THE sun of Blaine Salisbury's
life has gone down while it was
yet morning. On the threshold
of future that seemed to hold
naught but the bluest sky, the
brightest flowers, the fairest
hopes, the hand of death has
touched him. Soon he will be
laid away in his last sleep. Why
was this boy taken +? In the
house of mourning they are ask
ing that question, in many a
home where he was known and
loved it is being repeated over
and over again, Why, why, why?
And the only answer is God
knows.
THE human understanding
cannot pierce the impenetrable
veil that hides this decree.
Human consolation for those
who are bereaved is a CHASTITY
mockery; human hands cannot
lift from their hearts this crush
ing burden of sorrow. Blessed
are they if they can find consola-
tion in the thought that God was
good to let them have the boy so
long. There is a rift in their
cloud if they can say, and be-
lieve THE Lord gave, the
Lord hath taken away; blessed
be the name of the Lord"
Blaine Salisbury was the sort
of boy that can i'll be spared
from any circle of life. Clean,
bright, manly, he went about
making acquaintances. 1t was a
Joy to know him, a pleasure to
be associated with him. He was
in the golden period when the
boys vacation was about ending
and the mans work beginning,
and he was going forward with
it cheerfully, confidently, serene
ia his youthful power to over
come all obstacles, all Difficult
ties. The end of his hopes, his
ambitions, his strength has come

d. r. Biggs, familiarly known
as John Biggs, died at Sheep
Mountain on the 9th inst, the
probable cause being heart fail
ure, as he was talking to Chas.
VanDorn and VIM. Burns, seem
ing in very good spirits, when
he leaned over against a rock
pile and then fell to the ground

regular form and the remains
were placed that relatives or
friends can remove them at any

has served notice on all the irri-
CATION companies throughout the

done the companies will be pros
ecuted.
The saddest thing that can be-
fall a boy is to have the liberty
to keep late hours, as in Challis.
1t is when the curtain of night
closes over nature that a great
deal of mischief is planned and
executed. The boys who are
under lax government and who
are permitted to roam the public
streets at all hours of the night
are the boys who bring sorrow
upon their relatives and friends.
All parents should stop and
think of this.
A young lady working in a
stocking factory fearing her
chance small for life partner,
wrote the following and slipped
it into the toe of a gentlemen s
sock "A young lady, good
looking and of some means,
would like to correspond with
the wearer of this stocking, if he
is single, with a view to matri-
mony." A young man in Den
yer bought the sock and said /:
There is my chance. He wrote
to the young lady, offering him
self as a suitable party, and to
his surprise got this reply: Il
have been married eight years
and have a family of FIVE child
ren. The man from whom he
bought the socks had never ad-
vertised, consequently they had
lain on his shelves for eight
years.
The tax levy of Lemhi county
this year is $3.50, and that OF
Custer county $4.OO. Only 40
cents difference after the big

cut the valuation of cattle, down
$3.0 90 per head from last year,
and it made a difference of re
duction of $32, 200 in Custer
county's assessment roll this
year. The State each year under
a republican administration and
graft is rapidly increasing its
taxation upon the people. But
why should the people complain
even if they do pay half they
make for taxes ? Under this ad-
ministration you are expected to
pay your fittings. This is a

tained by the preliminary Investigation
made concerning the circumstances sur
rounding the death Of Midshlpman

There are indications that drastic &C

James r. Branch of New York, father
of Midshipman Branch, accompanied by

The president, who has known Mr..

stated that Mr.. Branch did not call on
the president to urge an investigation
by the naval authorities into the death
of his son.
Mr.. Branch and his sister then called
on Secretary Bonaparte at the navy de-

HANCOCK, MlCH.-While is is assured that

twelfth congressional district, which includes
within its boundaries the entire upper peninsula,
the announcement emanating from Sault Ste.

up at the ext session of the legislature is con-
sidered entirely premature.

copper counties know nothing Of the plan and
do not take the report seriously, believing that
1t has had origin In fractional differences at
the 500. When the upper peninsula is redis-

DAKOTA IN
NEED OF IMMIGRATION
North Dakota's Growth Is At,
tributed TO Vast Amount
of Advertising.
LITTLE HAS BEEN DOM
In South Dakota No Great Effort Has
Been Made to Interest Homeseek-
ers While Sister State Works
Winter and Summer.

Pierre, S. D., Nov, 1S.-When the
two Dakotas were admitted to state
mood in 1889, South Dakota had fully
a third more population than did the
north state. At the present time the
population of the two states is prac-
tically the same figure as shown by the
census of this year.
Ever since the admission, North Da-
kota has been working to secure new
population. It's state land Department.
is supplied with a sufficient fund for
advertising purposes to send out illus
trated circulars, and a large amount
of printed matter, in which not only
the state lands alone are advertised,
but the section in which they are To-
Gated are shown up to the best ad-
vantage. During the same time the
Great Northern road has kept in eX-
istence an immigration bureau of it's
own and has done a great deal toward
securing settlers for that state.
For the same time every effort to
secure anything in the way of an APP
preparation from the legislature of
South Dakota for advertising the
state, or keeping of an immigration
bureau in existence has met with a
cold turn down. Nothing has been
done outside of private effort of differ
ent land companies.
The results OF the different policies
followed by the two states is shown in
the figures which give North Dakota
a gain of 10000 in population since
1880 and South Dakota a gain of but
10000. The question OF action is be-
ing generally discussed over the state,
