ONLY A POINT IN EVOLUTION.
There lias been more public spirit
manifested in Rampart since the begin
ning of tbe year, probably, than in all
the balance of the town’s history put
together. The streets have been cleaned
and improved, an athletic park, at a
great deal of labor and expense, has
been put into very fair condition, and
the old and neglected cemetery lias been
fenced. With the exception of a portion
of the street work, this has all been
accomplished through voluntary con
tributions of money and labor.
It is certainly very creditable to the
citizens; and it marks the beginning of
an era of better feeling one toward an
other than has existed heretofore.
The thing most strongly emphasized
by the work done, however, is the
changed feeling of the people with re
gard to the country itself. Instead of
an inhospitable and dreary land where
every day was looked upon 11s one of
sacrifice, it has finally let its brighter
side lie known and it has got to feel like
home. It is a point in evolution that ;
was not reached through the same pro- I
cess in any of the other territories, for
there people went to stay and were often
driven back by unlooked-for hardships,
while here they came expecting to en
dure the worst* for a season and then
fly, and find themselves bewitched into
reni lining.

JUSTICE WILL FINALLY BE DONE.
There has never been a trial as im
portant, in a good many respects, as
that which was begun against Haywood
in Idaho June 5.
In opening the case, the prosecuting
attorney said lie would undertake to
show that the killing of ex-Governor
Steunenberg was by Harry Orchard,
deliberately set that task by Hayward,
secretary of the Western Federation of
Miners.
Then it would be shown the jury that
the terrible crime of blowing up the
railroad station at Independence was |
the work of Steve Adams, he also being
set the task by the accused—Haywood, i
as secretary of the miners.
In his position as secretary, the pros
ecuting attorney said, it was for Hay
wood to keep in touch with everything
that was being done to strike terror into
the hearts of the opposing factions; and
it would be conclusively shown the jury
that crime after crime committed in
Idaho and neighboring states could be
easily traced back to the accused secre
tary.
Harry Orchard, June 6, gave testi
mony that must seemingly strengthen
the state’s case. He told of manv of
-
the most wanton murders that he had
committed under orders from Haywood. I
But it cannot be forgotten that Or- \
chard is a self-confessed fiend. Ile'may
be swearing false.
It can scarcely be said that Haywood ;
and Moyer and I’ettibone have de
moaned themselves like bloody assas- i
sins, and it is common knowledge that
millions of men have believed them !
innocent.
The state cannot afford to make a I
mistake; for the truth will !*• known,
by thousands if not by the world at
large, bv the time these Idaho trials are
concluded, and justice will finally be I
done.
Miss Clara Hkintz, a beautiful young
society woman of Los Angeles, has de
terniineil to spend a year or more in
missionary work in Alaska, and even
now may be on her way down the Yu
kon. She is a friend of Miss Clara
Carter, who will have charge of the
hospital at the new mission established
on the Koyukuk recently by Archdea
con Stuck. When Miss lleintz was
bidding Mi-s Carter goodbye a week
ago she suddenly determined to accom
pany her, and within an hour was on
the ocean, without bidding her |>arciits
goodbye.
Animated Nature Far North.
According to the re|«>rts of some of
tin- koowtlk natives, says the I’oint
Hope corrcs|»>udent of the Nome Nug
get, lynx are very fond of hawks, and
have their own methods of capturing
those birds They dig a hole in the
sm*w and I lien match down in it, leav
ing only a -mall nortion of their tail
evposctf. The small stump of a tail i,
then vigorously shaken. The hawk's
attention is attracted, and, thinking it
has discoveied a ptarmigan, it s».->|.<
down ami captures the tail The |Vn\
then springs up and captures the hawk
before it has time to escape. •
