NEW ORE EXHIBITS
Better Dls
Camps Make
plays.
Word comes that a good mining
exhibit will be seen at the Spokane
International fair Jhis year, which
opens September 24. Robt. H. Cros
grove, manager of the fair, has pre
served all the exhibits which have
been gathered during the last two or
three years, and this in itself makes
a good display of the mineral re
sources of the Pacific northwest. Be
sides these, however, many camps are
sending in new specimens which will
furnish up their displays and show
the latest developments of their
mines and the new discoveries.

A TERRIBLE DISASTER
Accidents will occur in the best |
regulated families, and this great
family journal is no exception to the
genreel rule. *
The many readers of the Press will
■doubtless notice tbe vast difference in
the general makeup of the paper to
day, as a result of an accident over
which circumstances alone, control.
It is hard at any time for a daily
paper to make apoligiee, but in this
instances we admit the corn.
If any of our subscribers or adver
tisers desire aay new phrases regard

C ashed Bogus Checks.
Several of the merchants of the
city were taken in last Saturday to
the tune of about $100, each, by J.
J. Roes, who passed a bogus check at
the Coney Island Buffet for about
$125, and another on Bjorklnnd for
about $97, of whom he purchased a
fuU outfit of clothing. After pur
chasing the clothes he left for Spokane
and later left that city for Montana.
When the checks were turned into
the banks Monday payment was re
fused and the merchants called on
Sheriff Doust, who is now on Ross'
trail with a warrant for his arrest,
which is expected in the next few
days. He was well known in this
city by those he swindled and had it
not been for this fact the different
merchants would not have cashed the
checks. Those who were swindled re
fused to say anything about the affair
exoept to the authorities.
Papers are Filed.
J. H. Flynn, acting as a commit
tee of one by the Commercial clnb of
this city caused to be recorded at
Rathdrum today, tbe special article#
of incorporation of the Coeur d'Alene
Commercial Club, limited. ThaaS ar
ticles of incorporation set forth tbe
purpose of the club and It to further
named that tbe board of directors
elect, are: for tbe period of one year;
wood, B. C., is preparing entire
new exhibits of the big mines of the
Boundary country, which will be
shipped to the fair thiB year. The
Boundry in the past has had some of
the best ore ever seen at Spokane.
Many new exhibits will be made
by the mines of the Coeur d'Alenes.
This distriot has been forging ahead
with great rapidity during the past
year and the mining men believe that
while in the past they have had rep
resentative showing of their proper
ties at the Spokane fairs, it is quite
necessary that these be added to in
order to properly represent the mines
of this now famous section. It is
the deisre of the management of the
fair that all the districts in the
northwest follow the example of the
Coeur d'Alenes and the Boundry, and
strengthen their displays at the fair,
which lasts two weeks this year, in-,
stead of one, and will be a greater
benefit to all miners who exhibit.
Several new camps and dicoveries
will make a showing for the first
time.

MORMONISM
NOTAN
ISSUE
Borah Defends the Mormons
Idaho
in
W. E. Borah, republican nominee
for United States senator was in Spo
kane last Saturday in conference with
number of North Idaho politi
cans, aud the Spokesman Review
of Monday gives the following state
ment of the position he will take
during the campaign:
The Mormon question will, of
course, be up for discussion to some
extent in tbe campaign, but in a
subordinate way. I can not speak as
to the north part of tbe state, as I
have not been in tbe northern coun
ties, but there is practically no inter
est manifested in the subject in the
counties of Ada, Canyon and Boise
and that part of tbe state contiguous
to the district in which Mormons
predominate, I do not believe it
changed fifty votes in Ada county
two years ago, and there is less inter
est in the subject than ever before.
The people are not disturbed over the
feature of polygamy, as they believe
it is a thing of the past, and churoh
interference in politicos has been
much talked of of but so little seen
that it does not excite any considera
tion in tbe mind of tbe voter. Tbe
Mormon question will not in any
sense chnage the political situation
in Idaho this year any more than it
did two and four years ago, and that
is to say it will not make any differ
ence in the result.
HIS IDEA OF PARAMOUNT ISSUE.
"The paramount issue in this cam
paign, as I view it and as 1 shall un
dertake to present it, will be whether
or not President Roosevelt is to be
permitted to finish bis work with bis
full party support behind him. No
state has been more
by the policies of Roosevelt aud none
greatly " tavomd
mora"to~ expect iu~ the""future
... „
ducted purely upon principle. My
opponent and I hare been penoDAl
from those policies than Idrim. and
that is the issue. Will Idaho stand
by her benefactor? Think of it! By
the reclamation scheme Idaho 1ms
added to her inhabitable domain a
territory as large as Dele ware and
New Jersey combined, and tbe people
of Idaho will not forget who made it
Domible
"I expect the campaign to be con
friends for many years, and so far as
I am concerned the campaign will be
entirely free of peronal bitterness of
matters of the nature."

" San Francisco, Aug. 27.—Tbe Call
printed a story yesterday to the effect
that James J. Hill, the railway mag
nate, ia planning to extend the
Northern Pacific into California.
The article states that a party of
twenty surveyors, which came west
from Chicago tbe last week in July,
was in tbe employ of Hill. Tbe sur
veyeyors came as far as Winnemuoca,
Nev., where they left the Southern
Pacific and started northward on an
overland journey. Up near the south
ern boundary of Idaho these men met
another party that had come south
from Grantsdale, the end of a small
extension of the Northern Pacific, on
the other side of the Rocky moun
tains.
The two parties then proceeded
across the upper portion of Nevada
aud crossed over into California
along the route of the Western Paci
fic. Traveling down the east side of
Lassen peak, the surveyors made a
number of reconnoiters and finally
striking tlie line of the Western Paci
fic again they proceeded southward to
the valley of the Sacramento, where
they ceased work.
It is further stated that a route is
being surveyed through timber lands
in the norhtweatern part of Califor
nia, which have been acquired by T.
B. Walker and other big lumbermen.
