5oseph Birsh Alleges That Negli0-
enCe and CarIessness of Electric
Company Causing Injury.
ASKS FOR FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS
Plaintiff Came in Contact With a
Live Wire While Working on the
New Bank Building.

Joseph Birsh last Saturday filed a
five thousand dollar damage suit
against the Citizens Electric Com
pany for injuries received the thirty
first Of last August, due, he alleges, to
the negligence of the company.
In his complaint the plaintih states
thathe was at the time Of his injury,
working as hod carrier and mason's
helper in the new building being
erected for the Bank of Fergus county
ION the corner of Main street and
Third avenue. In immediate prosim-
ity to the rear of the building, the
Citizens Electric company had cleo
trio wires strung. It is further al
legged that though the company was
aware that workmen on the building
had to work close to the wires, the
wires were not sufficiently insulated
to make them harmless. That a high
!, and dangerous current of electricity
was turnhd on the wires on the morn
ing of August 3lst Of last year and
that while the plaintiff was perform
ing his duties as hod carrier and mas
on's helper, he came in contact with
one of the wires and that as result
of it's insufficient insulation, he re-
ceived severe shock which caused
' him great injury. His left wrist was
so badly burned and blistered that it
has since been useless to him. That
he was knocked from the building tc
the ground, distance of twenty feet
and sustained broken rib and
dislocation of the left shoulder.
AS a result of this dislocation, he
has since been unable to perform his
work as hod carrier and mason's
helper. 1t is further alleged that the
company or it's agents or servants
knew of the dangerous condition O.
the wire and were negligent in failing
to sufficiently insulate it. That thu
defendent paid $3.50 for medical at
tendance during his illness caused BY
1 the injury and for that reason, th'
court is asked to grant him damages
in the sum of SIS, $50. Smith & Bogg
are the attorneys for Birsh.

the TOWN OF KENDALL.
Some Of the Happenings During the
Past Week in That Busy Camp.

While returning from an extended
trip to the Upper judith, the Demo-
crat representative stopped over night
in Kendall. There is no use in dis
'~puting the fact that the little min
ing camp in the Mocassin is the best
town for it's size in the county and
the merchants are handling large
amount of trade for this time of the
year. Both of the large cyanide
plants are running to their full capac-
ity and a considerable amount of de-
velopment work is being done through
out the district by small property
owners and prospectors.
In a social way it is lively camp:
dances and parties of all descriptions
make life interesting ior the young
people living in the camp and yicin-
ity. On Friday night last, masq-
uerade ball was held, which for gen.
eral all around good time beat any
thing that has ever happened in the
camp. The attendance was large and
had it not been for the fact that the
doorkeeper was suffering from spec
les of trance ow ing to the startling
variety of some of the costumes, a
large amount of 'sthe root of all evil'
would have been accumulated. Prizes
were given to the couples who showed
the most originality and the best taste
in the art Of dressing. Miss Nellie
searles and w. N. (SkinnyN Wareham
carried away the prize for originality,
Miss Searles was dressed as Buffalo
Bill, but it was not necessary for the
lady to do any roping for PARTNERS and
several narrow escapes occurred during
the rush to secure dances. MraA Ware.
ham represented a Mexican cowpuchel
and the couple fully earned the prize
by the unique and original character
of their costumes. Charles Benson
and wife secured the prize for being
the best dressed couple on the floor.
The dance was given as benefit to
Mrs. Thompson.
The population of the town is in

CONGRESSMAN FRENCH.

1t does not require any great in
sight to perceive that there are a
good many patriots in Idaho who
believe that Idaho never can take
her rigntful place among the great
commonwealths until each and all
Of we patriots have been made Con-
gressmen. Cherishing that belief,
they cannot help but feel under
obligation to, directly or indirectly,
publicly or privatly, do what in
them lies to deprecate Congress
man French. Just now the vogue
among we patriots is to damn Mr..
French with faint praise. as: "He
is nice young man, but so young"
"He means we'll, but of course, a
boy cannot accomplish much" And
all the time those patriots who are
condemning Mr.. French's youth
fulness are yelling, "give the young
men a chance" Readers of THE
TRIBUNE should know that Mr..
French has made a very creditable
record as representative in Congress.
He has probably done as well as
any man, except some miracle of
craftsmanship, could do. That he
has not accomplished more is not
his fault. He represents a State
that has one vote out of four or FIVE
hundred. In Congress, as else
where, it is votes that count. Give
Mr.. French 20 votes and in two
minutes he would become great and
influential. AS a matter Of fact,
Mr.. French stands we'll in Congress.
His only weakness is the weakness
of his State. 1t is contemplate to
charge inefhciency to Mr.. French
when population is to blame. And
it is contemplate in we patriots to
seek to build themselves up by tear
ing down some one else. Mr..
French has shown himsel to be a
clear, capable man. He is entitled
to great credit, and if he is never
reelected to Congress, he should
be permitted to retire with the
knowledge that toretains the respect
and admiration of the people OF
Idaho. f. sa

majority, and in Nampa was imam
imous. II seems, therefore, that th !
peop.e of Nampa consider them
selves vitality interested and expect
TO reap large benefits. directly and
indirectly, from the purchase Of
the Ridenbaugh canal. None will
view with greater pleasure the
good things that come 10 Nampa
than will Caldwell. Ii will be one
of our greatest delights to see our
enterprising neighbor grow and
prosper. All along the line there
will be rejoicing. The home stead
ers who are depending on the Deer
Flat reservoir will be exceedingly
glad that another obstacle has been
removed from the progress of Gov.
eminent reclamation, and they will
feel that the promise of early activ-
tiles is now near ful6illment. 1t is
evident that new hope has been in
jected into hundreds of homes, and
sense of certainty and buoyancy
has displaced the feeling of doubt
and depression which has more OF
less oppressed this section for some
time past. Real estate prices re-
sponded promptly to the change Of
feeling by advancing from 10 to &c
per cent. When people feel that
things are all right, they are ali
right.

PEACE.

Peace between Russia and Japan
has been concluded. The impress
ion prevails that in the diplomatic
contest Russia was more successful
than in the sanguinary struggle.
1t must be remembered, though,
that whatever Russia gained she
gained through the magnanimity
of Japan. But all her gain is sim
ply an escape from certain penalties
which, according to the rules of war,
japan had right TO impose. She
has lost every point for which the
war was waged and lost vastly
more than if she had conceded all
that Japan asked before the war.
twill ever be source of gratifi-
cation and pride to the American
people that it was through the wis
dom and humanity of their Presi-
dent that the belligerents were
brought together and induced to
agree upon terms. Mr.. Roosevelt
has now rounded out his career by
showing, like the father of his
country. that he, too, is first in
war, first in peace and first in the
hearts Of his countrymen. The man

branch. The man whose alleged
recklessness has been the dread OF
timid sonls, now stands before all
the world as the greatest and brav-
est lover Of peace and order and
good will. It is doubtful if in all
time any great man other than
Theodore Roosevelt, has lived to
see all his traducers so utterly
shamed and COMPOUNDED. Ali the
nations rise to honor him. All the
people of his own country trust and
love him.

Il OF U

There are, perhaps, many of our citi-
zens, says the Caliente Express, who
do not know that among the natural
our of this vicinity there is one
that bids fair, with proper develop
ment, to take it's place as a leading
factor in the future growth of Caliente.
We refer to our natural hot springs.
Among other places, there is a tun-
mel a quarter of a mile north of town,
owned by Charles Culverwell, which
contains wealth equal to many of the
bonanzas discovered in the gold fields
of Alaska. This tunnel contains water
naturally heated to 104 degrees Fair
enheit. Unfortunately the floods
which filed that portion of the valley
to a depth of four feet, have wrought
considerable injury to the improve
ments of the place which had formerly
been made by Mr.. culverwen. This
injury, however, viii be remedied by
him and the springs placed in proper
condition for beneficial use. If any
one doubts the great advantage which
it is possible for this esource to mean
to a town, let him look at Idaho
Springs or Glenwood in Colorado, on
let him view the astonishing process
whereby the metropolis of a state has
been artistically reared among razor
back hogs and malarial swamps of Ar
kansas. We believe that the future of
Caliente is in good hands for the prop
er development of this r~esource

A MINING STORY.

Mark Twain tells a good story about
a couple of California miners:
"Two miners used to go to the
neighboring village in the afternoon
and return every night with supplies.
Part of the distance they traversed a
trail, and nearly always sat down to
rest on a big boulder that lay beside
the path. In the course of thirteen
years they had worn that boulder
smooth sitting IN it. By-and-by two
vagrant Mexicans came along and oc-
cupied the seat, and to amuse them
selves began chipping off fakes from
the boulder with a sledge hammer.
They examined ons Of the fakes and
found it rich with gold. That boulder
paid them $500 afterwards. But the
a~ggravating circumstance was that
these 'greasers' knew that there must
he more gold where that boulder came
from, and went banning up the hill,
and found what was probably the rich
est pocket that region has yet pro-
duced. 1t took three months to ex-
haust it, and it yielded $4,000. The
two American miners who used to sit
on the boulder T poor yet, and they
take turns about in getting up early
in the morning to 'cuss' those Mexi-
cans

English Syndicate Offers Clark TWEEN
ty-fve Millions for 1t.

Mr.. William f. Curtis, the well
known newspaper man, and who is
usually well informed ON such matters
as he writes about, has the following
in the Chicago Record-Herald
Senator William A. Clark of Mon
tana vas offered $25,0o0,0o0 in cash
by an English syndicate not long ago
for the United Verde copper mine,
and he refused it because he did not
know what to do with the money.
"Since operations began at the
mine in 1884 more than 500, 900
worth of ore has been taken out of it,
and Gark's engineers assert that
$500 900 worth has already been
blocked out, reasy to be removed as
fast as desired or the facilities will
permit. On this a block of $12 1000, 900
is supporting the machinery, which
must be removed first.
"The United Verde property con-
sists of 260 acres of land, and q con-
trolling interest cost Senator Clark
$26,S00 in 1883.
"Senator Clark owns SO per cent Of
the United Verde mine and, according
to popular opinion his income from it
averages about 100000 a moata. He
can make as much more as he likes,
but is satisfied with that. The mine
produces an average of 46,000,000
pounds a year. Last year the output
was '46,600,000 pounds, which, at Is
cents a pound vas worth $6,990,000,
and this is said to have been all clear
profit, because the by-products-the
gold and silver found with the copper
ore-more than paid running e
penses."

WAYS 1NsCRUTABLE.

The announced increase of "a per
ton on treatment charges Of ore from
the southern part Of Nevada by the
smelling companies of Salt Lake City,
win work to the disadvantage of Tono-
pah, Goldfeld, Bulffrog' and other
southern mining districts, says the Los
Angeles Mining Review. 1t would be
the veriest nonsense to assert that
"the ore can stand it,: Some of the
ore might, and still yield the shippers
large returns, but for every ton of ore
that can stand SO great an increase
there are ten that cannot. An increase
of four dollars a ton at one shot is too
severe; yet it may serve to work out
a problem for the miners that will be
to their ultimate advantage. In all
mining camps the bulk of the ore is
not rich enough to bear rail transpor-
tation and treatment charges, but it
can be mined at a profit at local plants.
The increase win also work to the
disadvantage of the railways; there
| will be less ore for them to haul. The
only way that they could be recon-
pensed would he by some system of
rebate that the smelling companies
would grant the railway companies,
| but even should such a scheme be prac.
ticed, the miner would have no part
in it.
1t is odd that this announced in
crease in treatment charges by the
Salt Lake companies should come at
a time when the Santa Fe and Salt
Lake railway companies are planning
to give shippers in the Goldfeld and
Bullfrog districts reduced transpor-
| tation rates. 1t is aver asserted that
such has been decided upon by the
two companies, and that the reduction
in rates is even now in effect. Wheth
err the Salt Lake smelling companie:
proceeded upon the theory that il
would be unwies to allow the miner
to have everything "coming his way
and so as a corrective, and for the
purpose of keeping him upon an ever
keel, just clapped on a little increase
of four dollars a ton. The ways OF
some smelling companies are as those
of Providence ,-inscrutable.
