It seemed there was limit to Miss Car

it did not reach to the reproduction Of that
official seal, which would have been q neccs-
sary appendage to tn, governors grant. But
there werc letters written on stamped paper
by Governor Micheltorena to himself, Gar
cia, and to Miguel, and to Miguel's father, oil
of which were duly signed by the sign manual
and rubric of Mrs. Governor Michcltorcna
Carmen de Haro. And then there was
"parol" evidence, and plenty of it; witnesses
who remembered everything about it
namely, Manuel, Miguel and tho all-reco1lect-
ing Dc Haro; here were details, poetical and
suggestive; and Dame Quicklyish, as when
his latc excellcncy, sitting not "by a scc-coa]
fire." but with aguardiento and cigarros, had
sworn to him, the ex-ecclesiastical Mguel,
that he should grant, and had granted
Garcia's request. There wcro cloud.

wanted but tho seal of hiscxcellency. The only
copy of that was in tho possession Of a rival

antiques, then doing business before tho land
commission.
And yet the claim was rejected! Having
lately recommended two separate claimant:

Roscommon was at first astounded, then

With the readers previous knowledge oi
Roscommon's disposition this may seem
somewhat inconsistent, but there are certain,
natures to whom litigation has all the excite

But not without q chance shot from Car

WHAT THE FAIR HAD TO DO ABOUT n.
Wood River times. [volume] (Hailey, Idaho) 1882-1915, 1886-02-04
WOULD A DIVISION BE ADVANTAG.
EOCS2

The Atlanta News of the 27th ult.
comes to us with an article adyocat.
ing the division Of the county. The
article may have been inspired in Ada
county (which has always looked
with longing eyes upon Alturas's
broad acres and it may not. But
that is of little consequence. The
question for the people to consider is:
Is it to our interest to permit divis.
ion OF the county? If, after proper
consideration, it be concluded that we
would be better off-that our bur,
dens would be lessened, and our pros
perity increased-if the territorial
area of the county were diminished,
then by all means let us divide it.
But if the reverse is the case, then let
us endeavor to remain as we are.
We confess that we fail to discov-
er any great advantage to result from
the proposed division, while we can
see that it would prove very detrimen-
tai to our growth and prosperity. If
the county were divided into two or
more counties, there would be two or
more sets of officials to maintain, with
all the attendant expense; and the al
ready heavy burden resting upon the
taxpayers would be just about double,
without any compromising benefit.
We are therefore OF the opinion
that sound public policy dictates that
Alturas county remain as she is few
years longer, or until her population
shall have increased to such proper
tons as to render division necessary.

A ROUGH ONE ON THE UTAH LEG.
STATURE.

An article recently published in the
Salt Lake Democrat is headed: "Why
the Democrat Retracts-An Apology
rendered to the Members of the Leg
iSlature who are Either 'Naturals or
Idiots" The article shows in what
ridiculous light Utah's Legislature is
looked upon by the sensible people
there, and is rich enough to make
good reading for those of the TINES
subscribers who are in any way posted
on Utah matters.
The article is probably from the
pen of Mr.. Edward Pike Zone of the
early newspaper men on Wood River,
who is fast gaining reputation as
facetious and sarcastic writer.
The Democrat says:
1t is with feelings of regret, and the
writer may say in spirit of sincere
contriteness, that the Democrat has.
tens to apologize for an item which
appeared in its local columns last
evening, and which, the Democrat is
grieved and exceedingly sorry to note,
has been construed 10y some of the
members themselves) to reflect upon
the good looks, the intellectual status
and mental soundness of the Utah
Legislature. The following is the
item referred to:
1t is not an uncom mon thing in the
States AMI Territories for the members
Of the Legislatures to visit public
buildings and institutions-say, for in
stance, an insane asylum. The Utah
Legislature will therefore follow good
precedent when its members inspect
the Territorial institution at Provo
next week. The one thing to be re-
GREETED is that the department for
naturals and idiots is not yet rcaoy
for patients. If it were, the Legisa-
ture might be proftably installed by
leaving few of its chroQic and hope
less cases in an institution to which
they rightfully belong.
The attention of the Democrat hav-
ing been called to the grievous nature
of such a report and the crue! suspi-
cion which it naturally fastens upon
the whole number to include the few,
we feel that nothing but full and
humble apology can satisfy the in
jured feelings of those members who
have been 80 insanely outraged.
Common justice demands that the
Democrat retracts and we-retract
We hate to do it; but when the intel
lectual calibre of such a body as the
Utah Legislature enters the question
we are going to suppress our own
feelings in the matter and see that jus.
tice gets all the points she is entitled
to. 1t is not the policy of the Demo
crat to retract, and we wish each and
every member of the Legislature to
distinctly understand that No Re-
traction bill has passed its third read
ing and become law in the Demo
crat Office. The present apology is
offered under suspension of the
rules and cannot come up again in
the regular order of business.
But while the Democrat has hum
bled itself to apologize to the wise
men Of the Territory for Inferring that
the public interest would be better
served if few OF their number were
living at the expense of the Territory
at rs per week in the insane asylum
rather than by drawing So per day for
being loose in its legislative halls, the
writer submits that according to gen.
erai belief and information there is
come foundation to the article, i'm
the light of which the Democrat
Wood River times. [volume] (Hailey, Idaho) 1882-1915, 1886-02-04

had the great American privilege Of
publishing it.
For instance, in referring to one of
the members from the COW counties
the other evening, who has no mental
means of comprehending the differ
ence between an amendment to an
amendment and motion to go into
committee of the whole, brother
member remarked: "Why in HI
don't they keep such id fools at
home!" The Democrat reporter was
panied to hear such a bro,herly ex-
preston, but when to this another
member of the Legislature added
that, "If he would only keep his id
mouth shut he would be ali right"
the reporter felt positively shocked.
Other illusions as to what a night
school might be able to do in resur-
rectlng the mental faculties of various
members are passed by in silence.
Even the assertion that a prominent
member made to a Democrat reporter
this morning that, II know there are
some id fools among u.s." shall not
be called into question. 1t was by
these and similar remarks that the
Democrat was led Into the error it
committed yesterday. But this jour
nal las now c'ear>d its conscience by
full reparation, and in conclusion we
have only to say that the - fools
referred to by the members them
selves were the ones referred to by
the Democrat last evening.

HALLS
Vegetable SiCilian
HAIR REVIEWER:

~ MRS. HUNsBERBY, 344 Franklin Ase.s
Brooklyn, NJ L., after severe attack OF Fry
sipelas in the head, found her bair-aready
gray--falling or SO rapidly that she soon became
quite bald. One bottle Of HALLS HAIR RE.
NEWER brought 1t back soft, brown and
thick as when she was girl.
81 Mr.. KEsLINa, an old farmer, near War
sd,r, Ind, had scarcely any hair left, and what
little there was Of 1t had become nearly white.
One bottle Of Halls HAIR RENEwER stopped
Its falling out, and gave him q thick, luxuriant
head Of hair, as brown and fresh ~ he ever had.
"a Mns. A. r. WALL, Greenfield, Cneshire,
Eng, writes: 81 have found the greatest ben
eft from the usc Of HALLS HAIR REVIEWER. il
having restored my hair, which was rapily fall
ing of, and returned its original color"
81 DIR. EMIL sEIr, Detroit, Mich, eertifes

hair growing, and gives back the natural color
to faded and gray hair"
81 Mrs. 8. Z. ELLIOTT, Chenille, ". Td.,
says: "Onc bottle of HALLS HAIR RENEwRR

No injurious substances enter into the
composition of HALLS HAIR REVIEWER,
and 1t Is not dye. Its vegetable ingre-
dients render 1t in the highest degree bcne-
fetal to the scalp as o preventive of dis
ease. Its effects are natural and lasting,
and 1t does not make the hair dry and
brashy, like the so-called reStoratives COM
pounded with alcohol.
