Idaho County Free Press ORANGEVILLE, IDAHO Editor E. M( BROOM, OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER 190(1 Thursday, Sept. 6, AMERICA'S NEED. The following is taken from the Wall Street Journal: What America needs more than railway extension and western irri gation and a low tarriff, and a big ger wheat crop marine and a new navy, is a revi val of piety; the kind that mother and father used to have, piety that counted it good business to stop for daily family prayer before harvest; that quit the field work a half hour early on Thursday night so to get the chores done and go to that borrowed and a merchant as prayer meeting; money to pay the preacher's salary and prayed fervently for the sal vation of the rich man, who looked with scorn upon such unbusiness like behavior. That is what we need now to clean this country of filth and graft, and of greed, petty and big; of worship of line houses and big lands and high office and grand social functions. What is this thing we are wor shiping bnt a vain repetition of what decayed nations fell down and worshiped just before their light went out? Read the history of Rome in decay, and you will find luxury there that could lay a big dollar over our little doughnut that looks so large to us. Great wealth never made a nation sub There is whose Htaotial nor honorable, nothing on earth that lookH good, that is so dangerous for a man or a nation as quick-easy big money. If you do resist its deadly influence the chances are that it will get your eon. It takes greater and liner hero ism to dare to be good in Ameica, than to charge oil earth works in Manchuria." The greater number of resolu tions pnssed by labor unions re garding the alleged assassins of ex Governor Steunenburg of Idaho, demanded a Hpeedy trial of the ac cused. Either these unions are misinformed or they deliberately forget that these accused murder ers would have been tried long ago on the merits of the case against them if it had not been for their own attorneys, who have done everything they could to postpone their trials. There is a ring of in sincerity in this, and until it can be dissipated no popular sympathy can he expected for the accused— Dayton (Wn.) Currier Press. It is a noticeable fact that the leading newspapers of the country are rapidly cutting out radical par tisan politics. In fact there has never been a good reason why a paper should use a large portion of its space in a tirade on the opposite political party. It rarely changes a vote and is really a detriment rather than a help to the best form of government. Honest criticism is always admissable but it should be borne in mind that all of the good people are not in one party or ull the bad in the other. The in dependent voter is the best citizen and the exercise of this indepen dence will invariably elect the liest officials. The democratic convention at at Cottonwood, Saturday, placed a strong ticket in the field. Among the candidates are men standing and reputations have for . years past kept them in the front ranks of Idaho county's most hon ored citizens. They are uien who can not only command the respect of their opponents but will win support from many who can not entirely agree with them politically. On a whole we believe the ticket j can and will he supported by every ■ , 1 democrat excepting the usual fp ' v who have some personal enmity or personal favoritism to gratify.

Mr. Cassell Contradicts Alleg ed Misrepresentations. (irangeville, Idaho, Aug. 30, '00. T have read with interest an article published in the Evening Chronicle, of Spokane, Wash., under date of Aug 24th, with no signature attached and entitled "Thunder Mountain, Croat Min ing Center in Idaho Deserted" and in justice to the mining industy of tiie State and to the people of that section who have faith in the camp and have stayed with it through all its dark days, I desire to answer same. I am engaged in mining in that section ami its im mediate vicinity and have been in the district for the past four years continuously and am, I believe personally acquainted with every prospect in that district. In the first place that article was written by a person who is entitled to tin* "badge" as champion prevaricator in the state of Washington also it it is a certainty the writer of that article was never in Thunder Mountain country but if he was, he certainly was blind or did not use his eyes. He says that the town of Rodhevelt, once a thriving village, is abandoned. On the contrary, this town which is the business center for this as well as the surrounding districts, has at the present, six mercantile houses, five salooons, two hotels, two res taurants, all of which are doing a large and profitable business. There isa larger nlimber and more substantial business firujH in this towu at the present than at any time since the inception of the camp. Does this look like the camp was deserted? Again, sup porting my contention that this man was never in the camp lie states that this district is hundreds of miles from railroads when as a matter of fact Roosevelt is some thing like 130 miles from the rail road at Emmett, this is govern ment measure, and at present is enjoying daily mail service over a good substantial wagon road con necting these two points. Chronicle writer also states that "very little 'wild-catting' was done at Thunder mountain" when in all the history of mining there never has been as much "wild-cat ting" perpetrated as in the Thun der Mountain boom and 1 will venture to state that there is not a county east of the Mississippi river hut wliat you will find stockholders in some Thunder mountain com pany, auf in a large number of in stances not a pick was ever stuck into the ground on which the stock was sold. Cases have come to the writer of this wherein the ground in Thunder mountain upon which a fake company was organized and thousands of shares of stock float ed throughout the east, was a myth and never existed. Does thin look iike 'very little wildcatting?, "Chronicle" writer stutes about the only men made money in there were the original discoverers, two sneep herders. How near does he come *o the truth again. The orgina! discoverers of this country were the three Caswell hoys and in stead of being "sheepherders" were prospectors of long experience and they received S100 000 for their Dewey mine and 8125.000 for their Suunys.d.me 1 his in cash, and 1 have never heard that the purchasers regretted their bar gain. Many other prospectors realized from 85,000 to 830,000 out of their holdings. This same writer also states that "long train loads of machinery were rushed from the east whi e in truth one j very short train could have easily hauled all the machinery that was ever ordered for this country. The | writer states that "wealthv men of ! The a This that who have a thp east literally threw millions of j j dollars into this wilderness but received no return." As a matter 1 of fact there was less monev suent i v " , U '; r ' '^ n Z " t hF»* ' 1 ' * 1 .

Mitchlel and his local company. This last time the per formance was given at Nez Perce, i the play being put on there last Saturday night, and it was greeted by one of the best and most appre ciative audiences that evor witness ed a show in that c ty. The troupe accompanied by I)r. Riggs' hand, making in all sixteeu people, left here Saturday morning and arriv ed in Nez Perce about noon. In the afternoon the hand gave a con cert on the street and also in the evening at 7 o'clock, these concerts were enthusiastically received by the large crowds that gathered on the street and pro nounced Riggs' music the beet that Nez Perce has had for a long time. of Both of When the show began the house was well filled. The Riggs' orches tra furnished the music for the play. The performance began promptly on time and there was no hindrance or delay through the entire play, except when our co medians evoked such hearty out bursts of laughter, or a climax was so hearlilv greeted, that the play ers had to pause for alienee. Though the play was exceedingly well put on in this city, last week, those who saw it in both places pronounced the Nez Perce perfor mance far ahead of the production in this city. Between the third and fourth acts Mr. Mitchell did some fine specialty work, which was very enthusiastically greeted, specialties were "Richard III," "Dr. Jeckel and Mr. Hyde" ami "Fagan the Jew" in Oliver Twist. Mr, Curtiss, as the English re porter, played his part to perfection and again very clearly demonstrat ed the fact that he is a professional comedian excelled by few.
