Is to meet all the conditions of comfort and

wants an eight room house with bath and a
good many other things, helps to make the
world move. He institutes certain progress
in architectural affairs. He brings out all
there is in an architect in the way of planning

AVALANCHE: If John Lamb was
not known to be an abject slave to
truth we would not dare to publish
the following story which he tells.
He went out on the platform of the
car while the train was running up a
grade in the Grand Round valley, in
Oregon. A man was standing on the
platform and buckaroo was riding
a horse on the road beside the track.
The man pulled a bottle of whisky
from his pistol pocket and waved ii
at the cowboy, whereupon the punch
er of bovines rode up beside the car
steps, took the bottle, pulled out the
cork, took drink, corked the bottle,
and handed it back while the train
was running at fifteen miles an hour,
said "thankee" and fell in the rear
as unconcerned as if it was an every
day occurrence.

KEYSTONE: The Hub mine, situ-
ated in the Era mining district, was
sold last week for 100000, of which
$4,000 was paid on the 18th inst

ments of $4,000 each. The princi-
pal parties interested in the purchase
are A. L. New and E. o. Cracker, of
Evanston, Wyoming. A stock COM
pany will be Incorporated under the
laws of the Territory of Wyoming,
and active operations will commence
at once. A 40-stamp mill is contem-
plated and parties are now in Denver
negotiating for machinery of the mill,
and also heavier hosting works from
the mine.

NEVER was the Weiser river so
low, it is said by our oldest residents,
as it is to-day. We went down to
the river this week, and it is simply a
dry creek, so to speak. Any one can
cross it dry shod in half dozen
places, from here to its mouth. If
we do not have rain before Septem-
Der it will be a serious loss to the
community. We hear from ranchers
north of here that all the springs are
drying up, and 1t seems as though
this state of things prevails every
where in this country. 1t behooves
stock owners to prepare for the worst,
for if we have no more rain till late
in the season, stock must suffer to a
great extent. If we have a hard
winter, as is predicted by many, the
loss of stock will be immense

lRRlGATIOs.



We are pleased to note the zeal
with which the press of Idaho is in
splred in forwarding the general
plan of irrigation, for the arid re-
gions as whole, but more particu-
larly of each and every one for the
respective locality in which they re-
side. We also would like to say a
few words in favor of Bingham coun-
ty. Nor do we espouse her because
OF true loyalty alone, but on account
of her natural resources and advanta-
ges, which are superior to those in
any other part of the Territory. To
begin at PocatelIo from the head of
the Snake River travelling north to-
wards the Yellow Stone Park, there
are good grades aud throughout the
whole of these many thousands OF
acres there is scarcely foot of una
vailable land.
Nature has already done great
share of the irrigation work in pro-
viding the Snake River with its nu-
merous smaller tributaries which pen
citrate such vast amount of this re-
gion that the entire cost of canal
should not exceed the amount ex-
pended in many places to get the
water out of the river. Then the
southern portion of the county which
contains as fine land as there is in the
world, situated on Squaw Creek
bench and at Nine Mile ford may all
be easily watered at small expense
from Bear River.
With thorough system of irriga-
ton all branches of agriculture will
find unlimited support. Mining mas
already become quite an industry,
and we may still expect bright de-
velopments, as only portion of the
county has as yet been prospected.
As to the general advantages re-
ferred to, principal among these are
the two lines of railway crossing the
county, which will provide for the
settler access to any market for his
products that his choice may dictate,
whether il be at the north, south,
east or west. Thus it is obvious that
when Bingham county receives the
same amount of expenditure given
other localities greater area of land
will be irrigated, more settlements
provided for and greater popula-
ton supported than in any section OF
Idaho.

FIVE cars loaded with ore from the
Silver King mine, at Sawtooth, were
shipped from the Ketchum depot a
few days ago, consigned to the Grant
reduction works at Omaha. Three
of the cars aggregated $4,000 pounds
in weight. Major Hyndman, the
manager of the mine, proposes to
keep up this lick in the shipment of
ore from the King for sometime yet.
A lot of ore from the Warrior
mine, on Warm Springs creek, was
sampled at the Ketchum sampling
works during the week, which yield
ed at the rate of 120 ounces silver,
and 5S4 per cent lead per ton Key
stone.
