SPEED THE EVOLUTION,

In the on-Freewater school dis
trict they have just taken new
school census. There are now 6S6
children of school age in that district.
This is a greater number than was
ever shown before and the census is
a good indication of the rapid in
crease in the population of that Sec
ton.
Now. what is causing the popula-
tion of the east end to increase? Up
there they have the same land they
have always had. There is no more
of it than there was 20 years ago.
The answer is that the Milton-Free-
water people are now doing more
with their land than they ever did be-
fore. They have stopped ranching and
are now farming. They are now rails
ing less wheat and more strawberries
and peaches. Each farmer now needs
less land than he fomerly did and the
change of methods makes room for
new people Incidentally land in the
east end is worth about 10 times what
it used to be worth
There are other sections of the
country where the same transforma-
ton may be wrought Some day the
change will be made. 1t is said that
evolution will bring it about. But
let us see if we cannot hasten the
evolution.

Anyone who has ever travelled or
the New York subway in rush hours
can readily appreciate the following:
A little man, wedged into the middle
of az car, suddenly thought of pick
pockets, and quite as suddenly re-
membered that he had some money
in his overcoat. He plunged his
hand into his pocket and was some

fist of a fat fellow-passenger-
"Aha" snorted the latter. 81
caught you that time!"
"Leggo" snarled the little man
"Leggo my hand!"
"Pickpocket!" hissed the fat man
"Scoundrel!" retorted the little one
Just then a tall man in their vicln-
ty glanced up from his paper.
"f'd like to get off here" he drawl-
ed, "if you fellows don't mind taking
your hands out of my pocket"

Hole i'm New French Coin.

The French chamber is to be asked
shortly to sanction the minting OF
some new nickel coins to the value OF
100000. There will be two new
pieces Of five and ten centimes, and
these will have a hole in the center af-
ter the manner Of the Belgian nickel
coins. The names Of the new coins
and their weights are still under con-
sideration. The hole in the center
will effectively prevent any confusion

CHAPTER XIV.

The board Of commissioners
having met to canvas the re-
turns Of the general election,
the question of the removal of
the archives and records Of the
county from Rocky Bar to Min.
Home, the newly elected county
seat, came up before the board,
On the question OF the removal
of the records, Commissioner
Ethel voted Eyes," and Cava-
nah and Stockton voted "no."
/. A similar condition had al
ready arisen in Logan county
on the question Of the removal
of the county records from Sho-
shone to Bellevue, the commits
sioners Of that county refusing
to remove the records to Belle
vue, which had won the county
seat at the general election.
This matter was taken into the
court on the question of two.
thirds vote not being cast for
Bellevue, the constitution re-
quiring such a vote for the re-
moval Of a county seat. Ell
more's commissioners, by a ma
jority vote, decided to await the
decision of the supreme court
in the Logan county case, be-
fore making an order for the
removal of the records in ac-
cordance with the decision Of
the people at the late election.
W. G. Howie had about this
time located at Mountain Home,
and opened a law Office, and
he was employed to bring a suit
for a writ of mandamus COM
manding the board Of commits
sioners to remove the county
records to Mountain Home. The
suit was dismissed on the ground
that the plaintiff in the case,
DR.. W. f. Smith. not being at
the time a county officer, had
not the legal right to sue.
Greene White, the newly
elected senator, resigned his Of
fee as sheriff shortly after the
election, and James D. Gray was
appointed to fiji the vacancy.

airy, 1901, being the time fixed

for the purpose Of organizing as

ly elected county officers, except
Surveyor Towne, were also at
the same place to be sworn in
and enter upon the official du-
ties.
W. G. Wickersham, deputy
auditor and recorder, was on
hand ready to swear the COM
missioners into office, but before
he could do so he was called to
the telephone by Recorder Gil :
man and notified that he was
removed as a deputy and was
ordered not to swear the new
board in by virtue Of such dep.
utyship.
As the statute required That
commissioners be sworn in by
the recorder and Recorder Gil
man refusing to do so at Min.
Home and his deputy, Wicker
sham being removed from Of

ed. So Lawyer HOWE was
called in for advice as to the

By the appointment of Bishop
H. C. Morrison, | am to labor with
you one more year, the Lord per
mitting. 1t is supposed that thu
Lord directs his church in her off
cial act, therefore my appointment
is of the Lord, if His purpose in hel
has been fulfilled.
The great central purpose Of th'
Church of Christ being to save tn
people from their sins, it ought no
to be difficult to determine the dut!
of her ministering servants.
So, l am here to stand firml!
with all good people, for all gooC
things and against all that is evil
in all men, to the very best of m!
ability. | desire to do right; bu
recognize that l am, in common
with all men, subject to mistakes
| only beg to be judged according
to my motives and honest endeav
ors and not by my faults and er
rors.
| invite all the members an,
friends of the Methodist church t
be present at the opening of tn
Conference year next Sabbath morn
ing at 10:45. Yours in our Lord,
