"The resolutions eondemning the

The County Commissioners
met in regular monthly session
Monday OF this week, and are
still at work. The full board
was present at the Monday meet
ing and Immediately took up
the mass Of business waiting its
attention. The quarterly re-
ports Of F. G. Smith, as clerk
OF the District Court and as
Auditor and Recorder, were
read and approved, and the same
action was taken with respect to
the reports Of W. H. Manion,
Probate Judge; and w. w.
Fountain, Sheriff. This being
the day set for the opening Of
bids for the construction of a
steel bridge across the South
Boise river near the old Johnson
bridge on the county road be-
tween Mountain Home and
Rocky Bar, the Clerk was in
structed to open and read them.
They were as follows: ]. H.
Forbes, of Caldwell, $4259.O0;
Geo. A. Searsm, Of Denver, $43-
1900; M. F. Levy, OF Denver,
"a, $4,000; and M. e. Moulton,
of Denver, $4,690.OO. Action
on these bids was deferred un-
! til later in the week, and the
Board then adjourned until the
next day.
The Tuesday session develop
ed little Of interest to the gen.
eral public, most Of the Boards
time being taken up with the
examination and allowance OF
bills, including the salaries Of
the county officials, total OF
over $5, 100000.
The board continued its work
on the 18th inst, taking up first
the various complaints to the
effect that the O.S. L. had failed
to provide crossings over it's
track east of town as directed
by the Board whom it laid oul
the road between Sections and
s and 7 and s last July. The
Clerk was instructed to demand
that the company put in these
crossings forthwith. At this
point in the proceedings com.
mittee from the Commercial
Club waited upon the board
and presented a request that the
Commissioners put in an arc
light in front OF the court house.
After. some discussion, the board
agreed to put in a 80 candle
power lamp for use during cour1
sessions, but would not keep ur
a permanent light, believing
that the village should take care
of that. The Board resumed
its work this morning and will
probably be in session until to.
morrow afternoon.

CRANDJEAN COMMENTS ON
WOOLCROWER'S ACTIONS
Expresses Surprise That Association Condemns
Forest Service and Says Range Regu-
lation Has Come to Stay.

Supervisor e. Grandjean re.
turned yesterday from Pocatello,
where, upon special invitation, he
attended the annual convention of
the State Woolgrowers' Associa.
ton. Mr.. Grandjean expressed
himself as greatly disappointed in
the action taken by the convention
in condemning in such sweeping
terms the forest service policy,
"Under the present administra
ton Of the range" said Mr. Grand
jean, "a great number OF the graz.
ers have assured me that they were
perfectly satisfied with the manner
in which the forest policy was car
ried out and that they recognized
the protection given under this sys-
tenn to sheep grazers, who undoubt.
edly would have been crowded to
the wall by the general overcrowd-
ing of the range, resulting from the
profitable returns of the sheep bus.
mess during the past two years.
"Many of the grazers make the
statement that in former years the
range supported more sheep, but
when they are asked to relinquish
a small bit OF their range for new.
comere, the majority of them de
clare that the range cannot sup
port more sheep, This explains
why itwas necessary to make cut
on sliding scale for the Sawtooth
Forest in order to find room for
some small owners, whose interests
the Governments policy is to pro-
tect by all means. They, on the
other end, do not seem to appreciate
the efforts that the Government has
made and will make to protect their
interests. t.a ~.

conditions we're very favorable and
an increase Of abont $4,000 head
was made in the allotment for the
next year. With one exception,
every grazer with whom | talked
was perfectly satisfied with the
system of ailotting the range. They
all had ample feed for their stock
and without exception on both the
Sawtooth and Payette Forests, all
stock came out in extraordinary
good condition.

Seattle Capitalist Hires a Crew Of

Laborers Strongly Object.
They Comel They Comel
The Greeksl The Greeksl

The Greeks! The Greeks!
This was the alarm cry,
which, so the story goes, an
nounced the coming Of the
invader to the Turkish camp.
And this, too, was the signal for
the assembling Of the hard work.
ing laboring men Of Mountain
Home, this week, when it was
learned that r. J. Huston, the
Seattle capitalist who recently
acquired the Fruitdale property,
had contracted with q crew Of
fifty-fve swarthy natives Of
that sunny country to clear his
acres of sage brush. An indig-
nant meeting was held last even
ing to determine the best mode
Of repelling the invaders, and
as a result Of their deliberations,
so the story goes, twenty-five Of
those in attendance started, at q
late hour, for the camp Of the
Greeks, near the scene Of their
labors, to confer with them.
Mr.. Huston, it seems, in some
way learned Of the delegations
intention, and, scenting trouble,
called for Sheriff Fountain and
proceeded toward the field OF
battle. They met the delegation
OH its way back, and upon in
quiring were told that the mis-
sion Of the delegation had been
simply to tell the Greeks that
their were plenty Of men here,
with families to support, to do
the work they were about to
take up.
Upon the assurance that there
would be no violence, the Sheriff
turned back, and there was no
further trouble that night. In
the morning, however, Mr..
Huston, OH his way to the camp,
met part of the Greeks coming
to town, and on asking the rea-
son, was told that they had been
warned the night before that
they would be killed ii they
were found working on the job
after twenty-four hours. After
some argument, Mr.. Huston
persuaded most of them to go
back to work, where they re-
mained up to last reports.
When seen by a Republican
reporter, Mr.. Huston stated that
he had tried to makea deal for
the work with local men, but
was unable to make any satis-
factory bargain. 4 The local men
were either too high priced or
else unable to put enough men
at work to finish the job within
the required time. He there
fore contracted with a band
Of Japs to do the work, but the
local men succeeded, in some
way in frightening them away
before they actually came to
work. He next arranged for
the Greeks, with the resultabove
related.
