NOT A VERY HARD JOB.
Construction Of the Great
Dam Aided by Nature.
Diversified News of 9th
err Matters.

The SIGNAL has published one or
two articles regarding the proposition
of damming Snake river for irrigating
purposes. These have all dealt with
the object, cost, amount of land that
would be covered, extent Of canal,
etc. About the dam constructive it
self nothing has been said and the
following description from the Nampa
Leader will be found quite interest
ing:
At point about fourteen miles up
the river from Walters Ferry, nature
has fixed things so, taking into con-
sideration the amount of water that
flows in the river, the feat of dam
ming it is comparatively easy one.
The point mentioned is situated in
what is known as the "Cove. "
This section of the river averages
about half mile in width from bluff
to bluff, the basaltic faces of which
rises full four numbered feet perpen-
dicularly, to the table land above.
The river runs beteen these rocky
walls for about twenty five miles,
with barely break in their face.
The dam site is situated five miles
up this cove, from it's northwestern
extremity From the face of the
eastern bluff, and at right angle to
it there extends a natural dyke OF
solid rock a hundred feet high, and
reaching to the rivers brink. The
base of this dyke is about four hun
dred feet wide. Directly on its course
in the center of the river, is situated
an island of solid basaltic rock, fifty
feet high and three hundred feet long.
On the west side of the river huge
bar, two hundred feet high, rises Al
an angle of forty degrees from the
rivers edge, reaching back to The
face of the cliff, and extends fo
about a mile on each side of the dan
site. This bar is composed of hug
boulders and gravel While it serve
as an excellent wing to the dam, ma
terial can be taken from it for film
the crib work. At any point wher
the dam is to rest on, solid bedroc
can be seen during low water. Th
head works will be situated on th
: west bank, and in order to lessen th
flow over the crest Of the dam, vast
ways will be built on each side {
the island and the east bank. Timber
can be SHIPPED to Mora, and wagone
:. thence to the top of the bluff, frol
g where it can be sent down log wa
to the vally below. Each section {
the dam will be about 450 feet lon
on the crest. So you see dammir
Snake river is not such a stupendol
9 job after all, especially at this pa
t, ticular point.

Crop Bulletin.

The observers and crop correspon-
dents of the Idaho Weather Service
for the week ending June 13,
/ S93, that the condition of the several
crops was very much improved by
the warm sunshiny weather Of the
past seven days.
The precipitation in the northern
part of the state was about the aver
age amount, but IN the other por-
tions there was no rain reported dur
ing the week. A few good showers
would be of great value to the farm
ers in the central and southern coun-
ties of the state.
Wheat is reported as looking fine,
but in many places is thin and needs
moisture to thicken the stand. Po-
tatoes are coming up Strawberries
are in bloom in the northern counties
peaches and plums failure in Ne;

is that the fruit crop will not com'
up to the average of previous years

STEVENS ANNEXATION POLICY.
TIE New York Nation, one of the
most reliable newspapers in this
country, estimates that Mr.. Stevens,
who was editor of Mr.. Blaine's home
organ, the Kennebec Journal, was in
doctrinated by that statesman, MI
Blaine, with Hawaiian annexation
ideas and that he was selected by Mr.
Blaine as envoy to the Sandwich
Islands in order to carry out that idea
The same paper says that Mr..
Stevens in his speech when
he arrived at Honolulu, and was &C.
corded public reception, politely al
luded to the nation to which he was
accredited as "a monarch cursed
country" 1t also adds that when
Admiral Skerrett called on the secre-
tary before going to Hawaii in De-
Gem Der, 1892, he asked him what was
the policy of the government about
annexation, reminding him that it
had formerly been opposed to 1t. Mr..
Blaine calmly informed him "that
the wishes of the government had
changed and they would be glad
to annex Hawaii" Other incidents
are mentioned going TO show that
Stevens, pet of Blaine's, was sent to
Hawaii in order 10 bring about annex
alton, which his subsequent conduct
goes to confirm. There can be very
little doubt that Stevens was the
head and front of the conspiracy to
dethrone the queen, establish a pro-
tectorate and finally force annexation
on the United States.

OPERA HOUSE BGRNED.
The Haymarket Thea sr and Store Buildings
in Chicago Destroyed

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-The Haymarket
theater at Halsted and Madison streets
caught fire this morning at 10 o'clock.
The building was five stories high with
frontage of $50 feet on Madison
street, and large part in the rear of
the building was given to the theater,
but the frontage was used for stores,
and above them were offices. Before
the fire was under control the stores
were badly damaged by water, much
of the stock being ruined and the Office
portion of the building is about a total
loss. The loss on building and con
tents was estimated at 100000 The
foyer of the theater was destroyed and
the interior drenched and smoked. On
this the loss is estimated at $4,000.
Scenes about the burning building
were only equaled by the excitement
attending the great fire three years
ago. Thousands gathered in the bit
ter weather of the coolest day this
year to witness the destruction.

A Magnificent Work.

Among the outcome of the Worlds
Fair, by no means the least in import
ance, is the production of The Book
of the Fair, a massive art work of
1000 folio pages and 5000 saperb cop
perplate illustrations. 1t promises to
be a masterpiece of that illustrative
letterpress art which of late years has
betn brought to such perfection. The
text is. written in that free, flowing
and individual ct lie for which Mr..
Bancroft, the author, is famed. Of
the thoroughness of his research, the
honesty of. his mind and the indie
pendence of his judgment there can be
no question. He gives in this book
not only work of art, but faithful
reproduction of this panorama of ma
tions, SO brilliant, yet 30 transitory,
and when completed it will be in a.
broad sense, priceless. AS work of
interest and instruction The Book of
the Fair is without COM
petitor, and it should certainly
find it's way into the library
OF all intellectual and cultured per-
cons. 1t is triumph of skill-litera-
ry, artistic and mechanical, and is in
keeping with the wonderful EXPOSE
tion which it is designed to perpetu-
ate. 1t is complete and perfect re
production of the greatest of Worlds
Fairs, and the only work that pretends
to cover the entire ground in such
way as to do complete justice to the
subject. 1t is certainly necessity for
those who have not visited the.
Worlds Fair, and perhaps a still
greater necessity for those who have.
1t is so well written and the illustra-
tions are so superb that one feels in
turning over it's pages that the great
Fair is before him. We strongly ad-
wise our readers to secure this truly
great work, and not to lose an oppor-
tunity of inspecting sample pages,
should such an opportunity occur.

The revenue from the tax on whisky
at 90 cents gallon amounts to $94,-
600 900 for the last fiscal year. Just
think of the amount of the red liquor
that that much tax shows that has
gone down the Threats of the con-
sumers. That amount spent in the
necessaries of life would feed every
family in the United States with good
wholesome food for long time. That
amount may be regarded as the per
cent of sin and innate cussedness
that exists in this country, as a very
small quantity represents moderate
drinking and medical purposes.

GEORGIA sENATORsHIP.
There Will Be Numerous Applicants, for
Succession to Colquit.


NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 3O.-A special
from Atlanta says: The succession of
Senator Colquit has assumed a well
defined character. Colquit's physical
disability puts him out of the race.
Governor Northern is candidate,
Major Bacon. speaker of the house, is
another and will stand on the platform
of free silver. 1t is also announced
that Hoke Smith will enter the race.
Smith and Cleveland are said not
to agree on the Hawaiian and other
questions, and the former does not
care to be longer hampered in his am
bition. Smith, however, does not want
to be handicapped as a mere admins
tration candidate, but by resigning on
some opportune occasion under show
of independence from the administra-
ton, while still retaining its support,
he will widen the constituency to
which he can appeal. This is the way
in which his position is gardtd here.
Col b. Staplemau, commissioner of
the Southern Railway and Steam
slip association, which has head
quarters at Atlanta, has announced
that he will be candidate to succeed
Senator Isham G. Harris of Tennessee.
He says the business interests claim
the right to be represented, and as a
result representatives OF business in
terests are holding out inducements to
Stapleman. Opposition to Harris
comes from the fact that he ignored
the protests of Tennessee business
men against his course in opposing re.
peal in the recent session of congress

hard TIMES.
How Manufacturers of the East Were
Affected.


Affected.
There ig no getting around the fact
that the country has just seen harder
times than ever before. All the fac
tories of the North have been closed
for the want of ready cash, and in
order to realize quickly on the stock
they had on hand during the panic
they sold at almost any price offered
them. Fortunately for us and our
friends we were compelled to pur-
chase our entire stock for our new
store during this panic. OF course as
the manufacturers found we were in
the market for so large stock, and for
cash at that, they fairly bid against
each other in order to get our orders.
All we had to do was to take the low;
est offer, and the consequence of all
this is that we are now loaded up
with tremendous stock of all kinds
of furniture, carpets, stoves, sewing
machines and pianos and organs. All
these were not only bought at less
than it would cost to make them by SO
per cent, but in addition to that we
took advantage of cut rates of freight,
by which alone we saved over $1,000
OF all these good things we are now
ready to give you the benefit. While
we cannot advertise all our prices,
space being 80 limited, we publish to-
day a few of our immense bargains,
for prices of which see our display ad
in this paper.
