state court, who is appointed by the
circuit judge living at San Francisco.
BY courtesy the district clerk is usually
the same as the state court clerk as it
alone is not worth the holding.
Names U. S. Commissioners.
The judge has the appointment of
the United States commissioners, who
take dispositions in places where the
court itself cannot go. There are sew
eral of these through the state, but
they are not of great value; possibly
$50 a month would be a high average
for the position. The commissioners
get their pay from fees, not from d.
rect salary They are appointed for
four years and do not change with the
judgeship.
Referees in bankruptcy are about the
last of the judges appointees. There
are several of these scattered through
the state. but the position pays so lit
tie in prosperous times when there are
few bankruptcies, that it is hard to
keep referee in any one locality.
Judge Beatty says that this position
has caused him much trouble through
the refusal of anyone to take and keep
the Office, necessikating many new ap-
pointments.
Richardson to Stay.
Speaking of the clerkship of the
federal court. it is understood that there
would be no change in that position
even If the new judge should have the
power to make a change, which he has
not.
Clerk Richardson, who, by the way,
has served longer in this position than
any other man in the United States,
is known as an exceptionally compe-
tent man, whom no court could afford
to let go so long as he could be forced
or cajoled to remain.-Boise States

MUST EVER Be
READY TO FIGHT
HeistandS Says to Enjoy
Peace Be Prepared
For War

COLUMBIA, S. c., March 27.-"I
deem it proper and opportune on this
occasion to warn our people that If
they would enjoy peace and its bles-
sings without humiliation, they must
constantly impress the world with
the fact that the United States is in
position TO resist aggression and to en-
force it's just demands"
The above statement was made by
Colonel H. I. s. Heistand, adjutant
general of the United States army, in
a speech on "The AdJutant Generals
Department as a Factor in Military
Training and Its Value to the Nation"
before the Interstate National Guard
association here last night
Colonel Heistand called attention to
the necessity for military training and
urged that the people insist that their
representatives in congress shall pro-
vide ample force at all time, on land
and on water, to meet any impending
danger to our country or to its insti-
tutions."
Treaties Are Easily Broken.
He said that there are those who
combat the idea that soldiers consti-
tute a safe guard to civilization and
who profess to see in them only a relic
OF barbarism, yet practical persons see
IN efhcient and ever ready armed
forces the chief instrument by which
civilization was fashioned and a sure
guarantee of peace.
The speaker declared that he was
not opposed to arbitration as one of
the great agencies of the promotion of
the peace, but" he said, history re-
minds us that treaties are as easily
broken as they are made, and even IL
the hopes of the most advanced adyo-
Gates OF universal arbitration were
realized by the entry of all the great
government of the world in a treaty to
that end. yet soldiers would be an
essential feature"

STRANGE NOISES
SCARE MINERS
]. NJ. Edwards Tells of
Phenomenal OccuranceS
at Lime Point

J. M. Edwards, manager of the
Ohadi Mining company at Garden
creek, was in the city today to secure
more help and supplies for the camp.
Mr. Edwards says the outlook for
the property is most encouraging Two
shifts are now being worked and some
excellent ore is being taken out.
"Ther will be more work on the up
per Snake river than ever before" said
Mr.. Edwards, land this is on account
of the assurance of the building of the
railroad from Huntington to Lewis
ton.
"The entire country is rich in miner
al but development work has been de-
Iayed on account of the absence of
transportation.
Expect Soon to Ship Ore.
ut is now expected that several
properties will be ready to ship ore as
soon as the railroad down the river
is completed and before many years
of the richest mining districts in the
west"
Mr.. Edwards states that the land
slide in the vicinity of Lime Point is
still a matter of much concern in the
upper river country.
He says that people residing in that
vicinity have heard strange noises
from the mountains for the past sew
eral months and that these noises be-
came so disturbing that miners work
ing in the tunnel on the Rodgers prop
erty abandoned their work.
Plateau Disturbed by UpheavaI.
1t is believed that the disturbance
is caused by the action of water on
the lime formation
Up to the present time many land
slides have occurred and in one place
large plateau has been disturbed
by an immense upheaval.

GOODS DAMAGED;
SUE 0. R. & n.
Farmers Declare Steamer Did
Not Deliver Freight at
Right Place

A report reached the city today that
residents of the upper Snake river
country will file a suit against the o.
R. & N. railway company for loss to
freight left by the steamer Lewiston at
the mouth of Fishers Gulch.
The freight was deposited by the
steamer at the~mouth of Fishers
Gulch March 16 and it is reported that
the greater portion of the freight was
either damaged by the fa1eshets or
swept into the river before the people
to whom it wos consigned could place
their goods in shelter.
Hold Company Responsible.
The claim is made by the upper
river people that they consigned their
goods to the upper river landings with
the understanding that it would be de-
livered to these landings when the
steamer made the upper river trip on
March 16.
