A Democratic HolIer.

First, the extravaganza referred
to most persistently is that the
state land,board has used up their
appropriation and ls issuing de-
ticiency warrants to carry on the
work of that department, not

dartment Of the state government.
The kickers neglect to state that
all the moneys received have to
be turned into the treasury, and
cannot be used or drawn upen
until the legislature meets and APP
propriates ii. The business Of
the land board is growing very
rapidly and has assumed the pro
portions Of big banking business,
hence the deficiency warrants.
AS to the change of venue, it is
intended for trying polvgamists

lies the fact that Blackfoot could

tunities. The office of the cana
company which is doing an i'm.
mense amount of construction
work across the river, was al
Blackfoot, but was removed te
Pocatello chiefly because Of the
knockers here and the lack Of sup
port which the business ner
might and ought to have given
them. BY this we do not mean
q bonus nor donations, but an
other kind Of support.
That company spent much mon.
ey advertising the resources OF
this locality among eastern home
seekers for the purpose Of getting
men here to see their land and
canal system. Some OF them
bought land Of the company and
Others bought Of other people,
while others listened to the voice
of the knockers who would ap
proach them on the quiet and tell
them in a most fraternal manner
that the Carey Lands were with
out water rights, that the canal
would never have any water In it
except during the spring freshets,
that it was built across lava beds
and would never hold water; that
the whole system was a fraud and
designed to swindle men out Of
their money.
Such advice frequently. drove
prospective purchasers away, or
enabled the knockers to sell some
thing among the old farms where
the results Of farming could be
plainly seen. Tie company grew
tired of this thing, and tried to
show the home people that they
had an old and valid right, that
they were securing reservoir rights
at jackson Lake, and that the
canal would be made to carry
water without leaking, but
people manifested no particular
interest in the project, notwi,h-
standing it was bringing an i'm
mense amount Of trade to Black
foot. The Republican frequently
published articles to show what
was being dane to develop vast
settlement across the river, and
tried for year to get CONNER

the knockers could have been eff

The Graduate.

We are prone 10 poke good deal of fun in one way or another at the new laid graduate, but be doesn't mind it, knowing in his superior way that 1t is all prompted by jealousy, and per haps part of it is.
 For who can help but envy in his secret soul the young man who knows all of the latest slang of the day in addition to some of the useful branches and who can do things better in his mind than the fellows who have been doing them for fifty years?
 Of course he is billed for a number of jars, but other people who never went to school have them. and he soon finds his place, and before long he be- gins to make those who wasted the precious hours of youth sit up and no tice as he flies past them.
 Of course we are speaking now of the man graduate. As to the coed, we'll, she does not need guide book to find her way through life.

The Saucy Summer Girl She's piquant and pretty, She's clever and witty, She's modest and simple and chaste; Tiptilted her nose is,
 As sweet as the rose is The girl in the peekaboo waist. Her costume, though stunning, Is what call cunning And quite in the height of good taste, But still she is chilly
 And says l am silly To dote on the peekaboo waist. l swear I will leave her And hope thus to grieve her, But never a tear have traced. She says there are others Who aren't quite brothers, And peekaboo won't go to waste. >

HAVING GREAT OLD TIME.

Some Grand Junction gentlemen
who have been camping on the Gun
nison certainly have enjoved camp
life to the very fullest extent accord
ing TO the following item taken from
the Hotchltiss Herald
"Over on the Gunnison river there
is a camp and five prominent men of
Grand Junction, all Ellis, with long
horns, trying to recover from the
good time which they had while in
Denver. are in charge of the outfit.
They are all fiishermen(?) and are
landing the Post prize about every
other day. The camp is located at
mile post 30S and the guardian of
the place is w. II. Richards. who has
reputation of telling fish stories
that will eclipse anything ever heard.
I'VE happened onto the camp last
Saturday and were treated to every
thing that was needed in way of re
freshments, both solid and liquid.
But talk about camping out. those
fellows are having the time of their
lives, not barring the convention at
Denver. Every train brings sup
plies and they are living like princes.
"The prominent attaches of the
camp are G. II. Peters. T. j. Gowling
j. e. Gowling, b. c. Clary, Sheriff w
G. Struthers and b. S. Richards. Or
son Adams is a regular week end visi-

are needed A cordial invitation is
extended to all long-horned Elks to
visit the camp"

cidents that has happened on the Rio
Grande Southern in a long period
Conductor Brown was in charge of a
two engine freight train on Saturday
en- route from Rico to Ridgway. The
train was passing over a high tres
tie on the south side of Lizard head
which spans a deep ravine and is
about 200 feet long and about 50 feet
above the ground. The two engines
and the first car had passed safely
over when all of sudden the trestle
collapsed and the remainder of the
freight cars and the caboose fell
through the trestle. Conductor
Brown was in the caboose and went
down with It. Brakemen Nichols and
1 Gibbs were on top of one of the cars
and they jumped. Nichols back is
thought to be broken and Gibbs was
/ painfully injured.
The cars that went into the gulch
were literally smashed to pieces and

wreckage suffering terribly and lived
only one hour. 1t will take several
days to even temporarily repair the
