COTTONWOOD Entered in the Poätoßlce at Cotton wood, Idaho, an Srcona-class matter. 27, ms. _ W~A Correspondent wanted in eqrh Town and Village in the County. gJtF"Communication* on all matters of interest rheerfidly published. <lire us your name; not for publication, but as a guarantee of good faith. Sali utatory. For the first time the Report conies liefere its readers and for the first time the people of Camas Prairie are aide to tell the world at large, their hopes and sorrows, advantages and disadvantages, past and future, through a paper published in Cottonwood. We to-day greet you, one and all, m t as a stranger would, but trust you will receive us as a friend, and that the Report may ever prove its staunch friendship to the people of the county in assis ting their progress and further ing their interests. Although the Report expects to handle all matter of public in terest that may come before it; at the same time it will ever keep in view that, "as we read, so do we think," and we shall zealously keep our columns free of all per sonalities or matter that does not tend to benefit and improve. In other words, we intend to so pub lish the Report, that any father and mother can safely have it at their fireside and know that it contains nothing to injure or mis lead. Politically we stand neu tral to all parties, and shall en deavor to make the Report, a true reporter of all matters of public interest. We are anxious to honestly re port the resources of the country and will always esteem it a favor to receive any reports of crops, mines, stock, or the like, that any farmer, business man, or woman may present. The Report expects to receive the liberal patronage of the peo ple of Idaho and is satisfied that each subscriber will receive, di rectly or indirectly, many times the value of the subscription price. To the people of Cottonwood and vacinity the Report extends its siecerest thanks. But a short time since we arrived among you and we were met with a frieddly hand and a pleasant welcome. When the first word was spo ken about the locating of a paper in your midst, we received noth ing but encouragement and when the time came, the people sprang to our assistance nobly; where we asked for one subscriber, we îe ceived three. To day the Report appears with a subscription list beyond our most sanguine ex pectations. At first we had thought of issu ing part of our paper with Port land print, but owing to the sup port we received, we have decided to print all at home. To the people, again we would extend our thanks, and trust that the Report will always lie so edited as to continue as we start, wel comed by all, Denver Tribune : Messers Tan natt & Hogan, Cottonwood's live real estate rustlers, inform the Tribune man they have ordered and expect the arrival soon of their plant for the publication of their new pa per,the Coottonwj Report.

One of the greatest curiosities of the day was brought to light in Vancowver, B. C. recently in the shape of a bible bearing the date 152(1, printed in Latin and German text. The book contains 800 closely printed pages, is bound in the thick wood and sheepskin parchment , in use in the days when the book was is sued. Typographically the work is remarkably clear and distinct the pages being divided by a ver tical line through the middle, forming two separate columns, each about two inches wide. Another remarkable feature about the book is that in many places throughout the words are printed in red, presenting an un ique appearance. The volume is about 4x6 inches, and is in a re markably good state of preser vation, The discovery of this book gives denial to the general ly conceeded opinion that the first bible was printed in 1533. —Omaha Bee.

In all that has been said about the depleted condition of the U. B. treasury, little or no account is taken of the fact with each passing year the treasury is a large gainer by the complete dis truction by casualty of its out standing obligations. How much this amounts to the best statis ticians of its treasury department have no means of definitely ascer taining. No two figures are alike. Bince 1862, when government be gan to issue paper money, $5,819, 106 was issued up to July 1 1892 Within the same period $4,852, 451,629 was redeemed, leaving outstanding on July 1 1892, a li ability against the government of $967,177,479. In an exhaustive inquiry on the subject, made by United States Treasurer Hyatt, it is es timated that the aggregate loss on all issues up to January,1888, would not be less than $87,800, 000. The estimate did not in clude fractional currency—50 cent, 25 cent, 10 cent and 5 cent shinplasters—in such extensive circulation for the few years fol lowing the war. United States Treasurer Nebker's report this year states that more than $15, 000,000 of this fractional curn cy is outstanding, though practically gone on tion and but $4,000 v tioi 1G" City Drug COTTONWOOD.
