Blackfoot News: A Boise syndi
cate offers to pay the members O
the constitutional convention 66:
cents on the dollar for per diem
and mileage, provided the conven
ton completes its labors. This
heavy discount would make one be
lieve that the financial barometer
of Boise indicates a storm ahead
Expensive statehood and partisan
moves to promote individual mem.
bers will create a storm cloud that
will be as destructive to statehood
as the cloudburst was to the town
of Johnstown. But with safeguards
against these the per diem and
mileage should be worth 100 cents
on the misunderstanding like
10000 head of cattle have been
shipped over the Utah & Northern
road to Montana this summer, and
double that number have been
driven overland. The range in that
territory is evidently being over
stocked, and should this winter
prove as hard as winter before last,
the loss in cattle and horses will
be enormous.-If the convention
make statehood cost every man,
woman and child, Indian, Mongo-
liam and army mule two dollars per
head, then every man, woman and
child, Indian, Mongolion and army
mule will say let US postpone state
hood until there are more of US.
Leader: Never was the Weiser
river so low, ii is said by our oldest
as it is to-day. We went
down to the river this week and it
is simply dry creek $50 to speak,,
any one can cross it dry shod in a
half dozen places, from here to its
mouth. If we do not have rain be-
lore September it will be a serious
oss to the community. We hear
rom ranchers north of here that
Ill the springs are drying up, and
t seems as though this state of
Kings prevails everywhere in this
county. 1t behooves stock owners
% prepare for the worst, for if we
nave no more rain till late in the
reason stock must suffer to great
extent. If we have a hard winter,
IS is predicted by many, the loss
# stock will be immense. Secure
'our hay while you can, even if it
g ten dollars ton, for if there is
10 change for the better, it will be
log cheap at that.
