reading it, that some explanation
should be made by Mr.. Sillers OF the

that its counsel's name has been alto

MISSISSIPPI WHEAT.

"The Herald has been reliably in
formed that a large number of farm
ers ofthis county nave determined to
plant wheat extensively III future.
Clubs have been formed and the seed
will be ordered in large lots and dl-
vidcd according to the amount each
planter desires. There are several
wheat mills In tho county, aud NO
trouble will be experienced III con-
verting the grain into the desirable
article. The soil of this section,
where it has received any attention
whatever, grows wheat as readily and
abundantly as 1t can be grown any
where. In the early days o this coun'
try wheat was produced here IN large
quantities. There oould scarcely be
losnd a farmer that did not produce
his own wheat. But Of late years cot
ton and corn have received the undi'
yided attention of all tillerS of the
soil. In fact, we do not know OF
single farmer in this section that pro
duces, the wheat used thereon. Ii
-four should continue anywhere near
the present price, there is.uo question
but that wheat can be grown here al
a large profit. There is a vast chasm
bctweev 4.cent cotton and 81 wheat
Not only is there a wide difference iu
the price OF the two articles, but the
cost of producing cotton is more than
double that of wheat We are glad
that our farmers have the energy and
enterprise to cope with this distressing
situation. We hope to see them with
an abundance, of not only wheat, but
everything used for household con
sumption, rendering themselves abso'
lutely independent of the outside
world. NORTH Mise, Herald

Thursday morning Judge Mont

charged them that he had made a
careful examination of the foundation
of the court house, aud found same In
dangerous AMI unsafe condition.
aud the bricks and mortar badly de.
| cayed aud falling down. Further
that the foundation was creauiug Oh

house was insufiicient to accommodate
the crowds usually In attendance. lie
further states positively that he would
not hold another term Of the court iu
this hnilding which had for quite a
number ci years repeatedly been con-
Gcmucd by he grand jurjos Of the
different courts and instructed THEM
to examine into the reasons why n
new and better house had not been
provided and that the court house
had been several times condemned by
grand jurles aud instead of condemn.
lug the house they ought to condemn
those whose duty 1t is to provide
safe aud sufficiently Commodious
house to transact the business of the
court.
III the above connection we wish TO
ada that we have long contended that
The Old dcath.trap, wooden hull and
disreputable barn, now the seat of
justice should be replaced by mod
ern structure suitable to aCCORmO-
date the people who are forced to at
tend TO the duties OF the court and
summoned to answer its calls. We
do not wish to attach any ceusure on
our Board of Supervisors, who seek
to give tho county as economical sn
administration of county expenses as
possible, and whom We believe have
no selfish motives fer their failure 10
act in the premises; but we believe
that they will now see the absolute
necessity TO comply with the requests
of the court and grand jury and adver-
tise for bids for new court house.
During the term Of the court we
have carefully canVassed this question
and find that the people alI over the
county, who have examined the coll
dition of the court house all unite in
saying that new one is absolutely
necessary
The people would never feel the
cost and VIC find some of The largest
tax payerq in the county anxious for
the building.
We hope our board viii take the
matter under confederation at once
aud answer the needs Of the people
and the county, aud build us house
which would reflect credit upon them,
selves and honor upon the county.

Scott Myers on the Klondike.

The Boise Statesman of the 26th
says: "John Condron has letter
written by w. s. (Scott) Myers,
from the Klondike. Mr.. Myers was
one of the first to leave this section
for Alaska after the news of the
Klondike discoveries reached the
outside world. He had sold some
property in Baker City and had
come to Boise and Quilted for a
prospecting trip through Idaho. The
morning he and his companion left
Boise the news was published They
read it in The Statesman as they
drove out. After going few miles
away they determined they would
go to Alaska, and, coming back,
sold their outfit and left at once for
the north.
This letter was written on Ooto-
Der 3. Among other things it says:
