NAIL CONTRACTS.
On Various Washington County Routes
to be Let on Dec. Sd.

Mr.. Robert H. Barclay, special
agent ofthe postal department, called
on the Signal last Saturday and gave
considerable information in re-
gard to contracts, soon to be let, for
carrying mails over various routes in
this vicinity.
The postofflce department is now
advertising and letting all mail
routes in the state of Idaho for the
next contract term of four years. A
very important feature of the adver-
tisement is that it contemplates
awarding all contracts to local bid
ders. This plan will result In great
benefit to the service, to the persons
actually operating the service, to
merchants and others who will have
dealings with those persons, and to
the public in general. Under these
conditions the bidding on all routes
should be active and general, and
the competition strong, for the con-
tracts Will surely be awarded to local
parties. Estimates of cost should
be conservative and reasonable, max
ing due allowance for possible earn
ings outside Of mail service pay.
The residents of every town and To-
cality should interest themselves to
see that bids are sent in by capable
and responsible parties who are
known to be in position to render
good and satisfactory service. With
the opportunity to contract direct
with the government, and no danger
of loss or delay thro middlemen, o
mail service contract for four years,
properly operated, should be a good
business proposition. Bids mus'
reach the department before a p. m.
December 3rd, and to avoid risk Of
delay should be forwarded at once.
Further information regarding routes
advertised, instructions to bidders
etc., may be obtained at any post
office, copy of the general adver
tlsement, instructions, blanks, etc.
having been placed in the hands o
each postmaster.
Mr.. Barclay gives us the following
list of routes advertised in Washing

TaylOr's Deal.

Last week the SIGNAL mentioned
the prospective good fortune that WAS
to come to Salubria man who had
pinned his faith to Thunder Noun
tain, namely H. K. Taylor Mr..
Taylor and his partner, M. f. Eby
have bonded to Erv johnson their
seven claims including the proposed
townsite of Roosevelt for the sum of
$3.50, 900 and have received SUBJ
stantial first payment. The pre-
liminary steps for the organization
of development company have been
effected, and Pittsburg capitalists are
back of Mr.. johnson in the deal.
All the papers in the transaction are
on deposit in the Bank of Commerce
in Boise and the company to be
organized is assured of sufficient
capital to fully develop the mining
properties, besides inaugurating the
work of the construction Of the great
metropolis of the Thunder Mountain
region.
Mr.. johnson went east to interest
men of capital in the proposition tc
take over the Taylor Eby group oi
claims in the Thunder Mountain dis
trict, and it was known before his ar
rival that he had been successful, al
upon his wired instructions to hn
attorney, George NJ. Parsons, mel
had been sent into the district, will
supplies and tools. The details o
the deal, however, were not mad
public, and Mr.. johnson is as ye
very guarded in his statements fo
publication.

Better Service Needed.

The people Of Brannon are suffer-
ing from very deplorable mail SER
vice, which could easily be remedled.
The mail now comes to them by way
OF Salubria and is most unsatisfac-
tory. The Brannon package of
Signals leaves Weiser on Fri
day mornings snd gets to Brannon
on Monday following. The distance
to Brannon is about SO miles via
Middle Valley station and the stage
should leave Middle Valley after the
P. & In. train arrives, making Bran
non in about four hours. BrannOn
is important enough to have three
times a week service.

OLD TIMER IN BOISE.
Mrs. william Allison of Cambridge is
Visiting There.

Statesman.
Mrs. William Allison of Weiser Is
in the city for few days, accompan-
led by her youngest son, Joseph,
visiting with Mrs Cuddy and family
She is an old resident of Bpise, hav-
ing first come here in 1857 She
taught school here for many years in
the early days, when there were but
few houses here and much of the
business portion of the present city
was covered with sage brush. She
says that she had opportunities in
the early days to take up claims
along Idaho street.
Her last visit to Boise was made
eight years ago, when Mr.. Allison
was a member of the Legislature.
The town has grown 80 much in the
past eight years that she can hardly
believe it is the same town.
Her family have been continuous
subscribers of The Statesman since
it was first established in 1864
They still have in their house copy

The Fallen Bridge.

The Mt Idaho Mail gives the fol-
lowing information of the collapse
of the bridge over Salmon river on
the Florence road:
There were two spans OF this bridge,
one go feet in length reaching from this
bank to an iron pier, and 400-foot span
reaching from the pier to the further
bank The shorter span fell. The re-
mainder Of the bridge is standing, but
it is said that the unequal weight upon
the prier is likely TO overturn it and let
the whole structure into the river. This
bridge has been known to be unsafe for
long time, In fact 1t is said 1t Is con-
struoted properly. AS much as year
ago the matter was brought to the A.
tention of the commissioners but 1t was
only on the July meeting of the bosrd
that an engineer was employed to examine
the bridge to determine what repairs were
necessary. The contract WAS to have
been let on the 10th inst for repairing the
| the bridge.

New York, Nov. 15.-The cores
pondent of the London Times and
the New York Times, writing from
Middleburg, Cape Colony, says that
within the last two days the Beers
have approached still nearer to Cape
town. Sixty men of the commando
last seen at Hopeheld have penetrat-
ed south of Darling (4S miles north
of Capetown) but the raid must not
be taken too seriously as the British
columns are already in a position to
cope with it. The Beers have made
the dash either to obtain fresh horses
or to revenge themselves on the
Dutch farmers who have not sup
ported them as they were expected
to do. In the northeast district
Commandant Fouch and six men
leaving the main body, made raid
last Saturday to Middleburg siding.
They blew up few yards Of track
and shot in cold blood Cape police

CAPTURED A BRITISH LAAGER.
Remounts for Cavalry Secured by
Beers Near Cape Town.

New York, Nov. 12.-Dr. Leyd's
friends, says the Berlin correspond
ent of the London Times and the
New York Times, asserts that a
British laager containing remounts
for cavalry now on the way from
England was captured by the Beers
near Capetown.
The circumstance that this success
OF the burghers is not known in
London, according to these inform
ants, is due to the fact that is moi
the custom of the British to mentor
the loss of war material unattended
by the loss of life.

SOLD CLAIMS.
Then Made a Big Saving in Travelling
Fare to Boise.

Statesman.
f. Richardson of White Bird, Idaho
county, is one of Thursdays arrivals
at the Overland. Mr.. Richardson
made the trip from Grangeville by
stage over the new state wagon road
known as the Little Salmon road. 1t
requires three days staging to make
the trip from Grangeville to Council,
distance of 119 miles and the fare
is $11.3O. There are pleasant eat
ing stations all along the route and
the country is settling up very rapid
ly. The road, Mr.. Richardson pro-
nounces as upon the whole very
good one and the travel over it is
constantly increasing.
Mr.. Richardson is an old pros
pector. For the past three years
he has prospected in the Thunder
Mountain section, which he pro
nOunces the richest he has ever seen.
His business here was the closing uT
Of deal by which he disposes o.

by himself and j. D. Brown, to al

AN ACCOUNTING ASKED
Mr.. and Mrs. Stiles Ask for Portion Of
ChOate Estate

The hearing in the suit of Edward
Stiles against the estate of VIM.
Choate, deceased, began on the 11th
before Referee H. +. Stark, and con-
tinued five days. An adjournment
was then taken until today, and the
rest of the week will no doubt be
consumed in the hearing. Lot l..
Feltham is the attorney for plaintiff
and John w. Ayers for j. NJ. Sny-
der, the administrator. The story a.
told by Mr.. and Mrs. Styles is most
interesting.
Some twenty years ago Mr.. and
Mrs. Stiles and Mr.. Choat bought =
squatter's REIMBURSEMENT to q little
cove at the foot of Warm Springs
valley, few miles below Weiser,
and operated the place as partners.
Som etime during the sos The land
was surveyed and ChOat f1led on tue
land, Stiles having used his home
stead right. In time he made final
proof and patent was issued to him.
Stiles claimed q half interest in the
ranch, but Choate died without deed
ing it to him. As he lived with them
for years as one of the family and ~
they jointly improved the place this
suit is for partnership accounting
and for an allowance to Mrs. Stiles
for cooking and sewing for Choats
nursing him during his sickness. II
was known that the latter had fam
lily somewhere in the east, and since
his death son was here investigating
the value of the estate.

1000 FEET TO OIL.
What an Oil Expert Says of Ashley
Gas Well.

The Vale Democrat speaks of
some recent Investigations of the
Malheur oil fields by an old oil ex-
pert. The Democrat then ads:
The we'll near Weiser from which
natural Illuminating gas is procured,
has been visited. 1t is located on
Dead Ok Flat. Several residents
thereabout combined to bore for
artesian water, and went to depth
of l :, 900 feet, without much success,
but the principal man in the enter
prise, who owned the land where the
boring was done, gets enough gas
from the we'll to light his house
Mr.. Brown estimates that at this
point a we'll would have to be bored
at least 4, 600 feet to tap the oil bear
ing stratum, as the formation dips
rapidly toward the Snake, and thi'
we'll is a short distance on the Oregon
side from the river. Nampa is direct
ly in the line of this basin.
