od and B ad. late number of the Chimney Corner contains a striking likeness of Hon. Erastns W ells, one of the most popular gentlemen in the lower house of Congress. The sketch of his career also given, shows how successfully Mr. Wells fought his way up from a stage and omnibus driver to his present high position, he being also one of the most weal thy and influential residents of the ‘ Future Great City.’ This seems, by the way, not an inappropriate place to^ refer to a little incident in Mr. W ells’ early career in St. Louis, in which the present Chief Magistrate of this Nation figured conspicuously. More than twenty years ago, one ter ribly cold and stormy night in Jan uary, Mr. TFells was driving his stage home from Carondelet, (near which burg farmer Grant then lived) to St . Louis a distance of seven miles. On the road Mr. W . met a horse and country wagon proceeding leisurly along without a driver. He next discovered lying on the roadside, the debris of whac appeared as a small stock of groceries. Further on he espied what afterwards proved to be a good size,old fashioned brown jug; the cork was out and there was the very best evidence that the aforesaid jug had very recently contained some whiskey. The last object, fur ther on and only a short distance from that point, Mr. Wells discov ered was the body of a man lying on the side of the road. Jumping from his stage he found the owner of the wagon reposing comfortably in a snow-bank slightly “ under the wea ther” from having imbibed too free' ly of the contents of his brown jug. Mr. Wells, thinking the man might perish if left there all night, took him on to his stage, picked up the things along the road, and landed the farmer and his traps safely at home some miles distant. This is no imaginary sketch. The individ ual thus taken care of is now the President of these United States,and the incident aptly illustrates the marvellous changes that occur in the career of men who rise to emi nence in this country. Grant never foi'got. this act of kindness on the part of Wells, and to day the latter, although a Democrat, has more in fluence with the Executive than all the balance of the Missouri delega tion in Congress combined. ---- Proposed T ele g ra jili fro m S ilv e r C ity to P o rtla n d , O reg o n , v i a ., Boise C ity, B a k e r City, A c . The Boise Statesman, of Alarch 30th, says, “".Mr Platt Burr arm ed here from Portland on Saturday last, and on bis way visited all ithe -small towns to talk over and consult with 41« citizens about extending the tele graph from Silver City, here and down to Portland, over this route and lean) what aid would be subscribed by the citizens of Port land and the towns along the route. He says he met with good encouragement all the way, and hopes to meet with similar suc cess in this city. The aid asked for is for an advance on script. Tlie subscriber agrees to pay a certain amount and take it in tele graphing. The money to be paid when the line is completed here; that is, what is sub scribed by our citizens; and the same way with the other towns, to advance the money when the line is completed to each town. On the payment of this moneys script will be issued, transferable, so that if the sub scriber don’ t want the telegraphing, he can sell his script to some one who does. Th e proposition is certainly a rersonable cue, and we hope it will be accepted, and the amount of money asked secured. Mr. Burr says that $3,500 will secure the line to this place, The line will be good for the script,, and it is only a loan of so much money while the parties agree to take, in sending or receiving dispatches. Our people will pay moie than $3,500 for dispatches the first six months, and all wo do by this arrange ment is to loan a cartain amount without in terest for a few months. This looks to us like a fair business proposition. It is within our reach and ought to he accepted without parley or urging, and we believe it will be. While we fought the subsidy last winter, we urged some such plan as this one, and many people approved o f it- We are ready to make our assertions, that we are in favor of a telegraph, good, by putting up earnest money in this way, and trust others will do the same. Mr. Burr left here for Silver City yesterday morning, and after reporting to his company, if favorably considered, will put the matter into shape, and if we do what is expected, the line will be pushed here by the middle of June.” F o r i im ps o f th e P resid en ts. Washington left an estate worth nearly &3CO,000. The elder Adams left a moderate fortune it his death. Jefferson died comparitively poor. If Ion gross had not purchased his library at a irice far above its value—S2Q,000—he would nth difficully have kept cut of bankruptcy it the close of his life. Madison saved his money and was com- jaritively rich. The fortune of hisj widow vas increased by the purchase of manuscript papers by Congress for $30,000. James Monroe, the fifth President, died io poor that he was buried at the expense of iis relatives, in the cemetery between Sec- jnd and Third streets, near the Bowery in ¡few York city. John Quincy Adams left about $50,000, ;he result of industry, prudence, and a small nheritance. He was methodical and eco nomical. Andrew Jackson left a valuable estate, known as the Hermitage, about twelve miles from Nashville, Tennessee. Martin Van Buren died rich. His estate va3 estimated at nearly $300,00. James K. Polk, left about $120,000. John Tyler was a bankrupt when he be- tune president. He husbanded his means «hileib <*&£«> married a rich wife, and died wealthy in worldly fortune. Zachary Taylor left about $150,000. Millard Fillmore died a wealthy man. Franklin Pierce saved $50,000 during his term of service as president. James Buchanan died a bachelor, and left an estate valued at $200,000 at the least. Abraham Lincoln left about $75,000. OUR EAGLE CR EEK L E T TE R . E agie V alley , March 8th, 1875. IN FROM ONE TO TWENTY MINUTES. ^ O T EM DEN G E E SE AM ONG T H E M O U N T A IN S . T he platform of the Republican National Convention upon which Grant was reelect ed was adopted at Philadelphia on ^June 6, 1872, and contains the following declara tions: “ 5. Any system of the civil service un der which the subordinate positions of the Government are considered rewards for mere party zeal is fatally demoralizing, and we therefore favor a reform of the system by laws which shall abolish the evils of pat ronage and make honesty, efficiency, and fidelity the essential qualifications jfor pub lic position, without practically ¿creating a life tenure of office. • “ 10. The franking privilege ought tobe abolished, and the way prepared for a speedy reduction in the rates of postage. “ 14. The Republican party is mindful of its obligations to the loyal women of America for rlieir noble devotion to the cause of freedom. Their admission to wider fields of usefulness is viewed with satisfact ion; and the honest demand of any class of citizens for additional rights should be treat ed with respectful consideration ” These are the professions, but the practice is not in harmony with them. Grant has just abolished the rules for civil service re form; Congress has just partially restored the franking privilege and has doubled the rates of postage on transient newspapers and other important kinds of mail matter; and the loyal women of America, if they have obtained any additional rights or wider fields o f usefulness from the Republican party, are not yet aware of the fact. Decidedly, there was a great deal more humbug in that platform. Give your son a good education and settled purpose in life, and when he is is a man he will not be content to sit back of a grocery stove and crack his finger joints. SUFFER WITH PAIN. RADWAY’S It was the first and is Grateful Thousands proclaim V in e g a r B it t e r s the most wonderful Invigorant that ever sustained the sink ing system. ■ No person can take these Bitters according to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their bones are not destroyed by mineral poison or other means, and vital or gans wasted beyond repair. Bilious, Remittent, and In termittent Fevers, v/hich are so prevalent in the Valleys o f our great rivers throughout the U nited States, especially those o f the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkansas, Red,Colorado, Brazos, R io Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Roanoke, James, and many others, with their vast trib utaries, throughout our entire country during the Summer and Autumn, and remarkably so during seasons o f un usual heat and dryness, are invariably accompanied by extensive derange ments o f the stomach and liver, and other abdominal viscera. In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a powerful influence upon these various organs, is essential. There is no cathartic ' for the purpose equal to D r . J.

Earley’s thoroughbred mare with foal from a thoroughbred horse which he recently brought from Kentucky, foaled a fine, sprighlly colt (filly) last Friday night. This, of course, is the first thoroughbred Idaho colt. We will suggest that the young "gall,” be called "Nell Earley-” There are several reasons why the name may be set down as appropriate. Earley is the first horseman in Idaho, and among horsemen it is common to attach the name of the owner; she is the earliest thoroughbred, and besides this, Earley has no other child to take his name. This is the maze that Earley has ad vertised for sale, she was gotten by Emery’s Lexington, and Miss Nell is gotten by J. C. McMillen’s Wagoner, of Madison, Kentucky.

JOSEPH GALE. E ditor ’ D emocrat :—A s many of your readers are not well acquainted with the mining districts o f Grant County, I propose giving a description of their location and prospects. Leaving Canyon City and Dixie creek, and in fact the "diggings” in the main John Day valley out, as already well known, we will take our course over the Dixie Mountains to the middle Fork, here is considerable placer mining ground that will pay but small China wages; with good water privilege. Turning down the River a few miles, we come to Elk Creek District; herej we find some very good placer mines that pay white men to work. Near hero is the best Quartz mines yet found in .Grant Co. The one Ledge worked by Cabot A Co., has paid well so far; there are still many lodes in this vicinity, not yet developed, hut from their croppings promise well. From there we will turn back up the River to Vin cent Creek, here again we find a considera ble amount " f placer mining ground, some of it paying good wages, the balance spotted and paying light; at the head of this creek is a Gold bearing lode that was worked at a sittle, some ten years ago, it has stood idle now for a long time, there is a chance that it would pay some capitalists to prospect it thoroughly, as there was some fine rock tak en out. Leaving Vincent, we take the trail over the ridge to Big Creek, here the ground prospects light, very rocky and hard to work, there has never been much work done on this stream. From here we go over an other ridge to California Gulch. The rest next time. 7-UP. A y e r ’s R. R. R. ■ BRONZE T U R R E T S 12 Gobblers from 8 to 20 months old, 22 to 40 K >3 each, for sale now.
