FRAUDULENT LAND ENTRIES.

Spectators in land NAV find to
their sorrow that it is illegal to enter
o tract for the purpose Of selling it to
the "highest Ind best bid Ter" for
coin. Several of these fraudulent
cases are known to exist III the valley,
and should the attention OF the De-
partment be called to the fact, the
parties NAV come to grief. There are
also parties living on tracts of valua.
HE land Tor he purpose OF holding it
fur Il good buyer, who have no right
to it her than ,esi'lptce, and
never can have, as their rights have
all been exhausted.
The attention OF the TINES has
been called to one case in particular,
where Il most desirable quarter-sec-
ton Of land is bel" for speculation.
The tract Lad been entered some time
ago. and abandoned bv t e pre-emp-
tor because his business required lis
presence elsewhere. An unscrupu-
lous rascal who was aware OF the stu
alton at once circulated the report in
the ne,s hborhood that he had secured
the place, using the presumption fling
to cover up the fraud from those who
might search the records. The land
has ever since been held for sale, and
40 improvements whatever have been
made, though much wood has been
cut from it and hauled to market.
The party now wants to leave for the
winter, and fearful that some one
ma: jump the claim during his alb.
sence, he offers it for the very modest
sum of 1878, or thercabouts. And
this is not the only case.
Emigrants VITO would gladly settle
on these lands ~nd improve them are
led to believe that should they locate
them suit would be instituted. and in
the majority OF cases they are lily
prepared to meet the costs Of an ex-
pensive contest, and they move on.
| his is one Of the causes why the
valley is not settled and improved to.
day, and rigorous proceedings should
be instituted against the perpetrators
of such frauds The Interior Depart
ment is not aware Of their existence,
and it is the duty Of every settler to
report them, when brought to notice,
TO the Land Office, when it is safe to
say that the matter will be laid before
the Commissioner without d-lav.

How 1t Hooted a Law abiding Delegate
for Doing His Duty as a Citizen.
The outrageous attempt Of So
called Democratic Convention in
Idaho to gag Col. f. \. Wall, loyal
delegate in that convention, stamps it
as bogus aud reveals it's true character
as IA tInckling adjunct to the poIyca-
nous organization which in that Ter
ritory controls and dictates the alleged
Democratic nominations. But when,
in justice to his outraged constituency,
embracing two Of the best counties in
Idaho, Colonel Wall promptly resigned
his position as dele gate, he was met
with abuse, howls and cat-calls as he
walked out of the hall, the true in
wardness of the pious polygamsts was
truthfully developed, aud the drgra-
dation Of politicians who are IN league
with these disloyal priests became
equally apparent. Wherever the
schemng Mormon enemies of the ma.
ton get Il foothold, there ARISE trouble
and misrule. In the legitimate exer-
else of their open and avowed viola
ton Of national law, these priestlv
plottcrs are less deserving Of the con
tempt and opposition of American
citizens than the political jackals that
follow in their wake inten, on plumber
obtained through the unclean alliance.
In Idaho the prestlv element is in n
minority. but through the insanity
which divides the majority in the
presence of the enemy this compact
and reasonable minority aim to hold
tie balance of political power and
thus to contro! the selection of dele
gate to Congress and other elective
officers OF the Territory. A decent
regard for the reputation OF the Terri.
tory, and a proper view of the out
rage perpetrated upon a loyal gentle.
man like Col. Wall, requires comb.
nation Of American citizens without
regard to Democratic and Republican
proclivities, for the purpose of stamp
ing out the infamous coalition of plot
ting priests with renegade politicians,
and of defeating ut the polls its dis.
reputable nominees. - Salt Lake

WHY WE OPPOSE THE MORMONS.

Because Haley is not a fanatic,
who would prosecute for Gods sake
all who differ with Linn religiousiy, land
because he is firm believer in tn,
broad, liberal. Demoera ratio doctrine OF
letting every human being worship
God according t" the dictates Of lis
conscience, so long as he does not VIC
late the law, he and the party who's.
nominee he is, are accused Of sy,npa-
thiziny with the polvyamous doctrines
of the Mormons, and an attempt is
being made to defeat him by the false
issue thus Observation-Disclosures Sill
yer State.
The Mormons DO violate the law.
They marry just as many wives as
they wish, and deny the tact, under
oath, when on trial. They invariably
obey the mandates OF the Mormon
priesthood in preference to o,,ev,ng
the laws OF their country, and are a
standing menace to all law abiding
citizens. In the legislatures where
they manage to be elected they are
invariably to be found on the side Of
Ignorance and immortality. In Idaho,
thanks to the Mormons, there is no
law against bigamy, and until very
recently the public schools were sell
dom open for more than three or four
months per year.
This is why the enlightened people
OF Idaho oppose the Mornons. And
it is useless for the Mormon editors
and their sympathizers to raise the
cry Of persecution because of rchg.
ions sake. because the people here
know better. They know that it is
nothing OF the kind. A false issue,
indeed! False or trae, the issue is
raised, and it will never be settled
until the Mormons are made to obey
the same laws that are framed for all
w-abiding people.
