Victim OF the River
Little Boy Supposed to be
Drowned in Big Wood
Body Not Found.

Sterling Pettyjohn, the eight year
old son Of John Pettyjohn, living six
miles west of Gooding on what is known
as the old Frost ranch is supposed to
have been drowned Monday in Fig
Wood river. The boy was sent across
the river Monday morning with buck
ct of milk which he was in the habit Of
delivering to neighbor. A foot bridge
crosses the river between the two
ranches and the boy was seen in the
neighborhood of the foot bridge about
half past ten O'Clock on his return from
delivering the milk. He failed to ar
rive at his home and the entire neigh
borhood have so far been unable to
find trace of him. TIE general opinion
is that he fell from the bridge into the
river and his body has been carried
down stream.

HE'S A STAR MEMBER.
7. NJ. Starrh Appointed to Place On
State Pharmacy Beard.

T. NJ. Starrh has just received his
commission from the governor as a
member of the state board of pharmacy
to succeed R. S. Haines, Of Idaho
Falls, resigned. There is no more pro
gressive or studious pharmacist in the
state than Mr.. Starrh, and the place
comes to him as real honor. The
appointment runs for almost three
years.
Mr.. Starrh is spending a lot of time
and grey matter in the preparation of
a line of druggists goods that may one
of these days mean big things for Sho-
shone. Already he is putting out a
number of preparations, among them
the Sage Brush Hair Tonic, which is
attracting wide spread attention. 1t is
put up by the company bearing the
name of the preparation, but Mr..
Starrh is the compounder.

Big Boom Begins
$4,000 Sale of GOOding
Town Lots in 7 Days
Opening Nov. IL.

The Gooding Townsite company has
been formally organized and incorpor-
ated with Governor Gooding, Amanda
J. Gooding, A. J. Schubert, D. c. Nc
Waters and Fentress Hill as the board
of directors. Governor Gooding has
been elected president of the company
and A. ]. Schubert is secretary.
The fact that Mr. D. c. McWatters,
general mana er for the North Side
Twin Falls company, and Fentress Hill
the personal representative of the Kuhn
Brothers are among the list of direc-
tors for the Gooding Townsite company
will set at rest the rumors and doubts
in the minds of some as to the entrance
of the electric line into Gooding from
Miner. These two gentlemen are on
the board to represent the interests of
the electric railway people of whom the
Kuhn brothers are the financial hackers.
The personnel of the board of directors
alone is sufficient to establish the con-
fdence in the ability and good faith of
the townsite company. AS an evidence
of the fact that the buying public does
have faith in the future of Gooding
attention is called to the fact that dur
ing the one week that lots have been
on sale on the plan of selling alternate
lots before the opening day, $35, 900
worth of lots have been disposed of by
the sales agents, Lisle & Barber.
Water is already on the Gooding town
site-a developed water right goes with
every lot sold-and water is to be sup
piled next year to the land tributary un-
der the Big Wood reservoir project.
The contractors are now working on the
diversion dam, to take the water into
the canal system, and this dam will be
finished in about 40 days; also, they are
working hard on the great million dol
lar reservoir dam to supply the whole
tract with water Some contemplated
engineering changes may make it pos
sible to cut out some of the slow, ex-
pensive rock-cut work on the canal, and
bring on the water much earlier than
had been expected.

THE TRUTH ABOUT RAILROADS.
A Kansas Estimate That Is Good
All Over the Country.

The present financial nightmare,
which, though it is really only ticti-
tious danger so far as a real cause is
concerned, is still a real thing to those
who deal in any of the multifarious
forms of business credit, makes the fol-
lowing analysis of the cause of the
gloom very pertinent:
About IS years ago there arose in
Kansas a political party that reveled in
gloom and was founded on indigestion.
Its literature read like the direful i'm
agin ngs of nightmare and its speakers
and platforms constantly presaged the
speedy downfall of the republic. The
most cheerful sounds promulgated by
it's leaders made dirge seem by COM
parison like ragtime music and the most
doleful lamentations of jeremiah like
the utterances of exuberant hilarity.
The great bulk of the people of this
bully nation however refused to follow
off after this procession of gloom or to
adopt sackcloth and ashes as a standard
raiment. Even the followers of the
new political party got weary of listen
ing to tales ofwoe and being gdenominated
calamity howlers. The party of despair
reached its high tide in 1892 after
which it began to rapidly disintegrate
and within 10 years had become merely
a reminiscence. The cause of its speedy
decline was not because its claims were
all based on foolishness, for they were
not. Some of them We're utterly foolish
and impracticable, but others were not
and are now being actively promulgated
by large number of men in both the

IMPORTANT BUSINESS CHANGE.
Strong Local Backing for the Big
Wood River irrigation Project.

The purchase this week of large
block of stock in the I1aho Irrigation
company by Fred W. Goodng is an
event of more than little Importance
to Lincoln county and southern Idaho.
Mr.. Gooding will also be placed on the
board of directors for the company and
this means that much of his time will
be given to the success of the project
until it is completed.
Mr.. Gooding has resided in Idaho for
the past 25 years and during that time
he has become through his own efforts
and business ability, one of the wealth
lest men of the state. He is a man
VINO will inspire the confidence of the
Idaho public in his efforts more than
most any other man in the state be-
cause of the fact of his own success
and his well known habit of doing
things and doing them right.
When Fred Gooding invests his cash
and talents in an enterprise it is because
the venture is money maker in his
Judgment and there are thousands of
people in Idaho who will bank more on
his Judgment as to the value of an en-
terprise than on that of any other man
in the state.
Mr.. Gooding has just returned from
a thorough inspection of the works now
constructed by this company and he
saws their big ditch is the most COM
plete piece of work of the kind he has
ever seen, that at the pIesent rate of
work the contractors will have the big
ditch through the hill 8 miles west of
Alberta within 80 days and from there
into Alberta the work is easy digging.
He visited the site of the great dam
for the reservoir and pronounces it an /
ideal location for the reservoir with a
supply of water that will amply cover
all demands made upon it from either
the segregation or the desert claims
along the line of the ditch. He thinks
it possible that water may be ready
next spring for the lands lying south
of Gooding and says the work will be
rushed to completion as rapidly as pos
sible.
The fact that Mr. Gooding has be-
come financially interested in this pro
iect will add largely to the local inter-

MINE WORTH MILLIONS.
Joe Darrah Believes Fort Pitt Prop
erty is a Wonder.

Joe Daarah and Adolph Maier re
turned this week from the Fort Pitt
Mill and Mining company property, in
Custer county, above Ketchum. They
brought with them two large gold
bricks, the result of a 20-days run with
10 stamps of their 20 stamp mill. The
result is entirely satisfactory to Mr..
Darrah, who is the largest stockholder,
and the manager of the property. Mr..
Maier is the metallurgist and assayer,
and had charge of the cyaniding pro-
cess, which is used for extracting the
last of the gold from the mill tailings,
after amalgamating what can be
amalgamated by the free milling pro
cess.
The mine is one of the most promis-
ing properties in Idaho, says Mr.. Maier,
who is a capable mining engineer from
Denver. He made the statement that
if such a mine were in Colorado, 1t
would be worth millions 1t is worth
Just as much here, for the purposes Of
gold production, for it is easily access
ible, the ore occurs in immense quanti-
ties, and is rich enough to make it
interesting for the biggest mining man
who ever got his wealth from the rocks.
The mine is well developed, with sew
9ral thousand feet of tunnels, and there
is one blocked out to keep the full 20
stamps busy for years, without un-
covering other ore bodies. Work was
started late this year, and then under
unsatisfactory conditions, so that only
one half of the mill was available, for
only short time late in the season.
The full mill will be equipped next sea
son, and run to its fullest capacity.
The mill has a $50 ton cyanide plant, to
treat all the taiiings from the 20 stamps
run to their limit

WANT TO SPEND THEIR MONEY.
Blaine County Taxpayers Anxious
to Buy Tax Receipts.

Fred Bradley, receiver of the United
States land office, and A. D. Williams,
assessor of Blaine county, came down
from Haley, Wednesday night on bust
ness. They bought some fine lots in
Gooding, in which town they have
abundant faith. Mr.. Bradley says that
they may move the land office down
there, if the town grows right. Mr..
Williams says that money is beginning
to come in in considerable sums for the
Blaine county taxes. He sent out
notices of taxes due, few days ago
and the tax payers, who have more
moneG than they want to take care of,
are hurrying in to the tax collectors
office to get rid of it.

old political parties.

old political parties.
The reason the party died was be-
cause people got weary of sighs and
groans and pessimism. We like to see
the clouds gather once in a while be-
cause they bring rain and rain is neces-
sary to crops and prosperity, but we
soon get tired of clouds. After three
successive days of cloudy weather peo-
pie begin to long for sunshine. And SO
it is in politics. The bowler has his
place no doubt. Old jeremiah was
necessary in his day and so are prophets
of evil necessary to make people take
care of themselves and not get too con-
fident or accumulate an unseemly gay
ETY..
We still have calamity howlers but at
present they seem to be recruited from
an entirely different class than that of
Is years ago. Then the calamity howl
ers were supposed to come largely from
the rural districts or from the fellows
who congregate about the corner groc-
cry store and wore out the seats of
pantaloons on the empty store boxes
while they Uttered the side walks with
shavings and saliva. But at present
the calamity howlers are the men at
the other end of the line. Multimillion-
aires are seeing red and belching like
confirmed dyspeptics.
The latest calamity howler to break
into public print is President Ripley of
the Santa Fe. Apparently Mr.. Ripley
has bad case. He sees nothing ahead
but clouds and thick darkness. Within
very brief space of time, according to
Mr. Ripley, instead of there being two
jobs waiting for each man willing to
work there will be two men waiting for
each job. He also advises his friends
with coin to keep the same. He would
not have them invest dollar under
present conditions. 1t would seem to
the plain, common citizen, who doesn't
pretend to understand the mysteries of
high finance nor to know much about
the transportation problem, that Mr..
Ripley has an overload of gloom. He
should take few of Rosser's charcoal
tablets for his stomach.
People are not half as hostile to the
railroads as Mr.. Ripley seems to think.
If he were to put on his working clothes
and go out among the people without
letting them know who he was he
would find they have pretty clear idea
of the absolute necessity of the rail
roads to their own prosperity. They
understand clearly enough that without
facilities in this day no man
can successfully carry on a business.
They understand that the value of near
Iy all kinds of property depends on the
facilities in the imme
liate neighborhood of the property
