Petitions are circulating to have the
stage road across the prairie changed
still further south. A good idea would
be to throw the road clear down to Sal
mon river at once, and keep it there, so
We won't have to break new road
every year for the exclusive benefit of
Tom, Dick and Harry. AS a matter of
fact the road will eventually have to be
put back to It's old location through the
Centerville ranch, thus shortening the
distance across the prairie two miles.
Sheriff White returned from Blackfoot
Saturday, where he had been with Wal
ter Fem, and reports that he had not
much trouble, although he was at times
quite violent. He says the asylum is
model of comfort and convenience, and
when the new addition is built, for
which the legislature appropriated $15,
600, it will be the model institution of
its kind. There are sixty-eight patients
now under confinement, and MIR. White
speaks of DIR. Biyens as being pre-emi-
nently the right man in the right place.
Section 3I03 of the Code, relating to
the location of lode mining claims says:
every claim must be recorded within
fifteen days from the time of the posting
of the notice, in the district in which
the same is situated, or at the nearest
office to the claim" Our construction
of the law is that locators are obliged TO
have their claims recorded in the dist
rict records. The fee is two dollars in
any event, and this sum is divided e.
recorders, and if you don't want to pat
cost you two dollars to get the claim re-
corded at the county seat.
