Every few days the writer, as we'll
as others, receive requests for infor-
nation concerning the Salnon River
valley, and the opportunities for in
vestment. These requests not only
require considerable OF our time TO
answer them, but they invariably ask
for printed matter Of general infor-
nation OF the country. There should
be booklet prepared outlining our
resources and what Inducements our
country offers to the new settler, and
this Is a burden which all should
bear. Every man who Is engaged In
business, every man who owns real
estate, and every man who has hnan-
cial interests In the country should
be asked to contribute toward the
preparation Of such literature. Re-
quests for this general information
will increase rapidly in the future for
the reason that outside papers are
com menting on the possibilities OF
this section securing railroad In
she near future. Idaho people in
other parts OF the state have friends

MA BRYAN's sPEECH.

Persons who heard Mr.. Bryan's
speech Tuesday night and had heard
him frequently before, said that his
speech at the banquet was the finest
they had ever heard him deliver.
All the elements OF great oratory
were blended In that address deep
Knowledge of the subjects discussed,
flashes OF wit and humor, lofty
ideals, good natured rldicule OF the
other party and frequent bursts OF
the tiuer sort of eloquence-nothlns
hysterical, nothing iloiid, but beauti'
full sentiments expressed In choice Of
English.
Hut perhaps the true greatness OF
the man was better revealed by bill
broad and generous utterances ap
proving many Of the acts and utter
ances OF President Roosevelt. Her,
was man who was twice defeated
for the presidency; whose LEADERSHIP
was rejected at the last national con
yention Of his party, who has beef
abused and villiied, as probably n
other American since Lincoln, an,
yet he spoke. without bitterness
spoke indeed with tine exhibition
OF good humor and kindly feelin
and gave a speech which was char
aeterlxed rather more by praise @
the leader OF the republican part
than by criticism OF that party.
No wonder MIR, Bryan retains hi
grip on the affections of the demo
cratic masses and the respect of tn
great body OF American citizenship
His superb courage, his undoupte
; sincerity and his broad aud kind
sympathles endear him To millions {
, all parties.
1t is the good fortune of the matte

The fairest objection which may be
urged to the bin Is that, under pres
ent conditions, 1t IL large remedy
for comparatively small evil. That
Is to say, child labor has not yet be-
come serious factor in our life, as
compared with conditions In some OF
the older manufacturing and mining
states. but the advocates OF the
measure are resting upon the wisdom
Of the proverb that ian ounce OF pre-
vention Is worth pound OF cure. =
They are proposing to prevent the In
ception OF an evil which, once fasten-
ed upon us, would be as diliicult to
cure In our case as In the cases OF 9TH
or communities seriously affected
with the disease.
There Is sound reasoning In this
contention. If we do not want this
evil TO enter our life, then why not
apply correctiyes at the first promo
milton? That viii forestall grave diff
ticulties that would certainly arise IL

them would no doubt look after the
interests of the county TO the best OF
their ability.
Senator Macbeth, Of Custer county,
is making it interesting for the GOOD
ing machine. 1t was whispered
around the state house that the state
was badly involved. Macbeth intro
duced resolution in the senate de-
handing that the auditor OF state
be asked for statement OF the defc-
iency warrants. A statement was
forthcoming which showed that de-
fcjency warrants reached the neat
little sum OF one hundred thousand
dollars. Again Macbeth demanded
that statement be furnished show
ing what those warrants were issueo
for. or course the machine members
of the senate proposed to protect their
masters, and the result was the reso-
luton was voted down. Both the SEN
ate and house are disposed to try to
curtail expenses this session, giving
as a reason that the state Is bankrupt.
~
It will be remembered that Govern
or Gooding made such beautliul
showing when he made his speech
here last fall, that he left the impress
sion that the state was not only out
of debt, but that every department
had cleared up neat little sum as
result of the 'business administra
tom. At the time many could moi
help but feel that the governors
!, statements sounded little fishy. -
far from having a surplus, as we wer'
lead to believe from Gooding's speech
, the z. o. p. now acknowledges tina

, fact that the auditor of state refus

looks as If there was an Ethiopian o

of the people at least, If it was show

Salmon people may expect the
greatest boom in the development OF
orr resources and the erection OF
buildings during the next year ever
experienced before. During the past
year building has been greatly retard-
ed on account of being unable to Sc
cure building material, especially
structural steel and brick. These
difficulties have been largely overcome
and it is safe to expect that building
operations will commence as soon as
. spring opens up, on three or four large
business blocks. We also predict that
b there will be a large number OF resi-
; dences built during the coming sum-
mer or else it will be the lot OF many

Paullina, Feb. 20.--Word was sent
to DR.. H. Scott, residing at Paullina,
who is coroner of O'Brien county. that
a stranger was found hanging dead in
the barn of Mr.. Otto Peters, farmer
residing about seven miles southeast
of Paullina. Dr. Scott, after securing
the services Of an officer, drove out to
the Peters home and found the dead
. body Of Hugo Voss hanging by the neck
suspended by rope.
The coroner proceeded to make an
investigation, which developed the fol-
lowing facts: The man Voss APP
fall, and was around the streets. and
also working on farms in the neigh
borhood at times and as he was look
ing for work last Saturday, Mr.. Peters
engaged him to work by the month.
Voss stayed at the Peters home on
Saturday evening had breakfast Sum
day morning but disappeared shortly
after breakfast, and the family think
ing he perhaps was sleeping in the
barn. or had gone walking, paid no at
tention to him until the next meal
was served, when he was called for
around the barn, but gave no answer.
The family, in the meantime conclud-
ing that he must have acted the mi
gratory bum," paid no further attention
to looking for voss until late evening.
Sunday, when. after a. thorough search,
1t was given up and decided that Voss
was surely gone.
The following day the usual work
went on in and around the barn, until

Mr. voss was about 30 years Of age,
