in caring for the roads and making
travel into the mountain district easy.
If freight charges become burdensome
to companies operating mines here they
will have the means and the influence
to change the conditions. The change
may be accomplished in different ways ::
the electric road can, be extended from
Grangeville to this place, in which event
Grangeville would be able to retain a
part of it's prestige; or road might be
built from Newsome to Kooskia, by pri-
vate find, thereby avoiding several big
grades and cutting the distance to the
railroad by about twenty miles. And
there remains another plan: in the event
of the Milwaukee or some other road
building down the Middle Fork the
distance, twenty miles, could be covered
by wagon road or railroad.
The Mining News does not care to
profess the belief that any of the pos
sibilities mentioned above will become a
reality soon, although all of them are
feasible, but this paper wants to go on
record in saying that the transportation
problem in the mountain country of
Idaho county is going to undergo rad
ical change in the next few years. This
district is rich in mineral and capital in
tends to make use of it's riches. County
roads will be needed, whether the rail-
road comes next summer or twenty-five
years from this time, and the state of
Idaho and Idaho county could make nc
better sacrifice of time and money than
to use it in improving the highway tc
this district. A new road is little
more than could be asked for, but ar
appropriation for the improvement Of
the present road is necessary. Idaho
should loosen up, appropriate for public
highways, thereby adopting some of the
ways of it's progressive sister states
Oregon and Washington.

terminal rates. The cities are opposed
in the request by Seattle, Tacoma, Port
land, all having terminal freight rates,
and San Francisco, which has similar
scrap on hand with Denver which has
begun suit against the southern trans
continental railroads. There is a great
deal of fairness in the demands of the
inland country cities and towns, but
with the great commercial wealth of the
terminal cities, built up through special
privileges, it is doubtful if the commits
sion will be able to adjust the matter in
a way satisfactory to all. The special
advantages the coast cities hold over
the inland country are the direct result
of unwise or unfair legislation, which,
it appears, congress should have remed-
led in it's late bill. Anyhow, Senator
Hepburn will try at the present session
of congress to have the rate bill amend
ed SO it will be unlawful for the rail-
roads to charge more for short than a
long hall.

It's Going to Be Old Fashioned Winter

n
The Moscow Journal has figured that
this winter is going to be a severe one,
for the following reasons:
The corn husks are foot and half
thick, and all the stalks lean to the
west.
The frogs have already begun search
ing the bottoms of mill ponds and mud
holes to find out the deepest places.
The geese, ducks and chickens are
growing coat of fur under their feath-
ers and are rubbing borax on their feet
to harden them up.
All the one-eyed owls are, leaving the
country month earlier than usual, and
the, bob tailed squirrels are laying in
sweet potatoes as well as nuts, for
winter provision.
The farmer who has taken the trouble
to investigate has found that all the
toadstools on the old logs have wrinkles
on them. The last time that this hap
pened we had winter that froze the
handles off of plows.
Rabbits are sitting around, with a
bumped up look to them, and field mice
have wrinkles. in their tails. If this
means anything, it means, twenty de-
grees below zero from December
through to May.
Cows are hunting around for pieces
of flannel to wrap up their tails in, and
hogs are roofing their way to the mid
die of straw stacks. In Idaho this is a
sure sign that the highways will be
blockaded with snow for weeks at a
| time.
The watermelon had an unusually
short season, carrots are so brittle that
you can't pick your teeth, with them,
and the rail fences Of the country show
q disposition to lie down and rest.
The farmer who makes the weatherse
study has found that the clouds are
floating high, the geese .squawkine
louder than usual and the polecat show
ing familiarity that he has not be-
trayed for ten years past. There isn't
the least doubt that we are in for G
regular old buster, and the man who
pays his debts this fall may have reason
to regret it before spring.

NATURE AND MAN.

Oh, the glance of the dew! Oh, the
flame of the rose springing forth
of the thorn!
Oh, the song of the arrow marked finch
singing love in the front of the
morn.
Who will speak to them all of the rap
ture they wake in the children of
men?
Who will so lovingly speak, they will
heed and answer again?
The glance of the dew but repeateth
the liquid glance of the sky,
And the flame of the rose is not bright
err in token as man passes by,
And the song of the finch, though his
little heart with ecstasy break,
From the answering rapture of man
no quickening impulse shall take.
o drops of the dew! 0 pride of the
thornl O singing bird!
Is there never a mutual tongue, is
there never a. common word, d.
Wherein to give thanks, wherein to
give praise, from the hearth ye
have filled
With the pure distillment of joy which
your cup, over trimming, has
spilled?

HARMONY SHOULD PREVAIL.

The fifty-eight votes cast at the cleo
ton of road overseer in this district last
Monday, the heaviest vote ever cast at
such election, is a strong testimonial
that the people are alive and awake to
the things this district needs most, and
it ought to be convincing argument to
the board of county commissioners and
the prairie country in Idaho county that
the mining districts shall expect the full
apportionment of county funds to be
expended on the mountain roads the
coming year. The full vote going to
R. F. Romero is fine tribute to that
gentleman, and the Mining News hopes
there will be nothing occur in his adj
ministration that might cause the voters
to feel that their confidence was mis-
placed in their selection of road over
seer. The position is a thankless one
at best, with but small salary at
tached; Mr.. Romero cannot hope to
please all who travel over the roads for
the money is not at hand to place the
road in such good condition as to meet
the approval of all. But if Mr.. Romero
is successful in working in harmony
with the county board, and conyinces
them that the interests of the prairie
country and the interests of the mining
districts are so entwined that a benefit
to one of them is a benefit to all, then
an understanding will have been reached
that has long been hoped for by both
sides. ss
The Mining News believes the time
has come for the merchants in Grange
vile and other towns in Idaho county to
see that their greatest opportunities,
their big chance to increase their trade,
lies in the mining districts, especially
Elk City and Orogrande districts, which
are now at the beginning of prosper
Gus and rapid growing era, an era that
will see established in these districts
several of the biggest and richest min
ing companies in the country. Z,
Grangeville is, naturally, the distrih!
uting point for this mountain country.
1t is the seat of government for the
county, where all recording is done ano
legal and commercial transactions are
carried through. Grangeville is the
metropolis of central Idaho, and has
gained such an ascendency over its
rivals that none can wrest the position
from Grangeville if the town but guards
its own. But Grangeyille, will be Sc
cure only in the measure it will assist

THE PRESS AND THE PUBLIC.
The editor of the Pocatello Advance,
a weekly newspaper, is defendant in a
lawsuit growing out of the recent politi-
cal campaign during which, it is alleged,
by the plaintiff, prominent citizen,
that the editor printed libelous articles
concerning him.
The editor of the Advance is young in
the field of newspaperdom, and whether
he is acquitted or not by the court, the
experience will impress upon him good
many facts which he will be able to
make use of in the future. And the
public, too, ought to receive little en-
lghtenment on how newspapers are
made and what relation exists between
the newspaper and the general public.
Time was when it appeared to be the
duty of the editor to guard the public
morals and institutions as a mother
guards her young. If a citizen had
stolen sheep and later tried to break
into the. public crib through Office, it
was the editor who hurled contumely
upon him, and engaged in as much RI
baldry as his grasp of the language
would permit. Voters of today can re-
call when political campaigns were very
warm affairs, made so by editors of
papers who wanted to retaliate on a
candidate more than they cared for the
public good.
Newspapers of the present perform
the same duty for the community that
the newspapers of the past performed,
only the public good is guarded in more
diplomatic, sane and conservative way,
Writers for newspapers have learned
that the public cares very little for the
editors personal feeling on a matter
writers have learned that billings-gatt
is rasping on the nerves of refined
people and isinot convincing. Readers
want the facts in a plain, unvarnishet
way, and when the newspaper has fur
nished the facts it has filled its mission
The Mining News believes the editors
of the country press, as class, are thu
most fair-minded and just men that cal
be found. Occasionally brother goe
astray, but the fault is traceahle to in
e2perienee oftener than it is to selisl
desire.
