THREE MONTHS $3.00 1 -Mi 75c Telephone No. 26 Published evep.y Fbiday by John Lamb Entered as second-class matter January 4,1905, at the post office at Silver City, Idaho, under the Act of Congress of March 3, 1879. FRIDAY, MARCH 31,1905. The Idaho Northern road will be extended to Horseshoe Bend during the present year, and the big sawmills to cut Payette river lumber will probably be located up there. The last number of the Cald well Tribune contains a telling editorial designating the drink ing habit the "Pariah of all Rees Davis can write >> vices. forcibly and entertainingly on almost any subject, but when he touches the temperance question he is at his best. The ranchers in the valleys are rejoicing to see the snow storms which has kept up such a steady lick in the mountains for more than a week past, and made con tinuous rains at lower altitudes. It is storing moisture for the summer crops. Without this storm to even up for the mild winter there might have been a shortage for irrigation. It has been a long time since we have heard ar chirp concern ing the collection of the sugar bounty, which was made such a bugaboo by democratic orators during last year's campaign. Can it be that no demand is to be made on the state for pay ment of the $350,000 bounty? Did the sugar factory companies make so much money that they have concluded to forego push ing that claim? One of the causes Idaho has to be especially proud is her public schools. We venture to assert that no other state in the Union had, at the same age Idaho has attained, so many excellent pub lic schools, or a more complete school system. Much older states are now copying after us. Graded and high schools, housed in fine buildings, now adorn nearly every town in the state big enough to supply the pupils. Twin Falls City's first proposed factory is to be a rival to the great industry of Battle Creek, Michigan. It is to be a cereal mill for the manufacture of breakfast foods. Where is its basswood sawdust to come from? A starch factory is also contem plated. The cheap and abund ant electric power to be supplied to the town will soon attract many industries to that place. Woolen and scouring mills will be the next thing in order. Nampa, Meridian, Payette Weiser and Caldwell, all of them are arranging to have beet sugar factories located in their respec tive bailiwicks, and are discuss ing the subject of raising beets, with the farmers. It is more than probable that more than one of these localities will have a fac tory in operation in another year. The two factories now operated in Fremont county have brought great prosperity to the farmers of that county, and have been signal successes for the owners. These same owners feel like branching out and cov ering more territory in Idaho, and they are the ones who are offering to supply the capital to build factories in the towns named. Very few people realize what a big industry the Barber Lumber Co. is bringing to Boise. An im mense dam has been thrown across Boise river, six miles above the city, and a mill of great dimensions is now having the most modern machinery in stalled in it, with band saws, a plaining mill, etc., proposing to turn out 60,000,000 feet of fin ished product each year, c rnploy ing some 300 men in and about the mill, besides the crews of log gers and others, who will bring, the employees up to perhaps: more than double that number; who will invade the great timber region on the upper branches of the river. On the 25th instant, the secre tary of the interior set aside $1, 300,000 out of the government reclamation fund, to be ein ployed on the Payette-Boise reclamation scheme. This seem ingly assures the carrying out of this great enterprise, which con templates leading a portion of the waters of Payette river over the divide into Ada county, to supplement the waters of Boise river and reach fine lands higher up than can be reached from the Boise river. It contemplates making available for cultivation a vast amount, of land now comparative desert, in the Boise, and Snake river valleys in Ada and Canyon counties. Deer Flat, that splendid body of sagebrush land lying south of Nampa and Caldwell,comeunderthis scheme. a Charles A. Sinurthwaite, of Ugden, one of the leading busi ness men of Utah and a member of the quorum of seventies of Weber stake, in an open letter to his bishop, E. T. Wooley, calls upon members of the church to join "to depose the leaders who have gone estray," and declares President Joseph F. Smith is leading the church away from spiritual paths and subordinat ing its high purposes to com mercialism. He protests against what he terms "the religious commercial and political tyran ny of President Joseph F. Smith," and declares President Smith is violating the laws of the church and the laws of the country. He further demands an accounting of tithing, that t he faith of the church pledge to the nation be kept, and that the church "retire from the "domin ation of the state."—Salt Lake Herald.
