Desert Land on Camas Prairie.

Along the base of the foothills
bordering Camas Prairie, there is a con-
siderable quantity of land that will
not produce crop without artificial
irrigation, and several immigrants
have taken up land under the desert
land act. But no actual test of the
land has been made yet Seth Heath,
who has taken up section, will, how
ever, pillow up a few acres in the spring,
and SOW an early grass, in order to
demonstrate the character of the land.
Ii 1t grows crop without irr cation,
it will not be desert land, and will
have to be relinquished.

THE COUNTY SAFE.
1t is Locked Up, and No One Can
Open 1t.

"A few days ago the County Re-
corder and Auditor left for the East.
intending to be gone several weeks.
Before he left he gave some instruc-
tons about the work in his office, but
neglected to unlock the safe or give
the combination to Mr.. Garrett, his
deputy. The safe is therefore locked,
and it is impossible to open it. The
minutes Of the Board Of County Com
mlssloncrs, the warrant books, and
other documents that are almost daily
needed and consulted, are all locked up.
and it is impossible for any one to get
to see them.
The negligence Of the Recorder and
Auditor is inexcusable. 1t was bad
enough for him to absent himself. and
leave his office in charge Of deputies,
without leaving his safe locked, so
that no one can get into it. The safe
ought to be unlocked at once, even if
the services Of an expert have to be
called on. Such a man as f. H.
Hendrlck, for instance, could doubtless
open it in half an hour.

CAMAS PRAIRIE.
1t Contains Over $500 H0mesteads OF
100 Acres Each.

100 Acres Each.
The Registe and Receiver of the
Haley Land Office recently figured
up, from the plats, the quantity of
arabic land on the main Camas Prairie
that is to say, between the hills and
mountains which bound the Prairie on
either side-and found it to contain
over $4,000 acres. BY adding the
arabic land area alond the various
creeks and in the gulches imme L.
ately adjoining, the total area
was found to be considerably over
100000.
This quantity of land will afford
homesteads of 100 acres each for L.
552 claimants. AS each farm will re-
quire at least four laborers, they will
afford employment for at least $3.50
men. In time this number will be
quadrupled, SO that it is safe to say
that in few years the Prairie will
support $4,000 souls.

THE TELEPHONE SYSTEM.
IT Is BEING RAPIDLY EXTENDED
THROUGHOUT IDAHO.

A Through Line Between Boise, Cald.
well, and Hailey-Prsposed Exten.
siOns-A Change Of Local Managers.
! G. +. Annett, Vice President and
General Manager of the Rocky Noun
tain Bell Telephone Company, came
in from Boise and Caldwell this morn
ing. He reports the telephone bust
ness as rapidly increasing. Besides
live exchange at Caldwell, there is a
connecting line with Boise which is in
splendid condition. The wire is No.
., W estern Union size, and, by means
of an alternate switch it is used for
telephone or telegraph business, at the
will Of the operator, ard Boise City
thus enjoys all the advantages of a
direct connection with the entire
Western Union telegraph system
BY this line messages are now delv-
cred in Boise IN less than five minutes
after they are sent from Haley. The
alternate switch is a new idea of Mr..
Annett's, which has just been put
into practice, and which will be gen
orally adopted throughout the United
States at an early day. Boise can,
however, lay claim to having had the
first in use. The tariff between Cald-
well and Boise is so cents, distance
80 miles.
1t is Mr.. Annett's intention to
greatly extend the lines here in the
spring. With Haley as the central
or starting point, lines will be con-
structed up Deer Creek, East Fork,
Warm Spring and Trail creeks, and
on to Galena, Vienna, Sawtooth, At,
lanta and Rocky Bar. These exten
sions are not determined upon yet as
to time, bat if the mine owners re-
spond properly they will be made in
the spring.
In HALEY efforts are to be made to
extend the system to residences, as
this is the only exchange in the Rocky
Mountain country which has no tele
phones at residences. At the expira-
ton of the current six mouths, and I
the contract calls for IS per
month rent, the rate will be reduced |
at least S per month. If reasonable
Increase of business results, the rate
will be further reduced.
AS there has been great deal of
about the tariff charged |
subscribers for the use Of the ketchum
wire, that tariff may be abolished in
the spring, if the subscribers consent
to a small increase in the rent of in
All-night service will also be COM
menced at as early a date, in the
spring, as practicable.
Mr.. Annett left this afternoon for
Bellevue, and will 90 hence to Sho-
,hone, Ogden and Salt Lake by train,
this evening. He will probably not
'eturn here before April; but at that
lime will come prepared to remain
ong enough TO bring the Wood River
telephone system to its highest degree
If efficiency.
a new public Office has been
opened in Hodgman's restaurant, for
he accommodation of such persons,
lot subscribers, who may wish to use
| public telephone. This new office
will be ready to transact business by
noon tomorrow, and in few DAYS
will be open all night to Bullion,
Bellevue, and kctcIlum.

NEW WEISER,
A Town that is Building Up to Replace
Weiser.

I. f. Annett reports considerable
activity at the new town of Weiser.
Three buildings are up already, and
lumber for number of other buildings
is on the ground. The material to
build a first class hotel is being re.
ceved, and as soon as start can e
made the hotel will be pushed to COM
pletion. The old town of Weiser is
two miles away from the railroad, and
is bound to 60 under soon, as a new
town Is sprlnging up at the railway
depot which will transact all the bust
ness of that section. Lots IN the new
town are selling from $50 to 800.

THE ROAD TAX FOR 1884.
1t Will Not be Due Until After the April
Meeting Of the County Commits.
siOnerS--Mr. Banfleld's Statement.

John NJ. Banfeld is model official.
AT the January, 1888, meeting of the
Board of County Commissioners, he
was appointed Road Supervisor for
this District, and discharged the du-
ties of the office after a fashion. Last
fall, when snow fell, his office was
supposed to have expired, but Mr.
Banfeld entertained different opin-
ion, and yesterday began collecting
road taxes for 1884. Several paid,
but the matter coming to the ears
of Commissioners Morrill, and Van
landlngham, they promptly put stop
to it. Their official notice of the fact
appears under the head "New To-
Day"
AS Mr.. Banfield had no right to
collect the tax, it follows that those
who paid him for 1884 will have
to pay again. They had, therefore,
better demand their money back from
Mr.. Banfeld, who will doubtless re-
pay it.
AT the April meeting of the Board
OF County Commissioners, the Super
visors for 1914 will be appointed.

Americas Place.

Mr., Blaine's letter covers the ground.
1t is the most comprehensive and point
ed acceptance probably ever written by
any nominee. 1t defines the issues on
all the disputed points between the par
ties. 1t is the best campaign document
that could be circulated. We print II
entire in the German language. Its
reference to the rights Of American citi-
zens at home and abroad will be APP
plauded by every German-American.
= A policy like that foreshadowed
by him for this continent would, in due
time, make the United States the first
nation on the globe. The aspirations of
the letter are all in the right direction.
1t is not only letter of acceptance Of
our candidate, but a message from him
to the people of the United States to
look around, and, recognizing their
greatness, come forward to assume the
place provided for them on the roll Of
the nations and empires.-[ Der New

Garfield and Lincoln.

When General Garfield was on his way
to Washington to be inaugurated as
President of the United States, John
B-,a well known public man from
Ashtabula, boarded the train. lie had
been one of Garfeld's pupils when the
latter taught in log school house in the
backwoods. As the teacher boarded
with Mr.. BIS mother, they had been
more intimate than is usual with master
and scholar.
Many magnificent stories were told
when they met which illustrated the
hard struggles of the future President
In his youth. One was, that on some
occasion he was invited to country
party, but on the very day 1t was to
take place he split at the knee one leg
Of his trousers. He had but one pair OF
very coarse jeans, and no money to buy
another. Garfield had set his heart on
going to the merry-making, and was
bitterly disappointed.
"You go TO bed," said his hostess,
"and let me see what can do"
The teacher obeyed, and In an hour re-
oeived his trousers so neatly darned that
1t was impossible to find where they had
been broken. lie thanked her so ear
nestly that the good woman cried out.
"Never mind, Mr.. Garfield; When
you are a great man In the Ohio Legisla-
ture, nobody'll ask you how many pairs
of trousers you had when you taught up
here In the Reserve.
This little incident recalls n story told
OF our other martyred President. In
1880 a travelling peddler came one even
ing to a cabin In Illinois, and asked the
farmers wife If he could stay at the
house all night.
1--WE can feed your beast" was the an
swer, "but we cannot lodge you unless
you are willing to sleep with the hired
man."
"Let's have n look at him first" said
the peddler.
The woman pointed to the side Of the
house where lank, six-foot man, In
ragged but clean clothes, was stretched
on the grass reading book. "He'll do"
said the stranger.

coln.-- Youths Companion.
