LOGS COMING RAPIDLY
White Pine Milling Company Pond
Full of Timber

The continued high water in the
river is bringing down the logs at
a rapid rate. Old time loggers say
they do not remember when condi-
tions were more favorable for this
work. The White Pine pond is
packed solidly with logs and the
ditch is full nearly to its head. Next
week the logging traiu will be put
on.
McNish's logs are also coming in
lively. The main drive is at the
canyon below Smiths Ferry and will
reach here before July l.
The Prestel logs are hung up in
the sloughs below town waiting for
lower water. No booms have been
put in at Payette and none can until
the river falls.

which Fred ]. Bliss, citizen of En-
NETT, Idaho, who owns ranch in
the Deer Lodge valley, Montana,
seeks to close the Washoe smelters
at Anaconda by injunction and to
recover damages from the Washoe
company for alleged damage done
his property from fumes, came to a
close today before Master Crane.
The decision of the latter is not ex-
pected for several months. The
case has covered a period of almost
a year. Great interests are involved
as the close Of the Anaconda Smelt-
ers would depopulate Anaconda and
would throw $1,000 men out Of work
in Montana. Mr.. Bliss says he does
not think the case is concluded yet;
that only the prosecution is through.
The defense has 80 days in which to
reply.

TO DEVELOP EASTER
Contract Awarded for a Two
Hundred Foot Shaft.

The party of nine stockho lders in
the Easter mine at Pearl, who had
been here for ten days making an
investigation of the property, were
so we'll pleased with the showing
that they decided to at once begin
development work and as starter
let a contract for a 200-foot shaft.
Arrangements were also made to
sink 300 feet deeper, or 500 feet in
all, when the POO foot shaft is finish
ed.
The company also decided to con-
tinue development at the present
level and run on the ledges. The
mill is in running order nov and
large force of men will be employed
to furnish ore to keepit in operation.

Do You Want a Mower?

The best is the cheapest. The Nc
Cormick will last longer than any
other three mowers made. They al
ways have and they always will. If
you have had no experience. ask,
your neighbor who has had.
You will have less trouble and less
repairs to buy. You can always get
repairs for the Mccormick. LOOK
OUT FOR HOT, AIR. Remember,
there are 107 Mccormick machines
made to one of any other make and
the actual cost is $3.50 more than
any other mower made.

Who Pay. for Water?

The question as to who will be ex-
pected to pay the Canyon Canal Co.
for water next week when the water
is pumped into the canal has been
asked so often that we haye taken
pains to inquire as to the plans and
purposes of the Company, and Mr..
Niver has given us the following for
publication: George B. Rogers,
president of the land company. is
now at the dam installing the pump,
motor and transformers and expects
to be pumping 10000 gallons of
water per minute into the canal
through the headgate by Monday,
the 10th. Those who have no land
under cultivation and do not need
the water will not be expected to
pay until the dam is repaired and
the company is fulfilling its con-
tract Those who use the water on
their lands will be expected to pay
for water as though there had been
no interruption in the flow of water.
The company is expending between
$4,000 and $1,000 at this time simply
to supply water to those who need |
it. This expense the company stands
without expecting anyone to contri-
butte. In other words those who
use the water will be expected to
pay now; those who do not use it,
will pay when the dam is repaired |
This is certainly fair and equitable. !"

SEVEN LOGGERs DROWN
Boats Capsize in Rapids on
South Fork.

Seven loggers in the employ O.
the White Pine Milling company los
their lives in the angry waters of tn,
South Fork of the Payette, about II
miles above Garden Valley, Thurs
day afternoon.
they were Joe Boden, Bert Ure
Mel Curtis, Joe Hamilton, Tom
Highland, Frank Fitzgerald and
David Mcmillan.
The party had two boats which
were used on stretches of the stream
where they could be handled. Thurs
day afternoon the two boats pulled
into a large eddy just above the
place where the accident occurred, it
being the intention to tie up there
for the night and let the boats down
through some rapids just below in
the morning.
The first boat failed to make the
landing place and determined to run
the rapids. Soon after it struck the
bad water the boat filled and sank.
The men in the second boat thought
the first had succeeded in making
the run safely and started down
after it, meeting with the same
fate.
There were sixteen men in the
boats. Nine succeeded in reaching
the shore after a terrible experience
in the boiling water. They were
tossed about like corks, beat against
the rocks and drawn down in whirl-
pools. One by one the men manag-
ed to get to shore, battered and
bruised and nearly drowned. Some
If them were carried down long
distance before they could work
heir way to landing places.
Seven of the sixteen were not
,qual to the struggle and were dis
Ibled by being thrown against the
ocks and were finally carried off as
oil levied by the rapids upon the
nen who dare attempt to navigate
hem.
The two boats were battered to
ieces, so swift was the water and
0 numerous the rocks against which
hey were hurled until they were
educed to splinters.
Diligent search has been made for
ne bodies of the drowned men,
ut none has been found. Pieces of
he boat and oars have been found.
he water is very high and is quite
luddy. 1t is not thought any of the
0dies will be recovered until the
ater recedes. But little is known
bout the unfortunate victims.

ExTENDTOSMITHFERRY
Idaho Northern Surveyors
Put in the Field.

As predicted in The Index few
months ago, The Idaho Northern
railroad will shortly be extended up
the river from Emmett and though
no definite information can be OBJ
tained as to its objective point, it is
current rumor that Smiths Ferry
will be the end of the line for a
time.
Tuesday morning, party Of five
surveyors, consisting of John Shultz,
E. P. Bigelow, E. Hughs, |. ]. Irving
and L. C. Parkinson, arrived in the
city. They were equipped with
complete camp outfit, large con-
signment of provisions, a Jap cook
and all kinds of surveyors tools.
The survey was started from this
point this morning and will continue
to the Ferry, where it will connect
with the Thunder Mountain wagon
road. 1t will make that town the
outftting point for Thunder Noun
tain. Long Valley and large min
ing, timber and farming country. In
Garden Valley coal deposits have
been found and the new railroad will
cause them to be developed and
placed on the market.
1t is believed the company recent
ly formed by Nampa and Emmett
parties for the manufacture of ties
was organized to furnish ties for the
new railroad.
1t was Colonel Dewey's ambition
and object when he built the road
into Emmett to continue it to Pay
cite lakes and it begins to look as if
the son had decided to carry out the
plans Of his father.
That the extension will be of
great benefit to this city cannot be
ibubted, as it will open up very
.ich market for fruit and produce.

JAMAICA'S HARD r
DEAL FROM HOME

Correspondence from Kingston, ia
| states that Dr. Jocelyne, coadjutor
bishop of Jamaica, sails for New York
fortnight hence and will spend six
weeks in America raising funds to
help in the rebuilding of the Anglican
churches destroyed in that city. Arch
bishop Nutfall leaves for England q
week later with the same object, and
also with the more important one of
trying to induce the British govern
ment to give grant of $3.50, 900 to help
the poorer classes in putting back
their homes.
In this connection a strong point
Will be made of the fact that through
the act of the governor, Sir Alexander
Swettenham, the large monetary con-
tributions which were confidently ex-
pected from America were nipped in
the bud. and in spite of boasts from
English cabinet ministers that Eng
land was quite able to look after her
stricken children" the mansion house
fund is not growing very fast, while
the government itself has, according
to reports received there, announced
Its intention of refusing to give the
small grant asked for and will only
give loan on hard terms.
England by her policy is rapidly all
enating the loyalty of her Jamaica
subjects, and, if the blacks could get
rid of the feeling that the Yankees
would soon lynch or burn them all up.
1t is certain they would go with the
whites in a plebiscite to hand Jamaica
over to the United States. 1t is Amer
lean capital that now runs the biggest
industry in he island-bananas.
Outlook for a new Kingston in the
immediate future gets blacker and
blacker every day. If the insurance
companies ever pay, it will only be
by process of law; that is now GER
tain; and what with the British gov
eminent refusing the grant, and only
giving the s5,000,G00 on hard terms,
the unfortunate people see naught but
total ruin staring them in the face. 1t
does not now look as if Kingston will
be rebuilt in generation to come, and
as result hundreds, especially clerks,
are emigrating as fast as they can
from the ruined city.
Sir Alexander Swettenham has been
to the colonial office by a po-
lice inspector (an Englishman), who,
it is alleged, ne roundly abused in the
crisis Immediately following the
The result of the COM
plant is being awaited with interest,
but there is good ground for the belief
that the governor will not remain in
