Inc cooperative Idea Among Farmar.
A striking evidence of the dominance
OF the associative idea among the set
tiers of irrigated lands is seen in the
plan OF colony which settled in SOUTH
ern Idaho as recently as 1894. These
colonists had observed that the min
lng-camps OF that region were Uttered
with tim cans. the labels of which bore
evidence of the prosperity of distant
industries. They also learned that
the condensed milk used in thai
locality came from New Jersey
the creamery butter from Minneso.
"a, the starch from Maine, and the
bacon principally from Chicago. AS
the raw materials of these products are
all easily grown in Idaho, the colonists
determined to provide the simple in
oustrlai plants required to manufac-
ture the raw material into marketable
form. They added to the price of their
land ten dollars per acre, and thereby
raised capital of $4,000, which was
somewhat increased by the sale of BUSH
ness property in the village. Thie
capital provided q creamery, cannerv.
iruit-evaporator, starch-factory, pork.
packing establishment and collision.
age plant. Taken in connection with
their diversified farms. these little in
dustries constituted, in an industrial
sense, symmetrical community.

A few weeks ago the editor was
taken with a very severe cold that
caused him to be in a most miser-
able condition. It was undoubt-
eddy a bad case of lagrippe and
recognizing it as dangerous he took
immediate steps to bring about a
speedy cure. From the advertise
ment Of Chamberlain's Cough REM
edy and the many good recommen-
dations included therein, we con-
cluded to make a first trial of the
medicine. To say that it was sat-
isfactory in its results is putting it
very mildly, indeed. 1t acted like
magic and the result was a speedy
and permanent cure. We have no
hesitancy in recommending this
excellent Cough Remedy to anyone

Grand jury Report,

In the District Court of the Sec.
ond Judicial District of the State
of Idaho, in and for the county
of Idaho, October term, 1897.
To the Hon. w. G. Piper, Judge
of the above entitled court.
We the grand jury duly en-
paneled in the above entitled
court, hereby submit the following
as our report: This jury was EN-.
paneled on the 25th day of Octo-
Der, 1897, and has since that time
been in continuous session. Dur
ing that time we have investigated
ten criminal charges, and Of the
number Of charges SO investigated
we have found four true bills.
During the time this grand jury
has been in session we visited the
poor farm, the property of this
county. We find said institution
under the care and management
of Mr.. Rice. There are at present
in said institution, seven inmates,
who informed us that they are as
we'll provided for as the circum.
stances of said institution will per-
init; also that they are we'll salts
fed with their present superin-
tendent and the treatment receiy.
ed by them at his hands. That
they are well provided for in food,
clothing, etc., and in general, we
report the institution to be in good
condition, cared for in a good bust
ness and farmer-like manner, save
and except that the we'll located
on said poor farm seems to be SO
situated that the seepage of the
building might collect and gather
there. We therefore recommend
that another well, differently To-
Gated, be dug. Further, the grand
jury recommend that there be
set aside and furnished at public
expense two or more rooms in the
southeast corner Of the house To-
Gated on the poor farm for the pur-
pose Of county hospital.
We further report that we visi-
ted the county Jail, together with
the court house, offices and out
buildings, and find all to be in

AS TO ASSESSMENT WORK.
Two Important Opinions by the
commissioner of the General
Land Office.

The land Office is in receipt o.
two opinions from the commits.
sioner of the general land Office re.
latlng to assessessment work on
mining claims and work necessary
to be done to secure patents.
The latest opinion is in reference
to assessment work on claims that
are contiguous and held in COM
mon and is as follows:
"While the annual assessment
work required for the maintenance
of possession under section 1924
United States revised statutes NAV
be placed on one of a number of
contiguous mining locations held
in common and constituting one
entire claim, yet the amount ex-
pended must equal 500 annually
for each of the locations SO held
and worked in common"
There has been considerable dis
pute over this proposition in con-
nection with the securing of pat
ents. The general land office has
held that $500 worth of work il
all that is necessary on a group of
claims to entitle the holders to a
patent. Some have been of the
opinion, that it was necessary to
do 5000 worth of work on each or
for the benefit of each claim in a
group. The opinion recently re-
ceived from the commissioner is as
follows:
"The conclusion is apparent that
An expenditure of $500 on one or
more of several contiguous mining
locations embraced in one applica-
lion for patent is sufficient if made |
or the convenience of working or
developing all of the claims in.
This must conclusiyely
appear however.
This places the matter where it
often cheaper to secure a patent
han to do one years assessment
