Warrenton Record.


The following article taken from a
recent issue OF the Philadelphia Press,
Republican, is of interest in showing
the era of good feeling now abroad in
the land. The clipping was handed
us by our friend Mr.. Sol. B. Williams
who in looking over the paper noticed
the article printed below:
Time is gradually effacing the bit
terness that the people in the North
felt toward the South and particu-
larly their leaders and is bringing MS
to view these times and these leaders
from the broader standpoint, giving
them full credit for the high attain
ments that they possessed and look
ing less narrowly upon what we con-
slider their failing.
From whatever side individuals
may Judge Jefferson Davis, the man
and the statesman, the fairminded
opponent OF the President of the
Confederate States must credit him
with having been a man of brilliant
attainments, of broad education, OF
fine literary style and polished
speaker. These combined to give
him command of ii choice and fluent
diction.
! Noone can read his speech OH with
drawing from the Senate without
recognizing i'll it u fine effort under
such circumstances. The 21st OF
January, 1861, was marked by II
scene described as 1.-The most impress
sive and solemn in the annals of the
United States of America" 1t was
the withdrawal from the Senate of
the Senators from the Southern
States which had seeded from the
Union. After several had made brief
farewell addresses, Jefferson Davis
arose. His health had not been good
but there was no sign of weakness
or undue agitation in his manner.
He considered that the principle for
which he had long conterded was
about to be established and he was
ready, as the lifelong advocate OF
States rights, to make any sacrifice,
bear any burden for the sake of that
principle. His speech of farewell was
admirable, neither apologetic nor
aggressive, but couched throughout
in u strain of dignity and solemnity
He calmly defended the position as
sumed by the State which he repre-
sented and commended her for the
course which she had chosen to pur-
sue. After having delivered this ad-
dress he left the Senate never more
to return.
Brief extracts from this speech
which was short, are as follows: at
has been a conviction OF pressing ne
cessity. it has been belief that We
are to he deprived of the rights which
our fathers bequeathed to US, which
has brought Mississippi into her
present decision. Senators, We recur
to the compact which binds us to.
gether; we recur to the principles
upon which our Government was
founded. and when you deny them
and when you deny to us the right to
withdraw from Government which
threatens to be destructive OF our
rights. we but tread in the path oI
our fathers when we proclaim our in
dependence and take the hazard
This is done, not in hostility to
others, not to injure any section ol
the country, not even for our own
pecuniary benefit, but from the high
and solemn motive of defending and
protecting the rights we inherit and
which it is our sacred duty to trans.
NIT unshorn to our children"

Making Good Times.

There is talk OF good times and re-
turning prosperity, but the coming
of these will be largely with the peo-
ole themselves. II everybody coin
plains and talks hard times il is easy
to make conditions that way. while
if all will talk the other way and try
to make times better, they will find
that not hard to do. Quit complain
ing, be cheerful, and do your best.

Annual Fat and Lean Game.

If this beastly cool weather warns
up sufficiently within the next two
weeks to permit the Sims to get the
kinks out of their muscles, the an
nual Fat and Lean game will occur.
The proceeds will go to the band to
help pay for new uniforms. Harry
Shropshire is diligently coaching his
obese braves in the fine points of the
national game, and Ben Turner has
selected choice bunch of skin and

KAR SELLS BUSINESS.
Disposes of Stock and Build
ing to E. E. Hunt.

c. P. Kar & Co., on Monday
sold his furniture stock and store
building to E. E. Hunt. The
stock was later bought by c. D.
Bucknum, who will move it to his
store rooms. When vacated tho
building will be used by Mr.. Hunt
for his clothing and dry gods de-
partments. The consideration is

be remodeled and the two store
rooms connected by archways. The
grocery stock will remain where it
is and the dry goods, clothing and
shoes will be displayed in the new
building.

and to his many friends.

DENIES R. R. EXTENSION
"Only Establishing New
Grade" Says Dewey.

E. H. Dewey, president of the
Idaho Northern, emphatically
denies that the Idaho Northern
will be extended at this time. but
states that survey being made now
is for the purpose of being prepar-
ed to extend 'when conditions are
right
To the Nampa Record Mr.. Dewey
gives out the following: "Mr.
Dewey was seen by the Record man
relative to the work that is being
done up there and he states that
the surveying party that is in the
field is to survey a line of his road
around the section at the place
where the government dam is to be
built so that his right of way will
be approved. The government will
not approve it as it is because the
water of the dam will back on it.
When the survey shall have been
completed that far the party will
continue up the river as is explain
ed in the Emmett paper. but Mr..
Dewey says that the survey is to be
made in order to secure and to hold
the hight of way on up the river.
The additional surveying is being
done to keep pace with the other
activity that is shown in the matter
of securing rights of way in the
state. On account of the activity
shown by railroad companies in
securing rights of way he does not
aim to be defeated in any future
activity that he may want to put
on by losing the right.
"On account of thesurvev good
deal is required in the way Of sup
plies hence the provisions that are
being sent. The ties that have
been ordered are for the regular
yearly requirement of the road for
repairs. They have been purchas-
ed form Oregon timber firms but
were bought from McNish this
year.
''Mr. Dewey SAYS that he intends
to extend the road some time into
the territory on up the river and
aims to control the right of way to
make the extension when the time
comes but that the present move
ments are not for the purpose of
immediate extension. -

The city council meeting Tues.
day night accepted the report Of
City Engineer Wilkie on the grade
of Main street and authorized the
mayor to issue proclamation nam
ing Friday. May 81, as "clean up
day." which is published below.
The adoption of the city engineers S
grade report created considerable
excitement, as the block on the
north side of Main. between Wash
ington and Hayes was found to
be from 7 to IL feet too high, 1eav-
ing Finley Monroe's building IL
feet above the sidewalk and the
buildings east of it in a cores

Surveyors in the Field

Monday morning, large crew
of surveyors and engineers arrived
from Nampa and at once began
work setting stakes for the new
right Of way. The river will be
crossed between town and Fuller's S
island. but the location has not yet
been decided upon. One survey
made crosses directly north of
town. As the government dam at
Black canyon will create an inn
mense lake in the valley form the
canyon to Marsh, the old right of
way, as Mr.. Dewey states, must
be abandond for one along the hills.
Present indications are that the
survey will run north of Plow-
mans, where a station will be To-
Gated, thence following the river
to the Idaho Oregon company's
power station, from which point
for several miles road bed has al
ready been graded. At Horseshoe
Bend the survey will pass through
the old rownsite, leaving the new
town nearly mile distant. 1t is
reported that land has been pur-
chased for a townsite I'VE miles
above the Bend.

A HARD FOUGHT GAME.
Emmett Drops 3 to 0 Game
to Caldwell

Opportune hitting on the part of
Caldwell, and Emmett's unlucky
batting, gave Sundays game to
Walt Sebree's white suited old
stagers.
1t was a pitchers contest, in
which Mike Maloney carried off the
honors, with total of Is strikeouts.
Buckles, the big south paw from the
county seat was given credit for
nine. Ely, the "one-armed wonder"
was easily the star of the game, and
in the sixth inning. with one man on
second, drove a liner through the
barb wire fence over left field and
tailed the first home run in several
years. A row of goose eggs adorn-
ed the score card on both sides up to
the fifth, when Kelleher made the
circuit. The following netted two
more. Twice-in the second and
third inning s-the Peacheaters had
men on third, but pop up flies that
fell into capacious mitts nipped in
the bud any farther progress.
