State Treasurer Hastings has just
prepared a statement showing that at
the present time there is on deposite
in the various banks Of state money.
in the aggregate over $500, 900. The
amount on deposite and earning in
terest is now the largest since the
state depository law was enacted, al
though there have been few times 10
the past when the state treasury had
more money on hand.
A Boise dispatch concerning the
Bonner county bill states there de-
veloped an objection to the name,
based on the fact that the objectors
feel that an attempt should be made
to perpstuate the musical Indian
names. Among other proposals is one
to change the name OF the present
Kootenai county to COenr d'Alene
and then name the new county to b.
created, Kootenai.

The Woodpile.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 16- Con-
gresham French made speech in
the House OF Representatives a few
days ago, In which he uttered strong
appeal for liberal appropriation for
the improvement of the Columbia
and Snake rivers SO as to provide
water transportation from the heart
of the great 'Inland Empire" to the
coast. "We want the Celello project
completed" he said, land IL will re-
quire little more than So, 500. .0o0."
lie added: "We then want obstruc-
tions in the upper Columbia river and
the Snake river removed"
Mr.. French asserted that river
transportation would reduce railroad
freight rates, which. he pointed out.
are much too high in northern Idaho.
He called attention tn the fact that
the Inland Empire is distant from
our nearest coast market from 200 to
700 miles. The railroads charge to
cents per bushel per 100 miles for
carrying grain, while river rates on
the Mississippi between ST. Louis and
New Orleans are less than cent.
We ship 100000 bushels of wheat
to the coast every year and If water.

| Senator Hepburn discovered q
"nlgger in the woodple" during the
consideration Of the army appropria
tion bill. An innocent looking
sentence which would have made in
effective clause in the interstat,
/ commerce law prohibiting free passes
had crept in and had been overlooked
| by others; but 1t did not escape tn
vigilant eye of Senator Hepburn, and
after three days discussion, it wa
eliminated.

Fred Holcomb Talks of Cuba

Mr.. Fred Holcomb who is
recently home from Cuba, and
who with Michael Quinn and
Peter Duhamel Of this city are
the owners Of 22OO acres of land
on the Island, was cornered the
other day by the Union aud
unveigled into saying some
thing about that little cube of
land over across from Key
West. 81 do not hesitate in
saying to you, ''said Mr.. Hol-
comb that the island of Cuba,
is the finest little spot on the
earth. | do not say this because
of my interests there. Think
Of a country where winters and
torrld summers are both un-
known. The climate is de-
l1ghtfully tempered the year
through. Think of a country
absolutely fly-less. There are
no flies in OF on Cuba in any
sense. The soilY That is a lich
black loan. They raise three
crops a year of almost any kind
of grain or vegetables each
year. They raise three crops of
corn for instance that Yields 80
bushels per acre, per crop, and
everything else in proportion.
An acre of Cuba soil intelli-
gently planted to tobacco
(under cover) nets from $4,000
to $4,000. The raising of pine
apples is also a money making
proposition, but these are also
raised under mnslin covers. 1
should judge that the popula-
ton is fully one-fourth Ameri-
can and almost every day brings
a shipload. There is one col
ony of farmers near our land
that are all from Illinois, and
they are all raising corn and
making money, and their land
that was bought for $3.50 per
acre has advanced and could
be sold for the three times that
now. In the cities the stores
have no windows. During
business hours the entire front

have accepted invitations to

assure us that they will all come
with strong delegations, and
that they will come as organi-

escort of capitalists seeking in

shey all expect to have good

not SO much out for a good

to look upon the map to know
