SENSATIONAL TESTIMONY
To BE Produced in the Camas
Prairie Controversy

The Boise Statesman of recent date
says of the Camas Prairie row: That
the federal grand jury which is to meet
in this city on March 20, will see the
unearthing of scandal involving crook
ed dealings in attempts to get hold of
land in the Camas prairie district, the
like of which this state has never seen
the like before, is the opinion of Jo-
seph L. Peterson of Haley.
There is another side to this story
than that which has been brought
out, y says Mr.. Peterson at the fed
erai building. 1T is true that certain
entryman in the Camas prairie country
have given certain land sharks to un.
derstand that if they do not leave the
country and cease meddling with the
entrymen's rights that they will be
given tar and feather treatment.
But the other side of the case has
not been told, how land sharks hang
around the country waiting for any
chance to pounce on lands of widows
and orphans, if they can find loop
hole by which they may make good
their claims.
"This state of affairs has been going
on for the past three years and the en-
trymen have finally become tired and
have concluded to see to it that these |
sharks are driven from the country.
Of course, there have been many others
likewise driven out, but these have in
every instance been associated with
those with whom the end justifies the
means in obtaining land. In MANY in
stances the entrymen are doing their
best to get water on their lands, and
often this is impossible right at this
time. They will get it as soon as they
can.
These conditions prevail in many
other sections of the state, where there
S not the slightest trouble, because
here are no land sharks always on
land to take advantage of any slight
'r alleged technical failing.
''The entrymen have not been heard
n this matter yet. Kentucky night
ider' methods have been employed in {
! mild degree and with telling and de- a
irable effect, as many who worked day t
nd night on their claims and who have i
ater proved up, and have now clear
tile to them, were only saved through S
he intimidation of would-be confess n
ants. b
'It is true that there are scores of e
esert land entries which are open to il
ontest, and these may be contested a
Accessibility and without fear of mo- a
station at the hands of the entrymen it
hose bread and butter and the bread Il
nd butter of their families depends on II
lie land The trouble comes when
cans of questionable character are fc
nployed to take away claims, titles tt
which have slight technical flaws in in
EN-, and which are overcome just as as
on as getting water can bring about wi
e result. al
"All this and much more will be W.
ought out before the gra d jury" in

has been given 10 the proposition Of separating the duties Of the postal in spectors so that they will have charge only of civil matters, leaving inc criminal phases of the matter to the inspectors of the department of jus tiee It is said now that it is un- likely the committee will recommend such a change in the system.
 p. O. Politics
 Politics in the appointment of post masters is another matter that the house committee has given attention 10. lt has been charged by respon- sible persons for years that many of the postmasters of the south and west have received their places for political considerations and that it has been pOss6 bic. as Q result, for the department to build up and keep in operation a powerful political ma chine. Just what the committee has found along tnls line has not been disclosed.
 lt is stated, however. that SO far the committee itself has not divided on partisan lines Many votes have been taken, but freedom from party con alterations have been the rule up to this time.
 With the report of the house com mittee. three sets Of recommendations win be before congress for cOnsidera- tion in legislating Tor the postofiice department , The <Hughes commis- sion's findings will, of course play part in the reorganization, if there is one, and the senate committee of postofiices and postroads has a report of its own to present. Between the three, congress will have plenty of postal reforms to pass judgement up- on.

the Industry on Siashlno OF
= Prices BY Republic Co.
NEW YORK, May 29.-Whether
there Is to be price war In the steel
trade, which will affect every article
of manufactured iron and steel, will
be decided within the next "a hours.
Judge K. H. Gary, chairman OF the
board of the steel trust, who came TO
New York today from Chicago and
conferred with his associate trustees.
He was accompanied here by e. j.
Burlington, president Of the Illinois
Steel Co., and other trust officials.
When the steel trust has decided
upon a course of action II will get in
touch with the independents, except
the Republic Company, which started
the price cutting, and concerted
plan of action 10 expected to be
agreed upon. Gary does not want q
general cut in steel prices. He thinks
IL the various companies meet the
cuts on the articles manufactured by
the Republic II will be enough. But
the other men are more aggressive.
They counsel slashiHg every thing
including steel rails and permitting
all "gentlemen's agreements" 10 be
abolished until next fall.
Actual competition In the steel
trade, they say, might prevent suits
against the United States steel Cor
poration under the Sherman anti
trust law.
Judge Gary will testify before the
s anley congressional committee
Thursday Today he refused to dis
cuss the testimony given by John W.
Gates on Saturday when Gates show
