Clear and sharp were the utter


Clear and sharp were the utter
ances of Judge Mcpherson of the
United States circuit court in St.
Louis in his decision refusing the
injunction sought by the attorneys
OF E. G. Lewis to prevent the
enforcement of the fraud order
issued by the postmaster general
against Lewis and his Peoples
United States bank" denying them
the use of the mails. He rudely
upset the false idea, entertained by
many people, that everybody has a
right to have his mail delivered to
him. 1t is, he declared, a privilege
only, granted to the people by con-
gress, and to be enjoyed only by
conformity with rules established by
the postmaster general under con-
gressional authority. Improper let
tiers or literature have no right to
mails, and the postmaster general is
the deciding authority. But for
these and other statutes our magnifi-
cent postal system could be, and as
experience shows would be, an
effective agency at nominal cost to
aid in the carrying on of all kinds
of schemes of debauchey, infamies
and rascalities. Whoever posts an
improper letter, quite properly crn
be sent to the penitentiary. The
same is true of one who posts let

A farmer named johnson, who lives
near Baltic, north of Sioux Falls, last
week adopted a unique method of heap

The son, it is alleged, pummelled his
father who made complaint to the sher-
ifs Office in Sioux Falls. The son was
arrested, and as the result of trial
before a justice of the peace at Baltic,
was convicted. At this juncture the
father relented, and not only paid the
fine of $25 which had been assessed
against the nndutiful son, but also pre-
sented:the lad with s25 in cash.

that an extension from Council to
Meadows (nine miles from Lardo)
will be made this year, work to
commence in the spring. Vice
President and General Manager K.
M. Heigho has stated defnately
that it is the intention of this rail
road to build to the Payette Lakes,
and it is probable that work on this
road and the road to Roosevelt will
begin about the same time and be
pushed right along until the great
mining camps are tapped.

At a distance of about so miles
.aorlv due north of Boise, entrance
!, made into one of the grandest
/ ,ceuic valleys on the face OF the
ssrth. 1t is Long Valley, the lar
sest tract of agricultural land in
Boise county, and it extends north
erlv for distance of about 6O miles,
with an average width OF about 8
/ miles. Majestic mountains bound

#heavily clothed along their bases
and we'll up their sides with mag
nifcent forests of yellow pine, red
and white fir, tamarack, spruce,
black pine, and other trees Of less
value, but all tending to increase
the magnifcence of the view.
The valley is splendidly watered,
numerous creeks of large size How
ing into the Payette river, which
runs entirely through the valley
from north to south. Among the
most important creeks may bemen-
toned Clear creek, Big creek, Gold
Fork, Lake Fork, Moore's creek
Boulder creek and Brush creek. A
natural luxuriant growth of wilc
grasses cover the valley where the
land has not been cultivated.

it does not drift except in few of
the most exposed parts of the val

does not freeze, snow covering it be-

soon as snow is off in the spring
work may commence. Winter is
the time when most of the work in
the timber is done, such as cutting
, fence posts and rails, barn logs, etc.
The population of Long Valley
&c somewhere between 1000 and
5000, (probably nearest the latter

the last past three years. The chief

valley is the gateway, demanding
more than the valley at present
produces. ~
The new wagon road to Thunder
Mountain comes up the valley to
Thunder City, whence it turns east
and follows Big creek and on to
the famous gold camp. This road
is also the mail route for the new
mining town of Roosevelt. There
is considerable talk of extending
the Idaho Northern railway from
Emmett along this road, and it is
said that work on the extension
will commence early this coming
summer.
Another road to Thunder Noun
tain is proposed via Warren, to
which place state wagon road
has beed in use for several years.
This road will touch Lardo on the
west, and really starts at Weiser, the
junction of the o. S. l.. and P. & l. N.
railroads, the latter line extending
to Council, where connection is made
by freight teams, which pass
through Meadows, on to the Payette
Lake and thence to Warren. There
are two or three trails to Thunder
Mountain on the east side of the
valley, as we'll as the wagon road.
A railway into the great mining
camps by this latter route seems
now to be almost an assured thing
Articles of incorporation of the
Big Greek and Thunder Mountain
railroad were filed with the secre
tary of state on the 18th of Nov
last. The road is to start at LardC
