| In BOISE BASIN.
High Grocery Prices in the
Early DAvS.

w. II. Jones, a pioneer OF Foist
Basin, writing toithc Caldwell News
gives interesting news concerning tht
high prices that existed in that great
placer camp over forty years ago.
Boise Basin, In Boise county, Idaho,
was struck In 1852, following closely
upon the discovery OF gold in Pierce
City, Florence, Elk City and Warrens,
all In this state. Many old placer
miners maintain to this day that IT
was the best poor mans camp ever
discovered. 1t is still considerable
producerof gold, both quartz, and
placer. Mr.. Jones says:
= The prices were such that gain or
loss OF Is to 20 per cent amounted to
nothing. In 1866, -four sold at
from $40 to $50 per sack of 50 pounds
cabbage at so cents per pound; lum-
her six cents per foot and logs secured
within II few hundred yards OF The
niills5frOm the forest 0f great pines;
sewing thread so cents per spool; pies

Norwegian, now a successful farmer
near The Dalles, Oregon. had the
only chicken ranch and the Only
price he ever sold eggs FOR from 1865
to 1867 was $3.50 per dozen, and on
holidays they all vent at $j2. Car
penters got $l2 and SIG per day,
Miners on day shift received 81 aud
those who worked at night So. Those
who boarded at hotels paid SIG per
week. How we long for the good old
days when money came and went 50

AGAINST TURKEY,
Arrangements for Action Temporarily
DELAYED

LONDON, November 11-Ffnal arrange
ments for a combined naval demonstration
against Turkey have been delayed pending
the report of replies from the powers to a
suggestion from Lord Lansdowne, the Brit
ish foreign secretary, that the demands be
extended to include not only financial but
judicial control over Macedonia by the Eu-
ropean powers and the extension of re-
forms to the vilayet of Adrianople, which.
though disturbed like Macedonia, was not
included in the present Austro- Russian
scheme.
At the foreign office 1t was said to the
Associated Press today that the refusal of
any power to agree to this new proposal
will make no difference in the attitude of
Great Britain, which country in any event
will join in the proposed demonstration
against Turkey. The next step, 1t was
said. will be an ultimatum, In which 1t
will be stated that in the event OF a re-
fusal by the porte to accede to the de-
mands of the powers a demonstration will
Immediately be begun
The Associated Press was informed that
command of the combined fleet would fall
upon Austria.

TRANSFER OF THE BANCROFT.
Will BE Used Hereafter by the Rev
enue Cutter Service.

The United States naval training ship
Bancroft, built as a training ship for the
Naval Academy, is to be turned over by
the Navy Department to the Treasury De-
partment and will be used as a training
ship for the revenue cutter service. For
several years past the authorities of the
revenue cutter service have been anxious to
obtain a ship in place of the old practice
bark Chase, which has been used as the
ship on which the cadets training for Of
ficers In the revenue cutter service were
trained. The Bancroft was unsuited for
naval purposes. and the revenue officers
started the necessary official machinery
in motion to have the vessel transferred
to the revenue service. Their efforts have
been successful and an order has been is
sued making the transfer, which, however
is only temporary in character. The reve-
nue. service officers want the Bancroft per-
manently attached to that service, and a
movement has been started to have the
change authorized by Congress.
The Bancroft is rated as fourth-class
gunboat in the naval register She was
built at Elizabethport, n. j.. in 1893 by
Moore & Sons. as stated, for cadet train
ing purposes. She is 1874 feet long, has
a beam of 80 feet and draws II feet 2
inches of water. Her speed Is about 141h
knots an hour. and she formerly carried
square sails like the old sailing ships of the
navy. and is admirably adapted for train
ing in seamanship and steam engineering
in both Of which the revenue service Of
ficers have to become proficient before they
are graduated from the training school at
Arundel Cove near Baltimore.
The Bancroft is now lying al the Nor
folk navy yard, but as soon as the over
hauling of the cutter William Window is
completed she will go to Norfolk and tow
the Bancroft to the Arundel Cove station,
where such alterations will be made in
her as are necessary to fit her for the new
service in which she will be employed. The
use of the old Chase will be abandoned, 1t
is understood, as soon as possible and the
classes of cadets now in the training school
will be transferred to the new ship.
To say the revenue service officers are
pleased at this addition TO the service would
be putting 1t entirely too mildly.

A SCHEME UNEARTHED
ANOTHER ARREST IN ALLEGED
FRAUD-$5o,o 900 INVOLVED.

PHILADELPHIA, November 1.-Postal
inspectors have arrested w. u. Elliott OF
New York, who they allege is implicated
with Edwin l.. Parker, now under bail, and
Samuel ]. Long of New York, in scheme
TO defraud by which they are said to have
secured at least $4,000 Elliott was given
a hearing today before United States Com
missioner Craig and held in 5000 bail for
a further hearing on November II. 1t Is
probable that he will then be held for his
appearance In Baltimore. where it Is said
the operations of the alleged swindle were
conducted from.
Edwin l.. Parker was arrested two weeks
ago charged with obtaining s2,210 worth of
diamonds from ]. e. Caldwell & Company
of this city. At that time he represented
himself to be a confidential agent of Z. l..
Parker & Company OF Baltimore, who are
rated at about $500 900 in the various rating
companies.
According to Postal Inspectors Cortelyou
and Ryan. the swindle has not only been
confined to iewelry, but also to forming
cotton pool, lumber deals and mining securl-
ties.
Their operations it Is said, were much
similar to those of the Storey Cotton COM
pany, which was exposed by Ryan and Cor
Telyou in this city several months ago. The
three men traded under the firm name OF
+. L. Parker e Company and the I. Calvert
Commission Company. The Calvert COM
mission Company was the company winch
handled the cotton pool.
