A. A. Hoover has on display in his
show window gold plated carpet
sweeper, the same as on exhibition at
the Worlds Fair. You can save the
price of carpet in years time by
using one of those machines.
Next Tuesday is the circus. Next to
Fourth of July, "Young America"
loves a circus. OF course that old
chestnut about show taking all the
money out of the country, and people
buying tickets that had better be buy
ing flour, will be sprung for all it is
worth, but we will all go to the show
just the same. When a boy we would
have pawned our shoes for ticket to
the show and honesty compels us to
admit that we havn't improved much
with age in that respect.
The sheep men ana wool men have
had the freedom of the town for the
past two weeks and the Exaggeration
society has been booming. Court
Northrop was taken in on probation.
his well known proclivity of being un.
able to tell lie being a barrier to
membership full and free. Noble, Ak
man, Cupp, Isaac, brennan, Mckenzie,
Roberts, Cavalry, and score of Others
have been holding nightly meetings,
and the contest for the presidency is
fast and furious. So far Altman leads.
Last Sunday the first game of the
season was called at the ball park,
Caldwell and Mountain Home meas
uring bats. The game was disap-
pointment for the reason that the boys
from the Wind Mill City were out
classed. But seven innings were
played, at the expiration of which the
score stood 30 to in favor of Caldwell.
Mountain Home has a good pitcher,
but be has no support whatever. Cald-
well, on the contrary, had stronger
battery and infield than ever before.
The Caldwell boys merely toyed with
their opponents as a cat does with a
mouse. The spectators were dissatis-
fed as the game was too one sided to
be exciting. While the Caldwell nine
always has the sympathy of q Caldwell
audience, yet all lovers Of the game
would rather see them done up in
small packages in a holly contested
game than see them victors in game
like Sundays. The Mountain Home
nine are nice boys and good fellows.
but, as the saying goes, they can't play
ball a little.
Mr.. P. A. Devers, a prominent
financier and capitalist, last Monday
bought the irrigating canal of the
Idaho Irrigation & Colonization Co.,
which was sold at sheriff's sale, paying
therefor $1,000. This great property,
better known as the Sebree ditch, orig.
inally cost $4,000, and is today one Of
the best irrigating canals in this sec.
ton. Some three years ago, for some
reason, the canal failed to furnish water
to ranchers depending upon it, and Mr.
z. s. Barnum brought suit for damages
He won his case and obtained judg
ment for $500 or $500. In default OF
payment the ditch was sold by the
sheriff last Monday rs above stated
The object of the stakeholder in allow
ing the sale to be made is mystery tc
those on the outside. They are al
men of wealth, Mr.. Howard Sebree, OF
this city, Fred L. Games. of Boston, F
J. Keisel, of Ogden, being the principa
stockholders. The ditch is a splendid
property, covers a large area of tn,
finest land in southern Idaho, and ha.
been the means of transforming acre,
of sagebrush into beautiful alfalf,
fields and growing orchards. The sail
will in no way interfere with the oper
alton of the ditch as Mr.. Devers is pre-
pared to operate it himself should i
not be redeemed.
