The following document was sub
mitted by the county clerk to the
board of county commissioners and
taken under advisement at the pres
ent session:
MT. IDAHO, Oct. 16, 1902.
To the Hon. Board Of County Com
missioners Of Idaho County,
IdahO:
Gentlemen-As a public official
and in the interest OF the public
service l desire to call your atten-
ton to the rapidly increasing busi-
ness Of this Office, and to tho fact
that the present Office room is en-
tirely inadequate for the purpose
Of conducting the volume OF bust
ness necessary to be transacted
through this Office at the present
time.
Az you are aware, during the last
nine months this Office has en-
ployed from six to ten deputies and
clerks, and the use of almost every
Office in and about the court house
has been used in conducting the
business Of this Office, and only for
the in iulgence OF other officials in
permitting the use of their offices
the public business would have
been seriously retarded.
That you may have some idea Of
the increase of business in the re-
corder's Office during the laet IL
months your attention is called to
the fact that at this date IN the
year 1901 there had been made in
the recorders fee book 1854 en-
tries, and at this date in the year
1902 there have been made in the
same book 6822 entries. This is
outside of and separate from the
business in the district court and
business connected with keeping
the auditors accounts, which has
increased materially, but not cor
respondingly with the business in
the recorders office.
Your attention is called to the
above facts that you may take such
steps or make such recommends
tions as yon may deem necessary
in the premises. Respectfully,
A. W. TALKINGToN,
Clerk of the District Court and ex-
Officio Auditor and Recorder.

The grounds, building and equip

be monument that Grangeviiie
may justly be proud Of, ms it is II
rare sight to see Y. M. &. A. in
a city Of less than 5000 inhabitants
and Grangeville, perhaps, will be
one Of the smallest cities in the
country having a Y. NJ G. A own
ing and occupying it's own bnild-
ing. This speaks highly for the
enterprise and public spirit of our
citizens who have 30 generously
responded to tn appeal that has
made this small though quite COM
plete association possibility in
Grangeville.
Another factor which has tended
largely to make this institution a
possible success is the fact that DR..
Green has pushed the work to its
present attainmrnts aud demon-
straied his own capabilities OF
handling this work successfully
and also the need of Grangeville's
having such an institution, for
while we have but half til. reqii-
site population, the important posi-
tion Of Grangeville. having its i'm
mense mining, stockraising aud ag-
ricnltural country tributary, gives
it the transient population and vol
ume Of business of many towns
several tunes it's actual size.
DR.. Green's first effort in asso-
citation work here was five years
ago this fall when he opened free
reading room and mems club room
in the Grange bull ding, where he
then had his Office, and that winter
over 10000 visits Of men were re-
corded at the rooms. This was
followed by the organization of a
boys club known as the Adelphics,
and finally small equipment OF
homemade gymnasium apparatus
was made and that department last
year became overcrowded. This
led to the movement of last spring
that was made to form a regularly
incorporated Y. M. G. A., with the
present bright prospects Of soon
moving into it's own permanent
quarters. 1t is DIR. Green's aim tO
make this association as progress
i've in the future as it has been in
the past and he has volunteered his
services as general secretary and
physical director free of charge
until the association may become
self-supporting, and by receiving
the hearty cooperation OF Grange
vile and the surrounding country
there is every reason to believe that
his brightest hopes will soon be
realized.
The expense of this work has
been kept at its minimum, and by
all doing their. little there will be
no doubt as to it's future. Our
business men have generously re-
sponded with donations of hum
dreds of dollars, and all who can
should respond in equally proper
tionate gifts; the smallest gifts,
either in money, books or anything
that may be used in the work, will
show your interest and tend just
so much toward it's ultimate sue.
cess. DO not wait to be asked. but
help just that much by rendering
your aid and services, and help
now while help is most needed.

off Menemsha Light with the first period
of the war maneuvers in which the white
squadron is to contend against the army.
this day was the scene of much activity on
board each warship of the fleet Just when
the battleships, cruisers and other boats
will leave this anchorage is not known, ex-
cept by Rear Admirals Higginson and
Coghlan, the officers in command. Although
the period which starts at midnight is
known as the period of preparation it is
believed that very soon after the opening
hour arrives the squadron, or some part of
it, Will get under way and proceed TO an in
vestigation of the situation in the ZEN
envy s. country. 1t is understood that dur
ing the period Of preparation there may be
actual bombardment or feints, for the
purpose of testing the efficiency of each
part of the line of forts.
The squadron was augmented last night
by the arrival of the converted yacht May
flower, the Gloucester and the ;Leyden. The
go or more marine who have been camping
on Martina Vineyard returned to their
ships to-day. Tents had been up since
Monday, and the shore service had put the
men in excellent condition.
The army observers who are to cooperate
with the navy umpires in rendering de-
cisions as to the results of the various
maneuvers also jointed the fleet to-day.
About fifteen observers in all reported, and
under orders from Rear Admiral Higginson
they were distributed among the various
ships.
In the midst of the preparation to-day a
boat race, arranged as pleasant recreation
for all before the beginning of ''hostilities, -
took place between crews from the Massa-
chusetts and Kearsarge. Each crew con-
sisted of twelve men, with a cOXswain, and
the course was three miles. The race went
to the Massa chusets.
The boats were bow and bow almost all
the way, and the winning crew finished
only quarter of a length ahead The time
was twenty-siX minutes. The scene at the
finish of the contest almost rivaed a uni
versity regatta. Permission had been giver
for all hands to view the event, and there
were more than $500 spectators, ranging in
rank from jackie to rear admiral

NEWPORT, r. l., Aug. 29.-The night be-
fore the battle finds the army of defense in
several ports along shore between New
Bedford and the eastern entrance of Long
Island sound practically in readiness to re-
pei the attack of the hostile fleet under the
command of Rear Admiral Higginson. The
only thing that remains is the additional
armament on both sides, the Massachusetts
heavy artillery for the shore and the Mas
sachusetts, Connecticut and New York
naval militia for the fleet. The organiza-
tions will arrive tomorrow forenoon. The
artillery will be at once distributed among
the posts at the entrance of Narragansett
bay and also at New Bedford. AS to the
naval militia, the gunboats Mayfower and
Scorpion will be here in readiness TO re-
ceive the Massachusetts and Connecticut
troops, the New York naval militia arriving
on the Supply. These three boats will i'm
mediately leave for sea and the militia will
be distributed among the vessels of the
fleet. 1t is expected that the fleet of Ad-
miral Higginson will disappear from the
coast some time tomorrow night and will
not be heard from again until the attack is
made
The principal event to-day in this vicinity
was the arrival of Major General Mac
Arthur, commander of the Department of
the East, on a tour of inspection. He was
received at Fort Adams late in the after
noon and a long consultation was held this
evening at headquarters. After his inspec-
ton of three forts defending Narragansett
bay, General Macarthur will leave for New
Bedford, probably tomorrow afternoon.
A large number of signal stations reach
ing from Fort Adams along the southern
end of Rhode Island, which is practically
the city of Newport, have been established
by the army. These stations are all in
telephone communication with headquar-
ters at Fort Adams. A wireless telegraph
system has been established between Fort
Adams and the mainland and also with the
forts on Canonicut island and Dutch island,
Fort Wetherill on the former and Fort
Greble on the latter. The main reliance of
the army of defense in this vicinity is the
searchlght station at Prices Neck very
close to the life-Saving station. The mines
at the entrance of Narragansett bay are
practically in position and the umpires
have charts of the same. These umpires
and the observers all left for their different
positions to-day and tonight are expected
to be ready for duty. The date for the
commencement of hostiltieS is at midnight
tonight, but the actual warfare will not
begin until midnight Sunday. The forty
eight hours are allowed Admiral Higginson
to obtain some advantageous position off
shore

Fears of Sir Christopher Furness.

LONDON, Aug. 29.-Sir Christopher Fur
ness, the shipowner and shipbuilder, pre-
siding at steamship meeting at Man
chester to-day declared that a question
which was more and more frequently asked
was why, in the United States, under
protection. trade was so prosperous, while
Great Britain, a free-trade country was
not so prosperous as she should be? AS
a free-trader, he was of the opinion that
the problem must be more seriously con-
sidered. There was danger he apprehend-
ed, Of Great Britain, before many years,
becoming protectionist, and at the same
time he would not be surprised to see the
the United States adopting free trade.
