In a Different Position.

The present state land board is |

labors have been more continuous

ers
The fundamental policy of all the
state land boards has been to assist
In the development of Idaho. In
carrying on this work, the magnitude
OF which few people understand, in
volving the handling OF our great
Carey act projects and an enormous
loan business, 1t is not surprising
that mistakes have been made, espe-
cially In relation to the Carey act
projects.
But these have not been errors
alone of the various land boards.
They have been common mistakes,
participated In by lawmakers, by
bondholders. by promoters, by con-
struction companies and even by set
tiers.

perils Of Mountain Mail Carrying.

Perils of Mountain Mail Carrying.
Little do the people along the rail-
road lines realize the dangers that
befall the mail carriers on the noun
tain routes, and the risks they take
in delivering Uncle Sans mail to |
the residents of the remote mountain |
districts. The HALEY News-Miner |
OF last week, gives some idea OF this
hazardous occupation, in the follow
ing:
Z. T. Cherry, the Ketchum-Nie Jenna
mail carrier, left for the former town
on Sundays northbound train. He
fully expected to make the trip as far
as the Russian John ranger station
that afternoon, and to reach the Vi
emma mines Sunday evening.
He carries the mail and small par
cells on a dog-sled, travelling himself
on skis. He says the snow is dry and
light and his skis sink several inches.
Mr.. Cherry has a large hound that
easily pulls 10 pounds to the top OF
the Galena summit When he began

, but the other two could not stand
