the attention of State Humane Officer
Schoenfeld. The children, the oldest
of whom is 10 years, and the youngest
eight months, were left by their par

A Hard On, On hanpa.

The Weiser Signal is very much
displeased and gives vent to its dis
pleasure in language sharp and Incl
sive. The Signal is hot at the Ore
gon Short Line which is identifying
its Nampa depot grounds-setting out
flowers plants, shrubs and otherwise
making the depot surroundings look
attractive. The Signal wants to know
why the Short Line can't do little
identifying at Weiser, ''the best town
on the main line west of Pocatello. -
But that is not the chief reason for
complaint, it being merely side is
sue. What the Signal is real hot
about is the hauling of several Car
loads of rich Weiser soil to the Nampa
depot grounds. That is hard one
on the junction city, which, so his
tory records, in its pioneer days en-
acted an ordinance heavily finine
any one who was found guilty of mix
ing fertilizers with his soil, which
was so rich that nothing that could
be added could increase its produc-
tiveness. The fertilizing act was
deemed defamation of the character
of the soil. Weiser really ought tc
feel highly honored, and not bewail
the loss of 10 or IL carloads of bel
rich alluvial deposit. Idaho CITY

CHARGES CORRUPTION
Capital News Claims Collision On
Part Of State Officials 70
Capture Good Lands.
Capital News)


Rotten to the CORE was the
statement of we'll posted individual
yesterday, to a Capital News attache,
made with reference to the actions of
the state land board in disposing of
the Carey act land on the Emmett
bench. Criticism is severe and wide
spread against the board and canal
officials who proved easy marks for
official graft. Nearly 5000 acres of
land was grated upon and the Brady
Gooding official family we're large
benefciaries. A history Of the deal
follows:
The Carey land on the Emmett
bench was to be opened for settlement.
Water applications we're made and
contracts signed by quite number.
Officers of the land board said: ''No,
we must be let in on this, or we will
dispose Of the land by lot, and you
will have to take your chances along
with the rest of the applicants. p" The
canal people we're thus dubbed into
terms. They cancelled the old con
tracts, and members of Governor
Goodings' official family we're pro-
vided with the best land in the tract.
Miss Scott, state superintendent, was
provided with choice quarter; Miss
Chamberlain, her deputy, takes 9
tract in the name of her mother.
Governor Gooding's private secretary
is given quarter section. State En-
gineer James Stephenson Jr., is
awarded a quarter section and Register
Mcconnell, more considerate of thu
proprieties, takes his quarter in tn,
name of another party. 1t is openl,
charged about the state house tina
another member of the land board ha
100 acres which he fled upon in tn
name of dummy.
An officer not in full accord wit
the Brady Gooding combine, informe'
1.-THE Capital News that he was Offered
a chance to get in on the deal, but b
refused it, saying it was too palpabl
rotten for him. The Canyon cana
officers were so anxious to provid
lands for all the members of their ow
families, that every behest of the Ian
board was acceded to.
The advertised opening of the land
for settlement proved farce. Pee
pie who came in good faith to take
chance were made monkeys of, as tn
: land, nearly 5000 acres, had alread
been parceled out between the cana
officers and relatives on the one han
and the state land board and followei
on the other.
Rules made by the board to COVER
such matters we're broken and violate
by the members themselves, in orde
that the public might be misled an
the grafters of the administrator
might better improve their inside OF
portunity to gobble all in sight.
The best of the land is ready sal
on assignment at the rate of $500
per 80. A quarter should brin
$4,000 cash. Thus it will be seen til
board has made good thing out I
it. There are others interested WI
t have not been named in this article
Their names with further details I
the conspiracy will be given later.

No h0RE RID TApf
f0h IhD|Ah War PENSIONS
hsr Commissioner Requires Sur
ViVoT5 70 Prove Identity and
% Days Service.

A special from Washington of May
4th says:
Three years ago congress passed a
law to pension the survivors of the
early Indian wars in the Pacific north
west. 1t fixed uniform rate of So
a month, and required only proof of
30 days. service in some one of the
companies that participated in those
wars. During the entire three years
that this law has been on the statute
books many pensions have been al
lowed, but still greater number have
been disallowed for one cause or an
other. There has been vast amount
of red tape In the enforcement of that
law.
Because of the advanced years of
the men who served in these wars, and
the long time that has elapsed since
the close of the conflict with the In
dians, congress made the Indian war
act liberal in its terms, and required
but little proof, intending to facili
tate the issuance Of pensions to de-
serving veterans. In spite of this,
the pension office has been placing
all sorts of obstacles in the way, re-
jecting claims on various technical
grounds, and requiring all sorts Of
impossible proof.
From time to time the attention of
the SECRETARY of the interior was
called to this manner of enforcing
the law, and he has repeatedly in
structed the pension Office to carry
out the spirit rather than the exact
letter of the law. But somehow the
secretary's instructions have usually
been disregarded, and the same red
tape methods persisted in until now.
Vespatian Warner, the new COM
missioner of pensions, is very prac-
tical and a very independent man.
One of the first things he learned
was that friction existed between his
Office and the secretary of the int
rior. He determined 70 put a stop tc
it. and has worked some very radical
reforms. Among these reforms is
change in the manner of allowing In
dian war pension claims filed by re-
sidents of Washington, Idaho anc
Oregon.
In times past, where claimants
were required not only to show ~
days. service, but to prove in add
tion that they had been paid for thell
services by the United States, the!
now have to show only the service To-
one month. And what Is equally i'm
portant, the new commissioner accepts
less proof of service than was de
manded under Commissioner Ware.
There are rolls on file in the wa
department, either originals or Ger
tificates, giving the names of all thos
who served in the northwestern lndial
wars. If those rolls show 30 days
service or more, and man estao
fishes his identity, that is enough u
get him pension.
This new order of things is VIVA
congress intended. Most OF the sur
vivors of the Indian wars are YER
aged men they can enjoy pension
Init a few years at the utmost an
thanks TO the reforms OF Commits
sioner Warner, those who are deser'
Ing. but who we're unable to get pen
siops through Commissioner Ware

SILVER CITY TO GET
STRAIGHT PASSENGER TRAIN
SERVICE COMMENCING NoVEM-
Der 1-RESULT OF GENERAL
MANAGER HURLEY'S VISIT.

The long-expected has happened.
Silver City has a straight passenger
train service, commencing November
l.. The decision of the company to
put on a new service Is said to date
from General Manager Hurley's visit
to>this city last Sunday, says the En-
terprise. Mr.. Hurley and a party OF
prominent Santa Fe officials arrived
in the city last Sunday morning on a
special train of three cars. They
were to have arrived Friday, but were
delayed en- route. The party remain
ed in the city but a short time. On
the return Mr.. Hurley had a chance to
see Sundays train coming up,
weighted down with five or six freight
cars, and he is reported to have re-
marked at the poor service which was
plainly evident to all of the officials,
and the result was, in short, a de-
cision to establish better service the
first of the coming month. The freight
shipments into Silver City are heavy,
and have been for the past two
months. Moreover, they are constantly
on the increase, and the service, in
stead of getting better, has been get
ting worse. To handle the freight
properly an extra train for that pur-
pose has been needed for some time.
The shipments of the Comanche COM
pany, alone, so it is learned from an
authoritative source, aggregate nearly
as much in tonnage as all the other
shipments to Silver City combined.
If this be true, the freight shipments
into Silver City have doubled them
selves in tonnage within the last year
and it is high time that the Santa Fe
was making good on better passenger
service.

MIKE o'sHEA AND

Since the death of Mike O'Shea, a

some of his wit.

one day to fail to make time with his
train. He committed the most heinous
of all crimes in the railroad calendar

General Manager Martin sent a tele.
gram TO O'Shea, calling to account.
Here is O'Shea's reply, sent in by
wire:

The coal was bad and full of slate

reply when he was invited to take a

ALL STEEL CARS FOR
PASSENGER TRAFFIC.

Within the mex few years the great
est changes in railroad equipment in
this country will be, we believe, to-
wards steel cars for passenger service,
says the Railway Journal in its cur
rent issue. The many recent wrecks
on steam roads has forced the railway
arrangements to thinking seriously of
a better and more substantial car to
Withstand the shock in Ease of wreck,
collisions and other accidents. Records
show that most of the losses of life
in collisions are due to cars being
~telescoped and then subsequently
burned. In most every practical point
from which this subject can be view
ed, the all-steel passenger car should
prove superior to the wooden coach.
and its practical assurance of safety
to the passengers should make it a
popular one with the travelling public.
