STATEHOOD.

Elsewhere on this page will be
found proclamation of the Gov
ernor of Idaho calling an election
for delegates to constitutional
convention at Boise City on July
4th.. A bill providing for this
convention and the pay of its
members failed in the last legisla-
ture, and the governor has called
the convention ostensibly without
pay, although the expense incurred
will undoubtedly be met by future
legislat ion.
While to the casual observer the
sentiment in favor of statehood
would seem to be overwhelming
quite an intelligent opposition on
the grounds of politics and increas-
ed taxation has sprung up in South
ern Idaho.
No matter what merit or demer-
it the statehood proposition may
have the question is not now before
the people in that light. An cleo
ton for delegates to constitutional
convention for Idaho has been call
ed and will be held. Now, what
are you going to do about it ?
Shall majority of the people OF
Idaho choose intelligent, honorable
and conservative delegates for this
grave charge, or shall an unscrup-
ulous minority choose their own
tools to frame the document?
Whether citizen believes in
statehood or not cuts no figure in
the election of delegates. That
question will not properly come up
until the document framed by the
delegates is submitted for approval
or rejection. If the constitution is
adopted statehood viii be granted
at the opening of congress in De-
cember next-or at least such will
be the case if the promises of con-
gressmen can be relied upon; if the
constitution is rejected the whole
statehood scheme is laid over in
definitely.
The Tribune believes that there
is no other alternative than for
every e.tizen-be he in favor OF
statehood or otherwise-to see that

Last week Wednesday President
Harrison threw the locality in In
dian Territory known as Oklahoma
orea to settlement. April % is the
day fixed for settlement and all
persons entering before that date
will be elected. Oklahoma proper
has only 100000 acres, but pur-
chases from the Indian tribes on
the east have increased the amount
open to settlement to over 100000
acres. The government purchased
these lands nearly a generation ago,
for the use of tribes of Indians
which were partly civilized. But
the Indians did not settle them,
and now, under pressure of the
whites desiring settlement, it is
opened for occupation under the
national laws. There is room in
the present territory for 10000
householders, giving each 100
acres of land. Thousands of set
tiers are anxiously awaiting the
arrival of April 22d. The land can
be taken only under the homestead
law.

GOVERNOR sHOUP.

Last Saturday telegram was re-
ceived from Washington stating
that Col. GeoI. Shoup, Of Salmon
City, had been appointed Governor
of Idaho, and later dispatches bring
the cheerful news that the Senate
has confirmed the appointment.
Thus Idaho again has gov
ernor appointed from her represen-
tative citizens.
That the high standard of eff
ficiency in territorial affairs attain
ed by Gov. Stevenson, will be con-
tinued under Gov. Shoup, goes
without saying. The following from
the Boise Statesman will give recent
arrivals in the Territory some in
sight as to the character and ability
of our new Governor:
1t is thirty years since Col.
Shoup crossed the plains to make
his home in the 'Far West" He
first opened mercantile establish
ment between Central City and
Nevada in Gilpin county, Colorado,
in May, 1858. He soon became
prominent, and having obtained the
command of the Third Colorado,
with his regiment fought the Indians
who had been depredating along the
Platte Valley robbing and murder
ing emigrants, and at the battle of
Sand Creek totally routing them
under the command of Black Ket-
tie, killing between five and six
hundred. Since that time the
savages have made no trouble on
the plains East of the Rockies, and
comparatively little in the noun
tains. He struck them blow as
did Harvey years before at Ash
Hollow. A year or two after this
battle Col. Shoup came to Idaho.
His career here as a successful bus
mess man is without parallel in
the history of the Territory. His
sales at the house he has established
in Salmon City amount to 81, ZOO
per day for the year. He supplies
all the towns below with goods,
sending them away by means of
fatboats. He has recently con-
structed large brick, fre-proof
store building at a cost of nearly
100000: His great business abil-
ity will come to his aid in discharg-
ing his duties as Governor, and the
people, and particularly the tax
payers, will reap the benefits result
ing therefrom."

RELIEF FOR HOMESTEADERS.

In last weeks Tribune was an
article under the caption "a Good
Law" Since its publication we
have had several inquiries from in
terested parties asking if the in
formation thus conveyed was
really law, as the officers of the
Land Office at Boise City had no
official knowledge of it. The ar
ticle in question was taken from the
National Domain, a publication at
Washington devoted exclusively to
land laws, rulings and decisions.
The same issue says:
''The act, as published, is copy
of that contained in the Congress
sional Record, and may or may not
be exactly the act passed. The
law as signed by the president has
not yet been printed"
From this we would infer that
the information conveyed in last
weeks issue is correct as whole,
but not positive as to detail. How
ever, the Land Commissioner is
now at.work on a circular explain
ing the provisions of the new law,
which will be issued soon. For
the benefit of those who failed to
note the Importance of the article
last week, brief synopsis is given:
That any person who has not
heretofore perfected title to a tract
of land of which he has made en-
try under the homestead law, may
make a homestead entry of not ex-
ceeding one quarter section, such
previous filing to the contrary not
withstanding. That whenever it
shall be made to appear to the
register and receiver of any public
land office, under such regulations
as the Secretary of the Interior
may prescribe, that any settler is
unable, by reason of a total or par
tial destruction of crops, sickness
or other unavoidable causalty, to
secure a support for himself or
family upon the land settled upon,
then the register and receiver may
grant such settler leave of alb
sence from living on claim for any
period not exceeding one year;
such absence will not be deducted
from the actual residence required
by law.
If this latter clause proves COR
rect it will be quite a blessing to
settlers on our sage brush lands
who have no water for irrigation.
Another section of the new law al
lows homesteaders who have al
ready secured title to less than
1850 acres under the homestead law,
or who shall hereafter acquire title
to less than 100 acres under the
homestead law, shall be entitled to
enter as a personal right and not
assignable by legal subdivisions of
the public lands of the United
States, so much additional land as
added to the quantity previously so
entered by him shall not exceed
100 acres. The person making
such additional entry will have to
with the homestead laws
as to actual residence and cultiva-
ton unless the land so entered is
contiguous to the original entry.
Section 7 of the new law pro-
vides that final proof can be made
within ten days following the day
advertised as upon which final
proof is to be made in cases where
accident or unavoidable delays
have prevented the applicant or
witnesses from making such proof
on the date specified.

So as a last resort he invoked the
aid of a matrimonial agency and
was placed in correspondence with
a fair widow, who described herself
as being very small, weighing only
los pounds, and the mother of a
two-year-old daughter. Being mu-
tually pleased with the descriptions
of each other meeting was ar
ranged to take place at Soda Springs,

dissatisfied the affair was to go. no
further. But fortunately for Mr..
