MINERAL PRODUCTION.
Gold And Silver In The
United States 1904.

George Il. Roberts, director of the
mint, has completed his calculation
OF the production of gold and silver
iu the United Stetes and in the world
for the calendar year 1908. Among
the figures for the principal states
and territories he gives Idaho's pro-
duction, gold 81, 300, silver s3,.
5l3, ,996.
The total number Of ane ounces OF
silver produced in the United States
for the calepdar year 1908. was 54,.
500, 600. The value of silver is com
puted at 81 cents per fine ounce.
The total output OF gold shows q
decline OF S6, 400, 900 and Of silver Q
decline of l 200, 900 ounces from tht
figures of the previous year. Ih'
failing OF in both metals is almost
entirely due, according tc Mr.. Roberts
to the labor trouble IN Colorda. Tht
most important gain by any stat'
was $500, 900 In gold by Nevada.
The following figures show the pro
duction o! gold and silver for tn

From Our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, d. g., Ger. 6. 1904

From Our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, ID. e., Ger. 6. 1904.
Much regret is felt IN official circles
at the sudden death Of the eostmas-
ter General, on last Tuesday. But a
week ago Mr.. Payne returned from
the West apparently in better health
than usual and was able to attend
the last meeting of the Cabinet. But
he suffered from heart disease, and
the moment rapidly approached when
it failed to perform its function. 1t
is the concurrent testimony Of all
those who we're associated with him
in the Presidents official family, In
the Post Ofice, socially and political
|ly, that he was. as John Hay express
ses 1t, man of remarkable upright.
ness and purity OF character, slow to
believe evil OF any one. lie was
energetic in business, and Vi such a
gentle disposition that he was greatly
:, beloved by all who knew him. AS 1T
is understood that Mr.. Cortelyou is
slated for the position SO suddenly
made vacant, 1t is supposed he Will
not assume the office until after the
election. Meanwhile First Assistent
p. M. General Wynne Will fill the
vacancy 10 the Cabinet.
Republioans IN Washington are
rather astonished at some OF the
freaks and desperate expedlents re-
sorted to by the Democrats who art
running the campaign in the various

PURE FOOD CONGRESS-.
Manufacturers Claim Right
TO Make Adulterated Food.
CONGRESS- TO The CONTRARY
Mcpherson Speaks of The
Idaho Exhibit.

Pure Focd Commissioner Alex Nc
pherson has returned to BOISE from
81, Louis, where he attended the
International Pure Food congress and
the meeting of the American Associa
,lon of Chemists, which were held in
conjunction on the worlds fair
grounds.
The principal questions discussed
by the two congresses, according to
Mr.. Mcpherson, and upon which de-
cidcd stands were taken, were the
proper food standards, the use Of
antiseptics, artificial coloring matter,
baking powders. liquors and saccharin
or mineral sugar, used as an artificial
swce:ening agent.
Both the associations went square
Iron rocJrd as favoring the food
standards promulgated by the United
States government aud against the
use Of antiseptics ia any form.
Baking powders were found to be
three-fold in charactcr-alum baking
powders with starch flller, cream Of
tartlr powder with starch 0llcr and
straight cream uf tartar and bicarbo-
mite Of soda baking powder, without
any illlcr. A committee was appoint.
cd to make an exhaustive inquiry
into this subject and report at the
next annual meeting.
The congress favored bottling
whiskeys in bond, as the only guarau-
ty possible OF pure liquors.
Saccharlnc was classed as an ant:.
septic having no food value.
The congress favored national
pure food law, with the recommen'
dalton that all states frame theil
laws In harmony with it.
The manufacturers were opposed u
any political interference IN the Ques
tIon OF pure food. Many manufact-
urers OF adulterated articles, Of course
were opposed to any law, claiming
they had right t. manufacture foods
as long as the ingredients were no
proven harmful The congress bo
levcd to the exact contrary-that nt
manufacturer had right to intro
duce any ingredient into food until i
was abundantly proven that tn
ingredient was not harmful. Th
next session of the two congresse
will probably be held in Portland
during the exposition next year.
10 speaking Of the Idaho cxhibi
ut the st. Louis fair, Mr.. McPherso
stated that The agricultural cxhibi
was second to none in variety an
quality and he believed 1t would b
given the gold medal. The horti

when the last shipment OF fresh fru
for the Idaho exhibit was receive
and the great bulk Of 1t was damage
beyond repair. Still. the largest an
finest peaches and pruncs were foun
in the Idaho display.
In supplying Mr.. VESSELS wit

Senator w. B. Heyburn's meet
ing in Rathdrum, last Thursday
evening was somewhat handicap
ped by the stormy weather and the
attractions of the Spokane and In
terstate Fair. Yet the entire seat
ing capacity OF the hall was occu-
pied and for an hour and half,
Senator Heyburn's remarks were
given the closest attention.
Among those who accompanied
the senator on the stage we're c.
L. Heitman, county chairman;
Bartlett Sinclair, former state aud
itor; Z. II. Whitla, candidate for
county attorney, and g. Q. Dart,
candidate for commissioner.
Mr.. Sinclair introduced the
speaker with a neat address in
which he paid the junior senator a
glowing tribute, remarking that
the senator's career is so closely
linked with the history OF Idaho
that no chapter of the latter could
be written without making men,
ton Of the senator's distinguished
name.
Senator Heyburn's address was
a scholarly presentation Of the bas.
ic principles Of government and
the essentials Of good citizenship
as exemplihed by the republican
party according to the history O
the United States from the time o
the confederation. Clearly ant
succinctly he described how, from
the time of Washington, ther'
have always been two great politi
cal parties which have always beef
divided upon one great issue--th
manner of collecting the revenue
of government. On the one side
favoring protective tariff, hav
stood the federal, the whig AM
finally the republican party, AN
on the other hand, opposing til
protective tariff have stood the oil
republican party which becam
the democratic party of the presen
time. He addressed himself pal
iticularly to the young voters--th
! first voters-on whom depend tn
destinies Of the nation. He enter
| ed into a full discussion OF tn
principle OF protection in ever
phase and pointed out how tn
nation had grown under it, how
had suffered without it and ho'
perilous its revocation would be
the industries and through thel
the prosperity Of the country.
4, He showed by comparison {
, figures how necessary the protet
tive policy is to Idaho probabl
more than to any other state. II
said numbering, lead-silver minin
cattle and sheep raising and inc
dentally farming, need protectlc
from the competition Of cheap TO

Senator Hepburn spoke brief
. on the state campaign. He likene
the Dubois Mormon issue to
Jack o'lantern made to scare Il
i people. He said "Dubois WI

that Dubois had the impudence

the real issues. In closing, he a
