State Senator Ravenel MacBeth, of
Custer county, Idaho, is in the city
and is receiving the congratulations
of his friends on his triumphant re
election to the upper tnusc of the
Idaho legislature. Mr. MacBeth,
who is one of tbe leaders of tbe dem
ocratic party in Idaho, received a
larger majority than bis church re
publican opponent received votes.
Discussing the Idaho election yes
terday, Senator MacBeth pointed out
that the appeal of Secretary of War
Taft for tbe re-election of Governor
Gooding on the "law aud order" Is
sue cut no tigure in tbe results in
that state.
"Canyon county, where Frauk
Steunenberg lived," said Senator
MacBeth, "gave a majority against
Governor Gooding and in favor of our
nominee, Judge Stookslager, thus
showing what tbe people who knew
and loved Steunenberg best thought
of the attempt of Gooding to ride In
to office on tbe cry of 'law and order.'
Gooding was beaten decisively in the
gentile portions of the state, and
was saved only by the vote In the
Mormon counties, which he received
as a result of chuich dictation.'
Two years ago Senator MacBeth
was the only democratic member of
the upper house of the legislature
This coming session, however, while
lie will still lie a minority, he will
have considerable democratic help
because the democratic party elected
several other state senators. Senat
or MacBeth introduced and fathered
the fatuous "change of venue bl'l
in the last Idaho legislature. This
was a bill which contemplated that
persons accused of polygamy or polyg
utnous living might lie tried in coun
tics other than the one in which the
crime was committed, the ideü being
that alleged Mormon offenders might
be tried before a jury which would
j acquit them, regardless of the evl
dence.— Salt Lake Tribune.

In this day and age of the world It

Salmon Is thus situated It Is neces
sary to understand the topography of
the country. While the Salmon val
ley Is not Inaocessable to railroad
building, yet more favored sections
of tbe state for railroad construct
ion have ample railway facilities, and
the time Is not far distant when one
or more line will run througo this
section of the state and open one of
tbe largest areas of territory with
resources unexoelled iu any other
part of the state.
It Is no douht a source of surprise
to tbe readers of The Recorder, in
other states to learn that Salmon is
not only the county seat of Leiuhl
county, but has ail the modern Im
provements of more favored localities.
The city has electric lights, a
splendid system of water works, pub
lic buildings and business bouses

other cities of the same size.
All we luck to develop our nonder
ful mineral, agricultural imrtlcultur
ul. stock raising and ranching Indus
tries is railway cominunleutloii with
the outside world. In this respect,
the writer liriuly believes it will be
but a matter of a couple of years
when we will have a trunk line, giv
ing us diiect communication from
the Atlantic seaboard to toe Pact tie.
When this time arrives Hal'non will
be tbe center of the laigesi mining
industry in the world.
The city lies in tile Salmon River
basin, at the confluence of the Sal
mon and Lernlii Rivers. The sur
rounding mountains are tilled with
minerals, which as yet, have been

would be hard to approximate tbe

have railway facilities hundreds of
mines, which have been developed to
some extent, would then be paying

While we now have a little city of
but twelve or thirteen hundred in
habitants, In a prosperous condition,
yet the moment that actual railway
work should begin in the valley all
would be activity, every form of In
