they purchased port of the William
Heron farm near Salem and there resided
and built another home, until the spring of
1882 when he sold the farm and during the
following summer accompanied by wife
and youngest daughter he visited the old
home in Wisconsin where his aged mother
then IS years old still resided on the land
he had helped to clear for her and his father
in his early boyhood days. Returning to
Oregon after a brief visit he moved in April
1888 to the present home about a mile west
of Salem near the state insane asylum,
where he once more commenced to build a
home for his old age in which he hoped to
rest from hard work and care and where
after an illness of few weeks he died
surrounded by loved ones and kind friends,
aged fifty mine years, eight months and
two days. On the llth day of last Feb
ruary he went to serve On the jury of Marion
county. He served during spell of cold
weather in which part of the time there
was deep snow on the ground. During the
first week he caught severe cold and con-
tinued to serve as juror instead of asking
the court to excuse him, until the end of two
weeks, at which time the cold had developed
into severe case of pneumonia which
finally resulted in his death.
Thus closes the life of another old pioneer

HOW CAN THE MORMON RULE BE
BROKEN

During the past 20 years the Nor
nous have held an undisputed sway
in Idaho, and dictated all the legisla-
ton. Any legislation calculated to
encourage the development of the
mines and the opening up of our val.
leys to settlement by the Gentiles,
was successfully opposed and pre-
vented, while, at the same time, the
emissaries of the Mormon church
seized upon every acre of available
land which they could hope to hold.
In this way the fertile lands in the
valley of the Bear, in Oneida and
Cassia counties, were taken up, under
the various land laws, and are now so
firmly held by the Mormons that they
are beyond the reach, for entry, settle
ment or purchase, of the Gentiles.
Having thus secured large part
of the most fertile portion of the Ter
rtory, the Mormons are now directing
their attention to other counties.
Several Mormon families have already
located on Little Wood River, on Lost
River, on Big Wood River, and on
Camas Prairie, in this county; while
Others have done the same in Boise
county, which is one part Of the Coun-
Gil District of which Alturas is the
other. The object of the Mormon
priesthood is evident.
Two years ago, the most intelligent
oil the Democrats of Idaho, unable to
longer bear the odium of Mormon
rule and Mormon association, openly
revolted; and when, in the Territorial
Convention, the Morn.ons succeeded,
as usual, in placing in nomination
man Of their own choosing, they left
the Ionvention IN disgust. The bolt
which then; took place profted the
Republican candidate for Congress,
and for the first time in nearly twenty
years Republican delegate was re-
turned from Idaho. To Offset this
bolt, and also the probability of an
equal disaffection this year, the Nor
mons have been actively engaged, in
the past two years, in co!onizing the
southern and southeastern tier of |
counties, and over 1000 Mormon
new corners are now in Oneida and |
Bear Luke counties alone that were
net there two years ago.
Bur during the past two years there
has been a heavy Gentle accession to
the Territory, and it is likely that the
strength of the respective parties,
Mormon and anti Mormon, h S not
very materially changed, and that the
Mormons and their Democratic allies
still hold the balance Of power.
To break this balance of power, this
Mormon conspiracy, should be the end
and aim, irrespective Of party, ofevery
right thinking man in the Territory Of
Wood River times. [volume] (Hailey, Idaho) 1882-1915, 1884-07-19
