About twenty men living in the
town of Council and north in the
valley have formed company to
take out large ditch from the
Weser that will supply water for
the ranches, and also for the city.
1t will be ten or twelve miles in
length, and as there are several
rock elades to cut around the cost
of the ditch will be several thousand
dollars, requiring perseverance and
plenty of hard work to complete the
project. Already $4,000 have been
subscribed. The officers are: Presi-
dent, Wilbern Whitley; secretary,
Mr.. Gherkin treasurer, Sam'l Harp.
/ Willie Parks, formerly of Mann
Creek, but now living on the west

last week-a bear and her two cubs.
The first shot was through her
shoulders, then she ran into thick

coming onto her suddenly she arose
on her hind feet and stretched forth
her arms for loving embrace, but
not willing to trust her confidence he
sent bullet through her brain One

Babel, but he too had to come down

pal>use is Deadly Dull.

"The Palouse country is as
dead as I ever saw it," said a
prominent business man to the
Review on his
return from a trip through the
wheat country. "And what is
more, / am afraid that there is
nothing that will restore prosperi-
ty until next fall at the earliest.
Most Of the wheat has been mort
gagged to the banks at, perhaps,
35 cents. Not more than % per
cent of the crop has been sold out
right, and of what still remains /
believe fully rs per cent is in the
hands Of the banks and loan COM
panies. These people are holding
their grain until it rises, as think
it is almost sure to do, to some ex-
tent, at least high enough for
them to clear themselves, and then
they will quickly unload. This
Of course, will not help the farmers,
and the lack Of ready money will
most probably be severely felt by
the merchants for many months.
AS it is at present, they are all
complaining, but there seems to
be no remedy, rs the farmers have
depended solely upon their wheat,
and now that such a large part
OF that is out Of their hands at so
low a price, they will have to a.
wait the results Of the next har.
vest to get on their feet again.

Newsome, Idaho, Jan. 7, 1900.
The new year opened most aus
piciously in Newsome gold basin
and there is at hand every indi-
cation that 1900 will be red letter
epoch in the history ofthis pioneer
gold producing district of Idaho
county.
As evidencing the confidence OF
claim owners in the value of their
discoveries, it may be of interest
to state thal of the 1S9 quartz lode

putty mining recorder, Frank
Shissler, at Newsome House since

The advent of the last year in
the 10th century was celebrated
socially and also in a commercial
sense by the genuine jumping of
the Independence claim, a property
contiguous to and located upon a
part Of the famous Iron Crown
blanket lead. Readers Of the
FREE Press will remember the
squatter sovereignty assumed over
this much troubled property by
Hugh Arnold, miner-farmer of
Grangeville, last November. 1t
was evident that Mr.. Arnold did
not have very deep rooted con
victions regarding the legality OF
his proceeding as 1899 gave way to
1900, for at just minute by his
ticker past the hour of midnight,
the gentleman emerged from the
bushes bounding the claim ac-

Fee For Recording Claims.

There have been q number oil
inquiries made of the attorney
general as to the fee for recording
affidavits of annual work on min
ing claims when an affidavit covers
more than one claim. Some of the
recorders have been demanding
30 cents for each claim. The
attorney general in 'reponse to an
inquiry from the recorder of FL
more says:
Replying to your question as
to what the legal fee is for record
ing affidavits Of annual labor.
will say that the statute seems to
provide that the fee should be 30
cents and no more. There is nc

persist in keeping his sheep there
that it will be impossible to con-
tinue the cattle raising business
in the district.
F. +. Wyatt is building new
and more commodious house for
the occupancy of his family, and
when completed it will be the
most imposing structure on the
other side of the Salmon.
Seth Jones has completed his
new ranch house on High Range
and it is beauty in each and
every particular, he having spared
no expense to make it up to date.
William Jones, who has the
third largest band of cattle in the
county, is likewise building an ex-
tension on his already commodious
residence, under the direction OF
his partner Lou Brush.
The season so far has been par
ticularly fine for cattle and they
are all looking fat and sleek.
A more beautiful adapted coun.
try for cattle business could not
be found than that on and along
Snake river; the grass is growing
now in the month of January as il
would in the summer months and
the grazing is perfect. The atmos.
phere is that of June and one car

Several rich copper discoveries
have been made on William Jones
property by prospector by the
name of Sam. Hardy, anG
sevaral specimens were brought
to Grangeville by Mr.. Jones fol

are anticipated to be, force o
men will immediately be placed a.
