USES BALLOON As A VEHICLE
Dr.. Thomas of New York Makes
Ascension to Prove Practibility
of Transport.

NEW YORK, July 31.-Dr. Thomas
and his brave wife are demonstrating
the docility and safety of the balloon
as a vehicle of transport. They have
made a great many ascensions in their
splendid balloon Nirvana, which is the
largest gasbag in this country, and
carries a family with ease. For poetry

comotion. Mrs Thomas furnished a
very pleasing specimen of ease and
luxury as she sailed over Central park,
the observed of all observers. A bal
loon in the air is the beau ideal for
an exhibition machine in this city, for
nobody can obscure anybody else's
view, all seeing the machine as easily
as any can. Mrs. Thomas is absolute
ly fearless in her ascents, and can do
as we'll as the doctor, who is a little
irascible at times. especially when the

French Prisoner Has a Grim Streak
Of Hum0r.
DECLINES TO APPEAL FOR CLEMEACY
TIME TO SEE THE WIDOW" At
WORK, AGAIN, HE
SAYS.

PARIS, Aug. There is certain
grim humor in the attitude taken by a
convict now under sentence of death
in this city. His lawyer has drawn
of the republic, the usual appeal for
the communication of the death penalty,
but the condemned man, whose name
is Adam, absolutely declines to sign
it, remarking that he prefers to be
guillotined.
There has been no execution in this
city for several years, and, as far as
he is concerned he is going to rem
edy this state of affairs. "It is time"
he says, that the Parsainos saw the
widow" Ohe slang word for guillo-
tine) at work again; then there is
poor Dieber the public executioner,
he must be sadly out of practice" Let
him cheer up; 1 won't disappoint
when his lawyer reasoned with him.
Unless the convict is brought to
more reasonable state of mind he will
certainly embarass the authorities, for
they are at a loss where to erect the
guillotine, inasmuch as none of the
ACCOMPLISHMENTS of the city will allow
it to be set up within their boundar-
les Possibly Adam will be reprieved
against his wish, and the matter set
tied in this way.

RECLAIM 100000 ACRES OF RICH LAND

to irrigate in the enighborhood of 400,-
600 acres of land in this county and in
Owyhee and Cassia counties, Idaho,
which adjoin this county. A dam $50
felt in height and several hundred feet
in length will be built at the Bears
Nest
Further down the river at Point
Ranch, a ditch will be taken out of
Salmon river, which will furnish water
for the great irrigation project. When
the dam is filled it will conserve ample
water to supply all the land possible to
reclaim, and will force the water up
the Salmon river to a point about four
miles from Contact, completely SUBJ
merging all the San Jacinto country
Aside from the irrigation project, it is
proposed by the Twin Falls company
to furnish electric power for the mines
and mills of Contact when the time ar
rives for the inauguration of the cleo
trio system in that promising camp.
S. P. Will Build.
"Already the Southern Pacific rail-
road company is looking to the posi-
bilities of that section, and has taken
the initial steps to secure the large
amount of trade sure to develop there.
"Wednesday an enpineer of tho 9 p
left here in company with L. Succetti
for the scene of the Twin Falls Land
& Power company's operations. This
engineer will make an examination of
the country between this place and
San Jacinto with the object of report
ing to his company the feasibility of
building a branch road from this point
to San Jacinto.

A scheme for the reclamation OF
some 100000 acres of land in Nevada
and Idaho principally on the southern
side of the state line, has been formu-
lated by the Twin Falls Land & Power
company, according to an article
which appeared in a recent issue of
the Wells New State Herald. The
land embraced in the project lies in
Elko county, Nevada, and Cassia and
Owyhee counties, Idaho Concerning
the enterprise, the Nevada paper says:
Biggest Project in History.
1.-THE largest project in an agricul-
tural way ever inaugurated in this
county is now being formulated. This
project has for it's object the reclama-
ton of nearly 10000 acres Of the fin

portion of which is within the bound
aries Of Elko county. This is not
government proposition, but private
enterprise, planned by the Twin Falls
Land & Water Power company. The
details have been carried quietly to a
point where the completion of the
project is assured, only requiring the
necessary time to carry to a finish.

ASP|RANTS IN DOUGLAS FIGHT
 FOR H0N0RS
MEETING SATURDAY NIGHT END. ED IN FIGHT BETWEEN WOULD
 BE coNsTAsLEs.

DOUGLAS, July 3-(Special)-
 The meeting called for last Satur- day night at Pirtleyille to recommend names to the board of supervisors for appointment as justice of the peace and constable of the new precinct which is proposed to create come of on time, also some hair and hide from the bodies of the opposing candidates for constable.
 The meeting was well attended and everything went along pretty smooth ly until the matter of recommending an appointee was reached. The op- posing candidates for this position were Young Davis, the present deputy sheriff, and John Lurch. This brought about spirited contest in which hot words were passed around promiscu- ously. 1t was not long after the vote had been taken until Lurch and Davis were into each other for battle. It is reported that Davis got the better of the scrap as recompense for losing out in his political aspirations, though those who saw Davis this morning de- clare that he bore evidence of having had a strenuous encounter. Both men were arrested and their trials are set for this afternoon in Judge McDon- aids court.
 The meeting recommended the ap- pointment Of w. A. Taylor as justice of the peace of the new Pirtleville precinct in case it is created by the board. ....... .. -.... ..
 It is quite likely, however, that the board of supervisors will have other recommendations for precinct officers in Pirtleville than the lone action of the meeting last Saturday night.
