ern Minnesota.
F.. A. Crook. of Rugby. was a Wis
itor in Grand Forks yesterday enroute
home from Duluth, Ackley and other
points in northern Minnesota. Mr..
Crook is one of Rugbys substantial
citizens. Some three weeks ago he
shipped two carloads of work horses
from Rugby to the lumber camps in
the neighborhood of Ackley.
The two cars contained 50 head of
work horses which were hired to the
lumbermen at $50 month per team.
This includes board and care and the
expenses of shipping both ways. The
farmers who own the horses make a
neat sum in this manner over and
above the keep of the animals. The
horses are we'll cared for and we'll fed.
Mr.. Crook says that there is much
demand for both horses and men in
the woods this winter. The warm
weather nor the heavy fall of snow
has not interfered materially with the
logging. The ice on the lakes is be-
coming rotten, and last Friday he
nearly lost eight head of his horses
by the ice breaking. The sleigh caught
on a long log and enabled the men
to keep the horses from sinking until
the harness could be cut free.

Long Valley felt IL Also.

Geo. NJ. Snow arrived home Thursday
from ThunderboIt Mountain, where he
went on a trip of inspection to the i'm
portant mining properties under his
management. He reports everything
try. Thirty-five men are now on the
pay roll, 25 OF 20 at the mine and the re-
mainder at the mill. The mill was closed
down when Mr.. Snow left, for repairs.
and was running again the 10th of this
month. There is an abundance Of water
for mill purposes. 1t is expected to get
the saw mill started by the last of this
month, just as soon as the logs can be
obtained.
Mr.. Snow states that spring is open
ing up fine in that section. The snow is
going off except on the SUBMITS. The
roads are in bad condition for freight
ing, especially on Squaw Greek hill, and
if not repaired Will interfere with
freighting to great extent. Water in
in the creeks is lower now than for ten
days, and the Payette river had fallen
foot between the time Mr.. Snow went
in and came out. Loggers will have to
use the dam to get logs to the saw
mills. No stream is running over its
banks, which is something UNUSUAL a
this time OF the year.
An interesting statement made by
MIR. Snow is that an earthquake shock
was felt in Long Valley two weeks ago
Monday 1t was felt especially at Thun-
der City, where the ground trembled
quite severely. The shock opened up
two hot springs in that vicinity which
had never been heard OF betore.-Nam-

TO RAISE $4,000
Monte B. ewInn wants that
Amount to Entertain IrrI-
gatIon Congress. All
Should help out.

Twenty-Five thousand dollars for the
Irrigation congress
That IL the goal that has been set by
Monte b. Gwinn, chairman of the exc
cutive committee of the congress, who,
as Boise's representative in the list of
officials Of the organization, has charge
OF the laying Of the plans for the meet
ing.
1t is regarded az necessary to raise
approximately that amount in order to
properly care for the delegates to the
congress, who will come from far and
wide to meet IN Boise in September.
Anything short OF proper reception, it
is pointed out, would result in an injury
10 Boise and to Idaho, instead Of a bene-
| fit.
"If We raise less than about $25, 900, +"
says the Boise promoters of the con-
gress, "the whole affair will simply be a
detriment to the city; the degree OF
detriment will depend on how much less
than the requisite amount is raised.'
1t is proposed to secure an appro-
priation from each county in the state,
and from every city in southern Idaho
as we'll. All the irrigation companies
will be asked to contribute according to
their means and the benefit to be deriv-
ed, the five sugar factories of the state
will be asked for funds, and all other in
dustries which will be benefited by the
holding OF the congress in the Gem
state will be called upon for contribu-
tions.
In recent lettrs to Chairman Gwinn
Fred j. Keisel Of Ogden, who was chair
man of the executive committee three
years ago, planning for the eleventh
session of the congress that was held
that year in Ogden, spoke of the bene-
fits of the congress as follows:
"The Ogden session Of the National
Irrigation congress was the most
profitable investment ever made by
any state. Its result was to add fully
$25 an acre to the irrigable lands of the
state. 1t was the means of starting an
era of industrial development and
growth in every section of the state
which still continues and served to
place Utah in the first rank of irrigated
states.
We raised s2l 900 in Ogden and
throughout the state, and could we
secure another session of the congress
we would gladly undertake to raise
double the amount in entertaining the
delegates that would come to visit our
city.
''Boise and the state of Idaho cannot
do too much for the coming congress.
and those who contribute to its sue
cess will find it the best investment
they ever made. Idaho Daily States

Made.

A. b. CA drafted man or his sub
stitute, who was enrolled to serve three
years and who served not less than two
years. or was discharged by reason OF
wounds received in line OF duty before
two years service, Is entitled to $100
bounty under the act Of March 3, 1853.
b. F. L.. Bancroft, Iowa.--If you are
now in receipt OF a pension Of $50 per
month for disease contracted in service.
and you are not so disabled as to require
the frequent and periodical attendance
OF another person, II Is doubtful wheth-
er you will be successful with your
claim. The attendance that you appear
to require is merely precautionary.
which does not bring you, as we under
stand your case, within the purvfeW OF
the act OF July II. 1892.
~Adjutant. New York.-Question: At
our Post meeting last evening there was
a novel pension case under discussion.
and as there was such diversity OF
opinions. l was requested to ask The
National Tribune TO set us right. One
OF our comrades is pensioned at $40 per
month, under the old law, for loss Of
toes OF right foot. Recently. in moving
a building. his leg was injured SO that
1t was necessary 60 amputate his leg
just below the knee. Now, some con-
tend that as our comrade has lost his
disabled foot, he is no longer entitled to
his pension, for the reason that his dis
ability has ceased to exist. Others con-
tend that the loss Of his foot makes no
difference. and that he is entitled to his
pension just the same as though he had
not lost his foot Set us right.
Answer.-The comrade will not be
deprived Of his pension on account of
the amputation of his injured foot. We
would suggest that he file an applica-
ton for pension under the act OF June
81. 1890, as he is in all probability now
entitled to $12 per month under that
act, provided the loss Of his leg was not
the result Of vicious habits.
