Homesteads Being Taken Up Through
ont the Upper Country.
MOST SURPRISING CHANGE
Raising Good Crops without Irrigation on the
Hills and In the Valleys.

Ed. Signal: The weather is rather
warm and dry for the season in the
upper portions of the country. A
large number OF horses, cattle and
sheep are now grazing in the noun
tain sections and are being moved to
higher elevations as the snow melts.
All the tributaries of Weiser are now
at their best. Every mountain
stream is rushing torrent and many
cool retreats offer refuge to the health
and pleasure seeker. Game is net
very plentiful but fishing is good.
Esten Freeman and Clarence
White Of Meadows, have the mail
contract between Meadows and
Grangeville for four years, beginning
July Ist On that date they will be-
gin running daily stages connecting
at Meadows with routes to Council,
Long Valley, Warren and Thunder
Mountain. This is the connecting
| link via the new state wagon road,
between the railway systems of North
and South Idaho. Much Of the
Thunder Mountain travel coming by
northern routes will go by this line
intersecting the Council Warren route
at Meadows.
1t is surprising to the settler OF
twenty years ago to note the new
homesteads settled all over the
county in the smaller valleys and
foothills and the numerous individ-
ual irrigation rights being developed
by the storage system, where few
years ago it was thought the land
was good only for stock range.
Also it is being demonstrated that
many thousands Of acres Of higher
lands will produce good crops with
out irrigation.

A singular fact in this connection 10
that those who live nearest to, and
in constant touch with, the new dis
covery have unbounded faith in it,
extent and richness 1t is only ~
one gets further away that doubts are
expressed. A gentleman prominently
connected with the Dewey mine and
mill, and who has prospected great
deal in that district, told me In Boise
a few days ago dozen mines Of
equal richness and extent would be
opened up this summer. He had the
faith of experience and actual inves-
tigation He is far from being OPP
timistic, Every man in both Weiser
and Council believes that Thunder
Mountain and the surrounding dis
trict will prove to belone OF the few
great gold camps OF the world, and
they are certainly better qualified to
form an opinion than are those living
at much greater distance.

who have much experience in Thun-

Monroe Creek PIacerS,

Messrs. A. b. Anderson and Sol
Barnett, who are interested in the
placers on Monroe Greek,
about six miles from town, were ex-
hibiting Saturday afternoon the re-
suit of two pans Of dirt taken from
their ground. There was probably
rs cents in gold in the pan. The
gold is coarse, many pieces being as
large as grains of rice. The gentle
men are much elated with the pros
pect and will Immediately begin ac-
tive arrangements for working the
ground. An expert who has exam
ined the property for the owners is
OF the opinion that a rich quartz
ledge Is in the immediate vicinity,
and advised the owners to run tun-
mel into the hill which Is embraced
in their ground. A tunnel has been
started and is in about fifteen feet,
and will be extended as rapidly af
possible.
The opening up of quartz anc
placer claims so near town would b,
of great benefit to the community
and it is hoped that the ground is al
that its owners hope for it,

the confirmed belief of mining men
that all the gold was not taken from

Things are different this year. There

Many citizens who usually shirk all
responsibility for city government and
devote all their time to finding fault
are in it TO work for better municipal
government. Every individual citizen
has a direct interest Ill the coming
election. It effects his pocket-book as
well as his comfort If the taxpayers
Of Kenosha will for once assume the
responsibilities of intelligent citizenship
they can have much better city gov
ernment. The material as well as the
opportunity is at hand. Every voter
owes it to himself as we'll as to the city
to select the best men for Office, and
the man who fails to do so has no
right to complain at results. The gov
