An Adventure in Dixie Sough-Man and Scrape,
Floats out on the Raging Tide-Other Items.

One day this week a loud rumbling
noise was heard which was supposed to
be an earthquake shock. and there
| wasn't any one that knew the differ
ence until Friday morning when Mr.
j. II. Lowell of Roswell came rushing
up and said there was Il large break in
the Riverside ditch and that he was
going to get large force of men at
work on it that morning. The noise
that was heard was the water coming
down with such a tremendous force
that it broke the ditch Mr.. Lowell
finally succeeded in getting his men to-
gether and they went to work with a
right good WILL Mr. G. Z. Lee was one
of them and had to cross Dixie slough
which was up very high. He studied
awhile whether to go across or not and
while studying about it. in his horses
plunged. The water came up to the
top OF the wagon box nearly washing it
off and did succeed in washing every
thing out of the wagon excepting Mr..
Lee and a ten gallon keg full of water.
Willie Wilson was ordered to take their
dinner over to them and of course he
had to cross the slough. During the
day one of the men, Will Mckenzie by
name, barely escaped being buried be
meath slide. Along about supper
time they all began to grow hungry
and tired, hitched up their horses and
turned their heads toward camp which
was in Mr.. Wilson's yard which they
had taken possession of. While cross
ing the slough they noticed the wagon
grow lighter and the horses seemed to
pull with better spirit. They never
knew what the matter was until Mr.
Clark followed out and said; "Why
where is Walter Hard?" and Mr..
Hoskins says Nv by where is hep" All
at once they heard a faint moan behind
them. Lo and benold there was Wal
ter in the slough trying to swim for the
shore. They all said "Why Walter
how came you there and what are you
dOing?' He answered them saying,
81 was trying to hold that scraper
down which was in the wagon and just
as you were going up that hill the
scraper slipped, slipped and down we
went into the water" Well Of all the
hallooing and laughing you never
heard tell of. Walter then got in the
wagon. They finally arrived at camp
when Mr.. Will Ross told Walter that
be had better ride in his wagon next
time. They sat down to a heavily la
den table and proceeded to partake of
its contents. They went to bed resoly-
ing to be more careful next time they
crossed the slough and dropped off in
to nights repose. TO be continued
until some future time.

Artesian Water in Abundance Promising Pros
pects-FIood Repaifs-Wooi Sold at 7 Cents
March 2Sth.

George Newell has two flowing wells.
One flowed at 1870 feet in depth and
the other at at $40 feet, and is having
another well put down. ID. Dodge is
doing the work, and it is now a demon
strated certainty that artesian water
eah be got III the Snake river valley valley :,
which will cause the valley to become
the garden spot Of Idaho, and those
that avail themselves of the openings
and opportunities that are now open
and improve them, will be the lucky
ones The soil is very productive. and
is destined to become one Of the finest
fruit sections in the world, while it
will produce cereals, grasses and vege-
tables il abundance, also fine building
stone. Artesian water provides the
finest water for irrigating, as it is free
from all nOXiOus seeds which is not
the case with water taken from running
streams. But the greatest satisfaction
about arteSian water is that it belongs
to the land owner absolutely and he
has full control Of it. 1t is a steady
flow and to be depended upon. If
water from bitches is worth $40 per
inch and arteSian water is worth 800
or more The water thus far has all
proved to be warm, which is another
advantage, giving an early start in the
spring to crops.
ID. l.. Williams has just completed
the repairs on the Wilson creek road,
costing little oyer $500. Caldwell do
mating 500 of it. The road is now in
far better condition than ever before,
having been widened in several places
and several bridges put in, and the
rocks are all cleaned out. There is
plenty of water on the road and the
very finest grass.
Snake river is now as high as it got
last year, and still on the rise. 1t bids
fair to be very high.

the Rothschi!ds and others who have
the whole world by the throat and have

The Kind of Women Men Like.

'What sort of a woman does a man
lovef" was asked not long ago of an emf
nent man. y coy woman" he replied
emphatically; "a woman who knows
nothing about theories or politics; who is
good for no particular reason, but simply
because she can't be otherwise; wom-
an who can make good things TO eat, can
dress well even if she Is expensive and
give room that attractive touch which
makes man want to stay IN it. She
ought to know all the latest gossip-not
scandal-and chat about it in womanly
way which TO n man is irresistible She
should taboo mannish styles OF dress, espe-

HE PREACHED THEN
EARLY CAREER OF FRED DOUGLASS,
ORATOR AND REFORMeR.
Vast Change In Public Sentiment In Fifty
Years-Born . Slave, he Became Pr
oneer Observation-Disclosures The North
Star-His Private Life.
iSneciaI Correspontience.l


ROCHESTER, Nov. 19.-There is nothing
that more accurately shows the vast
change that has taken place in the senti-
ments Of the American people and the in
stitutions of the American republic during
the past half century than the manner in
which Fred Douglass was received Eere
something like so years ago and the man
ner in which he is received whenever he
comes here now. Then there were those
who treated him with contumely. Now lie
is guest honored by everybody.
His first appearance here was as speak
er in the old Bethel church that used to
rtand on Washington street near the ca
nal but has long ago disappeared. His
earliest efforts as a speaker were religious.
After his escape from slavery he went TO
Providence or some other New England
town, and there he became conspicuous as
an eyhorter. Rochester was at that time
Headquarters of almost all the current
isns and movements for reform. a Roch-
Ester abolitionist who went to Providence
heard of the unusual eloquence displayed
nightly at the revival meetings that were
then shaking that New England city by
an escaped slave named Frederick Doug
lass. The visitor went to hear the negro
speaker and was completely carried away.
The result wss that shortly after Douglass
received an invitation to visit Rochester
under the auspices of the local circle Of alb
olitionists. 1t was believed that he could
speak as well upon the abolition question
as he could upon religious matters. The
experiment fully justified the expectation.
There are only few yet alive in this town
who remember the address he delivered at
that time. Miss Maria q. Porter, a tiny
old maiden Lady, with white hair and a
long memory, is one. She sat in tho par
Jor of her residence here today and told me
about it.
