sidering petitions for new roads and
changes in the lines of roads in various
portions Of the county, some Of which can
only be acted upon after they have made
personal visits to the grounds. The new
liquor license law has also demanded
their attention, as all saloon men are re-
quired to take out new licenses, with in
creased cost and an increase of bonds.
But the full report Of the proceedings,
which will appear in next issue, will tell
it all.
Hon. Arthur Pence of Hot Springs,
Bruneau valley, now state senator from
Owyhee. a position which he has filed for
several previous terms, who is an exten-
sive rancher and wool grower Of the val
ley, and one of the county's old time re-
sdents. was in town over Wednesday. 1t
is his first visit here for several mon this.
He is one Of the genial old timers whom
it is pleasure to meet. He reports ii mes
good in Bruneau valley and everything
indicating a bountiful crop this year. He
speaks in glowing terms Of the great body
Of land in this county to be reclaimed by
the Twin Falls company south and west
of the Twin Falls tract, near the Nevada
line. He says that when the project is
carried out, it will make Owyhee one Of
the most populous and productive coun-

CHANGE OF MAIL ROUTE.

The postmaster here, on Monday, re-
ceived a notice for posting, asking for
bids for carrying the mails between Muir
ply and Silver City, via Reynolds and
Dewey, and fixing the schedules as fol-
lows: Leave Silver City at 800 a. m,
and arrive at Murphy in not less than Z
hours; leave Murphy upon the arrival Of
the mails, but not later than LOO p. M,
and arrive at Silver City in not less than
hours.
AS the postofiee here cannot be expect
ed to remain open later than 900 p. M, /,
it implies that the mails to go out at 800
a. M, will be made up at nine o'clock
the evening before, leaving business men
barely short hour late in the evening to
receive and reply to important mail, with
out having it lie over one day, and the
mails in Dewey being subject to nearly
the same inconvenience. No provision is
made in the schedule announced here for
the mail to DeLamar, but bids for carry
ing the mails between Dewey and De-
Lamar have been asked for at those post
offices and DeLamar people will have to
submit to the same inconvenience which
will exist here.
Now, when we come to think that all
of this trouble and inconvenience has
been caused by the idaho Northern rail
road manager happening to discover, after
the road had been doing it for four years,
that the government had only been pay
