AN ADVANTAGEOUS CONDITION

This camp has assembled a class
of miners who stand high above the
average. They are of the home max
ing kind and not men who are in
today and out tomorrow. The ma
jority of them came in here with in
tention of remaining in the event
they found the camp to be as good
in promise as they had been led to
expect from reports on the outside.
They found they had not been misled
and that they could settle here and
arrange to bring their Families with
assurance that as long as they wished
they could stay and work in ore bod
les of Cumberland Ely and Nevada
Consolidated at good wages and amid
desirable surroundings. With this
foundation at start there is every rea-
son to expect that growth of the camp
will be along lines of continued ex-
cellence from the labor standpoint;
that the men who come in as the.
field for labor grows will be of the
same excellent class as those now
here, attracted indeed, by their
presence. That means a community
of men who will stand for advance
ment, for the prevalence of decency
and good government and against dis
tnrbance and turmoil as long as a
fair deal is given, which is assured
as long as the present control con-
times. There is no better mining
camp anywhere for the industrious,
ambitious man who gets his living
from work underground to tie up
with than this. 1t has prosperity and

and honest expression of their sit
uation, was as follows:
whereas, it is impossible for the
mine operators of this district to OBJ
tain gold or currency to pay for la
Dor and supplies, and, whereas, the
miners by official action of the local
miners union have refused to accept
in payment for labor the only substi-
tute for gold obtainable, and
Whereas, the local labor market
has been unstable and in state of
unrest to an extent that has material
" injured the prosperity and success
full development of the resources of
the Goldfield district and the entire
state, and
Whereas, the present financial
crisis has caused the smelters to place
a prohibitive rate upon the treatment
of Goldfield ores;
Resolved, that the mines of the
Goldfield district remain closed until
the present financial crisis is re-
lieved, until local labor conditions are
settled to the satisfaction of the OPP
orators of this district and until the
smelters will treat Goldfeld ores at
a rate which will warrant the mine
production.

1t is significant that although the
postmaster-general of the United
States has representative actively
working for an Endorsement of his
domestic parcels post scheme by the
trans-Mississippi congress in session
last week at Muskogee, Okla, the
project was defeated all around; the
resolution of Endorsement was first
tabled by the resolutions committee.
and then an effort to get it out of
committee and directly before the
congress failed ingloriuosly. 1t is

WILL BE A GREAT VALLEY.

Assessor Arthur G. Mcconnell
has completed the assessment of
Long valley and Pearl and is now
at work in Idaho City and vicinity.
MIR. Mcconnell in enthusiastic over
the growth and wealth of Long val
ley. The population is now estim-
ated at 5000. About all of the land
has been taken, but only four or five
per cent of it is now under cultiva-
ton, but the cultivated areas are
gradually increasing. AS soon as
the farmers have markets for their
products all of this magnificent val
ley will be growing all kinds of
vegetables, fruits, hay and grain.
Last year the production of grain
alone was 100000 bushels. When
the Dewey road is completed to that
valley the farmers will have good
market. Mr.. Mcconnell says they
can compete with the farmers in the
irrigation districts as the freight
rates will be less than the costs of
irrigation. Townsites have been
laid out at Lardo and Roseberry
and surveyors are laying out town
lots at Crawford and Thunder City.
Lardo has three we'll stocked
stores-one very large establish
ment with fine building. That
place will have a flour mill this year.
A bank building has been con-
structed at Roseberry and a cream
cry building is nearly completed.
That town has three hotels and all
doing big business. One, two-story
owned by Parks & Culpepper, COM
pleted last spring, would be a credit
to town of 10000 population.
Mr.. Mcconnell said that no irri-
CATION is required for the grain crops
of Long valley. In fact irrigation
would ruin the crops as it has been
demonstrated that with moisture in
addition to that supplied by nature
the stalks continue to grow and the
grain does not ripen soon enough
to be safe from the fall frosts With
a railroad into Long valley it would
become one of the greatest grain
growing regions of the state.-Idaho

to places in Ohio, Indiana and parts OF
Western New York and Western Penn
svlvania will be reduced, beginning
February LIST, between IS cents n 81,
according to the specific destination OF
the purchaser Of a Southern Pacific
ticket.
These reduced rates will apply on
any main line route, either by way OF
Ogden or by way of FL Paso, but Will
only affect destinations in Ohio, lndi-
ana. Ontario and western prts of New
York and Pennsylvania.
A ticket from San Francisco to Gin
~cinnati, now $66.5O, will, after Febru-
airy LIST, be $65.5O. A second-class tick
ct for the same trip will be reduced
from $3.50 and made ST. cheaper thar
at present.
To Pittsburg from San Francisco,
now $71.90, will be $70.55, frst-class,

All these little reductions are in con-
Torrance with the readjustment OF

senger Association, an organization OF
the railroads Of the Middle West for
the adjustment Of passenger rates.
In addition to these special reduc-
tions in fares the Southern Pacific will
put into effect, February 1st, a new
and greatly augmented list of Eastern
terminals for round-trip tickets. Here
tofore it has been customary to sell
r~ound-trip tickets only to the various
large commercial centers, leaving the
traveller to pay the local rte to minor
stations after buying a %round-trip
ticket to a larger place a little farther
along the line. Previously the round
trip destination list has been printed In
q small pamphlet of six pages. But
the new list comprises ti~fty-three pages
which indicates how completely the
Eastern territory has been covered
with possible destinations for the in
tending visitor from the West. He
will have a chance to get a round-trip
railroad ticket from Oregon, California,
Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico to
almost any place he cares to reach in
tho East.

That a beer sign beckoned,
And they both stopped dead.

Spoke up the dry one
A little Winnemucca booze will tighten

But ere they parted
Each nursed a jag on profound and gay

At morn the parting,
And this thing happens most every day.

READY FOR CONFERENCE.
Holland Will Issue Formal Invitations to Peace Commission dor darad
 to Peace Meeting.


 St. Petersburg, April 3.-The nego- tiations regarding the progress for the Haugue peace conference have pract- ically been finished.
 Professor De Martens. who was de- ceived in audience by Emperor Nicho- los yesterday informed the Associated Press today that Russian explanatory note would be, made public in few days and the formal issuance of the invitations by Holland Is expected next week. Though a definite statement re- fgarding the contents of the Russian note. are not obtainable, 1t is. under stood that it win communicates to the powers the reservations by the United States and Great Britian of the right to introduce for discussion at the con ference the question of the limitation of armaments, the American reserva- tion including also a discussion of the Drago doctrine. It is intimated that Russia will not oppose the proposed discussion. -T -- e'
 March, which does not mention arma- ments, will. however, be submitted to the conference unchanged. According to Professor De Martens Russia be- lieves the time is not ripe for the diS- cussion of the question of the imita- tion of armaments. as practical results cornote be obtained, but if the United states ana 6ISAt bhitAAh aAc AS0SAesV- ly determined to bring the subject be- fore the conference, Russia is not in- clined to insist on its exclusion.

HERMANN ON THE STAND.
Land Ofice Commissioner on Trial for
 Destroying Records.

Washington. April 3.-Binger Her, mann on trial for destroying public records, testified in his own behalf to- day.
 At the suggestion of his counseL Hermann gave a brief sketch of his cereer He was born in Maryland in 1S43, went to Oregon when herwas IS: taught school and worked on a farm: studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1866. That year he was elected to the state legislature. In 1871 Pres ident Grant appointed him receiver of public money in the Rosebud land of- flee. He was elected to congress in 1884 and served twelve years until the election of Mir Mckinley as president.
 "Presidently Mckinley kindly se- lected me--or perhaps unkindly," re- marked Herman. 'as commissioner of the general land office." After leaving the land office in 1903 Herman said he had twice been elected to congress. his last term expiring March of this year. Hermann emphasized the fact that, during his public career, he took great pains to travel over his state and in these travels he made many friends These friends wrote him many letters. and he had never refused to answer a letter. As a consequence. he said. that when he went into the land office as commissioner in 1897, he was receiving 
 a day, mostly from his Oregan friends
 Hermann explained that the first day he took up his duties as commits sioner he was brought a letter book marked Private" by Mir. Hough, who had been assigned. as his stenograph- CT It was explained to him, he said, that 1t was the usual custom for the commissioner to use a private letter book for personal correspondence
 He said his personal correspondence was also increased by the fact that he had written a pamphlet describing the western boundary of the Louisiana purchase and he had sent many of these pamphlets together with "a few kindly lines,' to his friends In Oregon and the west Requests for state maps, for information regarding homestead entries and letters from persons who had contracts for surveys, Hermann said, were written to him personally, to which he replied personally. It was this character of correspondence that was copied in his private letter books. The official correspondence of the land office. Hermann explained, orig mated in the 18th division of that office where the letters were written. These letters were brought to him daily for his signature, They num- bered from 150 to $50 a day. He said | he signed these letters without read l Ing them, slhply ioohihS Ut tH' i"'ei4i9 | in the corner to see that they came l from the proper individuals in the va l rious divisions.
 During his administration in l the land office Hermann said he did not remember having looked into one | of his personal letter books. The on ! ly use they were ever put to was t6 l obtain the address of some correspon
 dent. He said about a year before his I term expired he noticed that these pri- 1 vate books were increasing on the
 shelf very rapidly and that too many | unimportant letters were being copied
