season to be fishing in the figurative political pond for advantages but these are I hard times and the pay of county offices offi-ces is something worth making an extra ex-tra effort to obtain The

Boise Democrat Juts the nail on the head this way The Statesman while shedding tears in behalf of the armies now trying to I reach Washington attempts to make it appear that the administration is responsible re-sponsible for the uprising and should bring about the relief Bills and resolutions reso-lutions have already been introduced in Congress providing for the relief of the I multitudes reduced to starvation by thirty years of Republican misrule The Statesman the organ of the rich j in inciting to revolution for political capital should not forget that when I thc looting commences the vaults of tiose for whom it is a mouthpiece i will be the first to yield treasure Seeing that the water question is being be-ing considerably agitated just at the present time would it not be a good idea to seriously consider the advisability advisa-bility of building reservoirs on some of our mountain streams or at least finish up the one that has been commenced com-menced We have an idea that if the money that is likely to be spent in lawsuits law-suits was applied to the building of reseroirs and increasing the quantity of water by cleaning out old channels drainages etc that this valley would be vastly benefitted Five or six hun dred dolars spent in increasing the water supply would we imagine be more beneficial to the people of this valley than a thousand times that amount spent in law suits It will be a gloriors epoch in the history of the I country when men do not have to pay a lawyer to tel them what isnt theirs Malad Enterprise I The wool growers of Bruneau valley have combined for the purpose of re pain S thewagon road from that val ley to Deeth on the Central Pacific railroad rail-road Mr 4rthur Pence an extensive I cheep raiser of that valley who was I here a few days ago informs us that the cause of this move is simply that the Central Pacific railroad officials orI fer them miioh lower freight rates to the east and as the distance to Deeth is but little further from the wool cen 1 ter of Bruneau valley than from that point to any station on the Oregon Short Line railroad they would be I great ganers by sending their wotflx to I DeetL It is remarkably strange that the Union Pacific should be so blindto I its own interests as to let the Central Pacific pull away from their best road at least half a million pounds of Idaho I wool annually Yet it seems that the Bruneau wool growers are determined i to do so Elmlne Bulletin I A telegram from Mr James H Wal Itf at Grants Pass Oregon to his wife brings the information that he sias found
