MaCkay COIlapses.

A collapse that may prove to be
more than temporary has occurred
to the town of Mackay, which has
struggled from its infancy, for life
as copper mining camp. The
blow fell at time when the conf
dence Of the people of that district
was just on the verge of renewal,
over the prospect of the property Of
the White Knob Copper Co., being
again opened. This company has
been the life of the town as far as
mining interests are concerned, and
besides owning the mining property
and smelter, installed most OF the
improvements; such as water works,
fire departments and similar bene-
fciaries, including many residences.
Two authoritive officers of this
company, bearing the names oftwo

OF the company. 1t seems from all
reports that as soon as they arrived
they went over the property, after
which all operations were immed'
lately suspended, save the work OF
rendering the plant incapable of ac
ton, and the holdings of the com
yany were offered for sale at tire
mendously low prices. Many o
the residence properties, it is said
have been almost given away

fering the agonies consequent on
taking a dose of strychnine. REM
edies were promptly administered
and death averted. The girl is
about thirteen years of age and took
the poison with suicidal intent.
She soon repented and telephoned
neighbors, saying what she had
done. So far as known she had no
cause for the rash act, except a gem
eral feeling of dependency. The
prompt administration of emetics
saved her life. 1t was while return
ing from this case that DR.. Hamil-
ton met with the accident that
might have proved fatal to himself.

Speaking of the visit of the Con-
gressional irrigating party to Utah,
the Salt Lake Herald says:
Curiosity had been expressed by
number as to the reception Sena-
tor Dubois would receive in Utah,
after the onslaughts he has been
making on the Mormons in general,
and upon Senator Reed Smoot in
particular. Some were nervous as
to the outcome of the meeting of
the two senators. There was no
cause for nervousness. David and
Jonathan never fell upon each 9TH
er's necks to better effect than did
these two senators.
How are youy Reed?"
"Hullo, Fred, old man; glad to
see ye!"
That's the way it started. Then
with locked arms they made their
way through the car. Senator
Smoot insisted on introducing Sen.
ator Dubois to every soul aboard,
even to the colored porter. When
there was no one else to introduce,
the "gentleman from Utah" took
the gentleman from Idaho" into a
corner, and two long separated
school girls never had more ami
mated gossip than did these two
statesmen. There they sat, swap
ping yarns, when they should have
been struggling in death grapple
in the fifty feet of blue salt water il
the lake. 1t was an exhibition O.
Christian fortitude that will no1
soon be forgotten by those who KEEP
watch over their shoulders
1t must be admitted in order t.
keep history straight that Senator
Dunois' reception from some of the
women present was not so cordla
as that of Senator Smoot's.

IDAHO BRASS BAND.
An Effort to Promote an Idaho Musi-
cal Organization for the Fair.

NAH GtHONS ~ EBObAAVGC uN AuusAV NsuSA~
cal Organization for the Fair.
Some time ago prominent Cald-
we'll brass band musician had talk
with Governor Gooding in respect
to having an Idaho band at the
Portland exposition on Idaho day.
The Governor enthusiastically
approved the plan, and, in a quiet
way the proposition is being worked
out. It is believed that a band
could be organized, having repre-
sentatives from each county, that
would open the eyes and charm the
ears of eastern visitors at the fair.
1t would be a grand advertisement
for the State and attract more at
tention than any number of ordin-
ary exhibits. @
The Tribune would be glad if the
other papers of the State would dis
cuss this matter, and, if possible,
arouse interest in their respective
localities. Mr.. Beatty, president of
the Caldwell band, started the
movement, and assures us that
Caldwell is in position to furnish a
number of first class musicians.
1t is to be hoped that the Idaho
commissioners will take an interest
in this matter and give the band
men all the encouragement possible
and such substantial aid as condi-
tions will permit. Let Idaho be
represented by so or 60 good
musicians, just to show the elite
that there is no lack of culture or
anything else of any account in this
great State.

Drown In Snake River.

The American Falls Advertiser
reports the following drowning case
near American Falls:
Mr.. James Southwick, sixteen
year old son of J. J. Southwick,
whose home is in Great Falls, Mon
tana, lost his life by drowning at
the Narrows last Sunday afternoon.
About three o'clock father and
son crossed the river in a row boat
about hundred feet above the rap
ids. at what is locally called the
narrows, nine miles down the river
from this point.
While returning a few minutes
later the boat was capsized; the
father jumping with the rope with
which he hoped to get the boat
ashore while shouting to the son to
hold to the boat. In the swift cur
rent the father became entangled
in the rope and was quickly carried
into the foaming water between the
high banks of the narrows.
When last seen the young man
was astride the upturned boat.
The father was carried to a point
nearly a quarter mile below the
place where the boat was capsized
and was in the water nearly twen-
ty-five minutes, miraculously es-
Gaping death many times. When
completely exhausted he found that
he had reached sand bar and was
able to walk ashore.
Searching parties have not been
able to find the body of the unfor-
tunate young man.

this is matter which deserves the
earnest consideration of the COM
munity, especially the business ele-

WHY THEY DON'T.

WHY THEY DON'T.
An item in Boise paper states
that there may not be public cele-
oration Of the Fourth of July at the
capitol this year because a number
Of people have arranged to go out
OF town on that day, and moreover
thereis is an absence of enthusiasm.
The fact Of the matter is there is a
general decline of enthusiasm for
Fourth of July celebrations. The
patriotic and commemorative
features have either been relegated
to the back ground or entirely elm
mated. Whether to celebrate or
not to celebrate is no longer a ques-
ton OF patriotism but wholly ques-
ton of commerce. The considera-
ton of first importance is purely
mercenary.
No community, and but few in
dividuals ask, fought we, as a mat
ter of patriotic duty, celebrate the
anniversary of American indepen-
dence?" Tha. never enters into the
discussion. The question is; Will
it nay? Will it bring business to
town? Can we afford il? If a eel
ebTation be determined on the ques-
ton of great moment is finance
the finance committee, Great care
is exercised in securing a committee
t lat is expert at raising funds. The
more money we get the more we
ebulliate with love of country. Then
comes attractions - something to
draw the country people-some-
thing to hold the crowd. There
must be races, base ball, creased
pigs and horribles. Shades of the
departed! And these things
are employed as expressions of our
reverence for the memory of the
brave and noble men who fought,
bled and died that freedom might
live.
The butcher and the baker, the
soap chandler and the candle stick
maker rig out, fantastic vehicles and
send them into parade to advertise
their respective wares, turning In
dependence day into a faring, glar-
ing bill board.
The committee on arrangements
is commissioned to get a reader and
speaker, but at the same time is
admonished to instruct the reader
to expurgate the long sentences
from the Declaration and have the
speaker cut it short. The crowd
takes no interest in such things.
What the great, throbbing citizen
ship pine for is horse racing and
creased pigs, soda water, ice cream
and lager beer.
If Washington, Jefferson, Johu
Hancock and Tom Payne could
have foreseen the style in which In
dependence day would be celebrated,
they wouldn't have done it. They
would have told George III to GO
right along ignoring petitions, tax
ing without representing or doing
any other acts of injustice and op-
preston that might occur to him.
And Patrick Henry instead Of an
nouncing, "Give me liberty or give
me DEATH" would have said, give
me chains and torture rather than
a Fourth of July celebration on the
American plan.

many. Mr.. Sulzer has planned
