Salmon River Mining company Is preparing pre-paring to atari up its mill with lots to do There are no cheep Jn our section but there are many good cattle which arc all doing well But our people are banking a good deal on the building of the Idaho Midland road whose line lies through our place Mr Bates with a party of mining engineers and capitalists capi-talists have been through the Salmon City country looking Into the possibilities possibili-ties of the parts of the State lying along the proposed line and as they seemed to bo favorably Impressed with the prospects for local business there arc greater hopes thun ever of the roads coming through An Immense tonnage awaits Its udvinU General business hi a commercial way Is promising although we are seventyone miles from the Short Line at Red Rock There has been no freezing freez-ing weather and plenty of moisture so that the stockmen and the farmers are happy Tlia wheat and oat crops ought to be extra good this year And then new settlers are steadily coming In and the lands are being taken up Yes everything looks good for Idaho There are fully fifty cars of cattle coming Into Salt Lake today and tomorrow to-morrow said Charles J Barth of Den vei at the Cullen last night on arrival from a purchasing trip to Nevada L have 6CO head oi yearlings bought from Mason at Decth and Conant at Kelton all going to Rifle M K

Corona Colo The movement of cattle eastward promises to become quite lively this spring and make tire Salt Lake stockyards lively oca This Is the first mud I have seen sInce leaving Iowa for southern California Cali-fornia months ago remarked T W Williams last night at tIre Walker and It begins to be a novelty for the country seems to be all burning up down on the coast I noticed plenty of moisture in Nevada but there was not enough cold to I do any damage u 0 S The opposition to vaccination In Salt Lake Is something that la not understood un-derstood in Colorado whore the time honored preventive is In general and respected use said A B Spencer of Denver at the Knutsford yesterday Our Denver Health department sent notices to all the city school districts early In the spring Hint beginning with a certain day the medical inspectors of the department would begin nn examination ex-amination of nchool children to secure a general vaccination and this has been successfully carried out A few parents objected but their objections were Ineffectual There Is no such thing In Colorado as an antivaccination nccoclatlon such as I am told you have In Salt Lake An organization of that charac till would not live very long In DenS Vor S fe 0 In four seasons there have not been four inches of rain in southern California Califor-nia said R S Hamilton of Helena at tho Walker yesterday on his return from a const trip with Mrs Hamilton In northern California things look all right especially In the central and northern central parts of the State Rul I In l Iho I smith oAt Irmihlv In I the Knti t uubrlcl valley the prospects were very doleful Lucky Baldwins ranch Is In poor shape nnd about the only place where I saw much of anything going on In the way of business activity was at Tituss much where Mexican women were cleaning and packing oranges S tan Diego has a line harbor and climate cli-mate But there Is nothing for a laboring labor-Ing man to do there In fact there was a great dearth of them In town I went over the line Into old Mexico Abajo California and couldnt see enough vegetation to keep a Jackrabbit Jackrab-bit alive There Is no water BO that while the soil will bear most anything 1C water Is only got to it barrenness is spread everywhere now that the diought has been on so long If there is no rainfall by another season there will be danger of a general falling down of the orange crop 5 S 0 e Idont take any stock in the reports about the water In Chicago harbor being be-ing lowered a foot by the opening of the great drainage canal said Capt II O Rose at the Manllou yesterday The water in the harbor Is always IOVVIM in the spring than at other limes of the year and the regular low water taken In conjunction with tire canal opening msphed the report The canal has been emptying Into the Illinois river and Into the Mississippi now for several inonMis and I have not hoard of any epidemic In St Louis or In fact any wellgrounded complaint because of this alleged pollution of the big river There Is no reason why the Illinois Illi-nois rlvor should not be dredged and navigation opened to Chicago from New Orleans But the State will have to do it I dont believe the Government will Then speaking of lake navigation the Captain said There has really been no appreciable lowering of Lake Michigan and the big boats are passing through lie Sou without scraping their bottoms But the limit in the slvc of boat building hasbeen reached for lake vessels are now the size of ocean liners Navigation on the lakes Is always al-ways more dangerous than on the ocean bacauoe In the latter case you have seL room and can run before a gale Try that on the lakes and the llrst thing you know you arc landed on some mans farm On Lake Superior you may be out of sight of land for two or three days but even there great euro Is necessary In a fogS fog-S 0 Prof Dean C Worcester United States Philippine commissioner and family left yesterday for San Fran olseo after a pheasant stopover In Salt Lake On being askod as to Gen Lau tons being held back at San Isldro before the last rainy season when he wanted to move forward and end the struggle the professor remarked I am ready to believe that had Gen Lawton been allowed to start north at that time he would have brought the rebellion rebel-lion to c speedy termination But this was no doubt one of those Instances where ones hindsight Is better than his foresight Moreover had there been a large American army In the Philippines at the time of lie outbreak In front of Manila the Filipino army could hao been stampeded and wiped out in three tree ks American forbearance led the natives na-tives to regard the newcomers as cowards cow-ards More so even than ChInese FO that their open boast was that they would drive us Into the sea without dimculty But It did not take long to learn the difference between lighting Spaniards and fighting Americans Ono very hopeful sign Is the growing grow-ing disposition of the peaceful natives to assist tlw United States troops In detecting de-tecting and arresting bogus amigos InMurrectora who hide their guns In bamboos and their unIforms In the brush un the approach of AmerIcans only to tnk them out agnln Inter and resume hostilities niche fellows have boon raiding natives us well as for signers and the Filipinos thcmwlves I will ndt endure It longer So they 1051 tour t-our troops and nin < iri nt captures are made This materially cxpttlUo mat trs and sate lives trouble and expense ex-pense |
