Decoration ray.

Tomorrow is the day set apart when
we OF the northland strew with flowers
the graves of the boys who fought in
the war of 81. They were boys then,
but the remnant that is left are old
men now. AS the years go by the
great reaper is at work in the ranks of
the boys in blue, and he is garnering
them in faster than did the shot and
shell from the opposing army. Some
of the Grand Army posts now can
scarcely muster enough members to OBJ
serve Memorial day, and cases are rare
where the old vets march to the graves
to the music of fife and drum. The fife
and drumi 1t seems but yesterday that
decoration day occupied a place in the
boys mind along with the Fourth of
July. Then speakers stands were
erected, the flag was flung to the breeze
and there was stirring martial music
from morning until night. Now the
day is like as a funeral The heroes are
fast joining the army that is marching
with noiseless tread beyond the grave.
Only few years more and the great
war will be written only in our stored
past.

The American Protective Tariff
League is long on fattery. They are
sending out to the press circulars solicit
ing editorial opinion on various schedules
of the tariff bill, and, as a greater in
ducement to move the editorial mind.
the men of the press are urged to come
to Washington and personally present
their views. The League has evidently
been switched on the wrong wire. It
is the paper trust and steel trust it
wants. 1t is customary for those con-
Germs to have Hobbies in Washington,
but whoever heard Of an editor who had
become SO dirty rich that he had to
watch congress for fear legislation
would be enacted through which he
would be reduced to the ranks Of an
honest citizen.

Make County Known.

The commercial club of Grangeville
is at work on pamphlet the purpose of
which is to set forth the advantages of
Idaho county to investors and home
seekers. Every town in the county is
to receive attention, and particular
stress is to be laid upon the induce
ments offered to capital in developing
the natural resources, in timber, mineral
and water power. This is an opportune
time for Idaho county to sing its own
praises to the outside world. Hereto
fore it has occupied an -of-the-way
place to the busy, hurrying race. Only
those immigrants that make up the
swirl from the great overland stream of
home-seekers have settled in central
Idaho up to this time. Competing rail-
ways near by and other roads soon to be
built will show up Idaho county to
people in the crowded sections of coun-
try who are looking for opportunities
that are offered here. The club at
Grangeville will do a great good to the
members who compose it, at the same
time being great aid to those who will
take advantage Of the opportunities
that Idaho county has to offer.

Good Intentions''a Substitute
for Assessment Work.

A judge Of the district court in Ne
vada has made a ruling in which he
establishes good intentions" as the
prime requisite in performing the an
nual assessment work on mining claims.
If ever it is justifiable to construe the
law to fit the case, we believe that it is
when the prospector runs up against
some Of the technical points, but if the
Nevada judge We're allowed to have his
way we fear that many big mines yet
to be discovered would remain hidden
through good intentions" The owner
Of the mine in Nevada, it is clearly
shown, aimed to meet every require
ment Of the law relating TO annual as
sessments. He contracted with other
parties 10 do the work, paying them the
500 required 10 be expended on each
claim.
III good intentions" We're the only
necessary appliance would Il be as easy
for the owner of the claim 10 DO bis
own work and prove that the law had
been satisfied Good Intentions"
could be made elastic enough 10 suit
any convenience. Adjoining claim
owners Going thelr own work might ex-
change sums Of money 30 cover assess
mept each do the others work, AZ.

Mining News has received a copy of
'Some Central Idaho Gold Districts, ="
by S. P. Jellum, E. M, of Spokane.
The booklet is 10 by inches and con-
tains 100 pages of views and descriptive
articles of mining properties in the
Idaho mineral region. A great number
of the advertisers refer to the central
Idaho districts as The Goldfelds of
Idaho" and that's hitting it about
right. We judge that Mr.. Jellum found
the prospectors and property owners of
central Idaho a generous lot of men.

moving only few shovels of dirt.
There are many abuses that result
from constituting the law to fit individ-
ual cases, and in mining the benefits
gained in this way usually are on the
side of the nonresident owner. The
annual assessment is none too high
now, and with good intention" to fall
back on it might in time be possible for
non-residents to hold mineral ground
and never do lick toward disclosing
the hidden wealth of district. But
the prudent man who will not care to
get into devious ways that might force
him to seek shelter in ''good intentions"
will take pains that his property assess
ment is done in manner to meet the
requirements of the law.

Old Prospectors Getting Back
in Time.

IN lime.
A number Of old-time prospectors
of central Idaho who were attracted by
the glitter Of gold in Nevada, Utah,
Alaska and other far-of places, didn t
find fortune or comfort in living as
easy as they thought they would, and
this spring finds them drifting back to
their first love, where mineral is easy
found, where there is no disease and is
a living for everybody, and where there
is wood and water IN abundance, for
mining and all other purposes. This
same unrest is evident in all walks in
life. 1t always is better walking on
the other side until we get over there.
The prospector is human the same as
the rest Of mankind
These travellers from home appear TO
have returned just the right time.
