ErrOrin Boundaries.

According to plats made from
surveys of portion of Idaho coun-
ty, embracing the Thunder Noun
tain district, the state maps are in.
correct in many particulars. The
plats have just been completed and
are on file in the surveyor gener-
ais office. 1t is shown by them
that approximately $4,000 acres of
land, appearing on the maps as
being part of Boise county, in
reality belong to Idaho county
The fact is also demonstrated
that the mouth of the Little Sal
mon is about 80 miles farther west
than represented on the state maps.
Many other streams are, in fact,
from 10 to Is miles farther to the
westward than shown on the state
maps.
1t is proved by the survey that
Roosevelt is lO3 miles from Boise
as the crow flies, and that the dis
trict is about 20 miles nearer the
capital of the state than is given
on the maps. A number of minor
changes are also noted.
Two sections have been surveyed
in the county and standard has
been run from which future sur.
veys can be made. 1t is expected
the survey will be considerably ex'
tended next year.-Boise States

A bill has been introduced in
the Idaho legislature prohibiting
probate judges from practicing law.
The measure may or may not be a
wise one. The constitution of the
state Of Washington has clause
which prohibits the judge of any
court of record from practicing be-
fore any court, and while it is found
to work well enough in practice in
Washington it does not necessarily
follow that the adoption of a SINH
lar law would work well in Idaho.
If the law is to be passed it should
be made applicable to the judges
of all our courts and not be made
to apply exclusively to the probate
judges.

DROWNING OF MRS. RICE.
Body Found in the Snake River
at Lewiston.

at Lewiston.
Mrs. Emma Rice, sister OF
Mrs. John Rice and George Odle,
of this county, was drowned in the
Snake river at Lewiston last Thurs
day evening. The Lewiston Trib-
une gives the following account Of
the affair:
The dead body of Mrs. Emma
Rice was taken from the Snake
river at 10 o'clock yesterday norm
ing by George Seeley and John
Norberg at a point about 200 yards
above the Snake river ferry land
ing. At some hour during the
night, perhaps early Thursday
evening, the unfortunate woman,
suffering from temporary aberra-
ton, had sought relief in the river.
Messrs. Norberg and Seeley, who
are fishermen, were on their way
to the fishing grounds when they
noticed a woman's dress floating
near the surface of the water. An
investigation disclosed the body,
which was lying on the bottom OF
the channel few feet from the
shore. The remains had been held
in the eddy by the waves from the
rapids above.
The deceased was the daughter
&c Mrc OJla and o;ota, of Mrs.
Ezra Baird .of this city. She was
residing with her mother at ths
Baird home on Normal hill and or
Thursday evening at 5 o'clock dis
appeared from the house. A search
was inaugnrated and she was traced
to a point near the Snake rivel
beach when the imprint of he
footsteps was lost. The search wal
continued with lanterns until lat'
hour, but no trace of her could b'
found. Yesterday morning anx
ious relatives again resumed thu
search, and the aged mother wa
near the beach when the fishermen
found the body. An examination
of the beach enabled her footstep
to be traced to the point where sh,
entered the river, and her BODY
had evidently not floated more thar
a few feet after she had entered tn,
stream. The remains were imme
diately taken to the parlors of thu
Lewiston Furniture & Undertak
ing company and later to the Bairt
residence.
The afflicted relatives state tina
the unfortunate woman had SUI
fered much during Thursday ant
in the evening stepped outside thu
house, explaining that she desired
fresh air. She was not again seer
alive by them. The deceased leaves
little daughter, having been di
vorced from her husband. Franz

EVOLUTION OF POPULISM.

LII
The political press of today con-
tains great deal of matter relative
to the alleged decay of populism,
pointing to the decline in the vote
of the peoples party as indicating
change Of sentiment respecting
the yagaries Of that political or
ganization.
1t is a mistake to assume that
populism has declined; on the
contrary, it has evoluted into its
most natural form of expression,
designated as socialism.
The evolution of the granger
into the greenbacker and the
greenbacker into the populist and
the populist into the socialist and
the socialist into the anarchist, is as
natural q process in politics is as
the fruition Of grain from its seed.
Time alone has been required to
bring about the changes noted, and
additional time is alone necessary
to advance the socialist to his next
step in political evolution.

are factors in human affairs, SO

1t has taken but few years to
transmute the champion of the

ardent socialist, the chrysalis con-
