The joint effort Of Senator Borah
and Representative French in adj
vancing the thIee-year homestead
bill appear to have advanced to a
condition that justified the opinion
that the matter will soon become
FINISHED legislation" It win be re-
membered that identical bills were
introduced in the two Houses by the
Senator and Representative, and the
Senate has already passed the Leas-
ure. Mr.. French has repeatedly
appeared before the Committee of the
House, and few days ago secured
a favorable report, which causes him
to express the belief thatthe Leasurs
will be enacted into Law within very
short time. The new rivers and
harbors bill, as framed, contains the
appropriations asked for in the bills
introduced by Representative French
for an examination of the ST. Maries
and St Joe Rivers, as well as the
Kootenai. The sum of SIS 900 is
also included as asked for by Mr..
French in addition to the $4,000
already unexpended in the fund for
the Improvement Of Snake River.
Western members, who have been
attracted by the above line Of &C
complishments, are not at all slow
IN congratulating Mr.. French upon
the wonderful benefits that he has
been able to secure since he returned
to congress only few months ago,
and it is pointed outthat his success
proves that hard work and painstak-
ingappication to details gets more
in the way of real results IN Congress.

The two-story residence in North
east NeEperce occupied by DR.. 0. A.
JeHerys and family and owned by
Stephen johnson Of Lordsburg, Cal
ifornia, was totally destroyed BY FIRE
last Friday morning about 2 80.
The FIRE originated in the attic from
a defective fue, and when discovered
was 50 far advanced that none Of
the furnishings and articles stored in
the upper rooms could be saved. but
practically all the contents Of the
lower story we're removed without
being damaged.
The fact that the house was be-
yond reach of water from the city
mains made efforts to save it practi-
cally useless.
No insurance was carried on the
building, but the contents we're in
sured and DR.. Jefteys has already
received check to cover his dam
age.
The Doctor and family have rent
ed a suite of rooms on the second
floor Of the Union State Bank build
ing where they will reside until they
have a new home built, sometime In
the coming summer. IL

morning, was shot through the left

in Pueblo Chieftain

Referring to the article which appeared
in the Pueblo Chieftain of April 9th,
whish stated that complaint had been
made against the age~vW Wells-Fargo
& Co. Express by one of the Rocky Ford
seedsmen, and that this complaint was
unfounded, will say we are informed
that this article was written by this
express agent. The facts are four seeds
men were interested in the complaint
which set forth that the agent of the
Wells Fargo Express company was
turning over to one seed company all
inquiries and orders which came to him
in his position as agent. Letters were
submitted in evidence and the agent
admitted having turned ever all inquiries
and orders received the past year to this
| one company.
Mr.. Payne. superintendent of the Wells
Fargo & Co. Express, advised the seeds
men that the position of the company
was neutral and that hereafter all seeds
men would be referred to in reply to
inquiries;that this was a point which
should be well understood by agents and
that it would be the purpose of the Wells
Fargo & Co. Express to see that there
was no further cause for complaint.
