title the company to foreclosure
liens on the water rights described
in the complaint.
As to the lien against the land,
Judge Davis holds: If the federal
government had no interest in the
land affected the complaint would
be sufficient also to justify the fore
closure Of lien on the lands de-
scribed. But congress has thought
proper to allow lien on the public
domain only under certain condi-
tions, and a complaint that does
not make the United States a party
defendant and does not allege facts
showing a compliance with the con-
ditions imposed by the federal law
Is not sufficient to state a cause of
action so a. to justify the forecloS-
ure Of a lien on Carey act land, title
to which is yet in the national gov
ernment.
Judge Davis concludes his rul-
ing with this paragraph:
The motion to strike will be de-
MED and the demurrer will be over
ruled as to the first and second
grounds thereof and viii be sustain
ed as to the third ground referring
to each cause of action. The plain
tiff will be allowed 10 days within
which to file an amended COM
piaint. y

WILL STILL GET SEEDS.

The congressman who take delight
in distributing little packets of seeds
free to their constituents will have
that privilege once more for the pro-
vision for the free distribution which
was knocked out of the agricultural
appropriation bill in the senate was
restored by the conferees and is in
the bill which was passed just be-
fore adjournment.
\ Rochester, y. V, paper is au-
thoriiy for the statement that last
year were distributed more than
325, 900 pounds Of corn, Ia, 600
pounds OF peas, 1872 900 pounds Of
radish, 1900 pounds of lettuce,
and from two to 10 tons each of 16
other kinds Of vegetable seeds. OI
flower seeds there were II, COG
pounds of sweet peas, ! | 600 pounds
Of naSturtium seeds and large
amounts of other varieties. Thes,
seeds made 80 tons in weight and
filled 2S freight cars. The congress
men get the whole amount for moth
ing and send the packets to theii
constituents with their compliments
If they had To pay for the seed
they would AT once see the folly q
the distribution and the custom
would be abolished in short order

The officers and members Of the
association here will fully appreciate
this manifestation of the approval
OF the interest taken by them in the
welfare Of the non resident as well
as the actual settler, and with a
strong organization perfected in the
city the members there can keep in
close touch with the doings of the
association here, and thus be in a
position to help lessen the burden
that has been carried by few her,

A PARTING SHOT.

As we intimated last week,
campaign like the one Just closed
is susceptible of more mud Singing
than political one, and for this
reason we chose to remain silent,
but the acknowledged CRATER that
processes to run the scurrilous sheet
at Shoshone known rs the Signal,
was not content to see things thus
and upon a small piece of paper
pasted on the inside of his sheet
stated some one told him that some
one said that each of the jerome
papers were given 500 each by the
wets to keep quiet on the question
Now this did not surprise us in the
least, coming from the source it did
but what did surprise us was tn,
fact that some of our pretended
temperance friends here would cir
culate the sheet among their friends
and by this act sanction such state
ments. We can only suggest to tn,
cur who penned the statement tina
the patronage enjoyed by the Time
does not. necessitate it accepting
hush money to keep it from starva
ton, and the writer of the falls
statement cannot earn hundre'
dollars any easier than to furnisl
the Times with an affidavit contain
ing the name of the party who CAV
him this information.

IMPROVED THREShING MACHINE

Grain is hereafter not To be
reaped, hut will be threshed in the
field as it stands, saving the farmer
something like 5000, 900, ,OOOa year.
This is the claim of Frank Morse,
who described in the Technical
World magazine the recent inven-
ton of kansan. The machine
has been used for three successive
harvests, hut proved its utility and
practicability most conclusively-last
fall when it threshed from twenty
five to thirty acres of standing grain
in ten-hour day. The inventor
contends that it will reduce the cost
of harvest from fourteen cents to
two cents 4 buShel.
\ machine of this kind says the
HALEY News Miner, was used last
fall on Lost river near Mackay 10y
Chase \. and Solon Clark, who had
about a thousand acres Of grain t.
harvest. 1t appeared to give salts
faction rs the entire crop was har-
vested with it.

WAS HANDED A LEMON.

In the transfer made between
Minidoka and Lincoln counties says
the Rupert Pioneer-Record, the new
county has fallen heir to a delin-
quent tax list, and thereby hangs a
tale. Several Of our citizens ascer-
tanned that their names were on this
list and at once began to examine
files, etc. only to find that 50 far
as reported and representative Of
this paper has called on something
like ten people that they had their
receipts, each Of which bears the
signature Of NJ. NJ. Mackey. A.
near as can be ascer,ained the
method of handling payments dur
ing Mr.. Mackey's term was peculiar
to say the least Instead Of the reg
ular notice being issued a specia
form was used and a carbon copy
made. When payment was mad,
the receipt was issued and credi
given on the proper tax roll but no
on the special form. 1t seemed tina
Minidoka county was handed al
original package in the shape of {
delinquent tax list taken from thes
special forms instead Of from TIN
regular tax roll. 1t j. very likel,
that there will be something doin

possible Ia avoid it. Lincoln count

One of the New York daily papers
very truthfully says. 1t ought
not to take the merchants of a small
town very long to find out that in
the parcel post he has friend and
not foe. Let him start an ener-
gctic advertising campaign in his
local papers and he will soon learn
that he can reach Il class of patrons
who were never in gunshot before
the parcel post came To town. This
means that rural journalism will
assume an importance that was
never known before.

ADDISON I. SMITH.

We have no criticism to make
upon the activities of our Congress
man in this matter, any further
than to state that instead of listen
ing to the solicitation Of the state
officers, he should have consulted
the wishes of his constituents in this
section, before urging this matter SO
strenuously. Had he taken occa-
sion to consult the records of the
Interior Department he would have
found ON file a protest from the set
tiers on this tract against the issuing
of patents which was filed little
over a year ago, together with other
correspondence touching upon tins
matter.
The record of the state author
tiles in Carey Act matters shows
that they have been too willing t'
listen To the entreaties of the irrl.
CATION companies. without consult
| ing the settlers, who are directly in
terested. and these actions ON thell
mart has been the direct cause O
much of the hardships endured 10y
