AN OPEN LETTER.

To THE PoPULIsTs of the STATE OF
IDAHO:
Although some details are not yet fully
known, the political situation confront
ing the Peoples party in this state at the
present time may with considerable GER
tainty be described as follows:
Fusion leaders parading as populists,
but proving themselves by their
actions to be democrats in disguise
have lately been busy making new deals
with the democratic party leaders, and as
result the state ticket nominated by the
Peoples party convention at Pocatello. in
July last. has now been virtually sold
out. The Bryan Towne presidential
electors have been withdrawn lis favor of
Bryan-Stevensoh electors nominated bv
the democratic convention, and comb.
nation state ticket has been made up I'M.
der the name Of democratic, consisting of
majority of democratic candidates, to.
gether with few populists, so called.
and with +. Dubois, silver republican. as

This fusion ticket the populists of Idaho
will now be asked to support and vote
Tor, IN spite of the fact that the PEOPLES
Party State Convention at Pocatello de.
cided against fusion and nominated a
feopie's party state ticket (although the
convention had evidently been called for
the very purpose of effecting fusion with
the democrats.)
WIZ the true and honest populists of
Idaho quietly submit to such treacherv,
and permit scheming politicians to sell

looking forward for several months,

Seine. America is represented in the re-

per Rowing club of Philadelphia and
those who have watched the practice
work of the Americans since their ar
rival at Asnieres are confident that they

not be walk away for any one, however,
as the contestants include, besides the
Americans many crack oarsmen from
Holland, Switzerland, Italy, Germany,
Belgium, Denmark and Spain. The
course over which the races are being
rowed is an ideal one, extending as it
does, i'll straight line down the river for
a distance of about one mile and lao
yards. The transportation facilities to
the scene of the races were put to test
today by the enormous crowds which
went from Paris and it is expected that
the number of spectators will be even
larger tomorrow when the finals will be
rowed.

Land Office Notes.

The case of Charles B. Unzicker VS..
Joseph +. Craig, which came up in the
local land Office for hearing July IS, 1899,
over 100 acres of land near Forest, has
been decided by the commissioner of the
general land Office at Washington, ID. c. =,
in favor of Unzicker, which confirms the
decision of the local land Office. The
case is one where contestant alleged that
the contestee did not reside on the land
as required by law. That some time du.
ring the month o. June, 1896, the entry
man erected small house on the said
land, and II was late in the spring of 'o7
before he had stove in the house; that
he only spent one night on the place,
cooking his meal out of doors, after which
he left for the state of Washington to
teach school, and the defendant never
raised crop on the land. From the evil
dence offered the department find that
1.-THE defendant merely attempted to make
a colorado compliance with the law
rather than establish his home on the
land in good faith, and awards the land
to contestant.
In the case of Angus A. McPhee VS.
Grace Woodwork, the commissioner of
the General Land Office of the depart
ment of the interior has decided the
case in favor Of Miss Woodwork. The
case is one in which Miss Woodwork
made application to file on timber and
stone location and advertised the same
according to law, but as witnesses could
not be brought to the local land Office at
the date set for filing, new application
was made and later date set for filing.
In the meantime McPhee made applica-
ton to file homestead on the land in
question contendiug that his application
for homestead was no bar to him, as she
failed to make proof under her first ad.
vertisement. The department holds that
inasnuch as McPhee made second ap-
plication, and the further fact that no ad.
verse claims were presented during the
first advertisement, that the land involy.
ed be awarded to Miss Woodwork. The
land IN question is located in the White
Pine country.
