REPAIR THE MALAD BRIDGE.
Partially Wrecked Structure to Be
Restored for Usefulness.

County Surveyor John Koets left Sat
urday for the Hagerman country %
carry out the orders Of the county
commissioners IN regard torepairing the
bridgeat the mouth Of the MaIad river
When It was built, the ends of the
bridge were covered with dirt, and the
timbers gradually rotted away, without
being noticed During the high water
last spring, the bridge went to the bad,
by some Of the timbers giving way and
allowing the structure to settle, making
it dangerous to cross, though the bridge
did not go into the river. Mr.. Koets
has had to wait until low water, to put
in the masonry piers that will be built
TO support the structure The people
of the lower Snake river section OF
Lincoln county have had much reason
to regret the accident TO the bridge, as
1t has been source Of great annoyance
to them

The bullets whistle through the air,

Around the blazing, cracking fire
The COW girls sit and gaily chat
The coyotes howl brings them no fear,
They tease and coax the fierce bobcat
The rattle snakes buzz brings them
delight,
What fear these cowgirl maids so free.
There's nothing on earth can give them

SHIPPING HORSES EAST.
Once Worthless Cayuses Making a
Long and Costly Pilgrimage.

A number Of cars of horses, perhaps
two train loads in all, have gone east
through Shoshone within the past few
days.
From the high prices paid for horses
here in Idaho, and elsewhere in the far
west, one would expect almast any
thing other than that horses could be
shipped east at a profit But horses
are high in the east, and scarce, too, so
that the shipping industry fiourishes.
In nothing else have the farmers and
stockmen of Idaho lost such an oppor-
tunity to make money as in the raising
of good horses. A few years ago, the
Spanish-American and Boer wars prac-
tically ended the horse-breeding indus
Try in the west. Train loads Of horses
went to the wars, that netted the own
ers from SIS apiece, down as low as 8
apiece and take the whole herd The
price had been so low for years that al
most every horse owner was glad TO
sell down to the last hoof. for any
price that might be offered
It was really quite remarkable that
so few stayed with the business. The
talk of automobiles displacing horses
had some effect, and the long period Of
low prices had some. But an epidemic
of shOrt-sightedness seems tohave been
the better explanation. for one of the
$40 mares of that day could by now
easily have about her $500 family Of
colts.

SURE CURE FOR TRAMPS.
ShoshOne Woman Invents Antidote
for TrucUIent VagabOnds.

There is one woman in Shoshone who
deserves a gold medal. and the city, or
county, or state should give it to her
for her services to the commonwealth.
Oneday last summer while she was
getting out the family laundry big,
boozy tramp visited her home. He saw
no men folks around. and that and the

handy. The tramp was not quick
enough to make his get away, and the
spoke laid him out ike log. He
wasn't laid out permanently, but he saw
that coming in the next blow, and the
way he scrambled to his feet and flew
for the gate resembled nothing so much
