ECONOMY FOR OTHERS.

Some persons at least will agree
with the findings Of G. A. Hast.
ings in the following article to
the Lewiston Tribune, on the
economy of the governor:
81 have read Governor Haw.
ley's Economy in Public Office
communication as published in
the Tribune of Monday morning
1t was so strange, so inconsistent
that l read it the second time.
Everything in the house was as
still and quiet as the breast when
the spirit has departed and my
mind wandered back to the SEES
sion Laws of 1911, page 70, and
there we find a bill calling for an
appropriation for $500 to enable
the governor who is appointed a
commissioner to select a number
of other gentlemen and go to San
Francisco on junketing trip, al
though the language Of the bill is
to select a site for the Idaho
building at the Panama exposi-
tion to be held in that city in
1915. And l see by the papers
that six of Idaho's most dis
tinguished citizens governor,
lieutenant governor, judge and
lawyers are appointed on that
committee to help the hard work
ing governor to select a site.
Dearly beloved, you and know
that Idaho will take the site
allotted to them by the authori-
ties who have charge of the ex-
position. One man would do all
the work required by these com
mis-sioners. / believe there are
public spirited men in this state
who would cheerfully attend to
the matter free of any expense to
the state. What earthly good car
this commission do except to look
upon California S daughters, sam
pie her wines, listen to- the laugh
ter and eloquence of her men,
toast and be toasted at the ban
quet and in wee sma' hours all
hands join in singing that glor-
ious anthem For He's a Jolly
Good Fellow Then my mind
wandered again to the session
laws Of 1905, calling for an APP
preparation for the governor of
flee expenses outside of his sal
airy, $4,000. Then | turned to
the session laws of 1911 and. that
calls for an appropriation out
side of the salary, for the sun
of $4,000 for office expenses.
Within 800 of twice the appro
priation of 1905, and | wondered
if Idaho had grown in so short
a time double her population. Thu
governor criticized the university
academy and normal school anC
says but very few get the benefit
of these institutions. Not on'
word does he say about the lacl
of economy in his own office, no
one word about the surplus hell
employed there, not one wore

Salmon Herald: Fred Mignar-
dot and Angus Mcleod came out
from Edwardsburg, Idaho coun-
ty, last week, coming by snow
shoes as far as Yellow Jacket,
and on foot to Salmon. Edwards
burg is situated on Big creek,
about SO miles above the dis
charge of that stream into Mid
dlefork. These men came down
Big creek, assembled Middlefork
and Wilson creek, and over Hoo
doc summit to the Jacket,
thence by the wagon road to this
city. The distance travelled is
about $50 miles, and though the
going was not the best, they man
aged to make it in eight days.
Great Boom Coming.
Mr.. Mignardot says the Ed
harrisburg district is destined to
see great boom this year. Some
excellent discoveries have been
made in that country, great bod
les Of fine ore have lately been
uncovered, and the fame of the
land has gone abroad to other
districts. 1t will not be a mush-
room boom, either, because they
have a solid basis for the promis-
es so radiantly held forth.
w. A. Edwards is the man for
whom the postoffice is named.
He controls much mining ground
in that country, and men have
been employed on some of it all
winter. The Eagle Mining COM
pany operates what is sometimes
called the Edwardsburg mine,
where a force of eight men have
been driving a crosscut tunnel.
On January 9th, just before
these men left that camp, the vein
was cut at a depth of 400 feet,
showing four feet of good ore of
silver, lead and gold. This pro-
perty is equipped with Tremain
mill of four stamps which will be
started up the coming spring.

WARWOOD
Don't Want TO Be Annexed.

About two weeks ago the Intelli
gencer carried an interview with a
prominent local official relative 10 the
talk about Wheeling annexine Greater
Warwood in the near future. and
quoted the speaker as saying that the
majority OF Warwooders are dead
against such movement. and that
he would venture 10 assert that - per
cent. OF the residents did not want 10
come into any city. The article has
caused considerable talk through War
wood. and II appears that the official
who gave ont the interview is correct.
He gave about dozen reasons why
Warwood wanted TO be left alone 50
