Idaho Republican: The uniform
rank X. of P. of Pocatello are talk
ing up an excursion to the Haley
Hot Springs on Anniversary day,
August 28th, and will probably
have large and successful dance,
if the proposed programme is car
ried out. The order is growing
steadily and made a very fine ap-
pearance at Ogden.--The apprais-
ers of the Pocatello Townsite have
been at work since about May LIST
and have nearly completed the ap-
praisement of the town lots outside
Of business streets and improve
ments. The board consists of Geo.
Cook, of Pocatello, S. J. Pritchard,
of Owyhee county and Walter
Ramsey, of Pocatello, who repre-
sents the Indians.-County COM
missioner A. NJ. Carter of Bingham
county, has been arrested under a
warrant issued by the United States
court for conspiracy and illegally
registering Mormons at the last
election while acting as register at
Rexburg. BY means of illegal votes
he was elected but with numerous
others will be tried under the cleo
ton laws of Idaho, for conspiring
to secure illegal votes.--One of
the most important facts noticed
by the Idaho Republican is an ex-
pertinent made by Mr.. Campbell,
the merchant at American Falls,
who has grown a fine, large field Of
alfalfa this year without irrigation,
on the dry, sandy loan of that sage
brush region. Mr.. Campbell says
he plowed the land first last fall
and sowed the alfalfa this spring
early. He also states that fall grain
can be raised in Idaho without ir-
rigation by carefully preparing the
ground and sowing seed early in the
fall.
~Shosbone Journal: The two Snake
river canal companies are contend
ing over the right to construct a
canal in the vicinity of Rapid City
not far from Minidoka. A tempo
rary restraining order in the case
of H. NJ. Thatcher and others has
been issued out of the district court
against J. E. Langford and N. W.
Clayton, together with an order to
show cause why an injunction, pro-
hibiting the last two parties from
prosecuting work on said canal,
should not issue to be heard at
Haley on the 18th day of July.
This will stop work on the canal
until it is definitely determined
whether or not the injunction shall
be issued. This property is very
one and one that requires
q large amount of capital to devel-
op, and it will be bad for this entire
section if the two companies viii
not be able to amicably arrange the
matter without recourse to law.
