THE CEUR D'1LENE PUR-
CHASE.
One Hundred and Fl1fy 7Hoas-
and Heres for SJO0,OOO.

After four weeks of hard la
Dor the commissioners sue
ceeded in purchasing the $780,
600 acres Of the Occur d'Alene
reservation for the sum Of
100000. The land purchas-
ed takes most of the lake front
on the east side and a large
portion of frontage on the
west side. The boundary
line on the east side of the
lake starts from the west
shore of the lake opposite the
mouth of the Occur d'Alene
river and runs due east to the
east line Of the reservation,
thence north along the reser-
walton to the north line of the
reservation, thence west to
the west line of the reserva-
ton, thence south for a dis
lance of twelve miles, thence
to the west shore of the lake.
The land purchased by the
commissioners is nearly all
mineral and timber land, al
though along the banks of the
u A
some rich bottom land, and al
SO some scattering prairies
near the lake. From parties
well acquainted with that Sec
ton OF the country we learn
that there about $4,000 acres
suitable for farming and stock
raising, while the balance is
very rich mineral and good
timber land.

l see you are getting con-

this part of Idaho and am
glad to know that so many
people are willing to tell what
they know as we'll as many
things they don't know. One
fellow has told you that the
fires have dried up the waters
of Payette lakes and left the
red fish dying on the bottom.
Now, if the waters of this low
'er lake were dried up, your in
formant would not dare to 90
to the bottom to learn the fate
of the red fish, for it would be
a hole in the ground half a
mile deep and very precipitous
sides. A little grass and a
few logs and trees on fire fifty
feet from the water will hard
ly generate heat enough to af-
feet this lake even in a dry
season like the present. An
other man has found chain of
