THAT'S RIGHT.
Last week we were requested to pub
lish the call for th»t annual meeting of
the stockholders of the North and South
railroad company. Now if the people
of Nampa and lioise don't know the
meaning of this meeting or their objects
we will tell them. It is simply this: It
means that with the opening of spring
this railroad proposition will be placed
on its feet and work commenced. Sev
eral thousand dollars have already been
spent in making preliminary surveys
and their maps and plats have been ap
proved by the government. Does this
mean an extension of the Idaho Cen
tral to Silver City and De Lamar?
Not much. This is the Sucker Creek
route of which the Union Pacific offi
cials spoke while in attendance at the
Boise meeting. This will cross the
Short Line at or near Caldwell, thence
on to the lumber and mineral lands of
the Payette. Can we afford to allow
such a iine to be built is the question.
We say no. There is only one thing to
do and that is to bead off this scheme.
—Nampa Leader.
Now, that's right. Head the con
founded thing off. The people of
Nampa and Boise can't afford any such
oondemnable confluxions as that. All
the wild-eyed railroad schemes in this
isothermal zone are held by Nampa in
» fiduciary capacity and anything ema
nating from other souces ought to be
throttled. Therefore, head her off.
ME8A AFTER MESA.
For the Lord sake Venable, who is
that poet you have put on to the leg
islative department ? Do you have his
emanations copyrighted? We should
very much like a few extracts for our
readers to put away with their attar of
roses and autumn leaves. Just listen
to the cadences of this one: "Reclaim
ed from the whispering sighs of black,
dismal forests to the joyful waving of
fields of grain." No fiies on that. And
this: "Valley and plain, bounded by
the silvery, swift flowing river whose
waters if made to touch the warm, des
ert soil will make it blossom like a rose.'
And this: "Basked under Italian skies
for ten thousand years lies ready for
the plow, the reaper may follow the
first year and in five years the luscious
fruits of Southern France may be
plucked in every door yard. But who
will turu the rushing stream from its
rocky channel and carry it out on the
plain, mesa after mesa, (whoop) mesa
after mesa away from its natural
course? Who will fashion this artery
from which will be drawn the very life
of a new time?" We really don't know
who would be the best man to build an
artery from which the life of a new
time could be drawn. But we have a
fellow here in Caldwell who is mighty
iiandy at drawing the spirit of a good
time out of a bung hole. But, say why
not try Burgan or Jim Edwards they
are up to all kinds of monkey shines ?
, MUST BE SHOUP.
A subscriber, speaking through the
Payette Independent, makes the fol
lowing timely and sensible observa
tions:
"This matter of finance will for the
next year or two, enter largely into the
deliberations of congress, and the west
ern states, who are to elect new sen
ators to represent them, should exercise
every care in the selection of men who
have had business experience, and if
such material can be obtained men
should be chosen who have made busi
ness a success themselves. In our
opinion such men are better qualified
to understand financial questions, aud
and could act more intelligently upon
a subject with which they are familiar,
than could anyone whose ideas are yet
to be practically formed. Fully one
fourth of the United States senate is
composed of western men, and it is
mainly from this branch of congress
that we, of the we3t, must look to for
such financial legislation as will be
beneficial to our interests, and it be
hooves the legislativ« bodies of these
western states to see to it that men of
sound, practical minds, and of acquired
business experience, shall represent
them in the United States senate."
It is eminently true that what is
wanted in the Senate of the United
States are men of good, sound business
sense—men whose experience and per
sonal integrity entilte them to respect
ful consideration. The gentleman
speaking through the Independent
could have had but one of Idaho's prom
inent candidates in mind and that was
Senator Shoup. Mr. Sweet's most ar
dent admirers will not accuse him of
sound business abilities nor any incli
nation to acquire them. Mr. Sweet is a
very fine gentleman, but Ins beat friends
do not regard him as a clear headed,
practical man.
MIN.'NG MENTION.
TIP TOP.
The owners of the property have
commenced sinking from the 100-foot
level, açd are down about 60 feet, the
ore continues of good grade and the
vein is more gritty and quartz-like than
above, a feature which is thought to be
favorable. The ore-haulers are not sup
plied with sleds and have not been
hauling for the past week. We under
stand that they have ordered new sleds
from the railroad and will soon be at
work again. The mill is still running
on ore delivered before the snow fell
but will probably clean-up tomorrow
and remain idle until the ore haulers
commence again. The ore bins at the
mine are full of ore. It looks now as
though operations can continue
thron bout the winter, but serious
doubts had been entertained of the
continuance of ore hauling during the
winter months.
▲ BIO DEAL.
It is rumored that a big deal is in
progress on War Eagle mountain,
which places some of the best known
properties, on the west slope, in bond
to an Eastern syndicate. We are not
in a position to give any particulars at
this time.
Messrs. Boston & Chisholm have re
cently opened a nice bunch of ore in
the old Miller claim in Slaughter House
gulch. It is reported that they have 10
inches of high grade rock.
TRADE DOLLAR.
This property is running full blast
since its shut-down for repairs last
month, and is producing and milling
over six hundred tons per month.—Sil
ver City Avalanche.
THE PENITENTIARY.
The report of Warden Campbell, of
the Idaho penitentiary, for November,
shows there were 106 convicts in the
prison on November 1st, and 109 on No
vember 30th. Of these, six are under
going life sentence, two are for 35 years,
one for 25 years, one for 21 years, one
for 16 years, five for 15 years, four for
12 years, and the remainder for from
one to ten years. Bingham county is
charged up with the largest number of
prisoners, 21. Ada has contributed
eight. There are no prisoners from
Washington or Custer.— Statesman.
JERRY 8IMPSON'« DEFEAT.
Washington, D. C., Dec. 8.—Jerry
Simpson yesterday made his first ap
pearance on the floor this session. He
arrived Wednesday, but has been tak
ing a rest. He said: "I attribute my
defeat to the large emigration out of
the counties bordering the Cherokee
Strip into the new country when it was
opened to settlement. Eighteen thous
and moved out of the counties which,
in 1892, gave me a majority, and there
was a falling off of 13,000 votes in my
district. The Republicans lost but
4 ,000. That explains why I was not re
turned to Congress.
"Politically, it has no significance.
Aside from the gains our party has
made it should be remembered that we
are thoroughly organized. Our facili
ties for circulating campaign literature
are perfect. My future, politically, will
depend upon my health. The Lord
preserved me to witness the great
Democratic landslide. I am growing
more conservative in my prophesies of
what the future may bring forth. The
wind bloweth where it listeth. The
Democrats are under today. It seems
to me that there is room for a party
that will embrace the common people
and advocate their principles. It may
be the Populist party or not. I canuot
but believe that the Populist party is
the nucleus and a Jeffersonian party
will spring up and take the place of the
Democratic party of today, which, as
now organized, has shown that that it
is utterly incapable of managing the
affairs of the country."
NAMPA ITEMS.
The Fair of the Ladies' Guild of
Grace Church, Nampa, Friday last was
quite a success. The gross receipts
were S 114, net $88. The ladies propose
to use the money to put up a porch and
storm door for the church and to re
paint the outside of the building. The
guild during this year have replastered,
papered, painted and decorated the in
terior of the church.
Mrs Mara Kurtz left Nampa Monday
evening to visit her father at Warsaw,
New York.
