LAND NOW OPEN
TO SETTLEMENT
GOVERNMENT PUTS 100000 ACRES
UNDER 320-ACRE HOME
STEAD ACT.
Will Be Opened to Settlement June l
Big Rush Expected in Sal
mon River Section.

LEWISTON, May 16.-(Special t.
The Star -Mirror.) THE Lewiston lant
office has just been advised that ap
proXimately IS townships, or 100000
acres of land in the Salmon and Snake
river districts, all located in Idaho
Lewis and Nez Perce counties, will bt
opened to entry under the 320-acre
homestead act on June l.
The larger district lies between the
Salmon and Snake rivers. The land
for years has been subject to the ole
160-acre act, but by its nature was
not considered desirable, where as un-
der the new 32O-acre act it becomes
especially adaptable to stock raising
| interests and will undoubtedly result
in encouraging extensive settlement
rush June 1.
The notification from the commits
sioner says:
terable under Secs. 1 to of the en-
larged homestead act in so far as they
may be vacant, public, non-timbered
and non mineral, and unaffected by
any special provisions of law, with
drawal or reservation, inconsistent
with the provisions of said act. The
surface of coal lands may, however,
be entered subject to the reservations
and conditions of the act of June %,
the proper notations on the tract
books and the margin of the plats in
your office, and promptly acknowledge
receipt of this letter. Your particu-
lar attention is directed to the fact
that this designation does not become
effective until June 1, 1914. Should
any application for enlarged home
stead entry for said lands be filed prior
to June 1, 1914, you will reject the
same, subject to the right of appeal,
the party that no rights are
gained by filing an application to
make enlarged homestead entry prior
to the date the designation becomes
effective"
Since the 32O-acre law was passed,
and subject to it has been quite eag
srly sought, but areas classified as
subject to such entry have been limit
I'd. The opening of the entire Snake !
liver and Salmon river district to
uch entry is step of vast Importance
n the development influences it will |
xert, and will vastly benefit Lewiston |
IS the commercial center for that re- |
zion.

SaItillo = Tuxpan Has Fallen

WASHINGTON, May 16.-Even if
Private Parks was murdered by Mex
lean troops there will be no reprisal
at present it was made plain on high
administration authority today. The
war department is furious and Secre-
tary Garrison privately declared that
the situation was grave.
Secretary Bryan however insisted
that the reported outrage was simply
another of series to be charged
against Huerta for settlement at the
final accounting. The president is
known to be supporting Bryan in the
latters determination that nothing be
permitted to interfere with mediation.
Silliman Safe Again.
The Brazilian minister at Mexico
City has notified Secretary Bryan that
John Silliman is safe and is due at
the capital today. The minister ex-
pressed the opinion that Sillimans de-
lay was due to the destruction Of the
railroad between Saltillo and Mexico
City.

ARR0WR0CK DAM GREAT
W. j. Mcconnell Visited Great Govern.
ment Project and Was Amazed
Mt It's Vastness.

Ex-Governor w. J. Mcconnell re-
turned a few days ago from Boise
where he went fortnight ago in con.
nection with his official duties as I'm
migration Inspector. The governor re-
ports pleasant journey and that the
country through which he passed looks
extremely we'll While in Boise, he
made a trip to Arrowrock to inspect
the great dam which the government
is erecting at the head of the Boise
river.
Even to the eyes of the layman, "
said the ex-governor, cit is at once
apparent that the dam is a wonderful
piece of engineering work and it is
perfectly evident that it is in capable
hands. The dam is 240 feet thick at the
base; when finished it will be 34S
feet high and 1900 feet long on the
top. The work is done by two shifts of
men. l looked it over at night when it
was all lighted by electricity, and it
was certainly beautiful sight.
81 was especially pleased to observe
the high class of men employed there
both as office men and as common
laborers. Nearly all of the office men
are graduates of colleges and are ex-
ceptionally fine, it appeared to me. The
laborers are far above the average
They are mostly married men and
seem intelligent, Industrious, and very
we'll behaved"

OSTRICH EGG BREAKFAST

Dr. and Mrs. M. w.

The egg was scrambled before being served. The centerpiece decorations included the ostrich egg shell surrounded by roses, while near by for comparison was hens egg. The invited guests were Rev w. l.. Summers, J. R. Pressly. Fred Clay, Harry Beardsley, Harry Mccormick, Miss Gene Smith, and Miss Helen Brack, who was home from Tempe where she is attending the Normal.
