ACCIDENTALLY DROWNED


U" Thursday morning last Mrs.
Margaret Smith, who owned farm
on the rayette, near Emmett, and is
sister OF }. d. Agnew of this city.
In company with Mrs. John Davis and
paoy, were riding in double wagon
over slough short distance below
town. when the clip holding the
tongue broke and the horses walked
on, leaving the wagon in the water.
Az the same moment, however, it
turned over, and Mrs. Smith fell ont
of the lower side, while Mrs. Davis
and child must have gone out over
the dashboard, for the sleeve of her
garment caught in the singletrees bv
some means, and the horses hauled
her to the shore, she clinging mean
time to her babe. Mrs. Smith an
pears to have sunk without struggle.
Mr.. Agnew, accompanied by his
daughter, Laura, left the city yester
day morning for the residence of his
late sister. Mrs. Smith leaves four
children, Willie and Mollie, who have
been attending school in Portland,
and J. d. and L. J. Smith, who have
resided with their mother on the farm.
The Statesman of the 31st contains
the following additional particulars:
The funeral of Mrs. Margaret
Smith, the victim of the unfortunate
accident resulting in her being
drowned as related in the Statesman.
occurred at Emmet yesterday after
noon at 2 o'clock, it being largely at
tended by the friends and relatives of
the family. Mrs.. D. Agnew talked
with DR.. Lee, of Caldwell, by tele-
phone in reference to the circum-
stances of the sad occurrence ysster-
day afternoon. The Doctor said that
Mrs. Smith, when taken from the wa
ter, was found to have suffered sew
eral bruises upon the head, SO it is
probable she was stunned before she
reached the water. The most reason
able supposition is that the vehicle
ran against a rock, causing the break
ing of the clip; that the sudden stop
page threw Mrs. Smith forward, heI
head striking a wheel. The horse:
had footing all the way, which they
would not have had if the water had
been more than four feet deep. So
if Mrs. Smith had not been bruised
she could have waded to the shore.

SENATOR GUM on ARID LANDS.
Statesman,

' inc irans- Mississippi Congress
at Denver, lately adjourned, our Ida
no delegates took quite a prominent
part. State Senator Gums paper
upon the arid land question is highly
praised in the Denver papers. We
lay before our readers some extracts.
The Senator's view is that the arid
lands should be ceded to the States.
de says; "Serious objection can
be argued against waiting either for
the Intervention of capitalists or that
of the National Government. If we
turn the water courses of the State
and all its water privileges, lakes and
natural reservoirs over to the control
OF capitalists, you make every farmer
III this State, in every State and Ter
rltory in the arid belt, dependent, a
tenant, if you please, on the arbitra-
ry will of Some corporation that will
tax, grind and oppress him. If we
turn to the General Government for
aid to prosecute this work ! fear that
the child now toddling about these
streets will be bent with age before
we receive it. The General Govern
ment has now as many irons in the
hire as it can we'll attend to. We
can develop our system of irrigation,
build reservoirs and construct canals
without financial aid from that source.
and we can do it at once. There can
be no prosperity IN the arid regions
until something is done in that di-
rection, and the speediest way is the
cheapest way"
On this point there was, however,
difference of opinion among the
delegates, and some argued that the
General Government should assume
at once entire control of the water
supply, whatever disposition it might
make of the lands. Our Senator
shows that there are in round mum.
bers 100000 acres in Idaho Who'll.
ly unproductive without irrigation, Of
which 100000 may be irrigated
without much expense by persons
companies and corporations, an
100000 must depend upon State OF
National aid. This being obtained
the mind of the Senator peroeives the
future full of hope.
"We have slept our long sleep
The silence Of the tomb has reignec
over our hills and plains. But kis
the soil with one drop from the bound
ing torrents that find their source wa,
up toward the summit of our snow
clad peaks, and the sickle of tn
farmer makes merry clatter all da,
long in the fields; the voice of tn
husbsndman, the song Of the milk
maid, the merry cheer of school chill
dren, the hum of industry breaks tn
long sleep of the ages, and where al
was silent as the tomb now the land
sc4pe echoes and re-echoes to th
sources of awakened life.
"And while you encourage the Tec
lamation of the arid lands, see tha
justice is done to the long abused an
suffering and patient silver mlne

ABSOLUTELY PURE
CORKY BALL.
The Los Angeles Team Goes AL
to Pieces.

The Los Angeles Team Goes All
to Pieces.
Seventeen to five. That tells the
story of very rocky game OF ball. The
several hundred people who visited the
First-streeet grounds yesterday expect
ing to see tip top game of ball were
disappointed, and they went home
kicking themselves. The San Francisco
team played in first-class style, taking
everything that came their way. The
glitter of "Jo JOS" nineteen-carat dia-
mond overcame the Los Angeles club,
and they went to pieces after the UNI
pire gave them little the worst of it
at the start of the game.
The local team out batted the visiting
combination, yet strange to relate they
were ANONYMOUSLY defeated by score
of II to 5. Ten errors, 3 passed balls,
wild pitches, and bases on called balls.
The above little items explain the cause
of defeat. Knell was wild, and his
pitching was wilder, and in conse-
quence "Dunnie" had no picnic in
catching the blonde King of the Ameri
can association twirlers.
The misfortunes of the Los Angeles
CluD Cdue nOt Ill Single ule DuC III DdC-
talions. The visitors smashed out four
big runs in their first venture and
when they duplicated this in the next,
the local cracks threw up the sponge,
especially as the members of the Los
Angeles team all took their off-day on
the same afternoon. Manager Edwards
wore a gloomy smile when he visited
the press box. His star combination
was suffering from an overdose of
Thanksgiving turkey, and as a result
"Giant" Cartwright and his merry men
in bottle green cantered away from the
home boys and won hands down. The
writer will not weary the reader with a
detailed description of the game. The
best play OF the game was made by
Knell. 1t captured San Franciscan at
the home plate in great style. Cart
wright kept up his reputation as hard
hitter and made his usual home run.
Knell appears to be ''pie" for the big
first baseman. Jack Fogarty also made
a home run. The score will have to tell
the rest OF this razzle-d dazzle game of
ball:
