The northern counties of Ida
no are not going to pay their
taxes this year to the State be-
cause the State demands a high
er levy than the Constitution al
lows. Under the last two re-
publican State administrations
the taxes have gone up out of
reason, and the people have a
just reason to rebel. If a State
can trample it's own Constitution
under foot, what respect to the
laws can the State expect from
the people ? Gov. Gooding now
threatens to close down the State
University if those people don't
pay their taxes.
Don't use big words. Speak
what you mean. In promulgat-
ing your esoteric cogitations and
inarticulating your superficial
sentimentalities and amicable
philosophical or psychological
observations beware OF platitudi-
nous ponderosity. Let your con-
versational communication poss-
ess a clarified conciseness, a
compreheRsibleness, coalescent
consistency and a concatenated
cogency. Eschew all conglom-
erations of fiatulent garrulity,
jejune babblement and asinine
affectations. Let your extern
poraneous decanting and unpre-
meditated expatiations have in
telligibility and veracious uiypa-
city without rhodemontade or
thasonical bombast.
And furthermore, sedulously
avoid all polysllylabic profund-
ity, pompous proclivity, psitlic-
eous vacuity, ventriloquial verb
osity and vaniloquent vapidity.
Shun double ententes, prurient
jocosity anu pestiferous profan-
ity, obscurant and apparent. In
other words talk plainly, briefly,
naturally, sensibly, purely, and
truthfully. Keep from slang;
don't put on airs; say what you
mean; mean what you say, and
don't use big words.
Capt. D. B. Varney, a pioneer
of this place, coming with the
rush in 1864, and who was also
one of the early settlers of Gus
ter and Bonanza, arrived here
last Friday evening from Custer
and left Saturday for Boise. The
Captain called on the World. He
expects mining revival in that
camp which has produced many
millions. Ravenel Macbeth, of
Custer county, and Henry Nc
Cornick, of Salt Lake, owner in
the Lucky Boy, at Custer, We're
expected at the mine last Satur-

mel is to be run from the mill to
tap the ledge at depth of 100
feet, which will be 800 feet be-
low the bottom of the shaft. The
tunnel will be 500 feet long and
will cut number of lodges that
have produced millions of dol
lars, including the Custer and
Unknown. The Montana mine,
owned by Amos Franklin and
others, has been bonded to capt.
alists who are running a tunnel
to cut the ledge eight or nine
hundred feet deep. This mine
