I In this cir on last Sunday
morning at 8 o'clock, Edna.
daughter of lr. and Mrs. Placide
P. Sigur, agd % months and 20
days.
After an .lness of several days.
duration lille Edna, infant daugh-
ter of Ha. Placide P. Sigur and
Marie De)houssaye, passed away
from thistle of troubles and trib-
ulatiops } the great world beyond.
Littleidna had barely reached
the age of two years when the
chill had of the dark angel bore
her froo her fond parents to the
bright realms above. She had
reachd that period in life when
her itelligence and winning ways
could be the more appreciated by
thos who knew her, and her de-
mis- at this time is cruel blow to
all # them,
This home, which was once
brghtned by this charming little
chld,.s today sad and gloomy,
aid where once the house resound-
Ell with her childish prattle all is
row,till and silent. A mothers
heaJ is broken and a fathers hap
pinss destroyed by the weight of
thi' misfortune, and their eyes
arcast with longing gaze to
lite grave, the place where their
Idle Edna has been gently and
sirowfully laid away, and their
oily hope is that some day they
ill meet her in the glory of an
cher world.
All! Death is sad, but sadder
still is the sting it leaves behind.
S is sad to have loved and lost;
nd the only star which can pierce
he gloom of the parting is the
knowledge that, at some future
ime, we shall meet again our
owed ones.
For we shall feel the sting of ceaseless
pain,
If there we meet thy gentle presence
not;
Tor hear the voice we love, nor read
again
h thy earnest eyes the tender thought"

A Good Yield.

A few days ago 100 bushels o.
alfalfa seed was threshed from six
acres of ground, on a ranch just
across Snake river from Parma
The ranch was formerly owned by
F. J. Smith, the Caldwell attorney.
Estimating the value of the crop
at ten cents pound, it amounts to
$500 for the seed alone on the six
acres. Pretty good, isn't it? Add
to this the value of the first crop
OF hay, and that six acres has pro-
duced this season, $l2O per acre.
And still some people in this
country cannot understand what
makes the lands in this section so
yaluable-Parma Herald.

WILL HAVE LIGHTS
Village Fathers Granted . franchise
to Robert Hayes for an EIec-
trlc Light System.

Tuesday evening was held one
of the most auspicious meetings of
the village board that has been
held in a six month. Robert
Hayes of Pocatello. who is known
throughout the state as prominent
| ly interested in the Pocatello,
Blackfoot and Idaho Falls electric
light systems, was before the board
with a franchise and asked that
he be granted the right to put in
an electric light and power system
in the village Mr.. Hayes read
the franchise to the board and
explained at length what he and
his associates expected to do in the
lighting line. After considerable
discussion, one or two minor
changes were made in the docu-
ment, and an ordinance was passed
granting MIR. Hayes the right to
use the village streets and alleys
in which to erect a lighting and
power system.
Steps will be taken at once, Mr..
Hayes said, to procure the neces-
sary material and get it on the
ground before spring opens, and
as soon as the frost is out of the
ground active operations will be
commenced in installing the sys-
tenn. There is little doubt but
what another year will see Sho-
shone blessed with lighting plant !
Of which the village will have every
reason to be proud.

Created Quite a Stir.

Shoshone had a genuine fire
scare Wednesday morning, when
the housing to the water tank on
the New Columbia hotel was dis
covered to be on fire. At first
glance the entire culinary depart
ment OF the establishment appeared
to be in flames, and there was a
wild hustling for pals and a mad
rush to the rear Of the hotel where
a fire line was formed and water
was soon flying plentifully over
the burning building.
1t was but the work of a few
moments to get the fire under con-
troll, and when the flames were ex-
tinguished it was found that the
damage done was not nearly SO
great as was at first expected.
Mr.. Keefer soon had men at
work clearing away the burnt
woodwork, and the water tank i,

THE VIOLET GIRLS SECRET.
Long Kept Up Deception Cruelty Re
vealed BY Accident.

All the fellows at the CLUB were
wondering. Every day the same
beauty in white broadcloth and err
mine had driven past the club There
Is nothing unusual about broadcioth
and ermine. but the girl always wore
a mass Of purple violets that appar
emily numbered 1000 individual
blooms, worth $40 at the most unpre
tentious florists. The fellows won
dered at the size and ineyitableness
Of the violets. They wondered what
hapless male was sending these flow
ers, because no woman could find it
in her heart 10 part with so much
money for such transitory decoration
And one day the mystery was
solved. Some of the fellows were
standing on the pavement when Van
saw her. Il say, here she comes"
he said The violet girl!" the 9th
ers cried in chorus The springy vic
toria stopped. the girl stood up and
then alighted- As she stepped to the
pavement her inevitable violets fell
to the ground. Van grabbed the mass
first and delivered them to the girl.
But. alas! Instead of the damp, de-
ightful touch, the violets were dry.
They were made of cloth. And so the
elbows ceased wondering.-New York

Supreme Court Called Upon to Pass
On the ConstitutionaIity of the
New Irrigation Act.

The constitutionality of one O.
the most important acts Of the leg
islature, the irrigation law is now
being tried out before the supreme
court, says the Pocatello Tribune
The case is that of Jesse r. s.
Bulge, prosecuting attorney oi
Bear Lake county, vs.. Alfred
Bulge, judge OF the fifth judicial
district The court has granted an
alternate writ of prohibition re-
turnable at Boise on Dec. Z, to
restrain Judge Bulge from further
proceedings in certain case of
f. J. Turner, water commissioner
of water division No. 1, of the state
of Idaho, against all claimants to
the right to the use of the water of
Dairy Canyon creek, whose rights
have not been adjudicated. The
action is for the alleged purpose of
quieting title to the right to use of
such waters.
The original defendants, repre-
sented by the county attorney,
claim that the law is unconstitu-
tional, because it seeks by judicial
decision to destroy their title with
out due process of law. The main
specification is that under the law
the watermaster may bring suit
against all the claimants or users
of water under his jurisdiction and,
by publication in a newspaper des-
ignating every affected person as
unknown" thus gain service upon
them, when the case may go to
trial and the claimants or users be
ousted, unless an effective defense
be made 1t is claimed that in
southern Idaho there are thou
sands of persons depending upon
irrigation whose rights could be
taken from them in this way. The
suit also attacks those features of
The law which provide that the de-
PENDANTS shall pay not only their
own costs but plaintiffs costs and
those of the court and publication,
and all other expenses incidental
to the suit. The law attacked is
an intricate one, seeking to cover
every phase of the irrigation ques-
lion. 1t has already invoked num-
srous litigations. The alternate
writ granted acts as stay of the
operation of the law until the case
S fairly adiudicated.
