of It from the grasp Of the ever
ready adventurer. Hundreds. yes
thousands, Of acres Of such land lie
uncultivated and stock range in i'm

gunshot OF Chesterfield and almost
that near Blackfoot. Still our
dusky cousins have to have the pro-
lection OF Uncle Sam or the newt
able law OF ''the strongest Is the
fttest' would prevail and the red
man would be crowsd to the wall

not alter the fact that q very beau

lies along the head waters OF the
Portneuf and its tributaries, which

by Indian or white man to the adj
vantage OF the people.
IN Passing over the reserve Chester
Held is reached. Some very beauti-
full farmhouses are dotted here and
there on the various farms. The
public school building Is a great
credit to the scattered settlers. A
townsite situated on seven, II moi

appearance as the outside country.

From Chesterfield to Bancroft, a
distance Of some eight miles, is com
paratively a tract of waste. Still, il

At Bancroft one wonders where
the business men get their support
from. 1t being an important front
on the Oregon. Short Line people
from Chesterfield on the north, Lund
Turner, Thatcher and Grace on the
south, make 1t their headquarters as
shipping point. Those settle.

good business blocks, also has two

do credit to Pocatello, from whence
it gets it's support is one of the mys-
teries the writer has not solved. Ru-
NOR has it that the owners are los

Bancroft is situated at the termi-
nus Of the canal running from Soda
Springs and Salaratus creek, the
farms, like jug handle, are all on
one side, and above the village hence
not very much can be said of it from
an agricultural point, but like all

The good little friend OF the miners
very naturally violated the Ubiquitous
order. and was very promptly notified
of her arrest by the United States
marshal. The warrant was served
while she was delivering an address.
After reading the document she re-
torted in her Characteristic manner:

increased the public confidence in
him. Consequently. when he offered
himself at the next election as can
didate for clerk of the circuit court,
he was overwhelmingly nominated in
the primary Of his party, aud after
wards overwhelmingly elected at the
general election. The performance
of his duties in this Office was so in
telligent, able and satisfactory that at
the end of his term he was reelected
for another term without opposition
in his own party.
During his service as clerk he
studied law and completed his course
at the State University. AT the ex-
piration of his second term as clerk
he began the practice of law. 1t was
no surprise to his friends to learn
that he succeeded from the start.
Having naturally legal mind, and
with clear perception. calm patience
and tireless energy, he soon became
leader at the bar of his native coun-
ty, enjoying lucrative and we'll pay
ing practice.
On the death Of Hon. Thomas E.
Davis in 1905, he was appointed Col
'lector of Internal Revenue for West
Virginia by Theodore Roosevelt, Pres
ident of the United States, and since
has acceptably filled that Office and
at the same time successfully con-
tinued his. law practice at Morgan
town. In all the public trusts he
has displayed a full realization OF his
responsibility. and has conscientious
ly performed the duties thereof to the
fullest extent. His home life is beau
tiful, Surrounded by a happy family
he dispenses a kindly and generous
but transformations hospitality in true
American style. He is now forty-six
years of age and in the very prime of
life. He is man of great intel
lectual force, of gentle manners, con-
siderate of the feelings and welfare
of others. and OF unassailable Chris
tian character-just such a man as
would grace the executive chair q.
any state-a splendid type of Ameri-
can manhood.

William e. Glasscock, the nominee
of the Republican party for COVER
nor, was born and reared upon a
small farm on Indian Greek, Monon-
gala county, and is one of a family
OF ten children. His parents were
of Scotch descent. His early educa-
ton was confined to the public
schools. In these schools the strong
qualities of mind and heart. which
were afterwards destined to make
him leader of men. became mani
fest. When controversy arose
among the pupils OF the school Bill
Glasscock, as he was endearingly call
ed, was always chosen as arbiter.
Here also 1t was that he first acquir-
ed desire for knowledge beyond the
province of the public schools. His
father being unable to furnish the
means necessary to give all his child
rem higher education, this boy de-
termined to make his own way and
earn for himself the means of secur-
ing liberal education. In addition
to attending the public schools, he APP
pied fiimsef OF nights and mornings
to an independent course, of study
with a view of preparing himself to
teach. This he did thoroughly, and
at the very early age of eighteen
years became very successful school
teacher. So progressive and popular
was he as teacher that in 1887 he
was elected county superintendent of
free schools OF Monongalia county
and reelected in 1889. This Office is
one of considerable Importance in
that county owing 10 the fact that the
chief educational Institution of the
state is located there. During his
terms as superintendent of schools he
was married to Mary Alice Miller. the
daughter of neighbot-
ing village merchant. To this union
three children were born. one OF
whom. a bright boy of twelve years,
is still living. Mr.. Glasscock's con-
