TELL THE TRUTH.

Mountain Home is the only point
to start for Jorbidge, according to
Mountain Home. The same may be
said of Twin Falls. Bull and other
points, but the real fact seems to be
that the Nampa-Murphy route is by
far the best of any of them.-Nampa
Leader-Herald.
The editor of the Herald will do
well to remember two very essential
things in the editing of a paper.
First, the editor should be conversant
with the subject he discusses, to the
end that he may, at all times, be
truthful, and, second, he should leave
lying statements to the press dis
patch artist.
We would not have mentioned
these facts had it not been that the
Leader Herald man chooses to ring
in" the name of Mountain Home and
its claims to recognition as the most
direct and most feasible route int
the new mining camp at Jorbidge.
The editor of the Herald knows that
the claims of this city are justly
founc ed. else he is densely ignorar
of the facts. Any of the reputable,
old-time sheep, cattle or mining men
will so inform him.
We are more than willing to in
form the inquiring Individual that it
is much nearer and better for him to
travel to Jorbidge by way of Nampa
if he be from the west, than via Twin
Falls or Bull, but we seriously OBJ
ject to the Herald. or any other paper
for that matter making it a point tc
disparage the Mountain Home route
which they know is the nearest, most
practicable and the only all-the-year.

LOST MONEY.

J. G. Coleman of Weiesr arrived

of supplies to comfort his necessities
at Jorbi1ge. He took occasion 80

the hardware stock of John w. Nor

only have saved the money he had
spent for freight on his car of goods
from Weiser to Mountain Home, but
he could have saved a good many
dollars by Quitting here on the first
cost Of his goods. AS an illustration,
he could have saved $40 on his wagon
alone.

can desire. Mr.. Morton buys his goods

tentiOn is quite evidently honest and
no bull-cOn is peddled, which latter
has characterized everything sent out
from Twin Falls. One thing the
Mountain Home folks says is, that the
district is covered with four feet Of
snow and that no progress in mining
can be made until the snow disap-
pears. Another thing is that hay and
grain cannot be bought in the vicinity
of Jarbidge at any price, for the rea-
son that, owing to severity cold wea-
Their and heavy SHOWS. ranchers have
fed all they had or could buy to their
stock to keep it alive. OF course
this scrap between T. w. and NJ. H.
is of no especial interest to the peo-
pie in Nevada, who will go in by
Elko, the nearest and best route"
The gentleman is wrong in two
instances, however. T. w. and NJ. H.
have no scrap on hand, nor have
they had one; and Elko is not the
best route" 1t may be that people
can get in from that good Nevada
town when the weather clears, but
just now they are forced to send out
search and relief expeditions on the
trail of those prospectors who have
the hardihood to tackle the PROPOSE

aIARnIpcEr THE pRopER VA.

A Jarbidge correspondent in the
Elmore Republican says that Jar
bidge is the way to spell the name
of the new mining camp. The camp .
has agreed to spell it that way, and I
the pOstOffice is to be spelled that .
way. Consequently innovators who
want to spell it "Jorbidge" can do
so, and if they want to spell it wrong
ly, no one has any particular objec-
ton. All the newspapers use the
"Jarbidge" style.-Wood River News
Mines.
Both the Mine and the cores
pendent are right-nit.
Not a soul living knows just how
the U. S. government will spell the
name when the postoffice is located,
and 'the camp" has not agreed TO
spell it "Jarbidge," as We know from
many Of the 'locaters" there, who
are making more or less frequent
visits to this city. They register
from "Jorbidge," and they are prob
ably as well posted as anyone.
First of all, the name was spelt 10
COR az obridge" and later simplified
to Jo(or a)rbidge,' and truth is, we
are not certain which is right 1t is
not, however. a killing matter, and
we spell it with the 20" simply be-
cause we started that way and see no
reason for making the change.
Years ago, when none but Indians,
cowboys and wild varments roamed
in that section, the valley by the base
of Bruneau mountain was called The
Jorb" The pass. or low part Of the
rim-rock, or ridge, where the stock
made the crossing from the lower val
ley into Nevada, was called The
Rorb Ridge" From this it would
seem that the proper eff there is any,
spelling of the name must be, as at
first. "Jorbridge." The stickers for
the correct will, therefore and here
upon, take notice and, as for our
selves. we will continue to spell it
as heretofore, until the government
names the postofice. Then we viii
spell it right if we can catch it in
the proof

And, another guessi" The fol-
lowing from Bull is the true condi-
ton of the Twin Falls traveller IN
most every instance during anything
but the finest weather, and the editor
of the Times knows it to be fact;
BULL. Feb. ga report reached
Bull this evening that considerable
excitement has been aroused in camp
due to the fact that one of the stage
lines in Twin Falls is advertising that
they go to Rim Rock in one day and
utterly fail to make good. One party

had become of his baggage He said;
Il left Twin Falls over a week
ago and when left that place ! was
assured that my baggage and ] would
be at Rim Rock the same evening.
Instead, it took us three days to get
there, and my baggage has not ar
rived yet. This is not only my ex-
perience. but il is that of a consid-
cradle number of others coming out
by way of Twin Falls. When / left

place within a day after leaving and
then to have to wait another week
for baggage.

all sufficient for people and editors

REAL RELIGION.

Is il true. as has been claimed not
infrequently, that artists are devoid
of real religion-that they find their
inspiration in the eXternals of Nature
ana not i'm the deeper significance of
her manifestations?
August Rodin. the French sculptor.

of religion This was his reply:
THAT depends upon what you
mean by a religious man. If you
mean a man bound to certain prac-
tices. bowling down TO certain dogmas.
thin / am not at all religious. But
to my mind religion is something
altogether different from numb
ling a creed. 1t is a consciousness Of
the unexplained and the inexpicable
an alteration of the unknown force
that maintains the various types Of
living creatures, suspicion of a
natural world beyonS the reach of
our senses, of the whole vast domain
that neither the eyes of the boiy nor
those of the mind are capable of
seeing; il is the upleaping of our
consciousness toward the infinite.
toward eternity, toward limitless
truth and lOve-promises that may
be illusory, but nevertheless give
wings TO the soul in this life. In that
sense I am religious.
True artists are the mots religi-

their spiritual content. The artist.

total truth of Nature; not merely the
truth of its exterior. but also and
particularly that of its inner self

The religion of every man is
within him. and there is no degree
of difference in the quality of true
religion. He who scrupulously ad-
hears TO a Pagan faith is every whit
as religious as he of the Orthodox
Christian faith. But, should the ques-
ton be Which is the most beauti-
full, most satisfying religion?" then
might the answer come. THAT of the
true artist" But the true artist"
does not, necessarily. paint pictures
on canvas or carve images Of stone.
To him whose paintings and sculp-
ture are the result of Natures touch

the pure and noble mind, must needs

~ANoTHER GUESS

One of the biggest jokes with re-

in the last weeks issue of the Noun
tain Home Maverick as an editorial,
in which Talbot says It was rumored
that Bourne sat down hard upon
members of the Twin Falls CONNER

We stated a truth in saying that
Mr. Bourne had taken occasion to
call the Twin Falls boosters down for
the publication Of lying reports re-
garding Jorbidge, and that he did
this at meeting of the Commercial
club of that city. This we can prove.
AS to another guessi Mr.. Bourne
has never given $4,000 toward the
completion of the Twin Falls-Jor-

matter, and we can also prove this
fact.

JOHN CLEMO.


Doubtless this name has little sig (
nificance to the reader, as very few. /
oven in this city, know who John /
Clemo is, and the purpose Of this
article, therefore, will be that you
may learn, for there is nothing but
good to say of the subject, and we
know him we'll.
Mr.. Clemo is the postmaster and
druggist of Bruneau, % miles to the
south, and, incidentally, he is the
second man to be associated with
David A. Bourne in what is now the
North Star Mining company of Jor-
bidge. Mr.. Collins, also of Bruneau,
beign the first.
Mr.. Clemo is a Woodworking,
honest and honorable gentleman of
some forty odd years and his pathway
through life has been anything but
a rose-strewn promenade.
If our memory serves us Alright,
he first saw light in some obscure
Michigan town. After an uneventful
/ boyhood, spent in the usual avoca-
lions of the youth of'his period, John,
as all his friends know him. married
and came west to grow up with the
country, and in the contamination Of
his marriage he tied his frail barque
of life to a guiding star that has since
been the keeping of the manhood
that was born of his parents, for
Mrs. Clemo is a womanly woman and
a wife and mother in the true sense
and such are the noblest works of
God.
We first knew Mr. Clemo in Poca-
tello some four years ago. He was
then employed as prescription clerk
in the Book Store Pharmacy. There
he was well known and popular, but
two years ago a change of firm
forced him (more through his own
inclination than otherwise) into the
ranks of the unemployed. Being OF
? nervous temperament, powerful ener-
= gy and indomitable will, he did
not remain idle long. He heard OF
the little town of Bruneau and went
S thither to investigate.
The Odd Fellow lodge of Bruneal
was contemplating the erection of
building of its own. The members
q and the citizens offered John in
S ducements and. with his small saw
7 ings. backed by his known honesty
i he put in a stock of drugs and sun
+ dries and established his presen
y prosperous business. He has since
been made postmaster and has pur
: chased a fine 12O-acre ranch il
e Little Valley, where every acre O
n land is capable of producing a com
petancy for large family.
