Over 5000 Acres to Be
Under Irrigation.
FIFTY CENTS PER ACRE
And Permanent Water Right at $40
Per Acre-Work on the Lane
and Eyeleth Canal.

All the details fer opening up q
tract of state land of over 6,50C
acres have been completed and the
probabilities are that within the
next two weeks it will be opened
for settlement near Bliss in this
county. This land will be placed
on the market under the provisions
of the Carey act, which was passed
during the last session of the legis-
lature.
This land will be watered by the
Mullins Canal 81 Reservoir Com pany
who have already spent several
thousands of dollars on it and have
prepared the way for poor people
who wish to locate it, or take it up
and make homes which will mean
that much more taxable property
for Lincoln county and an increased
population of good citizens for we
have no other. The land is to be
sold only to actual settlers and the
price will be so cents per acre in
accordance with the new law, and
$40 per acre will be charged for the
water rights.
The canal is now nearly completed
and the lands which will be placed
on the market at the present time
can all be provided with water this
season. The lands are all within
eight miles of Bliss in this county
on the main line of the Oregon
Short Line and some of the land
adjoins the town plat, which assures
a rapid disposal of it.

FROM THUNDER MOUNTAIN
A Distinguished Mining Man En-
Route to New York

Harvey e. Taylor, who has the
distinction of being one of the first
men to go into Thunder Mountain
passed through Shoshone Monday.
Mr.. Taylor located and sold the
famous Gold Ridge mine and loca-
ted the Roosevelt townsit out of
which he cleared up over $250, 900
and still has extensive interests in
Thunder Mountain. He is en- route
to New York and Philadelphia on
mining business and stated to re-
porter of the JOURNAL that the
district is all that is claimed for it
and more, and says that the immi-
grafton to the new gold fields has
just begun and that more people
will come TO Idaho this year than
in any five years past. He has
been in that district over four years
and says as a mining district it
promises to rival thai of Cripple
Greek or the famous Black Hills
which claims to be the richest 100
square miles in the world. Mr.. |
Taylor is an old friend OF R. M. |
and stopped off to see
lim but he being out of town they

Goes over a Cliff.

Roy Thatcher met with an acci-
dent on Wednesday last that came
near being a fatal one. He was
gathering horses about twenty-five
miles above town and was trying to
get particularly wild horse into
the bunch, and was running his
saddle horse at his best in his efforts
to head off the wild horse, when he
came abruptly on a break in the lava
or cliff, and before he could even
throw himself from his horse both
horse and rider went over the cliff
and fell about fifteen feet on the
rocks below. Roy was knocked
senseless and lay for some time be-
fore he came to. when he went to
the railroad and tagged train and
got to town where he could get
aid. Aside from bad
bruises he had a very deep cut on
lis left jaw. evidently made by
upon a sharp bit of lava,
)r. Emerson sewed the cut tip and
Roy is feeling all right, except a
title sore.

Mike Ryan who is one of the
Oldest and best known miners and
prospectors Of Idaho returned from
a months visit at his old home at
Duncan, Iowa, Monday where he
had not been in over twenty four
years. He says the old home is
not to him as it used to be as many
changes have been made during his
long absence, but on the whole he
had a very enjoyable trip. Mr..
Ryan returned to his mines on
Wood river Wednesday, and when
speaking to him of Thunder Noun
tain said he had no desire to go there
and stated that the mining out look
on Wood river, he thought, held out
just as good inducements for him
and were, he considered, good
enough. Mr.. Ryan had been ali
over the Thunder Mountain country
over 20 Years ago and says he knows

POLITICAL FORECAST
POpulist and Democratic
Committees Meet
AT BOISE NEXT WEEK
The Program of the Two Parties
as Portrayed by Our Cor
respondent at Boise.

! B oise, May 22-There will he a
meeting of the Democratic state
committee in this city Oh May 81.
The So called Sample Populist
committee will meet here the day
before-Memorial Day-certainly
an appropriate date. 1t has been
understood that the Sampleites
would, after preliminary meeting,
90 over to the Democratic commit
tee on the 31st and be received
with open arms. But your cores
pondent does not believe anything
OF that sort is going to happen.
The meetings will, in his opinion,
be separate. There will be no
formal union at that time of the
small contingent that is sailing
under stolen Populist banner and
the Democracy. The leaders Of the
Democracy are too wise for any
thing of that kind. Why? Be
cause, if they should consolidate at
this time the Democrats would have
received nothing but the committee
itself; while the Democratic leaders
figure that if the consolidation be
postponed until the conventions
meet, the Sampleites might in the
meantime add sufficiently to their
mum bers to constitute themselves
more valuable asset in the Demo
cratic eye. The consolidation will
come off when the convention meet,
and the Sampleites will at that
time receive only such recognition
as their numbers entitle then to.
When the two committees meet
here the last of next week the
Democrats will, in effect. notify the
oampleites that they must go forth
n to the vineyard and cut into the
Populist grape good and strong be-
ore they viii be received as full

i'll not sound good to the Sample

Fresno, Cal, July 28.-In Por-
terville yesterday James Mckinney
ran amuck and initiated his per-
formanee by shooting out the lights
of saloon and tried to shoot the
cards out of the hands Of a man in
a card game. That he only wound
ed the man was due to his poor
craftsmanship and not to his Grim
inal intentions. He then proceeded
to livery stable and secured a rig
at the point Of a revolver. A con-
stable, deputy and several citi-
zens attempted 10 arrest McKen-
ney, but he opened fire and four of
them were more or less seriously
wounded.
officers in surrounding counties
were notified, and sharp outlook
is being kept. McKenney has a bad
record, having some years ago been
sent to states prison from Tulare
county. Two years ago he killed
a man in Bakersfield, but was ex-
onerated.
William Lonn, a gambler, whose
abdomen aud legs were filled with
buckshot, has succumbed to his
wounds. McKenney also filed the
right arm of George Barrows, a
printer, with shot, sent bullet in
to the mouth of Deputy Marshal.
Willis another into the arm of Dep
uty Constable Tompkius, and load
of shot into the arm of w B West.
Before leaving towu he called at the
house of Dave Moshier. He awak-
ened Moshier and called him to the
door. Standing before the door,
with gun in hand, McKenney ex-
claimed: I've got into a HI of
Ia fight. They came after me, but
1 whipped them all. ! killed three
or four of them. They have not
treated me right. They can send
the whole town after me. I'll die
game. You Talk about Tracy?
Tracey, he won't be in it with me.
They hurt me-"
Putting his hand to his leg he
squeezed up handful of blood. He
then drove off to Lindsey and is
headed for Fresno county, where it
is supposed he will make for the
mountains. McKenney has a shot
gun, rife and revolver, and will
not be taken alive. Sheriff Parker
and his deputies are in pursuit, but
no definite information has been re-
celved as to the deSperado'S where
abouts.
