PAGE THREE. 1 SYSTEM FOR ID OFFICES ALL RECOIIDS KEPT IN MODERN METHOD Dejxirtinont Hum Simplified tli Work and All Old and Obl Method Have Been Discarded New Blanks Files Indexed and Other Parapher nulla Necessary. For tho purpose of elmpllfylng the system of keeping1 the records, an en tlrely new plan was Introduced In all district United Si at oh land offices and In the general land Office R.t Wash ington on the first of this month, says the Portland Oregonian. m Practically all of the record books heretofore In use have been discarded while what is known as a serial number book and a card Index have been substitut ed. In the serial book Is kept a complete record of every transaction relating to a tract of public land from the time it has been filed on until final proof has been made and patent Issued. Corresponding records will bo kept at the general land office at Wash ington. Formerly this Information was recorded In scral separate volumes, each transaction regarding a tract of land being designated by a number corresponding with tho order In which the proceeding occurred. Un der the new system every step In the progress of perfecting ttlo to each piece of public land will be recorded under one serial number with a com plete Indexing system In connection. All PaMrs Kept In Classen. Under the new system one set of numbers will be maintained at each district land office for all classes of entiles, purchases, locations, etc. The initial celebration, application or oth er paper required In any entry, pur chase, selection or locution will be numbered at the time In the order in which It Is presented to the district land office without regard to Its sub sequent allowance or rejection. All Intermediate or final papers required to be filed or Isued In connection therewith will be given the same nunv ber as the original paper. Another Important change Is the es' tabllshment of on alphabetical Index of all declarants, applications, entry men, purchasers, selectors and loea tors. This Index will bo maintained both at tho district land office and at the general land office and at the general land offlre at Washington Still another change has been Intro duced by which an entirely new sys tern Is required of tho registers and receivers of the district land offices In making reports. Hy the change the entire system has been revolutionized, Involving complete new outfit of blanks, files, letter presses, stamping machines. card Indexes, binding apparatus, etc Pccause of this fact there prevails a suspicion that a graft has been worked by some one expert In the Interest of the manufacturers of such paraphernalia. While the registers and receivers, who are capable, will not mind the annoyance resulting from the complete change. It Is be lieved the new system will be cum bersome and not as satisfactory as the old for permanent use. the work, themselves organizing an entirely new company. .' The building of the proposed Boise Butte railroad hag been tho dream of business men of Boise for a long time and though steps have been mudo towards effecting its start noth ing has been accomplished except thd establishment of a permanent survey with the right-of-way into the city of Bohje. The original survey of this line was made about 15 years ago and tho party then Instrumental for it, al though without financial backing, munaged to run his lines and estab lish an available route some 200 miles long. His death caused the deal to fall through, but later the survey work was again executed and a com pany formed to finance the road. This deal never materialized, although the citizens of Boise raised considerable money and offered the citizens rlght- of way Into the heart of the business district. This right of way still re mains laid out and ruins from tho city up tho Holso river cunyon. Should a new company purchase the plats, etc., of tho old survey, the probabilities are that the citizens right of way would also be turned over to them on the condition that the line enters Boise. It Is understood that there are a number of the prominent business men of the city backing the move ment and that negotiations have been opened with the eastern purchasers. "HEAL" INDIAN SCARE BOISK-BITTK ROAD AGAIN. Old Project to Unite Idnlio and Mon tana la Revived. The Boise Capital News s.iys of the revival of the old project to build a railroad from Boise to Butte: The Holse-Butte railroad Is again under agitation and Indications point to the fact that some definite action Is being crystallzed towards a re-survey, or purchase of the old survey plans, by an Independent company made up of ex-rallroad men and capitalists of the east, who have Investigated the proposed road and believe that the line would, if constructed, bo a paying proposition. It Is understood that advances have been made by the eastern cap italists to the owners of the old sur vey with the view of purchasing the plans nnd after making a few neces sary charges agitate the construction of the road or else go ahead with "Bad Blood" shows itself in a muddy com plexion, pimples, blurred eye sight, loss of weight, and gen eral debility.

A correspondent at Lyle writes of an amusing Indian "scare" told by Colonel Frank J. Parker, the well known Journalist, formerly of Walla Walla: Frank J. Parker, pioneer miner. General Howard's old scout In the In dian war of 1878, newspaper man, ater United States marshal fur Wash ngton under Cleveland, now retired, residing In Portland, has Just conclud ed a trip up the Columbia, noting changes that have been made since he and other miners floated from The Dalles to the Cascades In an Indian canoe, In 1S64. Colonel Parker ex pressed regret that some of the gro tesque scenery of the Cascades had to hi so ruthlessly obliterated by the re cent railroad construction. Before taking the Portland train, the old miner-scout related a little In cident that will clear up to some of the old-timers, what was reported falsely at the time to be on Indian outbreak. The story runs that Gen eral Howard's scout, with a Cay use Indian guide, was en route to Inter cept General Howard and army in Harney valley. They had made camp oi. the headwaters of Owyhee river, near Silver City. During an intermission In the long ride, while the horses were grazing and resting. Colonel Parker and the Indian were shooting "wind" hens, renceahle Indians passing heard the gun reports and tarried long enough to see dodging through the brush th Indian guide, und presuming at once a band of their mortal foe., tho Han nocks, were upon them, they hastened with reports to Silver City. Soon there appeared In the newspapers the story of "another outbreak of Indians near Silver City, Idaho." Colonel Parkers says he has kept the real story of the Indian raid secret these 30 years In order not to detract from the fame of the then rising young Journalists. POPULISTS OPEN CAMPAIGN.

The lamp broke on the floor In front of the stage an 1 the nil Ignited and spread the flames over the floor. Editor P. J. Barron of the Star, was leading tho orchestra and as the audi ence was starting in a stampede for the exits he stood up near the blaze nnd commenced a violin solo which was not on the program.

Mr. Barron was unable to say with certainty what selection he played, but thought It was Haydn's National Hymn of Austria. NEW LOVE-MAKING SYSTEM. Prince. De Sagnn Soys "I ho Force of Inertia Wins. Young men who find difficulty In winning the parental consent to mar riage with their fair charmers may find a valuable suggestion In the new love-making system devised by Prince Helle de h'agan and which, he says, was Instrumental in winning the heart and fortune of the fair Mme. Anna Gould. "I won against all the objections- of the Gould family and In the face- of the ridicule of all the French and American newspapers," says the mod est prince, "by a method which has always given me success In my under takings the force of Inertia." Elaborating his system, Prince Helle says: "Although accustomed to a Bohe mian and care-free life, I possess great determination of character when I really desire to accomplish any pur pose. I do not go forth to do battle In the open, however, but remain crouching In my corner until my ex cited antagonists dash themselves to pieces. "It Is the force of Inertia," said the prince, "that wins success In love as In all other matters. Hurled from Horse to Death. One of the most distressing and saddest fatalities ever recorded in the annals of Pocatello's Independence days occurred Saturday, when Charles C. Munn, popularly known as "Char ley," was hurled from a horse to his death. The pitiful feature of the ac cident is In the fact that Munn was hurrying to his home, Just at night fall of the Fourth, after having been on tho range over two weeks, and hurrying to a handsome home that had Just been completed, and which he and his wife were to occupy for the first time on the night of the Fourth. At Hoqulam, Wash., Saturday a race horse became unmanageable and ran down the streets Into the crowd, striking John Johnson and In juring him so badly that he can not live.

The afternoon of tho previous day, the last time nt which visitors could be permitted to see her, realising that death was not far distant, she spoke of her babies and turning to her friend, Mrs. L.

CABINET I'OK JOHNSON. nrjon Would I'lucnte IVIends of the Minnesota (Jovcrnor. An interesting echo from Lincoln has readied here to the effect that Mr. Bryan has received favorably the suggestion that the recent pronounced antagonism of the Bryan men to Gov ernor Johnson of Minnesota, shall b offset by the intimation that in the event of Mr. Bryan's election he will Invito Johnson to' Hike" A'place In his cabinet, soys a dispatch from Denver. One of tho many visitors to Mr. Bryan who is now here has pointed out to him that the marked antagon ism to Johnson might alienate the In fluential Scandinavian element with which the Minnesota governor Is iden tified by birth and association. Mr. Bryan did not relish the idea of "playing politics," but at the same time, It is said, he received the sug gestion with considerable favor and If the matter could be freed from Interested motives and political ex pediency he would be inclined to let It be understood that Governor John son would be favorably considered If the occasion arises to form a Bryan cabinet.
