Trouble Over Survey.

Where the survey OF the north half
of township 40 in range 3 west was
made three years ago joins the old sur
vey in the middle Of the township, the
stakes set by the different parties do
not correspond. Some of the old
stakes have been destroyed by fire or
by vandals, and though the settlers
south of the line which marks the
middle of the township know about
where the old stakes were, the exact
cannot be determined. If the old
corners can not be established the set
tiers will have to go by the stakes Of
the new survey, md by so doing com
plications will arise over timber that
has been cut along the eastern OF
western boundary lines of the settler
claims.

STAND PAT.

The News desires to come out plain
ly and add any influence it may have to
the encouragement of those members
OF our state Legislature who have mani
tested sufficient earnestness and
honesty to take stand in behalf Of
decent legislation. For four years or
more Idaho has wasted her energy and
suffered much bitterness because of
alleged immoral practices by the Nor
man people. Is it possible, after all,
that the Mormons are guilty, and that
the proposed legislation supported by
the insurgents will catch them?
If not, then why thu objection to the
proposed moral laws? But the very
fact that those who have been accused
are opposed to the passage of laws
that will efe ctuil y cover the alleged
moral crimes leafs US to look with
much suspicion upon their presumed
innocence, and the News hopes the
proposed laws will be written on our
statute books and this vexed question
forever settled. If innocent it can
not reach single member of the Nor
mon church; but if these people are
guilty it will and should reach them
with sickening thud. The News de-
sires to pat the insurgents on the
back and assure every one of them
that their manly course is a credit and
an honor to themselves and their state.
Let no man waver al the critical hour,
and like a whipped cur criuge and
crawl at the feet of would-be party
bosses. Stand pat.

Mrs. Rhoda Brock.

The remains of Mrs. Rhoda Brock
arrived in Troy Tuesday morning from
Yates Center, Kansas, for interrment
by the side of her husband in the Bear
Ridge cemetery. Old age was the
cause of her death. Mr.. and Mrs.
Brock came to Idaho in 1884, settling
on Bear Ridge, where Mr.. Brock died
in 1892. Since her husbands death
Mrs. Brock made three trips to Kansas,
the last being about 10 months ago.
She was a consistent Christian, and had
been worker in the M. E. church
since childhood. Joseph Brock, son
who lives in Peck, Idaho, and Mrs.
Amanda Baker, daughter who with
her husband accompanied the remains
from Kansas, were present at the
funeral. Rev. ]. G. Carrick officiated.
The many friends extend their heart
felt sympathies to the bereaved family.

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.

Mr.. Bryan, now the accredited
leader OF the Democratic party, has
come out for government ownership of
railroads. Now if the government
ownership idea is correct and practic-
able, then will some good democrat
explain why the same theory will not
work in regard to the digging Of the
Panama Canal. Why should the work
be done by contract? Yet, here we
find democratic paper, and sup
porter of Mr.. Bryan, the Dubuque,
Iowa. Telegraph Herald, giving voice to
the following arraignment of the Bryan
theory Of government ownership:
The Panama canal commission is dis
posed to let the construction of the
canal by contract to responsible firm
which has placed its bid on file. Much
influence will be brought to bear on
the commission to have the work go on
as it has been, by congressman and
senators who want the opportunity to
place constituents on the payroll OF
the federal government. The commits
sion, owing its appointment to the
president, recognizes in his, the MASTER
voice; and since II is Mr.. Roosevelt S
desire to have the work finished as
quickly and as economically as possible,
it is highly probable that the contract
ors will be given a chance.
The construction company agrees to
complete the task within the appro-
priation of $15O,0OO,0OO, and to
accept for its services CTS per cent
OF the actual cost of the work yet to be
done, or about nine million dollars.
The government will furnish the plans
OF work, guaranteeing their practical
bility, and all machinery and supplies.
II will undertake to supply a sufficient

No attempt has ever been made to
defend the present mine taxation law Of
this state, yet there is no one so blind
as to pretend it is fair and just. Then
why is no effort being made to
modify the system that it may meet
the demands Of justice? Why is there
no effort to rectify tax system that is
nothing but monstrous crime-an out
rage against every farmer, every mer-
chant and every honest taxpayer in
the state? The producing mines of
Idaho are not entitled to special legis-
lation, nor is there any reason why prop
erty that pays handsome dividends
should receive bonus at the expense OF
other lines of industry. Our mines are
able 70 pay, and the law should
make them pay in proportion as 9TH
er property owners pay. The present
Legislature will not perform its whole
duty if it ignores this matter.

1t is not the desire of this paper to
NEEDLE with anybody's private family
affairs, but we do believe that a few
general remarks occasioned by a par
ticular case which has come under our
notice for some time will not be i'm
pertinent. We know that it will re-
lieve our minds and at the same time
be an expression of the Utmost thoughts
of all who know what we are talking a
bout. 1t is a natural law of humanity
and is expected the world over that
children shall at all times treat their
parents with proper respect, especially
when the latter become too old to
labor for their own support. On the
other hand it is unnatural for family,
who apparently have plenty of this
worlds goods, to cast out of the family,
with no reasonable motive, one mem
Der and compel that member to de-
pend upon public charity for sub
sistence. Even were it impossible for
the family all to dwell together in
reasonable harmony such action could
not be excused. When grey hairs are
forced from under the roof that should
be their haven Of rest during the days
preceding the call to the great un-
known and compelled to become OBJ
jects Of charity something must be
wrong somewhere. Virtue must be
lacking in somebody. AT any rate it
will be we'll to remember the old max

lished to be disregarded, that as we

COUNTY PRINTING.

Regarding county printing the
Genesee News says:
The News feels highly compli-
mented upon receiving a renewal of its
contract with Latah county, by the
new board OF county commissioners, to
supply all Office supplies during the
coming year. The supplies furnished
in the past, and the price, have been
entirely satisfactory. The Troy News,
which during the past year has saved
the taxpayers large amount of money
in publishing proceedings Of the board
has also been granted arenewal Of con-
tract"
The Genesee News has stated the
case none to strongly. Not only has
Brother Powers supplied the county
with job work at a very low figures but
has given the county nothing but the
very highest grade of material and
stock. The quality of paper used will
bear close inspection. AS to the print
ing done by the Troy News we have
no apology to offer, for the work has
been done at price that barely covers
the cost Of setting up type. Altogether
the county has saved a nice sum during
the past year on its county printing,
and we believe the taxpayers will be
pleased to know that the same low
prices will prevail during 1907.

ly large number OF laborers, whom it
will board, and whose conditions Of en-
ployment it shall have the right to de-
termine. The contractors on their part
will pay the laborers, the government
paying the contractors in installments
as the work is completed.
The government will penalize the
failure of the contractors to finish the
task within what shall be written in the
contract as a reasonable time, with
heavy fines, and also a saving in the
estimated cost with liberal bonuses.
The contractors are thus encouraged to
complete their task as quickly and as
cheaply as possible.
1t would be well if the commission
should let the work by contract to a
single firm OF bidders. Immediately
the strangling mesh Of red tape would
fall and sinecurists vacate before the
coming OF energetic, able men owing
their employment to their ability, rather
than to political influence. The aim
under the contract arrangement would
not be as at present to consume time
in doing as little as possible, but to
save time by doing as much as pos
sible.
Starting with the contract system,
the commission will start right.
