Investigate Desert Entries.
LAS ! understand it. one of the
matters which will engage your at
tention is the entry of what is known
as desert government land under
the desert act on lands which are
located in Gilmore county For this
reason, / wish to explain to you the
desert land law in detail"
After explaining this law. the.
court stated that the act of 1873
did not allow the assignment Of
entries. but a subsequent amendment
known as the act of 1879, allows the
right to assign,
Various Charges.
Il wish to make this one fact clear
to you, continued the court. "An en-
tryman can go to the United States
land Office and make an entry of
desert land when he intends at the.
time to assign his entry. That does.
not mean that the declarant can
make an entry with the idea of
assigning it for the direct advantage
of someone else or for another's per-
sonal gain.
1T is not impossible that the law
has been violated in that way ac-
cording to the contention of the
government in the matter which Will
be brought to your attention.
1T is also possible that this evil
dence will include the following
charges: Perjury, subordination of
perjury and conspiracy. The first is
Criminal intent, the escond the act
of inducing another to do perjury
and the third the act of two or more
people fraudulently conspiring to de-
fraud the United States. Perjury is
is an offense that you should severely
deal with. If subordination of per-
jury is computed, perjury must have
been committed.
Il presume that the conspiracy in
dicates the act to secure govern
ment land by false swearing. 1t will
be your duty to find the origin of
the fraud and the originators or who
framed the illegal combination. The
statute of limitations does not run
in these matters, so the district at
torney informs me. You will remem-
Der that the concurrence of twelve
of your members is a sufficient num-
Der to find an Indictment"
The court went into the class of
evidence with reference to hearsay
and read the Constitution, after
which the jury was placed in the
hands of the bailiff.

IDAHO RULES AT

PEAL TO THOUSANDS FROM
ALL OVER COUNTRY.
Showing of Products Assists Bonding

SoId-People Coming West.

That Idaho was almost the whole
show at the United States Land &
Irrigation exposition, which closed
its doors after running two weeks,
en- last Saturday. is evident from the
various expressions and comments
from the men who went from here.
One of the Idahoans, who was in at
tendance all during the show, writes
to the Statesman that it was the
greatest thing of it skind ever held
in the country, and the advertising
which Idaho received as a result Of
the event will be the means of
bringing a great many people to this
state. The letter is in part as fol-
lows:
The United States Land & Irri-
cation exposition closed its doors on
Saturday. December 4th, and is con-
coded by all the exhibitors to have
been the greatest exposition of ir-
rigated porducts ever held in the
world. The last week of the show
was the bets from every point of
view. The attendance grew larger
as the end of the exposition drew
near Friday and and Saturday, the
last two days. were the banner ones
for attendance Several times Fri
day it was necessary to close the
doors in order to prevent the build
ing filling up so that people could
not move The paid admissions for
the entire two weeks were probably
a little over 100000. A large per
centage of these were farmers from
surrounding states and the remain
der were Chicago people.
The international Livestock show
which vas held the last week,
brought a great many stock and
shep men into the city from all parts
of the United States and they at
tended the exposition in great num-
bers. Those who attended the stock
show are the breeders of very fancy
cattle. sheep and horses. men who
are very successful in their lines and
have ample capital with which to
acrry on their business; they grow
stock strictly as a matter of bust
ness. and Idaho was very fortunate
in being able to show its products
to them.
Orchards and Diaries.
The feature sof Idaho which it's
representatives here have sought TO
bring out most prominently are the
possibilities in orcharding and dairy
ing. The farmers generally show
more interest in the latter than in
fruit growing. while the city people
seem to be wrapped up in the fruit
question, and will take nothing else.
There is no bushes in the country.
however. which. offers the opportun-
ity that Southern Idaho does for the
production of dairy products. and the
farmers of Illinois and Minnesota
show great interest in that indus
try.
The Idaho delegation numbered
81 in all, and practically all of them
were busy at the Coliseum the
greater part of the time. There were
several at work in the various booths
and il was not uncommon to hear
some one say, Idaho seems to be
the whole show here, or to hear

Teachers Meeting.

A very interesting meeting of the
teachers and patrons of the various
schools of Hagerman valley, was held
at Hagerman on March 9th at p. m.
with Prof. j A. Briggs as chairman.
The program as announced in the Jour
nal last week, was carried out with the
exception Of the paper by Miss War;
ington on primary reading. She had
prepared an excellent paper but sew
ere cold would not permit her to read
it. The papers were all we'll received,
but the presentation Of primary Lam
guage by Miss Vera Phelps was partic-
ularly helpful to the teachers present.
The solos rendered by home talent were
Of a high order and elected much APP
plause. The soloists were Mrs. DuSault
Miss Alma Middleton and Miss Arliss
MilIet. Miss Mamie Middleton presided
at the piano.
After the teachers program was COM
peted patrons and teachers were given
opportunity to discuss the matter of
the Capitalization of the Hagerman
valley schools. After quite thorough
discussion of the advantages to be de-
rived from Capitalization, in which
many Of the representative patrons of
the various schools interested took part.
The following motion was put before
the meeting and carried unanimously:
That it is the sense of this meeting of
patrons and teachers than the centrali-
cation OF the schools of district No. 80
(Hagerman) and adjoining districts is
for the best interests of all the districts
II was then decided to draw up
petition in duplicate for each of the fol-
lowing districts: Seven, eight. twenty
and thirty-nine. This being done a
patron from each district was selected
to carry the petition to each legal voter
ef his district for his signature, after
which the petitions will be presented at
the same time. TO the county commits

Improving Water Service.

City Clerk Culley will begin the
work of putting the reservoir and
pipe lines in suitable condition for
the winter, At Devils canyon the
filtering apparatus will be cleaned
out and some other minor improve
ments made. At the Soda creek in
Lake new boxes will be placed and
shut-off to the water line will be
put in. This will enable him to shut
off the large flow of muddy water
and during this time permit only
enough of such to come down as will
meet emergencies. The patrons along
Soda creek now get the full disadvan-

there is no way to prevent it. Mr..

City of Lights.

The title of THE City of Lights
will soon become bestowed upon Ida
no Springs if the present rate of pro-
gress along Illuminating lines is fol-
lowed out. This week the Seaton
Mountain Electric company has had
erected an elegant new sign at the
lower end of 10th avenue and as soon
as the letters can be placed in posi-
ton, the entire street will become
Illuminated throughout the night.
The management is expending a vast
sum of money in bringing the plant
up to a high state of perfection, and
can now see the near ending of the
improvements. But few people realize
the efforts being put forth and the
money expended by this company in
an endeavor to give this city the
best service, but visit to the plants

Investors Visit Camp.

Fl. A. Eiedel of Denver and Col. A.
J. Trone of Thibodaux, Louisiana
were in the city on Saturday having
with them as guests and also as Wis
itors to the mining properties of the
Banner Consolidated Mines company,
several of the most prominent and in
fluential gentlemen of Louisiana.
They were a whole-souled, generous
and hospitable party and their trip
here was enjoyed in the highest
degree. Among the party was Col.
Robert Ewing. publisher Of the New
Orleans Eaily States and also the
Shreveport Na.) Times. The colo
mel is also the democratic national
committeeman for the state OF Lou
isiana. Another member Of the par
ty was DR.. Hamilton P. Jones, State
Food Commissioner for Louisiana and
who is regarded as a way-up expert
in his official position. A third mem
ber was D.. Harvey Dillon, NJ. D., Pres
ident of the Louisiana State Board OF
Health and Vice-President of the Ma
tional and State Association and eZ-
officio State Food Commissioner
These gentlemen were in attendance
at the Pure Food convention and not
only succeeded in landing the vice
presidency but also In having New
Orleans selected as the next meeting
place of the National Association.
Judging by the courteous and genial
manner in which these gentlemen
from the great sugar producing state
do things, the delegates to the next
Association will have welcome and a
great big time handed to them in
great big chunks.
