him that she had done so.
"Is this your voluntary act and
deed?" he inquired.
"I felt my blood rush to my face"
she said, "I was SO angry and as
tonished."
"Well, sir, I said, do you think
would sign it if I didn't want to-?
Didn't you see my husband down town
and didn't he tell you I signed it?"
The notary hastened to explain that
it was only the usual form and was
not intended to reflect upon the char
acter of either husband OF wife, nor
to intimate: that force had been re-
sorted to in order to obtain her sig
nature.
"I'1l never forget how ashamed I
was of my ignorance" she said. "I

such common things after that and
to teach them to my daughter"

Home Grown Draft Horses.

The editor of Wallace's Farmer
says:
It has been a favorite theory OF
ours for many years that draft hors-
es of a type second to none in the
world can be grown on the fertile
prairie soils of the west, especially in
the glaciated districts. The draft
horse cannot be grown anywhere ex-
cept on rich soils. When taken to an
inferior soil he adapts himself to the
environment by reducing his size in
order to save his life. We can, there
fore, see no reason why the very best
type of draft horse cannot be grown
in the United States as we'll as in
Belgium or France or the rich val
leys of England or Scotland. All that
is necessary is to secure the best sires
and dams available and give them and
their progeny proper feed and other
care. The results of the show at the
recent Iowa State Fair, especially of
draft mares, has furnished indisput-
able proof of the correctness of oul
position.
Without going into details, which
Our readers will find in our reports of
the fair elsewhere in this issue, it
may be stated that draft mares grown
in the state of Iowa have proved
themselves in the eyes of the Judges
to be equal and in some cases better
than the very best that have been
imported from foreign countries. By
importing the best foreign blood and
giving it superior care we have now
reached a point where we can grow
Our own brood mares of the very
highest quality, and thus pave the way
for horses not merely for the local
market, which now takes all the good
ones that can be found, but for ex-
port to Europe
1t stands to reason that when we
once have the quality we can grow
horses cheaper on our corn and c1o-
yer and blue grass land than they can
be grown on the higher priced feed
anywhere in the old world The time
is soon coming when we must fur
nish Europe with draft horses. The
cost Of transportation will not equal
the increased cost of growing hors-
es in the older countries. The cost of
freight will gradually lessen, and they
will in the future be sold abroad at
less expense.
Instead of exporting them as we
now do, to Our great loss both of fer
tility Of the soil and of actual money,
we will send across horse flesh as
freely as we send abroad cattle and

The Trade Dollar Consolidated
Mining Conpany's Power Plant
at Swan Falls.

Nuggets editor visited the electric
power plant at Swan Falls, last week,
on the occasion of starting the wheels
which will turn the newly completed
extension to that plant. To describe it
better, we think it necessary to give a
brief history of the original plant, as
completed and running for several years
past, the construction of which was be-
gun in 1899.
The site selected for its construction
is on Snake river, about eight miles
above where the Idaho Northern rail
road bridge crosses it at Guffey, where
the river has a considerable fall at a
point where a basalt dyke crosses the
stream, with basalt rock island near
the center. Between the island and the
southern bank of the river the dyke
cuts across the river just above low
water mark until within about 80 feet
the southern bank, where the current
has cut out the bottom to a considerable
depth, and the current rushed through
with great force. Only on the north
side of the island there was no channel
during low water. To construct dam
on the hard rock between the island
and the chute of rapid water next to the
south shore, was not a difficult under
taxing. This was done by boiling tim
ber to the rock bottom, filling in behind
them with rock and covering them over
with timbers. This part of the dam
was made Is feet high and very solid.
But to fill the swift current between
there and the south bank of the river
was more difficult proposition. This
was finally accomplished after two or
more unsuccessful efforts, by building
an immense crib OF heavy timbers and
floating it into place and filling it with
rock. Rock was then filled into this
chute for a hundred yards or more
above the crib, until the water was

Money just Pouring In.

Western and northwestern points are
daily receiving big shipments of gold
from the east. Over two millions has
already been received by Portland in
stitutions and other points nearby are
also getting punches of the yellow metal.
This fact, coupled with the measures
adopted by the government, has modi-
fed the situation to such an extent
that conditions are rapidly going back
to normal. The country today is too
prosperous. the northwest is too full of
money, or rather of the commodities
which represent money, to be seriously
affected by shortage ofcurrency which

power house has four 66-inch American
vertical turbines. each capable of exert
ing 75O II. P. These four wheels trans
nit their power through bevel gears to
main line shaft, which is directly con
nected to two 700 K. w. generators and
two 40 X. w exciters, giving switch
board capacity for the new plant of

shaft is disconnected in the center so
that elmer generator can be run indie
pendent of the other. These new wheels
are regulated by Lombard governors
with switchboard control. In the main
building travelling crane can pick up
even the heaviest pieces of the ma
chinery, and carry it to any part of the
new building. The switchboard is To-
Gated near the center of the new build
ing, and when the work is completed,
the old switchboard will be moved
alongside of the new, thus allowing one
operator TO control ali the machinery
of the plant from that place; all the
current from all the generators coming
to common bus bar, and from there
led to the transformer room, where the
current for tine North line is to be step

were 2I6 cases of typhoid under treatment
in the city. At the close of the correspond
