THERE is well ON the N. p. r. r.,
situated about twenty-five miles from
AInsworih, which is l2T feet deep.
The singularity about the well is that
it is frozen up. Not only is there ice
in the well, but it froze so hard down
there that fine force pnmp was bro

BOISE CRY, Jan. 22d 1881

ED- WoRLD:L Last evening closed
the forty days Of our session, and to-
day commences the extension A
great deal Of work is yet to be done.
But few bills have passed 10 compare
son to what is in the hands of the
committees Some of the most im-
portant measures are yet out, but will
be reported early next week. The
following is synopsis Of the past
week:
II. B. No 26, an act in relation TO
branch county jails in Alturas county.
G. B. No. 6, an act to amend an ACT
to regulate proceedings in criminal
cases.
Q. B. No. AS, an act in relation to
the INDECENT sick. insane and idiotic-
Substitute for 9. B. No. Is, an act
10 relation 10 tresspass
H. B. No. As, an act to create con-
tingent fund for the county of Cassia.
II. B. No. 81. an act regulating the
salary of the Probate Judge Of Cassia
county.
Fl. B. No. so. an act in relation to
the removal of the county seat of Al
turas county from Rocky Bar TO Belle
we.
Fl. B. No. 81, an act in relation to
resident stock owners.
House substitute for Fl. B. No. 26,
an act in relation to Territorial and
county revenue. By this passage Of
this bill our Territorial taxes arc re-
duced from IS cents to so cents.
This bill has created considerable
interest. many thinking it unwise to
reduce our Territorial taxes SO much,
while others took equally strong
grounds in favor of the reduction.
Time viii solve the question. Any
reduction of taxation is always a
popular movement, but sometimes
very unwise. tits to be hoped it viii
not prove so in this instance.
Our school bill is yet in the hands
| of the Committee on Education, but
will be reported on Monday next be-
lieve. We cannot speak intelligently
in relation to its merits. Many think
our present law is good enough, and q
warm time is expected when it comes
up.
A bill fur the consolidation Of Boise
City into one district will be intro
duced soon. This bill will be of great
Interest to the patrons of the public
schools in this city. There never has
been time when so many children
have attended our public schools as
there is to-day. We have four granl
schools running here at the present
and one would think that to CONSOLE
date the districts would work great
Hardship, particularly with our pres
emit facilities for school houses.
A memorial passed the house to-
liay praying for an appropriation fer
the expenses of the extra twenty days
of our session, as it appears Congress
has as yet made no provisions for eA-
jnenses. 4. 4 =.

AN EXTRA SESSION.

SeIah Chamberlain Renews His Proposal
to Accept Fifty Per Cent. Of the Princi
pal and Interest OF His Bonds Belle
That an Ext ra Session of the Legisla
ture VIII be Called to Close With His
Offer.
The attorneys for selah Chamberlain yes
terday presented communication to Gov
Plllsbury renewing the offer of Mr.. Chamber
lain to accept fifty per cent. of the interest o.
the face value of the Minnesota State Railroad
bonds and due coupons owned by him. This
offer is conditioned that an extra session ol
the Legislature is called and the payment i'm
mediately provided for, and is accompanied
by telegraphic dispatch from Mr.. Chamber
lain authorizing the offer to be made. The
governor yesterday stated that he would con-
suit the attorney general, who was then absent,
before deciding upon the proposition.
Outside of official circles there seemed to be
generally confident belief that an extra ses-
sion will be called. It was argued from the
governors pronounced position in favor of
settlement with the bondholders that he
would desire to signalize his third term by
bringing about the adjustment proposed by
the principal bondholders. 1t was also ar
gued that in the interest of his party and for
the good of the State he would conclude to
call together the legislature already commit
ted by its bond tribunal act to acceptance of
the Chamberlain proposal rather than leave
the matter to be agitafed before the people at
the next Legislative election, and perhaps for
many elections to follow.

physicians have requested me to inform you
of the Presidents condition. He has during
the day eaten sufficient food with relish and
enjoyed at intervals refreshing sleep. His
wound incisions made by the sur
geons are looking better. The parotid
gland has ceased suppuration and may be
considered substantially we'll. He has exhib-
tied more than his usual cheerfulness of spir-
It's. His temperature and respiration are now
normal, and his pulse less frequent and tirmer
than at the same hour last evening. Notwith-
standing these favorable symptoms the condi-
ton of the lower part of his right lung will
continue to be source of anxiety for some
days to come.
