The financial trouble is In our "a
vor, the large forces of men that have
been discharged by contractors on &C.
count of the lack of funds being put
to work In our part of the country"
said Edward T. Barber of the firm of
isle & Barber. sales agents for Good
ing, the new town on the main line,
who is in the city from Gooding to
spend several days looking after bus
mess in connection with the opening
of the new townsite on November IA.
Continuing, Mr.. Barber said: "The
men interested in the enterprise have
the money to get all the labor now
that they want for much cheaper
wages than those paid few weeks
ago, and are doubling the crews at
work on the canal and electric rail-
road. The first unit of the railway
system Is being built now, extending
from Miner to Gooding. Construction
crews are at work at both ends of the
line, one crew working out of Good
ing and the other working out of
Miner.
Donald & Grant, who have Sc
cured the contract for 16 miles of the
canal, have just unloaded Conan
camp, including AZ horses, two grad
ing machines, 20 dump wagons, Is
lumber wagons and necessary camp
equippage for so laborers The con-
tractors donald & Grant, have just
completed a big contract at Aiming
ton, Mont, and the CONAN camp is
one of their camps from that place.
The contractors have three other
camps that will be moved in as soon
as the work is completed in that vi
cinity, the first of the three being
moved in about two weeks and the
other two soon afterwards. When all
four are assembled the contractors
will have over 400 head of horses at
work and about half as many men.
1--WE are opening up an empire, the
magnitude of which the people can
not realize. The new land is being
brought under irrigation in Lincoln
county aggregates 100000 acres,
which is more than twice the aggre-
gate area of the land irrigated in the
Boise and Payette valleys combined.
1t also might be of interest to know
that the ultimate plan of the railroad
company is to extend their line from
Gooding to Soldier and from there to
Boise. This line will also extend into
Nevada, striking the Southern Pacific
and spreading branch lines through
out the middle Snake River valley.
"Gooding, the townsite, differs from
other new towns opened in that vi
cinity in that 1t is on the main line of
the Oregon Short Line railroad, hav-
Ing six passenger trains through each
day. The new town is located in a
field, or rather an alfalfa meadow,

paper - an advertising medium ID
given In the experience of the United
States government. The navy depart
ment has spent thousands OF dollars
advertising for recruits on bill boards
In street cars, by circulars and
through the newspapers. Not salts
fed with the results through bill
board and street car poster advertis-
ing, the officials Of the department
decided to cut out the billboards and
confine their advertising to the news
papers alone. The change has caused
a marked increase in the number of
enlistments in the navy. The expert
ence Of the deparement stores of the
east, of theatrical companies and
of all the large advertisers has been
the same. There is not one of them
but what will emphatically declare
that the results secured through ad-
vertising in the press are greater
than those secured through all other
mediums of advertising. There is a
lesson in this for the man who has
> limited amount of money to spend
IN advertising. Use the newspapers.
The class of people who have money
% spend are the people who read the
papers and who also read the adver-
,isements. Where one man considers
he wording of billboard or poster,
10 will read the display advertise
nent in newspaper of standing.

sorting that 1t was promised by for
mer District Attorney Morrison that

exempt. No such letter was, how
ever, presented in court, either by
Judge Lands or by District Attorney
Sims, the successor of District At
torney Morrison.
District Attorney Sims announced
that within a few hours a situation
had arisen making it desirable that
he present certain facts to the de-
partment. He said he would in a
short time go to Washington and pres
ent personally to the attorney general

CIR NOT ALL A GIFT.
Generosity That Was Purely the Re.
silt of Accident.

A missionary bishop told this story
about F. Marion Crawford, the famous
novelist:
"Mr. Crawford went to school," he
said, in Concord. and one day he was
taken to call at a Concord clergy
mans.
THE clergyman had a missionary
box on his drawing room table, and,
time hanging heavily on the boys
hands, he amused himself with try
ing whether a silver dollar-it was
all the money he had in the world,
and he had converted it into that gi-
gant'c coin for safety-would go into
the slit in the box's top.
1T was close fit, but unfortunate
ly it did go, and the coin slipped out
of the embryo authors fingers. There
was terrible crash of silver falling
among the coppers-and then the boy,
as the novelists say, knew no more.
When he came to himself he found
tie clergyman and his family in rap
lures over his generosity"
