Senator Hepburn will be the conven-

Suyevor General D. A. Utter has
received instructions from the depart
ment of the interior directing him to
ignore the recent ruling of the SUI
preme court of the state of Idaho, the
case of Johnson VS.. Johnson, and to
continue to grant surveys for unsur-
yeyed islands in the Snake river
whether the lands upon the banks are
patented lands or not until he Is
otherwise notified.
The opinion referred to dealt with
rinarian ownership and it was held
that the owner of land on the bank
of a navigable stream, which the court
| has held the Snake river to be, owns
| TO the center of the main channel. IN
the Snake river there are hundreds Oh
small islands and some larger ones

few of which have ever been survey
ed, although several have been lived
upon and farmed for years by settlers,

application for survey and prove VI
upon them as homesteads. Other set
tiers came and settled upon the banks
of the river and although under theil
filing they were permitted by the de-
partment of the interior to enter bu'
100 acres the supreme court declares
that they own all portions of such Is
lands lying opposite their lands OF
their side of the center of the man
channel regardless of the acreage.
The situation arising threatene'
great hardship upon the island squat
tiers, some of whom at once made ap
plication to the surveyor general u
have their islands surveyed, but Whlcl

the handles rotted away. The remains
we're by the side of what had once
been an excavation, but had caved in
to such an extent the prospector
could not determine whether it had
been the old workings of a shaft or
not.
BY the remains was found some ore
which gave indications of being valu-
able in silver, estimated at several
thousand ounces to the ton. In this
same locality there is said to have
been some gold ore found, but no in
dications of silver ore in any quantl-
ties, nor similar to the ore found by
the side of the skeleton.
From the manner in which the skel-
eton had decayed it is probable that
some prospector had made this dis
covery fifty or more years ago, as
none of the present inhabitants in the
Big Hole country nor at Gibbonsville
can recall that any of the early pros
pectors came up missing who were
not afterwards heard of. 1t is not a
all probable that any circumstances
will ever be discovered which vii
identify the old miner-prospector wh'
lost his life at this place.

Important Day Recalled.

Tomorrow will be the semicenten-
NAL of the sending of the first cable
message across the Atlantic, from
Queen Victoria to President Buchanan
on August 16, 1858. 1t is also the
anniversary of the newspaper scare
head" since it was that momentous
event which led even the most con-
servative of New York newspapers to
break forth in lurid announcements
of the wonderful news.
A perusal of the newspapers OF that
day shows that New York was then
more capable of enthusiasm than
now. According to the public prints
the people of the metropolis, wildly
excited by the news that message
had actually been received over an
ocean cable 1850 statute miles long,
could scarcely restrain their JOY al
the performance of such a marvellous
feat. All over the city factory Wh1s
ties shrieked church bells rang ant
bonfres were built to celebrate thu
tremendous event There were bril-
liant Examinations, too, and one news
paper recounts that certain famou
hosiery of that day displayed n
less than 1000 lights" The day
celebration wound up with fire i
the city hall, which added to the eH
element. There was parade thre
miles long, in which carts and dray
took the place of floats.
Later great official celebrate
was held in Trinity church, followe
by a dinner given by the commo
council to Cyrus w. Field, the fathe
of the cable. And it was just at tn;
time that the cable ceased to woi
and the rejoicing was turned to dee
est gloom.
But Cyrus Field whom New ioi
n few years before had called an e
thusiast and dreamer, not to me
ton "crazy crank" and similar tern
was not discouraged, After a subs
ouent failure in 1865, the followiI
year found n new cable line workii
successfully, and since that time Nc
York has never been shut OFF frt

Another Fake.

ETY. Of wheat just discovered that Is
supposed to yield from 200 bushels TO
the acre and up. Prof. p. Il. Elllott
tells the Tribune that the wheat Is
Egyptian wheat or seven headed
wheat. A novice naturally supposes
that the branching heads would yield
heavily, but from experiments 1t Is
found that no more is obtained thah
from the ordinary varieties. Prof.
Elliott says that this variety has been
grown at the experimental farm ever
since he has been there and is COM
mon variety at all stations. In all OF
the experiments it has been demon
strated that it has no practical value
whatever.-Pocaetllo Tribune.

Little Money OH Hand.

If the abstracts of the county aud
itors on file are to be taken as an in
dication there is very little money on |
hand" in the State of Idaho, II of the
% county assessors having failed to
find any at all according to the re-
ports. 1t must be explained, how
ever that in some counties where there
is but a small amount returned for
taxation it is classified as other prop
erty." Money on hand is subject to
exemption for debt, and some OF the
assessors give this as an explanation
for the fact that there is compare
lively little reported in the abstracts.
Amounts are reported by II counties
as follows:
Ada, 5000; Bear Lake, $40,59O; Bon

Lemhi, $34,2OS; Nez Perez, $79,3O5;
Shoshone, $1,000; Washington, $3.50.
But three of the counties classify
their automobiles. In Ada the total
valuation of all machines is $3.50,
while Blaine reports two appraised
at 5000 each, and Idaho County one.
Idaho County is the only county list
ing a hearse under special classified
ton, and this is valued at 5000 or at
the same figure as the only automobile
the assessor located.
Wines and liquors were reported by
counties as follows: Ada, $11,325;
Bannock, $123,210; Blaine, $1O,25Oi

Bryan's Notification Speech.

The popular impression of Bryans |
speech upon being formally notified |
of his nomination for the presidency |
for the third time is well expressed in
the following editorial from the Ore
gonian:
Mr.. Bryan's notification speech
will not disappoint anybody 1t con-
tains about what might have been eX-
pected and it's sentences are turned in
that easy, lucid way for which he is
well known. He makes full use of the
OPPORTUNITIES for retort which Mr..
| Taft has afforded. Naturally, the man
| who speaks first must expect to be
| criticized by the one who follows, and
| no one can make a speech with which
| it is impossible to pick flaws.
throughout his address Mr.. Bryan's
promises read pretty we'll. Few OF
them can be disputed and they are
stated in temperate language. 1t is
his conclusion that one has to reject
The same conclusion is drawn from
every argument in the speech and 1t Is
repeated at the close of each para
graph in form or substance. The
whole discourse might, in fact, be
summed up in a single sentence, Inc
country is going to the dogs under
REPUBLICAN rule and the only way to
save it is to elect William Jennings
Bryan president
"The corporations have wrestled the
substance of power away from the
peopel and left them only the shadow
therefore we must elect Mr.. Bryan
The trusts have destroyed competition
and set up universal monopolies
: | therefore we must elect Mr.. Bryan
/. | Seventy billion dollars of Watere
: stock has been issued by the corpora

o Bryan. The tariff has not been re
t formed, senators can not be electe

d | sentatives is ruled despotically by M
IS | cannon anu Hlo odICihNSS' nv
Il we must elect Mr.. Bryan. The pee
IS less one is a sort of soothing syrup
n pink pill, warranted to cure all di

N THE fact is that Mr.. Bryan HI
,r nothing to propose in the way OF rer
4 edies for public evils which is eth
of novel or practicable. Plausible
n his address sounds, it is far from b
10 ing a statesmanlike utterance. Strol
in denunciation, it is exceeding
weak on the conservative side. I

They arc getting to have almost as many ideas In Chicago as they have In Boston, and some of them are just as good For instance, many of the school children of Chicago have adopted a plan, proposed by Mrs, Edward Rohy, a elubWoman. of salutlng policemen as they pass. Mrs. Roby suggested tho salute in an address before woman's club, We think too little of our po- licemen,' she said, "Thcy protect our homes and often cndangor their lives in our behalf. Their calling should stir our patriotism, and every child should be taught to salute the star which the policeman wears
 Which is entirely proper, Now Haven doesn't need to borrow ideas from any body In fact, she has some good ones to lend But she might well follow Chicago in encouraging her children to salute the policemen. It would be good for both the policemen and the chl. dren, and wouldn't do a bit of harm to anybody, The policemen of New Haven are worthy of being so saluted. and such pleasing and beneficial custom might we'll be established here.

NH. BR,AN's MoNEy-MAkING.

MT. Bryan has been talking about that Income which has helped inspire the charge that he is out of sympathy with the working masses because he gets q larger income than the Presi- dent of the United States from his lec- turing, writing and newspaper. MT Bryan pointed out that his income was legitimately earned, that 1t is not us large as 1t has been reported to be, and he adds: l make more speeches for nothing than for pay, and devote more time to public work than private gain. The income that have received has come from the people who attend my lectures and who read what I write. and therefore my obligation Is to the whole people rather than to any special class The best test of the effect of my income is to be found in the things that 1 advocate My views have not changed on public questions. I am contending for the same things now that did at tho outset, and think no ono will deny that could make more by siding with the corporate interests than have made out of lceturing My political prominence has been an advantage in that 1t has given me larger reading circle and a larger audience, but I could have used that prominence in other ways to greater peeunlary advan- l tage, For instance. 1 was offered s25.00 q year as counsel for a corporation, but 1t would have taken me out of the po- litical hell. By featuring and writing I can make what I need in half the time and have the rest for public work
 This Is straightforward and ade- quate answer to some of the talk that has been going the rounds, Mir Bryan Is certainly having pleasant and prof
 tablc life just now, and no right-mind- cd person will begrudgc him t. He Is a good man and good citizen and he is not to blame for turning out to be a money-maker. He hasn't always been one, at least not a famous one.

pr. Charles II. Hubbard, the oldest practitioner. perhaps. In Middlesex county died suddenly of paralysis at his home in Essex on Sunday of last week
 Graduating In medicine in 1860, he es tablished himself in the town in which he died, and for nearly half a century was the beloved physician of com munity that will long hold him in af- feetlonate remembrance Added to his rare skill as a diaGnosticlan, his quick perception, his sympathetic manner at the bedside, was a most winning per sonality that bound men to him in all the varied walks of his busy life. For although constant fin service in his chosen field. his activities were not con fined to it's duties alone. He was a trustee of the Pratt school Essex, a member of its board of education for thirty years, and much of the time he was acting school visitor. He was Il member of the Essex Congregational church for forty-two years. giving his time freely and multiplying his chari- ties as his means permitted.
 The commerciaism that one some times fears has tainted modern medical 1 practice never touched him. Like the Master he served. he went about doing good, mnistering to the poor, comfort ing he afflicted, recaiming the erring. The best reward perhaps of weary
 years,
 A widows blessing or an orphans
 tears
 He gathered no riches. but he has lief, behind him name that Is better thar riches, and sweet memories of gra cious presence that arc solace and ar inspiration in this day of our grief
 He died In action--this dear old vet eran--with all his armor on,

 Whose good Is quick and mighty. faI

SOME HIGH PROTECTION.

Japan has decided that If there are any infant industries that can be pro fitably encouraged by her she Is going to encourage them She needs the 'money. one of the ways in which she is working Is her experiment In the ex- ploltaton of Manchuria and Korea. Japan is determined to crush all trade competition in this territory and to create n gigantic and, she hopes, a pro- fitable monopoly. To help this along, Japanese merchants everywhere arc encouraged in their exportatlons to Korea and Manchuria, and if they want to extend their business they arc enabled to borrow money from the gov ent-controlled banks at a reduced rate of interest, with rebate to those merchants who do annual business of a certain magnitude. This money is part of the last foreign loan, negotiated just after the battle of the Sea of Japan, and in most instances if Is being loaned to the Japanese merchants at a lower rate of interest than the government pays for lt.
 This Is pretty high protection of in- fant industries If 1t were not for the well known smartness of the Japanese and their habit of success 1t would seem like protection run mad Time will tell Meanwhile, it will be decid- edly intree esting to see how the scheme works,
