The DeLamar nugget. [volume] (DeLamar, Idaho) 1891-1900, 1897-11-05

Much of the vacant land in other
states and terpitories is doubtless, from
different causes, as unfit for settlement
as that of Alaska. The best sections
of land, most easy of access, have been
largely pre-empted. But there are yet
remaining large tracts of fertile, we'll
watered land in districts somewhat
more remote from the railroads, which
will be settled up gradually as the con
gestion of population begins to be felt
in the older states. 1t is still true that
"Uncle Sam is rich enough to give US
all farm" if we choose to take one.

Many years will have passed before
there will be any danger of overcrowd
ing in the United States if people take
advantage of their opportunities to Sc
cure homes from the government do
main still available. The land office re-
port shows that there is public land
open to entry in 26 states and terri
tories, the amount ranging from $4,000
acres in Michigan to 100000 in Mon
tana. This leaves out of considera tion
the 37O,OO0,OO0 acres of Alaska which
will probably never be of value either
for agriculture or stock raising.

1t is great wonder that there are
not more evening and less morning
dailies published in the Pacific coast
cities. The difference i'll time, makes
it possible for the Western evening
dailies to publish to-day's most import
ant news to-day. This fact has been
forcibly exemplified here recently by
the fact that the news of the death of
Henry George, and the latest and full
est reports of Tuesdays elections were
read in DeLamar one mail-which
means one day-earlier, in the Spokane
Evening Chronicle than in any other
paper. Yet Spokane is several hun
dred miles away. The Chronicle is one
of the most enterprising dailies in the
West and has recently greatly added to
its news gathering facilities.

at the probate judges office and want
ed to be made one. They were John

were 10 and l6. Judge Musser was at

Kiefer Will See About Il.

County Clerk Kieffer was asked to-
day concerning the Populist nomina-
ton papers Of Newbern which the Re.
publicans claim we're filed too late
and dated back from Oct. 9 to Oct. 2.
He says the law specifies that a
protest shall be filed within three
days Of the filing of the nomination
papers, hence it was brought in toe
late and will not be considered. He
claims that he swore Mr.. Markley,
secretary of the caucus at a sale out
south Oct. 2 and Mr.. Mcclure when
he came back to town.
1t remains to be seen what dispo-
siton will be made of the ticket on
the ballot if the Newborn Republicans
bring on the proof they claim to have
in the matter.

BOUGHT LAND AND CATTLE.
]. W. Gillett Purchases $lS,50O
Worth Of Good Property.

The Woodbine cattle kings seem to
be making more money than anybody
just now. The Junction City Union
reports a large purchase just made by
them. 1t says: The largest deal
closed in the county for many years
was drawn to a focus Wednesday
afternoon. W. W. Cook sold two sec
lions Of land Q,2S0 acres), 1863 head
of cattle and a lot Of feed to Joe Gil
lett of Woodbine, presumably the
three Gillett brothers. The land is
situated northwest of Skiddy. The
1880 acres sold for Sil,020. A cash
payment was made, and the balance
is to 60 in short payments. Of the
cattle, 1870 are two and three-year-old
steers and the remainder mixed stuff.
There is little telling how much feed
is on the place, There is so much
that Mr.. Cook probably does not
know. The cattle and feed 90 for
$1,000 cash. The Gilletts bought a
l60-acre farm joining this tract and
owned by Captain John X. Wright.
Seven hundred head of cattle are to
be brought at once to this ranch.
The Gilletts have been making
money very fast handling cattle in
large quantities during the last year.
They have handled something like
10000 head One of the boys left on
Wednesday for New Mexico to get u.s.
900 head more. They expect to clear
up 1897 with something like 100000

Nick's Bloodhounds All Right.

1t is reported that Nick Robson's
bloodhounds were given another trial
the other day when Nick was down at
junction City and proved themselves
all right. The Oldest dog was the
one tested. He was given a smell Of
musk first and at the end Of two hours
returned to bis master with a musk
rat. The second trial was by far the
most difficult. A man had lost his
fine poodle dog. The bloodhound
was engaged. He was given a sniff
Of the poodle's collar. He started off
and wound up at meat market.
Giving loud and prolonged bowls he
seized bologna sausage and tore
away to his master. Nobody should
laugh at those bloodhounds any more.

WHEN WAS IT FILED?
Peculiar State Of Pop Affairs in New
bern Township.

L. D. Buck Friday filed remon-
STRANGE against putting the Populist
ticket of Newbern township on the
official ballot. The nomination papers
are signed by G. M. Barley, chair
man, and S. j. Mcclure, secretary,
who state that caucus was held
Sept. 80 and that they appeared be-
fore the county clerk Oct. 2 to take
affidavit to the paper. County Clerk
Kieffer has put Oct. 2 as the filing
time and took their Acknowledgement.
Mr.. Buck says in his remonstrance
that the caucus was not held until
Oct. 5 after school at Heindel school,
house and the paper was not filed un-
til Oct. 9. But as Oct 2 was the last
date for filing nomination papers, he
claims that the date was set back by
County Clerk Kieffer to favor the Pop
ulists Of that township. He says
there is abundant proof Of his claim
and that even Populists Of the town
ship say the caucus was on the Sth
1t is a grave accusation and if sus-
tanned will make great deal Of
trouble for Mr.. Kieffer. He was out
in the country today electioneering
and could not be interviewed.

nor did the country show itself as the
hoped for land of plenty. Indeed re-
ports from that country are that there
is great business depression owing
to the depreciation Of silver and many
citizens of the United States who went
there with the intention of residing
have left. Mr.. Henry and his two
sons have all returned. One of the
young men is in Denver and the fam

Rock Island depot last Friday when
Bishop Jesse Engle and wife left for
missionary tour to South Africa, in
tending to work among the dwelle.s
in Dom Paul Kruger's dominions.
The aged couple led the River Breth-
rem when they came here from Penn
sylvania in 1879 and there is feeling
of great affection for them. The de-
pot was packed with weeping mem.
bers of the Quakerlike sect and SER
vices, including prayers and singing,
were held. Then the entire company
passed one by one in front of the
bishop and his wife and said goodbye.
1t was particularly affecting when the
members of the Engle family took
leave of the head of the family, prob.
ably forever. The company stood on
the platform and sang, "God Be with
You Till We Meet Again" Mr.. and
Mrs. Engle are over sixty years old
