1t is anticipated that under the
low colonist rates which have
again been secured for the north
west for a period of thl rty days,
beginning March 10, that great
tide of immigration and travel
for investigating purposes, may
be expected to flow into this por-
ton of the country. These reduc-
ed rates will be joined in by the
four great northwestern roads for
the limited period indicated which
heretofore has been found to
greatly accelerate the movements
of homeseekers to the vast and
undeveloped northwest. In view
of this fact, it is pertine nt to in
quire what is being done by
Grangeville, Camas Prairie or
Idaho county as a whole, to Sc
cure their quota of the prospec-
tive settlers which are surely com

the panhandle and the state cap

tofore. Then when President

ed on down the Salmon valley to
Grangeville and Lewiston, as he
says he intends doing as rapidly
as possible, there will be another
&C. tie that that binds more close
ly than ever, and finally there
may even an intimacy arise be-
tween the two extremes Of this
elongated homestead.

Representative j. P. Eimers is
being heard from by his Idaho
county supporters. He introduced
a bill for the construction of a
$4,000 bridge across the Salmon
river, at Golf, and it passed the
house with flying colors. He also
broke into the senate and deliver
ed a brief but pointed speech in
opposition to the division of Ida
no county, in which he was sup
ported by a number Of south Ida
ho senators, and that bill has
gone TO its long rest. When John
fails to get recognition there will
be lots of others who will have
to show their brands for identifi-
cation.

ing west to find honest Is there
any great amount Of individual,
or concerted effort being put
forth to place the claims of this
the very best and most desirable
portion of the Pacific northwest,
in its best light before those ex-
cursionists and homeseekers, who
they reach the numerous distrib-
uting points from which they
will branch out to investigate? If
not, golden opportunity is be-
ing sadly wasted. There are two
strategic points of activity offer
ed in this work; the home of the
excursionest before he starts, and
while he is casting about in
every direction for information
which will guide him to the most
desirable place for a permanent
home, and the point of distribut-
ion when he arrives on the field
to be prospected. Failing at
those two points a community
only secures the scattering, and
usually most Indifferent prospec-
tors; those hardest to suit and as
a rule the least desirable ones.
Some move certainly should be
made in the premises.

MINING BOOM.

The following editorial in the
Denver Daily Mining Record of
recent date, the only daily min
ing paper published in the world,
will be read with interest and
satisfaction, no doubt by the peo-
pie of Idaho county, all of whom
are more or less directly inter-
ested in mining prosperity. The
healthy, optomistic tone of the
article is both encouraging and
inspiring land will have a strong
tendency to increase the faith
and hope as well as renew the
energy of those who have delved
and labored for years under ad-
verse conditions to develop and
bring to the front the rich min
eral belt of central Idaho. 1t
says:

ing boom just now-not only talk
but unmistakable indications that
warrant the belief that a vastly
improved condition, at least, will
actually ensue at no distant time.
Casual assertion that boom is
imminent incites numerous inquir
les as to where it will occur
where will the new discovery or
discoveries be madeY
A boom may be said to be an
extraordinary industrial or fin
ancial movement, attended by an
unusually upward trend in prize
IS and quickly, easily gained prof
its by those who are in accord
with the movement. Mention of
mining boom Immediately sug-
gests discoveries Of new and rich
orc sources and the magical APP
pearance of a new town toward
which people of all sorts and
conditions rush in eager haste,
bent on securing some Of the rich
ground or plying their trades or
professions where money is sup
posed to flow literally and with
out particular attention to cost
of commodities or services.
A mining revival-or boom
need not necessarily have its in
ception in the discovery of a new
mineral region. 1t may just as
well originate out of ordinary
conditions, obtaining its energy
from normal influences in the fin
ancial and industrial world.
Probably the boom will not
materialize marked by the out
ward appearance which popular

conception attributes, and possib-
ly, bereft of these familiar ears
marks, its arrival will not be
Immediately realized. Very like
ly it will not occur at all in the
sense above intimated. 1t may be
merely a revival, if there is
distinction between the two
terms, but it will be none the less
beneficial.
Neither is it necessary that
mining revival be confined to a
particular state or section. The
movement may just as well be
general, with all meritorious min
ing enterprises participating and
opportunity extended all sections
of the country to perceive and
seek accompanying benefits.
The mining boom or revival,
call it whatever pleases you best,
is undoubtedly approaching. We
believe it will be shorn of sensa-
tionalism and present itself in a
manner most to be desired,
enabling those who have interest
ed themselves in the past in min
ing to enjoy the benefits that
will well reward them for their
patience and confidence and ex-
tend to many others exceptional
advantages for success and prof
it. And further, we believe that
it will be widespread, recogniz-
ing no section as essentially pre-
eminent over the others.

A dispatch from Washington,
d. c., charges that all the senator.
including Mr.. Hepburn, of Idaho,
who opposed the bill for the cleo
ton of senator's by dreict vote
Of the people, do so because they
know that they will not be re-
turned if the people get a chance
at them. Senator Hepburn has
his faults, and some of them are
grievious ones, no doubt, but fear,
or Bringing, or evasion, are not
in the list of his short comings.
He has never been charged with
duplicity or evasion regarding hi,
stand upon any matter of public
interest. 1t is freely charged that
he has not always stood for what
popular opinion considered the
needs of the common people as
against the interests, but no one
has ever charged him with sell
ing out, or shuffling or side-step-
ing; everybody knew where
Hepburn stood, and it has gener-
ally been accepted that he stood
there because he believed it to be
right. The one criticism register
ed against him is that he believes
his judgment on any matter of
more value than that of major
ity of the people whom ne is sup
posed to be serving.

The man who makes a practice
of knocking on business firm
in town where he resides, or in
running down the town and it's
business interests in general, is
very short sighted, indeed. If
he is drawing his support from
community, he cannot afford in
any way to cripple or lessen the
business scope of any one of its
citizens, for in doing so he just
that far lessons his own earning
capacity and therefore works an
injury to himself as well as to the
entire community. One under tn
stress of passion may do such an
act and afterwards sorely regret
his ill-advised conduct; such a
one is to a certain extent excus-
able. But the person who sets
out deliberately, and maliciously
to circulate untruthfnl reports as
to the financial standing or reli-
ability and honesty of a business
firm, and thus wreck or cripple
its business interests, is a most un
desirable citizen for any commun-
ity. There are laws upon our
statute books for handling with
out gloves the character assassin
and the one who takes the life of
his fellow man from ambush, and
the business assassin should not

their spleen by injuring or de-
stroying the business of another,

fully suffer the penalty tn ereof.
