1t may be surmised that the
people OF Goldfeld, Governor
Sparks and the mine owners of
that famous camp did not have
a very merry Christmas down
there, with the president order
ind the U. S. soldiers returned to
the Preside and reading the
governor a lecture straight from
the shoulder for having misrep-
resented the situation when he
requested them there, the sheriff
of the county claiming they we're
not needed. The fact of it is,
there is an ugly condition OF af-
fairs in southern Nevada camps,
with the w. f. M. striving on
one hand to maintain control
and the mine owners, on the other
hand attempting to run them
out, and the governor is evident
ly standing in With the mine
owners. Both parties are in the
wrong, and the president intent
on having peace maintained or
dered soldiers sent there, and fin
ally ordered them away again.
The end is not yet and it may be
necessary for Governor Sparks
to call Diamond-feld Jack and a
lot Of other high toned citizens
to stand off the w. F. M. and
their turbulent friends or we will
hear Of a condition down there,
worse than existed in the Couer
d'Alenes some years since.

The Mampa LEADER Herald
came out with a fine number last
week, descriptive of and boom
ing the industries of the Junct-
ion City. Well, Nampa deserves
it. 1t is not SO many years
since Nampa was merely rail
road station and a water tank.
One mans foresight conceived
and planned the connection of
Boise with the Oregon Short
Line at that point by a railroad.
1t was done and the station had
town begin to grow up around
it. Later, new blood infused
greater life into the place. Wat
err was brought onto the arid
lands; the Idaho & Northern
railroad was constructed; the
Dewey Pal ice hotel built aud the
town began to assume the airs
Of busy young city. Look at
it now, with its big sugar factory,
sawmill, brewery and many 9th
er minor industries, fine stores,
hotels, etc., and two electric troll
ley lines soon to occupy its prin-
cipal streets, and one of the gov
ernment's greatest reclamation
enterprises soon to make all the
surrounding country a region of
happy, rural homes, ranches,
gardens and orchards. What a
prolific country that Boise Val
ley, including all the territory be-
tween Snake river and the foot
hills north of Boise will be in a
few years moreI And Nampa
will be in the very heart of it all.

MORE RECLAMATION IN
OWYHEE.

A Kansas City capitalist who
has been spending some months
in Idaho, looking for opportuni-
ties for investments it is said will
undertake to revive and reincor-
perate the old project OF trying
to reclaim the lands located in
the north eastern portion OF this
county, bordering on Snake riv-
er and extending down the river
from about opposite Glenns Fer
ry nearly to Bruneau valley. 1t
is claimed that there are from
$4,000 to 10000 acres OF as fine
sagebrush lands in this corner of
Owyhee as are to be found any
where, and several years since a
company undertook to get wat
er on these lands by taking it
out of the Malad river, bringing
it down nearly to Glenns Ferry
and then across the Snake by sy-
phon and down this side by ditch
and fume, to the lands to be re-
claimed. After expanding a con
siderable amount of money on
the undertaking, the company
found it too big for its means
and it has since benin allegiance,
with debts hanging over it. We
are glad to learn that new par
ties will now take hold Of it and
assert that they will carry it to
completion. 1t will add a good
many thousand acres to the area
OF the finest fruit aud sugar beet
lands in Southern Idaho.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1907.

The first bill introduced in con-
gress by Senator Borah, after pass
ing the senate was lost in the
lower house, and we are glad of it..
1t was a bill to relieve miners from
doing assessment work on their
claims for the present year. There
was no necessity for such a meas
ure being passed; and it was offer
ed so late in the year that the more
forehanded Of the miners and pros
pectors already had this work COM
pleted before the bill was proposed,
and where one partner in claim
had done the work and other part
ners refused to contribute for their
proportion Of it, it left the in
dustrious partner without chance
to compel the Others to pay up, or
forfeit their interests to him. We
know of several instances where
the passage of this bill would have
worked exactly this way.

THIS YEAR AND NEXT IN
IDAHO.

the harness for another years busy
work. If Idaho can advance as
rapidly in material prosperity dur
ing the coming as it has during the
year just going out we should all
be happy. just look over the state
and note what has been going on
during the year now passingl More
acres of land have been reclaimed
from the desert, and more homes
established than in any other year
of her history. Empire builders
have been busy all over the state
as well as Throughout the west, All
of the stock growing interests have
been in prosperous condition; the
mining industry has made steady
progress. A bumper crop has been
harvested and stored by our farm
ers or sold at remunerative prices.
There is spirit of courage and
faith in the future noticeable every
W here. In our own Owyhee the rep
utation of being the greatest G Id
producing county in the state has
been maintained, and new mines
have been developed, and new mills
are being built as seldom before,
showing that the development of
of our great mining industry is only
yet in its infancy and greater
things may be expected from it in
the future. And beginning has
been made at the reclamation of
Owyhee's fine agricultural and fruit
lands, A canal is being construct
ed and reservoirs are planned to
store the waste water piled up in
our mountain snowbanks and lead
it onto our great plains and make
them bloom and become beautiful
as our narrow creek valleys always
are. This much for the lands be-
tween our mountains and Snake
river, while similar projects are GO
ing on in the northwest and east
ern portions of our county. Note
the progress being made at and
around Homedale, Grand View,
Little Valley, Bruneau, and see
what is said on this page regarding
a renewal Of the project to reclaim
the fine tract of land in the ex-
IRENE eastern part of the county.
And yet Idaho has not been with
out her tribulations during the
year just closing. Just as the year
was being ushered in the trial of
a murder case with worldwide at
tention fell to her lot, and is still
engaging the attention Of her courts,
costing the state vast sum of
money.
Land grabbers had been busy in
the state, as well as elsewhere
throughout the west, and the trial
of these maruuders Of The countries
wealth have been engaging the at
tention Of the Federal courts.
Then the financial panic has dis
turbed and bindered, without
stoppage, our business or industries
Happily the worst of this is now over.
But the coming year we are to expert
ence the excitement of another nation
a campaign. What turmoils, troubles
or unfavorabe conditions it may bring
about remains to be seen.
