A deplorable and unfortunate acci
dent, which may result in the death Of
q young white man, o. III. May, line
man in the employ Of the Consolidated
Company, occurred yesr 1rday after
noon shortly before three o'clock at
the corner of Seventh and Chestnut
streets. when the victim was horribly
burned on the lower limbs by strong
current of electricity while at work on
the top of a pole at that corner.
In some manner Mr. May, while en-
gagged in his work, came in contact
with live wire, charged with q Cur-
rent of 1900 alternating "olts. He
hung suspended in the air, high above
the ground for several minutes with
this fearful current burning into his
flesh. His terrible pradic2ment was
seen by a passer by and it was ncCes-
sary to telephone the EOWer house to
shut down their engiucs before any
attempt could be made to help the un-
fortunate man.
1t was found nee 4s%tty also to call
out the hook and ladle" company and
ed who had arrived on the scene, sue
ceeded with great difficulty in extCi-
eating Mr.. May from the tangle Of
wires and lowering him to the ground,
he all the time experiencing the most
excruHating agonieS.
He was hurriedly borne to the James
Walker Memorial hospital and all that
medical knowledge can do is being
used to save the injured man. Both
of the legs, below the knee are terribly
burned, and the mans condition, it
was stated from the hospital at one
! o'clock this morning seems to be prob
ably critical. although it is considered
likely that he will survive for day
or two Even if he could by any
chance recover he would undoubteG' g
lose both of his legs below the knee.
Mr. May is young man and h3
lives with his wife and child on Red
Cross street next to the corner Of
Ninth street
To give aid to the injured man all
the current for lights and fans was
terday afternoon.
The May accident recalls that which
occurred some time ago to young Mr..
Melvin Horne who was injured in the
same manner while at work on pole
at Front and Dock streets. AS re-
suit of that accident Mr.. Horne lost
one of his arms.

editor of The Irrigation Age made

south of the Oregon Short Line
railway from Mountain Home, Ida
no, and took in several of the new
ly developed valleys along the Snake
river.
While en- the return trip the par
ty stopped for time at the ranch OF
Mr.. George P. Hall, one of the most
successful fruit growers in the en-
tire west. Mr.. Hall has a ranch
extending up and down the Snake
on the north side about twenty
miles south of Mountain Home on
which he has 5000 peach and ap-
ricot trees. These cover an area
of about IS acres, and owing to the
1 fact that his crop is harvested and
marketed ahead of any other SINH
4 lar crop in that state, the top price
| is secured for same and his income
from this particular tract is exceed
ingly large.
Mr.. Hall boxes and ships about
10000 cases of fruit each year
The lowest price per case is 90
cents, these being sold to and dis
tributed by peddlers. Eighty cents
is the price received per case where
the fruit is delivered to the railway
station 20 miles away and his retail
price in small lots is 81 per case
1t will be readily seen from the
above figures that Mr.. Halls in
come from these IS acres is very
large On one acre what is known
as the champion peaches are pro-
duced. A yield of 1900 cases are
obtained from 220 trees At the
lowest price named,- 90 cents pei
case, very fair idea of his income
