er Boise, horse stealing at Star. wagon

An informal meeting Of the citizens
was held last Friday evening in the in
terest OF town incorporation. The law
relating to the organization Of village

tion under the provisions Of the statutes
was to be desired Ii was thought best
however TO secure a little further infor-
nation on some points and two three
citizens who expected to be in Boise
during the week were requested to con-
fer with some attorney in regard to the
matter.

build aline from Emmett TO Silver City,
enlarge the Emmett mills and cut all
OF the lumber at this place for the Owy.

able and we will all hope and work for
speedy consumation of the same.
