NEW LAND DISTRICT
ConsOlidateS Idaho County Territory,
Divided Into Three Districts.
A LAND OFFICE IN GRANCEVILLE
Proposition Meets With Gen.
eral Favor and Will Fill a
LOng-Felt Want.

At the board of trade meeting
held last Friday night a proposition
was submitted for consideration to
consolidate the three SECTIONS of
Idaho county which are now segre-
gated into the three land offices at
Lewiston, HALEY and Boise into
new land district, with the land
Office in growing Grangevilie. The
project was greeted with much en-
thusiasm aud at the next meeting
OF the board plans will be consid.
cred for carrying it into effect.
As matters stand at present the
total area of Idaho county is 6,9lS,-
500 acres. This territory is divided
up into three land Office districts
as follows.
Acres.
Lewiston district. Il ola, 800
Boise district 1,592, 900
HALEY ....a..... l 3O1 900
The Total area, being very close
to 1000, 900 acres, is considered
sufficient to make one of the largest
land districts in the west, and the
growth OF population in the pro-
posed new district being much
more rapid than in any other Sec
ton Of the state, it is thought that
its formation will easily be ap-
proved in Washington, and that
its creation will be of very material
benefit to the people concerned by
giving them a land Office for the
transaction of their business con-
nected with the public domian at
the county seat, where their rec
ords of title are accessible.
The Thunder Mountain country.
for instance, is in the HALEY land
district, while the Warren coun-
try is in Boise district, and the Sc
curing OF mineral patents or the in
stitution of adverse claims necessi-
tates expense which the location of
land office in growing Grangeville
will obviate.

strike out with measured pace,
snorting with each stroke, being di-
rected from the boat as to. which

is their stroke that two small thir-

Deep Water Fishes.

It is said by scientists that fishes
and mollusks living at a depth of
more than three miles under water
have to bear a pressure of several
tons, the weight being that of the
superintendent brine, which exerts
its power from all sides. The rea-
son they are able to bear this ire
mendous weight is because they have
exceedingly loose tissues, which al
low the water to flow through every
interstice, thus equalizing the
weight. When the pressure is re-
moved, they die almost instantly.

Appleton, Wis, Jan. 22.-Two
marble slabs, erected to the memory
of deceased husbands of Mrs.
Herman Brueckner, standing side by
side and differing only in inscriptions
and carving constitute the unique
occupancy of lot in Woodlawn
cemetery in this city. On one slab,
erected 70 the memory of her first
husband is hand with the index
finger pointing upwards, and, toge
Their with the name Of the deceased,
date of birth and death, there is also
the inscription, you are gone. but |

slab, erected to the memory of her
second husband, is carved a similar
hand. but with the index finger
pointing downward. Beside the
name Of the decease his date Of birth
and death, there is no other inscript-
ion.
While the two COMMISSIONERS have
occupied their position for two years
and have been the source of u great
deal of interesting comment, the
motive for which they were thus
carved and erected has not until re-

men. Since their demise, she has
m lrri I'd her present husband, Her
man Brueckne", who was as suffer
for her hand at the time of her mar
rage to SieIaff, the second husband.
Inspired by jealously and anger at
the fact that he was second choice to
Sielaff in the eyes OF one he loved,
Brueckner swore vengeance.
Promptly upon the death of his
old-time rival and antagonist,
Brueckner again assured thu widow
that he could make her life happy,
and in few months they were mar
riage.
Now came the oppor tunity for, re
venge. Being a store and marble
C liter by trade, he quickly developed
the idea of erecting a slab similar to
the one which his wife had erecte
t, the memory of her first husband,
with the exception of the direction of
the pointing hand and the eilmina-
ton of the inscription. Realizing
the fact that she had not been very
happy with her second usband and
that be on many occasions had been
mean and cruel to her, it took but
little persuasion TO secure the per-
mission of his wife o build She slaJ
according to his own ideas and wish
es. Accordingly, the stone was
made by Brueckner and has since
occupied position alongside of and
in direct contrast to the one erected
to the memory of the first hus ba nd.
