Idaho County Free press B. McBROOM, Editor anil Proprietor. ORANGEVILLE IDAHO. OFFICIAL COUNTS PAPER. THURSDAY, JANUARY 9 1902 GOOD PROSPECTS AHEAD. The new year ushers in an era of prosperity for the state of Idaho which it has not enjoyed before in its history. While intense parti sans may claim that this is due to the party in power, the conserva tive persons who stop to consider cause and effect know that this is not true. The state received a hard blow and one of its principal industries was seriously crippled when that party struck a death blow at silver. Their high tariffs are also responsible for the present low prices of wool, lead, copper and other products. Yet in spite of this the state has prospered. We are developing our vast timber re sources and our manufactured lum ber will soon be going east to sup ply the demand created by the de pletion of the forests of Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota. The harvests of grain have been boun tiful, and the orchardist has had a good market for bis products. The desert is being fed from the ever lasting fountains of pure water and the people are coming in from the overcrowded east witli cap ital, brain and brawn to add their quota to the total t hat makes prosperity. These are the chief reasons for the present healthy conditions. No country could be other than prosperous under them, and wheu they fail no political party on earth can continue pros perity. The production of wealth from the mines, the soil, the tim ber, is not due to political parties but to the enterprise of man. The source of wealth may be affected by political legislation, but it cannot be wholly destroyed. Hence, so long as we are passing through this era of development we will enjoy prosperity, no matter what party may be in power. The prospects for the new year are most encour aging. THE FIRST TRUST. There is mighty interesting read ing in the sacred writings if one will go at it understandingly. And when wise old Solomon said there was nothing new under the sun he saw a long way ahead as well as a long way behind him. Thus we read in the old testa ment, long before the exodus of the children of Isreal from Egypt, that Pharaoh and Joseph organized the first trust of which we have any record. Joseph, with the far see ing foresight of his race furnished the scheme and Pharaoh the capital. It is true that they prevented a great deal of suffering in ancient Mizraim; but what did they ask for and receive for their humani tarian project? All the money, cattle aud every foot of arable land in Egypt, except what belonged to the priesthood and could not be confiscated. Not only that, but they managed to purchase the peo ple themselves with the grain they had grown iu their own fields, and they remained the slaves and peons of the first tnn.t company uutil the dynasty of the shepherd kings went to pieces. And the successors of the first trust company are still in control of Egypt and are success fully maintaining the reputation Help Nature Babies and children need proper food, rarely ever medi cine. If they do not thrive on their food something is wrong. They need a little help to get their digestive machinery working properly.

If you will put from one fourth to half a teaspoonful in baby's bottle three or four times a day you will soon see a marked improvement. For larger children, from half to a teaspoonful, according to age, dissolved in their milk, if you so desire, will very soon show Hs great nourish ing power. If the mother's milk does not nourish the' baby, she needs the emul sion. ft will show an effect at once both upon mother and chid.

Their successors in this country are also successfully gaining con trol of all the necessaries of life, and the people, according to the prophets of the present administra tion, have no show for redress except by the publication of the enormous profits earned by these colossal aggregations of capital, er, Verily, verily, I say unto you, of there is nothing new .under the sun. in to is a We re de a be by so of is on the dispensary system. Senator Tillman has an article in Leslie's Magazine, in which he defends the South Carolina dis pensary law, claiming it to lie a working success. He gives some striking figures, comparing South Carolina's traffic with the liquor traffic in Maine and Kansas, the latter two being Prohibition states. He makes a compilation from the figures of the Commissioner of In ternal Revenue, according to which Maine has a retail liquor dealer to each 585 of population; Kansas has one to every 595 people, while South Carolina lias only one to 3,005 population. This is certainly a great point in favor of South Carolina. Senator Tillman explains the his tory and workings of his system, and claims that it is superior to the license system, scoring some good points; it prevents the pur chaser drinking the liquor on the premises where he buys it, he must go somewhere else to drink; it deprives the sellers of profit, they get fixed salaries and have no in centive to push sales; it breaks up the habit of "treating;" at sunset the dispensary is closed and re mains closed until 8 the next morn ing. IIis comparison of his system with prohibition is brief and scorn ful; the latter encourages hypocrisy and perjury, and does not prbhibit; in South Carolina drunkenness has decreased from 50 to 75 per cent since the law went into effect* iu prohibition states it is easy to get a physician's certificate that liquor is needed for medicine; in South Carolina, "Dispensaries can sell only on written orders and send goods by hand or express. There is no attempt to prevent the use of liquor. We 'fight the devil with fire.' We control the abuse of whisky with the use of whisky, supplying the demand in the least harmful way." Iu one part of his article, speak ing of the so-called "license" is sued by the United States to retail dealers, Senator Tillman says that it is not a "license" in the proper sense of that term, because the United States does not authorize the sale of whisky contrary to state law; it is mere evidence that the tax required by the government has been paid. It is anomalous that the Uuited States government should appear to encourage viola tion of state laws by issuing li censes or permits to sell in a state where the sale is prohibited or is allowed only to bonded state offi cers. One would suppose the national government would aid in every way possible in the enforce ment of state laws, but instead an opposite policy obtains so far as whisky is concerned." so in to one he a the the a ask to be but and the of in Marvelous as are many of the mighty office buildingB in the great cities of America, the new Broad Exchange, which is now going up in New York, will surpass them all. In this remark able structure 20 passenger ele vators will carry up anil down 80,000 people per day, or 25,000, 000 people per year. In popula tion the new Broad Exchange building will have 22,000 souls. Upwards of 24,000.000 pounds of structural steel will lie used in the building of its huge skeletou, and its walls will consume 10,000.000 brick, 600,(HKI square feet of fire proof arches aud 1,300,000 square feet- of plaster. Two miles of mar ble corridors will facilitate internal locomotion. While it is in process of construction, 4,000 men will lie employed upon it continuously for one year. The building will weigh 180,000,000 pounils and will he the largest structure of its kind in the world. * The astonishing feature of the development of Cantas Prairie, in so far as it has heen developed, is that it has proceeded steadily from year to year without adequate transportation facilities. In re sources of agricultural, forest and pasture land and mineral territory of fabulous values and extent, with opportunities for home building tt surpassed anywhere in the north west, this picturesque section of Idaho remains shut in ami shut out and tightly bottled up, so to speak. Yet its people forge ahead in their own way and glow year by year in prosperity and commercial development. The railroads will without doubt come by ami by. and iu the hope thus voiced tiie people of this section will stay with the land of their choice, knowing it to be the easiest country on the face of the eartIt in which to live aud raise families in peace, pros perity and comfort. Idaho as a state is not yet twel years old. It has attained that age in man which is looked upon as the most important period in his development, threshold, a growing, lusty youth, alert and ready to stride forward I into sound maturity. If its future ii of ve It stands on the i is to be foretold by its record of 1 a bright and splendid past, a bril liant career awaits the wonderful inland commonwealth, which is favored by a combination of re sources and attractions and advan tages unequalled by any other state. According to the twelfth census its population gained more than 100 per cent., the highest in crease of any state in the Union, The present increase is even great er, so that by the time the census of 1910 is taken we may confidently expect another member added to our congressional representation. a While all eyes are turned toward Thunder Mountain as the new land of promise do not overlook the fact that there are camps nearer home and far more accessible where the investment of a fraction of the money which Thunder Mountain will call for will put you in posses sion of legitimate mining proposi tions the values of which are well known and will prove bonanzas for the amount of y*ur investment. It is always the other end of the rain bow with the rainbow chasers, and while we do not under-estimate the .importance and values of the Thun der Mouutain country, yet we feel that there are other districts which offer better opportunities for for tune making in mining operations for far less capital. Lieutenant-Colonel Roosevelt at the time of the preparatios for the Porto Rico expedition brought up on himself the written censure of the War Department for his pre sumption iji making derogatory comparisons in a letter to the Secretary of War between other volunteer regiments and his own corps of rough riders. In a sharp letter the secretary pointed out the impropriety of a volunteer Lieu tenant-Colonel recommending the advancement of his own command by detracting from the merits of other volunteer commands. In at tending to General Miles' indiscre tion it would not have been amiss for the President to recall someiof the experiences of Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt. is as I Say what you will Grangeville is one of the liveliest and busiest towns in the whole northwest. Although we are not situated on the railroad at present, we are not so slow, and taking it all around we have one of the best little towns in the whole domain. Business is good, the people are healthy, pros perous aud happy, and we are also looking forward to a big boom in the Thunder Mountain rush in the next sixty days. Grangèville has the liest route, and it is also the nearest, best and largest outfitting point to the new camp. Hats off to growing Grangeville. Commercial advancement and prosperity are dependent in a marked degree upon the progress and favorable condition of environ ments. When any community is making a rapid development, cre ating new avenues of wealth and adding to its population supporting resources, that community preseuts an inviting field for mercantile and industrial operations, and a desira ble opening for new settlement and the profitable investment of capital. Such a community is Idaho county and Camas prairie. To one and all we say, come and see for yourself. The Louisiana Purchase Expo sition at St. Louis will be a world's fair. It will opeu May 1, 1903.

Mark and wife of Al bion, Cassia County, have dé cided to locate in growing Grange ville and have leased the premises on Maiu street next to the Right drug store, formerly occupied by Edwin London, and will shortly open up a book and stationery store, a business which they followed in their old home. They are young and i-nterprising and will without doubt build up a good business here. Needless to state, they are highly pleased with Grangeville. During the years when Mr. Mark was publishing the Albion Times he exchanged with the old reliable Free Press, and has always had an inclination to visit Grangeville and see for himself if all the good things the Fkkk Pkkss has been saying about the town and country were true, and he thinks he has never read a word of exaggeration iu these columns. We wish them success in their new undertaking. Building Association. It seems to the Free Press that the time is ripe for the establish ment of a home-building associa tion in growing Grangeville. These institutions are firmly estab lished in several towns of this state, and besides furnishing a first-class investment for the promoters, they are no mean factor in giving per manency to the towns in which they are located. Every married man and every wage-earner who has not already a home of his own would be patrons of a building and loati association, and such an institution would be of far more value to the town, the county and the state than all the politicians of all the political par ties put together. Let some of our business men and capitalists inves tigate this subject, and they will find it a far more profitable invest ment than loaning money on im proved farms. A REMARKABLE CURE A Little Boy's Life Saved. I have a few words to say re garding Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It saved my little boy's life and I feel that I cannot praise it enough. I bought a bottle of it from A. E. »teere, of Goodwin, 8. I)., and when I got home with it the poor baby could hardly breathe. I gave the medicine as directed every ten minutes until he "threw up" and then I thought sure he was going to choke to death. We had to pull the phlegm out of his mouth in great long strings. I am positive that if I had not got that bottle of cough medicine, my boy would not be on earth today. —Joel Delmont, Inwood, Iowa For sale by all druggists. a is of is of A Profitable Investment.
