A historical, descriptive and commercial directory of Owyhee County, Idaho, January 1898 . now twenty-three years of age, is his fathersassistant in the office. Since he took up his abode in California, Mr. Hill hasrepresented his district in the state senate during three sessions of the legisla-ture, and has been mayor of Salinas City for six years. An old Idahoan, who recently visited Hill at his home in California, saysthat he keeps his trusty old Henry rifle as a souvenir of his life in Idaho,and would not part with it at any price. Its stock is splintered from bulletsfired by Indians in battles where many a one of them was sent to the happyhunting grounds. As known here, W. J. Hill was a splendid specimen of physical manhood—six feet high, straight as an arrow, active as a cat, brave as a lion and generousto a fault. Old Hills name will be cherished and his deeds rehearsed around hearth-stone and campfire so long as any of the old pioneers of Owyhee remain abovethe sod. i wt 1 ~-^^^^^^^^^^ ^Hr- m fe. ^^^^^ISr ?1 !
