A Great Country.

w c. Dresser, of New Rockford,
N. D., has been in town the past
week. Mr.. Dresser is in the real
estate business III North Dakota and
was attracted to this country
through the glowing reports sent
out concerning the advantages and
unlimited possibilities of this Sec
tion. He says he was not disa-
pointed and that the facts are not
ertsated or misreprescntedi in any
detail. He has purchased land near
Mountain Home and intends to
make this conutry his future horne
as soon as his business can be SO
arranged in Dakota.
This valley has the conditions
TO make it the finest country in the
world,' he stated. Il have never
/ seen anything to compare with it in
the way of a productive soil and
ideal climate. If I should leave
Mountain Home and return in ten
years | would expect to find the
richest and most highly cultivated
farming lands in the world. |
would expect to see Mountain Home
a city of ten thousand people, farms
of forty to eighty acres with good
farm buildings, new fences, or
chards and all that the country could
posi- ibly produce to make man happy.
This is a great country and is
bound to forge to the front and fill
every expectation.
Mr.. Dres ser c m d o
b e very sincere in his
representations and the fact OF his
investments in property here eend
to strengthen the conviction that he
means what he says.

Franklin Mine in Good Condition.

r. P Chattin is in town. He is
accompanied by James l.. Hoysl, of
Spring City, Tenn, one Of his boy
hood friends. MIR. Hoysl has come
to Idaho for his heal tn, hoping to
recover here from an affliction from
which he has suffered for many
years.
The interesting statement is made
to a Statesman reporter by Mr..
Chattin that, at the Franklin mine
they are making saving of 81 per
cent of the values of the ores. The
process is a combination of amalg-
amation and cyaniding. Develop
ment work is progressing salts
factorily but they are much delayed
owing to the scarcity of miners
Though they have ample reserves OF
ore, it is difficult to keep the mill
running owing 10 their inability &c
keep enough men in the mine.

Operators on a Strike

During the past week general
walk-Out of the commercial and
press telegraph operators through
out the United States has occurred,
only the local managers and opera
tors rernaining in the various offices.
The demand of the operators is
for an eight-hoar day and an ad-
vance of about 2Olper cent, which
will mean an advance from the pre-
sent scale of SIS to sos and $11o for
chief operators.
The city press is obtaining mea-
ger reports with great difficulty.
The Evening News secured its re-
ports last Monday over the long dis
tance telephone which was most ex-
penisve and troublesome.
Many of the larger dailies are
badly crippled by the strike.
The LOCAL office has received only
dispatches connected with the trair
service since the calling of the
strike.
There is no indication of an early
settlement as we go TO press.

wonderfully fertile land, productive

only disappointment lay in the fact
that l was not the first one to dis
cover this land of sunshine as
the people there call it. | found
that some of the best lands are
owned by Seattle and Tacoma peo-
pie.

certainly picked two of the choicest
pieces of land in the whole state
and at price, including perpet-
ual water rig hit, less than water
alone would cost in this state.

RlNGLIN6' WORLDS
GREATEST SHOWS
Took $4,000 Out of Boise on Aug
uSt 18th.

wRinglings really have the rgeatest
circus and rnenagerie in the world.
1t is almost as large as any two
other shows in this country or Eur
ope. 1t takes seventy nine cars,
eight hundred and seventy horses
and one thousand and fifty people
TO conduct the business. Five
trains are necessary to carry the
show and the daily expense is about
$40, 600.
MIR. Merrill, president of the
Peoples bank, of Minneapolis, was
here last week to visit MIR. Garrett.
He conducted bank for a number
of years in Barraboo, Wis, the
nome and winter quarters of the
great show.
1t was through him that Mr.. Gar
rett met the Ringlings and is able
to give us these facts regarding the
show. Ringing Bros. first started
less than twenty years ago as a
small opera house organization.
! They are musicians themselves and
were for a number of years ever
after they started tent show, the
principal musicians and actors il
the show. They are high wire anc
trapeze performers, also bareback
riders of no mean ability. Al Ring,
ling laughingly tells how he ano
his brother made up a large band by
uniforming the stake and canva.
men of the circus and putting then
in as dummies.
During the early organization
they met with many reverses anc
even failed several times. Once, i
is told, they got into town anC
didn't have money enough to pay
their excess baggage and start the
show. They did, however, oper
the doors at the usual time and as
soon as money enough had beer
taken in one of the boys slipped tc
the depot and got the baggage anc
the show opened on time.
The Ringing Bros. are now
worth ten millions of dollars. They
own and practically control tn,
great Barnum and Forepaugh shows
one of the brothers being with eacl
OF those organizations.
! THE circus proposition is
} money maker if you have gooc

marked Ringing. "There is n
such thing as good luck. Har'

line past his property in Garden

that in order to make the complaint
good, it should specify special dam
age, special to the plaintiff and dit
ferent in kind from the damage that
might have been inflicted by a public
nuisance and different in kind from
that suffered by the general public.
Mr. Chandler also contended that
the damage alleged was purely spec

should not be given by the court for
speculative damages.

plaintiff to condemn the property
sought. and declared that the con-
tention of the defendant that the
plaintiff company is not operating I'M
der a valid franchise is not material
to the point involved or to the ac-
ton. He contended that the answer
to the complaint does not state that
the plaintiff crosses any public thor
oughfare or street by it's line of rail
road, and alleged that no franchise
is required by the railroad company
in order to give it the right to con-
struct and operate its road on private
property where no public property is
crossed. He declared that owners OF
private property cannot dictate to the
railroad company in what manner
they shall proceed to acquire the
rights to construct and operate its
lines through and across corporate
property. Mr.. Chandler declared
that the statute required the defend
ant to clearly and concisely set forth
his title to the property involved, and
he declared that it had not been
clearly shown by the defendant what
his rights were to the property The
reasonable worth of the property is
fixed at 81 1000, but the defendant
does not allege what damage has
been or will be incurred by him by
reason of the railroad line crossing
his property.

MUST SPEND BILLIONS
FOR RAIL IMPROVEMENTS
Magnate Hill Amends Former State
ment by Adding Fifty
Per Cent.

NEW YORK, Dec. flames j.
Hill caused something akin to a SEN
sation about a year ago by saying
that it would require $780, 1000
or $1,100, 100000 year for five
years to supply the railroads of this
country with facilities equal to the
demands that would be made upon
them. Hill has now amended these
figures with the statement that 1t is
the opinion of competent judges that
probably not less than fifty per cent
more money than was estimated by
him would have to be spent annually
by the railroads for the five years
to come.
Hill said that he had been led to
this impression by the difficulties at
tending the present grain movement
toward the Atlantic seaboard. He
stated that the Great Northern Rail-
way alone was moving wheat to
Duluth faster than all the great
eastern trunk lines could transport
it from Buffalo east to the coast.
Another adverse condition affecting
sending of American grain abroad,
he said, was the congestion in New
York, owing to the fact that there
were insufficient steamship facilities
to send grain shipments to Europe.
