Chester Farmers Enthused.

Francis H. Weston of Columbia, Sec
retary of the South Carolina division
of the Southern Cotton Association,
delivered an address before a large
audience of farmers, business and pro-
iessional men at the courthouse a.,
Chester. He said t-nat the people OF
all classes were heartily in favor OF
the movement to curtail the cotton
crop, and that the farmers are better
organized than ever before, and that
it lay in their power to make the
movement successful.
He urged all the members of the as
sociation to stand by their pledges
and expressed the opinion that they
would do so. He suggested the build
ing of warehouses, so that the farmers
could store their surplus cotton and
hold the price up. The speech was
enthusiastically cheered and all OF the
farmers in the section are heart and
soul in the movement.

Unioue Suit Over Accident Policy.

Unique Suit Over Accident Policy.
The executors of F. G. Stacy, the
late president of the National Bank
of Gaffney, have brought suit against
the Fidelity and Casualty company,
to recover $4,000 on an accident pol
icy which he carried with the COM
pany. Mr.. Stacy had little trouble
with a party on the streets last sum-
mer in which he hit the man in the
mouth with his fist, breaking the skin
on the knuckles, which resulted in
blood poison and death. A motion
has been made to transfer the case to
the United States court and it will
be tried in Greenville next term. The
company contends that the striking
was no accident; that the striking was
the voluntary act Of the insured, and
under the terms of the policy they
are not liable.

The retirement Of Chief Ball Is re-.

The esteem in which the retiring

The veranda was empty save for its
owner. She was having tea quite alone,
and was reading. Suddenly the cur

thrust back, and an excited, eager boy
entered

Mrs. Frank had listened so far
silently. Now she interrupted him.
There was touch Of impatience, al
most sharpness, in her voice. 1t was
no doubt irritating to be interrupted
in the middle Of a truly reasonable
article, one might almost say treatise,
on the very latest method of removing
wrinkles.

seated himself, gazing eagerly at her,
"now," smilingly, "let us hear all
about it.
Its all right" he said, compre-
hensively.
"All right? What is all right"
"Mabel-me-" ungrammatically.
Mrs. Frank had strange sensation.
It was nothing very much. She just
felt as if the light had gone out sud-
denly. For a moment she was silent.
Then she mechanically and sharply
drew back the curtain that had until
then shaded her from the June sun.
1t blazed in and showed-showed with
what wisdom she chose her literature.
But George had prevented her finish
ing that treatise.
"How lovely" she said at last, quite
slowly.
"Oh, I knew you would be glad,"
the boy cried, and he suddenly dropped
on one knee beside her, and taking up
her hand, very gently put it to his
lips.
Mrs. Frank, you have been awful
ly kind" he said, and his eyes filed
again with a look of feeling that took
her back to the station yard at Vic
toria. WAS that only six months
ago." she wondered.
Presently he went, leaving her with
a paean of Mabel ringing in her ears.
She left the veranda, walked through
the long drawing room into her bed
room behind. Up to the glass she
went Great tears were falling down
her face. They riddled the pretty pink
of her cheeks that looked so fair and
faint against the snow-white hair.
She put both hands up to her eyes,
and the tears dropped through her
fingers.
'sFool-fool-old fool" she cried
pitifully through them.
And then suddenly age brought Its
own consolation. The hands dropped
down, the tears seemed to dry like
magic, and she leaned forward, look
ing almost horror struck, into the
glass before her.
Fool, indeed" she said bitterly.
The next instant she was hailing a
cab. Once inside she raised the trap

The Twin Falls company has
asked for the segregation under
the Carey act, Of 1S1, 900 acres
Of land on the north side of
Snake river, below their dam.
There is a large quantity of land
lying between Shoshone and the
river, quite as good as that
taken up and now under water
on this side, and Engineer Muir
tab and Superintendent Filler
have been going over it for the
past year trying to solve a
method of getting water on it.
There are some high ridges in
the plateau and several depres-
sions which make it difficult to
lead the water on much of the
best land, but it seems they have
at last solved the problem and
will begin the underts king. They
will start the canal from their
present dam, and will have to
make some deep cuts and syphon
T! the water across a number of
low places. 1t is not rated as a
difficult engineering problem, but
a costly one. The estimate of
the cost is placed at $2,475,OO
or nearly $15 per acre for the
amount of land reclaimed.
This enterprise adds nearly
one-third to the area of lands
now being reclaimed along Snake
river, by the Minidoka and Twin
Falls irrigation enterprises.
Think of it'll A stretch Of land
heretofore rated a desert is to be
made fertile by the magic of
moisturel That private capital
should have been invested In
such an undertaking as the con-
struction Of the great dam at
Miner and the hundreds Of miles
of canals already completed, was
something remarkable, and that
the men doing the work are sat
isfed with the results is proven
by the fact that they are now
ready to expend more millions
in charging OH their original
plan. They are also demon
strating that the government
has been wise in doing the work
on the other great reclamation
enterprises.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1905.
LAST DAYS oF THE FAIR

Only little more than one week
of the Lewis and Clark Centennial
Exposition left now. That the fair
has exceeded all xpectations in
numbers attending and in point of
interest is now conceded. The great
fair at St. Louis last year, preceded
by the Pan-America at Buffalo
and the Columbian at Chicago, and
the one at Omaha, it was contend
ed was crowding these exhibitions
so close together that the people
had grown weary of fairs and that
the Portland fair would have but
little interest with the people. But
in taking this view of it, the fact
that, except the MidWinter fair
held in San Francisco number of
years ago, this was the first exhibit
ton to be held On the west side Of
the Rocky mountains, and they
did not figure on the great interest
that is being taken in Pacific coast
industries, and development every
where throughout the east and
middle west, and the number of
people who had desire to see this
wonderful country with the thought
of locating somewhere in it, or of
making investments here, and who
made the fair and the reduced cost
of reaching here during its session
an reason for coming at the present
time. We take it that it was not
seeing the fair so much as seeing
the country that brought so many
eastern people west the present
summer They came, and they saw
a country forging ahead with a
business roar which surprised them,
all the way from Los Angeles to
Victoria. The fruitfulness of the
soil, the climate, the great mining
industry, the mighty irrigation I'M
dertakings and their results, the
vast timber resources of the north
west. all combined gave them new
ideas of what great country this
is destined to be. And the Fair
1t has been so we'll planned and so
admirably managed that very few
have returned home without words
of praise for it.
We of Idaho have especial reas
ons for being proud of the part our
state has taken in it. Our execu-
tive commissioner and his able
corps of assistants have been able,
efficient and Jealous, and have
made the most out of the means at
their command to bring the advan-
tages and resources of our great
state into prominence, by a display
of her productions of which we are
all justly proud. Every dollar
which Idaho has expended in her
exhibit and information given out
concerning the state, will be re-
turned again many fold.

the shortcomings and criticising

have been different and one OF
Oregon's congressman and one
OF her senators might have es-
capped conviction for participa-

The Owyhee nugget. ([Silver City], Idaho) 1905-1984, 1905-10-06

We are afraid that Senator
Hepburn has mixed himself up
in a controversy where he is des-
tined to get decidedly the worst
of it. He was right when he pro-
tested against having almost
one-third of the area of Idaho
tied up in forest reserves thus de-
priving settlers OF the rights to
make homes on the public do
main, but he did not look deep
enough into the work that was
being done by land grabbers,
concerning which the sentiment
of the country is that it must be
stopped. He ought to have seen
enough Of this land stealing
through fraudulent entries, made
in the interest of big lumber syn
dicates in his own county, to
have put him on his guard
against espousing the cause OF
the honest settler" Indeed,
taking up homesteads in Sho-
shone, Latah and Kootenai
counties, with no intention OF
making homes on the lands, had
become such a common industry
that it was done by many per-
sons without a thought of the
fraud they were perpetrating.
