Petition for AuStin'S Retention.

A couple of weeks since Maverick
made mention of the fact that on
the window of THE local express of
flee was posted an offensive notice
to the public, that no favors must be
asked, as they would be. refused.
AS result of the publication of this
item, Agent Austin is reported to
have been ''ca11ed on the carpet, J"
and was about to lose his position.
Business men hearing this report,
circulated a petition, which was
generally signed, asking that he be
not discharged. 1t is said that this
notice on the window has for long
been one of the fixed features of the
office, that Agent Austin did not
post it there and, he says, was not
even aware of its presence. Busi-
ness men say, farther, that Mr..
Austin gives them as good service
as any agent who has ever had
charge of the depot, and far better
than most of them, so are, natural
ly, anxious to have him retained.
Even had he posted the notice there,
which Maverick is convinced he
did not, it would be gross injustice
on the part of the company to fire
him, tor such an act would be
merely an enunciation of the COM
pany's policy-an impolitic, un-
necessary staud-pat act, perhaps
but still in line with the general
trend of treatment accorded the pub
lie of southern Idaho. 1t is human
nature to get gay and ''feel ones
oats" when given dead immortal
cinch and few people can help giv-
ing an exhibition Of such power.

convention convened yesterday.
The bosses adjusted their differences
the night before and named the
ticket, which the convention rati-
fled, with the exception of superin-
tcndcnt of schools, and as lady
was involved in that contest, of
course, the slate in that particular
was smashed. The transparent
truth about the deal is, that neither
faction had sufficient confidence
in its strength to force the fight
ing and rub 1t in on the other
fellow, so compromise was reach
ed. In negotiating the articles of
agreement the machine faction
threw off the disguise that Govern
or Gooding was friendly to Borah,
and the II ade was made between
these two, as the lesdcrs of the op-
posing wings of the party. Mr..
Borah was given his coveted en-
dorscmcnt for United States SEN
ator and Governor Gooding was al
lowed to name the state candidates.
Mr.. Borah's friends thought they
were strong enough to win, and
wanted some of the state pie for
themselves, but stayed with him
Loyalty when he adopted the policy
of playing sure thing game.
Chairman Brady, seeing that he
was not in the running for the SEN
atorship withdrew" his opposition
to Borah and harmony was
adopted as the battle cry. The fol-
lowing ticket was nominated:
For United States senator-W.
E. Borah, Ada county.
For Governor Frank r. Good
ing, Lincoln county.
For Justice Of the Supreme
Court George H. Stewart, Ada
county.

Weather Report.

Save for the abnormally high tenn
peratures, which continued gener-
ally in all parts of the state, the
weather during the week just closed
was devoid of marked features.
Temperature conditions did not vary
greatly from those of the previous
week, the average daily excess rang
ing from to degrees. Except on
the 26th and 27th the maxima in
the northern and western counties
of the state were above 90 degrees
and readings of more than 95 de-
grees were numerous. The highest
temperature from which reports
were received occurred at Lewiston
on the 25th-102 degrees. On the
morning of the 10th fresh to brisk
northwest winds set in over the
western counties and maximum
temperatures remained below 90 de-
grees generally in this division of
the state, the day proving the most
pleasant of any since the heated
period began; the minirna on the
folio wing morning ranged between
AZ and SIS degrees. A marked rise
in temperature occurred on the 28th
and the maximum readings on this
date were the highest for the week
in the south western counties. In
the eastern part of the state the av-
erage daily excess in temperature
was about degrees, with maxima
of 90 degrees or slightly above. The
minima in only few instances ex-
ceeded 90 degrees. The week was
the driest of the season to date, no
meaurable precipitation having beer
reported. Clear skies were the rule
and there were long periods with.
out clouds of any kind. Water
for all purposes appears to be plen.
tiful. AT Mountain Home on The
Esd and 2sth the maximum tenn.
4 perature was 100 degrees; the lattei
date gave the lowest reading for tn,

OUR HOT SPRINGS
WILL BE IMPROVED
Officers of New Company Elected and
Plans for Development of Prop
ert Adopted.

A meeting of the incorporators
of the Mountain Home Hot Springs
company, Limited, was held here
Saturday, when organization was
perfected by the election of the fol-
lowing officers: Henry Jacobson,
president; Colin Tyler, vice presi-
dent; Mrs. Altha B. Kelsey, treas
urer; r. w. Simpkins, secretary.
The financing Of the proposition
is in the hands of the secretary,
who says that large portion of the
capital stock has already been sub
SCI ibed for by parties in North Da-
kota and Minnesota. He will leave
in about two weeks for the east
to complete this part of his task,
and expects to return in time to
get construction work we'll under
way this season, which will be
continued uninterruptedly until fin
ished.
The intention of the company, so
far as announced, is to erect sani-
tarium, hotel and bath houses; Gre
ate a pleasure resort, which will in
clude large bathing pool, a portion
of which will be enclosed for bath

OLD GOLD BELT MINE
WILL PRODUCE AGAIN
To be Opened at Once by New Owners
Syndicate of Dakota and Min
nesota Capitalists.

The lead on which this property
Is located is an extension of the
Ida Elmore and Wide West vein,
from which 10000 has been
taken to date. The ledge is strong
and we'll defined, in granite for
nation, varying from three to seven
feet. There is no record extant OF
average values, though many assays
made of late demonstrates it to be a
high grade proposition, some assays
running into the thousands of dol
lars. Miners of wide experience
say that every great mine contains
some phenominally rich rock;
which seems to be Natures promise
held out to man to recompcnse him
for and encourage him to persist in
his efforts, in the early stages Of
development.
Engineer Hayden's plan for open
ing UP new ore bodies is to run a
tunnel lower down, most of which
will be a drift on the ledge. He
estimates that by this method he
can get an additional depth of 200
feet, and when he gets under the
winze will have an ore shoot
blocked out that will be practically
continuous for a distance of 600
feet.
The property is equipped with g
20-stamp mill, operated by water
power, that is in fairly good condi-
tion. Many repairs will have to be
made and concentrators installed,
as concentration will be the treat
ment process employed to save the
values that formerly remained il
the tailings.
The work of repairing and remod-
cling the plant and driving this
tunnel will start at an early day,
and be rushed so as to be in posi-
tion to start production by the time
snow flies.

That Irrigation Congress.

Farmers and orchardists through
out the sixteen safes comprising the
irriagted area are making great
preparations for the exposition OF
irrigated products, to be held al
Boise during the session of the
Fourteenth National Irrigation con-
gress, September 3rd to sth. Ex-
hibitors to the number of 200 have
engaged space for their exhibits,
and spirited contest will be en-
gagged in for the valuable prizes tc
be awarded. A year ago the gov
ernment reclamation service had
under construction irrigation pro-
jects involving the expenditure OF
$50, 600, 600 and the reclamation OF

ing in winter; build wide roadway
on the easiest possible grades to the
springs, making possible comfortable
stage or automobile service. The
company will have plans and speci-
fications so drawn that buildings
will fit into a harmonious archi-
tectural whole when additions,
that will undoubtedly be found
necessary as business increases,
are built. An excellent grade of
building stone can be obtained a
short distance from the springs,
materially reducing the cost Of
buildings.
There are fourteen hot springs
and one cold spring on the property.
The water is clear and without de-
posit of any character; has high
medicinal properties and great anti
septic qualities, which latter are
entirely lacking in the water of the
famous Hot Springs in Arkansas.
The springs have been resorted to
for many years for the cure of var
ious ailments, especially rheuma-
tism, diseases of the skin, of the
kidneys and stomach.

ECkstein Bros Store Robbed.

When Ike Eckstcin returned from
Boise on the early morning train
Monday and opened the store, he
noticed that the back door was
slightly ajar. Investigation reveal
ed that the money drawer had been
torn from the counter and its con-
tents, about $50, stolen. The bur-
glar had pried the metal shutter of
the rear door loose, pulling out the
staples that fastened the hinges to
the stone wall; sawed out the fas-
tening TO the wire screen door and
turned the key that was in the lock
with burglar nippers. The police
have found no clew to the robber

1900, 600 acres of land. The ex-
penditure of this amount of money
will result in creating land values
in excess of $s7, 900, 900, and the
lands reclaimed will produce an an
nual crop of the value of $27, 900, :
600, or nearly sufficient to pay the
sum advanced by the government
every year. This is one of the ar
guments which will be used by the
advocates of the proposition of ask
ing the government for an addition
to the fund of $1O0, ,00O,00 for
reclamation. The National Irriga-
tion congress, will have no more
important issue than this one.

Nampa Hogs and HObOS.

AT the ball game in Nampa Sum
day the Mountain Home nine was
defeated by a score of IL to 4, the
home team having won two pre-
vious games. About 100 people
from here went over to witness the
game, including the band, and they
report having been accorded the
-rankest kind of discourtesies by the
Nampa aggregation, managers Of
that club and rooters. Members of
the band had to pay admission, the
players had to buy their drinking
water and the hobos who rooted for
the Nampa nine went far beyond
the limit of ordinary decencies.

The bear was followed for several
miles and the chase finally aban-
doned. The brute was an immense
''pab face" the most fcrocious of
his kind. 1t was noted by his pur-
suers that old trees were torn to
pieces and at one point a grouse had
been killed and devoured, which
should show Mr.. Rudisill how flu
tile would be his attempt to end
the bear with pick.

AlRSHIP AT THE FAIR.
Horace B. Wild Makes Flight That
Causes Excitement.

Horace B. Wild and his airship
Eagle made at the Indiana State
Fair, this morning, what was doubt
less the most sensational flight ever
seen in Indiana. The aerial craft left
Its aerodrome near the main gates
about 10:30, and as 1t shot upward
into the warm sunlight, the whole
exposition proceedings were stopped.
twenty minutes after leaving the
aerodome the Eagle was back and
over the point where it started.
Wild threw fifty feet of rope over
board, with one end attached to the
airship. He slid along the saddle to-
ward the propeller, and the big bal
loon, shaped like a caterpiller, turn
ed its nose toward the ground.
Swarms of people poured into the
corner of the Fair grounds where the
decent was being made, and a hun
dred men seized the craft when it
came within reach and led it hun
dred steps to the place where the
start had been made
The airship will give exhibitions ev
cry morning between 10 and II
o'clock, when the weather permits.

.BLUNDER OF DEMOCRATS
STATE COMMENT CAUSED
Wayne County Conve ntion Foroot to
Mention the Rev. T. n. Kuhn i'm the
ResoIutions-Say it was Oversight
and Not Significant.

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. TO- (SpD-
At the Republican State headquar-
ters today there were some Rich
mond visitors who impaired the in
formation that the Wayne County
Democrats at their convention last
Saturday forgot to pay their respects
to the Rev. T. II. Kuhn, candidate
for Congress in the Sixth district
The fact that the resolutions adop-
ted by the convention neglected to
even mention the preacher candi-
date for Congress was regarded as
rather queer even for a Democratic
gathering. 1t was also stated that
some of Mr.. Kuhn's friends in Wayne
county and other parts of the dis
trict are indignant at the actio1 or
rather the lack of action on the part
of the convention, and although they
say that the fact that Mr.. Kuhn was
not endorsed really was the result of
oversight and has no significance,
they feel that it was an unbecoming
slight.
