No special meeting OF the county

The Mountainhome Bulletin,
speaking Of the present boom at
Minidoka cannot resist giving Sho-
shone little dig on the side. 1t
says: Every man looking for
work can get it by going to Mini
doka. Every train brings in
crowds Of people to The place and
they no sooner arrive than they
are put TO work ii they want it.
The place is looking like huge
army encampmcnt, the gamblers
being there in force. Shoshone is
practically deserted, so it is report
cd, and there is possibility that
the new enterprise at Minidoka
will deprive the Shoshoneites OF
the business heretofore enjoyed
with the Twiu Falls settlers"
The Righteousness OF the later
part of this item will strike every
person familiar with conditions in
Shoshone, as soon as he reads it.
Instead OF being practically desert
ed' the village has been ENJOYING
unusually brisk business this fall.
Several now business establish
ments have been opened in the
last six weeks and the winter trade |
promises to far exceed that OF last
year. II this constitutes pratical
desertion the village would like TO
participate in larger quantities of
the article.
As to the Twin Falls business

The new branch has been complet-
I'd and is in operation. But it will
'ever stop there because Twin
Falls business men will buy their
;acas from wholesale centers and
'aip them in over the new road i'm
tead Of feeighting them from Shes :
zone.
Until the branch is in operation,
however, the Bulletin man can re-
rain from worry ON account OF suf- ,
ering Shoshone. Men who know b
heir business are not going to :

falls for the sake of visiting the Z
coming town of NIiuikoka when =

WlLLsNOT RESIGN.
JUDGE Wheeler Likes the Work Though he Is
Past Seventy.

Occasionally some Vermont paper
comes out with an item to the effect
that some particular person will seek
to be appointed to aposition onthefed-
dral bench should Judge Wheeler de-
eide to retire. \ recent dispatch OF
that importfrom Washington refers to
Judge Darling, assistant secretary OF
of the navy, whose name is being con-
sidered by the Vermont delegation for
endorsement in connection with two
other places, one of them a place on
the federal bench, in the event that he
vacates his present position.
The talk about Judge Wheeler retlr-
ing comes from the fact that he is past
70 years oftage and may retire on full
pay. Judge Wheeler was II years old
Aug 30 OF this year. In March 1871,
President Hayes appointnd him a
United States Judge, it being what is
termed life appointment, When he
was 70 years old he could have retired
on full pay, and he can do so at any
time. It:is not his nature to be idle,
however, and being in full possession
of mental and physical vigor it is on
ly natural that he should elect to con-
tinue in the work which he enjoys and
which every one knows he is abund-
antly qualified to perform. No reason
is apparent why Judge Wheeler should
not remain right where he is. -Brattle-

ROMEO AND JULIET
Simvillss Production To Be At Library Hall
Dec 20,

Simvelle's scenic and electric pro
duction of Shakespeare's most below
ed and popular play will be given in
its entirety at Library hall Tuesday
evening Dec 20. 1t will be one of the
big fashionable events of the entire
season without question. Very little
if any, of the logical scenery will be
used, as all recognized authorities
have been faithfully followed and a
most elaborate scenic invesiture has
resulted.
There will be shown here picturesque
street scenes in both Verona and
Mantua; the Palace of Capulets and
the Cloisters of a Convent: Juliet's
Chamber: Interior of the Monument OF
the Capulets and the famous balcony
scene the latter shown with
wealth of detail flowers rioting in pro-
fusion over the balcony and ancient
garden wall, the silvery moonlight
streaming through the wood and over
the most beautiful love scene ever
written.
All of the great stars in the theat-
rical world are making Shakespearian
revivals this season. There is a pos
tive demand for the legitimate drama,
and justly so. In "Romeo and Ju.
liet'' we have the most popular play
of the greatest dramatist If all time
forced into view by tn public demand
for better and stronger plays than
the modern dramatistS are able to
provide.

Think Gentleman Burglar
May Be Alive.
STATE PRISON SUSPICION
Adams Former Neishbors Sus.
pect He May Have Been
JussIed to Canada.

Cavendish, Dec 0.-Excitement in
Proctorsvill, over the report that
Clarence Adams, the gentleman bur
glar" of Chester was not dead at the
time his body was supposed to be taken
from Windsor has been renewed by
the statement of former state prison
guard.
He states tina those connected with
the prison were given to understand
that Adams died from rheumatism in
stead of pneumonia.
Since the recent developments in re-
gard to the conduct of the institution.
an this latter statement with it, there
is again clamor that the gray of Ad-
ans be opened. The man who makes
the statement, however, says that he
don't place much stock in the story
that Adams is not dead.
The various reports and surmises
have increased the sentiment in favor
of having the grave opened, and ex-
aiming the contents of the coffin, and
il is stated that there is strong like
lihood that some move will be made in
the near future.

JAP LOSS WAS HEAVY

! LONDON, Dec. IA Mukden report
says that the japanese opened il heavy
fire on the Russian position east of the
railway at o'clock Sunday morning
| but the Russians had searchlights in
readiness and for the first time used
them. These army lights proved very
! effective, and deadly rifle and artillery
| fire being concentrated upon the Japa-
nese advance they were driven back
with heavy loss.
The bOmbardment of Poutiloff U.one
| Tree hill was renewed vigorously ut

without direct attack.
The japanese are largely colonizlng
southern Manchuria, sending there
100000 emigrants, and they are also
sending many young Chinese from
Manchurla to Japan paying their trav
cling expenses.
Advices from Tokyo last night say
that, the battering by the japanese of
the Port Arthur fleet continues. and
there is little ground for expecting that
the ships ever again will engage the
japanese
In order 10 settle the question of all
future availability of the Russian war
ships the japanese continue to drop
shells into the sunken hulks. The
whereabout of the torpedo dcstroyers
continues doubtful, but it is thought
they are sheltering outside the harbor.
The cruiser Saiyen, flagship of the
detached squadron. while cooperating
with the army in bombarding Port
Arthur struck Russian mine and was
enveloped in smoke and sank very
rapidly.

The batteship Sevastopol continues
at anchor outside. but possibly returns
to the harbOr at night and anchors in
side the outer boom, which protects

heavy weather has given added protec-
ton TO the vessel
Naval experts are discarding the
theory that the Russians themselves
sank any of the ships, and the fact
that the vessels first showed lists
while in exposed positions and the eff
forts made to save the SevaStopol are
regarded as conclusive evidence
against the theory of their being sunk
by the Russians. \ majority of the
sunken warShips lie headed northward.
They received the bulk of the fire
across their port sides, and the fact
that at least two of them showed lists
to Starboard gives rise to the theory
of japanese shells exploding inside

gisue Are Getting Jumped On for What They Did
DIDN'T CATCH THE BEAR.
Judge Bond Thought at First to Take Him In
His Hands.

Though Surveyor George j. Bond of
Searsburg is headed for the seventy
year mark and has perhaps spent more
time in the woods of Vermont than
any other man in the state, he strange
ly enough had never seen a bear In its
native wilds until last Thursday. On
that day be was surveying in the som
erset woods, He was squirting
though his transit trying to locate
the pole held by an assistant number
OF rods away, when there appeared in
his linelof vision big bear.
Mr. Bond owns to having become
excited. His only thought was pan
icky fear that the bear would make its
escape before he could get it. SO he
made a headlong dash at the animal,
wholly forgetting that he was totally
unarmed, not having even so much as
IA jack knife. The bear, instead OF
boiling took good look at Mr. Bond,
opened its'mouth and lolled half
yard of red tongue out of a mouth that
looked like the open door of red hot
furnace.
Thereupon Mr. Bond changed his
mind about tackling a 200 pound bear
with his naked fists. He stopped and
looked at the bear and the bear looked
back at him. Then the latter swung
around and ambled off into the forest.

PANAMA CANAL.
Bunau-VarilIa's View as to Sea Level
Waterway.

PARIS, Dec. 12-Phillippe Bunau-
VariIa, who, before being minister of
Panama to Washington, was the prin-
cipal engineer of the Panama canal
gives an authorized interview relative
to the building of the canal at sea
level NJ. BunauNarilla says that the
construction of the canal at sea level
is not only possible, but it must ulti-
mately be so constructed, as are other
connections between oceans, like the
straits of BospOrus between the Black
sea and the Aegean sea. Asked if the
Panama canal ought to be constructed
at once at sea level, NJ. Bunau-Varilla
replied:
Not at all. To he perfect sea level
the canal must be free from any arti-
fetal work, and there is perhaps no en-
gineer who would he willing to accept
diately without dams on the upper
Chagres to regulate the floods and
without tide locks at Panama to coun-
teract in the canal the currents due to
the ten foot tide in the Pacific. The
notion of a free discharge from the
Chagres in a lockleSs sea level canal
must result from experience which
would he acquired 10y working a lock
canal with a central lake such as that
| devised in 1892 and which was adopt
ed by the isthmian canal commission in
1901. The construction Of such canal
would give experimental data about the
necessary cross section of the canal,
about the slopes Of the deep cut at
Culebra and about the sediments of the
Chagrcs, all of which are essential for
building sea level passage success
