of Idaho, shows something of the art.
tatlon for hlKh railroad assessments
and the abolition of the pass evil in
mat state.
The communication addressed to
tho Moscow Journal is as follows?
To the Editor of the Evening Capital
jews
The following, which is an Artrnnt
from the Moscow Evening Journal of
tne Z6th Inst., explains Itself:
"Boise, Idaho, April 21, 1906. Edl
tor Journal: If you will, nermlf T
would like to address a few questions
u ... nnu iiiciiiuera ui ine
Equal Taxation league. Is it not true
that you are making a good deal of
fuss about nothing? It Is probably
true tnat tho members of the Icirlsla
ture. the state officers nnri nthnru a
favored with railroad passes, but how
does that harm the rest of us? Is It
not true that they are In luck, while
you fellows are simnlv Winking ha.
cause you have to pay your fare or
waim Please explain how the public
is damaged because a few people ride
on passes.
As you may have other citizens who
are seeking information on the siih.
Ject of railroad passes, permit me to
give them through the columns of
your nnncr the statistics which shm
the additional amount natd nnnnnllv
by the people of South Idaho to the
uregon onori L,ine tor passenger fares
in conseauence of the state nffir
and members of the legislature being
bribed by passes.
It Is doubtless known to all that
nassenger fares over th n T A. v
the Great Northern and the Northern
Pacific railroad are but t cents per
mile, while the Oregon Short Line
charges 4 cents over Its main lines
and S on Its branches; yet the last
Idaho legislature, which was under
he absolute control of Governor
Gooding, made E. W. Johnson, from
Adn, a subject of ridicule because.
forsooth, he Introduced a bill looking
to the relief of the neonle. while the
agent of the road who doled out
passes to the members and their wives
sat In the lobby with a smile that was
"child-like and bland." ileemlnir it
rare sport to see the representative
or tho people become the ready tools
of his company, and that, too, at such
a paltry price.
For the information of "Citizen."
together with the governor and the
members of the legislature, whn In
their Indecent haste to norket their
little pasteboards failed to consider
how much their passes cost the trav
eling public, permit me to give the
following mathematical analysis:
The Interstate commerce commis
sion. In Its report on the Income of
railways for the year ending June 30,
1904 (see page 80), gives' the income
for pissenger fares on the Oregon
Short Line at $2,897,686; on the O.
R. & X.. J2. 627.15: thus ns will ha
noted, the Oregon Short Line received
ror passenger fares 1270.430 more
than the O. R. & N. Their mileage
being the same within less than two
lies and the through nassenger traf
fic identical, the difference In passen
ger earnings Is accounted for hv th
difference between the fare per mile
on the two roads; three cents In one
case and four and five cents In the
other: therefore, the Dasses given th
chief executive of Idaho and the mem
bers of the Idaho legislature ore an
expensive luxury to those whi "must
pay or walk."
The foregoing figures, which wpre
taken from tho official report of 1904.
do not represent the cost of 1906,
which was much greater, as the entire
gross earnings of the Oregon Short
Line for 1904 were $11,690,604, vhlle
for 1906 the gross earnings were 513.-
010,461, an Increase of 11,319.947.
Nor do tho excessive passenger fares
of the Oregon Short Line represent
the entire cost of passes on that road,
as tho excess In freight rates Is even
more.
Xot less than $500,000 Is collected
annually by the Oregon Short Line
from the peoplo of South Idaho In
passenger fares and freight In excess
of what thev would be reoulred to nnv
If the same prices were charged as are
in Oregon nnd Washington; and yet
the gentleman who signs himself as
"Citizen" asks us to "exnlaln how the
public Is damaged because a few peo
ple ride on passes." How long will
your peoplo stand like mutton sheep,
awaiting the butcher's knife?

at this time to announce the definite

It Is very probable that so soon n

'S ICE CAVE
SOLID ICF. FOUND NEAR
THE SURFACE AT KAMIAH.
Strong Wind Issues From the Cave
ami the Air Is Intensely Cold Solid
Ice Rug Out In July Cave Will Re
Opened Up by the Discoverer
Many Theories Advanced Concern
lug the Phenomenon.
Last summer W. I.. Jewell, who haa
a ranch across the Clearwater river
from Kamlah, made an unusual Ala
covery which has created much inter
est in this community, says the Lew-
Iston Tribune. At the foot of n hlnff
of lava, formation he started to dig
for water and at a depth of two feet
encountered hard frozen ground.
This astonished him, for It was In July
und the thermometer registered 90 de
grees In the shade, and the spot Is ex
posed to the direct rays of the sun
all day.
Slide or shell rock was scattered all
through the soli and the whole mass
was frozen as if exposed to extreme
cold for months. Mr. Jewell contin
ued the hole down nbout bIx feet and
had to give up the Job on account of
the hardness of the frozen stuff. .
The ice seems to be of unusual
coldness and stands a great deal more
heat than ordinary Ice. In crevices
Is found clear, pure ice, and last July
Mr. Jewell dug out about 20 pounds.
put It Into a sack and carried it to
Kamiah. Although It won a verv hot
day the Ice had not yet begun to melt
upon Ms arrival, but had frozen to
the sack Instead.
C. J. Johnson and Baxter Renshaw
were over to the place one of the hot
test days Inst summer, and Mr.
Johnson says It was Impossible to stay
in tne hole, and in the morning n
sheet two Inches thick covered the
bucket and at the same time tomatoes
were ripening only a short distance
away. There are small open crevices
In the ground through which at times
comes draughts of nlr that almost
blows a person's hat off, and the
breeze Is intense cold, more so than
any winter wind ever experienced.
Two weeks ago several Knmlnh
business men visited the place. Dur
ing the winter the hole had filled up
with slide rock, and now it nni
about three feet deep, but as soon as
a person steps Into it a chilling effect
is reit. There was still Ice standing
out In the sunlight and tha bM nf
the hole, almost to the top, and the
Dottom were a solid frozen mi nnri
strange Xo say many spring flowers
were blooming around the spring. A
match was struck and held near the
crevices and there was a sufficient
breeze coming ud to almost eutin.
gulsh the blaze.
One of the local theories advanced
, cause of the h "C
.. Vlh?,u"! f .the Phenomenon
Is
that It is caused bv mmo ri,amk.i
action similar to the process used In
the manufacture of artificial ice. An
other reasonable theory Is that there
might be large caverns beneath the
surface through Which come the cold
diaughtt which freese the ground.
Mr. Jewell Intends to do some more
excavating this summer and would be
Plensed to hear from any one who haa
theories as to the cause of the phe
nomenon. Cement has been advanced within
tne past few days 11 per barrel. Owl

In the northwesf for paving and on

DAHO
JAMES G. KIDWELL TELLS .
OF RELIEF WORK DONE.
Enlire System or Harriinan Roads
Placed at DImika1 of tho People ot
Ran Francisco Relief Trains and
Refugee Trains Took Precedence
Over All Other People Carried
Free to the Ends of the Ilarriman
System.
James G. Kldwell. the Wnlin-Wntia
stockman who is well known in Pen
dleton, has-Just returned from San
Francisco, and Is enthusiastic over
relief work of E. H. Harrlmnn
chief of the Harrlman system of rail
roads, in San Francisco and Oakland.
in speaking of the work of Mr. Har
rlman In Placing his entire svntem nf
roads at the disposal of San Francls-
i, he says:
"E, H. Harrlman has done and la
doing more for the relief of San Fran
cisco tnan any other dozen Individuals-
t,x-Mnyor Phelan did nobly In sub-
fining $1, 000.000 to the relief fund.
but his opportunity to aid the stricken
people of that city was not so great
b was Mr. Hnrriir.an s. It was a case
here Just such aid as was rendered
by a railroad system could not be
equuled by any amount of money.
"As soon as he received the news of
the disaster he started from New
York In a special train and In the
quickest time possible was on the
scene.
'Hastily viewing the remain, nt tho
once beautiful city he subscribed
1200.000 to the relief fund, nnd r.
turning to Oakland, he gave orders to
his whole system of rallroadsrorders
that meant more at that time than
any possible subscription of money.
He gave the word, and every train,
passenger and freight, was side track
ed for the tralnloads of provisions
coming Into San Francisco and the
tralnloads of refugees leaving the
stricken city.
"All of this was free. There xetut
no hesitation and dickering about
rates or the amount of relief supplies.
Through him It was possible for every
btatlon, large and small, to rush their
donations little or great to the front.
Then it was iust as neresonrv fnf
the relief of the situation to get as
many people as possible out of the
city as It was to get the nrovlHnn
and supplies to those who could not
leave. Again Mr. Harrlman was the
man of the hour and he threw his out
going trains open to the nublic. The
orders were that If a person has the
necessary funds to nnv n rate nf one
cent per mile, well and good; if he has
no funds, let him go Just the same
and as far as the Harrlman system
extends.
"Xo one can appreciate the rem
enormity of the value of such action
on the part of Mr. Harrlman unless he
can stand at the depot in Oakland, as
we did, and see the trains coming and
going. The Immense railroad vard
was one mass of Incoming and outgo
ing trains, the one loaded with .im
plies from all over the United States,
the other with fleeing refugees, all at
the cost of the Harrlman system.
"Harrlman's generosity in this mat
ter has opened the eyes of thousands
or people who have been too free to
criticize men of his calibre, nnd It is
certain that he has won a lasting place
In the hearts of the people of Califor
nia.
After doing all these thlnmi for the
relief of the distressed and suffering.
we still hear of his attending tho
meetings of the general relief com
mittee and offering to build railroad
tracks Into the city for the purpose of
removing the debris from the Btreets,
without cost and with the nntv reser
vation that he be allowed to remove
the trncks when the work is com
pleted. "There Is little doubt that notwith
standing the great drain upon his rail
road system ror the relief of the city.
It will soon be noted that he Is dnini.
more than any other one man to re
store It to Its former condition or even
better."

Gambling in Okanogan.
The wave of reform that haa been
sweeping over the western country
has struck Okanogan, and Jack Wil

on the charge of conducting a gambl

This Is the first arrest ever made
In the county for a crime of this
character, and the promise Is made
by the county officials that It Is the

gan, says a Conconnully report. In
many of the towns and camns nf the
county gambling has been conducted
openly and without fear of the law,
but last month the order went nut tn
close up.

fever. Williams was reported to have
stated that he would continue his busi
