Hello, Brother F.! Though,
you were irretrievahly gone, but it ap.
pears you are still on the right turf
Now let's stand in together, Brother
T., and see that Alturas county dom,
have to pay for Jack Campbell's las,
trip. Those parties most Interested in
Jacks last visit into Oregon should
pungle, and the taxpayers of this county
should feel it as lightly as possible
Inter Idaho.
We know very little about Jack
Campbell's "last trip" or any othe,
but if Brother Clay means to intimate
that Deputy Sheriff Campbell will, or
ever did, make an unlawful charge
against the county, he does a great
wrong to one of the most jealous. sue
cesstul, and efficient officers any
county has ever been blessed with.
We will say, further, that if Brother
Clay is not STOOL" friend, he will
not begin mud-throwing, either on the
Shr'evaIty or any other Office. If
Brother Clay can make any charges,
let HIM; but if he cannot he had bet.
ter refrain from innuendo.

WOOD RIVERS RECORD.
"HONEST" JOHN HAILEy,s BILL


| We publish to-day the text of the
bill introduced in Congress by Mr.
Ainslie, at John Hailey's instance, and
which was the main cause of Mr.. Ain.
sl'.'s defeat, two years ago. 1t will
be seen, by careful perusal, that the
bill was intended to give to the incor-
porators Of the "Idaho Land and [r.
r'gatlon Company" the monopoly Of
all waters flowing into the Snake river
from the Lost, Little and Big Wood,
and BOISE rivers, and all streams trib-
ntary to the same.
The object OF the bill was to with,
d'aw the lands in the valleys of the
rivers named from the public domain
and withhold them from settlement by
Others than Mor,nons. The scope of
the bill, it will be seen, was to cover
all the Lost River region, all the Lit.
tie Wood River region, all the Big
Wood River region to the divide be-
tween Galena and Sawtooth,all Ca,nas
Prairie and Smoky, all the Boise
valley to Atlanta, and all the Snake
river lava fields ON both sides Of
that stream. AS some of the regions
embraced in the bill were already set
tledby non-Mormons, Il provision was
inserted which enabled the "company''
(of which John Haley was the leader)
to COMPEL THESE PEOPLE TO ABAN-
DON THEIR HOMES!
If the bill had passed, this company
would have owned every drop of
water in the regions embraced in the
bill; and every mine-owner, every
prospector, every business man, every
rancher, every settler, in the COM
pany's territory would have been COM
PEELED to leave!
Can anything more atrocious, more
hrutally unjust, be charged against
ANY public man of Idaho to-day? We
doubt it.
