ways to the other ore bearing agen.

The trend OF the vein is east and
west with a thirty degree dip to
the north. The ore chute is open

fifty feet and shows good values
throughout. 1t is the same vein
which traverses the Acacia B, the
adjoining property in which Mr.
Leach is also interested.

A Word to Democrats


Editor Free Press: read with
amazement the screed of Messrs.
Scales and Howe in the Free Press
last week in which they denounce
Ex-senator Dubois with not being
a democrat and charge him with
lnsincerity, hypocrisy, intolerance
and as being in politics for revenue
only.
If these wild, reckless and un-
just assertions have any foundation
in fact il is the duty of Messrs.
Scales and Howe to prove them,
since democrats Of all shades Of
opinion desire to put none but
democratic on guard. But their
mere assertions will carry no
weight with impartial people in
view Of the public record of Mr..
uBois. l have fought with him
and against him for 30 years on
variety of topics, political and
otherwise and l know him to be
an absolutely honest, incorruptible,
upright and sincere American
citizen and gentleman and fair
opponent in every controversy.
During his six years of democratic
service in the United States senate
chamber he was honored by his
democratic senatorial colleagues
(including the distinguished dem.
ocratic senators from Mr.. Scales
own state of North Carolina) with
the craftsmanship Of the democratic
steering committee, where the
policy OF the democratic party in
the senate on all public business is
framed. A member of that impor-
tant committee must necessarily
be democrat of democrats, pos
sessing the unreserved respect and
fidelity of his political associates
1t is unlikely that the distin.
guished host Of democratic sena.
torial statesmen associating on
terms of daily intimacy with Mr..
Dubois were wrong in their estima-
tion of his character and PERSONAL
ly l shall accept their positive ex-
preston Of confidence as against
the ipse dixlt of Messrs. Scales and
Howe.
admit with regret tnat in a
long life in journalism l have never
read more intolerant or vicious
mis-statement of facts than that
fathered by Messrs. Scales and
Howe. 1t can be said of Mr..
Dubois as was said of another dis
tinguished public man: "With loyal
heart and clean hands he faith.
fully fulfilled all public trusts"
There is great deal more to
the Mormon issue than the oppo
sition of the democratic party o
Idaho. 1t is an issue affecting thu
perpetuation and supremacy O
modern civilization based upor
Christianity and the doctrine o.
Monogamy, or one man and on,
wife. Two inconsistent move
ments cannot long continue side
by side. One or the other must il
the long run prevail. Either
Christianity and Monogamy will
abolish Mormonism and polygam,
or Mormonism and pologamy will
continue, as it has done in the
last fifty years, to encroach upol
Christianity and Monogamy to tn
point of extinction.
Messrs. Scales, Howe, Casad
and their associates are on tn,
wrong side of this great mora
issue, and once again | give ther
a friendly hint to take anothe
look at their hand.

Coming Meeting Of CONNER.
Cial Club.

The meeting of the commercial
club called for Monday evening
next at the court house, is OF much
more than ordinary interest to the
citizenship OF this city, for subjects
will be brought forward for discus.
sion which may vitality affect the
future growth and prosperity of
growing Grangeville.
The fact that the completion of
the long-expected railroad is look
ed for in July adds additional in
terests to the meeting, for it is
forgone conclusion that the new
system Of transportation will effect
the entire community of Idaho
county, to degree which will
amount to complete transforma-
tion in the business methods
which have prevailed in the past.
The matter Of placing the main
roads leading to the city in q state
of permanent repair 80 that
wheat and other products may be
hauled to the railroad depot here, is
q serious one which should be irst
and formost in the minds of all
business men having a permanent
interest in promoting the growth
and commercial interests OF the
city.
We have the banks, the stores
the countyseat and all other things
which go to build up a commercial
center here; but the mere possess
sion of all these things will avail
nothing in promoting the business
interests without good roads to
bring to the city the products Of
field, farm, garden, and orchard
to say uothing of the producer
thereof with the proceeds in his
pockets which he is anxious to
d;sburse amoung the various bust
ness establishments.
Make the town accessible from
all directions and the business
will naturally follow With the
anticipated early completion Of the
railroad, we shall be confronted
with new conditions which must
be met and adapted with as little
friction as possible.
Improve "Cran9eville"
G. D. McClain and wife of
Kelley, Wn., arrived here last
week and may decide to make it
their home. Mr.. McClain is the
new owner of the "Grangeville"
hotel and will make a number of
improvements upon the building.
Inside toilets will be put in, the
front repainted, building re-roofed
and the attic fitted up and ad-
ditional rooms provided. 1t is
also intened to make some changes
in the interior. He is we'll pleased
with the city and sees no reason
why it should not have a brillian,
uture.
