ENLARGED HOMESTEAD DIES
DONATIONS.

The following paragraphs show
action taken by Secretary Lane dur
ing the past few weeks in designating
public lands under the enlarged home
stead act and in restoring withdrawn
lands. Additional information may be
obtained by those interested from the
United States Geological Survey or
from the proper local land Office.
Over $4,000 acres have been des-
ignated in the State of Idaho, the
lands being quite widely distributed
throughout the state and one large
compact body lying on the plateau
over Snake and Salmon rivers in Ida
no, Lewis and Nez Perez counties.
$4,000 acres in Montana have been
designated as subject to entry, under
the enlarged homestead act, the lands
being situated in a large number of
townships and located in nearly every
portion of the state.
100000 acres in Oregon have been
designated under the enlarged home
stead act, the lands being located in
a large number of townships, but all
situated in the more arid portion of
the state and the principal areas af-
fected lying in the basins of the Des
chutes and John Day Rivers.
10000 acres in Washington have
been similarly designated, being To-
Gated in the southeastern part of the
state, this action having been taken
at the request of numerous residents
in the locality affected who desire to
secure the benefits of the act.

mated in the state of New Mexico, a
large proportion of the lands affected
being situated in the northeastern part
of that state in Santa Cruz county,
although other portions of the state
are also affected.
100000 acres in the state of Colorado
have been designated, lying principally
in the Pueblo land district, in Pueblo
and Otero counties.
The applications of twelve petition
ers in the state of Idaho for the desig-
nation OF lands as subject to entry
under the provisions of the enlarged
homestead act, which excuse resi-
dence, have received favorable con-
sideration by Secretary Lane after in
vestigation by the Geological Survey
which developed the fact that a dom

GIRL BRIDE LOOKS

A flushed face and wistful eyes fol-

panied the sheriff down the street

was unable to raise $1,000 bond in
which he is held to answer, was all
the casual observer got of the heart
story of little l3-year-old Hattie V.
Barnum, since May 13-Mrs, Logan
w. Miller.
Throughout the preliminary hear
ing yesterday before Justice McNiel
which resulted in Miller's being bound
over to appear for trial before judge
in the district court, the girl bride
stood at the door of the Justices Of
hce, with one arm about her mother,
looking over the woman's shoulder at
her husband At times, as he turned
half in her direction, smile lighted
her face in anticipation of meeting
his eyes, but never did Miller make
any move indicating that he knew she
was anywhere about the building

there was no indication on her part

drama. She heard her sister, Mrs.
May Hemm, tell how the three of
them drove in a rig to Caldwell on
the afternoon of May Is, how she and
Miller obtained the license, how she
signed Hattie V. Barnum's name to
the affidavit that the bride was of
legal age-and many other of the first
questions put in prosecuting a charge
of perjury against her husband, re-
naming through it all as calm as
though she had been the veriest spec
tator.
But after the hearing was over and
the sheriff started down the steps with
his prisoner the girl bride ran to a
front window and never took her eyes
from them until they turned out OF
sight going to the interurban station
No word was spoken between husband
and wife and none saw him turn hi:
face to the smile which was ready fol
him or to acknowledge the child bride
in any action,
The preliminary was heard before
Justice McNiel and lasted more thar
an hour and half. County Recorder
Geo. Stovel was the first witness
called by County Prosecutor Henry

The father said he thought the girl
was IA years old, but he had not kept
any record of the ages and when the
mother was called she said the girl

THE RAISE WAS ONLY
FIFTY DOLLARS PER MONTH

The city council at its last meeting
increased the payroll of the city only
$4,000 per month. A night man at
$500 per month has been employed
right along so that the employment
of new man made no increase in the
payroll. Our attention was called to
this fact by Councilman c. @. Adams.

the owners of the "Wonderstone"
property which is located near Iron

He had with him a number of
piece of this wonderful stone which

Many of the pieces show a pre-
dominance of brown and yellow
tones, while in others the gra, is

petrified wood with it's series of
rings within rings.
The stone takes a higher polish
than marble, but it is essier to
work and yet fully as strong.

EASY EXPENSE MONEY

The way that some of our state
officials loot the state treasury by
putting in enormous bills for trav-
cling expenses, is a crime against
the taxpayers of the state. Here
are a few that have been put to
the State Board of Examiners, for
their approval, but are being held
up for the time being until the At
torney General can be present to
pass upon them. For one trip to
San Francisco, the bill was: Od-
die, $l25, Ross $500, Thatcher,
$3.50. We can't understand low it
is there is such a difference in
these bills as they all went together
on the same mission at the same
time. Oddie, Thatcher and Brodi-
gan, constitute the Board Of Evan
toner's, so when bills of this char
acter come up in which 0ddie and
Thatcher are directly interested
Brodigan's objections are ~overruled
as he is in the minority and he is
powerless. The Attorney General
is now on q trip to the eastern
states, to be gone for some time,
and the state will pay the bill, as il
always does no matter how extrav.

WOMAN DIGS WAY
OUT or JAIL

May Slaughter, who was arrest
ed about three months ago on q
charge of cattle stealing, made her
escape from the county Jail some
time last night by digging her way
through the brick wall. She re-
moved the bricks with a table fork
a~ndsmade an aperture about 12x18
inches in size, through which she
squeezed her body. She had torn
a blanket into strips and sewed the
ends together. This blanket, hang
ing through the hole, the other
end being tied securely to u sewer
pipe inside, showed how she reach
ed b ground.
Lying on a chair in the cell
which the woman had occupied, was
found the following note addressed
to D putty Sheriff Muller:
"Mr. Mailer: / hope you don't
feel hard against ma for taking my
liberty. / will come back for my
trial. Tie temptation was too
great.
May"
The woman had no difficulty in
digging through the wall, as the
upper part uf the cell is not lined
with steel and is used only for wo-
men prisoners, when there are any,
and at other times is occupied 10y
petty prisoners who are working
on the chain gang. The woman
has had the entire upper floor Of
the Jail to herself, and was not
locked IL q cell at night as are the
other prisoners. She took advantage
of this leniency shown to q women,
and il was no difficult matter for
her to dig her way to what will be
doubtless only temporary liberty.
Deputy Sheriff Muller hes sent
descriptions of the woman to all
points along the two railroads aud
telephoncd to all places in the
northern part Of the county. AS
she is we'll known throughout this
