Rufus A. Harman, eldest son OF Rev.
j. N. & Mrs. Bette Hartman, passed
away at the Gillespie Sanatorium
Tazewell. Va October Sth, 1904, aged
twenty three years. Typhoid fever,
slow and insidious. stealthily crept af-
ter his heart, and shut out the beauti-
ful light of his life. There survive him
father, mother, three brothers, four
sisters, wife, one little daughter, and an
infant son.
His obsequies, the saddest ever OBJ
served in the town, were conducted
from the Christian church, his pastor
being assisted by Rev. G. E. Elmore
Rev. q. w. Hairless and editor J. A
Leslie. Nothing was sadder and sweet
er than the tender eulogy of his father,
who with broken heart, stood beside
the bier and spoke of his boys beauti-
ful life, and the coInradship of parent
and son. The cortege that moved from
the church to the city of the dead was
the largest ever assembled in the com
munity. The casket was In charge OF
the Pythians, brethren OF his Lodge
honoring their dead commander.
To me Rufus Hartman was as Jona-

came as frOst-chills in summer gardens.

GOODNIGHT
WILL co
Much Interested in the Twin Falls
Irrigation Project and Will
Take Land There

Representative ]. l.. Goodnight
reached the city yesterday from his
home near Genese.. After the legisla-
ture adjourned he and Mrs Goodnight
made trip to Twin Falls and Salt
Lake and only reached home last Sat
| urday. This is Mr.. Goodnight's first
visit to Lewiston since the legislature
adjourned and he was very busy man
while here detailing items Of interest
| about the session and about the real
state of affairs concerning the Twin
Falls scheme.
Mr.. Goodnight visited Twin Falls
and spent some time i'm looking over
the entire tract. What he thinks of it
can best be learned when it is known
that he expects to be present on March
% and take his chance in the dra wing
to get 100 acres of the land in question.
The plan for the drawing Mr.. God
night details as follows: Those who
wish to take chances put up a certified
check for 1925 per acre on the amount
of land they wish to take. Their names
are then pat in the drawing and when
they are drawn they step forward and
select the land they wish to enter, or if
they do not care for what is then left
they can draw down their money and
forfeit their right to select
The price of the land is $3.50 per
acre including the water right. The
contract calls for the delivery of water
on the land in one year and no interest
is to be paid on the deferred payments
till water is put on the land, and the
second payment is not due till two
years from the time the water is put.
on the land when 81 more per acre is to
be paid together with the interest then
due and So per acre and interest an
nually thereafter till the land is paid
for. making in all "A ten years period.
The land is being taken very rapidly.
and the selections already made under
previous drawings makes IA strip of
land seven miles wide and thirty miles
long. The land is taken in 40, so and
160 acre tracts. The land i'm the draw
ing of March % is under the new high
line ditch and when all the land served
from this ditch is taken the total area
under the Twin Falls plant will be a
strip of land Is miles wide and 80 miles
long. Town lots in Twin Falls i'm the
business portion are now selling at
$1,000 each and city will spring up
there as if by magic.
Representative Goodnight was a
strong factor i'm the work of the eighth
session. and some of the best legisla-
ton of the session bears his impress
He was the father of the good yoads
bin. a measure which will materially
benefit all portions of the state. He is
known to have been a strong admins
tration man and his influence was
looked for in the support of all i'm
portant movements of the session.

public building at Moscow was ap-
proved by the committee on public
buildings and grounds, and was by Mr..
French placed in the Omnibus bill.
This bill failed to pass. but the senti-
ment in the house is very strong in
it's favor, and it is very likely that it
will pass al the next SESSION. The
matter is i'm good condition and Mos
COW will get a public building as soon
as any other city in the country.
In the house committee on public
lands, bills for the repeal of the COM
mutation clause of the homestead law
and the timber and stone act were in
definitely postponed. This was accom-
plished chiefly by Mondell of Wyoming
and French of Idaho.
Congressman Frenchs honesty and
integrity was put to the test last week
on the vote for the constructive mile
age grab. His mileage would amount
to the magnificent sum of 81, 100, and a
vote was being taken to give the mem
bers this extra mileage which they
clearly were not entitled to, but which
they could appropriate to themselves
far western members voted yes, but
French voted no, and thus threw aside
$1,1OO.
Idaho may well be proud of the rec
ord made by Burton L. French in the
congress just closed. Although the
youngest member in the house and
from state small in population, he
has taken n high place in the estima =
ton OF his colleagues, and is recog-
niZed by old war horses like Cannon.
Gr"svenor, Payne. and Dalzell as a
decidedly coming man. and one who
must be reckoned with in the next
congress. While Mr.. French has not
Hooded the house with oratory he has
been given respectful attention. 1t is
needless to say that Mr.. French will!
come back to Washington next fall pre-
pared to do better work for his state.

in having enacted important legisla-

that we did not do so some foreign
country in the enforcement of it's de-
mands would create trouble in that
island. The recent action Of the presi-
dent indicates that the senator's posi-
ton on this question was correct.
Early in the congress Senator Hey

Hepburn and French endeavored to
secure legislation authorizing leave of
projects until water is turned in, but
favorable action was not taken, the
department having made an adverse
report on the bill.
