There will be rare day in summer
| in Idaho this year-a unique day-one
without precedent. Uncle sam expects
| to invite members of his numerous
family from all parts of the country to
an unusual event in the southern part
of the state. He will offer for sale
about 1000 acres of land contained in
three townsites situated in the heart OF
great tract of 10000 acres Of rich and
fertile agricultural land which will be
watered by the Minidoka project. a
great national irrigation Work, costing
| So. 100000. The town sites are all plat
| ted with wide streets and bOulevards,
| with parks and extensive areas reserv-
ed for public buildings. The lots are
| to be disposed of to the highest bid
ders for cash. They look sufficiently
desolate and forlorn now; but with the

will bloom forth luXuriantly. The
dates of the sale are not yet SET but it
! is expected that congress will soon des-
| ignate them.

In this state OF affairs indications

the negro was pursued for several
blocks but had too great a start.
Miss Burton works for the Suther-
land Medicine company, and turned
into Twelfth street from Broadway en-
route home. taking Kentucky avenue
over to Huntington Row. While pass
ing in the rear Of the Washington

Boyd Shemwell's Family Fear
Foul Play
Horse and Wagon Arrive Home
Without Him and Search Is
Instituted.
NO CLEw TO HIS WHEREABOUTS

A rumor is current this afternoon
that Boyd Shemwell was found six
miles in the country lying by a camp
fire and badly burned.
DIR. J. w. Pendley was called six
miles out on the Shutdown road to
attend an injured man supposed TO
be Shemwell.
Boyd Shemwell. of 274 Glenn
ents street, fredericksburg, carrier
on rnral mail route. No. 3, in the
Florence Station and Hard Money
neighborhood. is missing and no
trace OF him has been secured since
he passed Thompson's Mill, five
miles from town. at s o'clock yester-
day afternoon. His horse and wagon
arrived home all right but the driver
was not to be found. Shemwel's
gloves. pipe. and whip were lying on
the seat and the ZINES. were in po-
sition indicating that he had dropped
them and stepped out. The mail in
the wagon was intact.
This afternoon the family an
nounced that no trace of the popular
carrier had been secured later than
) o'clock yesterday afternoon. At 5
o'clock in the morning he left home
and drove to the post Office to get his
mail He was returning home yester-
day afternoon and passed Thomp-
sons mill. He was also noticed by
employees on the Ben Franke's farm
in the same neighborhood. He was
in his usual good spirits.
Shemwell generally arrives home
at o'clock, but at 7 o'clock last
night he had not returned. At 8
o'clock his absence alarmed men,
bers of the family, and they went
outside to see II he was in sight.
Several rods from the house his
horse and wagon stood. The horse
had stopped on the side of the road
and an examination showed the wag-
on empty. A search OF the immediate
brought no results.
This morning two young men ac-
quainted with the count we're COM
mlssioned to search for him. They
trayersed his usual route but found
no trace of him. At noon they search
ed in the vicinity of Thompson's and
Franke's mills, but reported no re-
suits.
Shemwell has been a carrier in
the rural route service since it was
created this county.
Mr. Shemwell is As years old, is
married and has a family.

FOR CITY JAILER
MANY MENTIONED
Police Commissioner Mann
Clark May Run
His Friends Talk as Though He Is In
Receptive Mood-Joe Pur-
chase Is Possibility.
CAMPAIGN WILL OPEN SOON

Two months more should the ante
primary contest be in full blast in
the local Democratic party, and al
ready a few lighting rods are being
put in position for early political
thunder storms.
City Jailer seems TO be the plum
of richest promise and since Tom
Evetts is reported to have signified
an intention TO return to railroad
ing, patriots, who would gladly as
sumo the responsibility Of caring for
and maintaining the city's prisoners,
are insinuating their own qualifica-
lions and credentials on their friends.
Police Lieut.. Tom Potter has been
mentioned but there seems to be
something even better in store for
him. Patrolman Hurley was said to
be casting sleeps eyes toward the
office, and Joe Purchase, brother-in-
law OF Jailer Evetts. is expected to
announce for the race.
The most interesting rumor, how
ever. is in regard to Mann Clark. po-
lice and fire commissioner, whose
friends are talking in way to indi-
cate that the commissioner Is in a
receptive mood, to say the least.
Whether or not he will run, it is
said, depends altogether on condi-
tions and not inclination.
