BINGHAM COUNTY, IDA,
Its Advantages, Resources, Opportunities and
Prospects.

To the Editor Of THE HERALD:
Bingham is the great empire county of
Idaho. Its extent of territory, its number
of people, its varied resources and its
wealth make it the first and leading county
OF the state. In extent of territory it is
larger than several of the states in the
Union. In population it is at the head of
the census list of the counties in the state.
In resources it's wealth cannot be COM
puted in dollars and cents. Among it's
possessions may be counted more acres of
arabic and irrigable land, more miles of
irrigating canals and bitches, better water
supplies, more thrifty and prosperous
towns, more school districts and postoffices
than can be found in any one county in the
state. It leads too in it's number OF miles
of railroads and telegraph lines.
Far away to the north and east its noun
tains and foot hills are covered with
valuable timber; in the Tetons are the
happy hunting grounds for the brave
hunter who will chase the bear, the moose,
the elk and the deer; on the hills that sur
round and overlook the upper Blackfoot are
magnificent grazing lands for cattle and
sheep; in the Cariboo are rich mines of gold
and silver, and along the winding Snake
river the precious golden metal shines In
all the sand. In the eastern part Of the
| county are the now noted soda springs,
whose celebrated Idanha waters are appre-
ciated and drank in every state in the
Union. The low lands along the north and
south forks of Snake river and along the
great Snake river itself furnish magniti-
cent meadows OF native grasses; the bench
lands, properly irrigated, yield large and
never failing crops of the different grains
and alfalfa, while along the foothills may
be grown fruits and berries in abundance.
There is still much valuable government
lard in the county subject to entry.
Blackfoot is the county seat of this great
and prosperous county. IL is situated on
the Utah & Northern railway, about mid
way between Ogden, Utah, and Butte City,
Montana, and near the confluence of Black
foot and Snake rivers. Here are located
the State Insane asylum and the United
States land Office for the frontier counties
OF the State. The town is growing steadily
from year to year and has become to be
noted, the state over, for the intelligence
refinement and culture of its people.
This is the political year of all years fol
Idaho. For the first time her people viii
vote for president. The novelty OF voting
for chief executive Of the nation will cal
llvoters to the polls. The Republica
have control of the state government, but
their administration for the first tern
under statehood has been such a palpablt
failure that the people are growing clamor
Gus for a change, and The HERALD nay
feel safe IN telling its readers that the
change is coming and next year the place!

will know them no more for a long while

every day in Idaho. Long may it wave

Painful Accident.

One of the brakemen running on this
branch was very seriously injured on
Saturday afternoon. The work train was
standing in Bear River canon loading rock
to be hauled to the scene of the washout at
Cub river. George Robinson, the brake
man referred to, was lying on bis back
under one of the cars and was using a
wrench to tighten one of the nuts on a
brake, when the plank upon which the
workmen were rolling rock onto the car
tipped and large stone fell, striking
Robinson on the leg about midway between
the knee and ankle. Robinson was i'm
mediately brought to Logan and taken to
the Peoples hotel, where a room had al
ready been prepared for him. DR.. Ormsby,
the railroad company's physician, was at
hand and attended to the poor fellows in
juries. The doctor pronounced it COM
pound fracture. The bone was almost pro-
trudlng through the flesh.

+. G. Allen, the young fellow who was
convicted in the First District court Satur-
day of being implicated In the Wertz
hold-up near Lester park about year ago,
was taken before Judge Miner yesterday
morning and his attorneys made motion
for new trial, which was denied by the
court. The young. convict then stood up to
be sentenced, which was Imprisonment in
the penitentiary for a period of seven
years Allen evidently did not expect the
sentence to be so severe, as he sank
back into his chair as if greatly
surprised. After he had been taken
out of the court house he still asserted that
he is innocent anC stated that he would ap-
peal the case to the supreme court. He
claims 10 have friends who will aid him,
but of course that is a question. His at
torneys were seen by HERALD reporter
and one Of them stated that the fellow has
claimed all the time that he has friends in
Denver, but as yet they have been very
slow IN coming to his rescue.
While in the city jail yesterday afternoon
Allen wrote the following, a copy of which
was sent TO each of the papers represented
in Ogden:
1 wish to offer to the public few remarks
concerning my late trial. wish to state most
emphaIically that l have been unjustly con
victed Of a crime OF which l am perfectly limo
cent owing 10 the paying OF witnesses Tor the
prosecution. Mr.. WertZ has on several occas
ions ana in my hearing, made remarks to the
effect that he would spend $500 in order TO
secure my conviction. And when the Jury was
out on my case be made the remark in my hear
ing that you (meaning the person he addressed)
would see what money could do, and
again when the verdict had been rendered
he (Mr. Wertz) said to me. in the presence
of United States Marshal ST. John that T
could see what money had done.'
would also like to take this opportunity of
thanking most warmly my attorneys, for the
hard and gallant fight which they made in my
behalf. l also wish TO state that Sheriff Bel
nap, OF Weber county, deliberately swore to
things that he knew to be false; especially in
the case where he Swore that jumped out of a
three story window in a house In Colorado
Springs. receiving no injury whatever whilst
doing so.
1 also wish TO state that Prosecuting Attorney
Allison refused to admit evidence regarding my
former good character. for fear of it going t.
dlsprove the black character which he had
given me. which in my opinion was grossly un
fair and calculated to prejudice my case in the
eyes of the Jury.
1 would be greatly obliged il you would
kindly insert this letter in the columns of youl
valuable paper, as although 1 have been con
victed OF the crime am charged with the yer
dict has been arrived at not fairly, but through
the gross unfairness and perjury OF the prosecu
ton. Yours respectfully
F. c. ALLEN.
