singers who are far above the aver
age, and their visit to the valley is
rare treat. The first tenor, Mr..
G. E. Patterson, is exceptionally
good, and he possesses press reports
from some of the leading eastern
newspapers which speak highly of
his work. He was leading tenor
soloist in the Plymouth Congrega-
tional (Dr- Gonsalus') church at
Chicago; leading tenor in Sinia
Temple, { Rabbi Hirsch') Chicago,
also at Central Music Hall and 9TH
er places in Chicago. He was also

Denver, and the Church of Christ
at Des Moines, Iowa. Mr.. G. S.
French, the basso, was formerly in

at Chicago. The other members
of the quartette are vocalists of con-
siderable ability.

poo;ster Addison T. Smith and

land land Office at Boise have rendered
L decision in the contest case of w.
|u TAYLOR VS.. E. A. Williams, in
mlving vi homestead in Scott valley
\ favor of Williams, the contestee.
: From the evidence it appears
|bat Williams filed on the land on
Nav %, 1905, and later on the same
dav Taylor offered a filing which.
VAS Va, rejected. Taylor then contest
edWilliams'entry with above result.
It was charged by Williams and

and man named Banks, who nev-
er resided in the valley, had fenced
IN an area much in excess of lawful
|uroportions and amounting to be-
tween 500 and 600 acres, practically
all the agricultural land in valley.
In rendering their decision in
favor Of the contestee the register
and receiver said: ut is plainly
evident that Taylor has acted as
did the dog in the manger." Him
self entitled to but 12O acres, he at
tempted to keep, and, for time
quite successfully, did keep others
from the valley who were endeavor-
ing to secure homes; this in face of
the fact that there is room for at
least half dozen settlers, FIVE hav-
Ling made applications and others
we're undoubtedly kept off by the
excessive enclosures of Taylor and
Banks, which is practically one,
and Taylor the beneficiary.
