Montpelier, Idaho, Nov. %, 1913

If Governor Haines heeds
'the voice of the press" there
will not be an extra session
Of the legislature this winter.
So far as we have noticed,
every weekly paper in the
state which has expressed it.
self on the qudstion, has en-
phatically opposed the hold
ing of a special session. The
writer, not only as editor of
the Examiner, but as a rep
resentative from Bear Lake
county, wishes to join with
the many other editors in the
state in registering his vote
against calling the law max
ers in special session.
The talk Of calling u special
was started, we believe, in
the north because the drain
age law, which was enacted
last winter, was not legally
passed by the house and
therefore is imperative.
While a properly enacted
drainage law may be of con
siderable benefit to the people
in two or three of the north
ern counties, it is certainly
not of such Importance TO the
people of the state as to form
even the slightest basis for
calling the legislature in
special session.
It is true, there are other
questions of considerable inn
portance which would be con-
sidered by the legislature,
but none of them can be
deemed tie be of such state
wide Importance that the
masses of the people are de-
handing the enactment of
laws covering any of these
questions at this time.
The people of Idaho are
now burdened with too many
laws and excessive taxes,
and the holding of a special
session of the legislature
would only increase the mum
Der of laws and could not pos
sibly relieve the tax problem.
Again we say, if Governor
Haines heeds "the voice Of
the press" and the wishes of
a vast majority Of the people
of Idaho, the legislation will
not be called in special SEES
sion. Let US hope that he
listens to the masses and not
to the few politicians who
are figuring on being able
to pull the political wires &c
their advantage during the
session.

ALONG THE BRANCH.

After delay OF a week, caused by
the unprecedented snow blockade in
the Cascades, work has again been re-
sumed on the le-Wenatchee
branch, but whether the snow that is
falling heavily at the time of writing
will cause still further delays remains
to be seen. The layman may not un-
derstand how the suspension of traffic
over the Cascade mountains could DOS
sibly interfere with building a rail-
road IN Okanogan county, but the steel
used for the track on the branch is be-
ing sent in from the west side, and
the tie up naturally put an end to the
supply. A consignment was at last
shipped through by the way of the
spokane. Portland 4 SeattiSrZr ound
ABOUT route, but the only one 0pen to
the coast. Ten car loads of rails ar
rived at this place this week. Engineer
Eli states that work will proceed
steadily, and does not believe that the
conditions OF the weather will mater
tally Interfere with building. More
steel is enroute, and it hardly seems
possible that there will be any further
postponement on account of steel
shortage. From the appearance of the
yards, Uttered up with stacks of ties,
bridge timbers, telegraph poles, fish
plates, spikes, etc., it is not likely that
the construction gang will run out OF
any other material. People down the
line must have patience, a virtue they
have long exercised. Experience has
taught the older residents that moth
ing in the way of improvements can
be carried out in Okanogan without
a hitch and heart rending procrasti-
nation. In this instance the blame for
a brief delay cannot be charged against
the dilatOry tactics of the contractors.
The clerk of the weather is RESPONSE
BILE this time. Now that another start
has been made the ribbons of steel will
soon be reaching far down the valley.

satisfies operators, or shipments would
not have been continued so steadily.
Work was suspended at the mine Tues
day. This is not another of those
mining fiukes that have 80 often
brought CONSERVATION to those living
IN this upper country depending large
ly upon the continual operation of
some property, or group of properties.
Inc halt is due wholly to the weather
conditions. The low temperature has
frozen pipes conveying water to the
engine and mine, and although much
care and labor have been enlisted in
an effort to overcome this drawback,
winter has the whip hand, and it be-
came absolutely necessary to suspend
operations until spring. AS soon as
the back of winter is broken work will
commence again with renewed energy,
and with better equipments for hand
ling the ore. The winter will not pass
IN 1dleness as bins will be construct
ed on the railroad right-of-way, and q
siding put in to the bins. The wagon
road between town and the mine will
undergo extensive repairs and i'm
proVemetns, and trail wagon will
be provided for the truck, greatly in
creasing the amount of ore that can
be delivered. Furthermore, in order
to Keep a stream of ore flowing to the
bins the auto truck will be run two
shifts, night and day. This will re-
quire the employment of more men at
the mine in order to break down ore
fast enough to keep the truck in ac-
ton. The plans now in hand
mean the employment of a much larg-
er force than has heretofore been at
work, and also means the more ex-
peditlous making of mine for this
vicinity. 1t hardly needs to be added
that the Lake View-Dividend is all
right.

Kolb is not here to spend money reck-
lessly and wastefully. and every dol
lar that passes through his hands will
be strictly accounted for and used for
the single purpose of determining
whether or not the property Is the
making of.a mine. Not only has he
respect for those who have put their
money in the property in good faith,
but he has risked his own substance
in the enterprise, and is handling the
means entrusted to him as he would
his own money. He Is making no
fiambOuyant promises, or lurid mis-
representations for the purpose of
foisting stock upon the public. He
has good, strong ledge to work on,
he believes with depth the character
and value of the ore will improve, and
is working on that hypothesis. If up
on sinking the ore turns out as he has
every reason to expect then the stock
holders will eventually receive some
returns on their investment. And the
general evidence of the presence of
mineral is so pronounced that the
company is justified in carrying out
the plans of development that he has
inaugurated.
The Gazette will endeavor to keep
in touch with Mr.. Kolb and his FORE
man, and from time to time report
progress, confident that if it is possi-
BILE to make mine out of the Elleme-
ham group Mr.. Kolb Is going at it in

He has faith in the property, for only
a firm and abiding faith would keep q

PULLING FOR THE PLANT.

Not a great deal has been said re-
Gently relative to the cannery that an
eastern gentleman was figuring upon
establishing at this point, but our
people have not lost sight Of that val
liable acquisition to the town and
country, and much corresponding ia
going on relative to the subject. A
cannery of large capacity would be
blessing to the land owners of this
locality, and on the other hand would
be a fortunate investment for those
behind the enterprise. Raw material
of unlimited quantity and wide varie-
ty, and the very best of raw material,
too, is insured at this point, and by
truning out canned goods that
would tickle the palate of the
public market would be opened up
to the north, east and west that would
require constant increase of output to
supply. Probably there is not q more
attractive field on the coast for an in
vestment of this kind, both from the
view point of quality and quantity of
products to can and the extent of the
territory to be supplied by the canned
article. There Is another great ad-
vantage that should be taken into con-
sideration as beneficial to the locality.
A cannery at Orovilie would have a
longr operating season than at any
other place that could be selected. The
season of delivery is several weeks
earlier in the valley than on the high
er lands where vegetables can be
grown. By the time the valley pro-
ducts were cleaned up those from the
upper levels would be ready for de-
livery. Protracted runs means great
er output, and shorter period of idle
ness for the cannery. This paper can
not positively promise that the can
merry is an assured fact, but it is be-
lieved that if the promoters will care
fully weigh the advantages of Oroville
as site for such an industry they will
not hesitate to carry out the suggested
plan. The people here are ready and
willing to extend every encourage
ment in their power to this or any
other proposition that may be on the
look out for favorable location

OFF THE JOB.

The old council held its last meet
ing Thursday night to close up the
unfinished business that body had in
hand, and to put the house in order
for the new administration that took
up the duties of municipal manage
ment Monday night. The old officials
to step down and out are Mayor John
r. Reese, who deserted his post q
month ago on account of businss in
terests that called him elsewhere.
Treasurer Ed. Davis, who has made
an excellent, honest and accommodate
ing guardian of the public money, the
sum total at any one time never being
OF very tempting size during his ten
nre OF office. COuncilmen Mills, Ed
wards and Wickersham, the two for
mer holding Office by appointment,
Beale and Bragg being the holdovers
The position of councilman carries
no salary or perquisite in this town,
and at best is very thankleso office
TO fll tie position properly and no
man Should accept the Office unless
prepared and willing to shoulder re1
sponsibilities, requires the devoting
of considerable time to the public well
fare. And the public is tickle collec-
tion of individuals. 1t is impossible,
even in minor Office, to please every
body, and the councilman who acts
upon his own initiative, and that is
the Independent way of acting, is
bound to provoke criticism. Too often
such criticism is unjust. Councilmen
are human. They are liable to make
mistakes. No one can avoid mistakes
who is willing to take part in any
movement relative to municipal busi-
ness, and they should be given credit
for acting according to their lights,
without intention of wrong doing. The
old council retires after some months
devoted to conducting public affairs
bearing upon the welfare of the town.
If they have erred at times in the
opinion of few it has been only er-
rors of judgment. Give the retiring
officials credit for having done the
best they knew how. They are all
citizens of Oroville, with the best in
terests of the town at heart. They re-
tire to private life carrying with them
the best wishes of great majority of
the population, and they will be found
out of office working with their fellow
citizens for such measures as promise
the greatest good to the whole COM
munity.
