NEz PFRCE RESERVATION.

The officers of the U. S. land office
state that the expected rush of business
in making filings just before the close
of the 80 days after the opening of the
reservation which is granted to settlers
in which to make their filings did not
occur. And as there has only been
about SEQ filings entered Of record
some of which are on 80 and 100 acre
tracts, by computation it shows at the
maximum only about 10000 acres have
so far been filed upon while over 500, 900
acres were opened to settlement. There
is probably GOOOO acres unSurveyed
which cannot be filed upon. There is
approximately $4,000 acres of this land
lying along the steep hillside Of the
Clearwater and in the canyons only fit
for grazing. But with this liberal esti-
mate there is about one hall Of the
arabic lands yet to be taken. There is
no doubt but the most favorable lOCdt-
ions have been taken but there is so
much good black loan land upon which
wheat, oats, barley, timothy and hardy
fruits grow without irrigation and pro-
duCe excellent Crops.-LeWiSton Trj-

bean taken separately, of making any
closer estimate. / believe that the
present house indicates very nearly how
the people stand for and against pro-
lection, perhaps nearer that on the sill
yer question, but the house surely
shows that at least heavy majority of
the people are opposed to free coinage
by this government alone; and further
more, believe that We will get free
coinage when a majority of the people
are in favor of it. But the friends of
silver must adopt different methods
from what some, self called friends of
silver have been using Of late, before
the majority can be won. We cannot
convince those who do not sec this
question as we do by claiming that all
honest men agree with us or that the
silver question is the only question
worthy of consideration; that they, and
ourselves as well, can get no beneficial
legislation until the silver question is
settled to suit us: Silver Republicans
must cease creating the impression
that if we cannot have free coinage of
silver, despite the opinion of others,
they will smash the Republican party
and watch its destruction with the sin
lister satisfaction with which Arnold
looked upon the burning of New Lon
don. Nor do l believe that free coinage
can be gained as single party issue. If
silver party is organized making silver
the only issue, and should such a party
become formidable (Which l do not be-
lieve any national party of one idea can
become) those of opposite views would
unite againgt it and silver would have
no more friends in congress than it has
now, and they would not have one tenth
part of the influence which silver con-
gressmen have now.

THIRTY-FIVE MEN LAID OFF

On Monday morning the shop force
at this point was reduced to the extent
Of 50 men who were indefinitely laid
off, owing to the dullneSS of business.
All Of the men thus laid off were eth
er helpers or laborers, there being no
skilled mechanics among them. They
were all assured of being given the
first opportunity of securing work as
soon as the business of the company
would warrant the employment of any
more men. A number of others were
put on half time; that is, some will
work half month and then give way
to others who will work the balance of
the month, thus giving double the num-
Der of men an opportunity to make a
bare living and support family,
The reduction in the force will make
asaving of about $4,000 per month
and the necessity for the reduction is
deeply regretted by the management.

was no other Observation-Disclosures

TO THF PRESS
Communication to Newspapers from the Coy
eFnOP.
JAMES N. SHOUP.

Gentlemen: You have doubtless OBJ
served that in naming the representa-
ton to the immigration convention
which will convene here on April End
at p. NJ, have designated the pub
fishers of all newspapers in the state as
members of that body, and hope each
and every one ofyOur Fraternity will find
it possible to attend and lend your val
liable assistance to its deliberations
The railroads have conceded a one
fare rate, which will, l believe, securee
large attendance, and such Il body of
men coming together without any an
tagonism one for the other cannot help
but result to the mutual advantage of
all. Our state possesses, l believe,
grander possibilities than any state in
the Union. All we need is harmonious
and united action directed toward the
bringing here of enterprising people to
assist in developing our resources; and
to bring them here, we have only to
truthfully represent to them our min
ing, agricultural and other resources,
together with our delightfuLclimate. l
have called this convention, believing it
possible for me to receive the hearty co
operation of all, and l can assure you
that the cooperation of no class of in
dividuals will be so important as that
of the press. Trusting that l may
meet each and every one of you here
upon the occasion named, am,
Sincerely yours,
w. j. MCCONNELL,
Governor.

THE MEASURE ZOE MAN.

The place to take the true measure Of
a man is not in the market place or the
amen-corner. not the forum or the field,
but at his own Preside. There he lays
aside his mask and you may learn
whether he's imp or angel, king or cur,
hero or humbug. l care not what the
world says of him-whether it crown
him with bays or pelt him with bad
eggs. | care never a copper what his
reputation or religion may be. If his
babes dread his home coming and his
better half swallows her heart every time
sheSh to ask him for five dollar bill,
he's fraud of the first water, even
though he prays night and morn till
he's black in the face and bowls halle
lujah till he shakes the eternal hills
But if his children rush to the front
gate to greet him, and loves own sun,
shine illumines the face of his wife
when she hears his football, you can
take it for granted that's true gold, his
homes heaven, and the Humbug
never gets that near the great white
throne of God. He may be a rank
atheist and a redhag anarchist, and
Mormon and a mugwump; he may buy
votes in blocks, of five and bet on the
election; he may deal 'em from the bot
tom and drink beer till he can't tell
silver dollar from a circular saw, and
still be an infinitely better man than
the cowardly little humbug who's all
suayity, but who makes his home hell
who vents upon the hapless heads of
wife and children the ill nature he
would like to inaict on his fellow men,
but he dares not. I can forgive much
in that fellow mortal who would rather
make men swear than women weep:
who would rather have the hate of the
whole world than the contempt of his
wife-whO would rather call anger to
the eyes of king than fear to the face
of Child.-EU.

ANIMALISM In MAN.

"When God wanted to make the best
thing He knew how to make He COM
posed it of one part spirit and one part
matter-one grain of it deity to one Of
dust, writes Rev. Charles II. Parkhurst.
d. d., in March Ladies' Home Journal.
There is nothing in the History of
that transaction to indicate that man
without body is man, anymore than
man without spirit is man. All such
reference to the body as that it is a
casket for the occupancy of the level
or cage for the temporary retention
of the imprisoned spirit, is sheer gra-
tuity, and is like the language that the
most favored classes sometimes use of
those less favored, who forget that
those who are at the top are so in con-
siderable degree because those who are
underneath furnish the foundation and
make the opportunity. Animalism is
an ingrained factor, and we shall be a
great deal more sensible and far better
off If we accept the situation with ser.
entity. The whole doctrine of the re-
surrection is way that scripture and
the church have taken to record the i'm
portance they attach to the body as an
lnalienable element of our being. The
body is so framed in with the other ele,
ments of our being that they will not
be at their best unless it is at its best.
which will not be the case except as a
of the respect we show it
and dignity we accord to it,"

MERIDIAN HEARD FROM.
Farmers Take Possession Of the New York Canal
Will Probably Ask the Court to Dust the
Invading Party.
w. J. MCCONNELL,
Governor.

The farmers of Meridian have deter
mined to lock horns with the Ada
County Farmers Irrigation Company,
which recently relocated the New York
canal. The Meridianities have a con.
tract with Mr., Bradbury, who bought
the New York canal at sheriffs sale. to
purchase the property for $4,000. They
have taken possession of the canal and
several teams are already at work there.
One Of the farmers said yesterday 100
teams would be at work on the canal
within 10 days. The Meridian folks
took possession Of the canal last Sat
urday. 1t was hoped ere this a COM
promise would be effected between
them aud the company that relocated
the canal, but it seems the Meridianties
are in no hurry to compromise. They
say they are willing to let the members
Of the Ada County Farmers Company
in as individuals, but as a company
they object to them having anything to
do with the enterprise. The result will
likely be fight in the courts between
the Meridian people and the company.
Mr.. Bradbury, the Meridlanities claim.
Will back them. The company claims
any rights Mr.. Bradbury may have had
had been forfeited and that the loca-
ton made by the company is valid and
win stand against the contract to buy

OF the final session. About the only
deals that went through were with the

Hartman from Milwaukee and gave in
exchange Bert Meyers. Crooks was sold
by the Louisville team to Columbus.
Other deals were rumorcd, but were
not substantllted.
Shortly after / o'clock the members
settled down for the Anal session, which
was devoid OF anything like the pyro-
technics which have characterized the
earlier sessions. The firgt thing done
was 10 pass an amendment to section

transacted, the League adjourned TO
