Will Enlarge Boise Barracks.
There Is no longer any question but
thn.t Boise barracks Is to be a bat
talion cavalry post. Since his return
from Idaho, Taft has recommended a
further appropriation of $195,750 to
erect a new barracks and his recom
mendation has been approved by the
secretary of the treasury and sent to
congress today.
The war department recommends
the following appropriations: Quar
ters for commanding officer, $14,500;
four sets of quarters for company of
ficers, $38,800; six sets of quarters for
non-commissioned officers, $22,500;
band barracks. $15,000; four cavalry
stables, $68,000; one band stable,
$16,500; two double cavalry stable
guard and shop buildings, $6500;
granary, $8500; hay shed, $4850.
The secretary of the treasury also
recommends $15,000 for the Moscow
pubic building: $10,000 for th,e re
moval of the Lemhi Indians to Fort
Hall, and $10,000 for the first pay
ment to the Lemhls. Bo'lse Statesman.
The large Montana ranch now
owned by A. D. Stlllman was pur
chased by the Pendleton lawyer from
a man who has the distinction of hav
ing been President Roosevelt's part
ner In the cattle business while the
strenuous execut'vo was In . the west.
A. W. Merryfleld Is the name of the
former partner, and he Is the only
one the president ever had while In
the cattle business.
Since his advent Into Montana Mr.
Stlllman has heard much from Mr.
Merryfleld regarding the latter's as
sociation with the president, for the
cattleman Is proud of the connection.
It was In the early '80s that the part
nership was formed In North Dakota.
At that time Theodore Roosevelt, lit
tle known to fame, was In the west
for the benefit of his health. Being
possessed of the Idea that there was
money In the cattle business he of
fered to form a partnership with
Merryfleld, he to furnish the capital
while Merryfleld suppl'ed the exper
ience and did the work. The sum
of $36,000 was furnished by the east
ern partner and this amount was
turned Into cattle.
For several years the firm of
Roosevelt & Merryfleld prospered,
and their cattle increased In numbers.
Each summer Mr. Roosevelt and
some friends would come out from
the east to hunt and pass a few
months upon the Dakota ranch. But
during the hard winter of '86-7 the
range cattle of Dakota suffered bad
ly, and in the following spring the
herds of Roosevelt & Merryfleld had
been converted Into bone heaps. The
partnership was then dissolved and
Merryfleld came west of the Rookies
to commence business anew. He sot
tied on the Stlllman ranch near Knlls
pell and remained there'until bought
out by the Pendleton man a few
months ago, .
Friendship Sllll KvlstM.
When Mr. Roosevelt ran for pres
ident two years ago his former cat
tle partner was one of the electors
chosen in Montana. He then secured
the privilege of carrying the official
returns from that state to the capital
of the United States. While there the
old acquaintance with the president
was renewed and the executive prom
ised to name Merryfleld ns United
Slates marshal for Montnnn. The ap
pointment is now expected daily and
will doubtless be sent to the senate
within a few days. When he sold his
ranch to Mr. Stlllman Mr. Merryfleld
gave his anticipated appointment as
one of the reasons for selling. Upon
receiving his appointment He will
have to make his residence In HeleWa.
In the copper state the United
States marshal does not rest In a bed
of political roses as in this sovereign
ty, but Instead of the same his path
Is strewn with thistles.
Ranch Politics ChniiRctl.
When the Kallspell ranch was se
cured by Mr. Stlllman he found a
large picture of Mr. Roosevelt in al
most cverv room of the big house
upon the place. A sufficient num
ber of these portraits were left to
commemorate the fact that the ranch
was once owned by a former pal of
the president. The others are said to
have been replaced by pictures of a
statesman of the west, to-wit: William
Jennings Bryan.

MOI'RXED AS DEAD 20 YEARS.
Experience of a Portland
County Charge.
Though declared dead 20 years ago,
Thomas Jefferson. 92 years old. Is still
alive tit the county poor house, where
he has lived since his alleged death
savs the Oregon Dally Journal. For
20 years Johnson maintained
sphinx-like silence on the subject of
his going to .the county home for the
poor, but told his story to the grand
jury when it Invfstlgated the county
institution recently.
"I was sick at the Good Samaritan
hospital more than 20 . years ago.'
said Johnson. "I went Into a kind of
a trance and the doctors said I was
dead. I was conscious of what was
going on around me, but couldn't
move or speak.
"They put me Into a coffin, loaded
the coffin onto a truck and started mo
out to the poor farm to be burled.
knew I was going to be burled, but
was helpless. 1 tried all the way out
to the poor house to move, but could
net.
" "As the truck was being driven
through the gate ut the poor farm
one of the wheels struck against a
gatepost and the shock woke me up,
The ltd of the ccffln wns only tacked
on and I pushed It off eas-lly. The
driver got down to close the gate.
Scares the Driver.
'"When he climbed up over the
wheel to his seat I pushed the lid of
tho coffin off and sat up. The driver
raw me, let out a whoop and started
to run. Nobody ever saw that driver
again, but several years later they
captured a maniac In the mountains
over In Tillamook county. Teople said
that maniac was the driver who took
me to -the poor house In a coffin.
"When the driver ran away I got up
on the seat and drove tho team on
up to the poor house, and I have been
out here ever since."
Johnson says he la a veteran of the
civil war; that he was formerly 111
business in Portland; that he was at
one time a Justice of the peace and
at another a constable. He has no
relatives In the city, as far as
known.

Postmaster Fenton has received
nstructlons from Wayhlngton to the
effect that rural routes Nos. 2 and 4,
out of Boise, will be discontinued af
ter December 15, snys the Boise
Statesman. The reason given Is that
the department Is unable to secure
carriers for these routes. Patrons of
the routes will hereafter get their
mall at the Boise postofflce. These
two routes are the heaviest ones out
of Boise, No. 2 especially so, as It will
average 10,000 pieces of mall matter
to be handled per month. At one
time this route was exceeded In the
amount of mall handled by only six
others in the entire United States.
After the discontinuance of these.
route No. 3 will be given to No. 2.
The reason carriers can not be se
cured Is that the pay Is not considered
sufficient. The carrier receives $720
per year and must furnish his own
wagon and team and keep the same
In repair, as well as board himself
and team. At the present prices in
this section of the county no one
seems to want the Job at that figure.
