Mr.. S. Dillinger was out from Dixie
taking in the Fourth of July,and reports
light water season in there, but other
wise he is doing well. He says the

the Idaho Consolidated Mining Co., is
now in Weller & Wax's warehouse and
will be forwarded by the first train. 1t
is very complete affair, and will be
followed later by furnace and chlorine
works for the complete reduction of the
ores.
Dad Miller had 100 apple trees detroy
ed by grasshoppers on his ranch the
other day, and in other neighb Dor hoods
they are proving equally destructive.
This comes from killing the prairie
chickens. which eat the grasshopper's
eggs. Give the chickens a rest, and the
hpppers will then give us a rest.

"CSoIss mOffOW duu mCOTed, Oh
Craig's mountain, have been looking
over the prairie to buy land, and yester-
day they bought the d. L. Greene
ranch, four miles north of town. The
trade was made through the FREE PRESS
real estate agency. They also bought a
tier of lots in the Schmadeka addition
to Grangeville.
Mr.. Orcutt informs us that three men
wintered in Chamberlain Basin last
winter with their horses and came out
in excellent condition in the spring.
They cut four tons of hay from the
natural grass last fall, and have more
than half of it left yet. Chamberlain
basin lies in the forks of the middle fork
and main Salmon rivers, and is eoun-
try nearly as large as Csmas Prairie, ,and
as fit for agricultural occupation when il
is opened up and surveyed.
No additional information has been
received concerning the body of the
man found on Salmon river, further
than that conveyed in the letter of Mr..
Cousins. published in the F. P. last
week. We learn. however, that man
named Price, or Brice, was lost in the
Salmon City country last fall. and al
the fragments of clothing found on the
dead body correspond with that of the
man who was lost, it is in all probability
the same.
