Must Run Weekly Train.

Madison.-At least one train week
must be operated by the 500 line be-
tween Spirit Falls and Chelsea under
an order issued by the state railroad

New Management Pushing Work
Right Along.
ARE SINKING new SHAFT
Will Run Another Tunnel to Get
Greater Depth.

/ The Del Rio Mining company is
now pushing the development work on
their own claims and those adjoining,
on which they have under bond.
On the Del Rio claims they are
sinking shaft on what is know as the
Del Rio No. A, which is good strong
vein carrying good values wherever
opened up. The shaft is being sunk
on the vein and in the ore chute, and
will determine the dip and trend Of
the ore.
On the Del Rio No l considerable
work has been done in the way Of
tunnels and open cuts, but not much
depth has been attained.
On the Mascot, which is to the
south of the Del Rio group another
crew of miners are driving tunnel
which has entered the ore chute
This tunnel will be continued, and
another tunnel started that will tar
the ore chute at greater depth. The
Mascot has one of the best surface
showings in the district being good
strong vein, averaging about 10 feet
wide, carrying good values. The orr
is a hematite and pans very free.

the property has been in camp for th'
past two weeks and during that time
has visited many properties with
vi6W of familiarizing himself with th'
dl6erent formations and the geology
of the district. Mr.. Snelus is al

at Lewiston last week, dropped into
Grangeville Sunday evening and
remained several days looking over
the field and the work done by Deputy
Henry Murry. While in the city
several lots of apples were destroyed,
the same being infested with disease.
Mr.. Mcpherson informs us that all
fruits placed on sale must be in boxes
or packages bearing the name and
address of the growers and no diseased
fruit will be allowed to be sold. The
law provides a fine of from $25 to
$500 for the violation of this pro-
vision. This law will be strictly en-
forced and both grower and dealer
will be arrested where diseased fruit
is offered for sale. He states that

Death of George Seay.

The death of George Seay, one of
Idaho county's best and most favor
ably known men, occurred at his resi-
dence near Winona, near the hour of
ten, Monday evening. The deceased
had been suffering for thepast several
months from an abcess on the brain
and while the best medical authority
in the west had given up his case as
practically hopeless, his relatives and
friends were not willing to give up as
long there was life. Mr.. Seay, who
was born in Arkansas and came west
many years ago, is one OF a large
family of southerners who have taken
up their home in Idaho and through
their influence and industry assisted
materially in the development Of this
section. He has served the county
in capacity of sheriff for several years
and made a most excellent officer.
Since leaving the sheriff's Office his
time has been taken up in farming
and he has accumulated goodly
share of natures endowment. The
funeral was held yesterday from the
Baptist church, the local business
houses closing out of respect to the
deceased. There we're many who at
tended the funeral and paid their last
respects to good citizen and neigh
Dor. The remains were inferred il
the Prairieview cemetery.

Trouble Saturday Night.

There was all kinds of excitement
in town late Saturday night when
Roy Downing, Cottonwood man,
was given such a beating that he will
remember it for some time to come.
The fight started in billiard hall and
was concluded in front of a residence
in the east end of the city. Tom
Lindsey and George Farrens were
arrested Monday as result Of the
trouble and the former paid fine of
$4O.8O and the latter was assessed
$28 which he proceeded to dig up.
There are further complications and
more is expected to follow in the next
several days. 1t is stated both Linds-
ley and Farrens have sworn out COM
plants against local men charging
them with violation of the local option
law and while the city has settled its
case with these two parties the state
has taken a hand in the game and
issued warrants for their arrest upon
the charge of assault with deadly
weapon. During the fight Of Satur-
day night it is alleged that Farrens
stood the crowd off with gun and
also struck at party who was about
to intercede and prevent the brutal
heating.

A southern Idaho exchange states
that one of the most striking charac-
teristics of Governor James H. Haw-
ley is his capacity and love for work.
We venture the assertion that he is
the only governor Of the United States,
who is regularly at his Office every
morning at 7:3O o'clock and who at
once delves into the work at hand.
This gives him two hours practically
free from interruptions as hardly any,
one would think of calling upon q
governor of state before ten o'clock.
Some of his old time friends, however,
who are accustomed to his ways,
occasionally drop in to see him and
have pleasant chat. When Governor
Hawley FIRST appeared at the execu-
tive office at the early morning hour
he was asked by state house at
tendant why he came SO early and
replied that he had been goiug to his
law office at that hour for 20 years
and saw no reason for making any
change.
The governors capacity for work
is evidenced by the systematizing of
the work Of the state land board.
When Hawley took office there was
seemingly neither head or tail to the
boards end of the work. Report
after report from subordinates had
been filed without action and protests
and petitions from settlers ignored.
All this is changed after months Of
arduous work of many special meet
ings of the board. The state land
board today is fully abreast Of the
work before it, and what is true Of
the land board is also true or is rapid
ly becoming true Of every board over
which Governor Hawley presides.
In the matter Of the full cash value
assessment and the work of the state
board of equalization, Governor Haw-
ley did prodigious work. He thorough
ly familiarized himself with condi-
tions as to methods of taxation in
nearly all states and fortified himself
with an array of facts and figures that
would have staggered a less able man.

Local Warehouses Filling Rapidly
With Grain.
TAX THE RAILROAD COMPANY
Extra Trains Required to Get Crop
to Market.

While reports from the various
productive sections are to the effect
that the crops will be short this year
and there is every indication that
business will not be the best during
the coming year, it looks as though
Camas and Nezperce Prairies have
reason to be more than grateful, for
with the largest crops we have had in
years and with the high prices being
paid for our products there will be
more money poured into this section
than is in the less favored sections,
two dollars to one. 1t is estimated
that train nine miles long would be
necessary to haul the grain crop from
Nezperce to market and that 100
trains of twenty cars each will be
used in transporting the barley from
the two prairies to the east. In fact
the railroad company has taken
cognizance Of the big crop to be hand
led and has placed an extra train ON
the run, bringing empty cars to the
top Of the grade. From present in
dications traffic is quite likely to be
congested ON the Camas Prairie line
before the crop is shipped to the mar
ket. However, there will be plenty
Of cars to take care Of the grain.
The writer made trip to the local
warehouses last Saturday and found
all of them working full crews Of men.
The warehouse of the Farmers Union
seems to have the best Of it so far and
presents busy scene ofmuch activity.
Over 55, 900 sacks of grain are already
stored and at the rate deliveries are
arriving the house will be filled COM
pletely before many days. Manager
Macarthur is as busy as can be and
but for the methodical manner Of
taking care of the grain there would
be condition ofchaos. Fred Meader,
who is the local representative Of the
Nj. II. Houser Co., informs us that he
has already shipped out close to fifty
ears Of brewing barley and is averag-
ing three to four cars day. All of
the brewing barley is going to the
east, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Chicago
getting most Of it. Returns are COM
ing in every day and much cash is
being paid out to the farmers. f. K.
Mclean is rapidly filling his large
warehouse and has several extra men
added to the crew. Close to 10000
sacks of grain is stored and more ar.
f riving daily. Kerr-Gifford, the Voll
mer- Clearwater Go. and the interior
people are receiving much of the crop.
1t is stated that less than halt o.
! the crop on Camas Prairie is harvested
3 at the present time and very little o.
f that which is harvested has beer
hauled to the warehouses. There il
going to be all kinds of prosperity OF
I the Prairie this year and merchants
should be up and doing. With goot
crops, big prices and the finest of fal
. weather things should be humminl
this fall. There is no room for tn
pessimist in Idaho county.

ton Of the method of dealing with

Proposed Bond Sale.

A recent news item from Boise an
nounces that "the state land board
proposes to sell the bonds belonging
to the public school funds of the state,
and invest the proceeds by leaning
the money on farm lands" 1t is
stated that .'these bonds approximate
$25O,0O0, and that the purpose, if
carried out, will prove a great saving
to farmers, who are borrowers, for the
reason that the interest on school
money is much less than that charged
by banks and loan agents" All Of
which appears reasonable.
But there is said to be two sides to
every question, and it might be we'll
to inquire into the other side of this
one. The bonds, which it is stated
the board has voted to sell, represent,
in part, the heritage of the school
children of the state of Idaho-money
loaned to school districts throughout
the state-the security being beyond
question. &
If the bonds are sold as proposed,
the money realized from the sale will
be loaned during the next wear,
while political campaign is in
progress campaign in which the
members of the board are active
candidates for denomination and re-
election, the prime instigator of the
sale, being, it is understood, candi-
date for the nomination for governor

The manipulation Of $25O,O00 dur
ing their campaigns-as will be un-
derstood-may prove q valuable aid
in promoting the ambitions of the as
pirants. But will the interests of the
public schools be benefited thereby!
We fear not.
While farm loans, if carefully made,
are excellent security, yet we need not
60 far back in the history of the Ida
no land board to find instances which
will arouse the suspicious of the most
guileless. Take, for instance, the list
of loans made in Ada county during
the last campaign, and compare them
with the leash value" assessment o
the present year, and then consult the
constitutional provision governing the
loaning of school funds and it will b.
realized how loans may be juggled il
the interest of political aspirants.
i During the first campaign, Brady
and his land board loaned Rev. Chas
L. Chalfant, on lots l, 2, 3 and 4
section 2, township north, range
east, $4,000. The same property thi
year, under full value assessment,
assessed at $6,500-when under tn
constitutional limitation, it should b
worth, to secure such loan, $13,50C
David H. Mosely borrowed on tn
old Walling place, Sd 6.10 acres,
part of which is old river channe
$4,000. 1t was assessed this year a
$4,000. Should be worth $27, zoo
These are samples. Chalfant an
Mosely were both valuable aids
Brady in his last campaign, and til
ability to make such loans doubles
caused Brady to receive such a vot
as he did in Ada county.
School district bonds are sal
investment, and the proposed sale &
this time smells fishy.
Gentlemen Of the Board: Do NJ
allow your ambitions to lead you to
betrayal of the children of Idaho.
