ALWAYS BLAME the RAILROADS

Sometime ago an article appeared
In a local paper which iutimated
very clearly that the building of a
sugar factory In this vicinity had
been prevented by the refusal of the
Oregon Short Line to grant certain
reasonable concessions. Knowing
the Oregon Short Line to be vitality
interested in the growth and devel.
opment of this section, as well as
other sections, of Idaho, and know
ing that the local authorities, that
Is, the officials at Salt Lake, had
always given liberal support and
warm encouragement to every kind
OF legitimate enterprise that tended
TO the upbuilding of the State, we
were loath to credit the charge, and
In order to satisfy ourself made
some direct inquiries. The result
was information showing that the
sugar factory promoters had never
approached the railroad officials on
the subject of concessions, had new.
e. asked for anything or intimated
that they wanted anything. Sc we
came to the conclusion that the
promoters, having failed in their
plans, or having extracted all thew
could from their gullible patrons,
sought excuse for beating a hasty
retreat and could find none, at once, |
more suitable and popular than
blaming it to the railroad.

liquor business to get out of it as
soon as possible and engage in
something else. Meantime in
view Of the approaching end, sa-
looms and other places serving in
toxicants would be permitted to
run out at the heels, so to speak.
They would be denuded of attrac-
tons. Billiard tables, paintings,
all manner of entertaining devices
and seductive furnishings would be
disposed of as rapidly as possible,
because all such would be useless
lumber when closing day arrived.
Might not the liquor traffic be
killed off in some such way-a
death no more violent than is often
melted out to other businesses and
industries by operation of natural
laws.

HEYBURN'S SPEECH.

On the 10th and 18TH of last
month Senator Hepburn delivered
a speech against the consolidation
of Arizona and New Mexico and
their admission to the Union as one
State. If you have not read it, do
so, for it is worth while. It is a
clear and forcible exposition of the
underlying principles which should
guide in the creation of new States.
1t is replete with valuable informa-
ton, and the argument, constructed
on broad. practical and patriotic
lines, is as conclusive as compre-
hensive. An interesting feature was
the colloquy between our Senator
and Senator Hopkins of illinois, In
which the latter was hopelessly
worsted. The closing sentences of
Senator Heyburn's speech are elo-
quent and impressive. They fol-,
low: II say, without anticipating
strife or contention between the
East and the West, that in fairness
to that great portion of the country
lying west of the Mississippi River
there should be no State created of
the size proposed by this bill. There
should be no Iesseniug of the rep
resentation as indicated by the geo.
graphical divisions already formed.
Admit Arizona and New Mexico as
one State and it loses to the West
forever two Senators il this BODY.
1t never can be uudoue. Why was
Dakota divided? 1t was because it
would have been unreasonable to
admit it as one State.
mr.. President, 1 repeat that no
graver question comes before this
body than the one now under con-
s1deration. 1t has been spoken of
lightly in the press as though it
were joke-the making of West
ern States. Where is the West to-
day? We used to talk about the
backwoods of Ohio, and then be-
yond the Mississippi, and then the
Rocky Mountains, and then the
Pacihcslope. Themarch Of progress
has gone out to the ocean and
started back again. The frontier |
today does not lie on the Pacific |
coast, but it lies between here and
there. The West holds as much
promise for the future greatness of
this country as any portion of its
territory ever held at any period of
It's existence, and it is with the flu
ure and the promise based upon ex-
that we are to deal in de-
this question.

cALDwELL's OPPORTUNITY

"There is a tide in the affairs OF
men, which. taken at the flood,
leads on TO fortune; omitted, all the
the voyage Of their life is bound in
shadows, and in 5miseries." That's
it, and it is exactly the same with
towns as with men. The affairs of
Boise valley are now at food tide.
The country hereabouts is on
the crest of prosperous wave.
Mighty energies are at work and
vast enterprises are projected. On
every hand we see vigorous growth
and rapid development. Property
values are advancing by leaps and
bounds. The sagebrush plains are
being converted into green fields
and Towering orchards with almost
magical swiftness. The congestion
of the older States is being relieved
by tides of emigration. Multitudes
of sturdy energetic and enterpris-
ing men and women are seeking
homes and opportunities iii the
West, in Idaho, in the Boise valley.
Does Caldwell, as community, as
a municipal body corporate, appre-
ciate the significance of all this?
Does Caldwell realize that her OPP
portunity Is at hand, and that "the
means that heaven yields must be
embraced, and not neglected; else,
If heaven would, and we will not,
heavens offer we refuse" never to
be repeated. And what should
Caldwell dor Do? Why every
thing possible to make this pleas
ant and beautiful place in which to
live. Repair the old streets. open
up and grade new ones; extend the
electric light and water service; en-
courage the building of a public
park; put up decent city hall and
adorn 1t with a public library; i'm.
prove and extend sidewalks, and
prohibit the pasturing of cows on
the street. In short, make Cald-
well the most attractive town in the
Boise valley, and, then, it must in
evitably share in full measure the
growth and prosperity of the sur
rounding country. Inaugurate for |
once broad and liberal policy of
public Improvement, and the thing
is done. Hesitation and delay are
the assassins of opportunity.
Doubts are traitors, and make US
lose the good we oft might win, by
fearing to attempt"
There is here no lack of private
enterprise. Look about and note
the accomplishments of the past
year. They are eloquent witnesses
Of the spirit and faith of CaldwelI's
citizenry. Let the same spirit and
faith animate the municipal author
tiles, and they will, at once, take
the tike at its food, which leads
on to fortune.

A MERE SUGGESTION

State Senator Wayman, of Cam
yon County, speaking in favor of
repeating the law which grants to
saloon keepers in smaller commun-
tiles lower license rate than in
large ones, said in substance: The
temperance people are attacking
the liquor traffic from four points,
namely, high license, local option.
State dispensary and absolute pro-
hibition. The Senator declared
himself, at this time, in favor of
high license, but indicated his in
tention of supporting local option
as second choice. He also said
that there is rapidly growing SEN
timent favorable to restrictive meas
ures. In this, the Senator is un-
questionably right, and, if temper
ance people would only agree upon
some one line of policy, that senti-
ment would become a dominating
influence. The trouble is that tenn
perance people will not agree, at
least, they have not. The result is
that instead of helping the cause
they injure it by quarreling among
themselves. The high license
school, will have high license or
nothing; the local optionists, local
option OF nothing; the State dis
pensaries, State control or nothing,
and the Prohibitionists, the most
stubborn and uncompromising of
all, would rather see the streets run
fathoms deep with wassail than
yield an inch.
It seems to US that now is the
appointed time for earnest temper
ance people to get together. The
great business concerns of the
country have taken long stride in |
the direction of temperance by,
many OF them, refu sing to employ |
the Incorporate. The Federal |
Government has prohibited its en-
ployes, engaged on public works,
from alcoholic indulgence. Indeed,
most everything is working to the
accomplishment of the end sought
for by sincere temperance advo-
Gates. With these tremendous
forces behind them and the general
trend of public sentiment with
them, what prodigies of good
might be accomplished if temper
ance people would only join hands,
adopt definite, practical policy
and united pursue it.
Along this line, "a suggestion
might be offered: The liquor rraf-
nc has enjoyed legal and leeiti-
mate status for untold centuries
upon millions of dollars
are invested In it in consequence Of
that status. You cannot now in S

The business Of importing Wild animals.
birds and reptiles for shows and geological
parks IL constantly growing In this country.
Most Of the animals are imported through
New York and come from Calcutta, which
is the great market for all Inhabitants Of
the Jungle In transit they are handled
much like cases Of dry goods.
About once a month an ocean liner comes
into this port which the marine reporters
describe as a floating msnagerie on ao-
count Of her cargo. Generally the German
ships bring thess oargoes, and Hoboken
is the landing place for most Of the Wild
beasts,
Recently two ships arrived there with
wild animals and reptiles. One ship brought
six elephants, eighteen lions, twelve
leopards, several hundred monkeys and
birds and more than 500 pythons. Eigh-
teen OF the pythons were full grown.
One OF them was the longest ever imported
here, measuring SO feet, according to the
animal men,
From this list Of strange passengers one
might suppose that there was room for
little else on the ship that brought them.
As a matter Of fact, animals take up very
little room; hardly more than 90 many
cases Of dry goods would.
II you wander over to Hoboken and
watch one Of these arks unload you are apt
to be a bit surprised at the ease with which
untamed beasts, fresh from the Jungle,
are handled They don't travel in the
heavily barred cages In which they are
seen in the shows, nor do any Of them
except the elephants and the camels, travel
in stalls on shipboard.

ISLANDS MAY GET
CHINESE LABORERS

A press dispatch from the Pacific
coast gives what purports to be the
outline draft of a treaty proposed by
the Chinese government to deal with
the question of exclusion and take the
place of the existing convention be-
! tween the United States and the Celes-
tial Empire. Under this treaty laborers
OF each country are to be excluded from
the other, miners, hawkers, washermen
and fishers being included under the
term laborers. Americans or Chinese
not being laborers are not within the
restriction. Chinese laborers for coun-
tries other than America are to have
the right to pass through the United
States subject to such regulations as
may be adopted, and Chinese laborers
are to be admitted into the Hawaiian
Islands and the Philippines on the
same terms as the subjects of other
Eastern nations. Chinese subjects
other than laborers are to be admitted
into and permitted to reside in the
United States provided certificates are
furnished them. These may be re-
garded as the suggestions of China;
how far they will commend themselves
to the administration at Washington
remains to be seen.-Bradstreets.
