FAvoRs a GOOD ROAD.

Governor Gooding has receiv
ed the following from the gen
eral manager of the Belle of
Thunder Mountain Mining Co.
with reference to the Macbeth
Hull bill, pending in the senate,
for the construction of road
from Custer county to Thunder
Mountain
NAMPA, Idaho, Feb. 11.-Mr.
Frank r. Gooding, Governor of
Idaho. Sir Regarding
the wagon road proposition from
Mackay to Thunder Mountain, ]
am sure it's not necessary to ex-
plain to you more than to say, in
my opinion, it would open more
mines than any other wagon road
in any state of the west. The
Belle company will build 10 miles
of the road (although we now
have one that cost our company
S19,5 because we can more
than cut cost of supplies and
transportation in two parts. The
Blackfoot country raises about
all the supplies our country
needs and over that route there
4 is but one divide to pull, while
the present road has five. 1t is
costing us 15 cents per pound
now to get necessary articles il
to Thunder Mountain. We are
ready to contract with the state
at any time on above PROPOSE
tion.
Yours respectfully,
r. w. PURDUM, Gen1. Mgr

MANY DEATHS IN CHINA
From Flour Accidentally Mixed With
Struggled Morphia.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 3.-The steam
snip Coptc brings news of many deaths
IN the inland country OF China. According
10 story from Annoy II has been the Gus
tom to smuggle morphia into that section,
as the duty on the drug was very heavy.
Recently a number of boxes of the drug
Were smuggled inside a shipment of flour.
In some manner the boxes broke, causing
the deadly drug to become mixed with the
flour.
instead of the flour being condemned the
stuff was sold 10 the up-country districts.
Within week people began to die in large
numbers, and for nearly a month the Chi
reese were dying from the poison admins
tered in apparently the most mysterious
"a manner. II is estimated that fully fifty
"eeT,e died of morphia poisoning.

Secretary Morton's Address.
Upon being introduced Secretary Morton
said:
when the microbe Of civilization begins
its endless work in the brain of a barba-
rian one Of the first things to be looked
after Is a better foot trail through the
mountain or over the plain and as civil
ization advances good roads and better
transportation become one of the chief
studies Of men. The present conference OF
delegates from all over the world to dis
cuss ways and means Of lettering the
transportation facilities of the globe only
indicates the growth OF civilization and
demonstrates that there Is reciprocity in
the exchange OF ideas concerning the best
way to railroad. Such a meeting can only
be regarded with the greatest favor by ali
intelligent people.
1.-The story Of the transportation of this
country and of the improvements in trans
portation facilities is the history of Ameri-
can progress. 1t is no exaggeration to say
that the prominent commercial position of
the United States In the world today Is
chiefly on account of its low railroad rates,
and IT is not at all out of the way for me
to say that II 1t were not for American
railway appliances the cost of transporta-
ton In this country would not today be as
cheap as it is. 1t has been estimated that
where one dollar has been invested In rail-
roads in the United States the value of
agricultural property has been increased
ten dollars. The steel rail and the steam
engine, with all the other railway appli-
ances. have been pioneers in the develop
ment Of this country. Many unknown
sections have been prospected with loco
motive.
