IDAHO LAND
To BE SURVEYED
Development Has Been Retarded By
Slowness Of Government.
sll5,OOO Is NOW AVAILABLE

five Men.

A law passed at the last session
of congress provides for rapid and
extensive land surveys in Idaho,
and 1T is thought that the entire
state will be surveyed before the
expiration of another decade. The
settlement and development of the
state has been considerably retard-
ed because of the slowness with
which the government survey Of
public lands has been prosecuted.
Up to the present time only one
half of the total area of the state
has been officially surveyed, the
unsurveyed portions being chiefly
in northern, western, central and
eastern Idaho. Because of this
condition title has not yet been Sc
cured for some of the rich lands of
the state that have been settled
for 30 years. Settlers have hest
tated to locate in other parts OF the
state because lines were not official
and title might be indefinitely de-
layed,
The new law provides that sur
veys be prosecuted under the d.
rection of the state surveyor
general, who will report directly to
the authorities at Washington, D.
c., instead of under the old con-
tract system which proved to be
very slow. An appropriation Of
$4,000, for the year beginning
July /, 1910, is available for i'm
mediate use, and civil service ex.
aminations are being held in q
number of western states to secure
the rs men that are to be placed
in the field. Immediate relief il
to be given to the unsurveyec
settled portions of the state, and
it is thought that the entire state
can be surveyed within the mex

At The Scenograph Next Week

The LaMott Comedy Company
opened a three nights engagement
at the Baltic hall last evening.A
fair sized audience greeted them on
the opening night, but it is safe to
predict the house will be packed to-
night and Saturday night. Those
who attended last night were well
pleased with the entertainment put
up by the company, every body pro-
nouncing it much the best show
ever, given in Baltic. Mr.. LaMott
in his Irish, "rube" and blackface
specialties kept the entire audience
in a constant uproar of laughter.
His dancing was also a pleasing
feature of the program. Mrs. LaMott,
pianist, is an adept at instrumental
music, and her work elected much
favorable comment. The show
throughout is clean and meritorious,
and withal exceptionally mirth-
provoking. The troupe is composed
of perfect ladies and gentlemen,
people whom it is real pleasure
to meet and know, and they put
forth their very best efforts to enter
tain and please their audience,
hence their great success. Baltic

CAPTURED CONFESSED SLAYER
"He Started for the Rifle, but ! Beat
Him to It," Said Woodchopper.

Libby Mont. Feb.7-(Special. y
AL McGouin, the suspected slayer
of woodchopper near Troy, about
two weeks ago, was arrested on
Sunday by Sheriff. Frank Baney
and is now in the county Jail at
Libby. The man was located in
cabin about 10 miles from Leonia,
near the Idaho Montana line,
where he had been hiding since
the killing.
Since the murder was committed
the sheriff has kept up an active
search for McGouin, on one occs-
sion walking from Bonners Ferry
to Troy in order to interview all
the track walkers and other resi-
dents to ascertain if they had seen
anything of the man. From infor-
nation which he picked up on this
trip Sheriff Baney was satisfied
that Nc Gouln was in hiding some
where near Leonia, and he kept up
the search until the man was locat-
ed.
McGouin was occupying an old
cabin which had been abandoned by
some prospector, about mile and
half from the railroad track and
so located that it made almost an
ideal hiding place.
McGouin admitted to Sheriff
Baney that he killed the wood
chopper, whose name he does not
know and which has not yet been
ascertained. He claims, however,
that the killing was in self-defense,
and tells quite straight story con-
corning the affair.
They had been drinking, he says,
and got into a quarrel after reach
ing the Thomas cabin, His partner
started for rifle which was in the
cabin, according to his story, but
he beat him to it and shot him.

with a pantomime sketch, which
was very cleverly carried out.
Immediately following this the
club girls opened the dancing pro-
gram, by giving an exhibition barn
dance in the center of the hall.
The girls made very pretty pic
ture, dressed as they were, in their
new sweaters-blaok with orange
emblems-over white gowns.
The stage was fitted up very
costly, and card tables were ar
ranged for those who did not care
to dance.
Lunch was served during the
evening in the refreshment room,

charge.

Pageant of London. triple enter
tainment which is to be held at the
Crystal Palace between May and
October, promises to add a memora-
BILE and historical chapter to the
story of coronation year. The recon-
structed program far exceeds
anything that was contemplated
when the original scheme came
into being.
There are, first of all, to be vivid
representations of the scenery OF the
British possessions over sea, while
the daily life of the settlers will be
portrayed in a way that will
be both lifelike and pic
turesque. An overseas club
also will be established in the
grounds,of which visitors from the
colonies will be made honorary
members.

In connection with the pageant
of London, these will be enacted
historic scenes OF the empires

has prepared twenty-four episodes,
eight of which will be represented
daily in the open air amphitheater,
designed by Sir Aston Webb,R. A.
This pageant promises to be one
of the greatest historical spectacles
ever witnessed, for no effort is
being spared to make the scenes
accurate representations of events OF
the various periods selected. An
idea of the magnitude of the work
connected with the preparation OF
this pagant may be gathered from
the fact that, in order that every
detail of the costumes for the Is,
1000 performers might be accurate,
a research committee was formed
whose duty it was to trace, in the
various museums and private
houses, old masterpieces and tapes
tries portraying characters and
scenes in the stirring times of long
ago.

All the principals, and there are
many hundreds of them, will b'
clad in the richest satins. silks
and velvets, adequately to render
the dignity of the characters they
are impersonating. To make thu

armory has been established at tn
palace, where big staff of work
men are daily engaged in turning

TARIFF.

The tariff seems to be the para
mount issue in this country in
each presidential campaign. There
are no free trade countries. We
speak of England as a free trade
country but if you attempt to
land at one of her ports with
precious stones, cigars, perfumes
and other things you will soon
discover that she has a tariff. A
tariff may be levied on every ar
ticle imported into a country.
This would seem to be a very
fair way to levy a tariff, being
in the nature of a license, by

seeing their home state magnifi-
Gently represented. Some of the
best space in the Dig coliseum
where the show vii be conducted

ka exhibits. There will be a spe-
cial Nebraska STATE Day, and
nothing will be lett undone to
show up the resources of the
state To tic best advantage.
The regents of the University
Of Nebraska have decided to as
somble an exhibit designed to
show the advantages and vast re-
sources of the state. Besides
this big general exhibit there will
be a large number of individual
county displays. Indications are
that every section of Nebraska
will be represented at the Land
Show. Already a number of
western counties are arranging
for space in the coliseum, and
more will be heard from as soon
as the individual communities
know what to send tor exhibition
purposes.
The people from all over the
west will be especially interested
to know what Nebraska has to
offer, and the object is to make
the best possible showing. Gen
eral Manager w. Q. Paisley, who
has just returned from a tour of
several western s states, says that

TELEPHONE 226.

We frequently see the name of
j. II. Morehead mentioned in our
exchanges as a candidate for
governor of the state of Nebras-
ka. Mr. Morehead has lived in
this county for many years. If
the worth of a man is indicated
by the esteem of his neighbors
and business associations, then
Mr.. Morehead's rank is very
high. Last November as a can
didate for State Senator, he car
ried this county by a majority of
nearly 800. He filled the office
of county treasurer two terms.
In Barada township where he
began his business career in this
county, the vote for him is all
but unanimous for anything he
wants. Mr.. Morehead has been
successful as teacher, business
man, banker, farmer aud stock
grower. He would go to the

then charge it up to the ultimate

All new countries need such a
tariff. Without this tariff our
