BOISE MEN IN A SORRY PLIGHT
Chinese Certificate Fraud May Become
Very Serious.

Boise, April 2-Another chapter in the
great Chinese certificate fraud develops
in the receipt by Special Agent Frank W.
Bean from Tacoma of the papers upon
which seven alleged Chinese merchan l.
from Boise attempted to land at Port
Townsend. The disclosures made by these
papers more than bear out their previous
estimate of the boldness and dimensions
of the fraud. Just what proportion of the
names signed to these certificates are
forgeries 1t is impossible to say. A num-
Der are thought to be genuine. For man
ifest reasons the special agents have not
made public the names that have thus
been used. It is known, however that
they comprise a number Of the best
known men in Boise. The special agents
have learned that of the seven celestials
representing themselves as Boise nlet-
chants and seeking to gain an entrance
into the country on these papers, only one
has been here, and he was a gardener
and cook but never a merchant Some of !
those who signed the certificates for this |
gardener have admitted to the officers !
their knowledge of his occupation.
1t will readily be seen that very awl1- |
ward problem is presented by the deEel- |
opments that have been made In the |
various stages of this Investigation. From
whatever reasons persons here may have I
signed the fraudulent certificates, they |
have laid themselves liable to prosecu-
ton. What the outcome will be is yet |
only matter of surmise, but ii is under |
stood that Mr.. Bean has laid the whole |
matter before the Washington authori- |
ties and Is awaiting instructions as TO |
the next step to be taken. In the mean /
time those involved in the irregularities |
are naturally in somewhat anxious state |
of mind. A singular feature of the mat /
ter is that in some cases a third certificate /
has been provided, the applicant telling |
the signers that they should have such |
document for their own protection in |
the event of their action ever being called |
in question One such triplicate certif- |
icate has been procured by Mr.. Bean |
from one Of our business men

Nh. Reed, of Maine, now has a status
in his party nearly like that of Webster
when he voted for the compromise
measures with slavery in 1850. Mr..
Reed, it is true, was coerced by his en-
vironment. His powerful political
friends in the east are for gold as the
only money-the only money with
which to pay debts. Mr.. Reed believed
in the gold standard, but expressed
some opposition to the making of gold
the exclusive legal tender. He also
favored ii bond payable in coin, thus
reserving to the government the choice
of paying either in gold or silver. But
he surrendered to the gold policy of
Cleveland on a test vote i'll support of
a bloody contract with the Rothchilds.

Why doesn't the legislature abolish
the office of state oil inspectors: 1t
costs the peopleabout $4,000 perannum,
from which they get no benefit. says
the Pierre Journal. Indeed, it works
to their injury. The practical effect of
the oil inspection law is to place the
complete monopoly of the oil traffic of
the state in the hands of the Standard
Oil trust. The man who buys his oil
of the Standard has no trouble about
delays. His oil comes inspected. The
merchant who buys a few barrels from
an outside concern has to wait for the
inspector before he can sell a gallon.
Then he has to pay fees and mileage of
that official. The consequence is that
the merchant is compelled to deal with
the Standard. If the quality of the oil
vas improved by the inspection the
public would not care so much. but as
a matter of fact the more the inspect
or inspects the more the oil seems to
deteriorate. Ostensibly the inspection
is for the benefit of the people. but
the Standard oil,monopolizes the traffic
and the people, as usual, pay the
freight.

There is great prospect of Fall River
county receiving a large influx of
col0nists this summer. The establish
ment OF the factories for agricultural
products at Chadron is bound to bring
about a revolution in agricultural in
terests and the STAR believes it will
bring in a large immigration of good
German cOlonists or farmers who have
been starved out in Nebraska OF some
Of the other western states. It will
also awaken an interest in the subject
of irrigation. The draws and ravines
will be damned up to catch the surface
drainage for irrigating and there is
reason to believe that the excellent
farming land in the county will be
made u source of immense revenue to
those who settle upon them. The Hills
will always be II splendid market for
their products and the day is not far
distant when the farming interests of
this county will be one of her greatest
sources of revenue. 1t stands our
people in hand to try to secure colon
lists of the best character and to give
them every encouragement in their at
tempts to cultivate the soil success
fully.

Farmers who contemplate irrigating
their land, or a portion of it, should
now prosecute the work with vigor.
It looks now as though the spinal
column of the winter had been frac-
tured and the balmy breezes of a Black
Hills spring are beginning to circulate
through the whiskers of the Fall River
county granger. The STAR wants to
see a good sized slice of our fertile
soil placed under irrigation the coming
season and this county become self
supporting at the earliest possible
moment in the matter of grain and
vegetables. and all other kinds of farm
produce. The new Touring mill lust
completed in this city will furnish a
local market for several thousand
bushels of wheat. The mill is equipped
with the latest improved machinery,
and, with Mr.. Peterson in charge, will
turn out a first class article of flour.
There are several thousand acres of
good land i'll this county that can
easily be placed under irrigation at
small expense and the local business
mems organization could do no better
than to turn their attention, or Il
portion of it. to this matter. Irrigation
will contribute..more than anything else
to the prosperity of Hot Springs and
no effort should be spared toencourage
it in every possible way.

ly over and the matter of resubmission
is about the only legislation of import
ance that has passed thus far. The
~defalcation of Taylor completely
knocked the wind out of ourpoliticians
and they could not do anything in the
way of appropriations for irrigation or
other internal improvements as they
expected.
