ROLLER PROCESS
General Merchandise.
To be economical in the purchase of Implements and Vehicles, you should be always sure to get the best. Nothing so thoroughly illustrates this as the purchase of a
Bain Wagon, Years of use in this dry
western climate, and under all condition^ have demonstrated their incomparable qualities, and made the name a household word among Farmers and Freighters east and west of © the Rockies. The BAIN is UNRIVALLED, and all admit it.
If you are seeking convenience combined with comfort and staying qualities, we can, from a thorough knowledge of our own and the verdict of. your neighbors, recomend a Racine Spring Wagon. We carry a line of these Vehicles manufactured especially for the western trade. In the.ir construction the makers keep in view the severe use to which they are necessarily put on mountain roads and in dry climates. They can, therefore, be relied upen to stand the test for the greatest number of years. Most Spring wagons are simply "things of beauty," but a Racine spring wagon is "a joy forever," because of its sterling merits.
We can furnish you with Moline and Cassady Plows, Moline and Oliver Chilled foot plows, Triumph Grain Drills, Moline Cultivators and Shovel plows, Disc and Drag Harrows, Etc. These lines are generally known to the public as possessing the best features, and the manufacturers keep abreast of the times in desirable improvements.

THE committees of the lower House of Congress have been "announced. Delegate Dubois, who wanted a place on the committee on Territories, was placed on the committee on Agriculture.
THE Idaho Statesman comcs to our table now as a daily. It is the same size as the old tri-weekly— six column folio. The Statesman has long presented the best appearance of any paper in Idaho and the new daily well sustains the reputation. Idaho has several dailies now—that is they are issued everyday—but as far as being newpapers is concerned they might as well issue blank paper. Some publishers think that all that is necessary for a daily is a six-line pica head and a conglomorate mass of patent-medicine ads" and a half-column of editorial slush. The Idaho Statesman and another honorable exception have reversed this rule.
TIIE TRIBUNE congratulates the citizens of Hailey upon the organization of a Board of Trade of one hundred members, thus insuring united action in the development of the great Wood River region. While the Caldwell Board of Trade has not quite as large a membership as the Hailey organization, it does have the proud distinction of being the first in the Territory. To the enterprise and ability of Caldwell's citizens is due the credit of showing to our neighboring towns and cities the beneficial results of concerted action and work for the common geod. Still we are not proud When any of our neighbors reach that period of their evolution and desire to form a Building and Loan Association or a Fair Association Caldwell can give a few pointers how to operate them successfully.
any weight is that consolidition means loss of western represéttta-tion. It would be hard to imagine any scheme worse than the present system whereby Idaho and the west would suffer loss of representation. A Territorial delegate is scarcely more than a respectable figurehead in inflence. Those who reckon on the political influence of the west fifty years in the future and apply their conclusions to the condition of things at the present time are, to say the least, somewhat trifling.
Your Children Are constantly exposed to danger from Colds, Whooping Cough. Croup, and diseases peculiar to the throat and lungs. For such ailments, Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, promptly administered, affords speedy relief and cure.
As a remedy for Whooping Cough, with which many of our children were afflioted, we used, during the past winter, with much satisfaction, Ayer's Cherry Pectoral,
onsider For this affection, we
consider this preparation the most efficacious of aU the medicines which have oome to oar knowledge.—Mary Park-hurst, Preceptress, Home for Little Wanderers, Doncaster, Md.
My children have been peculiarly subject to attacks of Croup, and I failed to find any effective remedy until I commenced administering Ayer's Cherry PectoraL This preparation relieves the difficulty of breathing and invariably cures the complaint.—David G. otarks-Ghatham, Columbia Co., N. Y.
I have used Ayer's Cherry Pectoral in my family for many years, and have found it especially valuable in Whooping Cough. This medicine allays all irritation, prevents inflammation from extending to the lungs, and quickly subdues any tendency to Lung Complaint. —J. B. Wellington, Plainville, Mich.
I find no medicine so effective, for Croup and Whooping Cough, as Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. It saved the life of my little boy. only six months old, carrying him safely through the worst case of Whooping Cough i ever saw.»Jane Malone, Piney Flats, Tenn. ft

SALMON HATCHERY.
You begin by catching the old or parent fish. From these spawn or eggs are taken, and placed in baskets or boxes, where the fresh water pours through over them until they hatch. Every day the eggs have to be examined, and the dead eggs, which are known by their turning white, taken out from among the others. After the first hatch, they are kept in the hatchery until about six weeks old, when thev are turned out into the river, to find their way, after a time, to the sea, when they start on a three years' voyage. And now for the curious part of this matter. When a young salmon goes to sea, it is 6aid by persons who have made "salmonology" a life study, that it does not return to fresh Wi*ter until three years later. They then come back to the same stream from which they went to
we j sea, and they never return to salt carry a full line of Stoves and water a second time. Instead, they

THE terms of office of Judges Buck and Broderick of the Idaho bench will expire shortly. As both of the above named gentlemen are Republicans the vacancies will be supplied from a Democratic standpoint. There will also be a vacant Judgeship in Wyoming. From private advices THE TRIBÜNE learns that the Hon. T. J. Anderson, late Democratic candidate for Governor of Iowa,has been tendered his choice of these vacant Judgeships. As Mr. Anderson will undoubtedly accept TIIE TKIBUNE sincerely hopes that he will choose one the Idaho vacancies. The superiority of Idaho over Wyoming in everything that goes to make up a successful commonwealth is conceded by all, while the outlook for her future is exceedingly propitious. A life-long acquaintance with Maj. Anderson and his career as citizen, soldier, statesman and jurist, enables THE TRIBUNE to speak qualifiedly of his fitness to grace any bench.
THE report of the Pacific railroads Commission has been made. The commission disagree as to the Union Pacific but are unanimous as to the management of the Central Pacific, which they say is "wholly indefensible" and "necessarily absolutely destructive of any possible security." The Central Pacific managers say that the road cost $120,842,520, for which sum the government was responsible. The Commission find that the road cost only $58,301,831, and that the magagers, Stanford, Huntington, et al., divided the difference, $69,570,-697, and $55,533,5-14 profits made in a like manner on the Southern Pacific, making an aggiegate steal of $118,110,243. For this piece of villainy jEeland $tanford occupies a seat in the U. S. Senate when he should be in the penitentiary. The dying myser said that he would build a church if his lease of life could be extended. What kind of a spasm seized Stanford when he prosposed to endow the California University?
TAKING the view that Congress will admit no Territory to Statehood unless she has the population required to entitle her to one representative, do the people generally anticipate where the next census will leave Idaho in that respect? It is thought by many that the present number of Representatives, 325, make a body far too cumbersome for legislative purposes. In view of this the present ratio of representation, 163,000, will, by the next census, be increased to over 200,000. With these facts in view it behooves Idaho to attempt to acquire Statehood before the next census increases the ratio. THE TRIBUNE would again call attention to the article of Hon. W. H. Claggett, published some weeks ago, favoring consolidation with Montana. The enly argument against it having
