Wildcat" Law, a copy of
which is printed elsewhere in this
number ought to make some of the
promoters of mining schemes in
this state a little more cautious
about statements they publish in
their prospectuses.
The
it
The attention of Nugget has been
called to an advertisement of a
mining company in the Minneapo
lis Tribune containing representa
tives which should elicit a fraud
order from the postoffice depart
ment. The brokers are advertising
several hundred acres, nine miles
from Boise, in the vicinity of the
great Trade Dollar and DeLamar
mines, claiming 150 veins of gold
ore, running from $6 to $500 per
ton. and a lot more of such improb
able statements.
The conditions existing in the
city govern yient of San Francisco
are being proven even more rot
ten than they were found to be
in St. Louis three or four years
ago, with the addition that the
grafters have had a mayor to
stand in with them and instead
of having a political boss like Ed
Butler to put up the jobs for the
grafters to work, the mayor has
had a city attorney capable of
working all the aldermen, keep
ing the larger share of the spoils
himself. What a beggarly lot of
rascals nearly all of them have
been! But San Francisco has
found a Heyuey, as St. Louis
found a Folk, and there is a shak
ing up going on now- down by
the Golden Gate disturbing the
rascals more than last year's
earthquake seems to have done.
Judge Wood, with the consent of
the attorneys for the defense, has
granted a change of venue in the
trial of the Moyer-Heywood-Petti
hone cares from Canyon to Ada
county, and thus satisfactorily dis
poses of the contention that the ac
cused men could not get a fair trial
in the county where former Cover
Steunenberg resided and was
nor
assassinated.
However much we
may consider the honesty and fair
mindedness of the average citizens
of Canyon county beyond question
we must still concede that Judge
Wood was right in granting the (

change of venue,
been so much discussed wherever a
of men have come together

in any part of the county that it is
quite impossible that any citizen j
with sufficient intelligence to sit as
a juryman on a trial of such mo
mentuous importance has not be
come biased for or against the ac
cused men however fair he may
think himself capable of doing ex
act justice.
The county has been overrun
with agitators almost continuously
since the accused men were arrested
and literature intended to have a
bearing on the trials has been sent
to every home, moHt of it, it is true,
in the interest of the accused. For
this reason the prosecution, as well
as the defense, should be gratified
with the change.
When the trial will now come off
With such
remains a question,
able lawyers employed for the de
fense, if they find it to their interest
to have a speedy trial, the case may
come up soon, or if there be any
reasons why they may wish to have
it delayed, they will be able to find
legal causes for its postponement.
But it is the expressed wish of both
the prosecution and the friends of
the defendants that the trial may
be had with as little delay as prac
ticable. It is the most important
case that ever came before an Ida
ho court, and all that the people
demand is that it shall be fairly
tried and a just verdict rendered.
"Bonds" For Matrimony.
How manners and customs
change in a generation! In talk
ing with Congressman Green the
other day, he recalled the fact
that his mother and father were
married in Massachusetts and
his father was required to give a
bond of $125 before the ceremony
could be performed. If this re
quirement were enforced at the
present time, and every young
man who desired to enter the
blessed state of matrimony had
to prove that he was possessed
of $125 spare cash, it is to be
feared that many of our young
people would have little left to
purchase a housekeeping equip
ment. In those old days they
regarded marriage as something
more than a pastime, and enter
ed upon it as a real and serious
responsibility.—National Maga
zine.
New Duties for Commissioners.
The new law relative to county
commissioners requires their per
sonal visitation and inspection
of the public roads in their sever
a l districts, gives them authority
and control over district road
overseers, and provides for the
holding of special meetings for
the consideration of road ques
tions, and provides penalties for
failure on the part of the com
missioners to perform their du
ties as specified.
The commissioners shall meet
in special session on the second
Monday of May and September
J - 1
for the consideration of questions
pertaining to their new duties.
Each member of the board must
( submit a report of the condition
of the roads in his district; the
work needed thereon and an esti
a
mate of the cost to he incurred,
Any county commissioner who
is
j shall wilfully or negligently fail
to perform any of the duties de
scribed in the bill will be subject
ed to a fine of not less than $50
nor more than $200, to be re
covered upon his official bond by
action brought by the prosecu
ting attorney of the county
wherein the delinquent commis
sioner resides.
Opening of the North Side of
Twin Falls Tract,
April 22 has been set as the day
for opening for entry the first
30,000 acres of the north side of
Twin Falls tract, and the sale of
town lots at Milner, where the
great dam is located. This en
terprise intended to reclaim 180,
000 acres of land on the north
side of the river, is virtually un
der the same management as
was that on the south side, where
the water was turned into the
canals two years ago, and if it
be as great a success for both the
company and for the locators as
was the former opening, all the
parties ought to be satisfied.
Indeed there are many reasons
for believing that it will even be
a greater success. The manage
ment has an experience gained at
the former opening; it has even
some more desirable lauds than
the south side, because of their
southern exposure. But they are
segregated by a number of ridges
and low buttes, which added
greatly to the engineering diffi
culties of constructing canals so
as to cover all of the more desir
able lands. This problem has,
however, at length been solved
and the construction work will
shortly be begun.
It will not require a great
length of time to get water on
the 30,000 acres to be opened
next month, they being the east
end, next to Milner, where the
water is to be taken from the
great dam already constructed.
There are several reservoir sites
between this and the lower por
tions of the tract where water
can be stored to provide for any
shortage in supply.
The company will at once be
gin the construction of an electric
railway to extend from Milner to
Gooding, to be near the line of
the proposed canal,
enable the contractors to get
their supplies for construction to
points required, and he of great
convenience to locators.
We may look for a rush of set
tlers to this tract quite equal to
that which within the past three
years lias transformed the great
sagebrush desert on the south
side of the river into a region of
prosperous homes.
