Elk City mining news. (Elk City, Idaho) 1903-1913, 1907-08-31

DEAR SIR:-The editor of Mining
News was informed before the Free
Press arrived that the paper contained
an article from you, directed to this
paper, bearing on the article you men
ton. We were surprised to hear that
you had taken exception to what was
said in the article, which was reply to
"well known mining man, to state
ments made in Sites Herald. After
reading your article carefully in an en-
deavor to discover "theSburr under the
saddle" our surprise at your article has
been greater because of the many
statements in which we heartily concur.
1t is only by elimination that the point
on which we disagree can be clearly
pointed out:
You believe in the policy to Give and
let live" And so do we.
You believe the building of roads in
the county is good thing, in which all
should cooperate and give their best
efforts. And so do we and have said so.
You believe the Good Road League of
Elk City and the town generally did the
right thing in its aid for the good road.
And so do we, and have said so.
You believe Sites donated to the ex-
tent of its means for the new road, and
that it should receive credit for so do
ing. We believe the same, and have
said so. (Refer you to that column of
howl")
You believe Grangeville donated lib
orally for the improvement of the road
And so doswe, and have said so. (See
last issue of Mining News.)
You believe all the mining camps do
mated literally to the good road fund
and should receive credit for so doing.
The writer, secretary of the local league,
knows what companies have contributed
and credit has been placed where credit
belongs. (Your company, Mr.. Parsons,
is in the credited list
You believe Grangeville, being cen
i trally located, is called upon for numer-
GUS donation, and that is does well to
all that have merit. We believe that,
and have said so.
You will perceive, Mr.. Parsons, that
nearly all the points in your scoldine
are agreed to. but the burr, I'VE think,
is still there the only excuse for your
article to the Free Press. In our edi-
torial, "Information's Devious Ways, =
this was said: "Get-together and com
mercial clubs were communicated with
but, in most cases, the effort was lost
It appears they don't get together any
more, or else it would take search
warrant to find out their purpose"
We admit, Mr.. Parsons, that that ex
preston is truth, without diplomacy
Now, please bear in mind, too, that tn.

We understand that one or |
two individuals have been great
" elated over the fact that the
senate failed TO confirm the pre-
sident's appointment Of post
master at Milbank before con-
gress adjourned. The facts are
that owing to the fillibustering
tactics the democratic senators
pursued in order to defeat the
ship subsidy bill, no opportunity
for an executive session was
given, and the presidential zap
pointments awaiting confirma-
ton to the mum Der of about 100,
had to be laid over The appoint
men:s we're for postmasters in
all parts of the country, and as
the parties holding the positions
are retained therein until their
successors are appoint i and
confirmed, the present C( ), 'ant
of the postoffice can 4 ely
await the converting of the next
congress, when his confir ma
tion by the senate will be made.
While speaking of this post
Office matter the writer wishes
to say that he fully appreciates
the splendid endorsement which
his petition for reappointment
received from the business inter-
ests of Milbank. The petition
bears the signature of practical
,, ly every business house and pro.
fessional man in the city, with
the exception of one saloon-keep-
er and q firm of lawyers. The
subscriber can truthfully say
that he would much rather have
this endorsement from the peO-
pile with whom he has lived and
by whom he is known, than to be
made post master of New York
City and lack the respect Of his
fellow men. And he can also
truthfully say that he would pre-.
fer to lose the Office rather tn; n
secure it as gift and be under
obligation to one who is known
by the people with whom he is
surrounded as moral and politi

attack of blizzard-itis Wednes-

A mother with baby in her arms
and two little ones walking by her
side were going up and down the
street, evidently looking for some one
They looked 90 tired. The weather
was far from pleas ant-as it had beer
raining all day. The mother and
children had made the rounds OF the
street and when looking into one OF
the saloons . little boy cried out

mother and children fled into the bar
room and after pleading with the
father, he came out with them and all
started for home.
