Political Notes of Interest.

Boise, Oct 27.-The most interest
ing development in Carey Act matters
for many months was the receipt Of
patent from the Federal Govern
ment few days ago for 100000 acres
OF land under the North Side project.
With the exception of issuing patent
Tor the organized Twin Falls South
side project, the government has
been very slow to grant patent for
Carey Act land in Idaho.
The settlers have practically all
made final proof to the state and it
now remains for the state to execute
patents to the settlers to complete
their title. The state can now proceed
20 issue pantent to the settler.
The Big Lost River project may be
completed next year. The land board
has conferred with the Utah Con-
struction Company number of times
with view to entering into con
tract and terms have about been
agreed upon. The delay at this time
is due to the Construction company
not being able to purchase the land
for the dam site at satisfactory fig
ure. The company claims they are
being held-up If the present plans
3
be constructed at the original site
near Mackay, This is the dam over
which there was so much controversy
some years ago. 1t is expected to re-
claim 10000 acres.
Surety Company Slow.
The officers of the National Surety
Company are in Boise checking up on
the Bogart report to determine its
accuracy. Until their examination is
complete, it will not be known
whether they will settle in full for
the Allen and Coleman shortage as
found by Bogart or stand suit
Political Notes.
Judge Ailshe was a Boise visitor
during the week. His presence caus-
ed quite buzz politically. He de-
clared, however, that his visit had no
political significance. 1t has been
rumored that the Judge would at the
proper time enter the race for COVER
| nor, but he gave no intimation of the
| fact to friends here. 1t is considered
somewhat significant that Ailshie has
never taken the trouble to deny the
fact that he might become a candi-
date, in view of the fact that the
suggestion has appeared so frequently
in the press.
Since Judge Dunn held court in
Caldwell, and visited the capitol there
have been reports that he was an
aspirant for the supreme bench. He
was first appointed Judge of his dis
trict and has been reelected twice. 1t
is known that Chas. L. Hoffman also
aspires to the supreme bench, but he
has stated that he would not oppose
Judge Sullivan. Judge Carl Davis of
the Boise district will, it is reported
try for the supreme bench also.
1t is taken for granted that George
R. Barker, Secretary of State; John
w. Eagleston, Treasurer, and Miss
Mccoy, School Superintendent, will
be candidates for reelection.
General Peterson intends to open a
law Office at Pocatello at the close of
hrs term.
w. D. McReynolds, an ardent Bor-
ah Republican, secured the Federal
Court clerkship. His appointment
gives satisfaction.
Chairman Evan Evans of the Re-
publican State Central committee has
advised friends that he would be in
Boise about November |
