control of such a man as he is a big
army and navy would be dangerous
things, because he would be inclined to
use them on very slight provocation.
No one of course questions Mr.
Roosevelts honesty or ability, but a
very large percentage of the people
question his judgment. They are
afraid to have a man in the White
House who is so ready to go outside of
his constitutional limitations to accom-
plish the ends he has in view. OPP
portunities are arising all the while for
getting the country into trouble with
foreign countries. Mr.. Roosevelt
wouldn't deliberately do an act that he
knew would provoke war, for the pur-
pose of bringing on a war, but he would
iihCAN III oOIIiCllllIl5 III HIS nasty iii
pulsive way that would put the coun-
try in a position where war couldn't
be avoided.
The business men of the entire coun-
try want peace. They believe the coun-
try will have a period of prosperity
during the next four years if nothing
occurs to cause a loss of confidence in
existing values. They feel that if
Judge Parker were President nothing
of a disturbing character would oc-
cur, and that the government would
be administered strictly in accordance
with the laws and the constitution.
The Vermont election will occur on
Tuesday next. and from that date I'M
til the election in November the cam
paign will be conducted in all of the
doubtful states with great vigor. I'm
less the indications are misunderstood
there will be a steady growth of Judge
Parker's popularity.

SPRING PROPOSES TO WINTER.
From the New York World.

FROM the New YORK World.
Amherst, Mass, Aug. 31.-A marriage
license was issued to-day to Oren
Williams, of South Amherst, who is
90 years of age, and Miss Alice Lula
Baker, of Shutesbury, an attractive
woman of "a. The town cleark at
tempted to dissuade Mr.. Williams from
taking out the marriage license, but
the aged lover insisted with all the
ardor at his command that he would
marry the girl in spite of the devil"
Mr.. Williams is a pillar of a South
Amherst church and ordinarily mild in
manner to a degree BETTING his age.
The ceremony was to have been per-
formed to-day, but several clergymen
whom Mr. Williams invited to officiate
declined to assume the responsibility
The match is a result of a leap year
proposal made by Miss Baker Mr..
Williams advertised for a housekeeper,
and Miss Baker, who applied for the
position, suggested marriage The idea
pleased the fancy of Mr. Williams, who
expressed himself as delighted to find
a woman who did not consider his
years a barrier to matrimony.
When Mr.. Williams wife died several
years ago relatives in the West at
tempted to have a CONSERVATION appoint
ed over his estate, which is estimated
at $4,000. The courts refused to sane
tion the proceedings. Williams is the
oldest resident of Amherst.
