--MossrS. Maynard, Goodwin and
Eg2lGnd, Of the board of county
commissioners, agonized over coun-
ty business the fore part of this
week. Just here we want toremark
that Day county has a boaad that is
business-in-a-minute. They are not
excelled by any board in the terri
tory in careful, painstaking atten-
ton to county business. As con-
sequence, county matters are i'm
proving daily, aud especially is this
the case i'm regard to our financial
concerns. Cur people have every
reason to Congratulate themselves
over the board as at present consti-
tuted.

length and on the final vote the
council stood a tIe-HaiSh and Chill
son to grant the prayer of the petit

Sparks order susponding timber
culture and presumption entries I'M
til Aug. LIST, 1886, because congress
had under consideration the repeal
of the timber culture, presumption
and desert land laws, has been re-
called. a resolution of inquiry in
to the reasons that prompted the
Interior Department to thus attempt
to usurp the authority of Congress,
has been passed and that department
will have to stand up and take a
very disagreeable dose of medicine.
Both the Secretary of the Interior
and the Land Commissioner have
got themselves into a decidedly dis
agreeable hole, and just how they
are going to get out of it is difficult
to see.
