CHANGE HOMESTEAD PROOFS.
New Questions For Claimants to
Answer.

A change has been made by the
department of the interior In the
evidence to be submitted by home
stead claimant and bis witnesses in
submitting final proof.
While there are number of
changes 10 the questions used in the
blanks, the one that Is perhaps of the
greatest Importance, and which has
created the most trouble in the land
office by those submitting final proof,
is with relation to the cultivation
and Improvements on the land.
The new ruling vent into effect on
July /, and with reference to the
cultivation of the land, it is now not
only necessary for the claimant and
witness to state how much land he
has under cultivation, but he must
state how much he
has under cultivation on each legal
subdivision of the land, and so must
his witnesses. The same rule applies
to the improvements. Heretofore a
general description has been sufficient, I,
but the claimant and his witnesses
must now not only give this des
cription, but they must state what
improvements he has on each legal
subdivision.

along the platform reached him
and struck him hard blow in the
face. By the time he had recov-
cred from his surprise the train was
outside the station, so he at once
summoned the car attendant.
"What kind Of an outrage is
this?" he demanded of the attend
ant. "Here am |, an innocent pas

The bill was drawn up and passed
under the guidance Of Senator Nelson

to have been made for the "vested

who opposed him have declared that

TO EVADE PRIMARY Law
Scheme is Denounced by Friends

Inc movement inaugurated by a
few republican party leaders to hold a
nominating convention prior to the
primary election meets with little
favor from the direct primary advo.
Gates, says a report from Moscow.
That preprimary convention would
defeat the object of direct primary
law and give party leaders the power
they feel SLIPPING from their grasp is
evident. So much criticism has been
directed toward the plan that it is
expected 1t will die.
Astute party leaders, with the aid
OF preprimary convention could SO
build a slate that it would be i'm.
possible to break it even with
primary election for sectional lines
could be SO recognized that the slate
would be ratified by the voters.
Former Congressman Burton l..
French said: II am unalterably op.-
posed to such plan. This move.
ment is backed by the enemies of
direct primary In Idaho and, having
lost In their fight against direct
primary law, they now seek to evade
the law by holding a convention prior
to the primaries.
"They seem to be afraid of the
rank and die Of the people. They
want to make slate and give it the
prestige OF the backing of state
aud then try to nominate
the slate at the primaries. This is
not what the republican party |
promised the people 10 the last cam
paign preceding it,"

TARIFF NOT INCREASED
Some Pointers From Washing &
ton Writer.
DlNCLEY RATES REDUCED
But Senate Has Raised Rates
Made by the House.

Washington, D. c., July S.-The
work OF the Senate on the tariff bill
has been as little satisfactory TO a
majority of republicans, as it is to
the President, but those who would
form just estimate of the work of
the upper house Of congress will not
be misled by the hue and Cry raised
by large section of the press. In
the first place, in every instance In
which the Senate has raised rate it
has been described as san increase of
the tariff " AS a matter of fact, the
Senate has made extremely few in
creases of the tariff. 1t has increased
the rates fixed by the House bill In
numerous instances but in majority
Of these there has been reduction
from the Dingley rates. For instance,
the House reduced the Dingley rate
Of So Thousand feet on rough lum-
Der to $l thousand feet. The
Senate raised it to $3.50. that being
still reduction Of SO cents from the
Dingley rate. The Dingley rate on
iron ore is 40 cents ton. The House
made iron ore free and the Senate
imposed rate of 25 cents, still a
reduction of Is cents from the exist.
ing law. Take print paper. The
DingeY rate is So a ton The house
made the rate So ton. The Senate
has made it 81 ton, a So reduction
from the existing rate. Like instan
ces without number might be cited.
La number of instances the Sena te
has increased the House rate, but in
almost every instance it has decreased
the existing rate. In a few schedules
it has restored the Dingley rates,
nota bly, on hides which the Dingley
law taxes Is per cent and which the
House made free. In the case OF
gloves and stockings the House great
ly increased the Dingley rates, while
the Senate restored them. To form
an intelligent conception of the work
of the Senate. therefore, 1T is neces.
sary to bear in mind that what are
commonly termed "increasad by the
| Senate" are not increases of but de.
creases from tie existing law, even
where they are increases over the
| House bill.
Another factor which 1t is neces-
sary to bear in the effort to form a
! Just estimate Of the tariff bill is that
| in great many, probably the ma.
jority of instances the rate finally
agreed upon will be compromise be-
tween the House and Senate rates

TALKED MATTERS OVER

lALkED MAIIEkS OvER
Village Board Transacted Routine
Business.
The village board was in regular
session Monday evening and dis
cussed various matters besides
transacting some routine business.
Among the matters brought up
was the testing Of the we'll and an
effort is to be made to secure the
loan Of a pumping outfit for that
purpose ifpossible. Several men,
bers of the board also decided to
make arrangements to visit the
springs on the mountain recently
looked up by Frank Northway and
determine at once how best to
direct the water from them into
Spring Branch creek. the source
OF the city water supply.
Another matter discussed was
the recent case wherein the court
held that the city did not own the
FIVE acres of land described with
the water right on Spring Branch
creek as sold to the city by the
Rathdrum Water company. The
members Of the board who were
present seemed to be of the
opinion that it is evident that the
city understood at the time and
since that it purchased FIVE acres
OF ground along with the water
right, and they believe that the
company should be asked to pro-
duce the land. To start the mat
ter, Mr.. Poleson was appointed a
committee of one to submit the
papers in the recent case to At
torney McBee of Coeur d'Alene
and get his opinion.
The board took the necessary
steps to acquaint itself thoroughly
with the financial condition of the
town by calling for complete re.
port for the year ending July 1.
The clefk was also instructed 10
ascertain the present assessed
valuation OF the town.
Mr.. Beggs reported that A. w.
Post would sell the cemetery and
five acres additional to the town
for 5000, but it was decided that
no expenditure for the purpose
should be made at present.
The clerk was instructed to
notify Mrs. ]. G. Gilbert to remove
pile of earth and gravel from the
alley; also, to notify all parties
having awnings to raise them to
not less than seven feet above the
sidewalk SO as to permit free pas
sage without danger to heads and
hats.
Water rents were adjusted so as
to increase the Club saloon rent to
S. per month and the livery barns
to 81. 50, and the rate for the
Mountain View hotel was fixed at
81 when the dining room is closed
and S. when it is open. The
petition of Mrs. r. Mulledy for a
reduction of the water rent for her
restaurant was read, but no action
was taken on it.
The bill of the Rathdrum Elec.
trio company, $50. 80 for June
lights, was allowed.
