PLEASE NAME HIM.

The Haley News-Miner claims
that it's reporter had a conversation
with a prominent and well in
formed citizen of Rocky Bar, who is
bitterly opposed to county division.
and it is his opinion thatstwo-thirds
Of the voters Of Rocky Bar and At
lanta would oppose division; that
the expense Of coming to HALEY is
no more than it is to Mountain
Home, and that it is much cheaper
to run one county than two Now.
Brothers Richards, knowing that
you will not be suceessfu-.. in win
ming new hats on the Presidential
election this fall-provided you bet
on the Repub. candidate-the BuL.
LET1N will present each of you with
one when you divulge the name OF
the aforesaid prominent citizen Of
Rocky Bar" Talk is cheap but
it takes money to buy hats for such
Websterian heads as those of the
Messrs. Richards.

AS 1T SHOULD BE.

The county division matter is
moving along just right-quietiy
but earnestly. No bad manage
ment this time. By all means, gem
tlemen, when you get ready for
such action, select a brainy man to
go to Washington. Such a man
can be found at either of the towns
in Gilmore territory reliable,
honest, energetic man-not a self
inflated nonentity that would dis
grace us at the National Capital.
We have been reminded that Mr..
Duboise was against us two years
ago. Well, suppose he was? A
great many who were against US
then will be with US next time. Be-
sides, should Duboise fail to give
the matter deserved attention, then
place it in the hands of either SEN
ator Dolph or Mitchell, of Oregon,
or Uncle George Hearst, Of Califor-
MIA, and it would receive prompt at
tention. Keep the division ball
rolling.

AN HONEST MAN.

Hon. John s. Lewis, of Three
Creek, Owyhee county, visited our
town this week. There are hosts
Of people here always glad to meet
this honest old Democrat who SO
ably represented Owyhee in the AS
sembly at the last session Of the
legislature, and who scorned the
blarney bribe-ofering approaches of
the Haley gang, headed by d.
minutive Boss Tweed, that was sent
there for corrupt purposes during
that winter. Mr.. Lewis gave US
some interesting pointers of Incl
dents that did not occur in the leg
islative halls, nor at the hotels, nor
At private residences, and which
may be convenient to use in these
columns ere long. The BULLETIN
hopes TO see Mr.. Lewis returned to
the Capital this winter again in the
capacity of a legislator, although he
swears he does not want the Office.
However, like that grand old Ro-
man, Thurman, he will not falter
when his people call upon him 50
earnestly to serve them.

HE WANTS 4 REST.

The highly intellectual and uni
versally respected che, she or it" Of
the Wood River Times calls upon
the BULLETIN to halt and "give him
. rest" on the county division ques-
ton. It is quite early in the fight
to cry for quarters, but no doubt
this person of worldwide fame (?) is
doubly sincere in his loud wall for
"a rest" on county division. He
is in dilemma-between wind and
water, as it were-calls the BULLE-
TIN editor "Smart Aleck," and
finally gets magnanimous and says:
However, if you want to go-go!
If you don't go, Of your own accord,
you may be compelledzto." How
thankful the people Of Gilmore will
be to learn that if they don't go Of
their own accord" they will be
clicked out" Of Alturas county.
But fortunately our people will not
swallow such nonsense. They know
that such assertions are made solely
to deceive them and throw them of
their guard, while the enemy at
HALEY is maturing plans and
perfecting arrangements to cinch the
people Of Western Alturas more eff
fectually than ever. But it won't
work, Mr.. Times.

LETTER. FROM MEDBURY.

The first copy Of tie Mountain
Home BULLETIN was received here last
Sunday. 1t is quite an improvement
ON the old Range and Valley. The
article on county division is good and
timely. Do so some more, and sue
cess attend your efforts.
This dull, dead place was quite lively
for short time last Saturday. A gen.
eral row was Oh hand. For several
times during the past week one of the
section men-a man devoid Of every
gentlemanly principle-had been very
offensive in some Of his actions; kick
ing at the grub, and even going into
the kitchen and trying to dictate
to Mrs. Stephenson about what
she should send out for their dinners
deliberately lied about the grub, and
capped the climax the next day by
writing an offensive note and lea wing
it in the dinner box. Although tbs
foreman Was aware Of some Of these
outrages he did not discharge the Of
fender, and u doublc-barrel shotgun
was brought to bear as arbitrator. But
unfortunately my wife prevented me
from making gentleman out of one
mean whelp, IL "good Indian" Strict
inquiries were made in Glenn's Ferry
in regard to the matter. A written
statement detailing the whole matter
will probably be submitted to Mr.. F.
l.. Olmstead for his official action. 1t
will be impossible to retain section
house keeper here unless Mr.. Fleming
does his duty or Mr. Olmstead sends q
foreman that will.
Mr.. Il. X. Stephenson passed here this
morning On his way to Mountain Home.
He intends to breed his large black
mare "Midnight' to Mr.. Carpenters
fine stallion wallace. Bro. Tom be-
lieves in improved stock and progress
sion i'll everything.
Oh, the rain, the beautiful rain. 1t
has done so much good that it is i'm
possible to estimate it's value to the
people of Idaho. Even Ben Sparlin
smiled SO broadly that the skin was
wrinkled on the back of his neck.
What an "openness" Ben has when he
smiles!
And here I would stop if it was not
for several inquiries that l have re-
ceived. They are: "What is the pop
ulation Of Mountain Homer" "What
kind Of churches have your How are
your schools?" els there travel to
justify building another hotelW Can
anything be made cut Of n furniture
store?" would Il tin shop pay?" etc
These and various other questions
are frequently being asked by friends
IN California and Arkansas. So you
see the great and important mission OIL
the BULLETIN. ]. H. STEPHENSON.
