Additional Local.

G. M. Bumgarner has tract of
land growing alfalfa which he has
had rented for several years, and
reports that for the last three
years it has paid him ten per cent
on a valuation of hundred dol
lars an acre. Mr.. Bumgarner
says, however, that it is the
choicest block of land in their
whole tract. Mr.. Wallace Toll
man reports that a very ordinary
forty acre block which he is farm
ing on the Trego ranch produces
even more hay than the Bum
garner tract, but that it was
graded very evenly and plowed
about foot deep before being
seeded, and he attributes the big
yield to "intensive cultivation. "

It's significant that the Demo
Gratis of Bingham county in their
convention, turned down Senator
Dubois and his supporters, thus
preventing them from going to
the state convention as delegates.
The Senator says that it is Won
derful what an important Issue
the Mormon question has become
in the east, and in western Idaho;
places where they are not face TO
face with the matter. OF course
that is where agitation is the most
successful. In the solid Mormon
counties people are not adopting
antl-Mormon resolutions, and in
states east as well as the western
counties of Idaho the people are
more apt to concur with the state.
ments of speakers who go among
them and represent one side of the
case, but in such counties as
Bingham and Bannock where
there is fair division of Nor
mons and Gentiles, where they
are face to face with the alleged
blgamous relations, there is very
little said and apparently very
little uneariness about it. 1t has
been said that the people in these
counties are afraid to agitate the
question, but just now when the
whole country is ready to help
them fight the matter, is d good
time for them to take courage ii
they are ever going to act.
One national convention saws
it is local matter which should
be left to be settled by the local
people, and those who are closest
to the trouble say it is dying out
as fast as could be expected, and
that while some are living in
violation of the law, there are
probably no more violating this
statute than there are violating
other laws ali the time, and the
younger generation holds such
characters i'll disrepute. They
will be glad when the subject is
lost and forgotten 50 they can as.
sumo the places of American citi-
zens without any disgrace attach
ing to them which exists to some
extent in the present generation.
Senator Dubois either knows more
than most Of us about the bad IN
tentlons Of the Mormons or he
overstates it.

IronCompany, which leases 100 convicts
from the State. is DESTROYS of transfer
ring convicts from Mine No. 2 to Mine
No. the last mentioned mine having
heretofore been operated by free
miners who are now on strike. The
contract for lease OF the convicts pro-
vides that they shall be worked in
Mine No or any other mine in it's
vicinity. Mine No. is two miles dis
tant from Mine No. and as there has
been a protest both from miners and
citizens against working cOnvicts in
No. 8 the Convict Board and the Gov
ernor have been called upon to deter
mine whether the conVicts may be
transferred from No. to No. 8.
1t is said that the convicts have
already been put to work in No3 pend
ing a decision by the State authorities.
