Unmistakable signs Of coming pros

aud productive soil are sure indica-
tions Of a ''boom."
We did not intend that our mild
reference to Hawlcy Thorn's fit Of de-
spondency while here would stir hila
up to such sudden pitch of excite
ment. Many citizens. are Justly in
tlignant with certain Colfax dealers
who, being innocent Of the gentleman's
superior dignity and importance, serv-
ed ouly o second grade quality of

We do not now, nor did We ever, be
lievs that Hawley Thorn was I'D
fool, ON the contrary, we have looked
upon him as being endowed with an
extraordinary intellect, Chronology
gives us but moderate judgment.) He
is humorous, profound and liberal to
an astonishing degree in estimating his
own supcr-eminent qualities. We now
bury the Ratchet forever, as our in
dignation is conferred wholly upon

Query.
Mr.. IpAno, Feb. %. 1890.


ED TELLER: The question has
arisen between me and some of my
neighbors respecting the authority of
cur county officials to levy tax upon
prescription, homestead and timber
culture claims upon public lands before
patent has issued from the United
States. AS this is a matter of gener-
al Importance to our settlers, will you
be 50 kind as to give your views
through the TELLER respecting this
authority SUBSCRIBER
In answer to tie above we simply
say that there is some dispute in other
localities than Mt Idaho upon this
question. The organic acts of the sew
eral territories forbid taxing Of the
property of the United States; also
forbid interfering with the primary
disposal of the soil of the United
States. See section 1851 of the Re
vised Statutes of the United States
which may be found al the bottom Of
the 3lst page OF the Revised Statutes
of Idaho. AS the title to this class of
lands you refer to must remain in the
United States government until the is
sue of patent, we know of no valid
law of the Territory that can interfere
with these lands for taxation or sale.
