Lumber Famine Relieved.

]. o. Baker, the Trinity saw
mill man, was in town Monday,
having accompanied wagon train
loaded with lumber for the Garrett
& Bailey block. He has sold them
so, 900 feet and has eight four
horse teams delivering the goods.
Work on this building, the walls
of which are to be of concrete
block, has been delayed on account
of the difficulty in securing lum-
Der, for joists, floors, etc. The
price of lumber has SCARED so high
that it is almost prohibitive, land
building operations, except in cases
of urgent necessity have been sus-
pended. Work on the Garrett &
Bailey block is now being resumed.

All Carriers Behind Tint.

A press dispatch from Washing
ton, dated yesterday, says that
every one of the carriers under the
recently enacted railroad rate law
is seeking an extension CT time
in which TO file with the interstate
commerce commission it's schedule
of rates provided for by the act, be-
cause, it is stated, they have not
had the time necessary to complete
their schedule of rates. Represen-
tatives of nearly all of the 10 ex-
press companies doing business in
the United States were present at
today's hearing. Frank c. Plat,
of New York, of the United States
Express company, told the conf
mission that his company has thus
far prepared about 400, 900 rates,
but that il was not through by any
means. He said that the company
had strained itself to the utmost in
doing the work and now had so ad-
ditional men at work on the sched-
ules. He urged the commission in
addition to granting an extension
of time to do the work, not to
insist upon posting of the sched-
ule of rates at every office, as that
would be practically physical inn
possibility. In the course of Mr.
Platt's statement il was developed
that one-half, in round figures, of
the cost of the transmission of ex-
press matter was paid to the rail-
road companies and one-half for
carriage and other charges.

Register if You Wish to Vote.

Next Saturday will be the first
day when you may register in the
precinct in which you live. The
registrar of your precinct will be in
readiness for you to place your
name upon the list of electors on
that day and on each succeeding
Saturday to and including the last
Saturday preceding election. On
one of those days, if you wish to
vote this fall, you must register. 1t
matters not how long you may have
been a resident of your precinct or
how many times you may have pre-
viously registered. At the last ses-
sion of the legislature the registra-
tion law was changed. Formerly
registering once was sufficient, the
voters registrations being forward
ed to the new register just before
each election, and each elector so
registered might vote regularly as
long as he remained in the pre-
cinct. Under the new law, now in
effect, the old registration is of no
avail.

GAME OF POLITICS Is
NOW ORDER OF THE DAY
County Committees Meet This Week to
Issue Calls for Primaries and
Nominating Conventions.

the various Spokane hotels last
night. The friendly attitude to-
ward Senator Dubois evinced by
Mr.. Borah was viewed by many of
them as especially significant, in
view of similar expressions re-
garding Borah that have been
made by Senator Dubois. They
campaigned together in 1896 on
the same ticket, Dubois being a
candidate for senator and Borah
candidate for congressman. Borah
then spoke two words for Dubois to
one for himself.
This Damon and Pythias friend
ship was slow to break after Borah
returned to the republican fold.
Borah and Dubois are understood to
have had numerous conferences
anent the senatorship and that they
discussed Borah's candidacy as late
as the first of last June. That they
have a close understanding is the
opinion of their friends who were
seen last evening.
Republican friends of Borah aver
that Dubois does not hope TO beat
him, but is depending upon max
ing fight this campaign that,
while resulting in Dubois defeat,
will develop sufficient strength
and lay the foundation for sue
cessful contest against Senator
Hepburn two years hence. DEM
ocratic friends of Dubois assert that
while Dubois regrets having 10
wage his fight against life long
friend, he expects to win, but that
he and Borah secretly hope Dubois
will supplant Hepburn two years
hence.
That Borah has no love for Hey
burn is conceded even by his re-
publican friends. They assert
that he had to win his fight for
the nomination at the republican
state convention against the influ-
ence of Senator Hepburn and the
entire federal and state influence,
as well as that faction OF the party
known as the machine. - They
claim he was only able to secure
the nomination without causing an
open bolt by holding out an olive
branch in the nature of a promise
that he would keep his hands off
politics except as regards his own
candidacy, and that he was able
to bring about this compact be-
cause he was so popular with the
rank and file of his party as to
cause the machine" to fear him
quite as much as it hated him.

Teachers Institute.

The Teachers Institute of this
county will convene Monday. 1t is
the present intention to postpone
the work for two days, so that the
teachers who wish can visit Boise
during the Irrigation congress.
Wednesday the real work will be
commenced and continue through
the remainder of the week. Prof.
Culver instructs in grammar, arith-
metic and nature study; Prof. War
ner reading and history; Prof. Sim
pich, drawing, civil government
and geography. Wednesday even
ing at p m. in the court house
Prof. Warner will deliver lecture
on Europe as Seen by University
Students. - Thursday evening D.
w. Shelter will lecture on ''The
Teachers Profession. - Everyone
cordially invited to be present at
all sessions.
Since the above was put in type,
Maverick learns that the plan for
postponing the institute opening
until Wednesday has been aban-
doned. If the teachers visit Boise
at all, it will be on the day when
Vice President Fairbanks does
his turn, the teachers wishing to
take advantage of the cold wave.
The Institute will continue until
the work is completed, whatever
day that may be.

600 Stands of Bees.

George Atwater, the bee king of
the Boise valley, has 600 stands of
bees, which have produced over
40, 600 pounds of honey this season.
Mr.. Atwater has taken $4,000
pounds and will take in all about
35, 900 pounds before the season
closes. He sells chiefly at whole
sale and will receive over $4,000
for his summers work of looking
after the bees. That sum is not
all profit, but it represents very
handsome return on money and time
invested.

superintendent w. j. kcough,
of the Minerva mine, at Atlanta,
arrived in town last evening, ac-
companied by his assayer, c. c.
Smith and A. H. Ensly. They
were on their way to Boise with
the clean up from the plates. MIR.
Keough permitted the writer to
theft" the two grips which con-
tanned the bricks. In each the
weight was down in one end, and
was bullion, for sure. The Nav
ericlS mans guess as to the
weight of the stuff, based on
some little experience in this line,
w as that the two would tip the
scales at between 80 and 100
pounds. Mr. Keough refused to
break his twenty-five year record
for silence on this always interest
ing point. Assayer Smith, how
ever, remarked: 81 could make a
closer guess with my eyes shut.
You have given yourself a margin
of twenty pounds, or about $4, 600.
Yes, il weighs within twenty
of hundred pounds. -
There was not far from $40, 600
in gold in the two bars, possibly
more, possibly less. This is the
product of twenty-eight days run of
ten stamps, crushing no an average
of thirty tons a day, yield of bet
ter than $23 ton in free gold
which is going some.
Superintendent Keough was with
the famous Red Boy mine, in east
ern Oregon, for nine years. He
says that the Minerva has that great
property faded, and that within a
year or SO it will be classed with
the big mines in Idaho. There is
enough ore there to Justify the
installation of 100 stamps, and the
milling capacity will be increased
next year, but to what extent has
not yet been decided. The great
drawback to the district is the
trouble and expense of getting in
prospect of getting raiload in
to that section, operators are in
clincd to wait for its advent, be-
fore branching out on big scale.
when the railroad comes,' says
Mr. Keough, ''the Atlanta district
will be world beater in the way
of gold production.
AS was stated in these columns
several weeks since, the Minerva
is preparing to put in a cyanide
plant, of the Garvin patent. The
inventor of the process, which bears
his name, was on the ground some
days since, taking a look at it's
topography, in order to plan the
building. He will return in a few
days, when machinery and mater
ial will begin to arrive, and start
the work. The plant will have a
capacity of 100 tons day. Tail
ings are being banked and 1900
tons have already accumulated.
Incidentally, that man Smith, the
assayer, is six feet, six inches long,
and declares that he is the pigmy
of his family, having four brothers
in whose class for length he can
not enter. There is too much of
him for man of ordinary stature
to doubt his word to his face, so
Maverick quotes him without
comment.

Great Flow of Artesian Water.

DR.. Grigsby has made a most
important strike in his property
adjoining the Kelly Hot Springs
east of town. 1t consists of big
flow of hot water. He had driven
a tunnel into the hill, expecting to
secure a flow of hot water in that
way, but after going $50 feet the
rock became so hot the men could
not work even 10-minute shifts.
1t was then abandoned and drill
ing outfit was secured. Drilling
began some time ago at a point on
the side of the hill over the tunnel,
near the inner end of it. The work
progressed slowly until yesterday
afternoon, when, at a depth of 140
feet, without warning, the drill
dropped about two feet into what
seemed to be lake of boiling
water. The hot water rushed to
the surface with such force as to
almost drive the heavy drill to the
surface. When the tools had been
drawn from the 4-inch pipe, the
water poured out into the tunnel
with great force. The temperature
is over 200 and is very close to
the boiling point. The doctor will
now put down other wells only a
few feet distant, so long as he can
get greater flow by so doing, and
will then pipe the water four miles
to Boise for heating purposes. -
