Our friend evidently thinks that the
Bureau Of National Literature and Art
Chartered" is merely some upstart imitator
OF RICHARDSON and BARCUs's Commit
tee on Distribution"
We beg leave 10 say. for his Information
and for the benefit of the public generally,
that except as TO the letterhead style Of
the concern selecting your name. and
except as TO the substitution Of the word
Bureau for the word Committee in the text
Of the circular, it is Identical with circulars
previously issued by the Committee on
Distribution" Itself. The C. y. PORTER"
who now signs as Chief Clerk" OF the
Bureau Of National Art and Literature
Chartered " was signing this same cir
cular only last month as Clerk" Of the
Committee on Distribution"
We believe we are justified in assuming
that the anti-monopolist RICHARDSON and
the Protean BARcUs are still doing the
selecting.

Him.

CIessOn s. Kinney, the well known at
torney, met with a serious accident
Thursday afternoon while at work on
his farm at the mouth of Big Cotton
wood canyon. The family had been
there for a month and it was Mr.. Kin
ney's habit to come into town every
day and return to the farm at night,
but on Thursday, for the first time,
he put in the day at his country home,
and was experimenting the erection Of
a large hay fork, such as are used in
stacking hay Instead of using ropes,
as usual the men were raising the
long cross pole to its place by means
of ladders, and Mr.. Kinney was holding
the bottom of one ladder steady while
one of the men was on top.
Without warning the pole fell. The
men above shouted TO the attorney, and
in lodging back he got Immediately in
the way Of the falling pole. 1t struck
him first across the back and then on
the left leg there being a compound
fracture of the limb Mr.. Kinney's back
is also very badly sprained.
The attorney was brought in to town
and taken to his home. $40 East Fourth

MOUNTAIN STATES
SALE OF RIDENBAUGH CANAL
BIG IRRIGATION SYSTEM GOES
TO COL. DEWEY.
Intention to Enlarge it to Irrigate
100000 Acres-Col. Dewey's Views
on Political Situation.

Nampa, Ida, June 21.-Colonel W. II.
Dewey will leave for New York in
few DAYS to conclude a deal for the
purchase of the Ridenbaugh canal,
which he purposes individually to buy.
This canal is 6x22 feet, and including
mains and laterals, is more than 200
miles IN length. Should things go
smoothly, as now appears probable, the
ditch will be enlarged to sufficient size
TO irrigate 100000 acres instead o the
$1,000 now being served. With the sale
of the ditch goes 1900 acres of fer
tile land. With the absolute ownership
of the Boise, Nampa & Owyhee and
Idaho Northern railways, the Riden-
baugh canal and 1900 acres of land,
olOnel Dewey will be in position to
make this portion Of Idaho bloom
like the rose"
A few days since there was published
in some papers a statement that Col
Onel Dewey had sold the B. n. & o..
and !. N. to the Union Pacific, but
this, Mr.. Dewey says, is untrue, Is he
has never had conversation with any
one on such a proposition. Within &
few days track laying viii begin on the
extension of the Idaho Northern, which
is to be pushed to completion.
Colonel w. II. Dewey is a delegate
at large to the Democratic national
convention. In speaking of Idaho poll
tics and the situation generally, he
said today: There is no use trying to
predict yet how the election will go,
though ii is my belief the Democratic
candidate for president will be elected.
Idaho is a sure shot for democracy,
despite the contrary assertion by in
terested politicians. ! have seen the
newspaper articles respecting candi-
dacy on my part for the United States
senate. l will state / am looking for no
political favOrs whatever, though l do
say no man can refuse so great an
honor if offered it. / don't know if I
could suit if 1 were sent to Washing
ton, as I have only schemes for the
advancement of Idaho. / see one
proper way to advance all our inter
ests and that is for all sections of the
state to join in securing irrigation leg
islation for the state. We have vast
areas of the finest land, at present alb
solutely unprOductiVe because it is not
irrigated. Individuals and communities
may do much to bring about the
change, but it is a proposition the gov
eminent should in some measure assist,
and all should lend aid to this end

jackson. Neb., June ga band OF
armed men from South Dakota have
cut a channel through Rininger's Neck.
or, as it is known to the maps. .Bruigh-

is great excitement over the matter
here.
The bend is some twenty-five miles
around and not more than a quarter of
a mile across its neck. This neck is
lowland. covered with willows and
small timber AT one time probably
the channel of the river ran across It.
Residents of the bottoms along the Tiv-
er east of Elk Point have always con-
tended that if a channel could be cut
through the neck and the river straight
ened it would prevent the recurrence
of the spring floods which have so fire.
quently OverfIowed the sOuthwestern
portions of Union county,.
Another result of cutting through the
neck of the bend is to throw thousands
of acres of excellent farming land in
to South Dakota which have been a
part of Nebraska.

CAUSE HIS LOVE is SPURNED.
Mrs. McKellar's Cries For Help
Brought Aid From Another Wom-

The roomers at No. 474 South West
Temple street were thrown into a tur-
MOL of excitement about o'clock yes
terday morning by screams for help,
which issued from the rooms occupied
by Mrs. Hugh Mcclellan. A call was
sent to the police station to send an
officer to the place Immediately as a
woman was being murdered.
Officer Lincoln rushed to the place
and found a man in the front yard
struggling with two women who were
holding him by the arms. In his hand
he had a large jack-knife with which
Mrs. Mcclellan claimed he tried TO cut
her. The man was John Langon, who
but lately served a term in the peniten-
tiary for burglary.
1t is said that LaugOn was greatly
infatuated with Mrs. Mcclellan and
yesterday morning went to her rooms
and tried to persuade her to elOpe with
him. The woman refused to go and he
became angry. Drawing his knife nd
uttering an oath he rushed at he ,
claring that if she did not go vi n
he would cut her into pieces.
Mrs. Mcclellan screamed for h I'd
ran for the steps to go down sta AS
Mrs. Mcclellan and her pursuer r, ltO
the yard another female tenant seized
him arms and with the assistance of
Mrs. Mcclellan held him until the police
arrived.
LangOn strongly denies that he as
saulted the woman and explains the
presence of the knife by saying that he
had been using it to open bottle of
beer in the room.
The case will be tried before Judge
Timmony this afternoon.

to Irrigate Trees.

" elkC LIVE
The request of the State university
board of regents for permission to make
a connection with Parley's conduit in
order to get water for the trees on the
university grounds, came before the ir
rigatiOn committee of the city council
last night. Permission was given to
take water from the conduit near the
head of First South street. The commit
tee considered it doubtful whether or
not this would give enough water, but
it was considered the best that can be
done under the circumstances. The
matter will thus be reported to the
council recommending that the water
be taken ct the place named.

ages done to her property which is

BOTH WANT COUNTY SEAT.

For It
Especial Correspondence


Rexburg, Idaho, June 2O.-St. An
thOny has the county seat of this coun-
ty, and Rexburg wants it. When the
district court opened Monday in St
Anthony the contest between the two
towns came up. Judge Rich had before
him for consideration petition signed
by 2,340 names, asking for the removal
of the county seat to ReXburg. Only
1,200 names were required.
a counter petition was filed by St
Anthony. c. S. Varian of Salt Lake
City, of the firm Of Richards & Varian,
appearing for the contestants, and z.
Z. Chalmers of BIackfoOt Idaho, of the
firm of Dietrich, Chalmers & Stephens,
appeared for the petitioners.
Mr.. Chalmers moved to strike the
protest from the files on the ground
that it was incompetent, and the court
sustained this motion.
The question has not yet been finally
decided. The legislature has given the
district judges complete jurisdiction in
matters of this kind.
1t now looks as though the people
would get a chance to vote on the prop
OsitiOn.
Judge Rich is going to Salt Lake City
to have his eyes operated upon for CAT
aract, and on account of their bad con-
ditiOn is obliged to continue most of
