'49" UNTIL FEBRUARY End

That big event you've been waiting
for. THE Days of 49," announced last
week for Monday. January both, has
been postponed till Friday evening,

This postponement is necessary due

would depart from Boise barracks next
Saturday morning and reach Lewiston
Sunday in time to connect with the
regular afternoon train to Grangeville

The mans of the committee appointed
some weeks ago to arrange a reception
for the home coming soldier lads in
cludes n brief welcome on Sunday
evening and the reception proper. with
hanauet, ball. and other festivities on

INDIAN WAR PENSIONS BILL
HELD UP in CONGRESS
BY DISAGREEMENT
Two Houses Disagree As Scope of the Measure and as
Consequence the Old Indian Fighters
Suffer.

Mrs. j. II. Adkison is In receipt of a
letter from Congressman Addison I.
smith III reply to an inquiry by her
regarding the Indian War pension bill
III which she is interested as widow,
MT. AdklSon having served as a volun-
teer in the NeZ Perce Indian war of
1871. 1t will be remembered that 1t
was reported at one time that the bill
nad become law, but such was far
from the case, a bin having passed
each OF the houses but I'm a different
form, and with such vital differences
tnat they apparently cannot easily
be harmonized. Congressman Smiths
letter to Mrs. Adkison reads as follows:
My dear Friend:
Replying to yours of the 31st, ultimo,
| regret to say that the bill to pension
indian War Veterans and their widows
has not yet been presented to the Pres
ident for his signature. as the Com
mittee on Conference has failed to
agree on the differences of the two
houses. The house declines to accent
the amendments offered by the senate.
and the senate declines to allow the bill
to pass without the provisions, which
it inserted. l still feel hopeful that
the bill will be agreed upon and receive
the Presidents approval before con-
gress adjourns.
Dispatch from Washington, ID. c.
under date of January Is, in dealing
with this important bill says:
Washington. Jan. Washington
Bureau of the Journal. In its travels
along the legislative road the Indian
war veterans pay wagon has stuck
in rut The drivers have begun to
lash the horses once more in a strenu-
GUS effort to pull it out
one deeply imbedded plank is caus-
ing most of the trouble. 1t is known
as the Smoot amendment. The pur-
pose of this amendment is to pay pen
sions to survivors and the widows of
survivors of the Black Hawk cam
paign in Utah in 1866, which becomes
of prime Importance to Senator Smoot
of Utah
Both houses passed the bill at the
last session, but in different form
The senate added to, enlarged and lib
eralized. 1t reduced the minimum
service required to receive benefits
from 80 days to 30 days, and it ad-
ded the Smoot amendment. This pro-
vides, in effect that where no record
of service can he found i'll the fed
eral rolls, the state archives may be
resorted to for proof.
This, it is cpntended, would estab-
lish a new principle in pension legis-
lation and become IA dangerous prece-
dent Since the days of the Revolu-
tion the government has refused to
allow pension except where service
could he shown by the records at
Washington. If soldier has been
regularly mustered into the national
service. the war department rolls show
it. If not mustered in, but the nation
al government has recognized the ser
vice by some reimbursement to the
state, that fact appears in the records
of the treasury department.

avail to show the campaigning done
by the Utah militia organizations in
1866. At that time there were many

wren g Greenough Of Fem,
Dispose Of $4,000
Bushels.
BROUGHT $l.55 PER
Produced on 00-Acre Ranch
Only Tractor Power Used
in Operations.

According to the Spokesman Review
If last Thursday, Thomas Wren sold
the wheat last week raised on his
mammoth farm between Grangeville
ard Denver, for $4,000. The amount
disposed of was $1,000 bushels and the
nrice received was $1.55. Messrs. Wren
d Greenough, who were the contract
ors who undertook the herculean task
Of putting through the High Line from
Lewiston to Grangeville, In 1907, climb
ing within short distance from 800
feet above sea level to practically
1000. and passing through seven tun-
nels, became enamoured of Camas
Prairie as soon as they reached this
fertile plateau, and at once invested
ed extensively in land in the vicinity
of Denver. The land has doubled in
value since then, anu they have never
had cause to change their good opinion
Of the country or regret their invest
ment. II. j. Kressly is manager of the
big ranch, in the absence of Mr.. Wren,
and evidently understands his bust
ness. The Spokesman Review says of
the matter:
Thomas Il. Wren, director of the Old
National bank and the Union Trust
company, yesterday sold $1,000 bushels
Of wheat for approximately $S5,O00. He
averaged $1.55 a bushel for the entire
lot which was sold in bulk, making
the net price even better than the fig
ures indicate, as there win be no ex-
pense for sacks.
The grain was grown on his 2S00-
acre ranch on Camas prairie, near
Fem, Ida. Mr.. Wren now in Boise.
Business associates of Mr.. Wren are
Of the opinion the wheat was mostly
fall grain. -Four buying concerns Sc
cured portions of the grain-the Kerr
Clifford company, the Vollmer-C Clear
water company, M. III. Hauser & Co.
and the Miller. Milling Company of

Mr.. Wren operates what is regarded
as a model ranch. He uses tractor
power In his operations and employs
combined harvesters. During the last
year he built his private elevator at
fenn station. 1t is declared his hand
ling costh as been cut to the lowest
point IN the Inland Empire.
Mr.. Wren also raises pure-bred live
stock. He has 30 head of blooded Per-
eherons in addition to many head of

TWOENABLINC
ACTS BEFORE
LAW BODY
Adoption of Either Measure
Would Prevent Formation
of New Counties.

Two enabling acts providing for the
creation and organization of new
counties have made their appearance
in the lower house of the legislature.
One was introduced Thursday by A.
b. Lucas of Adams; the second, faith
cred by Cecil II. Peckham of Canyon,
made its appearance Friday.
The Peckham bill Is looked upon as
an administration measure.
There is but little difference be-
tween the two bills.
Provides $2,500,000 Valuation.
The Peckman bill makes it neees-
sary for any portion of an old county
wishing to secede to get three-quar-
ters vote of the people living In the
new county 10 he formed. Under its
terms mo county can be formed unless
ii has d property valuation of $2,500,-
600, and leaves property to the value
OF S5,W0000 in the county out of
which II is created. Neither must the
assessed property valuation in the
parent county he reduced to less than
50 per cent
New counties formed under the
Peckhanl act must contain at least
100 square miles, but boundary lines
must NOT approach nearer than II
miles the county seat of any other
county without majority vote from
the people of the county affected
Petitions requesting the creation of
new county must be signed by at
least one-half of the voters living in
the territory which wishes to secede
under the terms of the Peckham act.
Must Have $5,000,000.
The lucas bill makes ii necessary
for new county to get 65 per cent
of the total vote cast by the people
of the territory seeding from the
parent county. Petitions asking the
organization of county must he
signed by 90 per cent of the voters.
Counties created under the terms
of the l. 4ucas bill would have to have
400 square miles and contain a prop
erty valuation Of $5.000,O00 and leave
In the parent county a property val
uation Of $4.000,000
There are now pending before the
Legislature several bills creating new
counties. Should either the Peckham
or Lucas bill pass the legislature be-
fore county division bills now ON the
calendar are acted upon. it would
