FEW PLUMS FOR
FEDERAL JUDGE
Not Many Fat Jobs Are at

There have been some inquiries as
to what patronage the federal Judge
may have, the question being raised
by the resignation of Judge Beatty and
the appointment of his successor
Practically no patronage is at the dis
posal of the federal judge. He has the
appointment of his own private stem
ographer, but as the government does
not believe in too high salaries for
this class of work the appointment is
not of extreme value. He can appoint
his own district court clerk, which
however is of little value, as the work
is almost all done by the clerk of the

GIVES HANNAH
A BIG BOOST
A. Girardelly Writes Letter
Back to Iowa About
the Valley

A. Girardelly, who recently went to
Kamiah from Iowa and purchased
property there, sent letter back to
his home paper In which he spoke very
we'll of Kamiah and it's surroundings.
He said in part:
CAS- we promised to write some of
our friends through the Times, we will
make our promise good. So far as we
have seen in this country we are we'll
pleased. This is nice valley for fruit
and all kinds of vegetables, and the
spring is early. The people are now
blowing and putting in their gardens.
There has been very little wind since
we came here.
Describes the Valley.
1.-THE Kamiah valley lies way down
in a deep canyon and the winds sell
dom get down to it. Some mornings
we could see the snow up in the hills,
and down in the valley it was nice and
warR and dry.
This is no place for extensive farm
ing, the land lying in little spots and
flats, but 1t is an ideal place for a
home. The wheat lands lie up on the
prairies above the valley, somewhere
about 1900 feet above, and the soil
cannot be excelled.
"The wheat runs from 35 to so
bushels to the acre and fall grain yields
a great deal heavier than spring grain.
Oats run from 20 to so bushels and are
better crop than wheat. Barley goes
and the price runs per quarter section
from $4,000 to 100000
Most anything can be raised in the
valley. All kinds of fruit, grapes,
corn, tobacco, etc. Kamiah is a small
town and most of the surrounding
land is owned by Indians. They are
well educated and nearly all of them
are church members, and they have
two good churches here.
"Kamiah is situated $50 miles south
east of Spokane and a railroad runs
| through the valley. Crops here in the
valley stand the dry weather extreme
ly WELL Some alfalfa was raised here
last summer that measured six feet in
height. and another piece yielded two
and a half tons per acre at one cut
ting the first seeding.
There is lots of timber In this coun-
try. Lumber sells for $13 per humid
red feet and good cedar posts are worth
six cents each.
Country Practically UndeveIoped
1.-THE country is practically unde-
veloped and there are many oppor-
tunities here yet. Hogs sell for six
and half cents per pound on foot.
Dressed meat sells from s to Is
cents a pound There is not much
difference in the cost of living between
this place and Iowa.
1--WE went up to the prairie one day
to see George Christianson, and he has
a fine ranch and is getting along good.
He dug some potatoes out of a neigh
| boris garden that had been out all win
ter and they were not frozen at all.
"The ground here seldom freezes.
and 1t is not uncommon for farmers
to leave vegetables in the fround all
winter and dig them in the spring.
No Cyclone Cellars.
'There are no cyclones or billiards
here and down In the valley snow sell
| dom ever falls to stay.
1.-THE Indians have made this their
winter home for years, and "Kamiah"
is an Indian word. meaning winter
resort"

ROCKVILLE.

A new survey in this city for the
Rockville and Stafford Springs trolley
has been made. The route selected
is from the terminus of the Hartford
and Manchester the usual route up
Park street, School, Prospect and
East Main street to a point at the
corner of the property OF Ernest F.
Ransom and L. O. King, where it
leaves the highway and crosses the
King property, quitting through the
house occupied by W. Frank Fay and
Frank Kelley, thence across the old
Farrell place, to the Jones property
on Snipsic street, quitting through the
Jones residence, thence across Snipsic
street to the land Of the Minterburn
Mills company, crossing same back of
the mill buildings, between the aque-
duct dam and that of the Minterburn
company. This seems to be the most
direct route possible and with little
grade. Options have been obtained
on the properties.

COVENTRY.

John Day, Arthur Squires and Dan
lei Young, three young men of South
Coventry, we're taken into the custody
of Deputy Sheriff Hutchinson of Co.
lumbia Monday morning and brought
before Justice of the Peace Andrew
Kingsbury of Coventry on the charge
of simple assault. They pleaded
guilty and were fined $13 so each,
including costs. They were charged
with assaulting Solomon Haddad, a
young Assyrian peddler at the station
in South Coventry last Thursday
night, who was pushed against the
side of the depot SO that he struck
his head, sustaining conoussion of the
brain. It il reported that he is on
the road to recovery.
The identity of the man found dead
on the Coleman place at South Coven-
try some time ago has been explained
by q nephew and sister residing in
Manchester to be that of Frank Heck,
so years Old q Canadian woodchop-
per. The sister and nephew called on
Selectman Reynolds of Coventry this
week, and from the description given
them they state positively that he was
the man. Heck, who in January was
working Ia Ashford, left the lumber
eamp.on the Goth and was seen in
Coventry a few days later. It is
presumed he was walking from Ash
ford to Manchester to visit his sister.
He was found in the hay of the Cole
man barn and had been dead several
weeks, death resulting from freezing,
For the present at least his body will
be left at Nathan Hale cemetery.

Legislative Notes.

The senate last week unanimously
passed the resolution validating the
marriage of Ollie 7. Huntoon to
James G. Billings of Somers. Sew.
eral senators took occasion to express
their contempt for Billings. Sena-
tor Blakeslee of New Haven was of
the opinion that Billings should be
tarred and feathered. Senator Archi-
bald Mcneil of Bridgeport announced
that he never voted for bill with so
much satisfaction. Senator Walsh
said that there was not another man
in Connecticut except James g. Bill
lings who would act so meanly toward
a woman. The aye" response was
not the usual faint affirmation on a
matter on which there is no opposi-
tion, but when the question was put
there was strong, healthy chorus in
the affirmative.
On Wednesday the house passed the
bill amending an act concerning the
support of schools. 1t gives special
nAA W bOWhS WIN o SAnAu 4A6O "a
81, 900, 900 or less, raising the pres
emit limit from $500, 900. The bill
gives towns included within this linn
it $25 yearly from the state for each
child between the ages of 4 and Is
years. On Thursday the house re-
considered the measure and it was re-
ferred to the appropriation committee.
Yesterday the petition for amend
ment of the charter of the Stafford
Springs Electric Light and Gas comp
any was reported favorably by the
committee.
The house passed the bill increasing
from six to seven inches the minimum
length of trout which can be legally
,aught. The bill was reported un-
'avorably by the committee.
