The Snake, Canals, bitches, Etc.
Snake river has been steadily rising
for the past ten days and near 70 its
highest point known to the white set
tier. The crops in lower Boise valley
are very good and promise to be more
abundant in yield than for years.
Stock on the range at this season never
looked so we'll. The farmers in general
are rushing business. The high water
in Boise river, Notwithstanding it has
washed out many of the head gates and.
dams of the local farmers irrigating
bitches, has been more useful than
detrimental; from the fact that there is
much more Of the high lands planted
this year in wheat that has not been
cultivated to this season, the crops will
be very abundant and farmers in this
locality will reap a rich harvest.
We call the attention of the road
supervisors or county commissioners or
whoever has charge of the public high
ways, to the fact that there are several
crossings On the road between Cald-
well and Lower Boise valley impossible
for loaded wanons, the bridges on these
crossings being washed away by the
past high stage Of water. In justice 10
the local farmers and the public travel,
those crossings should be attended to
Immediately.

Europe can boast.

Europe can boast.
Consider for one moment tina. less
than twenty-five 70 years ago the United
States WAS compelled to import wheat
to support our people, while to-day our
farmers produce over Ave hundred
million bushels, and our surplus for ex-
port reaches the enormous amount OF
two hundred million bushels OF wheat
alone.
The question naturally arises, whore
Is the secret power that has wrought
these wonderful changesi Tho answer
is plair-THE REAPlEG MACHINE,
THE MOWER. The railroad and tho
telegraph have all combined to accom-
plish these marvellous results; but no
doubt the most i'm Dortant factor been
the reaper and mower.
Therefore, we say this address Is Of
Importance to every farmer IN tho ooun-
try, If we are going to say q fsw words
about the best mower and reaper ev.r

How the Land OfIlce IL Conducted.

For several years Republican plat.
forms have been declaring in favor OF
reserving the public lands for actual
settlers. In spite OF the fact that most
of it that possessed value had been given
away already, this promise vas COM
paratively safe one to make. But there
was yet some of the public domain not
taken up. And this, 1t was supposed,
was to be kept sacred in order that the
great surplus land supply OF this country
might not be exhausted before its time
But even this promise has never been
kept. a series Of reports just made by
the agents and inspectors Of the general
land Office reveal the fact, well'known to
everybody but the officials Of that bu
reau, that millions Of acres have been
fenced In by ranchmen and thousands of
fraudulent pre.emptiOn and homestead
claims fled and the land appropriated.
The reports, which are far from com.
plete, show that the cattle men of the
West have fenced in more than five
millions Of acres, without the slightest
shadow of a right. At the same time
more than $500 fraudulent claims have
been discovered, and more than 5000
more of the same kind are awaiting
action.
All these frauds have been carried on
without the conviction OF u single one
or the perpetrators. Nothing has been
done TO stop them, aud but little at.
tempted. When they have been dis
covered nothing has been done to punish
these serious offences against the laws,
When few hundred men have persist
emily invaded the Indian territory they
have very properly been elected. But
ranchmen, both American and foreign,
have invaded the different territories and
fenced up the public lands without any
serious attempt TO stop the aggression
The indians ought to be protected il
their lands, but so ought the white men
women and children who want homes OF
the prairies of the West.
III tho land Office was occupied by
men both honest and competent, thi.
sorry business would soon be stopped
The laws are ample for the protection OF
the government from plunder and the
iandless folk from this shameless rob
