Correspondence of TUB Bm.J Senator Fred
T. Dubols , who has written the following
article , Is ono of the brightest mon of tbe
United States senate and is as well posted
on the now state of Idaho as any manin , the
union. Ho graduated from Yale college when
bo was twenty-one , and four years later
wont to Idaho and engaged In business there.
Ho has traveled over the whole state again
Jj-nd nguiu slnco then ana ho is thoroughly
'acquainted with Its resources and its possi
bilities. Ho represented the territory for
four years in the lower house of congress
end was elected for the term commencing
March last a ono of its United States
senators.
New I'llc18 About it New .State.
Idaho is ono of the newest states aud ono
tho'nowojt portions of our country In that it
is loss known and less understood than
almost any ether subdivision of the union ,
It was made a territory in 160'J and a state in
IStiO. The possibilities of the Pacific northwest -
\wost are boyonil intelligent guessing , and
Idaho from this time forward will expand
and develop moro rapidly and evenly than
any of the great now divisions composing
that section ,
I dwas introduced to an intelligent lady in
Brooklyn several years ago and my residence
was pi von as part of the introduction , She
inquired presently if I was acquainted with
Jr. William Uedraond"who lived out west. "
' 1 asked what particular part of the west had
the honor of sheltering Mr. Redmond ,
"Hoully now , 1 am not quite certain , " she
soberly answered , "but ha is in Omaha or
Idaho or somewhere lu that region , "
While sufllclont general attention has been
Attracted to lauho during the past few years
to locate It geographically us ono of Iho Pad lie
coast states , and as from 1,300 to 1,800 miles
nearer the Pacltlo ocean than Omaha , yet
tbo knowledge of its resources and capablll
ties Is exceedingly dim and misty in tha
minds of American citizens'cast of the Mis
sissippi river. There are many and gooj
causes for this-lack of information with
regard to this favored section. The chlofcsi
Is that the state until a recent period was off
the mam line of travel.
The great Union Pacific and Central
Padflo railroads ran south of it , and the
Northern Pacltlo traverses but a small part ,
/running but a few miles through the north-
eru portion of Idaho. To reach Iho Interior
necessitated an arduous and weary stage
ride of several hundred miles which uouo
would undergo unless they had a Ecocide
objjct in view. Up to 18S3 ttioro was but
ono railroad in the territory , the Utah &
Northern which an through oua couaty on
the eastern border. At that tima there were
about 50,000 people In Idaho , and at this
period they first began to develop tbo
various resources of the country. Nearly
the entire thought of tbo people was cen
tered on mining until this cm in our history.
Hlch cold placer mines hud boon found in
various sections of the territory , and the
adventurous spirits who flocked to
these camps cared nothing for the tame pur
suits of ordinary ousincss , and rushed off to
new Molds when their present ones showed
signs of exhaustion. In 1884-5 rail
road building began , and with it the gradual
settlement of iho country by steady and in
dustrious citizens. There are now about
1,500 miles of railroad in the state and 150-
000 people.aud agriculture Is the chief indus
try , Ono reason why this woaderful devel
opment has attracted BO little attention comes
from tbo fact that the increase in population
and wealth has been scattered evenly over
the entire slate. There are no largo towns ,
and no particular section has grown abnor
mally. Ranches or farms have bean opened
up and mines developed so quietly as to causa
no comment.
Boise , the capital and largest town , has
about 5,000 iubabitants.
Pacatollo in the southeast and Moscow in
the northwest have about 3,000 oacb. Sorao
seven or eight other towns have populations
ranging from 1,000 to : > ,000 , and each farming
or mining community has its village contain
ing from 100 to SOO pcoplo.
Tbo bulk of the people are on the farms ,
and thus a sure and lasting foundation is
laid for our f uturo prosperity. The resources
of tbo state are boundless and another cen
tury will pass before the activities of man
fully develop them.
Northern Idaho , or that portion of the state
embraced within the counties of Idaho , Noz
Perec , Lniah , Kooional and Shoshone , is a
mining or agricultural region. The Couur
d'Alcno mines In Shoshone couuty uro very
productive in silver and load , and the supplv
of wealth from thcso sources seems inox"-
haustiblo. Kootonai county hai line agricul
tural lands , splendid mineral prospects and
water power which will bulldj up great in
dustries before many years.
Latah and NcPorco counties are agricul
tural essentially , and there is no hotter farm
ing country lu any portion of the entire
union. Idaho county Is both agricultural and
mining. This entire section of north Idaho ,
containing an area tbroo limes as great as tbo
slate of New Jersey , does not require irriga
tionbut crops uro sura and enormous through
the natural causes. Some largo cities are
certain to grow Into being In this portion of
the state.
TUo larger portion of the state , generally"
known as south Idaho , u dependent on ir
rigation for Its crops. This section , which
Is about seven tliuna as largo as Now Jersey ,
like the northern portion , is rich in minerals ,
water power and productive lauds. While
Latnh couuty in northern Idaho contains a
prosperous community of 15,000 who are all
dependent on fanning without irrigation ,
lilngham county In southeastern Idaho con
tains a prosperous community of " 0,000 who
are all dependent on farming by moans of ir
rigation. The soil of north Idaho Is excep
tionally rich , and the yield ia equal to tha
yield of south Idaho. Tbo average yield
throughout the state per acre is i Wheat , 0
bushels ; rye , 25 bushels ; oats , 55 bushels ;
barlov , 40 bushels ; potatoes,2.VJ bushels ; buyer
or alfalfa , 5 tons. Irrigation implies neither a
defect nor n disaavantago , which foot is be
coming generally known. It ts a bolter
fertilizer than rainfall , the brlcbt skies
of the arid region uro moro favorable to veg
etation than cloudy skies , arid soil is the
most fertile soil , on which account irrigation
Is uow opening the beat lands ot the union
to cultivation , irrlgablo lands are moro pro
ductive than iboso fertilized by showers and
Irrigation is favorablq to the creation of a
numerous clas ? of comparatively small pro
prietors. There nra innumerable small
streams running through tbo state , creating
on abundance of water for all purposes.
The tinako river carries a volume
of water as grout as the Ohio
and traverses the state for a distance of
about 2,000 miles. It U navigable for large
steamboats for 100 miles down the river ,

There are probably 0,000,000 acres of irrigable -
blo land of exceptional richness yet remain
ing in Idaho unclaimed or untouched.
That portion of tbo state which occupies
the west center ana of which Boise is the
pride , while rich in mineral and agriculture ,
is especially favored us a fruit region. Tbo
readiness and cheapness with which the ex
tensive area ? of sage-bush lands can bo con
verted to fruit farms have laid the founda
tions of a great fruit growing industry.
Apples , pears , peaches , nectarines , apricots ,
plums , prunes and grapes are grown in the
greatest abundance aud are shipped to the
neighboring htatos. Within the past few
years the Industry has so grown that some
of the fruit lias found a market at Chicago
cage where it ran Us even higher
than Iho California fruit. Straw
berries , blackberries , raspberries and
dewberries uro commencing to bo extenslvolv
cultivated. Immense tracts of land peculi
arly adaotcd to fruit culture have never boon
touched but nestle along the streams , shel
tered by the mountains. There nro eight
regular nurseries m the state , all , doing a
thriving business. Speaking generally , the
soil and climate of Idaho i < s so rich and dl-
versiliod that almost every product of the
farm can bo cultivated successfully and pros
perously. Over 100,000 bushels of flaxseed
were produced in two counties of , north
Ioaho , .Latah and .Noz Porcc , last year ,
The cattle and stock industry is profitable ,
and while the latest census as shqwii.in a
bulletin prepared by Air. VVhitoho'ad and
issuoa under the direction of Superintendent
Porter , September 10 , 1S91 , places , Idaho
among the first states In the number of its
stock on ranges the lloiu is scarcely touched.
Tboro are somewhere between 15,000,000 and
UO.000,000 aorei of good grazing land in tbo
state which supported US.Oil cattle , 101,5St ;
horses and U57C20 sheep in 1889.
Tbis number could bo' quadrupled
without inlury to the stock rais
ing Industry. To bo sure almost every
farmer has a few head in addition to tbb
largo bands which run upon the ranges , The
ordinary loss of stock from all causes is about
0 per cent per acnnm.
There are about'10,000,000 acres of timber
land producing wuito and yellow phitii'flr ,
cedar , spruce and tamarack and some oak.
With the exception of Washington' It is
doubtful It any state products ouca mag
nificent timber as Idaho. It is habitually
tall , largo and of dense growth and easily got
ten to market. Allowing ! „ * the destructive
use of timber in the United States , but hav
ing regard also to ihe competition of ether
.Industries , localities and materials , it Is evi
dent that the lumber Intorons of Idaho will
afford employment for nil that choosif to turn
to them , lor a great number of years moro
years tha , . need ho scanned by this genera
tion.
Mining reluctantly yields the first place to
agriculture in the products of this state. Up
to the present tlmo tnls comparatively un
known and un prospected portion of our great
country has given to the world In sliver and
gold , with which to carry on its business , the
enormous sum of (150,000,003 , These praclous
minerals have boon washed oft of the bedrock -
rock and dug out of the grim hills. Now
mines are discovered every day , and in addi
tion to gold and silver there are enormous
fields of copnor , lead , limestone and ether
minerals. The mining capabilities of Idaho
cannot even ba surmised. It Is the opinion
of mining experts who have followed mining
over the Puolllc coast that Idano will soon
rank first among tbo mining states. The
latest census shows that 09,445 ounces of
gold , value ' ,055,703 , aud U,43lU3l ounces of
ellvor , value { 4,410,317 , wore produced in
1SSU. While the load Industry has
sprung into prominence in the state
during the pan few yean , up to
which time note was produced to
spoaic of , Idaho now ranks third as a lead
producer , being surpassed bv Colorado und
Michigan only. The output in IBS'J was 'J3.17U
short tons worth about $2OOJOuO. Mauy
rlcb mines are in full operation , giving em
ployment to thousands of hardy und exem
plary citizens utpooa wages , and stimulating

able homo market to the former. Many moro
rich mines Ho in tha hills waiting to bo
found. Idaho is peculiarly fortunate in this ,
that almost all her mjporal bolts are sur
rounded by rich-agricultural regions , so that
the prosperity of ono poosband ; in hand with
the prosperity of the othor.
'iho towns of the state , give opportunities
to men to engage In any kind of uuslnoss
which suits their inclinations or qualifica
tions. It has always , sqomod to mo that a
man of energy and good habits , ordinary in
telligence and ambition wds certain to pros
per in our now country weep ho might fail
in tbo east through lack of opportunity. Tbo
school , church and ml olhd.r facilities which
commend a higher form'of civilization are
equal to these in any eastern state , popula
tion and wealth being reckoned in tbo com
parison. To these who , Jove nrtturo and out
door sport , Idaho is very1 attractive. Lakes
Poud O'Uolllo and Ccpijr d'Alono in the
north are remarkable' for. their picturesque-
ness and beauty , Tbo Shoahonc Falls in tbo
south are thought by .many to surpass
Niagara for grandeur , -while the hot springs
at Hailoy , Kotchum , Bblso , Challls and
ether points are becoming' * noted as summer
resorts , as are also the famous soda springs.
On every side are raajestiq'mountalns always
changing. Trout nboundMn all tbo streams
and pralrlo chickens and gcouso are in nearly
every portion of tbo state. ' Door , elk , moose
and boar are still plentiful.
Probably the greatest charm of Idaho is its
climate , laying on the "other side , " the
west side of the Rocky .mouutains , It escapes
the blizzards and uv'clones which swoop the
Missouri vollov. From tba west it gets the
benefit of the Pacific add' .Winds commonly
called "chlnook , " but yet -ls sufficiently re
moved from the coast to-miss the rain and
mist which fall so steadily , for months along
thePacillo shore. Tbo clltnato h bracing
but not severe and "ly happily free from
either torrid or frigid conditions. Tbo atmosphere -
mosphoro is unusually clear , bright anu dry ,

There was room for him , but that was not

wore treated to another sensation by iha

CHICAGO , III. , March 4. [ Special to THE
DEI ; . ] In a social \yny Chicago lias passed
the Imitative period and fairly entered upon
tbe creative. The latest ovldonco of this pro
gressive inanition Is found la a certain in no
vation which has been successfully carried
out in several of the fashionable clubs. It
has always been the custom for the big
social clubs to entertain once In a while
formally. Every year , for Instance , the Ash
land club Rlvos a children's party and scat
tered throughout the year it has recaptions ,
musicales , eta , to wnich the public Is in
vited according to iho discriminating
courtesy of the members. The La Snllo club
Is very UUo the Ashland. Both of these or
ganizations are on the West side , and on tbo
South sldo is the Fnrragut Boat club which
fills a similar Hold. The Union League club
and the Chicago club are to all intents and
purposes strictly business , and tbo purely
social events to which they give birth are
few und fur Dotwoon.
It was the Ashland club which had the In
vent Ivo audacity to start the fad which is
now attracting moro than a little attention ,
anu which found a rather prompt follower In
tbo Farragut Boat club. The novelty maybe
bo briefly described. Tlioolul ) gives an on-
tcrtulnmenl ostensibly artistic. It begins
with un orchestral overture , If you please , or
with a rattling solo from a profossslonal
piano" player , something from Wiignor , or
Hoislni , or any of those tiaty old masters
whom so mauy admire and so few under
stand. Thou perhaps the local vocai celeb
rity , who Is a prima donna lu her own Imagi
nation and in the oxuburant fancy of her
friends , warbles a ( ow strains from Faust or
the Barber of Seville , Succeeding her , It
may bo , is a gentleman with a high forehead ,
a for-awuy look , a carefully trained musical
volco und a painfully correct pronunciation ,
who attempts to translate a lunro number of
the stanzas of Kobert Browning.

Attbls Juncture , when thoaudlonco is nltbor
asleep , In nervous prostatrion or In a con
dition of classical ocstacy , the climax the
feature of the evening makes Its appoar-
auco. This feature is subdivided into sev
eral features , most of them Irish. For in
stance , at the Farragut Boat club entertain
ment la it woolt It was composed of "Prof , "
Peter Shea , "Tho Illinois Oyclono , " and
"Prof. " Harry Finnlck , "Tho Arkansas

fessors" whoso names alone are a sulllcient
guarantee of their extraction u assistants.
Well , directly after Browning had been ex
ploited "Prof. " Shea p rancod on the stage ,
clad In lavender tights , two-ounce giovrs and

priatlon which has not boon placed on record ,
executing in a casunl , incidental ana alto
gether inadequate way. It mar bo that con
gress really caiuo out to see what had boon
done at Jackson park , ana that the people of
Chicago really invited them for that ex
plicit purpose , but if some stranger to this
country , George Washington for instance ,
had Joined the excursion at the capital , ac
companied it hero and remained with it until
its donartuo , ho would have made aflldavlt
that the primary design of the members waste
to nour aown as much strong liquor , wine
preferred , as possible , and that the great
ambition of Chicago was to see that they did
it. There is considerable reason to bollova
that congress did not organize itself into a
committee to visit this city , but into q
funnel. Every excursion wulch left
Washington had a separate car filled
with various preparations of alcohol
and by the time it reached Chicago
the greater part of the contents of
this car bed been transferred to the passen
gers. Congress arrived red-eyed and with
its hair-pulling. It was mot" by the local
creat men , and after the usual llubdubbery
hud been gene through with It took a thor
ough Turkish bath. It was then ready for
moro of "tbo sumo,1' and the local grcit men
took care that it got it. Bamiuot followed
banquet. The Press club , the Union League
club and several ether organizations treated
congress day and night.
VliioiiKly Witty niul lllotniisly Itcsponslvo.
There was miicn speechifying , compli
mentary on the part of the Jpcnl great mon ,
exuberant on the part of congress. The man
who probably believes that "when the wine
is in the wit is out" should hove boon tboro.
The speakers couldn't ' help being witty , oven
if they said the most commonplace ami stupid
things , and the auditors couldn't ' help lauah-
ing. Members who , when they rlso in the
bouse , clear the galleries und till the lobbies
were listened to with rapture and Inter
rupted every instant with riotous laughter
and applause.
From this , however , ono must not conceive
an exaggerated notion of the festivity. It
was neither an orglo nor a debauch. There
were no scones particularly disgraceful , an
the few who reached the extremity of intoxi
cation were promptly tauou care of. Th
occasion was simply ono of mellowness , ris
ing easily now and than to hilarity. Bui
analyzed even kindly and in a spirit of liber
ality unclouded by Puritanism it was n
gratifying- well known temperance woman
said the ether night at an unreported meet
ing : "Wo may admit , because we can't help
it , the individual right of a high ofllcial of
the nation to drink and to keep wlno on his
nldoboarit , but everybody with the slightest
sense of decency must cry out against mom-
bora of congress making'u spectacle of their
drinking baolts by carrying car loads of
liquors with them while ostensibly engaged
in the performance of their ofllcial duty. "
It certainly is unfortunate that congress
could not have made a careful , thorough and
sober Investigation of Worla's fair matters ,
for wbilo the variety of entertainment fur
nished by the local great men was calculated
to iiiiilto every member see double for a time ,
and while no member can say that anything
was spared to moko him think that ho was
enjoying himself , it is probable that a tem
perate examination of the marvelous progress
which has been made at Jackson p&rk would
have boon far hotter for the Interests of tha
fair and the appropriation in the end ,
