THE ASYLUM SOANDAL.
The Black foot News, a warm
partisan of Dr. Given:«, and as a
result, of course, of the Asylum
Board and of»Governor Steunen
berg in the sains connection,
gives the following account of the
recent meeting of the board:
The bimrtl of directors of the asylum
closed its session on Tuesday last. A
full Ii iard 'vas present and the tl6ual
routine business was attendi'd to. The
completion of the left of the asy
lur.: l>ilHclti;«t, now in eonrse of con
struction, is net', jsarily del' rred uatil
next s not nearly enough
brick is on hand to iinish tha build
ing.
An invitation hnd been extended to
those making charges of improper
notion by the directors In regard to Dr.
Muore's retirement frorn the asylum
service, and their appointment of Dr.
Oivi'iiB, and also charges of dishonesty
against tlii> former'mnuagenient-of Dr.
Givens, to come forward and verify the
charges which have been appearing
from time to time in a few newspapers,
but no one appeared.
The Directors believe that they acted
tor the b< it interest of the patients and
the people of the state in accepting Dr.
Moore's resignation and .in appointing
Dr. Givens. The board made a careful
investigation of the charges of dis
honesty against Dr. Oivens and have
no hesitation in pronouncing them ab
8olntely false.
The directors are in regular session
ev«*ry three months and any person
who has any grievance against the acts
of any officer or employee of the asy
lum, or any complaint in regard to
any transaction in connection with
the asylum, will be always given a res
pectful hearing by them, as they desire
to perform their duty in a satisfactory
manner.
The facts in regard to anv business
trans lation connected with the asylum
will, at any time, be made known to
any citizen of the state applying to Dr.
Given's at the asylum, and the direct
ors and Dr. Given's invite the fullest
Investigation into all transactions in
reforeaee t > tha asylum, either past or
present.
In recard to the criticism of Govern
or Steunenberg, in connection with his
relation to asylum management, the
governor is prepared to render to the
people an account of his stewardship
in this matter. Governor Steunenberg
attended tho meeting of the board of
directors and is earnestly but quietly
giving his attention to promoting the
efficiency and economy of this im
portant department of the state govern
ment.
This statement can not be satis
factory to the people. To talk
abtut the board waiting for some
onj to come forward and make
charges is too childish to deserve
milice. The board had sufficient
knowledge of all allegations
I
j
I
I
either against the superintendent, |
ainst themselves or against the
governor, and then they call
aloud for some one to come for
ward with charges they put
themselves under suspicion of
attempting to shield wrongdoing,
unless some one conies forward
and drags them out of their lair.
This, in fact, is one of the very
charges that has been made. It
has been freely stated that the
only hope they had of retaining
Dr. Givens was that they would
be able to frighten Dr. Moore's
friends so badly that they would
uot insist upon an investigation.
Their statement is not fair to
thé people of Idaho. If the
board did not join with Governor
Steunenberg to job Dr. Moore
out of the position of superinten
dent in order that 'Governor
Steunenberg might give it to Dr.
Givens in payment of a political
debt contracted during the cam
paign; if the allegations of an
affidavit charging Dr. Givens
with dishonesty are not true; if
other published atateaients in the
same line which, we understand,
are vouched for by a responsible
citizen of Blackfoot, are also
false; if the charges that Dr
Givens, is devoting a large part
of his time to his private practice
is a mistake, the people of Idaho
are entitled to have a plain and
detailed statement of these facts
and the causes of their origin.
Until such statement is made sus
picion must rest on all parties
concerned. All random talk
about spite work and politics on
the part of the board is but
stronger evidence of its guilt and
of its fear of a statement of facts.

IDAHO'S FUTURE.
In no section of the mineral
belt are the prospects more
promising than in the state of
Idaho. The great mining tidal
wave that is gathering force all
along the line will strike Idaho
with full power, for its mineral
advantage invite the closest scrut
iny. As a commonwealth Idaho
suffers from inadequate railway
facilities and always will on ac
count of the topography of the
panhandle, but the fact that a
great deal of the ore produced
must find an immediate outlet in
to adjacent states will in no wise
interfere with the development
of her mining districts or discour
age capital from seeking invest
ment within her borders. Placer
mining is receiving a great deal
of attention in Idaho, and there,
as well as elsewhere, it is found
that the old timers did not strike
bedrock, but stopped operations
when a false bottom was encoun
tered. Thus the old workings
offer splendid inducements to the
modernly equipped miner, and
no state can boast of wider area
of such profitable ground. Idaho
is seamed with rich veins of
quartz and in addition to her al
ready great mines the future is
full of promise to the prospector.
Little wonder that the eye of the
eastern investor is centered upon
this state. It is a jewel in the
crown of the mineral empire.

A SECRET ROOM.
Visitors to the patent office in
T
New York are frequently carried
to "the vault" and allowed to
gaze through the palings of the
wooden door that leads to the
sepulchral apartments with their
imagination excited by stories of
the contents of the place. "The
vault" of the patent office con
sists of a series of rooms and cor
ridors in which the papers of all
the abandoned patent cases are
filed. When an inventor has
filed his claim and from peverty
which prevents him from prose
cuting it, or from a change of
opinion regarding the merits of
his device, decided to press it no
further, the whole case is sent to
the abandoned tiles'room.
Every year since the organi
zation of the patent office the con
tents of that room have been
added to. The rules of the pat
ent office are that these files shall
be kept absolutely secret, and no
one is permitted to pass the wood
en gate leading to them, except
a small number of trusted em
ployes. What thoughts of genius
an
if
of
a
lie buried in the vault, what in
ventions are there indicated no
one knows, and no one can
know.
OROSSED 1H; CONTINENT.
In the November Ladies Home
Journal, George Ludington Weed
writes of "When Dr. Whitman
Added Three Stars to Our Flag
and shows conclusively that
party of five people, including
two women, crossed the Rocky
Mountains at South Pass in 1836,
six years prior to Fremont's
crossing. Concerning this in
teresting historial incident Mr.
Weed writes: "The first wed
ding tour across the continent
was in 1836. There were two
couples, Marcus Whitman, M. D.
and the Rev. II. H. Spaulding,
and their brides. They made
the journey of thirty-five hun
dred miles, occupying seven
months, in a wagon, the first to
cross the continent. Dr. Whit
man, having visited the region
before, was guide to the new
home in Oregon. He was the
first to make known its value to.
the United States. South Pass
ïs reached," writes Mr. Weed of
the famous journey, "the highest
plateau, the divide of the conti
nent. In the Pass the traveler
reads the inscription, 'Fremont,
1845.' All honor * due to the
'pathfinder,' but also to the two
heroines who had gone through
six years before his claimed dis
covery. Let another inscription
read: 'Mrs. Whitman and Mrs.
Spaulding, 1836.'
"It is the Fourth of July. The
party pauses in its journey. Pa
triotic words are spoken as the
Bible and flag are taken from the
wagon. The one is laid on a
blanket spred upon the grass, the
other is raised over all. The
kneeling company offer prayer
and praise, and reverently take
possession of the region beyond
in the name of God and of the
United States.' The only human
witnesses to the scene are the
two Nez Perce lads who wit
nessed the Whitman wedding
ceremon}' at Angelica, New
York, immediately preceding the
start for Oregon."
