Wonder how many who went out col
Letting yesterday morning realized it
was all fools day before they got
through.
Frank Melbourne, the rain king, who
failed in his experiments to bring rain
at Nampa, this state, last summer, has
broken out already this spring. A dis
patch says: 1.-THE rain king, Frank
Melbourne, the remarkable Australian,
is again at his headquarters at Chey
enne, after an absence of four months.
He came direct from Hermosillo, Old
Mexico. He says he gave them three
inches of rain down there at cut rate
and left because the people were so
dumb, some of them stupid and super
stitious. The poems wanted to make a
god of the miracle performer. Mel
bourne yet has the utmost confidence
in his invention, declaring that he can
precipitate rain at will. He will oper-
ate this summer in South Dakota, west
ern Nebraska and Wyoming. He can
now make no less than half a dozen
contracts, with at least $75, 900 in each
job. Melbourne will not name a price
for his secret. All his apparatus is in
one small valise"
Quite unique case will come up at
this term of court, now in session at
Boise City, which will be of great in
terest to every county sheriff in Idaho.
J. b. Oldham, sheriff of Ada county,
Idaho, has commenced suit against
Silas w. Moody. state auditor, to COM
pei the latter to draw warrant upon
the state treasurer to defray the ex-
penses of keeping jeff Smith, who was
convicted of felony and sent to the
county Jail for year. Under the pro-
visions of section S5O3, revised statutes,
the board of examiners rejected the
claim, upon the ground that the ex-
pense of keeping Smith was chargeable
against Ada county and not against
the state. The examiners further held
that the penitentiary act of the legisla-
tive session of 189O-91 repealed the law
allowing felons to be sent to the county
Jail in instances where the sentences
did not exceed one year. In other
words, after the passage of the peniten-
tiary law, the sheriff had no right to
accept state prisoner, but, if so, must
look to the county for payment for the
prisoners maintenance, and not to the
state.

THE MOUNTAIN HOME RESERVOIR.

THE MOUNTAIN HOME RESERVOIR.
The Success Of Gigantic Entsspriss Now an
Assured Fact
Mountain Home Range & Valley.
Since the first conception of. the
scheme to dam Rattlesnake and
store the spring run of water for
irrigating purposes a grave doubt
of its success has been entertained
in the minds of some, at least of
those who are rather inclined to
skepticism and believe only half of
what they see, but now since the
reservoir has been put to a test
every shadow of doubt has been
removed and full confidence with
every one has simply become
watch word. This reservoir is of
dimensions as follows: Six. miles
in circumference at top surface of
water when full; dam, 21O feet in
depth, up and down the creek;
dam proper 300 feet wide with
wings reaching on either side to
the extent of 1000 feet and from
top to bottom the dam is sixty-fve
feet. When full the reservoir will
hold over 100000 gallons of water
and will irrigate, such soil as we
have here, from 5000 to 5000 acres
of land. The tunnel in which the
head gate has been place is $50 feet
in length and through solid rock,
commencing so feet above the front
part Of the dam and coursing
around the end of the dam is CAL
culated to convey the water through
without giving one chance for leak
or seepage thsn guarding securely
against any show for breakage
from that source. The dam is con-
structed of seven parts clay and
three parts gravel, solidly compact
and puddled from the bedrock up,
and narrows at the top to about
100 feet with the face we'll and
securely riprapped, thus forming a
grand breastwork that it would
seem even the gods Of nature, with
all their formidable power, would
be powerless to move. In fact, the
management has not spared one
cent in money or one move of the
shovel that would lend to the sue
cessful accomplishment, of the work.
The dam and it's wings are not
altogether completed yet, but so
near SO that water has been turned
in with perfect safety and only
short time will now elapse ere it
will be entirely done.
The canal leadi ng from Canyon
creek has been completed. 1t is
five feet deep, 80 feet on the bottom
and so feet on top, and at present
is carrying several hundred thous-
and inches of water from it's daily |
increasing source to its mouth. AT
the present writing the water in
the reservoir stands 80 feet deep
against the head of the dam, and
Is filling at the rate of IL inches in
twenty-four hours, just now, but of
course the higher it raises in the
great basin the slower it will L..
crease in depth.
This, the reader will bear in |
mind is only the commencement of
a grand system of reservoirs, the
remaining ones TO be constructed
on Canyon creek and the work

DRIFTING THIRD PARTYWARD

Ed. TRIBUNE-The vote which
so nearly defeated the Bland silver
bill last week was a surprise to
every one. With large demo-
cratic majority in the house which
were pledged for the free coinage
of silver before they we're elected,
it was generally considered sure
thing that the house would give a
handsome majority in favor of it.
The result illustrates the futility
of pledges and platforms. Unless
men of character and principle can
be elected pledges and platforms
are totally worthless. The Bland
bill was carefully drawn and just
in every particular, and its passage
would have been a god-send to
thousands of mortgaged farmers
and day laborers with their suffer-
ing families and would not have
done injustice to any one-not
even the money-loaning Jew-but
the heart of avarice is never salts
fed with justice any more than
the lion is satisfied to lie down
with the lamb unless it is inside of
him.
The fact that England will clear
ten millions annually by the defeat
of this bill may be some explana-
ton of the treachery of many dem
Ocrats who were elected on a silver
platform. English spectators in
silver could afford to spend several
millions in defeating the bill and
then make money by it. When
congress adjourns we will see
many of these recalcitrant demo-
Gratis returning to their constitu-
ents with their head full of apollo
gies and their pockets full of British
gold.
History has its parallels. Samp-
son was shorn of his locks by a
treacherous Delilah, and the Phil
istine solved his riddle by plough
ing his heifer. The gold bugs and
the democratic heifer seems to have
solved the riddle this time. The
people have asked for that which
would give them bread; congress
has responded with a heart of
stone.
The debate on this question in
congress points Enthusiastically to
the fact that our congressman are
losing their manhood and indepen-
dcnce. Not only are they traitors
to their constituents, but they look
to and quote what English and
German bankers say in reference
to questions purely American. If
they are not paid to talk as they
do, they must be So infatuated
with admiration for foreign ideas
and customs as to totally disqualify
them for correct and independent
thought. 1t seems that neither
republicans or democrats have
thought for their constituents
when they get to the national CAPT
tai. What England or Germany
wants is the question of prime
Importance. We must have a con.
ference with them before we can
provide money to transact the bust
ness of our own country. There is
a remedy for this evil and people
are beginning to find it out. The
numbers that will repudiate both
old parties at the polls next fall
will astonish some of these sub
servient tools of thd money power.
1t is the only hope of the country.

Mr.. Charles j. Randall, of Lyman, who
recently committed suicide by hanging
himself in his own barn, was neighbor
of the writer. Mr.. Randall was quiet,
unassuming man. very industrious as a
farmer and mechanic, an oDliging neigh
Der, in easy worldly circumstances, and
respected by all his acquaintance. Is
appears that at different times during the
last few years he has. declared to his
wife his purpose to take his life, and she
has been obliged to take precautions to
prevent such an act. The species of in
sanity which impelled him to commit the
deed was doubtless hereditary. His re-
moins were carried to Limington, his ma
tive place, where the funeral took place
on Sunday, Oct. 80. His age was 50
years. He left no children. The sad
event has cast gloom over our entire
community.

The passage of the modified free ship
bill by both houses OF Congress was Il
practical confession OF the fact HAT IN
building iron aud steel vessels this c.,ua.
try can now compete with any foreign
nation. The bill admits To American
register any vessel of over 10000 tons.
fhnd the reason for the bil is thut Amer
can shipvarls are NOW allie 90 bull such
vessels, aud wish To conpptr for the
trade of the womb IN constructing ocean
racers. There are hundreds Of great
steel vessels being built ia Europe yearly,
mostly in England, and American
shipbuilders have at last got their ewes
open to the fact that the only way to get
share of this trade is to creep out of the
protection cellar and compete in an
omen market.
