The Owyhee nugget. ([Silver City], Idaho) 1905-1984, 1911-02-09

This is the open season for leg
islative comedy. This the time
when the yapwith the gift Of CAB,
selected by equally intelligent
electors, drags into the halls Of
state some outlandish morsel Of
proposed Legislation which holds
his commonwealth up to ridicule
throughout the nation. Take a
look at New Jersey. A physician
down there has suggested a great
social reform. He has denounced
the wedding ring as relic Of
barbarism. 1t dates, he believes,
to the time when women were.
slaves and had to wear a ring as
mark OF that status. So he has
presented his wife to- be with a set
OF books instead of a ring. If,
this reform should become popu-
lar, just fancy how happy the
girls would be when receiving
from their husbands, instead oil
a barbarous diamond ring, q set
of Ibsen. Another reform is also
being suggested. A woman
club at Trenton is said to have
written to the governor of New |
Jersey asking his support OF a
bill they have prepared for the
legislature, providing that every
married man be compelled to
wear a ring on one thumb to
show that he has been welded. |
The bill provides that every man
in the state who is married, wear
what will be known as a thumb
ring" Married men, if the law
goes into effect, will have to wear
their rings at all times while out
side their own homes, and a pen
atty Of two years in state prison
and a fine Of $500is provided for
failure to live up to the provis-
ions Of the law.
Idaho legislators should beware
lest the inmates of the insane
asylum string them into intro
lucing bill providing for hob
0led skirts for brook trout.

Mining News Elk District,
Idaho county, Idaho, is spoken
of by many mining engineers who
have examined it as being the
richest zone Of mineral veins of
gold ore known in the civilized
world. Well defined assure veins,
large ore bodies, carrying free
gold and some sylvanite, ore
that plates from 30 to So per
cent, and which is adaptable to
high saving by concentration,
ore which pays from the grass
roots, the deeper workings dis
closing uniform permanency,
plenty Of timber, water and pow
er. Good results are obtained
with little expenditure. The adj
vent of the promised railroad will
make a boom such as few mining
districts ever enjoyed, end this
district well deserves it. Large,
well defined veins, constant ore
bodies rich in character, plenty
OF water, water powers and tim
Der, all that is needed to COM
plete the essentials is a railroad,
and that is assured.

Mining World In spite Of
many drawbacks, financial and
otherwise, Idaho's total output
for 1910 will exceed $4,000 900
in gold, silver, copper, lead and
zinc and coal. Since. the panic
it has been difficult to obtain all
the needed fundsfor development.
Then, too, the ravages OF the
great fires badly crippled opera
lions In many good districts that
were just getting into a position
TO ship. Irrigation schemes and
land booms drew much attention
away from the mines. In a great
measure the craze along land
deals has spent it's force, and
there is a realization in the coast
cities that people cannot live on
land and apples alone. These
and other factors indicate that
interest is now rapidly turning
to the'mines again and for good
reasons.

Mining World. The South
Mountain district has produced
1915, 600, and is a well developed
mine. The ore is in a reef oil lime
between granite and schist, with
assures crossing the belt from
which much Of the best ore was
taken. The American Standard
on the same belt is working in a
limited way and has exposed
some good lead carbonate and
chloride ore.

 WILL ATTACKED

Atlanta, February 6-Charging that Mrs. Annie Hanson Garrett took advan- tage of knowledge gained while she was a member of the Theosophists to influ- ence the late Major J. E. Hanson against his wife and daughter, also members of that sect, suit was filed today by Mrs. Estelie c. Hanson, the widow, and Mrs. Fannie Hanson White to break Major Hansons will.

 It is declared also that he was made to believe by Mrs. Garrett that all of the other members of the family were his enemies.

Tension That Has Existed fof Some Time Is Relieved
REPORTS STILL CONFLICT
Very Light, According to the Re- ports Received Through
 Various Sources

Fl. Paso, Texas, February e-The belief General Pasqual Orozco has abandoned for the present at least his plans to at | tack Juarez.
 This has relieved the tension that has existed across the international border for four. days, but Mexican military and civil officials have not abated their wig iance.
 No definite knowledge is obtainable as to the location of Orozco's forces. Of ficlals are inclined to credit the report that the insurrecte leader has retired to samalayuca, his supply camp, to effect his long delayed junction with General Blanco's TOO troops. Contradictory ad- vices today from the insurrecto junta here state that Orozco is camped ten miles west of Juarez, within easy striking dis lance. The same advices report that he vas joined early today by General Joe De La Luz Sanchez and a considerable force of rebels.
 As to his immediate plans of campaign advices are equally conflicting. One re- port says that Orozco plans to go south tonight to meet General Navarros federal troops. marching overland from Chihua- fua to the relief of Juarez Another states that Juarez is still the objective point of Orozco and that he Is planning surprise attack.
 Although business in Juarez was parti- ally resumed today there is considerable nervousness among residents.

 Although there are less objectionable features in the bill than in any similar bill in the history of waterway legisla- tion, the pork barrel,'' having been wholly eliminated from the measure. there are one or two projects carried in the waterway budget which will ere ate controversy, the most prominent of these being the item for the improve ment of the Sabine Neches canal from the Port Arthur ship canal to the mouth of the Sabine river, the Neches river up to the town of Beaumont and the Sabine river up to the. town of orange, in the state of Texas.
 The river and harbor bill as 1t came from the House carried appropriations aggregatlng $21, ,S94S61 and authorizations for contracts to be provided for by fu- ture appropriations amounting to $9,ol4,- 363 making a total of S31, 400, PA The Senate amendments increased the bill $53S, 000 the cash items being Weymouth, Fore river, Mass. $140.0O0; the Missouri river, from Lebeau to Fort Benton, S150- coo, and surveys, $50, 900, making a total of $340 OO0, and $19S.000 in the way of con- tinuing the contract for South Haven harbor, Michigan.

Washington, February 6.--(SpeciaS)r- The Presidents laudable Canadian re- ciprocity efforts played small part in White House doings today and che ship subsidy bill took the center of the stage.
 Chairman Weeks of the House pest office committee, before which the bill comes; Representative Dwight of New York, and that arch subsidist, Senator Gallinger, were in conference with the a campaign to get. the Galinger bill unamenaed through the House.
 A determined effort will be made to accomplish this. The situation confront ing the bill differs radically from thai in which other pending legislation is placed The next Congress being demo- cratic there is not a chance for ship subsidy bill. It Is case of now CT never .
 If Canadian reciprocity, fo- example, falls, democratic House in either regu- lar ar extra session would do more for that class of legislation than the pres ent House, but ship subsidy is having its last inning and unless put through by March 4 is done for. The President and other advocates of the bill fully realize the seriousness of the situation and no stone will be left unturned to gain votes fer the measure.
 It is understood that Representative Dwight, who during the last three days has made careful poll of the House. finds the bill short of a majority.
 The President is to go out after votes for it and no other measure Is to get more executive assistance.
