MORMON QUESTION
NOMINEE FOR CONGRESS GETS
COLD FEET.
Dubois Is Hopeful, Says Anti-Mor-
mon Fight Is Right and
Will Win.

Boise, Idaho, Aug. 22.-F. HI. Holtz-
heimer, nominated by the state demo-
cratic convention for representative in
congress, has got cold feet and has ad-
dressed letter to G. H. jackson, chair
man of the state committee, declining to
run for the place. Notwithstanding this
Senator Dubois is hopeful of winning
out in the anti Mormon fight. He
says:
sit is too early to make predictions on
the result of the election in Idaho. Re-
gardless of the result, however, the fight
aginst Mormon interference in politics
is eternally right, and sooner or later it
will prevail. We have endured ecclesias-
tical dictation until patience has ceased
to be virtue. The democratic party
merely emphasized feeling in the state
when it declared that present intolerable
conditions should cease.
81 think we shall win" continued
Senator Dubois. 81 spent two days in
Lewiston after our convention, and l
found that the eyes of the general pub
lie there bad been opened by the fair
and frank discussion of the Mormon
question in the convention.
II believe that when the issue is pre-
sented to the voters of the state as we
presented it at Lewiston, the result will
be greatly in our favor. AS / say, how
ever, the issue is right, and am content
to fight it out, either in this campaign or
in every campaign for the next ten
years."

Disgruntled Homesteader.

Chris Elliot is disappointed home
steauer who fled some months ago on
land near Butter creek, induced to do
SO by the specious representations Of
land agents. He says he is not disap-
pointed in the land he selected, provided
the irrigation scheme, ever materialized.
He is pessimistic and says an ordinary
lifetime is too short in which to realize
anything on half the schemes projected
within the past two or three years, and
that someone else is welcome to the
land. He is on his way back to Iowa
East Oregonian.

His Second Cron.

A few weeks ago report was made OF
the attempt of some parties to raise
strawberries in this vicinity, says the
Adams Advance. Saturday the sequel
came to hand in the shape Of nice
bunch OF strawberries from crop that
has matured since the runners began.
John Pierce is the possessor of this
unique strawberry patch, which does
not seem to know when the seasons
work is done. While this crop will
amount to nothing in the way Of inanci-
al returns, it shows that the plants have
not suffered any for moisture, although
not having had drop of water except
rain or snow since being set out last
winter. Mr.. Pierce considers that two
crops of berries the first year after set
ting out the plants pretty fair showing
for a dry country.

TO CHECK FRAUD
PUBLIC LAND STATES DIVIDED
INTO DISTRICTS.
Oregon Separate District With a
Minnesota Man as Special
Agent.

A special to the Oregonian says: To
render the inspection of the service of
the general land Office more effective,
the acting secretary of the interior di-
vided the public land states into nine in
spection districts, placing special
agent in charge Of each. This special
agent will have supervision over all
other special agents assigned to his dis
trict and will have charge OF all inspect
ions carried on in that district, being in
turn directly responsible to the general
land office.
Oregon has been made separate dis
trict with Special Agent Thos. B. Neu
hansen, of Minnesota, in charge. Wash
ington is another separate district with
Edward W. Dixon of Oregon, in charge,
while Idaho and Montana combine to
make another district under Harry III.
Schwartz, Of South Dakota. These
special agents were selected from the
list of five land offices because Of their
proficiency and adaptability for the serv-
ice and will receive $500 instead of
$1,000 as heretofore, with an allowance
of SO per day for subsistence.
Nicholas j. O'Brien will be in charge
OF the Idaho Montana district.
Oregon and Washington are the only
states that constitute separate districts.
The experience Of the past two years has
demonstrated that with all special agents
reporting direct to the general land Of
fee at Washington it has been almost
impossible to keep check on those who
go wrong. Numerous discharges have
lately been made, because special agents
have been found participating in fraudu-
liant land operations, locating settlers on
desirable lands, furnishing spectators
with valuable inside information, etc.
1t was this discovery that led Land
Commissioner Richards to work out the
new system which was approved.
Special agents in charge OF the dis
tricts will have headquarters at local
land offices to be selected by them.
Each will have civil service clerk,
whose salary will be $1,000 per annum.
