Five townships on the Nez Perez reser-
walton were formally opened for filing last
week. The rush at the land office was al
most equal to the first rush for homesteads
on the Nez Perez coded lands. The in

productiveness of the reservation lands,
has caused much land jumping this
spring. Contest case hearings are almost
continuous at the land office.

A letter from Camp Merritt, San Fran
cisco to the Boise Statesman contains the
following paragraph: "Our beautiful flag
arrived on the 18th and Mrs. A. H.

the cheers of all the boys And right here
we want to say that there has been no one
that has equaled Mrs. Boomers attention
and work for the regiment. She has been
deseryedly named the Mother of the Reg
iment." Today Major Higgins is calling
on the boys for a small donation with
which he intends to get remembrance
for Mrs. Boomer, and it is with joy that

On the lower hills near Wallace, there
is an occasional ripe huckleberry found.
and it will not be long until there will
be plenty of them. Higher up the mount
aims they are later and ripe ones can be
found at any time from now until hard
frosts come next fall. The crop promises
to be an abundant one, the bushes ev-
erywhere being loaded with green berries.
1t is only once in two or three years that
there is full crop, the frost usually kill
ing them except in favored localities.
In good seasons they are found almost
all over the mountains and they may be
gathered for so long time that the crop
is one possessing considerable value.
There is little likelihood of any weather
to injure them after they are as far along
as now.
