STATE school LANDS.
Mime Of THE school Lands la
Idaho County UiU be
.sOfd This Year.
BOISE CRY. idaho. July 81, 'q3.

BOISE CITY. Idaho. July 81, '93.
FRIEND PARKER Although it
was hoped earlier in the season
that large sales Of school land
could be made this year later de-
velopments have convinced the
State Board of Land Commission
ers that it is almost useless to offer
land under the unsatisfactory mo-
ney conditions now prevailing. 1t
is very doubtful il any more sales
will be ordered until the monetary
stringcncy ispast. Many would-be
purchasers could not raise money
with which to buy land, and what
little land might be sold would
bring no more than the minimum
price. The State, it is thought, can
better hold the land than dispose
of it at such figures as could now
be obtained for it.
The people Of Idaho comfy are
to be congratulated on the selection
of d. II. Telcher as Road Commits
siOner. His unassuming demeanor,
coupled with his excellent judg-
ment and thorough knowledge of
the business in hand insures the
adoption of his every recommended
ton. Every one feels that he is a
power on the Board, and all have
perfect confidence in him. Too
much credit cannot be given him
for his efforts in securing the order
for the letting of the contracts for
the Elk City branch. Had the in
terests of the county been in less
energetic hands that branch would
have been shelved uutil next year.
There is no doubt but Mr.. Telcher
will secure favorable consideration
of his recommendations respecting
the Salmon River branch when the
Commission meets again.
Yours truly, f. A. FEM.

-fVOTHER BL1CK EYE.
OWiMO to Financial Condition
the State U'dOOn Road Bonds
Cannot be Placed.
Boise Statesman.

Boise statesman.
The stringency Of the money
market in New York is so severely
felt that Stanton, Coffin 4 Co.. the
firm who have contracted for the
state wagon road bonds, have been
unable to fulfill their contract.
A demand was made several
weeks ago for the taking of $50 900
of the bonds. The firm promised
they would take $4,000 addition
al on the Sd of this month, but
State Treasurer Hill yesterday re-
ceived S telegram from them, in
forming him that they were absol-
utely unable to keep their promise,
and did not know when they would
be able to take any more of the
bonds.
Their failure to take the bonds
will delay the construction of the
proposed state wagon road for an
indefinite period. 1t will also
greatly embarrass the state admin
istration and doubtless prevent
them from maintaining state war
rants at par In fact, it is more
than probable parties holding state
warrants will not be able, in the
near future, to cash them even at
discount. The administration ex-
pected to use at least portion of
the money arising from the sale OF
these bonds for the purpose of keep
ing the warrants at par. The a.
mount taken from that fund would
be replaced as soon as the taxes
come in, as the construction of the
road could not be sufficiently far
along before the taxes are collected
this fall as to require the entire
$4,000, the balance of the bonds
not taken.
The administration will not al
low contractors to commence oper-
alton on the road until full ar
engagements are made to realize on
the bonds. AS there seems to be
no likelihood of the bonds being
taken for many months the con-
structiOn of the road will be greatly
delayed, probably year
Twenty thousand dollars of the
bonds have already been taken
the premium paid being $4,000
The greater portion of the $2O,OOC
has already been expended by the
wagon road commission.

Looking After the Alum and
ammonia Baking Powders.

ammonia B1AtaO x'O1Cders.
Portland Oregonian.l
A bill for an act in re1a ton to
the manufacture and sale of bak-
Ing powders, to prevent fraud and
preserve the public health has been
introduced in the Legislature at
st. Paul. The bill is intended to
prevent the adulteration of baking
powders with Alum or Ammonia,
imposing proper penalties to en-
force the law.
DIR. o. s. Binswanger, Professor
Chemistry etc, medical department
University of Oregon, made an ex-
animation some time ago of the
baking powders found in the Port
land stores; the result of which
appeared in the Oregonian. DIR.
Binswanger then expressed himself
as follows:
III have just finished an analysis
of the principal baking powdera
sold in this market, with the follow
ing results:
Hercules" This powder con-
tains ammonia.
Crystal" This powder contains
alum.
"Doublc Quick" This powder
contains alum.
"Silver Star" This powder con-
tains alum.
"White Lily" This powder con-
tains alum.
"Dr. Prices Cream Baking
Powder" This is a pure cream of
tartar powder and contains neither
alum or ammonia.
1t will be observed that DR..
Prices was found by DIR. Binswan-
ger to be pure cream of tartar
baking powder and the only brand
free from alum, ammonia or any
impurity.
Following is a list of the more
widely known brands that DR..
Drew, chemist for the Minnesota
State Dairy and Food Commission,
as well as other chemists of high
standing have examined and found
to contain Alum, some of which
contain both Alum and Ammonia.
Many of the Alum and Ammonia
powders are labeled and advertised
as absolutely pure" to mislead
the public. The condemned pow
der given in this list are sold pretty
generally through Oregon and
Washington.
Calumet" Forest City,
Grants Bon Bon" Hotel,
"Globe," puritan" "Snow Ball,
Government" palace, ""Loyal, ,
columbia" Home" Monarch, ,
"Unrivaled," "Chicago Yeast,
Echo" Protection" "Whit,
Rose" "Hatchet," Grown"
In addition to above list ther,
are many brands sold with a prize
1t is safe to reject all baking powd
ers sold with prize, as the test
show they are composed largely o
ALUM anu COSt Dul ~ lew CcutS
pound. Also refuse any bakin,
powder sold for twenty-five cents
pound, or less; it is sure to contain
Alum.
Surely, nothing but their cheap
ness could induce the public to ex
pertinent with these impure pow
ders at the risk of health. Asid
from the question of health o
wholesOmeness of these condemne,
powders, and viewed from tn
standpoint of economy alone,
pure cream of tartar baking pow
der, such as DIR. Binswanger an,
other high authorities report Dl
Prices to be, and from its create
known strength and unquestione'
purity, should prove more econ
omical to the user in every way.

New conditions confront Camas
Prairie. The country is filling up
with a horde of loose men without
visible means of support. Here in
Grangeville thefts from residences
are of almost nightly occurrence.
Clothes left out over night dis
appear. Barns and stables are
burglarized and articles of value
stolen The night of Pell Sher-
wins arrival from Salmon river his
barn was entered and the robes
stolen from his buggy. James Ed
wards and Harry Serren have had
the tugs distracted from the har-
ness in their barns. The EDITORS
saddle, hobbies, cantinas and
blankets mysterously disappeared
the night after an arrival from Elk
City. Several others have also
suffered from the depredations of
these midnight marauders. For
mely nobody ever dreamed of lock-
ing their houses when they went
off on picnic. Now the situa-
ton is changed. 1t is no longer
safe to turn your back without
leaving every thing under lock and
key, and not even then unless the
staples are tightly clenched. 1t
therefore behooves everybody, both
in town and country, to make
their premises burglar proof and to
keep a loaded scatter gun within
easy reach.
There is also a moral lesson to
be drawn from these evils by the
people of Grangeville. Our town
is getting too large to continue on
in the old way without some form
ofmunicipal government for the bet
ter protection of life and property.
An efficient town marshal would
soon rid the town of the horde of
worthless characters who now in
fest it, either by firing them bodily
from its limits or by putting them
to work on the business streets
with a ball and chain attachment.
