be found a description of Ca.
mas Prairie written by j. G.
Stephens. During the next
two or three weeks another and
more detailed description of
Camas Prairie and Idaho Co.,
by ,F.Parker, will be pub
lished in these columns. The
purpose of these articles is to
present, in convenient form,
a trustworthy description of
Idaho County, and a truthful
statement of the inducements
1T offers as a home for immi-
grants from less favored local
tiles. We believe it is only
necessary to present a plain,
unvarnished statement Of the
facts concerning our garden
land, to secure the attention
of those who are seeking new
locations, and that if they will
make personal examination
of any part of the region de-
scribed herein they will find in
it such inducements as are Of
fered nowhere else. The arti-
cles were written in competi-
ton for a prize offered by the
Fairview Farmers Club, and
were revised by a committee
thereof. in order that the in
formation contained therein
should be exact and reliable in
every particular, and while the
showing is a grand one it is in
nowise overdrawn.
The articles were written by
known men of character and
intelligence, and their state
ments concerning the resources
of Idaho County are as fair
and accurate as could be given
in the brief form required. Mr..
Parker's essay is much the
longer of the two, and may re-
quire four or more weeks to
publish in instalments. Ifim-
migrants will visit our Camas
Prairie and personally inspect
the same, the object for which
these articles are published
will be fully accomplished.
Butalthough the publication
is efficient in the field filled by
the FREE PRESS, it is desired to
publish it anew in pamphlet
form that it may be distributed
judiciously in localities where
this class of literature will be
the most likely to get into the
hands of those who are seek
ing homes or profitable invest
ments. In this work of distri-
button every citizen of the
county can aid effectively by
sending to his friends in the
states few extra copies of the
FEE Press containing these
articles. Something of this
nature has long been needed
to advertise abroad the natu-
raj wealth of this royal infant,
Idaho County, and we believe
that a general distribution of
such matter at this particular
time-when there will be nat
urally much enquiry about
the new State of Idaho-and
now that the reservation is to
be opened, and with the abso-
lutte certainty of additional
wagon road and railroad con-
struction, and the rapid de-
velopment of our inside mining
camps, it will bring about such
an influx of population and
capital as will surpass our
most sanguine expectations.

FREE ENTRY TO SETTLERS.

Proposition to Give the Sioux Lands
to Settlers Instead Of Selling them.
WASHINGTON, Special Telegram,
As soon as the president sends word to
congress that he has issued the proclama-
ton opening the Sioux reservation to set
Element, Senator Pettigrew will introduce q
bill which will have an important bearing
on the subject 1t is practically an amend
ment to the act of the last congress which
provided for the negotiations with the
Sioux, and is designed to give the lands to
homesteadcrs instead Of selling them. I'M
der the act referred to the lands are open to
settlement on the same conditions as any
public lands, after the payment to the In
dians of 1.25 per acre Tor those taken the
first year, and smaller amounts thereafter.
The bill contemplates the payment Of this
money by the government instead Of by the
settler, thereby carrying the terms Of the
old act so far as the interests of the Indians
are concerned and at the same time giving
free entry to settlers on complying with the
homestead laws. This will simply be in
line with the governments past action in
opening Indian reservations from time to
time, To- in most, it not all instances, the
government, rather than the settler, has
paid the red man. The presidents procIa-
NATION is ready to be signed and the Off.
clal act may come at any hour

RECOGNIZED THE REPUBLIC.

Argentine Republic Celebrates the
Revolution in Brazil.
New YORK, Special.-The consul general
in New York of the Argentine Republic
states that Dec. that government formal
ly recognized the republic of Brazil, and
fixed Dec. as day of national celebration
OF the event. On the latter day flags were
displayed and all public places illuminated
in Buenos Ares ana salutes were fired by
men-of-war at home and abroad. This in
spite Of the utterances of Senior Lafayette
Rodrigues Pereira, who was Emperor Dom
Pedro's prime minister, and also delegate
to the Pan-American congress. Senior Pc
reira is said to be in bad repute at present
by reason of his actions and utterances upon
recent occasions at Washington. When the
news of the fall of the Brazilian monarchy
came Pereira started for that country
at once. He was glad enough, how
ever, to get away from there, it
is said, and is now in Paris
This Decree" said Consul General Calvo
lis the best recognition given the new re-
public of Brazil by any country, either
republic or monarchy, i'll the world, and
was passed as soon as practicable after the
change of government had taken place. 1
think there is not the least doubt that the
new republican government will hold its
own, and as soon as it can properly organ
ize itself will grow rapidly in favor. But
we do not like to be misrepresented as to
our position towards it by such men as
Lafayette Pereira, hence l hasten to make
public these documents. The Indignation
OF the Argentine people with that of the
Brazilian republicans is justly raised
against Pereira for what he said in the
papers in Washington regarding the lead
ing men of the new Brazilian government
right after the late proclamation of the
republic
