FINE NEWSPAPER SERVICE.

The issue of the Lincoln County
Times published February IS was a
special edition designed to advertise
the great North Side particularly and
this portion of Idaho generally. The
paper is well illustrated and the matter

sired in the way of legitimate adver-
tising for this part of the country.
Publisher Alexander is to be eongrat-
ulated and thanked for this splendid
public service.

HOW THEY REAP WHERE
THEY HAVE NOT SOWN

From various localities throughout
the state come reports of disreputable
deals and trades, or rather confirma-
ton of deals and trades. where politi-
cal hucksters are reaping where they
did not SOW in the last campaign. The
cause of good government is never ad-
vanced by such methods, nor is any
permanent good to any political party
secured that way. A member of one
party advocating the election of a
member or members of another party
lis most apt to be a CRATER. whatever
his alleged political prediction.
A case in point is cited by the
Grangeville Globe, which says: Editor
Purcell of the Weiser Signal calls c.
0. Broxon, editor of the Boise Capital
News and private secretary to Cover
nor Alexander, a political traitor"
and then proceeds to p1ove IT by
showing that the Capital News, the
Bull Moose organ, which Broxon was,
and still is, editing, would not sup
port Paul Clagstone the Bull Moose
candidate, against Brady for United
States senator. He further asserts
that Broxon accepted railroad trans
portation on which to make his cam
paign as Bull Moose candidate for
state treasurer, from George A. Day
Republican state chairman, who has
been immune from all criticism by the
Capital News. In other words that
Day for a number of years had used
the Capital News as a personal organ,
Uhe same as Governor Alexander is
doing now through the appointment of
the editor, as his private sec
retary) but not in the interest of the
Republican party of which he is state
chairman, but simply fer his own per-
sonal interests, at the same time allow
ing it to abuse all other Republican
candidates with one exception, and
continue to assume the role of ''refor-
mer' and play fast and loose with
the Bull Moose party. This is GER
tainly beautiful state of affairs; one
that should delight the heart of every
honest man and woman in the state.

FORECLOSURE PROCEEDINGS UN-
DER DEFAULT BY NORTH SIDE
SETTLERS.
CASESAGAINST NOM RESIDENTS
ACTUAL SETTLERS, II IS SAID,
WILL NOW COME IN AND GET
ON LAND.

Suits to the number of about 1G0 in
foreclosure proceedings are to be fled
today in the district court against land
owners on the North Side Twin Falls
tracts. These are cases in which for
FIXTURES have been incurred generally
by resident purchasers of the land,
and by those who have not availed
themselves to the extensions allowed
by the company, payments being in
default five years. In most cases the
entries were made for speculative pur-
poses alone. The suits are brought in
Minidoka, Lincoln and Gooding
counties.
1t is believed that actual settlers
will avail themselves of the opportun-
ity now soon to be presented to ac-
quire these lands and develop them
at once, or as soon as the sales can
be completed and the titles determined.
The lands are situated, so it is under
stood, in all the several segregations
of the Twin Falls North Side Land
& Water company. from the first or
Eden segregation. to the Bliss or Clo-
yer Creek segregation. Thousands of
acres are involved in the suits.

The chances ATE ten to one that the
two Buhl editors. who have just been
arrested and compelled to answer in
the United States court for publishing
an advertisement OF lottery. made
the publication as IL free boost for
some alleged charity or benevolence.
Every day the newspapers are asked
to do such things. 1t is not only
wrong to advertise lotteries but it
ought to be made unlawful. as it is
unreasonable. to ask the newspapers
to give the free use oe their space to
any money making enterprise.
In the case of the s3uhl editors who
ran afoul of the lottery laws, W. L.
Squires and Jack White each entered
a plea of guilty. not knowing. how.
ever, that they had done any wrong in
publishing the announcement of a raf-
file. They probably thought the fellow
who had asked them to boost the
rattle with Il free write-up was the
guilty party. as indeed he was in the
mind of the over worked" average
editor.

House Agrees With Senate on Raising
Land Sale Limit.
For the second time the house on
Thursday adopted H. J. r. No. 3, pro-
posing a constitutional amendment
setting at a higher figure the limit

the approval of the voters at the
polls, will place the limit at 100 see
tions.
The change made by the senate
raises from 1sO to 800 acres the limit
of such land that may he sold to one
