Reminiscence of Blaine County Witness Testimony
J R Hart of Hatley testified as a witness at a preliminary trial in Probate court for John Ward of Corey. Hart, a Blaine county veteran and new deputy sheriff, recalled two recent district court murder trials, noting a horse theft case tied to Ward. The thief was convicted, and the horse’s value rose from about 20 dollars at theft to 40 dollars current worth. This sparked recollections of Blaine county’s crime history and even influenced views on prior outcomes.

Fortunes of a Prospector in Idaho’s Early Days
The article profiles Jahtr Wilewn from Southern California, a transient prospector who drifted into Shoshone about thirty years ago during the Woot river excitement. He recounts years on the coast and in British Columbia, returning to Idaho where he found placer gold near Grave Creek and the Snake River Canyon. He notes coyotes pursuing him, lack of money, and three days of provisions before striking liberal returns. He believes Idaho holds promise for future prospecting and may spend more time exploring its mountain ranges.

Improving the Farmer’s Life and Shifting Farm Roles
The article traces how early agricultural colleges moved farmers from theory to practice through demonstrations and experimental farms. Graduates applied science to farming, encouraging farm families to remain on or return to agriculture rather than seek town trades. It also notes town leaders promoting agriculture as profitable, drawing educated youth back to farms. A second note laments excessive public speaking and the proliferation of speakers claiming authority on every subject.
