large watermelon standing on end,
pinnacle shape with spreading points
to display the red meat. Arranged in

withstanding the fact that Sweet has
a large plurality outside of Shoshone
county. The Democratic leaders
now concede Burke's defeat claiming
that his plurality in Shoshone county
cannot legally be counted. Leading
Republicans scout the idea of Sweet
being denied the seat to which he has
honestly been elected, but the thought
of long and bitter contest is
distasteful to them. They feel
certain that the Democrats are
resorting to disreputable trick to
seat their defeated champion, and the
claim about Shoshone county is but a
flimsy pretext to get the matter before
one-sided and possibly blindly
partisan House of Representatives.
Tonight Hon. Albert A. Frazer and
other prominent Democrats are offer
ing heavy wages that True's contest
will be sustained. Whether or not
there is any truth in the above, the
SIGNAL cannot say. There are always
rumors of this kind ahoat after an
election, no matter which party is
victorious.

Important Irrigation Enterprise.

An important conference will be
held in Boise on Saturday between
W.T.. Griswold, who is at the head
of the United States geological sur
vev, and Professor Thompson, who
has charge of the whole western di-
vision of that important branch OF
federal work. The two officials will
discuss the advisability of preparing
at the earliest practicable season,
complete Typographical map of the
great valley of Snake river from Ea-
gle Rock, in Bingham county, to
American Falls, distance of about
100 miles.
The object of the proposed survey
will be to ascertain the feasibility
and cost of so diverting the waters of
Snake river that nearly 1000, 600
acres of now worthless sagebrush
land may be irrigated and placed
under cultivation.
1t is believed that sufficient vol
ume of water can be taken from the
river near Eagle Rock to irrigate zoo'
600 acres of the surrounding PLAIN
and it is thought that dam thrown
across the river near American Fails
will make it possible to cover VIII
