Tim Driscoll, W. J. Davenport and C. C. Green, went to Snake river fishing and caught nearly a wagon load of sturgeon. They got 14 and three of the largest would weigh from 100 to 160 pounds each. THE INDEPENDENT is under many obligations to Judge Driscoll for a fine roast out of the north-east corner of one of the big ones.

My grandfather, Daniel Wertman, b. abt 1845 (Pennsylvania) and wife, Mary Bartch WErtman, came to Payette in the 1890's. Daniel, Mary and son George William Wertman, b. 1868, Michigan....appear on the 1900 census, living in Payette, Canyon co., Idaho. I find that Daniel applied for and received 2 Donation Land claims (see below). Can some kind soul please tell me how I can find out where those DLC's were located? There are all kinds of nice maps on the internet now so people can find Township/Range numbers and locate their ancestors DLC's, etc....does Idaho have a place where they have maps like that online?
