) INTHE MOUNTAINS SHADOWS. The Beautiful and Romantic Sur- roundings of Idaho's Capital. ARCHITECTS OF HER GREATNESS. Irrigation and Cultivation of the Land ~The Mining Regions—The Exposi- tion—Hot Springs—The Rose- ate Future. Boise the Beauntifal, Approaching Boise City,the traveller etosses the sage brush plains, and stunds at last on the bluff overlooking the vailey, the river and the city. Lev him once behold, under the clear sun- light of Tdaho, the giant mountains as they form a massive background to the city’s fair outline, and a scene of beauty will be stamped upt \ his memory never to be effaced. Ten \iles to the right are the great w.lls of the famed Boise Canon through which the swift flowing river, bhidding farewell to the mountains, emerges to give its fertility to the plains. Great hillsand cloud tipped peaks follow fn succession as his gaze turns westward, the wonderful chaia bending to the north to make room at its feet for the city of Boise, and its outlying farms and orchards. Further still to the west are the hills where pine groves and tiny springs abound; and the people of the valley by scores come up for summer camp. The city itself is buried in trees; and if in ‘eastern Nebraska you have seen your last grove, and sped for more than a thousand miles over the dry plains wondering for what the sage brush desect was created, the orchards and gardens of Boise will have a sig- nificance in their beauty that never oceurred to the traveler before. While other mountain towns have accepted barrenness as the natural condition of things, the ploneers of Boise have made a successful fight for trees and flowers, That massive building in the center of the picture—the largest in the inner- mountuin region built for any purpose —is the pub school, containing over six hundred pupilsand possible capacity for two humh'vh more. [tisan index of what they are in Idaho; that the scehool house comes before the opera house, or the grand hotel, or any other sreat structure in which the people ake pride. Next fo it stands the beau- tiful capitol building, built by these Idahoans, who couldn’t wait in patience for a government appropriation, and adjoining that is & county court house which cost $60,000 when the county had but 7,000 inhabitants. The bell and tower to the south of the court house crown our eity hall. On the upper flo {s.the sounotl chamber, and & beauti- fully furnished library and reading room. On the lower floor is a steam fire engine of the latest puttern. Look over your state und see if youcan find a single town. which, before it had 3,000 inhabitants, was and is the owner of a éity hall, publie library, steam fire en- gine and fire depurtment appratus, which cost $20,000. Hore is located also the United States fice, doing a business last year 65,32 in_the precious métals taken from the adjacent mining camps. So near that we hear the sound of their bugles, are the United States army barracks, whose blue-coated occupants cause between $15,000 and $20,000 to be disharsed in Boise City monthly. Just at the base of the mountain is the United States penitentiary, another gource of profit to our merchants, who furnish the supplies. Among the sects that jostie one an- other on the road to the *‘Gates Ajar,” e Episcopalians, Roman Catholics, ?.{n tists, Methodists and Presbyterians, each having comfortably furnished church buildings. Here also are the department headqurrters of tho Grand Ar of the Republic, with Patrick Collins post No, 4 having sixty-four members, Thoe Masons afe roprosented 1h two lodges; a_chapter and a com- anflery. The Indeépendent Order of d Fellows have two _ lodges, While the Ancient Opder ~ of E,“ed ‘Workmen, Knights of Labor, nights of Pythias, Knights of Honor afid other fraternities are sustained #hd while the town has not ‘“‘gone dry,’ as witfiess thirteen saloons, yet the tem- rance societies, such as the Good ‘emplars, the Women's Christian Tem- ance unfon and bthers abound. Fx e City 1s Also the Hbadquarters for h% Idaho Pioneer society, the Idaho Bible society, the Idaho S. S. @ssocia- $iuh and other similar bodies, . BOISE BOARD OF TRADE. The Boise City board of trade was or- ganized nearly one year ago. 1ts object V% to bfll_l# to ‘the atfention of the ublic the commeréial, agrichltural and ining interests of Boise Chq and the r-l\mwrx country; to form a “free par- inment” for the discussion of public in- terests, and to concentrate public senti- ment upon such measures as would facilitate the development and increase the wealth of southwest 1daho. Their work has justified their anticipations. There is & more cordial co-operation among our citizens, a generous finan- ciul support has been given te public enterprises approved by the board, and gevuine progress is observed in all ai- rections. ew highways have been built; a great impetus has been given to our mining enterprises; telephone com- munication has been established with Wistant mining camps; reduced tariffs have been secured over the railways, g fi:d 85,000 maps and pamphlets have en distributed throughout the United States, showing the growth and pros- pects of the capital city of Idaho. One hundred of the foremost citizens form the boara of trade. The directors are as follows: James A. Pinney, pres- ideat: Peter Sonna, vice-president; John Huntoon, treasurer; Joseph Per- rault, recording secretary; Charles A. Clark, R. Z. Johnson, Nathan Falk, H. . Lastman, Edward Shainwald, John . Lamb and David Heron. Hon. Silas w. Moode-, territorial superintendent of public instruction, is the correspond- ing secretary of the d. resident Pinney was !or;nerl{ mayor, and has beon a persistent, faithful and successful leader in almost every enter- prise for the advancement of Boise City. He is engaged in the book and stationery business under style of James A. Pinney & Co. Peter Sonna is the xaunu wholesale and retail hardware dealer; a director in the First National bank, and a most generous, public-spirited citizen. He is chairman of the committee on rail- roads, and untiring in his efforts to enlarge Boise's railway facilities. Hon. John Huntoon is cashier of the Fivst National bank—a position he has filled with fidelity and honor for meny years, Hon. Joseph Parrault was formerl territorial treasurer, He is vice-presi- dent of the Idaho Commercial com- pan, .lad o large owner in various water com 8. Charles A. Clark is superintendont of the Bguhu-og'. Mercantile agency for . Hon. R. Z. Johnson is attorney-gen- eral for Tdaho, and is one of the ablest members of the bar of the Pacifie coast, Nathan Falk is the senior member of the firm of N. Falk & Bro., whole- sale and retail general merchandise dealers, doing the largest business in their line in [daho territory. H. B. Eastman is of the firm of BEast- man Bros., proprietors of the Overland hotel; he is also a director in _the Boise City National bank; a leading mail contractor, and one of the owners of the California, Idaho and Oregon Stage company. R('lwnr-\ Shainwald is of the firm of Shainwald Bros., wholesale and retail general merchandise dealers— a young business man of tireless energy and en- terpr vhlnhn M. Lamb is of the firm of Brum- back & Lamb. lawy collectors, un- derswriters and dealers in real es- tate David Heron is a farmer, stock raiser pitalist; now a county commis- and frequently honored by his fellow-citizens with positions of import- ance and responsibility. The directors meet on the first and third Tuesdays of each month. THE IDAHO CENTRAL. The Idaho Central connects Boise City with the Oregon Short Line at Nampa. Two trains run daily, meet- ing trains on the main line. No. 1 leavos Nampa at 1 p. m., after the ar- rival of trains on the main line from hoth cast and west, and arrives at Boise City at 2 p. m. Tr No. 2 leaves Boise City at8 a. m., arriving at Nampa at 9 u, m., connecting with trains 3 and 4 on the Oregon Short Line. Both the Oregon Short Line and the Idaho Cen- tral are controlled by the Union Pa- cific. The Tdaho Centraldepot is beautifully located on the bluffs overlooking Boise Valley, one mile south of the city. The grounds have been platted as South Boise, and besides the railway build- ings, an eating house and several ware- houses are located there. " From the de- pot a magnificent view of the moun- taing, river, valleys, farms, gardens and orchards is obtained. In the Boise City National bank block elegant offices have been fitted up for the Idaho Central railroad, and for the Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone com- pany. Here will be found Mr. John Tunter, the manager,and his staff of assistants, There is every prospect that at an early date the Idaho Central will be extended southwest to Snake river, and thus give the greatest im- petus to the development of that great agricultural and placer mining valley; and also northeast up Boise valley and Moore’s creek, through the gold and silver regions of Boise county. This will give the Idaho Central a magnifi- cent business, and make Boise City the center of the mountain railway system, now being developed from many direc- tions. BOTSE'S YOUNG BUSINESS MEN. The Kpstein & Logan firm is the youngest of Boise’s general merchan- dise concerns as at present constituted. Mr. Epstein _had previously been in business in Idaho’s beautiful capital, but Mr. Logan had never before entered trade. Leonard Logan is a fair speci- men of the young men who have been reared in the shadow of the mountains; shrewd, self-contained, thorough—he has needed no guardianship. Mr. Ep- stein has grown up in mercantile sur- roundings, and isan honor td Boise’s roll of business mon. J. Orville Baker, who recently com- menced as a dealer in men’s furnishing goods, has “learned his trade” in Idaho. He wus for a long time in the employ of Hon. James A. Pinney, and was taught gystem,economy and watchfulness there. Later he was in trade with a partoer in a neighboring town; but when he had thus ‘‘tried his wings,” and learned the great principle of self-reliance, he re. turned to Boise City, as the only town in Idaho now having metropolitan pros- pects. The Boise drug trade is entirely in the hands of young men. Riden- baugh is under thirtyy has had all bhis mercantile training in Idaho, and is having a splendid business. Messrs. Meyers & Boomer started in 1887. Mr. Meyers is one of the best practical druggists on the Pacific doast; Mr. Boomer is a son of the most enterpris- ing ftage and express manager known fo mountain history; the son has barelfl attained his majority, but- he is Unite States internal revenue collector as well as agent for the Pacific Expfess company, and {s filing his responsible positions laithfully. The Boise City National bank, under the excellent management of Mr, Al- fred Eoff, has in two years attained the front rank in Idaho’s banking busi- ness. Mr. Eoff nas the appefirance of a young man, looks and works like a oung man, easily passes for about wenty-nine, but it seems8 a ‘“‘give away” when he wears the badge of the Grand Army, and the records show he was a member of Co. G, 18t Colorado cavalry, in 1865, but patriotd matured early in those days. The largest owner of Boise City real estate is Mr. John B. Broadbent, the eminent jeweler. Mr, Broadbent has familiarized himself with the progress and prospects of all the mountain cities, and after most careful examination be- came satisfied that Boise would in the end show the greatest stability and the steadiest growth. He has shown his faith by his investments. No one buys more persistently or pays better prices than Mr. Brond{cnl, is income from rents is conuu&ntly increasing, and shows the wisdom of his course. He has been a most liberal contributor to meritorious public enterprises. The firm of F. R. Coffin & Bro., deal- ers in hardware and agricultural imple- ments, whose headquarters occupy one of the best business corners in the cen- ter of Boise Clu{ is under the manage- ment of Frank R. Coftin, who came out from Towa about twenty years ago. He started with but moderate capital, but he had energy and good hard sense, and was newver afraid to work. His trade extended to every mining camp within a hundred miles, Now that he has passed the financial anxieties of life he finds himself at middle age in possession of health, a clear head, a choice home, a taste for social life and g:od reading, and has every reason to thankful that he ‘‘struck out” for the mountain wilderness just when he J. . 'he development of the excellent school system, which is such an honor to Boise Cit; .‘s largely due to the efforts of Hou. C, &’ Meore. Few men have the time or inclination to take up a reat educational interest and ‘“‘sta; §y it” tillit matures into full power an usefulness, Mr. Moore controls many important interests, having under his charge cattle ranges and herds of at value; is mail contractor, owner n stage, express and freight lines,bank divector, etc., but none of these things keep him from sharing in all move- ments for the advancement of Boise 8:3 and Ada county.

People who visit Mr. D. Spiegel’s mercantile establishment, covering over 2,500 square feet of floor room, can hardly realize thatit is buta_ brief period since all he owned could have heen piled on a hand-cart. But that's the way business grows in the mountain country in competent hands. Persons removing to Boise City and desiving to send property in advance ean safoly place their goods in the care of Mr. N. . Kimball. A veteran sol- dier, who put in three of his best yearsin the service of his country, is apt to be a trustworthy man anywhore. Kim- ball served in the 125th Illinois regi- ment. Boise’s post of the Grand Army &l"nt Collins No. 4),is under command of Major G. W. Brumm. That patriotic Pennsylvanian is in the jewelry busi- ness in Boiso City,and is a public spirited, liberal and progressive citizen. The wholesale trade of Boise City is growing. Within a few weeks the A. P. Hotaling company, of San Fran- cisco, Portland and Seattle, has stocked a branch house in Boise, and alveady is receiving orders from all parts of southern and eastern Idaho. The annual business transactions of the town now reach $3,500,000. 1t is the older citizens of Boise who have the greatest confidence in its fu- ture development, This has been for Idaho a dull year: but that has made no difference with Mr. Peter Sonna, whose new buiiding, 50x123 feet, and 50 high, costing $20,000, is nearly com- pleted. It will be finished in better style than any other business structure in the territory. Bois leading hotel, the “Overland,” is undergoing rebuild- ing; the old hotel cannot be even tem- porarily epared, as it is always crowded with guests; hence the rebuilding is in sections. One-sixth of the new Over- land has just peen completed at if cost of $15,000, and shows what a magnifi- cent structure the whole will finally be. This hotel is not a subscription affair, but is owned by Eastman Bros., who are putting in the qroms of many years’ prosperity, and will give Boise- City eventually the finest hotel between Omaha and Portland. IRRIGATION AND GOVERNMENT LANDS, More than one hundred and seventy- five thousand acres of government land near Boise City have been enterod during the past two years. Much more Wouldl have been en- tered, but settlers are dwaiting the completion of the irrigation canals. Forty thousand acres, within twenty- five miles of Boise City, are still open to entry, but water cannot be provided before the spring of 1889, No govern- ment lands can be secured by purchase only; settlement or cultivation are re- quired. Farms can be purchased at 810 to $40 per acre, according to the value of im- provements and accompanying water rights. The Boise river is depended upon to furnish water to irrigate half a million acres of land. The Tand lies south of the river; but little is yet under cultiva- tion, and about half of it still held by the government, subject to entry by ac- tual settlers. Enough has been cultiva- ted to show thatafter moderate irriga- tion it is not excelled in productiveness by any land in the United States. Ten miles above the city the Idaho Mining and Irrigation company com- mences its work, [t is said that $100,000 has been expended by this company in plans, surveys, legal preparation, e and that means have been provided the actual construction of the canal. Its plan is broad and comprehensive. Its line follows the highest ground from Boise river southwest to Snake river, thirty-five miles. Its branches follow the mnatural channels or ‘‘dry creeks.” Its total extent will be over one hundred miles, and it will provide water for 800,000 acres. It is hoped that this magnificent enterprise will be pushed to completion speedily. The Ridenbaugh ditch commences about six miles above the city, and nourithes valuable farms for about fifteen miles. It passes close to the edge of the plains lying above the city, and is easily conveyed to points where o fall of sixty feet is obtained, furnish- ing an enormous water-power at a mini- mum cost. Mills and factories will doubtless yot line the south bank of Boise river, receiving their motive power from this useful canal, Below the city about six miles the settlers’ ditch is taken eut of the river. This will provide water for abouttwenty thousand acres of the choicost lands, The Payette Canal and Irrigating company’s enterprise consists of two large irrigating canals, which take the water from the Payette river about five miles above the town of Emmett, one canal conducting the water to the north side and the other to the south side of the river. Thesé canals will irrigate about, 230,000 acves of as fortile farming land as can be found on the Pacific slope. is project has several im- portant teatures and advantages, one of which is the facility it will afford for floating 1ogs and lumber down h-o*n the river above. Along the line of the caual, at desired points, the water can be used for driving saw-mills and ma- chinery. A large foree of men will soon be put to work on this enterprise, and thousands of beautiful homes will spring upasif by magicalong the pictur- esque Payette, = Senator Wade, of Ohio, predicted in the United States senate, some twenty years ago, that by 1600 every acre of good agricultural land in the Union would be worth at least $50. The Payetto is one of the few remain- ing beautiful tracts of virgin prairie 1and that awaits the pioneer settler. Just as rapidly as water is assured, set- tlers are waiting to take these lands. They are nowminally only worth the gov- ernment price, $1.25 per acre. But as soon as water is accessible the land is worth 810 per acre. The settlers buy ermanent interests in the d:zohes as far u8 possible, and these rights vary so much in value that guotations are hardly practicable, Where water is hired by the year, $1 for supply of each acre of land actually cultivated is the usual price. No surer or more profita- ble opening for permanent investment of capital gould b lound than in the ir- rigatlog ditch system, e traveler over the hills and plains of 1daho, seeing the land in its natural state, would probably judge that his chances for growing a head of cabbage on the roof of a house were just asgood as in the surrounding soil. Yet he will find surrounding Boise City, miles and miles of orchards, gardens and flelds. On one side of a fence is the most Tuxu- riant herbage; on the other side soil al- most as barren as a roadway. The “'sage-brush” lands have all - the elements of a soil richer than the prairies of ll‘lnohexupt one—moisture alone is lacking.

MINING REGION During the last three years the mines adjacent to Boise City have produced about $44,000,000. The city may fairly claim as directly tributary to it the vast rogion drained_ by the Hoise, Payette, Bruneau and Weiser rvivers, within which are situated the rich camps of Kocky Bar, Silver mountain, Atlanta, Pine Grove, Sheep'mountain, Deadwood Basin and others, among which are Sil- ver City and Wagontown whose prod- uct and whose prospects flare with- out parallel. Then too there is the Banner district with veinsof surpassing richness and the world-famed Quartz- burg, mines which have steadily pro- duced gold for years, located in the Boise Basin out of which have been taken millions, and adjoining which is the Central Gold Hill System and the Towa Ledge that, when fairly opened, will more than equal the Quartzburg roup. The Central Idaho gold mining istrict within a few miles of the lat- ter group has been a rich ‘producer and its bullion still comes in steady con- signments. The relations of all the miners and traders inhabiting the grand mountain region around Boise City are intimate and_constant, with no rival to change the intercourse or divert the trade. Beginning October 9, Boise City will have an EXPOSITION, where a rare opportunity will be af- forded for the strimger to learn of Ida- ho’s real wealth in agriculture, mining and commorce, and to verify all that her citizens claimin her pi BOISE HOT SPRINC The time is not far distant when the hot springs will“attract thousands of visitors to Boise City. They stream from the mountains by a dozen outlets, at. the Hot Spring ranch, five miles east of the town. Bathing facilities are already provided, but they are totally inadequate to the demand. Recently the property was purchased by M. F. Leech, superintendent. of the Alturas gold mines, Rocky Bar, but he will not be able to construct a hotel of sufficient capacity this year. By the opening of another season, it is hoped that hotel, bath rooms, open lakes, parks and cot- tages for invalids will be ready. The most of these springs are at boiling heat; afew are of lower temperature. Physicians commend their medical properties in the very highest terms. For all forms of rheumatism they prob- ably exceed in value the famous Arkan- #as hot springs, and far outrank the warm springs of California. A railroad from Boise City to the springs has been surveyed and will un- doubtedly be built. ut the carriage drive to the Springs is very attractive. The scenery is magnificent. Groves, farms, orchards, the river, mountain views and valle{ verdure, make every Inrt of the way interesting and inspir- ng. THE FUTURE. The Boise people are looking for the extension of the Chicago & Northwest- ern railroad, being in the direct line of its march to the wostern const. The extension of the Montana Central will touch upon its route more prosperous money making towns than are reached by any one rallway of equal length in the United States. The building of the Oregon Pacific means the development of a long neglected but valuable portion of the inter-mountain district. The ex- tension of the Nevada Central to Boise ;‘l‘t‘{ would increase its population ten- o] The necessities of commercial life de- mand the building of these roads. They will develop the wealth of these moun- tains till Idaho will be the richest state in the Union. The budiness awaiting them will make them profitable from the first day their trains will run. They will not cost anything like the sum which men estimate; competent engi- neers can find routes entirely lmwflcn- ble and comparativelyinexpensive. The investigations now begun will continue and will develop into action, till Boise City is the centre of the most com- plete railroad system on the continent. i Vigor and Vitality Are quickl{{glvan to every ‘n\r!. of the body by Hood’s' Sarsaparilla.

P THE COMMISSIONERS' WORK. They Put the cm““i,l Officers in a Stew For Help. The last two meetirtgs of the county com- missioners have been of more than ordinary interest to the county, Sheriff Coburn, Clerk Roche and Register of Deeds Megeath. They limited the number of his clerks to five in County Clerk Roche's oftice. That gentieman asked for an additional force to assist in the work, and the request was denied. Mr, Roche says unless he has a number of additional men he cannot complete the lsts before October 1, when, according to law, they must all be in or else the tax canuot be collected. The commissioners have eéven gone 8o far as to say that the five elerks allowed will not be for any extra time. In mkln%ont the ists for last year it required eight or ten men to accomplish the work, and during the last few days before the time for the lists to tin, the force worked night and d:{. were returned to the clerk about two weeks earlior u year ago than they this year.

An example of this can be seen from the fact that Boges' addition to this city, which, in last year's lists required only one line, requires in this yoar's lists over one thousand two hundred lines. A number of such increases are found and the books show entries of over fifty-eight thousand pieces of property this year while a year ago there were not over 50,000, Drink Maito at soda fountain, Happiness The foundation of all happiness is health.

How They Are Striving to Satisfy De- mands on Them. It has been reported and on reliable au- thority that Storz & Iler will, before fall, begin the erection of a new brewery on Sherman avenue, in the vicinity of the Omabha Milling and Elevator company’s building, two blocks north of Nicholas street. 'The structure is to be a mammoth one and will front on the avenue, with car tracks in the rear. Further north, on the same street, the paper mill is progressing satisfactorily, the first story having been finished on Suturday. The capacity of the Willow Springs distil- lery has been ordered increased by the trust and an engine of 100 horse hower is now being put in for the purpose. Theold engine was considerably less powerful, Four of the boilers have been supplied with patent gas burning machinery and the other four are s0on to be equipped in the same mauner. fabaii> 2t I cheerfully recommend Red Clover Tonic tothoso suffering from troubles of the stomach und liver.

Two Polish laborers, named Michael Sarofin and Joseph Cosmerski, while en- gaged in paving Leavenworth street near Twentieth yesterday afternoon, had a slight misunderstanding over some trivial matter and Cosmerski became perfectly insane with anger. Seizing a spade he struck Sarofin a number of wicked blows, any one of which would have crushed his skull had they hit the top of his head where they were aimed. As it was they did horrible ex- ecution. One blow which struck Sarofin in the faco split his left, cheel open from the corner of his eye to the chin, cutting clear into his mouth and ex- aniug his choek bone and tecth. It wasa idoous sight. Another blow struck him on the loftarm und broke oneof the bones. Cosmerski fled. A warrant was issued for his arrest, butup toa late hour the police were unable to find lim. Sarofin was taken to the police station and an hour or so later his wounds were dressed. He is a badly used up man, His assailant has the reputa- ion of being a very dangerous man, Teeth that masticate well Are a blessing indeed. But unless from all tartar They're speedily freed.
