On traveling through this country,
where sheep are raised extensively, you
can gee among other strange things men
sitting on rocks among the mountains,
or lolling upon the hillside, going crazy
as fast as the eternal blegting of the sheep
and their isolated Te ach them.
Well, to say the least. this is a good
country. What we want is for capital
to come in and develop our mines. Ag-
ricultural land is very scarce, but the
mountains. are fnll of mineral-—copper, {a
gold and silver. Times are getting bet-
ter bere every year, and I think that if
this congress can find time between tink-
ering with the tariff to suit the manufae-
turers ut the expense of the people, and
donating money to Wall Street to pass
the Free Coinage bill, Idaho will see
prosperous times next year.

IDAHO LETTER.
From a Salisbury Boy Who is Seeking a
Fortune in the Far West.
Couxcrr, VALLEY, Ip.. Dec. 3d, 1891.
Eprror STAR: —Yours of the 16th ult,
“is before me. Was much surprised and
pleased to hear from yon—surprised at
your ever having thought of one so re-
mote from vour present situation, and
pleased, as I always am, to receive even
4 line from one who lieads his welcome
epistle * ‘Elk Lick.”
What pleasant recollections come to
me as I sit dreaming of the happy times
we used to have gathering chestnuts from
the surrounding hills, skating on old Flog
Pond, raiding the outskirts of some un-
suspecting sugar-maker’s camp, tying tin
cans to the tail of some male bovine who
. was unlucky enough to venture so far
within the limits of tlie town, orof a thou-
sand other acts wherein we found enjoy-
ment. Those were indeed happy days,
* but they are forever gone.
Of that happy band of juveniles who
“once played upon the same sward and sat
together in the same school room are now
to be found in most every quarter of
‘Uncle Sam's” domain. Even the writer
Of this may be found more than two
thousand miles nearer (7) the setting sun,
in the land of the sage and the coyote,
trying to tear a living from the surface
of a quarter-section of Idaho's most raw
and unimproved land.
Don’t think that life here among the
mountains, though ever so remote from
the sound of the locomotive, is lacking
in interest or amugement. Here is the
home of one of the most interesting speci-
mens of the Genus Homo—tlie prospector.
He is eternally hunting for something he
‘can’t find. He i$ usually one who went
to the ‘Golden state” in ’49 or the 50s,
dug fortunes from the earth and squan-
dered them, followed all the places of ex-
_citement to the end and is now, like the
Jew of mythology, wandering from the
"Rockies to the Pacific and from the isth-
mus ‘to the Arctic, in the vain hope of
finding another California,
‘will see him at some supply station lay-
: ¥ ing in a supply of the necessaries of life,
tomorrow you may find him thirty or
‘more miles from a human habitation, in
© the darkest recesses of the mountains,
washing a pan of dirt by some sparkling
“stream, or hammering away, like a lone-
ly ‘woodpecker, upon the summit of a
“quartz ledge.

ing this peculiar life earns the *‘grub” he

BEATTYS PIANOS AND ORGANS,
Hon. Daniel F. Beatty, the great Organ and
Piano manufacturer, is building and shipping
more Organs and Pianos than ever. In 1870 Mr.
Beatty left home a penniless plow-boy, and by
his indomitable will he has worked his way up
so as to sell so far, nearly 100,000 of Beatty’s Or-
gans and Pianos since 1870. Nothing seems to
dishearten him; obstacleslaid in his wav, that
would have wrecked any ordinary man forever,
he turns to an advertisement and comes out of it
brighter than ever. . His instruments, as is well
known, are very popular and are to be found in
all parts of the world. We are informed that
during the next ten years he intends to sell
200 000 more of his make. that means a business
of $20,000,000 if we average them at $100 each.
It is already the largest business of the kind in
existence —Send to Daniel F'. Beatty, Washing-
