The men behind the undertaking are
able to build and equip the line without
financial aid from any source, and to do
it speedily. Power to operate the line
will come from the magnificent falls
here.
While information at hand affords no
confirmation for the supposition, the
line will undoubtedly extend through
out the irrigated tract under the
American Falls Canal, terminating.
probably, at Blackfoot or Idaho Falls.
Settlement on the Carey tract under
the American Falls Canal will be at an
unprecedented rate next year, greater,
in fact, than in all the years since the
canal has been building. With settle
and more rapid means of transporta-
tion, and an electric road would pay
from the first day of its operation.
Land values will be greatly stimulated
and every entryman will be benefited.
The news that the line is to be built is
the best the Press has yet been able to
give its readers. If permission to do so
can be obtained. and more complete de-
I tails secured readers of this paper will
be given the benefit of them in a short
/ time.
In any event. the Press is sanguine
that an electric road extending from
American Falls to or beyond Aberdeen
will be in operation before cold wealth
er next year interferes with its con-
struction.

Opportunity.

Here in southeastern Idaho we hear
every day of men who are making COM
Portable fortunes through the sale of
land. and it is wonderful how they
started. how they acquired the prop
erty the sale of which to eager buyers
now places them on Easy street
1t was by grasping opportunities that
are presented to every man and woman
in the state. 1t was by taking hold
and hanging on, through obstacles.
perverse circumstances, discourage
ment. They perhaps did not realize
when they filed on their Carey act land
or took up homestead, how valuable
the land would some day be. We of a
later day have the benefit of their ex-
perience. and know that in no instance
has the price of land deprecated. but
on the other hand in every case has in
creased often marvelously, always
considerably.
The moral is obvious: Get hold of a
piece of land Ii makes no difference
whether il is sagebrlish land or an inn
proved farm; it will incre ase in value.
Twin Falls settlers two years ago filed
on land under the big canal down there
and paid $50 per acre. Later they
sold out at the rate of Sl0o per acre.
That is making money faster than
working for it.
Get land. You may need it for a
home some day. You may die and
leave it to your widow or children. 1t
is better than an insurance policy.
Get land. --Pocatello Tribune.

Good Aberdeen Oats.

Henry Blair, who lives near Aber-
deem, is entitled to front seat among
the farmers of the tract. During the
growing season he put in the DAYS in
working the farm and the nights in
-herding the cattle off his fields. Not
withstanding his almost sleepless vigi-
lance his oats fattened a good many
cattle for the market He had in oats
about 100 acres. Cattle damaged them
materially, and water for them could
not be secured until they were about
ready. for the harvest. Yet he thresh-
ed 2o97 bushels Under the circum-
stances the yield is an exceptionally
good one
q. W. Thayer and Abram Shaw OF
Aberdeen, threshed their oats the Br~;
of the week. From less than 50 acres
they secured 2.2s2 bushels. machine
measure, which are several pounds
overweight. Frank Ems. who did the
threshing, stated that he never saw
better oats. AS an evidence Of their
quality it is said that the machine
turned out eight bushels per minute.

MAN LOSES LIFE
IN CITY JAIL FIRE
Fire Originated Inside the Jail
From Causes Unknown.
Heroic Efforts Made to Save Doomed
Man as Soon as Fire Was Discov-
cred Death Probably Came
Before Sound OF Alarm.

y The most horrible thing that ever
happened in American Falls was the
burning 10 death of an intoxicated
stranger in the village Jail Wednesday
night. Where heSeame from or who
may be left TO wonder where he is
or what his fate was, is not known.
He simply said his name was T. II.
Stoil, and that be was a wanderer.
But be is dead. probably by his own
act, in attempting TO burn the Jail in
the delirious belief that he could escape.
When the burning structure Was pull
cd from over him he lay on the bed, his
features blaekened and distorted by
the fierce heat. his legs burned off, his
hands over his head as if holding the
cover in a futile effort TO protect him
self from suffocation.
Stories of earelessnes in searching
him were current. but the Press made
careful inquiry and believes them to
have been unfounded. But he had
matches in his coat pocket when the
body was recovered, they having been
protected by heavy covers. These may
have been passed to him through a
broken window by someone now afraid
10 speak. or he may have secreted them
before the lights were turned on and

A Successful Sagebrush Rake.

H. 7, Hinrichs and E. Nash. of Aber-
deem who are engaged in clearing sage
brush from the Carey land, recently
had a rake built which is proving a
greater success than anything that has
been used in this part of the country.
The rake has high wheels, teeth of inch
and quarter steel. with a drop-axle.
which enables the teeth to be set well
into the ground without having a
length that makes them springy or
yielding. The strength of the teeth is
such that it uproots any brush which
may have been left uncut, and leaves
the land absolutely free of brush. The
rake was built, according to their
directions, by j. S. Abercrombie. The
gentlemen have just finished clearing
$50 acres for Messrs. Ritter and Hough-
ton, of Salt Lake, on which the brush
was seven feet high.

NEW WATER WHEEL
Designed to Raise Water for Irixat-
ing Purposes.

w. e. Dougherty, who until two
weeks ago was employed on the Hotel
Remington, has secured letters of pat
ent on new water wheel which is de-
signed for the lifting of water for irri-
cation. 1t consists Of frame carry
ing fan wheels on each side, geared
TO an endless belt of buckets, operating
on square shaft. The paddles of the
fan wheels are concave, affording the
greatest possible resistance to the cur
rent of the water. On the model
shown in Mr.. Dougherty's yard there
are twenty buckets. Two are sub
merged always at the same time and
two at the top are always in the posi-
ton of dumping, so that really the
wheel is required TO raise but seven
loaded buckets at one time.
Mr.. Dougherty estimates that he can
construct a larger wheel for about 1900.
which will have capacity in current
running two miles an hour to lift one
thousand gallons of water every minute.
The device is compact and very simple,
the valuable and patentable parts be-
ing the concave blades of the wheels.
the hinged boxes forming an endless
belt, and device whereby the fan
wheels may be raised or lowered with
out disturbing the position of the main
frame -PocateIlo Tribune

the search began. II is evident, how
ever, that the usual precautions were
taken to see that he possessed nothing
with which he could iniure himself or
others.
Those at the fire worked like demons.
Some Imagined they could hear frantic
appeals for help. and spurred on by
this imagination, superhuman efforts
were put forth. But reason opposes
the idea that he was alive when the
fire was discovered. or that his death
was a horribly painful one. He proba-
bly, become stupeiied by inhaling smoke
and passed painlessly to his Maker long
before the flames began to devour his
body,
T. II. Stoil, stranger who was con.
fined in the village Jail Wednesday, was
cremated by fire presumably started
by himeseif. Little is known of the un-
fortunate man. He came here about the
first of the month from Odgen. and
worked for week on the Dry Farm.
Tuesday he drew his money and came
to town. Wednesday evening he became
intoxicated and noisy and Marshal Bar

nard arrested him and placed him in
Jail. Stoll was inclined to be unruly
and Marshal Barnard required assistance
in making the arrest. When safely in
jail Stoli said 10 the marshal: "You
can I search nae, but this man IT. C..
Ray can" Mr.. Ray then went through
his pockets, taking away a pocket
knife and a handful of matches, search
ing. as he thought, all his pockets.
After the body was rescued, however, a
handful of matches were found i'm one of
Stoll's coat pockets.
The arrest was made about eight
O'Clock. after Stoll had become involved
in an altercation and been slightly in
jured. About 1920 Charles Hartly, who
lives near the jail, went after pail Of
water. He saw light in the Jail that
appeared to be caused by a fire. Hasti-
iyketting couple of pals Of water he
APPROACHED the jail and saw flames
creeping from the inside, under the door
He'dashed the water against the bottom
of the door and sounded an alarm. With
in a few minutes about fifty people had
gathered. but the flames were then
bursting through the windows and show
ing at other places. and the unfortunate
inmate had probably been dead for some
time. A wire cable was fastened to the
building which was turned over. disclos-
ing Stoll lying on the Jail bed. with
the covers drawn over his face. His
legs were burned away but his body be-
ing protected by the covering was only
scorched. The efforts of those first to
arrive was TO break the door in and re-
lease Stoll. 1t required several minutes
to do this. When the door finally gave
away flames burst forth so that no one
could enter. A coroner's jury was i'm
panneled about 10 o'clock and an inquest
began. About il was adjourned until
5. and every fact bearing upon the fire
inquired into. The Jail was small build
