County Surveyor Rhoades has a
complete survey of the west line of
this county on file in his office,
made by him, which explodes the
theory that Gilmore county is hem
med in by the Snake River. The
west boundary, as defined by the leg
islative act creating this county,
begins at point in the center Of
Snake River opposite the mouth of
the Bruneau, and runs thence north
to the mouth of Moore's creek. The
official survey by Captain Rhoades
shows that this line crosses the
Snake River about three miles north
of the place of beginning, and cuts
off two tracts of land across the
river from Owyhee county, one Of
them being about two miles long
and half mile wide, and contains
valuable placer ground. According
to the U. S. Government surveys,
quite portion Of valuable old min
ing properties claimed by Boise
county, including the town of Ban
ner, is shown to be portion of Ell
more Our next Legislature will
do well to cause surveys of all
county lines to be made, and when
the county lines are properly estab-
lished all legal complications which
can now arise on question of
venue and jurisdiction will be set
aside.
In 1882 in Colorado, hospital
fund was created among the en-
ployes, mail-clerks and express
messengers of the South Park Rail-
} road, for the purpose of maintain
ing railroad mems hospital at
Denver, every employee paying so
cents month. Later on the Union
; Pacific Company employees adopted
the same plan and hospitals were
maintained at Omaha, Kansas City,
i Ogden, Spokane and Portland. All
{ these were discontinued shortly
i. after the U. P. system went into
the hands of receivers. From the
sales of the hospital property in
Denver there was realized $10,SSS-
5 81 to be divided among the South
Park men, who contributed in 1872,
'83 and 'S4. The Ogden property
netted $2,767.39 to be divided be-
. tween those who were in the Short
Line company's employ from 1890
to 1892, and there was an accumu-
= lation of $50, 636.04 to be distributed
g among all who worked on the en-
+ tire system from 1898 to 1898. On
May 1st, the distribution began
. each employee to receive pro rata
b of what he paid in, and quite a
), number in GIenn's Ferry, and a
: few of our towns people have been
remembered and were surprised by
o receiving letters with small checks
/ from three to twenty dollars.
