Show Proud of Owyhee. ' Idaho Avalanche. ' When a county as large and prosperous prosper-ous as Owyhee can get along with one very short session of district court per year, and even then find no necessity for summoning a trial jury, and have its grand jury adjourn after a very short sitting without finding a bill or any occasion oc-casion for reporting against any officer, it shows a condition of affairs of whioh our citizens have every reason to be proud. At least one portion of the wild and woolly west with : its "Ignorant miners and murderous cowboys," as a distinguished eastern senator chose, to classify our people, at the very hotiv a candidate for governor in his own state was traveling and canvassing the state with a body guard of a hundred men, can show a record of law and order of which the most staid and settled rural county in the east might do well to emulate. em-ulate. ' Proud Idaho and still prouder Owyhee, prosperous ' in productive mines, fruitful valleys and fattening herds, we can invite the world to look upon us and approve. We have wealth in our minerals still untouched; wealth on our plains and mountain sides to feed and fatten flocks; wealth In the fertility of our valleys to grow grains and fruits; but above all we have a peace-loving and law-abiding class of citizens,, with whom it is a pleasure to dwell. |
