Work has been at a standstill the
past week owing to the intense cold
and continued storms, but with more
propitious weather, the tunnel will
be put into the ledge Is feet and if
the showings are up to what surface
expectations go to show, the tunnel
will be continued. There are so many
excellent showings that it is hard to
decide upon the best plan for begin
ming work.
Wabash.
The tunnel has not been advanced
since last report. The contract hav-
ing been completed, they will prob
ably soon give a bid for continuing
the tunnel as there is every indica-
ton of cutting the ledge within the
next 100 feet, upon which event,
there is a certainty of something
good unless the Bullfrog bellies itself.
Norwich Con.
The company is anxiously awaiting
fair weathr and warmer, that work
ing may be pushed on this property.
Being located on the top of the old
Bare Mountain, over a mile high,
they have been handicapped by bad
weather. There is a fine showing
on the ledge which has a fine out
crop and is easily traceable along
the side Of the mountain. Mr., Per-
kins has obtained assays from the
outcrop ranging from SIG to sos.
This is even better than the district
has been able to average or, except
in rare instances, equal.
Venture.
Like the Norwich, this property is
on the summit of Bare Mountain and
weather conditions have delayed
work, but despite the worst storm
ever known in the district, some
gains have been made. The new tun-
mel will be put in about $50 feet
below the old one, and thus strike
the ledge where richer values are to
be found. This will give good backs
and enable ore to be dropped down
from above and with a shaft on the
vein there is every reason to expect
paying results.
Ligc Harris.
This company is about three miles
east Of Gold Center and has been
one of the most talked about in the
district on account of its fine show
ings. The ledge is fuorine and this
at depth has been commonly known

present assays across the cutting
average S22.SO, are reported.

VICTORY ASSURED
Republican Victory Certain in Fourth
District, Says the Hon. E. A..
Walters.

Edward a. Walters OF ShOshOne,-
Republican candidate for district
Judge OF the Fourth judicial dis
trict, is a visitor in the city during
the irrigation congress, and re-
ports that section Of the state is in
a most prosperous condition There
is no question about the result Of
the political contest in the four
counties comprising the Fourth
district-Blaine, Elmore Lincoln
and Cassia.
There has been a wonderful i'm
migration into those four counties
in the past year or two" he said
Tuesday to Statesman reporter
''The population OF Cassia county
has doubled within the past two.
years, because Of the opening OF the
great Twin Falls tract The same
state OF affairs exists in Lincoln
county. There has been heavy i'm
migration, also, in both Blaine and
Elmore counties, though the popu-
lation there has not doubled, as it
has in Cassia and Lincoln.
'The recently discovered system
OF dry farming IS responsible for
the settlement OF a large tract Of
land on Camas prairie in Blaine
county. That country has always
been used for grazing land, it being
considered that without irrigation
it was not susceptible Of eultiva-
ton. But recently it has been
found that good croTs can be rais-
ed there by dry farming, az d now
every acre of that land has been
fenced in and Is being put under
cultivation.
"As 4 consequence OF this eondi-
ton of affairs, cattIemen and sheep
men who have been accustomed TO
using that region ior grazing lands
are compelled to look elsewhere
All the really good grazing lands
in other sections is, OF course, long
since taken up, and many Of the
stoc5men have sold off large por-
tions Of their herds and hocks-
some OF them have gone entirely
out OF the business.
A very large percentage OF this
great increase in population in the.
Fourth district is from Republican
states | am told, fos illustra-
ton, that about MeuntainhCme,
where the new irrigation project
has attracted large number Of

so per cent OF the new residents.

STILL KNOCKING
Haley Times Still, Trys 70 Knock on
Junction City with Untrue
Statement.

\ commercial traveller VINO re-
Gently visited Twin Falls and the
Minidoka tract says thet there Is
absolutely nothing doing in them.
The towns are from five to 10 years
ahead OF their surrounding country
and there is nothing in sight that
is likely to restore prosperity to
them.
Several houses are vacant and
more will be. Houses that burn
down will not be replaced by new
ones. The best rooming house IN
Twin Falls burned down last week
None will replace it. The other
rcoming houses are doing very lit
tie. The hotel is losing money.
Houses that rented for 5000 a
month bring only $75 now. A few
months hence they may not rent
for $25. The trouble is there are
no transients.
At Shoshone there are 45 empty
houses, whereas a year ago any lit
tie old shack in town could rent
for $8 $40, and s12 month. The
sheep men will not stay there over
night, and the town is decidedly
on the bum. Wood River Times.
If there is anything disgusting
to the newspaper fraternity it is to
have one newspaper try to run
down the town in which another
lives. Whenever person concocts
story and is at loss as to the
party he wants for an originator
he calls it drummer story.
In olden days grandparents
would take the little children on
their knees and tell them fairy
tales. These were readily believed
by the children until such a time
as they were old enough to know
better. tits the same with drum
mer stories. We used to believe
all that trash but that time has
past and whenever we hear of a
man trying to make usibelieve that
drummer told him such and such
thing, we Immediately begin to
think that there is something
wrong with that man and so feel
sorry for him.
The above article copied from
the Wood River Times of HALEY,
a daily and weekly newspaper pub
lished by T. e. Picotte, is one OF
the biggest falsehoods that we
have seen or heard for some time.
While we cannot say that the
drummer end OF it is a falsehood
still we can say that we believe in
our own mind that the fable was
original. Granting that the So
called drummer did tell Mr.. Pi-
cote this, that gentleman should |
have enough knowledge of the
country surrounding hlm to know
that it is a down right lie.
As to empty houses in Shoshone
we will say that when DR.. Klein
man, of HALEY was in Shoshone,
several days ago he told the editor
of this paper that he had had four
opportunities to rent his house in
this town.
We will admit that during the
summer months some OF the sheep |
men and their families move out |
OF town to be with their sheep, but
they always return in the fall, and |
with the exception of few months
in the summer houses are always
in demand.

SIGHTSEEING.
While Attending the Irrigation Con-
gress at Boise the Fore
Part OF Week.

We went to the Boise fair,
Celebrities galore were there.
We took in the sights
For three straight -aights
And had time called rare.
AS BETTING our profession we
left Shoshone last Sunday morn
ing to enrich ourselves with what
knowledge could be obtained by at
tending an Irrigation congress.
While all our time was not
spent attending the sessions OF the
congress, (most Of the time being
spent waiting for trains at Nampa)
enough was spent there to give us
a very liberal idea of the value OF
such a meeting to places undergo
ing changes, due to irrigation, like
our own village. Senators, repre-
sentatives, judges, etc, from every
state in the union were there to
present their views of irrigation,
and our noble president was
also in attendance to lend such
weight as possible TO the grand
cause.
But our obiest is not to dwell on
the doings of the congress as these
have been heralded throughtou
the country by much better scribes
long before this. Our primitive
object is to narrate some of our adj
ventures while sightseeing in the
city.
1t had not been our intention to
leave Shoshone before Sunday ev-
ening, but knowing that rooms
would be in demand and not ear
ing 70 spend very many nights
walking the streets we decided
to go on the morning train,
about twenty minutes before the
train left. 1t was about one O'Clock
before we left Shoshone, and our
ride to Nampa was filled with dust
and disgust. We arrived there al
five o'clock and were informed that
the train would leave for Boise in
a few minutes. We waited, rs did
many others, until after six O'Clock
and has the train hadn't moved
and we were feeling the pangs OF
hunger, not having eaten lunch
before we left Shoshone we made
up our minds to eat something,
even at the risk of missing the
train. With this end in view we
hunted up Joe Wheeler and used
all the persuasive power at our
command to induce him to join Us
but Joe, who is firm believer IN
the fact that all things must move
sooner or later, was laboring under
the delusion that the branch train
might move sooner and so refused
our invitation with the consoling
advice that should we miss the
train he would see to it that our
baggage arrived safely in Boise.
Well we didn't miss the train, but
came very near doing so as the
Cannon Ball. named for its
swiftness, left Nampa at half-past
eight.
The ride to Boise was little diff
ierent than our previous one. This
was very affertionate ride, wei
were all so close togather, and 1
while we are not very large in stat
ure still for twenty miles we had
the pleasure of holding on cur lap

WEIGHT an ounce less than 200
pounds when We lett Nampa but
who doubled that amount easily
before reaching Boise. Just before
the train stopped at the capitol

tracted for all the available rooms
in the hity and everybody could
be Accommodated by going to the Y.
NJ. c. A. and registering and just
as soon as possible they would be
resigned rooms. (cheers) This end
ed the speech and it was all that
was necessary. II the truth were
known we probably cheered some.
Arriving in Boise we went immedi-
ately to the Y. NJ. C. A. rooms
and although we were among the
first we did not get chance to
register for fully half an hour. The
room ives literally packed, men
and women fighting to get to the
counter to affix their names, and
if we hadn't been lucky we might
have spent the better part of the
first night trying to register. but q
good natured looking gentleman
from Oregon being at the book we
took advantage of the fact and
called our name to him and had
the pleasure OF seeing him put it
on the book. After fighting our
way back to the open air We sat
down for a few minutes to consider
the best ways and means and fin
ally came to the conclusion that if
we wanted to sleep that it might
not be best to wait for a room from
the Y. NJ. G. A. so struck out to for
age for ourselves. In this we play
ed lucky again. In walking up
Main street, looking no doubt as
we felt "a stranger in a strange
land" we had the good fortune to
meet G gentleman acquaintance of
ours that formally lived in Sho-
shone but who later moved to
Boise, and he volunteered his ser
vices and that OF friend to aid US
in securing q room. We found one
after a diligent serch and while it
didn't remind US very much OF
home still we didn't ask for anv
more as it had a bed in it and that
was all we desired.
Not wishing to lose any more
time IN sleeping than possible we
decided to do some sightseeing
that night and so left our baggage
in the room and returned to Main
street. 1t was then almost eleven
O'clock but the streets were a mass
OF humanity, everybody going
some place and no place in partic-
ular but all pushing and showing
the way their faces were turned
This was kept up until long after
midnight and finally we met VIII
lie Zug, Charlie Roe and Iver
Amel of Rupert, so we joined them
in taking in the sights. Wei
tramped around until three O'Clock
in the morning and as the streets
were then deserted we felt that
nothing more could be gained by
staying up so retired Like in all
large cities Boise has a street car
line and as we had not been away
from home to enjoy such Injuries
for some time we spent all our pin
money on the cars We met many
of our ShoshOne friends in Boise
who were doing the stunt Just like
ourselves. Among them were Mr.
and Mrs. A. Kinsey. E A Walters
