A mining man from across the divide said this week that last winter he bought potatoes raised at Hot Springs simply because they were far superior to those that had been shipped in from potatoes had been sent into this country thus served to advertise the really ex- cellent quality of the homegrown arti- cle. With the energy with which F. c. Manley is clearing land at Hot Springs the income from his crops in 1898 will undoubtedly be enormous Two years ago few believed really good potatoes could be produced there.

THE HAYWOOD TRIAL.

In summing up the pros and cons of the evidence in the case of Hay wood in the trial now proceeding at Boise, an editorial in the Fairbanks Times of June 2S concludes:
 "Whatever the real facts of the case may be, it now seems to be pretty safe guess that his Orchards story will be sufficiently discredted to create the reasonable doubt in the minds of the jury which is sufficient for an acquittal. :"
 In our opinion, if the jury does acquit Haywood it will remove all reasonable belief in his guilt and establish his in nocence unquestionably It is wrong to imply that public opinion would regard him with suspicion regardless of vindi- cation by jury-more especially since the environment of the trial is notori- ously hostile to the accused mans class, the prosecution has had every opportu- nitv to establish the facts, and has even bought the knowledge gained by a de- tective employed and trusted by the defense
 Haywood may not be acquitted; but if he is the verdict will be accepted as the truth.
