one OF the pioneer merchants of that
town Durell and Moore had a store
also at that time. Mr.. Biunzell later
on moved 10 Silver and carried on store
there for some time Your humble
servant superseded him little in both
towns. There is another old pioneer
and continuous resident Of the coun
ty, that is, John wagner. who opened
tile first bakery in Silver City in sixty
five. There are a few more old time
pioneers left; there is William Gabriel,
q. A. Thompson, Jim Dolan, all of whom
blazed the Trail, to my knowledge, be-
fore there ever was a wag Il road made.
As regards the laying out of Silver Cny
it was layed out in the summer OF sixty
four by an organized town company,
composed Of some Of the following men,
Douivan and Thomas; Donivan was a
miner, Thomas a blacksmith, aud had
d shop ou Jordan street Oh the corner
where the chluese store now stands.
William WeIch v as another aud built
The first two houses that were built on
the town site Of Silver, Que IS the resi-
deuce OF w. X. Hastings aud the other
is The Office of DR.. Heer; lie was a miner
and later sold the houses to A. f. Wells.
The other was William Winters a pros
pector, and at that time whip-sawed
lumber at the mouth Of Long Gulch,
built a house on the ground which is
now occupied 10y The War Eagle hotel.
IL was opened as restaurant by Viii
liam Mays aud later on was connected
with the War Eagle hotel and run by
A. W. Blackinger. The first saloon in
Silver was on the corner on Jordan
Street, on the opposite corner to Song
Lees store and was afterward purchas-
ed by me aud was converted into d bar
ber shop and bath house and during
my absence at HALEY, the snow broke
it down. The second one was the John
Crete saloon and later on they were too
numerous to mention. Your humble
) rvant owned all of the ground north
Of I.oug Gulch and had it all fenced.
He got it by purchase of a placer min
ing claim from Brown and Peterson and
all OF the lots along The street where
Nike Rocks saloon and restaurant
stand, he sold. The Crete saloon and
the White Front he nul!t himself aud
also did all the filling OF main street.
Owyhee county is also indebted TO
Leuis w. Walker for the cheapest court

Dewey, don't know of any buildings
built by him at that time, buLI DO know
that the existence Of Silver City today
is due to his energy aud pluck.

Something in the nature Of bomb
shell was thrown into the ranks Of the
democrats, when letter from Hon.
John HALEY, Of Boise, to Chairman
Lockhart, of the democratic committee,
was published on Sunday morning.
Mr.. HALEY who is as we'll known i'll
Idaho as any one in the state, aud who
for more than forty years in this state
has been an active and consistent demo-
crat, was invited by Mr. Lockhart to
take the stump for his party. Mr.. Hal
ley has made public reply to this invita-
ton, in which he takes occasion to ana
lyze the pretentions Of Mr.. Lockhart 10
represent democratic party, while at
the saline time advocating undemocratic
and un-American principles. Ia his
letter Mr. HALEY points out that ac-
cording to Mr.. Lockhart's letter Of in
vitation, and according to the state
platform adopted at Couer d Alene, the
party is engaged solely in religious
warfare against All unoffending, honest
and thrifty people. Mr.. HALEY points
out that the records, the election re-
turns and many other things point
out the falsity Of the claim that the
Mormon church is attempting to die
tate in political affairs in Idaho there
are laws on the statute books to pun
ish such offenses, and the courts are
open to the prosecution Of all violat-
ers Of these laws. He makes the points
that he has no knowledge of any cases
of polygamy III Idoho, and urges that
il Mr.. Dubois, Mr.. Lockhart or any
other citizen has such knowledge that
it is his duty to make complaint.
Among the old line democrats, who
have been voting that ticket since
Andrew Jackson was boy, there are
a number of others, who like Mr..
HALEY cannot see any democracy at
tached to an attack on the Mormon
people, which is uuprovoked and en-
tirely undersigned, and who have ex-
pressed firm intention of support
ing Governor Gooding and the entire
state ticket
They are being Joined in this by
large numbers of what are called
Steunenberg democrats, who believed
that an outrage had been committed
by the democratic party when at the
behest of the dynamite element of the
party, Steunenberg was not endorsed
by his party. Many of these people
openly express the conviction that
Steunenberg was then not only politi-
cally assassinated, but that in sense
encouragement was then given to
those who after the lapse Of years
succeeded in having him brutally muir
dered almost in the presence of wife
and children.
