After 27 Years,

Fred G. Burgdorf, proprietor Of
the famous Burgdorf spring in this
county, is in town as u witness in
the district court. Mr.. Burgdorf
is a pioneer of this county, and
while greater portion of his life
has been spent here, it has been q
years since he last saw Camas
Prairie. He can hardly realize
the great changes that have taken
place since his last visit, and the
faces of old acquaintances like
the country have changed until
they are hardly recognizable.
When in 1876 he crossed the
Prairie, what is now well culti-
waited farms, was a grass covered
plain, without houses, fences or
even roads. Grangeville was not
even trading post and with the
exception of IA few stock ranches
the whole country was left to the
Nez Perce Indians. Mr.. Burgdorf
came out by the way of White
Bird and was four days making
the trip. He reports lots of snow
in the mountains, and the journey
a rather hard one.

More Complaints Made.

Considerable interest is still be-
ing taken over the horse stealing
cases and since our last issue a
number of additional complaints
have been filed and it is possible
that there are still more to follow.
There are nire parties implicated
in the matter and up to the pres

to fifteen separate charges. The
Idaho County Stock Association is
taking an active part in the matter
and are determined to put stop
to the wholesale stealing of stock
that has been going on for years
past.

AFTER STOLEN SILVER.
Party Digging in California for the
Buried Booty.


A mysterious party Of six persons
has been for some days past poking
about among the powders In Richie
canyon, three miles east Of San Ber-
nardino, Cal, stepping Off distances,
driving stakes and digging holes. and,
though they are uncommunicatlve. 1t
has leaked out that they are in search
OF $4,000 in silver bullion which was
stolen some years ago from the Silver
Wave mine at Dandy.
The theft Of this bullion was one Of
the most daring robberles ever CON-
mitted in that part of the country. The
bullion had been placed in the smelt-
ing room. packed in separate crates
ready for shipment to Los Angeles in
the morning, and while three men
stood guard In front Of the building
some one cut through the rear, quiet
ly uncrated the silver and carried 1t
away on horseback.
Early next morning the theft was
discovered. but so skillfully had the
thief guided his pack animals that
very few tracks were left for the off,
GERS to follow. The supposition wits,
says a San Bernardino correspondent
of the st. Louis Republic, that the rob-
Der had crossed to this side Of the
mountains and had buried his plumber
in Richie canyon. and then, returning
here, had taken the first train out Of
town. Richie canyon was noted as a
hiding place for thieves. 1t being the
easiest way Of escape to San Jacinto
valley, where capture would be next
to impossible.
The treasure seekers now In the cam
yon appear to be working with map
or chart. Their first known move was
to find a tree which formerly stood
half way up the canyon. 1t was cut
down two years ago, and the. men were
forced to inquire Of settler concern
ing its former position. From the spot
pointed out the party began their
stepping Off and distances. The first
hole was dug seventy feet north to a
depth which would have been ample
to have concealed the bullion had it
been buried there. This and the fur
ther fact that one Of the party Is re-
ported to have been friend Of the man
who was suspected of the bullion rob-
berry leads to the supposition that 1t 10
the silver the men are after.

UNDER THE APPLE TREES.

Great is the western grandeur, lovely
this scenic land,
Filled with enhancing beauties and won
ders on every hand,
Bright is the smiling sunshine, fair are
the mountain skies,
Sparkling the star-world's jewels that
out of the darkness rise.
And yet there's soulful yearning these
beauties cannot allay
When memory flashes picture Of a
scene that Is far away,
And we long for the scent Of the bios
SONS and the hum of the busy
Out in the old home orchard under the
apple trees.
Many the years we've wandered far
from that dear old place,
Age has impressed its markings deep in
the once young face,
Time with relentless fingers scatters the
hairs of gray
Over the head then tousled-unkempt as
the cocks of hay,
But never has age obscured them, nor
never has time effaced
The memory pictures of boyhood, of
days when we often chased
The butterflies in tho clover that waved
as the gentle seas
And played in the old home orchard I'M
der the apple trees.
Great is the West in grandeur here
where the mountains rise,
Never was greater beauty arched by the
azure skies,
Sweet is the joy Of living amid these
wonders of God,
Rich are the hills in treasure, fruitful
the pregnant sod.
And yet there Is something lacking
we're longing for but an hour
Distant from where the mountains to the
old home breeze
Out In the old home orchard under the
apple trees.
