Serious Accident At HALEY.

Manrel Chaguette, HALEY res
taurant keeper, met with serious
accident Wednesday as the branch
train was leaving HALEY. The
stock yards gates had been left
swinging and Chaguette leaning
his head through the car window
received terrific blow rendering
him unconscious. The scalp was
badly cut and torn loose from the
skull for several inches. The
train was backed Up to the station
and the unfortunate man turned
over to the physicians care. II ihe
train had been under full head
way the force of the blow would
undoubtedly have caused instant
death.

Would Stop The Floods.

The occasional great floods of thu
waters of the Missouri and the
Mississippi Valleys always direct
attention to the possibility of theil
prevention by the construction Of
irrigation reservoirs. All the West
in fact the whole nation, is inter
ested in the plan to have the gov
ernment build a system of storage
reservoirs near the headwaters OF
streams to mitigate floods and lik-
wise to reclaim desert land. As
the government controls the rivers,
it could appropriately undertake
the diversion of superfuous water
into reservoirs, where it could be
later used for irrigation. More
over the great area of irrigated des-
ert would act as secondary reser-
voir. Fancy single irrigation of
or application of water to ten or
twenty million acres along the
watershed of the Missouri and its
tributaries. This single operation
would absorb the food of great
river. The nation is certainly in
terested in the undertaking of such
work which would probably end
the floods that cause such loss of
life and property. The water
which now swells the Missouri, its
tributaries and at times the Mis-
sissippi to undue proportions would
be diverted for use in transforming
deserts into gardens. At the same
time the government could depend |
on making the work pay itself.

SH0SHONE TO SHINE
Electric Light Plant Rapidly Nearing
Completion Lights Soon
Be Turned On.

The remoteness from town of the
generating plant of the Shoshone
Electric Power 4 Water Company
has prevented persons from know
ing how near to completion the
system now is. On the site of
plant beside the large stone pen
stock, is a substantial stone and
cement building that will hold the
machinery that will generate the
electricity and in addition 70 this
the building will contain living
rooms for the persons who must
constantly be at the power house
to care for the machinery. The
pen-stock is several rods east of the
power house and the water will be
conveyed from the pen-stock to the
power house through a steel tube.
From the power house there is a
sluiee way blasted through the solid
rock to convey the water back to
the river again. In this way none
of the water is lost nor does it in
any way interfere with irrigation be-
low the site of the plant.
From the plant to the town the
poles to convey the wire are now
in place and fitted with the neces-
sary attachments. The generat-
ing machinery has been slow in ar
irving on account Of the great rush
of orders for such machinery this
year, but the wheels and, all the
connections viii be1n the ground
within few days and Shoshone
lighted by electricity will be real
lied.
On account of making the plant
somewhat larger than was at first |
planned and by encountering more
rock and having great amount of
to do the cost of the sys-
tenn will exceed the original esti-
mates by several thousands of dol
lars.
The contractors who have charge
of laying the water mains expect
% begin the laying of the pipes
shortly and with a large force of
men the water works system will
De rushed to completion.

The aggregate amount due the
state on back taxes, portion of
which has been paid in, is distrib-
uted among the following funds:
Levy for state general
purposes prior to 95.$40, ,4O2 S3
University levy . 524 O3
Wagon road levy ..-... S,401 38
Bond deficiency levy 534 56
Industrial school levy 1874 ~
1t should be matter of pride to
the taxpayers of Lincoln county
to know that this county is one OF
the three counties not on the list
and that there is not one dollar due
the state from Lincoln county and
left unpaid. 1t is certainly due to
the carelessness of former state
treasurers that an amount of money
so large, nearly 100000, should be
due the state from these different
counties and left so many years
uncollected.
