Barnum were the original loeators.
of the magnificent power site at
the thousand springs and it is
largely through their enterprise
and energy that this company has
been formed and work begun to har
ness this great power. Mr.. Harris
who has just purchased Mr.. Bar
NUNS interest, is treasurer OF the,
company. When asked if they
had o market in view for their
power when their plant was install
led they replied that they were at
present exerting themselves they
had no doubt a market would
readily be found. Work is being.
rapidly pushed on the works and
the company hopes to have power
ready for market by next summer.
The site OF this power plant IS
located in Lincoln county, on the.
north bank of the Snake river and
Is one OF the greatest natural won-
ders Of this western country. The
canyon wall rises 10 a height OF
about 500 feet at this point, almost
as vertical as a house wall. AT
point 1S2 feet above the foot 4
this wall a series Of springs break
out through a peculiar stratum ly-
ing between TO lava beds. The
largest one of the springs is esti-
mated to flow 25,OO0 miners inches
The combined flow OF the other
springs about equals the flow from
this one. Measurements show
that The volume and temperture OF
the waters OF these springs remains
practically constant throughout
the year, making ideal conditions
for a power plant. The conditions
are such, too, that the water can
not be used Tor any other purpose
and its use by this company for
power will not interfere with the
rights OF any one else as the water
cannot be utilized for irrigation.
The constant temperture insuFes-

1t is estimated that the available
power from this source will reach.
at least 12.o00 horsepower and

DO Adopt 4 New system.

We are striving hard to adopt a
new book keeping system in this
Office on the first of the new year.
We have accounts outstanding on
our books that make this change
almost impossible. Now all we
ask of onr subscribers is that they
do their part in paying up their
back subscription in order that we
may make the change, [and have
a little change TO pay our own in
deb edness.
Your account may only be two,
four or maybe ten dollars. You
say that isn't very much and it
viii not make much difference If it
is not paid. Did you ever stop to
figure out how much several hun
dreh OF these accounts would mean?
Notices have been sent to most
of the subscribers notifying them
Of their arrears and the rest will
be notified in very short time.
1t is to your own interest not to
let your account run over one year.

United States Senator Brown OF

at Washington with bullet in his

the meeting of Brown and the

was a delegate. His wife which |

went To Nevada. where he still
lives. In the spring Of 1900 a son
was born to Mrs. Bradley, which
] she named after Brown. Some
months later Brown went to Los
Angeles, followed few days later
by Mrs. Bradley. 1t was this cir
cumstance which first aroused the
suspicious Of Mrs. Brown, who
went to his downtown apartments
in Salt Lake during his absense
and unearthed bundle of old love
letters writ en- to him by Mrs.
Bradley in cypher. Mrs. Brown
found the key and learned all the
terrible story. She at once wired
in cypher to her husband a scath-
ing denunciation. using the same
code that she had found in his
rooms. Upon Browns return to
Salt Lake from Los Angeles his
wife instituted suit for seperate
maintenance, but the divorce suit
was never commenced. Husband
and wife continued, however to
live apart, and in 1902 Mrs. Brown
swore out a warrant for the arrest
of her husband and Mrs. Bradley
on the charge OF unlawful cohabi-
tation. The warrants were served
on Mrs Bradley and Brown while
they were together at his Salt Lake
home. The complaint against
Brown being illegal, because in
Utah wife cannot testify against
her husband. tie suit was never
pressed. Mrs. Bradley was ar
ranged and pleaded guilty, but was
later induced 10 withdraw her plea
and the case against her was drop
ped.
1t was at this juncture thrt sepa-
ration between the three principals
was agreed upon, Brown to 20 TO
Califofnia and keep away from
both women. Instead of doing
this however, he came to Pocatello
where he was joiner the following
day by Mrs. Bradley. On hear
ing of this tn ough private de-
tective Mrs. Brown took the next
train for this city; and for the first
time since the trouble arose she
met the guilty pair face to face.
The trio met in room 10 at the Pa
eific hotel, and the scene that fol- |
lowed beggars description.
Accompanying Mrs. Brown was
a Salt Lake detective, who had pre-
viously tried to effect reconciliation
between Brown and his wife. For
several hours Brown and his wife
argued the case IN room 10 and
la Il bare the entire family history,
in terms couched in severe re-
proach and disdainful adherence
the wronged wife gave vent to all
her pent up emotions and allowed
her anger full sway. With hitter
ness and contempt Mrs. Brown as
sailed her husband and the wo.
man with he had formed the guilty
alliance.
Twice during the interview she
attacked Mrs. Bradley with the
vowed purpose of killing her, anc
lad not the detective-attorney in
erfered she would have carried
'ut her purpose.
In arsu er to his wife's attacks, '

Minneapolis, Dec. 18.-The Inter-
state Commerce Commission inquiry
today into the Northwestern trans
portation conditions brought out i'm
portant facts. The commission last
night sent kilograms Of inquiry re-
garding the coal supply to many
points. Replies poured in today re-
porting that in many places farmers
we're burning outbuildings and fences
to keep from freezing to death. The
commission secured the promise OF
cooperation from the railroads to re-
lieve the situation. Farmers testify
inc before the commission declared
the blockade had had the effect of
depressing the price of wheat so that
il had to be hauled back or sacrifi-
ccd. The commission said it found
the situation more serious than antlcl-
pated.

Senator, what will be your atti-

sepate during the coming session.
"Now, young man, you are passing
beyond the question of local matters, .
answered Senator Blease, "and ask
ing a question which should answer
ITSELF While I admit that there are
some pirates on the dispensary ship,
at the same time I am, as I have al
ways been, supporter of the dispen-
sary system, believing that it is the
bBest solution Of the whiskey question;
and II some people will resign the
positions which they hold under the
disepnsary! management and the law
Is enforced as it was originally pass
ed and intended, no man can question
the fact that it is the best solution.
But if traitors are to run it and make
it stencil in the nostrils Of its best
friends, the sooner it goes, the better,
for while do not believe that any
thing its equal can be found for hand
ling whiskey, yet placed in the hands
OF an element Of people who desire
to see it corrupt it can be made a
machine that is dangerous in the poll
tical and financial affairs of our
state. Therefore, my position is as
it has always been, and I shall stand
by the system; but at the same time
I will not and do not endorse things
which know to have happened with
in the past six months.''
Senator Blease said that there
might be other matters of interest to
the people Of the county which he
would be in better position to dis
cuss later if they were called to his
attention, At present, he said, he
knew of nothing further of any spe-

W. WATSON TALKS
ABOUT HIS WORK
PLEASED WITH DECISION BUT
NEVER HAD ANY DOUBTS.
Means Much for the South-Thinks
That Southern States are Now
In Position to Do Selective
Work. ..

The State.
Greenville, Dec. 19.-Col e. J. Wat
son, State commissioner Of immigra-
ton, who spent several hours in
Greenville yesterday in the interest Of
his department, was interviewed as
to the dieision Of the South Carolina
immigration test case, which was an
nounced Tuesday, He said:
During the last four months have
had q good many gray hairs to come
in my head, but none was due to wor-
ry as to what would be the outcome Of
the decision in this matter had for
long time desired to have the point
which has now been finally determin-
ed ruled upon by the department Of
commerce and labor, but it was i'm
possible to get such ruling on n
hypothetical case when the genuine
case was made on my arrival in Char
lesion with the Wittekind passengers.
1 deemed it best to let the matter go
on its merits and did not at the hear
ing there present the cablegram I had
from the department. Of State at
Washington constituting the law upon
which construction + had been acting.
81 feel that the South owes much
in this whole matter to Commissioner
General Sargent, who has long been
endeavoring to see a tide of desirable
immigration turned to the South,
where it is most needed, and through
out my course I have been guided
largely by his oft-publicly expressed
opinions. This decision means moro
for the Southern States than any Of
;; us now can see. It puts immigra-
tion work in the South on high,
clean and practical plane, and at last
puts the different states in n position
to do real selectivc work and to give
a care to the prospective American
citizen after his arrival on our
shores. The decision makes very clear
the position South Carolina has TAX
ell, that the only practical way to
handle immigrants is by means Of
full State department Of government;
it is indeed IL" only means. This de-
cision comes at the opportune mom-
ent, while through the influence and
efforts Of the recently formed South
ern lmmiGrati"r and Industrial asso-
citation, it is M st likely that num-
ber of our sister States will follow
South Caroline s lead in the establish
ment Of State departments under acts
containing the essential provisions Of
ours. This action of the federal auth
critics portends not only an immed-
late brighter lav not only for South
Carolina but for all the Southern
States" /
Naturally, Commissioner Watson
was highly elntcd at the outcome Of
the ease. However, he expressed no
surprise at the decision, as he felt
absolutely sure all along that he was
acting strictly within the law and had
abundant faith that the case would be
decided in favor Of South Carolina.
The victory for South Carolina in this
extremely important matter will
mean decided stimulation in move
mcnt to bring desirable class Of
white immigrants direct to the South.

Directors of San Quentin Prison Will
Resume the Investigation
Today
BY Associated Press.

<hf'SONAe''Se
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 5-The
prison directors will meet at San Quen-
tin tomorrow to resume their inVesti-
cation of that institution with a view
of determining whether Warden Tomp-
kins is, after all, the man for the
place. All the directors will be pres
ent and it is expected that the inquiry
will be brought to a close so far as
the hearing of witnesses at the prison
is concerned.
1t may be necessary to hold a meet
ing in San Francisco to discuss the
evidence and take final action. The
investigation was begun six weeks ago
and has been delayed for various
causes.
1t is generally believed that the war;
den will be either asked to resign or
severely disciplined.
AS yet but three candidates for the
wardenship are in the field. They are
