4 STURDY GOVERNOR.

Governor John G Brady, may his tribe increase, is cheerful and optimistic individual. We like Governor Brady, because he is so loyal to the land of his adoption, in which he has spent five and twenty years We like him despite his idiosyncraces, and he has them, because he is in no sense a 'knocker." We believe that his judgment at times has been at fault and, therefore, open to just criticism, but taken all in all he is an Alaskan in whom there is no guile. He has a blunt, practical way of going at things political which is refreshing, because it is unique It's honesty is absolutely ai'- parent. He is not diplomat in any sense there fore he is not timescrver; he is plain and blunt man, who talks of things Alaskan he them and knows them. A copy of the governors annual report has reached the NUGGET and it is refreshing in nearly all particulars. In it Governor Brady honeyed phrases he literally hamalers facts into the mind of congress in protean way that ought to influence the most obtuse intellect, congressional otherwise The day is coming when shall he grown folks, and shall sit down with the company" says the governor; and he continues:
 We want the land laws in their fullness We want tho lands surveyed for immediate settlemen
 We want delegate in congress. Alaska has none We are hoping that congress will not go through an other session without taking action this sub ect. The bill which was reported by Mir. Knox, chairman of the committee territories had not dissenting voice against it. by any member of that comnlittee
 The report presented by MT. B,ick is an able argu- ment in support of the bill. We disappointed by its failure to be brought up and passed but we have had q long schooling in patiencc and have learned to wait for the second table. We hope Mr. Knox may present his bill early and keep hammer
 ing and obstruc;ng until he gets hearing, for what is more just than that Alaska should have dele gate-he choice of her people-authorized to go 10 Washington and represent her interests? These in tercsts varied and numerous that delegates time will be fully occupied in looking after them" There is not an honest-minded resident of Alaska who will be found to take issue with the words Of Governor Brady. Alaska has suffered long enough from the ignorance, neglect and purblindness of successive congresses and administrations. Let us hope that the time of our deverance is at hand.

THE ADVANTAGES OF ISOLATION.

To live in g community isolated from the rest of lhe world is privilege. We aware that this statement will meet with adverse criticism. yet 1t is made with cheerfuness that invites all criticism, hostile and otherwise, There are worse evils than isolation colony of recluses not necessarily all crazy; state of hermitage is not indicative of ak cned intellect Indeed if VIC read the history of past ages alright, the hesmits accounted wise and holy men who forsook the haunts of their fellows and devoted themselves to contemplations, religious and economic From their observations and research has sprung great dtNl of the wisdom which We today make use of and which has enriched learning and improved our understanding.
 But we who are in this section arc not isolated from choice. Wo arc here through concatenation of circumstances the central idea being that cir cumstances need bettering. No doubt errors of udg ment were made as to the material improvement which we expected would follow us, or which we would achieve in q new and virgin land. That dis appointments have followed us was to be expected. If we have not been able to overcome them, it is to be deplored At the same time most of us have been able to summon to our aid that fortitude which the

ANNUAL CONGRESSIONAL BR4YFEST.

The average col greseman looks upon Alaska "revenue producor' for the federal treasury; and when appropriation of any kind is asked for he seems to figure in his mind how much cent per cent the appropriation will return to the United States treasury. With stupidity that is asinine with an intelligence much less than that exhibited by Balaan's
 ss the congressional wiseacrcs rise up and bray out their objections to anything that has for its object recognition of the just demands of this district. "For expenditures in Alaska we get returns" shouts a hayseed from some jerkwatcr district, and other members who ought to have some little sense respond amen" And yet every year Alaska covers hand surplus into the treasury of the United States and above the cost of governing" it. The sur plus is wrung illegally, of course, from patient people, who are required by alleged law to render unto Caesar much more than that which rghtfully belongs to Caesar. We believe in official honesty hut we do believe in that kind which would exact the last cent from man because he lives in Alaska that plethoric treasury might receive few more crumbs.

For the Reflector.
PAYErrE, Idaho, Dec. l5.-It has
been nearly three years since we left
Dickinson county. While we appre.
ciate old Dickinson with her many
good qualities and associations we
have no reason to reverse our de-
cision in coming to the "Gem State. :"
The Payette valley is proving a
very productive one, both in quantity
and variety. Its location between
the mountains gives it a mildness Of
climate that makes 1t possible to
raise nearly all kinds OF crops sue
cessfully. Small grains do extra
we'll, while corn makes good crops.
Some seasons the nights are rather
cool to grow it successfully. Timothy,
red clover, bluegrass, alfalfa-in fact
all grasses well here; it Is the ma.
tive element for alfalfa which, with
proper attention, yields from 5 to I
and quite often 5 and 3 tons to the
acre during the season. 1t sells at
from $500 to $500 per ton, sheep
men taking the bulk Of the crop. In
this valley alone 100000 head would
be very moderate estimate for the
number Of sheep.
Fruits do we'll here, prunes and
apples taking the lead. Some .indi.
viduals ship as high as 20 carloads.
With the melon crop, which BY the
way hardly plays second to Rocky
Ford, We aggregated about 100 car
loads the past season.
There has been q large immigra.
tion to this valley during tho past
two years, the Dakotas, Nebraska,
Iowa and Kansans supplying the
bulk Of new corners. while al sectionl
Of the country are represented. Fol
enterprise and thrift among the peo
pie we find the highest grade as II
evidenced by the good buildings
nicely kept ranches or farms, good
schools and churches.
Raw sage brush lands from 5 to
miles from Payette sell at from $50 tt
$50 FER acre. Improved lands from
$50 to $3.50 and upwards, owing te
location and improvements. Prices
Of stock and produce are fair. Horsel
and ponies range from $40 to 1925
COWS $40 to $50; stock cattle, $40 fol
yearlings, to $50 for mixed lots
sheep 1850 to $500 per head. Fruit
prices; Apples per box, 40 lbs, 81
to 9Oc; prunea so cents per 100 lbs.
dried, 5 to &c per h.; pears, 75c tt
$l.25 per box; strawberries, raspber
ries and blackLerries sold In thei
season at IS to Acc per gallon. TIL
water supply Of the valley is prac
tically inexhaustible, so by prope
application OF water there can be n
failure Of crops.
The health Of the country is full
up to the average, especially consid
ering the number Of invalids comm
here for health. The mineral rt

jerks WILL REFORM EN-.
Plans to Give Tho State New Mar
riage and Divorce Laws.

W. s. jerks, formerly Of Abilene,
is one Of the representatives from
Franklin county. He has about Sol
bills he will try to have made laws.
One is regarding marriage and di.
vorce. "As the law now stands" he
says, "a wife suing for divorce or
alimony cannot testify against her
recreant husband. want the law
changed SO that either party may
testify the same as other witnesses In
action for divorce or alimony or both.
II will introduce bill to repeal
the law permitting a second trial in
eiectment. As the law now stands,
either party may have the first judg.
ment set aside simply for the asking
The clerk makes q minute OF the re.
quest on the journal and the judg-
ment is set aside. 1t is simply
form. The first trial is never con.
tested. 1t Is so much a form that in
some courts judges have practice Of
calling up the cases in ejectment in
the absence Of both parties; the court
renders judgment fer the plaintiff,
enters motion for new trial on the
journal and grants new trial. This
second trial Of ejectment is relic Of
forgotten conditions and should be
abolished.
Il also intend to introduce bill to
limit the number Of special questions
that may be submitted to . jury.
The submitting Of as high ss 800 spe-
cial questions In one case, and ire.
quently 100, is an abuse Of legal pro.
cedure. The vital facts can be sscer-
tanned In almost any case in twenty
searching questions. These, | think,
should be permitted as q matter Of
right to either party. Additional
