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.

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

Colonel Prank J. Parker Tells of Inci
dent of I '-il ly Day.
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.

EDITOR A HERO.
Plays Violin Solo and Stojw Panic
Sirlcken Audience at Local Enter
taliiiiiciil. At a performance of "A Soldier of
Fortune," given by local- talent at tho
Chautauqua auditorium at Scott
Iiluff, Neb., Saturday night by the
Woman's Commercial club, one of the
actors in progress of stage battle with
tho villain of the play, knocked over
cne of the kerosene lamps which serv
ed as footlights. 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. The fiight
ened audience paused before any se
rious crush had been started ana In I
three minutes the stage hands had ex
tinguished the fire and the play was
resumed. 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.
