Our old friend j. B. Morrow,
of Boise City, was in Challis last
week. Mr.. Morrow informed US
that Boise City was steadily
growing and that many improve
ments are now going on in that
city. He is a great friend of the
Midland railroad proposition, and
hopes that it will be built at an
early date, for he is fully
acquainted with the territory the
road would pass through, know
ing that it would open up one of
the richest mineral, timber, agri-
cultural and stock raising regions
known, besides it would double
the population of Boise City
within few years.
Judge Perky is becoming more
popular with the people of Gus
ter county at each session of the
District Court held here. The
! able manner in which he presides
while on the bench is commend
ed by all, besides business is
transacted with dispatch, and
his rulings prove that he is an
able jurist. The honorable position
that he holds has in no way
made him think that be is super
ior to his fellowman, for whether
you meet him as Judge on the
bench, or upon the streets or in
his home, he is always the same
friendly and gentlemanly. AS
a Judge, Mr.. Perky acts without
fear or favors. being fair and
impartial in all his rulings and
decisions.
The term of District Court held
in Challis last week was a very
light docket. Two important
cases tried however. occupied

ed a verdict in favor of plaintiff,
; The other was the Pahsamaroi
water case-Hicks Cochran VS..
Valentine Maelzer, which was
, subbmited to the Court, and the
Judge has taken the evidence
: under advisement and will give
+ his decision at Chambers. This
case called quite a number OF
: witnesses from Pahsamaroi val.
