New Stock Branding Law.

There seems to be a number OF
stockmen who do not know that a
new branding law went into effect
in this state on the 9TH of last
March, and still more who, being
aware that such an enactment ex-
lists, have not taken the pains to
familiarize themselves with it's pro-
visions. Such is the impression,
at any rate, that prevails in the
office of the state auditor, who is
made ex-Officlo state recorder of
brands. He. has experienced SO
much difficulty in attempting to
put stockmen on the right track
that he announces he will furnish
all applicants with copies of the
new law in pamphlet form. He
especially desires attention called
to the following sections of the law:
con or before the first day of
June, 1905, after the passage of
this act, every stock-grower owning
sheep, and on or before the first day
of October, 1905, the owners of all
other livestock using any recorded
brand shall forward to the state
recorder copy of such recorded
brand, duly certified to by the coun-
ty recorder of the county in which
any such brand is recorded. Such
person shall pay the recorder a fee
OF 70 cents and shall forward with
the brand so certified fee of so
cents to- the state recorder to paw
for the recording of the same.
ANY stockgrower whose brand
is not recorded desiring to use any
brand on any stock shall make and
sign a certificate setting forth a
facsimile and description of the
brand which he desires to use, and
shall tile the same with the state
recorder, which recorder shall re-
cord the same in book kept bv
him for that purpose, and from
md after the filing of such certif-
cate the stockgrower filing the same
shall have the exclusive right to
Use such brand within the state
such stockgrower, upon fling such
brand, shall pay to the state re-
'order for recording the same a fee
II one dollar. Provided, That the
tate recorder shall not file on record
UGH brand if the same has already
'een hled or recorded by him in
avor OF some other stockgrower. If
ne brand is to be used on sheep
UGH brand shall not be filed for
ecord until after June 1, 1905; and
1t is to be used on other stock not
be filed until after October | 1908

THE WAR.

Admiral Rojestvensky's squad
ron has reached the Far East, and
a great battle with the Japanese
naval force under Admiral Togo
is regarded as imminent, as the
opposing fleets are reported close
together. The Russian vessels
passed Singapore Saturday after
noon without stopping. The
fleet consisted Of six battlcships.
nine cruisers, eight torpedo boat
destroyers three volunteer vessels,
sixteen collicrs, one salvage ship,
one hospital ship, and three Ham
urg-American liners. What the
relative strength of thcRussian and
Japanese squadrous is at this time
a mere conjecture, but it is likely
that the Japanese ships are in bet
ter shape for fighting than the
ships under Rojestvensky, for the
latter has had no opportunity to
clean the bottoms Of his vessels,
while Togo's ships went into dry
dock shortly after the fall of Port
Arthur. St Petersburg is joyous
over the way in which Rojcstvcn-
sky evidently fooled Togo by talk
ing the most direct course to
reach his destination, and thereby
throwing the Japanese admiral off
his guard. 1t is perhaps little
too early for the Russians to place
much store by this, for when the
two forces do meet, they will
likely find that the Japanese have
not been negligent Of their coun-

ron in the Far East. They prob.
ably figure that with a decisive
victory for Roicstvensky, they
would be in much better position
regarding the bringing about O
peace than at present, with nc
battle worth the name during the
entire war to their credit. The
most surprising thing about thi:
naval development is that Roles
tvcnsky actually continued his
Journey until he reached Eal
Eastern waters.

His Third Getaway.

Andrew Jensen, who is charged
with the theft of a wagon from a
sheepman on Camas Prairie, is a
lively chap. He escaped from his
captors on the prairie, broke Jail in
Haley later, and last Saturday
made his third getaway.
Sheriff Williams having got on
his track followed him to near the
Nevada line, south of Hagerman,
and brought him to the railroad.
When he got aboard the cars, the
sheriff kindly consented to take of
the nippers, that the passengers
might not know that the man was
jailbird. When near Gooding,
Sheriff Williams went to get a
drink, and on returning the bird
had flown through the window.
It being night, the sheriff
deemed it useless to stop the train
but as the train was going at least
30 miles an hour, Jensen must have
been badly hurt or he is very
lucky chap.-Hailey Times.

tion of the road. When the road
was completed the State Board Of
Examiners allowed the claims of
the contractors and Mr.. Balnsdall
brought the suit have the action of
the Board reviewed.
The court holds: LAS a general
proposition it may be stated that no
auditing board can. allow claims
contracted in direct violation oflaw,
and when so done its action may
in some way be reviewed; but when
such board is given the power OF
auditing claims, in the absence of
fraud or gross irreeularity, its con
clusions cannot be disturbed.
"The conclusion seems to be that
there is no appeal from the decision
of the board, and the most a court
can do is to so far review its action
as to recommend to the Legislature
a reversal thereof"

Awarded Bronze Medal,

Miss Cora B. Bean, County Su-

ceipt of a handsome ana appro-
priately inscribed bronze medal
from the Lewis & Clark Centen-
NAL Exposition. The medal was
awarded to Canyon county for its
educational exhibit at the Port
land fair. The exhibit consisted
OF case pamphlets and 8 books
and cards showing drawing and
weaving. Miss Bean is greatly
pleased over the award, as she met
with great deal of apathy. not to
say direct opposition among the
teachers in getting up the display,
and some ridiculed the exhibit
after it was gathered together.

General rejoicing in this whole
section resulted from the announce

that all important obstacles had
been removed from the way Of the
Boise-Payette government irriga-
ton project; and that contracts for
the work would be let in February.
The details yet 10 be settled are of
local nature and if there remains
any differences between private land
owners and the government, which
cannot be adjusted in friendly
way, they will be settled in the
courts. The announcement shows
t1at the governments plans have
been greatly broadened. Secretary
Hitchcock has signed the orders for
contracts for constructing the Boise

York canal, its entire length to In
dian Creek; construction Of a canal
from Indian creek to the proposed
Deer Flat reservoir; and the con-
struction of that reservoir.
