The first day he came from the Carrie Leonard to Beeton's, on Willow Creek, and the second day made Hailey easily. He reports the Smoky mines as snowing more ore than ever, and looks for a heavy output from there this season. Special Notice to the Ladies. Before buying their millinery goods, the ladies are requested to await the arrival of my extensive stock of novelties, which is on the road. My stock of millinery goods, which comprises the finest assortment of ladies' silk, straw, and fine trimmed hats ever seen in Idaho, is expected every day. S. J. Fbikdman. More Favorable Rates to Southern Idaho from Portland than from San Francisco. Friendly action of the railways entering here, and the provisions of the interstate commerce law, give Portland a decided advantage over San Francisco in the matter of Southern Idaho trade, and places this city in a better position for holding her trade along the Northern Pacific as far as Montana. The O. R. & N. and the Short Line have made the same rate from Portland to Ogden that the Central Pacific has made from San Francisco to Ogden. Under the provisions of the new law, the rate from Portland to points this side of Ogden can not be higher than to Ogden. Goods shipped from San Francisco to Southern Idaho points must pay the rate to Ogden, and the local rate from Ogden northward to destination. This action on the part of the railways will enable Portland to extend her trade in many lines, particularly in Pacific coast products, as far as the Wood river country. —Portland Oregonian. THE ROAD TO SHOKY. It will probably be open for teams in about one month. Zach. Hays came in yesterday from his ranch on the Smoky road, about two miles this side of the upper crossing of Willow creek. He left home about half-past 7 o'clock in the morning and reached Hailey in about eight hours. He states that people have been going and coming from Smoky on snowshoes all winter, and that travel was interrupted only in stormy weather. The mail carrier has sometimes been a day or two late with the mail to and from the Carrie Leonard, but he probably did not fail to make his one trip per week. The road between Hays's and Beeton's will be broken next week, and two or three weeks later light rigs can probably get over the summit into Smoky. This is the worst part of the road, as in Smoky and along Willow creek a good team could make the trip now. THE "ALIEN LAND LAW." How Congress Unintentionally Struck a Vital Blow at Our Mining Industry. Major William Hyndman, a well-known attorney at law of Wood River, who is in the East on important business, has written to the New York Engineering and Mining Journal, a lengthy communication on the "Alien Land Law" recently enacted, which points out the defects of the measure and shows that, in voting it, Congress unintentionally inflicted great damage upon our mining industry. Following is the communication in full: An Act to restrict the ownership of real estate in the Territories to American citizens, and so forth. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, that it shall be unlawful for any person or persons not citizens of the United States, or who have not lawfully declared their intention to become such citizens, or for any corporation not created by or under the laws of the United States or of some State or Territory of the United States, to hereafter acquire, hold, or own real estate so hereafter acquired, or any interest therein, in any of the Territories of the United States or in the District of Columbia, except such as may be acquired by inheritance or in good faith in the ordinary course of justice in the collection of debts heretofore created; provided, that the prohibition of this section shall not apply to cases in which the right to hold or dispose of lands in the United States is secured by existing treaties to the citizens or subjects of foreign countries, which rights, so far as they may exist by force of any such treaty, shall continue to exist so long as such treaties are in force, and no longer. Sec. 2. That no corporation or association more than 20 percent of the stock of which is, or may be, owned by any person or persons, corporation or corporations, association or associations, not citizens of the United States, shall hereafter acquire or hold or own any real estate hereafter acquired in any of the Territories of the United States or of the District of Columbia. Sec. 3. That no corporation other than those organized for the construction or operation of railways, canals, or turnpikes shall acquire, hold, or own more than 5000 acres of land in any of the Territories of the United States; and no railroad, canal, or turnpike corporation shall hereafter acquire, hold, or own lands in any Territory, other than as may be necessary for the proper operation of its railroad, canal, or turnpike, except such lands as may have been granted to it by Congress. But the prohibition of this section shall not affect the title to any lands now lawfully held by any such corporation. Sec. 4. That all property acquired, held, or owned in violation of the provisions of this act shall be forfeited to the United States, and it shall be the duty of the Attorney General to enforce every such forfeiture by bill in equity or other proper process. And in any suit proceeding that may be commenced to enforce the provisions of this act, it shall be the duty of the court to determine the very right of the matter without regard to matters of form, joinder of parties, inultifariousness, or other matters not affecting the substantial rights either of the United States or of the parties concerned in any such proceeding arising out of the matters in this act mentioned. Approved, March 3, 1887. The foregoing "Act of Congress," which became a law of the land by the approval of the President the day before the last of the late session, is entitled to more than passing consideration, in view of its probable effects. On mining in the Territories. The present time is one of activity and interest in mining promotion and investment across the sea, especially in London, where a number of transactions, involving valuable American mining properties and large sums of English capital, are just maturing. The writer, with a knowledge of the facts, makes it as a moderate estimate that sales to the amount of $410,000,000 on mining property in Idaho Territory alone, have been negotiated in England and Scotland within the past year, not yet entirely consummated. The possible serious consequences of this law will hence readily occur. And it will seem to be a strike at our most vital mining interests, which depend upon capital for development, which capital is and should be welcome from any source, as all familiar with mining enterprises will readily concede. Mining for the precious metals, while a strictly legitimate business when properly conducted, is, however, one of ventures and more than average business risks. And experience has proven that the process of development of mineral resources, and expenditure incurred in such pursuit, has told more to the benefit of mining regions and communities than to the capitalists and investors, even where the latter realize on investments and succeed. Uninhabited and barren localities are peopled, towns and cities built up, and great good and prosperity is to great numbers. No matter from what sources the capital has been derived, it has gone in our land to the development of loyal American communities, and the immediate benefit of our citizens in the first instance. There can be no reasonable objection urged to foreign investment in our mines. On the contrary, it is what we most desire, and in so far as this law is a bar thereto, it is a detriment to material interests and a mistake. The writer, being recently in Washington, took occasion to interview and consult various heads of departments in the national government, Senators, and Members of Congress, as to the scope and effect of this act. Mr. Payson, of Illinois, the author of the bill, frankly admitted that he had no special knowledge on mining matters, and that the object of the bill was to prevent large holdings of agricultural and grazing lands by non-resident and alien parties and corporations, a move that in general is to be commended; the establishment of such holdings, in the nature of small ditches and principalities on our domains, owned and controlled by aliens, being unquestionably foreign to the spirit of our American institutions. All, however, in the main, concur that the effect of the bill is injurious to mining interests in the Territories and to be regretted, and on that day, had the objection been urged, an exception as to mining property would doubtless have been made. The question will occur as to the validity of such legislation. Can government, after selling and granting realty by letters patent to a party and assigns, say to a subsequent grantee, "We did not intend that you should acquire, hold, or own this property." So we will take it back, give you nothing, and sell it again to someone else?" Statesmen and lawyers agree that Congress can legislate to such effect. Not, however, to a retroactive extent, nor as effecting existing and pending contracts. It is, moreover, a mooted question as to whether leases for a long term might not avail to defeat the object of the bill, and liabilities might be admitted by a lawful holder to an alien party, whereby such alien could, in the language of the act, "in the ordinary course of justice," acquire a judgment title. But while the act is hardly perfect as to the carrying out of its intent, it may yet prove an unintentional blow at mining interests as indicated, and a possible serious damage, which for the reasons suggested should be remedied as soon as practicable by an amendment to the above law, excepting mining property and interests from its operations.

Day and Night During an acute attack of Bronchitis, a ceaseless tickling in the throat, and an exhausting, hacking cough, afflict the sufferer. Sleep is banished, and great prostration follows. This disease is also attended with Hoarseness, and sometimes Loss of Voice. It is liable to be of the chronic, involve the lungs, and terminate fatally. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral affords speedy relief and cure in cases of Bronchitis. It controls the disposition to cough, and induces refreshing sleep. I have been a practicing physician for twenty-four years, and, for the past twelve, have suffered from annual attacks of Bronchitis. After exhausting all the usual remedies, I tried Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. It effected a speedy cure.—(1. Stoveall, M. D., Carrollton, Miss.) Ayer's Cherry Pectoral is decidedly the best remedy, within my knowledge, for chronic Bronchitis, and all lung diseases. — M. A. Rust, M. D., South Paris, Me. I was attacked, last winter, with a severe Cold, which grew worse and settled on my Lungs. By night sweats I was reduced almost to a skeleton. My Cough was incessant, and I frequently spit blood. My physician told me to give up business, or I would not live a month. After taking various remedies without relief, I was finally Cured By Using two bottles of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. I am now in perfect health, and able to resume business, after having been Proclaimed incurable with Consumption. — S. P. Henderson, Saulsburg, Penn. For years I was in a decline. I had weak lungs, and suffered from Bronchitis and Catarrh. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral restored me to health, and I have tried, and suffered from Bronchitis. I have been for a long time comparatively vigorous. In case of a sudden cold I always resort to the Pectoral, and find speedy relief. — Edward E. Curtis, Rutland, Vt. Two years ago I suffered from a severe Bronchitis. The physician attending me became fearful that the disease would terminate in Pneumonia. After trying various medicines, without benefit, he prescribed Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, which relieved me at once. I continued to take this medicine, and was cured. — Ernest Colton, Loganport, Ind.
