GOLD STRIKE
AT MALHEUR
Much Excitement Caused
by the Recent Strike
Near that Place.

The rumor of a rich gold de-
posit near Malheur City has been
the cause OF much excitement in
that neighborhood. The Onta-
rio Democrat of last week re-
ports on the same as follows:
considerable mining excite
ment is being occasioned in the
Malheur mining district by a re-
cent strike made there by F. L.
Johnson of Vale on the property
of the Drexel Mining Company,
ne.fourth mile from Malheur
City. 1t is reported that almost
free milling gold ore has been
found at a depth of 80 feet that
will run from $500 to S400 to
the ton. The vein in which it
lies is said to be 20 feet wide
though it's extent is at present
unknown. Malheur City as a re-
suit is fast becoming a tent city.

going in and stalking out new
claims"

ing this information is on top,
exposed TO the view OF the con
sumner, for whose benefit this in
is required by law.
All dealers should get guaran-
tees from the wholesaler, jobber
or manufacturer, that the vine
gars they buy comply with the
pure food laws OF Idaho. We
have lately been clearing on the
market lot OF distilled vinegar,
colored to initiate the cider vine
gar. Idaho farmers who are man
ufacturing a good grade Of pure
cider vinegar from their apples
are going to be protected from
this spurious stuff, and notice is
therefore given to all interested
that the laws of Idaho deem a
product adulterated if it is mixed
colored or stained in a manner
whereby damage or inieriorIty is
concealed. In our opinion the
addition Of coloring matter to
any type of vinegar is for the
sole purpose of concealing inferi
ority and deceiving the public
and is therefore prohibited" f"

'The Times also trusts that
Mr.. Bates will receive the APP
pointment, not because 'he is a
lifelong democrat but for the
reason, that Mr.. Bates will deal
out exact justice to all. He will
be a great relief from the class
of dudes who have been sent to
show .us heathens' how to run
things in Idaho. 1t has come to
such pass that nearly every
other man you meet nowadays ls
some kind of special agent, and
if we are to be run over by spec
ial agents, special prosecutors

from the columns OF the Parma
Herald that he is qualified for
any position in Idaho from
United States senator down. As
to his democracy, he started
fighting the party's battles about
the time Andy Jackson was
fighting the United States bank
and be has been Hghting them
consistently ever since.
1t is hinted that Editor Bates
has already accumulated a fine
assortment OF Endorsements.
The stockmen, especially sheep
men, are backing him to a man;
the big democrats from Gov
ernor 'Hawley, Senator Perky,
Fred t. Dubois and others of
like caliber all the way down the
line are enthusiastic over the
idea OF Mark getting just recog-
milton for his long party service.

who have felt the edge OF his ed
itorial pen on many occasions
will. it is said, back their brother

sition he seeks is a good one

SOME PRESS
COMMENTS

We are not given much to
footing our own horn through
the columns OF the Herald, but it
would be ungrateful if we didn't
appreciate some OF the nice
things said about as by our
brother editors On that &C
count we are going to beg your
indulgence for reprinting the fol-
lowing from some of the prom
inent papers of the state. We
want to call the attention of our
newspaper boys to the fact that
if they are really anxious for a
change in the forest reserve pol
icy, they must Immediately get
as busy as a bunch of angry
hornets at a nigger camp meet
ing with the iniquitous and oder
ferrous Pinehot foreign con-
trolled system now in vogue.
"The friends of Hon. Mark A.
Bates. editor and publisher of the
Parma Herald, are urging bis
appointment as forest supervisor
Of the state of Idaho to succeed
Emil Granjean. The appoint
ment of Mr.. Bates to this posi-
Ition would meet with the ap
proyal OF great majority of The
people of the state without. re
gard to politics. He is well quail
flied for this or any other posi-
tion. He is a life long democrat
having fought the battles of hii
party when democrats were al
scarce IN Idaho as republican,
we're in 1896. Relief from thi
