WORK TO BEGIN
ON HIGH PRAIRIE

]. H. Garrett, general manager
of the Great Western Beet Sugar
company, is here from Mountain
Home. He says the company mas
completed plans for the work on the
High Prairie reservoir, the last in
the chain of storage reservoirs that
supply water for the canal system
from which water is furnishedto a
large body of land adjacent to Noun
tain Home. ''We are still expert
encing trouble in securing men and
teams, said Mr.. Garrett, "but
there al e some indications that the
situation will soon be relieved. We
secured 50 additional teams a few
days ago. That nubmer represents
only a small portion Of the total
1 needed, but it helps some. We
hope to make arrangements soon for
a large number of teams. Just as
soon as possible we viii begin work
in earnest and complete the upper
reservoir without delay. So soon
as this reservoir and the additional
canals shall be. completed we will
be in a position to irrigate very
much larger area proportionately
than is represented by the extra
work We have plenty of water
this year for the land under culti-
walton. In fact, there is more than
can be used.
Mr.. Garrett takes enough time
from his industrial activities to as
sist in the maintenance of the
Mountain Home baseball team,
which is member of the Idaho
league. His connection with the
team, coupled with recollections OF
the days when he played third base
, for his college team, have operated
to rekindie the diamond fire in hi:
breast and it is now burning bright

fan in the state.

Sunday was a poor day for base
bail and the chill wind VAS the
cause of the poor attendance AT the
Nanlpa- Mountain Home game.
But the weather was forgotten
when after lengthy game Noun
tain Home pulled out winner by a
score Of five te four. To secure a
game after two defeats seems to
have put the. base bali enthusiasts
in good humor once more and
there is more Of JOY in the circle
of fans. Manager Goddard and
Patron Garrett are also in high
spirits and feel that the time has
come when we will begin to make
fast climb up the percentage table.
The excursion from Nampa from
which place large attendance had
been expected proved disappointing,
as less than so people came with
the visiting team. The local at
tendance was much larger than at
the opening game, however.
The game was not marked by
rapid or sensational playing on
either side, and not even two
base hit was made by either team.
The pitchers were about as evenly
balanced as the scales of justice,
and although Bliss for Nampa
struck out four more men than did
Lent for the home team, Lent was
able to deliver the happy quality at
+t,o ,~DnoV fines
Nampa began by making two
scores in the first inning causing q
numbness among the local shouter:
that was not removed until the
home team brought in three run'
in the third, and Joy was uncon
| fined when two more were adder
5 in the fifth.
f The visitors added a score II
each of the seventh and eighth in
nings but failed to do any effective
work in the ninth. Pitcher Len
got himself out of bad hole in th'
$ eighth; the bases were occupied b.

Rich Ore in 0wyhee.

We were shown a specimen from
one of Marcus Whites mines at
Flint, presented to c. NJ. Hays
with note accompanying it read
ing as follows: t'Silver bearing
gray copper or tetrahedrite from the
Ruby Silver Mine, Flint district,
Owyhee county, Idaho. Assay val
ue 1900 ounces silver, nine-tenths
ounces gold per ton. - The speci-
men is a beauty, and reveals the
fact that Flint district is rich in sill
yer values. The owner, MI'.
White, has remained by the camp
for a long time, and has demon
strated that perseverance will ac-
compIish wonders. He has run
on this shoot of ore for some dis
tance, and has bonanza in sight.
He is to be congratulated on his
hard work and time spent in open
ing up his rich ore, and his friends
congr atulate him on the result.

Mr.. Horne states that when he left
Nampa, the grain was waving on
the hill sides and the beet crop was
so far advanced that the farmers
will begin thinning this week.
This means that the beets are a
full month in adavnoe OF those
planted in other parts of Idaho.
The crop promises TO be a wonder
full one, as 1000 acres have been
planted by the farmers IN the Nam
pa and Payette districts, which is
considerably more than double last
years. crop. MIR. Horne says the
Payette peopie are counting on hay-
ing their own factory built during

All interested parties arc advised

sportsmen who have been angling
for the denizens of the mountain

is now much more clear than at any

the finest sport of its kind, but if

electrical device by which a passing
train will leave its own signal or
report 1t is what is known as
the Union electric semaphore sig
nal, manufactured by the Union
Switch and Signal company. Each
signal is q ponderously substantial
affair operated by an electric ap-
pliance which is controlled by q
small motor placed within sta
tionary steel vault, weighing 1000
pounds and reminding one very
much of q large bank safe. This
vault is firmly established upon a
substantial foundation and en- the
top of the vault is bolted tubular
steel post about p feet high. On
the top of that post is the signal,
which, by means of color lights,
does the work. The car wheels
passing make the electric connec-
tions that turns the signal on the
top of the post. The signals will
be four miles apart along the road
and there are sufficient of them
now in the Nampa yards to cover

HOW THE TEAMS STAND.
Stole a Horse.

William Collins who stole a
horse from James Watkins at
Glenns Ferry while the latter was
attending lodge, was bound over to
the district court Tuesday at the
pf elirninary hearing, under $500
bonds. II is alleged that Collins
rode the horse TO Mountain Home,
arriving here last Thursday morn
ing at about O'Clock, and offering
it to James Tye for $50. Tye ac-
cepted but as the brand was rccog-
nized by Henry Little, would not
turn the money over until he had
investigated in the morning. Col
Inns then said he was going to
Boise, rode out short distance
and turned the horse loose. He
was later identified by Marshal
George at the Ferry, brought here,
and given into the custody of the
sheriff.
