Alma TO be Favored with the Reaulsition for
Golf Club
Through the liberality of A. w. Wright
and DIR. j. III. Lancashire Alma will soon
be favored with all the requisites for
golf club and il is expected that one will
be organized within a few weeks. Un-
der the supervision of Dr. Lancashire
forty acres of the Isaac Pierce farm just
north of the corporation limits, recently
purchased by Mr.. Wright, are being fit
ted up for the links and when the ground
has been put in the proper shape, seeded,
etc the grounds will be laid out by an
expert for what is termed nine hole
link. The membership of the club will
be open to those from town who wish TO
join, students and faculty of the college
and sanitarium guests. The fitting up
of the links is more especially 10 afford
pleasure and exercise for guests of the
sanitarium, but as stated above others
who wish can join the club. There is
also talk of fitting up baseball diamond
on the grounds and shooting place for
the Alma Gun Club. We can truthful
ly say that there are very few cities that
can boast of any such thing as grounds
of this nature and we can well afford to
feel proud of the acquisition.

His Farewell Sermon.
Preached in the Baptist Church Last Sunday
Evening.

Preached In the Baptist Church Last Sunday
Evening.
Rev. w. G. Clatworthy preached a
very impressive farewell sermon at the
Baptist church last Sunday evening.
He very appropriately chose for his text
a part of the seventh verse, thirteenth
chapter of st john What l do, thou
knowest not now" Prehaps never be-
fore had the members of the church lis
tened with deeper interest to the words
of their pastor who was about TO leave
them and seek new charge in far off
western state, and positively never before
in Alma had the pastor put as much in
tense feeling into his address as upon
that evening. The members of the Pres
byterian church had been invited to be
present and availed themselves of the in
vitation by attending in body. A
number of visitors from the other church
es in town were also present, in all fill
ing the sacred edifice TO its utmost capa-
city.
As we have remarked before Rev.
Clatworthy and his estimable family,
during their short stay in Alma made
many friends. both in and out of the
church, who deeply regretted their de-
parture, but his leaving will be felt most
deeply by the church. During his short
pastorate the church has experienced
new life of lasting benefit Fourteen
members were received during that per-
iod, nine by baptism and five by letter.
a large number of friends were at the
train Monday morning to bid them fare
well and God-speed on their journey.

Bonding the Comfy.

Last week we inserted a notice
of special election to be held in
this county on December Sth which
will be found on page four of this
issue.
The question for the voter to
consider is whether or not we
shall take advantage of a plan by
which the county saves two per
cent. annually, besides being
placed on cash basis rather than
continuing to doa credit business.
Under the present financial ar
rangement our Indebtedness, $685.
600, will double itself in fourteen
and two-sevenths years. By
bonding at five per cent it will re-
quire twenty years for the princi-
pie to double. An argument in
favor of the bonds also it that in
ten years the valuation of the
county will have increased so that
it will require a very slight adj
vance on the present tax rate to
take up the entire issue. On the
other hand, it might be claimed
that by bonding we shall have to
pay at least 81 80 on every dollar
we owe, while without bonding the
$4,000 could be settled within
that time, part Of it being paid
each year.
This is a question that Will eff
feet every tax payer, hence all
should be interested enough to
look into the affair and weigh well
the loss or gain, that ne may vote
intelligently.

ISinglaSS Found on Boise
River.

7. E. Denny, a prospector, has
returned from a trip up the Boise
river, where he found many things
that pleased him, both in mineral
and game, for which he alsolooked.
He succeeded in bagging anumber
of bear and other game, but the most
important thing he found, in general
opinion, is what amounts to really
pure isinglass. There seemed to
be, according to the limited pros
pecting he did, quite a considera-
bic deposit of this mineral, and,
though he cannot do anything
with it this season, he thinks he
will take the matter in hand early
in the spring and see what it is
worth. The deposit is but a short
distance from Boise and is easily
available, Stutrsiuan,

because of the adjacent buildings
it was a very difficult task to keep

The building burned was worth
about two hundred dollars and the

Mrs. J. c. Shepherd Dead.

God calls our loved ones. but we lose not wholly
What He hath given.
They liveon earth, in thought and deed and truly
Asin His heaven.
The sting of death permeated
the hearts of this entire communi-
ty on learning Of the death of Mrs.
Shepherd at her home in Pearl last
Saturday morning. She had been
sick near two weeks of pneumonia
but was getting along nicely and
considered out of danger from the
fact that she was able to sit up
much of the time AID had been
suffering very little. By her own
persistent request she was left alone
shortly after twelve o'clock Friday
night, those coming to the room
from then until after daylight the
next morning not disturbing her
because they though her only
asleep. At breakfast time it was
thought best to awake her but to
their surprise life had passed away
She looked as natural as life and
the conditions indicated an easy
death. From this and previous at
tacks it is believed that she died of
heart failure.
Mrs. Shepherd was born in Ohio
in 1912 During her childhood
and youth she lived with her par
ents in Texas, California and Ore
gon. There she was married to
Mr.. Hall, the father of VIII and
John Hall. In 1865 she came to
Idaho and was married to Mr.. J. c.
Shepherd in 1867. They made
their home at Emmett, and became
the parents ofseveral children only
two (which, Mary and Phillip, are
living now.
In the spring of 1898 the family
moved to Pearl where they have
lived since.
The body of Mrs. Shepherd was
brought to Emmett Sunday morn
ing, where funeral services were
conducted by Rev. Barrett after
noon in the NJ. Z. church, then
laid for its final rest in the Gene
terry west of town surrounded by
an entire circle of sympathising
friends.
Mrs. Shepherd was noble
christian woman, a dutiful, kind
wife, and loving mother, her all
being for husband and children
and we can aptly close with:
Thou art gone loving wife.
To that eternal home above:
Thy warfare here is ended
Thy home is now where all is love.
Thou art gone loving mother.
We will hear thy voice no more
He who guided you on earth
Will guide US to that heavenly shore
a loving husband is left to mourn
For the Cns who has gone to rest;
But. oh. how soon. he will. too,
BE with you and the blest.
Dear sister. thou art gone:
In heaven we hope TO meet
There with angels dwell
And rest al Jesus feet.

Miners Killed at Gem.

Last Monday night as a result
Of the bitter feeling that has ex-
listed between some of the miners
and the deputy sheriff on duty
since the riot last year, Dick Adj
ans, deputy of Sheriff Sutherland,
killed two miners, VIM. Kennedy
and Daniel Kildee.
In the evening Adams and Ken
nedy had some words. Later while
Adams was in the dance hall ad-
Joining Dixon,s saloon. the two
miners came into the saloon, Ken
nedy with a winchester across his
arm and a revolver in his pants,
Kildee carryinga revolver. After
learning Adams whereabouts they
started to the dance room through
an archway that connected the hall
and the saloon. They met Adams
Just as he was coming out and
Kennedy started to raise his gun
but Adams was too quick for him
and shot bim in the head killing
him instantly. BY this time Kill
dee had his revolver ready for ac-
tion but Adams quick as lightning
gave him the same treatment.
Adams surrendered himself to
the officers at Wardne7 aud the
next day the coroners jury declared
that he acted in self-defence, and
his act was lusntshle.

Solution Found for a
Problem on the Payette.
BENCH TO BE WAEERED.
Canal to Be Taken Out on the South Side
and Carried Across on
Bridge.

The problem of getting water on
thehat on the north side of the Pay
cite river opposite Emmett has
been solved and a company organ
lied to effect the reclamation of
those lands. This company is call
ed the Canyon Canal company,
limited. The directors and officers
are: X. ?. Plowman, president;
Harry S. Workman, secretary; l.
P. Marcellus, j. D. Riggs, and
Charles A. Myer.
Heretofore all plans for taking
out canal have proceeded on the
theory that it must be wholly on
the north side of the river. The
new company proposes to take Il
canal out on the south side and
cross to the north side. Mr.
Workman said yesterday it had
been found that a canal could be
taken out about four miles above
Marsh & Ireton's aud carried across
the river some two miles below
that place. A tunnel will be re-
quired which will be 700 feet in
Nength. This will cut through a
proiecting spur of rock and i'm
mediately below, the canal will be
taken across to the north side on a
bridge.
It will be fourteen miles from
the head Of the ditch to the head
of the Emmett flat. and at that
point an elevation of 80 feet will
have been secured. 1t is possible
also that the river will be re-cross-
ed with a pipe line to supply wa
ter for the irrigation of the lands
above Emmett on the south side
The total length of the canal will
be 81 miles, and the estimated cost
is 100000. The survey was made
by R. W. Faris. The plans have
been filed with State Engineer
Ross, with an application for a
permit to divert the water needed
3OO-second feet. Mr.. Ross says
the plans are among the finest ever
filed in the office, showing that the
work has been done with great
care.
The company is proceeding un-
der the Carey act, reviving the
project started some time ago by
Iowa people. The unclaimed land
was segregated at that time by the
state for reclamation under the
Carey act, and this company takes
hold where the old one left off.
The amount of land to be reclaim
ed under the Carey act is 5000
acres; there is 1854 acres Of state
land under the proposed canal, and
5210 acres owned by private par
ties. In addition, there is 5000
acres on the south side that may
be covered by crossing with a pipe
line, as stated.
The land on that bench has long
been regarded as about the best in
the state. The soil is 20 feet deeI
and it is believed that 1t will bt
worth $50 an acre when water shal
have been supplied for its irriga
tion.
The company expects to be able
to finance the enterprise without
difficulty, -Stateemun,

Irrigation Congress.

The National Irrigation Con-
gress which will meet at Chicago.
Illinois. November 2l, y. % and
"a is creating wide interest and
promises to be an unusual success.
The national irrigation movement
has become a broad popular move
ment and eastern commercial in
terests have readily taken hold Of
the idea ofreclaiming and populat-
ing the arid west and thus creating
a great home market for their goods
The best authorities OF iriiga-
ton and forestry have been secur-
ed to speak and give illustrated
lectures. and men Of national fame
and renown as orators and states
men, will address the Congress at
the great Auditorium theatre on
subjects of national interest to the
West.
Under the constitution of the
Congress the mayor of each city Of
25,0O0 or less population is entitl-
ed to appoint two delegates, while
cities of greater population are en-
titled to four delegates. Each ag-
ricultural and horticultural associ-
alton, each society of engineers, ir-
rigation company and each hoard
of trade and chamber of commerce
IS also entitled to two delegates.
Reduced railway rates have been
arranged Of one fare plus two dol
lars for the round trip to Chicago
from nearly all western points,
good until November 2sth. All
delegates or persons receiving in
vitations to the Congress can Oh
tain this rate on the certificate
plan. That Is, travellers should
buy single trip ticket to Chicago
and take a certificate mot a re-
ceipt) from the ticket seller at the
point of starting. This certificate
will be stamped at the Central
Music Hall, Chicago. where the
sessions of the National Irrigation
Congress will be held, and will
then entitle the holder, upon pre-
sentation to the ticket agent at
Chicago, to a return ticket for on
ly two dollars.
This liberal reduction will ena-
bic a great many people to take
the trip to Chicago at a moderate
cost.
