probable the next legislature will be

the object of criticism and attack,
and both have enemies who would

Fortunately only the edge OF the
awful slide struck him. He was
buried in the loose snow aud the
mule behind was barely able to kesp
its head above the fleecy mass. Mr..
Wood soon extricated himself and
after tramping the snow down around
the mule he got the animal out and
headed back toward Roosevelt.
Mr.. Woods said last night that If
he had been i've or elk feet further
along, certain death would hsve
been his portion. Mr.. HArdenbrook,
was further back and did not have
such close call, The two men re-
traced their steps to Roosevelt with

Of the boundary survey:
E G. Hollingshead was up from
Pollock this week and reports that
the commissioners of Washington
county have recently had an alleged
survey made of the boundary line be-
tween Washington and Idaho count
les with the result that they now
claim strip of territory about
twelve miles from north to south
which has heretofore been considered
as belonging to this county, and are
now collecting taxes on mining
property there, and otherwise as
serting the jurisdiction of Washing
ton county. The matter is in such
E1oubt- that many miners and settlers
I In the disputed belt refused to vote
at the election. Others are filing
their mineral location notices at
Weiser, and unless the matter is ad-
justed pretty soon titles to land and
mining property will be in bad
mess. We have known nothing of
the exact circumstances connected
with the survey, and if the law gives
that territory to Washington county,
we surely will not dispute the claims
which that county is now making.
! Itoccurs to us that the best and
Needlest way would be for both
counties to make joint survey nex'
summer and have the boundary line
established as the law requires The
last Legislative utterance on this
subject was in 1895, when the bound
