The test case just taken into the
federal courts from North Platte to
determine the title of the Union Pa
ciflc railroad to an extra 100 feet of
land on either side of it's track across
Nebraska is one that will! attract at
tention from all parts OF the state. In
1862 the United States to encourage
the building OF the first Pacific rail-
road granted the Union Pacific a right
OF way 400 feet wide from the Mis-.
souri, river westward and every other
section OF land for ten miles on either
side OF its tracks. In 1864 the land
grant was doubled, giving the road the
alternate sections for twenty miles
on each side Of the track and the right
OF way was, 1t is alleged, reduced to
200 feet in width. It is this extra 200
feet width right OF way that has been
the bone Of contention for years be-
tween the settlers along the Union Pa
cific and the railroad. 1t is not used
by the road for grade and is not likely

casual observer. The remark is fire.
quently heard, II won't vote for AL
exander." Whitwell appears to more
nearly meet the approval of the rank
and file. But when Frank Harris is
mentioned 1t Is all off and McClear no
one seems to know. Many Canyon
County democrats are DESTROYS of
knowing why John c. Rice was side
tracked for a Boise man. Some say
that Alexander will tap a barrel and
get the worth of his money in the ad-
vertising, was the principal reason for
the nomination
The selection of John Nugent for
chairman is not pleasant to contem-
plate by many of the democrats, for
they remember his work of two years
ago; how he and his colleagues de-
bauched some of the citizens of Can
yon County and they were not all
democrats, either.

Some of the exchanges In COM
menting on the action of the Canyon
County republican convention make
the mistake of saying that this County
is not for j. IL. Brady for the nominal
ton for governor. 1t would be Just
as consistent to state that the County
Is not for Hepburn or for Tucker. The
basis for the statements are because
the convention refused to endorse any
candidate for office. The delegation
selected Is fully capable to handle
these questions at the State conven-
ton, and they will do SO. Mr.. Brady
Will receive the votes of the delega-
ton and also the County, just as Sem
ator Hepburn or J. N. Tucker will.

no member shall prevaricate and be-
cause Comrade Babb had been indulg-
ing in hyperboles he narrowly escap-
ed lynching by members of the Relief
Corps.
Next came music, addresses and
Rotations.
Miss Julia Smith enliyened the oc-
casion with some choice instrumental
selections Mrs. Holman presided at
the piano and all joined in singing a
few of our patriotic songs.
1t is surprising how well the old
soldiers can sing America, Marching
Thru Georgia. and songs of that kind.
c. E. Holman spoke of how war
times appeared to the sons OF veterans
and the conditions and events follow
ing the war and noticed how these
sacrifices and hardships was the price
paid for our present institutions and
American liberty.
Mrs. Charlie Calkins, Comrade
March, and Miss Kate Robertson each
recited in an excellent manner.
Comrade March carried off the hon
ors of this part of the program by
rendering one of Fredic Jarome's
patriotic solos,
Refreshments were then served and
each did his part so we'll that it is i'm
possible to tell who did excel.
A very beautiful cake was presented
which were the words Our Boys"
This was auctioneered off by Comrade
March, purchased by Comrade Shuey,
the Relief Corps received the money
The crowd devoured the cake (all I'M
be-knowns to the purchaser and all
he had for his money was the motto
Our Boys').
Really everyone had good time ex-
cept Comrade March. The conviction
of each person present was that Com
rade March and Mrs. Wilson are ex-
cellent entertainers.

When the County assessor came to

raising the valuations on the lots in
the City of Caldwell IS; is that Salts
factory" informed him that If the
raise was general, had no objections.
Well, there is about 10000 lots in the
City of Caldwell. A raise of S. a lot
would increase the valuation $50, 900.
And yet by the report in the States
