We hear that F. J. Hogan, the
live Cottonwood real estate agent
is closing out his various business
interests at that point. We re-
greet to hear Of friend Hogan's
anticipated departure because he
is live man and was the first to
realize the possibilities OF the
Cottonwood side. The late boom
in that town is all Hogan's do
ings and nobody else can honest
ly claim the credit Of it.-Grange-

In the above article the Free
Press hae been misinformed.
Mr.. Hogan has neither sold his
property in Cottonwood nor has
he any intention Of closing out
his business interests at this
point. Our brother editor would
do well TO obtain more truthful
reporters for such news hs the

Cottonwood one of the grandest
cities in Idaho, and HE HAS COME

What the Prison Directors Want
From the LEGISLATURE.

lyon ask ME what the State Prison Dr.
rectors are doing at this years session Of the
Legislature" said Director Charles Sonn-
tag to CALL reporter last night as he
pulled refectively at a large weed in the
shape of cigar. well, we are not doing
very much"
This was said In tone as ii he regretted
that the Legislature was so hopelessly
Dem ocratlc.
There is one thing we are doing though"
he continued. 1--WE are going to try 10 get
good appropriation for the lone Reform
School, which is. you know, in an incomplete
state. a bill has been prepared and Is now
la the hands of Senator Voorhees,, who will
present it when the time comes. In the bill
we ask for an appropriation of S250,000.
This We believe will be sufficient to CON-
plete all the buildingt. and run the institu-
tion for two years. We will make hard
fight for tho appropriation, and we believe
that we will be successful
The lone school will be run on a plan
similar to that of the Whittier Reform
School. but it will differ from that institu-
tion In that no girls will be allowed in the
place. as in the Los Angeles school. 1t will
not take very much to pleie the build
ings now. Out OF the original S150,000 we
purchased the site. paid $4,000 for motive
power and erected a portion of the build
lngs. The administration building is a very
fine one. The water power, which we Sc
cured from Mr.. Isaacs. during great part
OF the year amounts TO 100 inches. This is
more than we can use. and we propose to
sell the remainder. There has Just been
undertaken, understand, an electric road
between lone and jackson. The ground
Tor the new road was broken yesterday
am informed. When the road Is completed
we will sell our surplus water power to run
the dynamos for tie road. You can see how
great source of revenue this will be. If
we secure the appropriation as expected We
Will rush things to head and open the
school as soon as possible"

Zone OF the most annoying things In Of

a CALL reporter. sis the amount of unjust
criticism ole is subjected to by people who
have absolutely u idea of the why or where

plain to everybody the ms and outs OF his
every moveD,ent. and. il it is not done. the
uniformed are FIRST 10 herald statements Of
an unfair nd unkind nature.
For Instance. in the conduct of my
Office l employed an average of sixty-fve
clerks. l was criticized because my ex-
pendltures were considered excessive. What
then would have been said had l employed
eghty-fye clerks, the allowance made by
the Legislature in acts passed first In 1866,
then in 1872 and finally in $780, II should
be remembered that the conduct OF the Office
OF clerk Of this city and county is regulated
by the Legislature and not by the dollar
limit
II was entitled TO employ twenty more

demand the full force.
Most of the hardships OF a County Clerk
might be done away with If the Office
we're made self sustaining. This could
easily be done il the fec bill went
into active operation. The bill calls for
tax on each estate going through
tile Office according to its appraised value.
In the present way of doing business an
estate valued at $4,000. 900 does not pay
more than one worth $500. AS a rule these
big estates involve the city and county In
heavy expense, as there is almost invariably
some contention between the heirs. Take
the Blythe estate, for instance. 1t has caused
the city and county to expend upward of
$4,000 and the fees paid into the treasury
amount To only $780,
Il desire to say one thing IN closing, that

THE COUNTY DIVISION.
A Small Legislative Ball Was Started
Rolling Yesterday.


The public meeting called to consider the
Alameda County division question yester-
day afternoon at the Oakland City Hall
was not as largely attended as might have
been expected under the circumstances.
The fact was that while the greater por-
ton OF the Droperty-owners and capitalists
OF Oakland are in favor Of the scheme, each
one left it to his neighbor to work out the
necessary steps to set legislative ball in
motion.
The chief persopages present at the meet
Ing were Nj. j. Keller. president of the
Board Of Trade; E. p. Flint, capitalist: g.
G. Nordhausen. b. McFadden, DR.. C. S.
Lane, G. A. Cakes OF The Haywards Jour
nal. A. A. Fink Of Berkeley and F. X.
Porter.
After some discussion on the WAYS and
means to proceed in a matter Of this de-
scription 1t was resolved that the calling OF
public meeting was toe vague a way 10
bring about results of practical nature.
and 1t was deemed wise to appoint special
committee to sound and consolidate indI-
vidual opinions until q preliminary inyesti-
eating committee could be replaced by a
formal official body TO organize and develop
the movement.
M. j, Keller. G. C. Nordhausen and Vol
ney ID. Moody agreed to meet and decide
upon regular course of procedure to test
and meet the public sentiment, and the
meeting then adjourned.
