ON UNSURVEYED LANDS.
Information OF Much Benefit
to "Squatters".

" 0QOdll0IS
Ern G.. Eagleson, U. S. surveyor
general at Boise, has sent out cir
culars containing instructions for
settlers on unsurveyed lands, set
ting forth the manner in which
surveys may be secured, extracts of
which are as follows:
"Survey of public lands in Idaho
can be secured only by petitions,
supported by af1idavits of residence,
from actual settlers thereon, sent
to this Office for recommendation
to the Honorable Commissioner
of the General Land Office.
"When there are several unsur-
veyed full or fractional townships
in any locality and the settlers
desire survey, petitions should
be filed for all such townships, as
a contract can be let more readily
and economically for the survey of
several adjoining townships than
for isolated ones. Moreover, the
completion Of a survey is thus Sc
cured to the settler at the earliest
possible date.
Surveys of public lands can be
made without cost to the settlers
and all inquiries regarding such
matters will receive prompt atten-
ton. Blank petitions and affida.
Wits will be furnished by this office
upon request

The summary removal of j. b.
West from the Lewiston land Office
cannot fail to meet the approval
of the better class of people in this
district who believe a public office
should be conducted in the interest
of the people and not in the inter-
ests of political party or a few
individuals. Just how many OF
the charges against him are true
we are not in a position 10 know
but the government was undoubt-
eddy pretty thoroughly advised
before taking action in the matter.
Everybody expected him to rush
into print and make sweeping
denial Of the charges but SO did
Mitchell, Williamson, Herman and
the rest of their kind. His frantic
effort to control the actions of his
party should of itself be sufficient
cause for his removal even il there
was nothing else against him. In
the publication of land notices
from his Office he has utterly dis
regarded the law and peddled them
out to his henchmen almost with
out regard to location when the
law specifically provides that they
shall be published in the paper
nearest the land. New papers have
sprung up, and before any substan.
tial circulation could be secured,
were filled with land notices while
established papers were denied the
work. This was particularly notice.
able in paper at Pierce City which
suspended Immediately after the
publication Of the notices. Wheth-
er or not Mr.. West received a COM
mission from such patronage would
be hard to prove but.a fair-mindet
person would naturally suppose
that some remuneration would b
given for these favors when tn,
work rightfully belonged to othe
papers. Be that as it may, it il
gratifying to know that new mar
will soon be at the helm and who
ever it is he may be expected t.
conduct the Office in the interest
of the whole people rather thai
building up political machines.

Some very interesting facts con-
corning the three northwestern
states, Oregon, Washington and
Idaho, were brought to light by the
Lewis and Clair fair. In compar.
ing the resources and productions
of the three states we find that
Idaho is fast making strides to be
the leading Of the three. The total
value of farm products for Idaho
last year was SIS, 051,025. Idaho
produced 1904 97 tons Of hay;
1874, $50 bushels of flax seed; ST..
365, 224 worth of fruit; $50, 451,.
933 worth of precious metals; 49,.
1000 feet of lumber worth $780,.
900; making grand total for the
state of $40, 1S2. In our irri
gated districts, which cost s., $780,
800 to construct the irrigation sys
tenn, enough produce was raised ir
one year to more than pay for thu
cost of construction, namely $54,
44O, 962, which figures show that ir
few years, when the irrigation
projects that are now under way
are finished, they will place Idaho
in the lead of the other northwest
ern states. --Nampa Leader.

and Mr.. Hawley's client remained
in the custody Of the sheriff OF
Boise county, later giving bonds
and gaining his liberty pending
final adjudication of his case in the
supreme court.
Another instance Of an applica-
ton for such a writ was made last
week in case OF the state vs.. S. H.
and s. w. Cottrell. This case was
tried before the district court OF
Bannock county and the defendant
sentenced to the penitentiary.
Attorney J. B. Hawley secured
the signature Of Chief Justice
Stockslager, who happened to be in
the southeastern part of the state,
to certificate of probable cause,
and instead Of the prisoner being
taken to the penitentiary to serve
sentence during the tendency Of an
appeal to the supreme court, he
was remanded to the custody oil
the sheriff and given liberty on
bail.
A case of similar nature occurred
recently in the northern part Of the
state, where Harry Shissler was
sentenced to the penitentiary, but
the trial judge signed a certificate
of probable cause and remanded
the prisoner to the custody of the
sheriff, pending appeal. 1t will be
remembered that while in the
comfy Jail Shissler escaped.
In the Cotterell case from Ban.
mock county the lower court refused
to admit the prisoner to bail, pend
ing appeal, and Attorney Hawley
secured Chief Justice Stockslager'l
signature to certificate Of prob

SUPREME COURT RULES.
Cost of Printing Briefs and
transcripts Limited.

The Supreme court has promul-
gated some new rules of practice
effective Oct, 8. Paragraph l
of rule has been amended so as to
provide that the expense of printing
briefs in the civil cases, which
shall be assessed and allowed as
costs, shall not exceed rs cents per
page. A similar amendment has
been made to paragraph 3 of rule
8, relating to transcripts in civil
actions. Paragraph 3 of rule 6 has
been amended 30 as to provide that
the brief of appellant or plaintiff in
error,in both civil and criminal
cases must be served within ten
days after the filing of the tran
scripts, and the respondent or
defendant in error has 20 days after
such service in which to serve
his brief upon the opposite party,
and in criminal cases tho brief of
the defendant must be served on
the attorney general and the county
attorneys.
An entire new paragraph has
been inserted in rule 81, relating
to transcripts. The new paragraph
reads:
Paragraph 3. Certificate of
probable cause. No application
made to a justice of this court
under section S04S, r. S., for GER
tificate of probable cause will be
considered until the application
has first been made to the judge
who tried the case, or good reason
for a failure to do so shown by afli-
davit, and in such cases the party
intending to apply for certificate
shall give at least five days notice
thereof either upon the county at
torney who tries the case or the
attorney general"
An amendment has also been
made to paragraph 4 OF rule 81,
which now reads as follows:
Each transcript must be pre-
faced with an alphabetical index
referring to the page upon which
each separate paper, order, proceed
ing and testimony OF each witness
commences, and specifying the
first and last number Of the left
margin of the page embracing such
paper, order, proceeding or testi-
mony of witness, thus:

The rules relating to certificates
of probable cause establishes a
rather a new practice in Idaho.
While the law has always made
provision for this practice, yet it is
nevertheless unique to certain
extent in this state. Perhaps the
first application for certificate
of a probable cause in Idaho was
made a couple of years ago in the
state VS.. Cook ct al, in which case
Jesse B. Hawley of Boise, as at
torney for the defendant, applied
to the court for certificate in
order to forestall the execution of a
penitentiary sentence against his
client. The certificate was issued

BAD ELECTION LAWS.

We in Idaho probably have less
to do in the line of reform than our
fellow-citizens of other states find
it necessary to do; but there is
still enough to keep the public
spirited mind alert and busy. At
the top stands the need of revising
the present election laws, enacted
by the first republican legislature
after the fusion reign in this state,
and at that time apparently de-
signed to perpetuate straight party
rule as preferable to mixed party
rule. Fusion, in the sense then
understood, has now ceased to be
factor in Idaho politics, but an
other and better sort of fusion is
apt to be in order almost any day.
But whatever might have been the
provocation for anti-fusion legisla-
tion in the past, there is now no
occasion for continuing the straight
party ticket election law and the
law legalizing party primaries as
now held. Any law recognizing
the mechanical work of the party
oligarchy is bad law, aud Idaho
has in it's code two of the worst.
Chief of these is the law by which
voters have only to recognize the
party emblem in order to deposit
a straight ballot for all the names
ON the ticket. Every representa-
tive citizen will on the other hand
agree that no voter should be per-
mitted to simply vote for a party
emblem, but should be required to
vote for the men coming under
that emblem or some other emblem.
If he desires to vote the ticket
straight, as many do, there is no
impediment in his way, but if he
desires to use reasonable discrim-
ination as to men, and all ought to
do so, he should at least be put on
a par with the mechanical voter.
The lessons of the last election are
sufficiently plain in this regard,
and men who are wise and sound
on public affairs will not ignore
them. Considering other cases and
the results secured 80 far, we are
worse than foolish if we rest con-
tent with a condition that may at
any time saddle upon us the op-
pressions, suppressions and help
lessness that some would commit
us to for all time as other states
and municipalities have been COM
mitted. The time to safeguard the
ballot and defend the state from
corruption and misgovernment is
when there is an administration in
power that does not count on cor
ruption and misgovernment as the
