and General Shafter himself will have sealed
orders whose contents will be known solely to
General Miles and General Corbn until the ex-
pedltion is safely at sea. Admiral Sampsons
sole instructions will be to guard the expedi-
ton and to cooperate with General Shafter
under the latter's directions.
THE OBJECTIVE POINT.
It is the impression tonight that In view OF
the moderate military strength OF the effective
troops under General Shafter's command the
city OF Havana Is not the immediate objective
OF the expedition, but that Porto Rico Is the
more probable point of attack. On the other
hand. II is known that naval officers have to-
day strongly urged a land attack ON Santiago
de Cuba as a means Of most rapidly dlsposng
Of the Spanish squadron: and there has been
much hasty studying Of the large maps Of Santi-
ago Province. where the Insurgents are known,
through the reports of Lieutenant Rowan, TO be
I'm control Of most OF the country.
Urgent recommendations have been made to
the President In favor Of combined assault
by land and sea on Cervera's squadron, upon
the assumption that It's capture or destruction
will do more to force an abrupt termination OF
the war than any other imaginable clrcum-
stance. The contention IS also put forth that
such a land assault at this time. the troops dis
emharking between Santiago and Guantanamo,
would involve the certainty Of military success
and Insignificant loss Of life.

decision Judge Piper speaks of the

AS a matter of fact Mr.. Parker
could have sued out an Injunction
and prevented the commissioners
from awarding the contract had he
been SO inclined. But being a
peaceable citizen and heavy tax
payer he had no desire to pile up
costs of litigation against the peo-
pie by demanding an enforcement
OF the law. Moreover, his motives
would have been misconstrued into
an attempt to "rob" the county
treasury.
AS the matter stands Parker has
the supreme satisfaction of know
ing that his enemies have proved
the justice of his case probably as
well as he could have proved il
himself.

That County Printing.

On our second page will be
found the decision of Judge Piper
in the case of J. M. Wolbert VS..
the County Commissioners of Idaho
County. A history of the case is,
briefly, as follows: On April 16,
1897, the commissioners con ntracted
with Wolbert to do the county
printing for two years, he being
the lowest bidder. There is a law
on our statute books requiring all
work required by the county to be
done within the county when
proper facilities exist and prices
for the same are reasonable. AT.
Parker was the only bidder for the
county printing who was cognizant
of the existence of this law, and he
was also the only bidder who pos
sessed the facilities for performing
the work within the county. Mr..
Parker called the attention of the
commissioners to these facts; but
SO many scurrilous articles had
been published by Anarchist VOL
bert to the effect that the commits
sioners would give the printing
contract to Parker, regardless OF
the bids, that the commissioners.
mistaking these utterances of an
ignorant hobo for the force of pub
lie opinion, concluded to ignore the
plain provisions Of the law, and
awarded the printing contract for
two years to Wolbert.
Some OF the county officials rec
ognized the contract by sending
county printing to Wolbert; and
he, not having the facilities for
doing it in a workmanlike manner
had, perforce, to send to another
county, in violation of the law, to
have it done. BY the time the
printing was delivered the occa-
sion for its use had gone; and such
work as he did at home was of the
blacksmith order, or in the Ian
guage of the printing fraternity
was printed on an old cheese
press with lamp black"
About this time Mr.. Cunning
ham was exporting the county
records and recommended the use
of prescribed form of blanks for
the use of sundry county officials
in order to simplify and expedite
their reports to the county COM
missiones. AS the time to the Oc-
tober meeting of the commission
ers was but short, and desiring to
use the blanks for that quarter,
Mr.. Talkington gave Parker an
order for the printing thereof, and
for other work, the total value be-
ing $64.5O, for which Parker pre-
sented his bill and the same was

Crangeville Water Works.

AS briefly announced last week,
Mr.. Orchard and the financial back
ers of the proposed system of water
works visited Grangeville last week
and concluded the business which
makes the installation of a water
works system in this town an as
sured and absolute fact. The sys-
tenn is to be in operation this fall,
and provides for the maintenance
OF 20 hydrants for the use of the
village, fire protection and sewer
age purposes, for which the mu-
nicipality pays $1,000 per year.
The source Of supply is a large
spring on the G. S. Rossiter ranch
in the foothills four miles south of
town, which gives a flow of 100
gallons per minute by actual meas
urement. This water will for the
present be conducted down Three
Mile creek in an open ditch to the
Aram ranch where reservoir with
a storage capacity of 800, 900 gal
Ions will be built, with sufficient
fall below it to generate power for
an electric lighting system. From
the reservoir the water will be con-
Quoted to town in iron pipes, and
this part of the program is prom
ised to be in operation by the new
year. The piping from the source
to the reservoir will not be put in
place until next spring. A force of
men are now at work excavating
the ditch below the spring.
and a larger crew will be put on
as soon as the pipe arrives. Mr..
Orchard informed us that he would
have the pipe laid into town in 80
days and that we would have am
pie fire protection as soon as the
hydrants are put in.
