12 THE MORNING OKEGONIAN, TUESDAY, JANUARY 20, 1903. BOISE CITY, IDAHO Well-Built Burgh and an At tractive Town. $1,000,000 IN NEW BUILDINGS Fisrure of It Railroad Traffic and General BulnenK The Source of Its Strength Con - aldered. By a Staff "Writer. BOISE. Idaho. Jan. IS. Boise, the largest city In Idaho and the center of its busi ness, political and general life, has many claims .to attention. It la practically in the middle of the state, for while onlv a few miles distant from the western bor der It Is In the district where population Is thickest and Is midway between the northern and southeastern districts. It lies Inconveniently some 18 miles east of the main track of the Oregon Short Line, but is connected with It by a stub road, and Is regularly a station on the Short Line system the largest, by the way, on the whole length of the road. But the through trains, do not run Into Boise, a change having to be made from one train to another at Nampa, the point where the stub connects with the main line. Freight cars with goods consigned to Bo!re aia cut out from the trains at Nampa and arc run without transfer of cargo into the Boise station. The city gets the same relative rates, both for passengers and freight, as points on the main line, so In a measure and ao far as possible the disadvantage of its situation off the direct road is nullified. But the In convenience to travelers is considerable. There is always the bother of going from one train to another and vexatious delays are not uncommon. On the way into Boise three days ago, I shivered on a cold platform, which I preferred to an over heated waiting-room, for something more than an hour, and my experience, I was told, is the usual thing. "Boise," snid a gentleman who lives In and loves the place to me yesterday, "Is the only livable town between Portland and Salt Lake;" and If I was not quite prepared to share his enthusiasm I could but admit that the city has many charms. It lies just north of the Boise River from which It takes Its name (pronounced Boy-zee, with the accent on the boy), on an elevated level and fairly under the eaves of a high and beautiful chain of bare mountains which half encircle it on the north and cant. It Is for this new coun try an old town, having been founded some forty and odd years ago, and has throughout Its streets fine shade trees and other marks of long establishment. And with this domestic air it has much of the bustle and stir characteristic of Spo kane and other cities in the vital Inter- mountain region. The best of Its several hotels Is all that could be wished In all its departments, and broadly speaking the little city lacks nothing of the "plant" of civilized life. One who after several day or Winter trave suddenly finds himself in Boise, warmed, bathed, decently bedded and boarded and in the brightness and space of a hotel lobby which would not discredit any city In the country easilv finds motives for Indorsing the opinion of the citizen above quoted as to the "Hva bleness" of the city. Boise Is a town of two parallel business streets, with their connecting streets; and its business district is surprisingly well nunc ana well furnished with stores of metropolitan type. And there Is another surprise when one comes to look over the icoiuence districts. Personally, I could wish that there had been a little less de votion to the candle-snuffer idea in do mestic architecture, but barring minor de lects of taste, one finds an amazing num ber of substantial, costly and really beau tlful homes. Portland has not so contin uous a row of strikingly fine dwelling houses as that which gives distinction to the wide Warm Spring avenue, which lies to the east of the business district. In the older parts of the city the homes are not so obtrusively modern or costly, but there are many which speak with equal emphasis both of wealth and taste. The population of Boise Is about 12.000. counting the new district, which lies Just beyona the municipal limits and which re sists Incorporation through the indisposi tion of certain potent citizens who don't want to get their names on the municipal tax roll. And for a place of such rela tively small population it does an enor mous business. In 1901 there was handled at the Boise railroad freight depot, count ing both "in" and "out" business, 4097 carloads of merchandise; for 1902 the fig ures were 5176, an Increase of 1079. The Tailroad revenue produced by the Boise freight and passenger business (reckoning both in and out) was for 1501 $900,000, and for 1902 $1,150,000. The figures which represent the volume t of express, postoffice and banking busi ness for the past two years are as follows: Postofflce business Total business, 1902 $L4S0 234 44 Total business, 1301 1,413 977 99 ; asked citizens of the town to explain it they frankly confess that they cannot do it. The business and the income are here there is no mistake about that but the sources of it are curiously mysterious. There arc no one. two or three dominating conditions, like those which stand clearly defined back of Portland, Spokane or Se attle, which make It certain that the fu ture of the city will be in proportion to that of the country. Its geographical po sition does not appear to be impregnable; it sits apart from the railroad and close under the lee of a mountain range; it does not appear to have any great strength In a back country. Its business comes to It for the most part by railroad and by way of Nampa, and one wonders why Nampa should not grow into a city and take the business from Boise. Indeed, people have been wondering why for 20 years; and In the Interim Boise has quadrupled her bus iness and population and Nampa remains what it was at the beginning little more than a village. Its chief Importance rest ing upon her relationship to Boise. Plaln- y, there is In Boise a strength not appar ent upon the surface of things. The best proof of it is her steady upward career and her sustained leadership In times good and bad of the general life of the state. One thing Is very clear, namely, that the city has the confidence of its own peo ple and of the people of Idaho In general. Large as has been the Investment during the past few years in heavy and perman ent Improvements, the city has not been borrower. The fine structures of brick and stone which line the two main streets are almost without exception owned by Boise men. and there are no mortgages against them. And not only docs Boise own Itself, so to speak. It has capital invested In all parts of the state, and even In the adjoining States of Oregon. "Wash ington, Utah and Montana. Attracted by I the "Hvableness" of the little city by Its sheltered "Winters and Its shaded Sum mers, the excellence of Its schools. Its fine water supply, its general wholesomeness and its social order, the well-to-do stock men and miners of the whole region roundabout have established their homes here, and regularly bring into the city the profits of their many outside enterprises. Whatever in the way of capital is accu mulated anywhero in Central or Southern Idaho is almost certain to find Its way into the coffers of Boise to become part of its permanent resource. Boise Is tho supply town both of the stockranging and mining interest of Cen tral and Southern Idaho, and It Is the jobbing point for the small mining towns which He away from the railroad In the mountain canyons to the north and east. There Is no one great and obvious line of trade, but a thousand minor ones which, taken together, make a volume of business which is manifestly sufficient not merely to maintain the city but to promote in it a prodigious growth. Much of this business Is on a noiseless kind. because It seeks to conceal rather than to exploit Itself. Mining operations, for example, contribute much to It, as the fol lowing report of business done during the past two years at the Boise Assay Office will show: Month. 1901. 1S02.

Dunbar, proprietor of the Rainier-Grand Hotel, was arrested this morning on a warrant issued on an indictment by the grand jury Dunbar conducts one of the best-known hotels In the city and one of the most exclusive, and he is charged, together with Mark Hoff and Harry Fazon, with conducting in the clubrooms of his hotel a swindling gambling game and games, The indictment was returned last Thurs. day, but not until this morning was an arrest effected, although Dunbar has been at his place of buslnses day and night since. The other two accused have not been arrested yet, but may be at any time, as they are In the city and are not trying to evade the law. The bail fixed by Judge Bell In Dun bar's case was $2000, he being allowed to go on his own recognizance. Ball, how ever, was procured by noon today, 12 prominent citizens going surety. This Is the first of the gambling indictments to be found and served. The grand Jury began its session this morning by the Investigation of small criminal cases, of which there are 30 on the court calendar. Only one witness was examined who -has to do with gambling, and that was Dr. J. S. Kloeber, of the Hot Springs, who Is alleged to have lost considerable money at the Rainier-Grand games, but who testified after Dunbar had been arrested. Today began the third week of the Jury's work and it is said that it will be a month before the ses sions are concluded. The annual shipping review of John White, of London, summarizing the de pressed condition of the freight market, holds out the hope that the future has better times in store for the British ship owner. The review says: The year 1901 closed with shipbuilding and freight in a depressed state, wmcn has been accentuated during the past year. Orders for new vessels have been com paratively few, and freights have contin ued on the down grade until they have got to the stage that, with few excep tions, they will not pay expenses. The shipbuilders' misfortune of scarcity of orders will In time work to the shipown ers' benefit; but the shipowners' present misfortune is of no advantage to the ship builder. Freights may be said to have been on the decline throughout the year. Fortu nately. America, which for the past three or four years has been exporting coal to many of our markets in the Last, boutn America, Mediterranean and Europe, and even Into our own country, has not been able to export for some time, but it has not produced any improvement of outward freights. America has also taken large supplies of pig-Iron from this country, and the demand still continues. Home ward rates have been unremuneratlve, with the exception of short-lived spurts from the Black Sea and River Platte. The low freights, with Increased working expenses In coals, stores and wages, make I It most difficult for owners to plan a voy- 1 age to leave any orofit, or. Indeed, cover expenses. Although there is notmng a present to warrant tho suggestion of an improvement In freights, we have before seen sudden changes, and It Is certain that the trade of the world cannot continue on the present restricted basis, but tho laws of supply .and demand will enforce an ex pansion which will necessitate increased ocean carriage. Competition amongst owners when wish ing to fix a boat has enabled charterers to ecure tonnage much too cheaply, and conditions of charter are accepted, espe cially by foreign owners, which enable advantage to be taken and destroy any prospect of the engagement giving any benefit to the ship. The enormous production of steamers during the past few years made Itself acutely felt directly the large tonnage, which in 1901 was 1,021,075 tons gross, em ployed In transport service, was with drawn and put Into general trading. The production of the year of our yards has been about 1,500,000 tons steamers and 4S.O00 tons sailing ships, against 1,674.500 tons steamers and 5S.265 tons sailing ships In the previous year, an appreciable de cline, which seems likely to be more than maintained In the present year. There have been removed from the British regis ter during the past year about 4S6.000 tons steamers and 160,000 tons sailing ships. These latter figures Include steamers and sailing ships sold to foreigners, which have not been extensive during the past ear. There were under construction, ac cording to the returns of Lloyd's register of shipping, at the end of Soptcmbcr last. exclusive of warships, 977,925 tons steamers and 22.9S9 tons sailing ships, against 1.393.- j 465 tons steamers and 20,655 tons sailers at the same date in the previous year. Contracts for new tonnage could now be placed at about 15 per cent reduction on the prices demanded 12 months since. A few steamers on builders hands through failure of the buyers to complete their con tracts have been sold at 15 to 20 per cent below their original prices. Second-hand steamers have also declined seriously in alue, and In cases of forced sale have realized fully 20 per cent less than their alue a year previously. To foster foreign shlpowning, bounty bills have been passed or introduced by different nations. The French new bounty law, which may be approximately put at equal to a bounty of 4 to 5 per cent on the value of the ships, came Into operation last year, but so far has not Induced many owners to make purchases. America has a shipping subsidy bill in hand, which has already passed the Senate, for American built ships. Russia has also a bounty bill, which includes provision for making ad vances to owners of half the cost of the ships. Russia has also a bounty bill. which includes provision for making ad vances to owners of half the cost of the ships, to underwrite three-fourths of the value of the ships at 2 per cent per annum. and to pay half the cost of the coal con sumed, which must be Russian coal. The cost of building in these countries to se cure the full advantage of the bounties Is so much greater than In the United King dom that a great -part of the benefit of the bounty is lost in first cost of the ship. Company, says the Nautical Gazette, now controls about 150 vessels, the combined tonnage of which, over 1.000.000 tons. Is greater than the ocean steam merchant fleet of any nation except Great Britain. Germany and France. The majority of the stock !s owned in this country, but only 16 steamers fly the American flag. Probably four-fifths of the entire tonnage Is classed under Great Britain's naval auxiliary lists, and all thess vessels could be acquired at a moment's notice by that country. Thus there Is little cause for pride on the part of the United States as a nation over the fact that this great fleet Is owned here. It Is In no wise a part and parcel of our merchant marine. Dredfrinjc In the Harbor. The Port of Portland dredge Portland has been put to work taking a few humps out of the river abreast of the Oceanic dock and the Wilcox property. This is being done at the request of the river pilots. When the work is finished the dredge will commence on the channel from the Oceanic dock to the flouring mills, S50 feet In length. The channel Is to be dredged to a depth of 25 feet and will keep the Portand busy for some time to come. ..$ 150.000 00 ..21,9S6,556 00 ..15.413.299 00 ...$6 573,257 00 ...$3,6S5.241 00 ... 2.656.55S 00 ... $1,028,653 00 ...$1,897,238 00 1.40S.100 00 Increase S 4S9.138 00 Total resources, close 1902 $4.301,6S2 00 Total resources., close 1901 3.29S.507 00 Increase $1,003,175 00 The cost of new buildings erected in 1S01, not including the amount expended on the Government building begun in that year, was $416,000. The cost of general building In 1902, not including the Govern ment building, was $9S0,000. These figures speak for themselves, and they demon strate that things are a-hum tremen dously a-hum In Bolss and in Central Idaho. " And yet. In the midst of all this activity and this manifest progress. I find myself wondering what Is back of it all. and whether it is a permanent and dependable thing. For the life of me I am not able to see the general conditions justifying all this investment in buildings and assur ing the future of the city, and when I have TWO DEAD IX EVERETT.

Four steamers load ed with coal sailed from Blyth today for America, The coal trade of Northumber land has been much stimulated by the American demand. Marine Notes. The steamship Ellerlc, lumber laden for Manila, expects to leave down the river this morning. The British bark Alice A. Leigh, 2S17 tons, which has been lying idle at Port Townsend slnco August 16, when she ar rived from Shanghai, has been chartered by the Northwestern Warehouse Company to load grain at Tacoma for Australia. The vessels sailing under the Russian flag in 1901 were classified as follows: Freight steamers, 69; freight and passen ger steamers, S3; life savers. Ice breakers and whalers. 5; not classified, 60; total, 217. Of the classified vessels, only 5. of 403S tons each, were built in Russia, and 152 of 17S.S1S tons abroad. "WRECKAGE DRIFTS ASHORE.

The steamer Queen City, from the west coast of Van couver Island, brings news that a large quantity of new lumber, mostly 12x12 and planking, has drifted ashore at several points. Esteven Point, near Hesquolt. and the islands outside Kyoquot, as well as the mouth of Quatslno Sound, are lit tered with lumber which has evidently not been long In the water, and at Hesquolt a lifebuoy with the name Irving ' on It. the port of hall being obliterated, has been found by Indians and turned over to Father Brabant, in charge of the mission there. White Star Munuirement Unchanged. NEW YORK. Jan.. 19. The White Star line apparently is retaining more of its Individuality than any other of the lines taken over by the International Mercan tile Marine Company, there being practi cally no change In the management so far, says the Tribunes London corre spondent. It is reported in Liverpool shipping circles that the White Star will at an early date take over the working of the Leyland company's new York service. so as to have all the New York business from Liverpool managed In Its office. This will leave the Leyland line the Boston service to Liverpool and Manchester and the West Indies service, the Liverpool Philadelphia trade being worked by the American line. Some low rates are being accepted from Continental ports to the United States and Canada for Spring and Summer shipments. One contract just reported closed for rails, Antwerp to Mon treal, is stated to have been fixed by the International Mercantile Marine Company for regular steamers at 7 shillings a ton.

ControlK r Million Tonx. i. The International Mercantile Marine Federal Supreme Conrt Rendcru Sweeping Decision. "WASHINGTON, Jan. 19. The United States Supreme Court again passed on the validity of divorces granted In South Dakota to nonresldenta The case was that of Annie Andrews vs. Kate H. An drews and the question at Issue Is that as to which Is entitled to administer upon the estate of Charles S. Andrewe, whom both women claimed as husband. The record shows that Mrs. Kate An drews was the first wife and that her husband secured a divorce In South Da kota after remaining there six months, the time required by the statute of that state. The Massachusetts courts held that the decree had been fraudulently secured and, refusing to recognize It. rec ognized the first wife as the legal widow of the deceased. That was the holding of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts and to day's opinion, which was delivered by Justice "White, affirms that holding. He paid that Andrews residence In the state of South Dakota did not constitute legal domicile. The case arose out of the fact that Mr. "Andrews' father. Charles S. An drews, bequeathed certain properties to "the wife of my son, Charles S. An drews." Justices Brewer, Shlras and Peckham dissented. In passing on the case. Justice "White discussed at some length the question whether the Federal Constitution Is In volved In any way in the cise. He held thnt this could not be, for the reason that the general Government never had any power over marriages to delegate, control over marriages always having been vest ed In the states and never parted with by them. Hence there Is no power that Congress could exercise to regulate or prohibit divorces and it must follow that, unless the several states were permitted to control tho subject of divorce among their citizens, the subject would be en tirely uncontrolled, in which case the absolute destruction of society must be the result. As Mr. Andrews had been a citizen of Massachusetts the courts of that state had jurisdiction and not the courts of another state. It was evident, he went on. that Andrews' six months' residence in South Dakota had been takCn up for the purpose of securing a divorce. That temporary change of residence did not amount to domicile, nor to a change of citizenship. For this reison he held that the South Dakota court was without jur isdiction In the divorce proceedings and Its decree was wholly void. Nor did it mat ter if there had been a' compromise with the first Mrs. Andrews and if she had been induced to consent, for a money consideration, as had been alleged. The fact was that the case was one for the Massachusetts courts nnd not for tho South Dakota courts and they could not be deprived of their power by this means. juiilr.o Holmes took no part in the de- IIIIP I I III ITI7 1 rf-MWisffSktS Hi S- Fit rcimnMTii-imni;inmMm;M3mimmimmmnnTnffl dW Mm i $mw m till l 111 IP Delicately formed and gently reared, women will find, in all the seasons of their lives, as maids or wives or mothers, that the one simple, wholesome remedy which acts gently and pleasantly and naturally, and which may be used with truly beneficial effects, under any conditions, when the system needs a laxative is Syrup of Figs. It is well known to be a simple com bination of the laxative and carminative principles of plants with pleasant, aromatic liquids, which are agreeable and refreshing to tho taste and acceptable to the system when its gentle cleansing is desired. Many of the ills from which women suffer are of a transient nature and do not come from any organic trouble and it is pleasant to know that they yield so promptly to the beneficial effects of Sj'rup of Figs, but when anything more than a laxative is needed it is best to consult the family physician and to avoid the old-time cathartics and loudly advertised nos trums of the present day. TVhen one needs only to remove the strain, the torpor, the congestion, or similar ills, which attend upon a constipated condi tion of the system, use the true and gentle remedy Syrup of Figs and enjoy freedom from the depres sion, the aches and pains, colds and headaches, which are due to inactivity of tho bowels. Only those who buy the genuine Syrup of Figs can hope to get its beneficial effects and as a guar antee of the excellence of the remedy the full name of the company California Fig Syrup Co. is printed on the front of every package and without it any preparation offered as Syrup of Figs is fraud ulent and should be declined. To those who know the quality of this excellent laxative, the offer of any substitute, when Syrup of Figs is called for, is always resented by a transfer of patronage to some first-class drug establishment, where they do not recommend, nor sell false brands, nor imitation remedies. The genuine article may be bought of all reliable druggists everywhere at 50 cents per bottle. ' Ma r'msr i
