Decided Against the State.

hearing was had in the case of
August Wiklund VS.. the state of Idaho
this week in the local land Office and a
decision was rendered yesterday in favor
of Wiklund.
The land is a valuable SO acres in
township SO range west. This is one
of the cases where the state land Sc
lectors filed upon land already in
possession of the squatter. Wiklund
proved that he had been on the land
over year before the state locators came
to make selections. He had had the
land cleared, house built and an
orchard planted. The state land selec-
tors stopped over night with him and
knew positively of his claim The case
will go up to the general land Office and
it will in all probability be affirmed as it
will be hard to justify the states claim
to any show of title.

No Sale of the Bonds.

Word was received by Treasurer Has
tings this week that the bonds recently
sold had been turned down by the at
torneys of the company buying them.
Duke NJ. Farson oe Chicago was the con-
tractor who bid in the issue of $5o,ooo
The reasons are set out i'll the following
quotation from the letter sent Mr.. Has
tings. The writer says:
81 decline to approve the $50, 900 fund
ing bonds of Nez Perez county, Idaho,
because it appears from the letter of the
treasurer that the bonds were issued to
fund current expense warrants issued
without being authorized by vote of the
people, as required by section 3 of article
s of the Idaho constitution. The ma
terial provisions of this section are that
the only debt that can be contracted in
any year, without vote, is a warran,
issued for proper ordinary expenses and
within the limit of the income and
revenue of that year; so these warrants
were either payable from that income
and revenue, and in no other way, or il
issued in excess of the income and
revenue, are void under the section re
ferred to. This section of the constitu
ton has been before the supreme court
OF Idaho, and the conclusion here stated
announced by that court in the case o
Bannock county VS.. c. Bunting & Co.

Great is the Demand for Labor

The western railroads are having great
difficulty in securing men to operate their
trains, and were there enough cars to
carry off the business that has accumu-
lated along the lines they could not
accept more business unless they could
secure more men. Engineers, firemen
and train crews are wanted.
Labor on the construction of new roads
and the repair of old ones is about as
hard to find as is skilled labor. West
ern roads have standing orders with labor
employment agencies in the large cities
for men, but there are no men to be found
For the mines i'll Washington and
Montana agents have been securing the
middle states and have even gone into
the pineries and offered large wages for
men. In the lumber regions, also, only
small crews have been found, and many
of the mills have been obliged to partially
shut down for want of men to handle
their logs. The Twin cities, which for
years have been a supply depot for West
ern labor, can not begin to supply small
portion of the demand. The recent re-
turn of about 1000 Italians from the con-
struction forces of the northwestern lines
men who can not stand the cold climate,
and who go south to work during the
winter, has left positions that as yet have
not been supplied.

renewing old acquaintances.
1t was Mr.. Cantillon S first trim
to the business portion of the city.
He was highly pleased with the
town, and said that he had seen few,
II any. prettier cities Mr.. Cantil-
Ion is an exceptionally pleasant
gentleman. and is frank in his con
versatiOn
While in THE GAZETTE Office he
stated that he had given orders for
the running of the train from Sleepy
Eye to Redwood Falls on time, the
order having been promulgated
about a week ago: since which time
the train has been running regular
larly. Mr.. Cantillion stated that
the cause of the delay heretofore
was the wait for the Omaha freight
at kaSOta, which has been several
hours late for some time past, but
which is now running more regular
ly. In case the latter is not on time
the train is to run into Redwood
I Falls on time. and allow the st. Paul
and Minneapolis freight for this
city that would come up on the Oma-
ha to lay over at Sleepy Eye until
the next train
The three officials had nothing to
say regarding extensions for next
year, but it is now pretty generally
conceded that the Northwestern
stub from this place will be extend
ed west next year either to connect
with the Minnesota & Iowa at Okla
wa or Vesta, or to go northwest

had $277 eaten by mice two or three
weeks ago, and just now she is
wondering whether the United
States government will be so good
as to issue new notes for the notes
destroyed by the rodents.
The money was the saving of
years. Whenever Mrs. Simmons
GOT a little ahead she would have it
placed in bank note and would
then lay it away in trunk. She
kept on doing this until she had
secured the above sum. This amount
she had not looked at for Ions

The title to the land in question
is in dispute owing to some action
of J. \. Beard. 1t appears thai
Beard and A. B. Pike became joint
purchasers of the tract. and thai
! Beard afterwards sold the whole
tract without securing quit claim
or warranty from Pike. The prop

backs. were lying outside OF the
roll. She hurriedly opened the lat
ter and was Mortified to find that
the mice had chawed the bills into
small pieces.
Mrs. Simmons was heartbroken,
but after a time she gathered to-
oether the best of one bill and
brought it up town for the purpose
of ascertaining whether she could
pass it for the original face value.
She went into one of the local stores
and showed the shreds to a clerk,
to whom she said that she wanted
to buy goods with it, if the shreds
were acceptable. The clerk went
down to the Redwood County Bank
and after Cashier Baldwin inspected
the pieces the latter concluded to
take them for the face value of the
original bill. Mrs. Simmons was
so informed and was nightly well
pleased.
Last Wednesday she brought all
of the remaining shreds to Mr..
Baldwin, who sent them just as
thew were found to the bank S New
York correspondent with the re-
quest that the latter get the sub
treasury in New York to issue new
notes Tor the old ones. Mr.. Bald
win dwelt very heavily on the fact
that Mrs. Simmons needed the
money badly and it is believed that
the New York bank will be able to
induce the government to give new
notes for the old ones.
The bills were of different kinds
on the United States treasury
and on various National banks, and
the latter fact is what will make it
quite hard to secure a redemption
of the whole.
