Ship Ore From Great Eastern.

The j. Alexander Company Tuesday
received a shipment of one thousand
ore bags, which the company has sold
to j. L. Eckert, of Cottonwood, one Of
the owners of the Great Eastern Mine,
located at Pittsburg Landing, on the
upper Snake river, about seventy-five
miles from Lewiston. The sacks will
be used for shipment of ore to be i'm
mediately made from the mine.
The Great Eastern mine was located
a number of years ago and is one of
the best properties of the upper Snake
river districts. Several years ago, q
large quantity Of ore was taken out,
when plans were made for steamboat
to. go there to receive the shipment.
The trip, however, was not made and
the ore has remained on the beach, the
sacks long since decaying.
The placing of the big gasoline
launch, Prospector, in service has now
made possible the bringing out of the
ore. The ore carries values in copper
and gold and if the smelter test proves
what is expected, the development will
likely result in opening the property on
an extensively Sales.--future.

Rowland Retains Claim.

The contest suit instituted by the
government against Willis Rowland to
annul his homestead entry made in
1908, on the grounds that prior to the
submission of proof the entryman sold
in direct violation of the United States
laws, the standing timber on the place
which is located on the Salmon river
near the town of Whitebird, is recon-
mended for dismissal by the register
and receiver ON the grounds that Row
land has lived on and never left his
homestead, and that he has carried on
extensive cultivation of the same. in
places where he had cleared away the
timber. Testimony in this case was
heard before Justice Chadwick at
Grangeville. In his defense Rowland
states that he cut away the timber in
order to make cultivation of the land
possible, and that if he was guilty of
any violation of the law it was unin-
territorial and unknowingly. The de-
cision rendered sets forth that the spec
ial agent of the interior department
was conscientious in his duty, but it
was surprising to note that the chief
of the field division saw fit to prose-
cute the entryman on a mere technical
violation of the law. 1t is recommends
ed that the contest be dismissed and
final certificate be issued and the en-
try pass tc patent. The defendant was
represented by Judge James De Haven.

Some Shortage in Crops.

The writer made trip covering a
number of miles over in the reservation
country this week and had an excel
lent opportunity to judge the crop pros
poets. On account of the lateness of
the spring the acreage is much less than
former years and as consequence the
usual amount Of grain from that section
will fall short 25 per cent or better,
Fall and winter grain looks fine but
the spring crop is not very flattering
However, Idaho county grain has the
popularity Of making heavy yields and
growing rapidly and often what does
not look at all encouraging at his time
Of the season comes out all right.
