Burton L. French.

We copy the following from our
Washington correspondents:
Congressman French's honesty and
integrity was put to the test last week
on the vote for the constructive mileage
grab His mileage would amount to
the magnificent sum of $780, and a
vote was being taken to give the MEM
bers this extra mileage which they
clearly we're not entitled to, but which
they could appropriate to themselves
if they so desired. A majority of the
far western members voted yes, but
French voted no and thus threw aside
$780,
The people of Idaho will be pleased
to know that their representative in
congress voted in the negative on the
mileage grab bill But what will be
of more interest to them is to know
that he has turned the amount into
the conscience fund, or what would
be better still, contribute it to some
charitable institution of his native
state. The Nugget believes that Con
gresham French will "shoot as be

Today is the day popularity known
as the Seventeenth of lreland-the an
niversary of Ireland's great patron
saints birthday. With a reverence
not equaled by that of any other peo-
pie, all true and loyal Irishmen cele-
brate today the birthday of Saint
Patrick. Warm hearted Irishmen in
every part of the world, Knights of
Saint Patrick celebrate today with as
much zeal as those yet remaining on
the auld sod of the Green Isle. And
there. are representatives from the
Gem of the Ocean in every cline, push
ing their way to the front Today is
red letter day on all their calendars,
and sure why should it not be so? Did
not St. Patrick, himself not an Irish
mau, but an Eytalian bishop of the
Catholic church, come among them
many centuries ago and establish his
religious faith among the people of the
Celtic race so firmly that to quote the
language of Macauley religion which
existed when eloqnence fourished in
Greece and idols were worshipped in
Antioch will exist and flourish when
perhaps some enlightened traveller
from New Zealand shall take his stand
on broken arch of London bridge to
sketch the ruins of st. Paul 1t is a
religion which has inculcated virtue
and honor everywhere, among both the
high and the lowly, and the Irish, the
warmest-hearted people in the world,
love and reverr it.
Like almost every other community
in America, we have Irishmen among
us, and they will, as usual, give grand
ball and banquent here tonight AS
usual it will be one of the bright occa
sions of the year.

The members of St. James guild met
at the residence of Mrs. Honstead on
Tuesday evening, March IA, with the
greatest secrecy, each laden with we'll
filled basket of good things. About
half-past eight they took up the line
of march and soon called halt at the
residence of Mrs. j. NJ Brunzell, when
they advanced and took the worthy
lady completely by surprise; the oc-
casion being her birthday. The num-
Der of years with which this lady has
been blessed, we promised not to di-
vulge, however, one gentleman present
was rash enough to guess about 25(?).
Games and cards we're INDUCED, and

ing had been so pleasantly spent.
Soon after, all we're summoned to
the dining room, where a table was
spread which would tempt the appetite
of the most fastidious; it was a lunch
that would have done honor to Del
monico, and the guests INDUCED as
though they were never moro happy.

presents from friends. tokens of their
kind regards. At late hour the guests
took their departure. wishing the good
lady many more days of the same sort,

Look Fine-A New Claim Near
Mahoeany Lakes.

Fred Barnes, the popular superin-
tendent of the B. N. & o. and Idaho
Northern railways, and Ed Matheson,
a prominent business man of Murphy,
a few months ago began to investigate
one of the peculiar greyish white sand
stone hills near the road about mile
this side of Murphy, and found the
material to have superior polishing
properties.
They sent some of it to the chemist
at the Idaho University for analysis
and he reported it to be 60 per cent.
pure silica and 10 per cent. lime, pos
sesslng the very combination which
constitutes tripoli of the finest grade,
a we'll known article of commerce.
They at once located the claim and
are now preparing to put the ma
terial on the market to take the place
of the combinations of whiting and
other substances usually sold as tripol
and under other names as polishing
powders.
They have since been consulting job
bers and dealers in eastern cities as to
the possibilities of a market for the
material, and have been assured that
if properly advertised and put on the
market in neat packages it will take
the place Of all the best polishing
powders known for putting lustre on
silver, brass and other metals, and will
probably take the place of rouge in
polishing plate glass, marble, granite,
etc. AS the material is compact and
firm, it can be saved from the quarry
in slabs, discs, or bricks, of suitable
shapes either at home or shipped in
large blocks to other points and pre-
pared for marketing.
AS it is superior material for filter
ing, it can be cut into discs and fitted
in water coolers, and used by rectifiers
druggists and others for filtering
liquids.
Messrs. Barnes and Matheson are
now sending out samples of the ma
terial to dealers, and asking for sug-
gestions as to the shape in which it is
best to place it on the market, suita-
BILE name to give il, and in regard tc
the style of an attractive label, wrap
per, etc.
1t is also known that this material is
superior absorbent for nitroglycerine
and will be extensively adopted by the
manufacturers of giant powder.

"The amount of money expended to
secure the division of Kootenai county
is variously estimated at between SlOs-
600 and $4,000" This is an editorial
statement in the Rathdrum Tribune, a
republican paper. If it is true, the
morals of the legislature must have
been at low ebb AS there are but
four democratic members of that body,
the assertion of the Tribune proves
that the republicans are unfit to pass
laws. The amount of money named
could not be legitimately used and the
statement therefore, implies bribery
and corruption. If the Tribune will
make specific charges there is no doubt
the guilty parties will be prosecuted
