RELIEF FOR HOMESTEADERS. In last week's Tribune was an article under the caption "A Good Law." Since its publication we have had several inquiries from in terested parties asking if the in formation thus conveyed was really law, as the oTicers of the Land Office at Boise City had no official knowledge of it. The "ar ticle in question was taken from the National Domain, a publication at Washington devoted exclusively to land laws, rulings and decisions. The tame issue says: "The act. as published, is a copy of that contained in the Congres sional Record, and may or may not be exactly the act passed. The law as signed by the president has not yet been printed." From this we would infer that the information conveyed in last week's issue is correct as a whole, but not positive as to detail. How ever, the Land Commissioner is now at*work 011 a circular explain ing the provisions of the new law, which will be issued soon. For the benefit of those who failed to note the importance of the article last week, a brief synopsis is given: That any person who has not heretofore perfected title to a tract of land of which he has made en try under the homestead law, may make a homestead entry of not ex ceeding one quarter section, such previous filing to the contrary not withstanding. That whenever it shall be made to appear to the register and receiver of any public land office, under such regulations as the Secretary of the Interior may prescribe, that any settler is unable, by reason of a total or par tial destruction of crops, sickness or other unavoidable causalty, to secure a support for himself or family upon the land settled upon, then the register and receiver may grant such settler a leave of ab sence from living on claim for any period not exceeding one year; such absence will not be deducted from the actual residence required by law. If this latter clause proves cor rect it will be quite a blessirig to settlers on our sage bru?h lands who have no water lor irrigation. Another section of the n^w law al lows homesteaders who have al ready secured title to less than 160 acres under the homestead law, or who shall hereafter acquire title to less than 160 acres under the homestead law, shall be entitled to enter as a personal right and not assignable by legal subdivisions of the public lands of the United States, so much additional land as added to the quantity previously so entered by him shall not exceed 160 acres. The person making such additional entry will have to comply with the homestead laws as to actual residence and cultiva tion unless the land so entered is contiguous to the original entry. Section 7 of the new law pro vides that final proof can be made within ten days following the day advertised as upon which final proof is to be made in cases where accident or unavoidable delays have prevented the applicant or witnesses from making such proof on the date specified. STATEHOOD. Elsewhere on this page will be found a proclamation of the Gov ernor of Idaho calling an election ft>r delegates to a constitutional convention at Boise City 011 July 4th.. A bill providing for this convention and the pay of its members failed in the last legisla ture, and the governor has called the convention ostensibly without pay, although the expense incurred will undoubtedly be met by future legislat ion. While to the casual observer the sentiment in favor of statehood would seem to be overwhelming quite an intelligent opposition on ih'j grounds of politics and increas ed taxation has sprung up in South ern Idaho. No matter what merit or demer it the statehood proposition may have the question is not now before the people in that light. An elec tion for delegates to a constitutional convention for Idaho has been call ed and will be held. Now, what are you going to do about it ? Shall a majority of the people of Idaho choose intelligent, honorable and conservative delegates for this grave charge, or shall an unscrup ulous minority choose their own tools to frame the document ? Whether a citizen believes in statehood or not cuts no figure in the election of delegates. That question will not properly come up until the document framed by the delegates is submitted for approval or rejection. If the constitution is adopted statehood will be granted at the opening of congress in De cember next—or at least such will be the case if the promises of con gressmen can be relied upon; if the constitution is rejected the whole statehood scheme is laid over in definitely. The Tribune believes that there is no other alternative than for every citizen—be he in favor of statehood or otherwise—to see that There are quite a number of ob jections attaching to the governor's proclamation and serious complica tions may arise at any time. For instance, who is to appoint the judges of election and vouch for their pay ? As we understand it there is no law that gives apy one any power in this direction. Un der the governor's proclamation the "grease" for the machinery will have to be donated unless the pat riotism of the people comes to the rescue. Last week Wednesday President Harrison threw the locality in In dian Territory known as Oklahoma oj e 1 to settlement. April 22 is the day fixed for settlement and all persons entering before that date will be ejected. Oklahoma proper has only 1,800,000 acres, but pur chases from the Indian tribes on the east have increased the amount open to settlement to over 0,000,000 acres. The government purchased these lands nearly a generation ago, for the use of tribes of Indians which were partly civilized. But the Indians did not settle them, and now, under pressure of the whites desiring settlement, it is opened for occupation under the national laws. There is room in the present territory for 40,000 householders, giving each 1G0 acres of land. Thousands of set tlers are anxiously awaiting the arrival of April 22d. The land can be taken only under the homestead law. | the very best men are elected dele Murat Ilalstead, editor of the Cincinnati Commercial - Gazette, whom President Harrison nominat ed Minister to Germany, was re jected by the Senate last Saturday by a vote of 25 to 19. Seven re publican senators voted against him. It is a cold day when D. P. B. Pride gets left. Colonel Shoup is the governor, but the irrepressible D. P. B. will have charge of the Boise assay office at about $2500 a year.—Hailey News-Miner. Edward J. Curtis has been re appointed Secrt arv for Idaho. Chicago elected a democratic mayor last Tuesday. In the Weiser city election la3t Tuesday, the ticket in favor of dis incorporation came out ahead. So says the Leader. GOVERNOR SHOUP. Last Saturday a telegram was re ceived from Washington stating that Col. GeOiX. SJjoup, of Salmon City, had been appointed Governor of Idaho, and later dispatches bring the cheerful news that the Senate has confirmed tho appointment. Thus Idaho again has a gov ernor appointed from her represen tative citizens. That the high standard of ef ficiency in territorial affairs attain ed by Gov. Stevenson, will be con tinued under Gov. Shoup, goes without saying. The following from the Boise Statesman will give recent arrivals in the Territory some in sight as to the character and ability of our new Governor: It is thirty years since Col. Shoup crossed the plains to make his home in the "Far West." He first opened a mercantile establish ment between Central City and Nevada in Gilpin county^ Colorado, in May, 1858. He soon became prominent, and having obtained the command of the Third Colorado, with his regiment fought the Indians who had been depredating along the Platte Valley robbing and murder ing emigrants, and at the battle of Sand Creek totally routing them under the command of .Black Ket tle, killing between five and six hundred. Since that time the savages have made no trouble on the plains East of the Rockies, Äid comparatively little in the moun tains. He struck them a blow as did Harney years before at Ash Hollow. A year or two after this battle Col. Shoup came to Idaho. His caraer here as a successful bus iness man is without a paralel in the history of the Territory. His sales at the house he has established in Salmon City amount to $1,000 per day for the year. He supplies all the towns below with goods, sending them away by means of Uatboats. He has recently con structed a large brick, fire-proof store building at a cost of nearly $100,000: His great business abil ity will come to his aid in discharg ing his duties as Governor, and the people, and particularly the tax payers, will reap the benefits result ing therefrom." On- Monday last there was much excitement in town over the rumor that Mr. G. W. Stoddard, who had but a few days before returned from Denver, had been taken to his bed with small-pox. Dr. Richter was called in and after an examina tion pronounced it to be a very mild case of varioloid. Guy Newcomb, foreman of this office, at once vol unteered his services as nurße, which were accepted. The patient is doing splendidly, and is hoped will soon be well.—Silver City Avalanche.

Stevenson, calling for an election of delegates to a con stitutional convention to be held at Boise City, the Capital of Idaho, on the 4th of July next, to draft a State constitution. PROCLAMATION. Whereas, It is desirablo that the Territory of Idaho be admitted into the Union as a State, and it has been clearly indicated by leading men of Congress of both political parties, that so soon as a sui-tabk) constitution is presented to Congress such admission will be granted: Now therefore, I,E. A. Stevenson, Governor of Idaho Territory, fully recognizing the great advantages which Statehood will confer, and in accordance with the fullv expressed wishes of the citizens of the Terri tory, do issue this my proclamation to the people thereof and recommend to them that they take the necessary steps for such admission: That for this purpose they hold throughout this Territory, on tho 1st. Monday in June A. D. 1889, an election for delegates to a. Constitutional Con vention to convene at Boise City, in said Territory, at 12 o'clock, noon, of the 4th day of July, A. D. 1889, for the purpose of framing a con stitution for the State of Idaho; that such constitution when so framed be submitted for adoption or rejec tion to a vote of the people at an election to be held throughout this Territory, at time hereafter to be provided for; and if adopted by tho people at such election, to be then submitted to Congress for ratifica tion, and the admission of this Terri tory, as a state of the union; that the qualification of delegates to such convention shall be such as are now required by the laws of said Terri tory for members of the Legislative Assembly of said Territory, and such delegates must take same oath office required of such members; that the election provided for shall be conducted, the retunrs made, the results ascertained, certificates to persons elected be issued and the qualifications for voters thereof shall be the same as now provided bv tho laws of said Territory for general elections therein. That said Convention shall bo composed of seventy two members apportioned as follows, to wit: Ada county, 9; Alturas. 6; Bear Lake, 1; Bingham, 7; Boise, 3; Cas sia, 2; Custer, 4; Lemhi, 3; Idaha, 3; Latah, 6; Kootenai, 3.

Stevenson, Governor, An Id ilio Lore Romance. Ketchum Keystone. W. A. Greek, a citizen of Logan county, realizing that it was "not good for man to be alone," has long been searching for a wife, but for some reason best known to himself he could not find one to suit among all the ladies of his acquaintance. So as a last resort he invoked the aid of a matrimonial agency and was placed in correspondence with a fair widow, who described herself as being very small, weighing only 105 pounds, and the mother of a two-year-old daughter. Being mu tually pleased with the descriptions of each other a meeting was ar ranged to take place at Soda Springs, on the 20th inst., and if either was dissatisfied the affair was to go.no further. But fortunately for Mr. Greek's fond hopes they were con vinced that they were made for each other. "Two souls with but a single thought." They proceeded to Shoshone where, last Monday, the nuptial knot was tied by the Rev. Mr. Zellar, and the blissful couple came up the same day to their homo in Bellevue to settle down and get acquainted. "Now comes the tug of Mr. J. C. Kempvan Ee, arrived here on Monday last from London, where he spent the winter. He is as lively as ever, and will, no doubt, make mining matters boom in this camp and in Rocky Bar during the summer. On Wednesday he visited tho Oro Fino mine and went through all its various levels aud winzes, and came down with a number of rich specimens that he had dug out of the mine.—Silver City Avalanche. We mentioned in the columns of the Statesman a few days ago that conductor Fred. M. Bliss, of the Idaho Central, had received a tele gram from from Iowa stating that his daughter was lying at the point of death and that he had gone on to see her. He did so, but when at Green River, he received another dispatch of a very encouraging na ture, so much so that ho retured on the next train, and is now perform ing his duties on the line between this town and Nampa as usual — Boise Statesman.
