ont that most Of the shippers who

from poiuts where the special defer

might be difilcult to prove, there will
naturally be a suspicion that shippers

doubt the creation Of Clark county
and thetremoyal Of the county seat
from Rathdrum to the city Of Cnur-
d. Alene. s. fs N @ .a'Fs .
| Those facts are matters Of com
mon knowledge. One Of the CHIEF
inducements to the passage Of said
act was the abolishment Of Kootenai
county and the creation Of Clark
county with the removal ofthe com-
ty seat. That feature Of the bill was
the main inducement for its passage.
The act under consideration was
approved by the governor on the
18th day Of February, 1905, and
contained the emergency clause, and
hence became law, If ever, on that
day. AS the first section abolished
kootenai county if the act is valid,
the people of that county we're with
out county government from the 28
day Of February tot the 9TH day Of
March, 1905, when the officers APP
pointed by the governor qualified.
Said act did not provide that the
officers Of Kootenai county should
continue in Office until their success
ors were appointed and qualified,
and if the act be held valid the peo-
pie Of that county we're without
county government for number Of
days. The legislature cannot de
prive the people Of any county Of
such local or self-government as the
several counties of the state are en-
titled to under the constitution. If
they can deprive people of local
government for six days, they may
do so for six months or six years.
The legislature is prohibited from de-
priving the people Of any county Of
local self-government. -# tt

LIEU LAND LAW
Was Repealed March 8, by Con.
gresS,

Secretary Hitchcock, in a circular
issued to registers and receivers of
local land offices, holds that congress
meant what it said when by the act
Of March 3, 1905, IL absolutely re-,
pealed the lieu land law.
With the exception Of owners Ct
certain lands in the San Francisco
and Grand Canyon reserves, in Art
zona, and the Santa Barbara reserve,
California, which are specifically pro-
vided for by special act, the secre-.
tary holds that all right to make lieu
selections expired March 8 last, and
local land officers are advised that
they are without authority to accept
relinquishment Of lands within forest
reserves after that date and allow the
selection OF other lands in exchange
therefor. The secretary says, how
ever, that all lieu selections made
prior to and pending for adjudication
on March 3, 1905, may lie perfected.
The repeating act makes no provi-
sion for cases where lands within for
est reserves may have been reconveyed
to the United States, but no select
ions may be made in lieu thereof
where such selections, IL made, were
finally rejected and Cancelled prior to
March 3, 1905. There Is now no law
authorizing selections In lieu of such
relinquished tracts.
This last paragraph means that, II
any persons unaware that the lieu
land law has been repealed have re-
linqulshed forest reserve lands to the
government subsequent to March 8,
they will not only be denied the right
to select lands in exchange for those
relinQuished, but will be unable to
recover their original holdings.

PREHISTORIC REMAINS.
Remarkable Discovery of Bones
ts.A on Snake River. aa.s s,

A remarkable find OF prehistoric
animal remains has been made where
the government is building dam in
the Snake river near Minldoka for
reclamation purposes. In excavat-
ing diversion channel, the engineers
have cut through 12 feet OF lava.
Below this is bed Of sand from six
to eight feet thick and below that
another lava How. The bones are In
the sand. In space 25 feet square
four species were met with. The
skull OF horned animal was found,
the horns spreading six feet from tip
to tip. While being removed the
skull crumbled, but the horns are
perfect. They resemble those Of the
musk OK. a tusk like that Of an
elephant has been taken out that is
36 inches long. Another flnd is a
lower jaw resembling the jaw of a
horse. 1t is perfectly preserved and
is about the size OF the jaw OF fully
developed horse. +. G. Horn. the
engineer in charge, has sent some OF
the specimens to Washington. He
has been informed that it has been
impossible to classify some Of them.
The fnd promises to be OF much
scientific value.

Bearmouth Episode
Robbers Failed.

The North Coast Limited, east.
bound was held up at Bearmoath, a
point 40 miles east Of Missoula, Mont,
last Saturday night at 1896, by

blew open the safe with dynamite
and wrecked the express car. One of
the robbers entered the car and while
he was reaching into the safe for a
sack OF coin, the express messenger
felled him to the floor with a piece OF
iron. The other two robbers fed
securing no booty. The railroad
company rewarded the messenger and
engineer with $1,000 each. The In
iured rohber remained unconscious

Governments Offer to Be Accepted.
1t is reported that the ranchers of the
valley of the Walker River are prepar-
ing to take advantage of an offer made
by the Government to spend 5000. 900 in
storing the waters of the Walker River
for irrigation purposes. The condition
of the proposal is that the ranchers
shall cede to the Government all of
their water rights and agree to accept
in return all the water needed for 100
acres each and no more. The purpose
of this is to prevent large land owners
from monopolizing the Governments
work. The concession to the people
was secured through Engineer L. H.
Taylor who went to Washington re-

SPELL is A NEW GRAIN.
Said to Be Peculiarly Adapted to Arid
Countries, Stands Drought Well.

Farmers who would like to expert
ment with the cultivation in Nevada of
the new grain known as spelz are re-
minded that the time for sowing it is
now at hand.
This grain is a native of Russia, in
which country it is used both for bread
making purposes and as feed for all
kinds of stock. 1t is said TO be peculi.
arly adapted tt arid countries, and
stands drought remarkably well. 1t
has been successfully cultivated in
South Dakota, Kansas, Nebraska, Cali
~fornia, Colorado and Canada.
]. L. Walter Of Rising City, Neb.,
who has been one Of its successful Guilt
~vators, and who is very enthusiastic in
its praise, claims that he has raised
from 10 to Is bushels more per acre of
this grain than he has been able to
obtain from oats and wheat, and that
it sells, at the elevators in Nebraska,
for about 5 cents per bushel more than
those grains.
