We have on exhibition in the Tribune
sanctum a dozen large potatoes, grown on
Snake river by Mr.. j. A.. Mathews. They
are of the Early Rose and Beauty of
Hebron varieties, and the smallest will

probably dead-if he isn't, he ought to
be. -Rdcdns Tribune.
w. f. Miller, of Currant creek, was in
town this week getting his winter supplies.
He says that the range in that locality has
been picked pretty close, but with a light
winter stock will pull through in good
condition. The ranges have been largely
overstocked by the heavy importation of
the Middlesex Cattle company, This
company will move a large portion of their
stock farther west near Bridger. -RocL

There are quite a number of large land
owners () throughout the country who
claim that they will take no notice of the
order from the president regarding the
fencing of the public domain. Ii they
can show a perfect right to hold the land
they may have under fence we cannot see
but that they are doing Just exactly what
every citizen of the country is privileged
to do; but, on the other hand, should any
crookedness on their part, in their deal
ings with the government, be developed
why, it comes under the head of n crimi.

down their works for the winter and SOME
of the interested parties have gone East.
The well is down about 500 feet, anC
would have been down further but pro.
gress was impeded by striking a soft
formation which continually caved in.
The piping on hand was not sufficient tc
case this of, SO the works were closed
down. The company is looking for oil
and il unable to find any where they
are now boring will move their machinery

the country is thoroughly tested. They

On investigation we learn that the sen

dailies contained as could be imagined. Il
seems likely that the Omaha reporter
hearing something of the affair, cooked
the item up into a sensation. We ar,
glad hat the suspicion of ourselves anC
the general public in regard to the re

The H~idepeadeat thought the men her

Carbon equally foolish for the same rea

nothing alone, and the men are anxious
to get work again. Men who make thu
loudest threats and boast of how they cal
