Shoshone is going to have new in
dustry in the very near future that
PROMISES to become Of national impor-
tance.
This is the manufacture of the Sage
Brush Tonic preparations, put out by
strictly local company, from Idaho
products, and with the whole world as
its patrons.
The company had an informal open
ing of its fine local office in the Stock
growers block, Sunday last, when the
public was invited to call in and see
something of what had been done. The
office is in care of Ed Holden, who
looks after the detail work of the com
pany.
The preparation which leads in i'm
portance is the Sage Brush Hair Tonic,
made from the essential elements of the
western sage with certain other in
gradients to perfect it as the greatest
hair grower on the market. The In
dians of the northwest have used the
sage from time immemorial, as hair
tonic. and it was successful; but the
civilized chemist has turned out prod
uct infinitely superior to the original
Exhaustive tests, opinions Of medical
men who are versed in the effects Of
medicines, have proven it to be really
great preparation, and there is nothing
on the market that can approach it in
excellence.
To this hair tonic will be added other
as soon as they can be
perfected. The Sage Brush Shampoo
is only little behind the tonic in de-
velopment, and it is now about ready
for marketing. 1t combines the active
principles of the sage with certain
other elements, to make delightfully."-
effective preparation. the supplement
Of the tonic
A little history of the company may
be of interest. More than two years
ago Frank Wilmington and Tom Starrh
began investigation of the sage brush
for its tonic properties, following the
given by the wonderful sue
cess Of the Indian use of it for that

MUCH CASH ON HAND.
Bank Reports Show ShoshOne'BuSi
ness Conditions are Coed.

Attention is called to the statement
of the First National bank, published
elsewhere in this issue Of the Journal.
1t shows enough cash on hand to run
any ordinary town without trouble.
The cash on hand is largely in excess
of what it was at the time Of the last
statement, when the bank was keeping
only about the ordinary working mar
gin in its vaults. There has been no
trouble in keeping money on hand for
business necessities, though no money
has been wilfully shipped out of town
that could be kept in the vaults. Per
haps no town in the state suffered less
from the bankers panic that has pre-
vailed, than Shoshone. BY keeping
the money where it could be used, in
stead of encouraging its withdrawal
from the banks and hiding it away,
thus accentuating the panic, the town
has gone through the worst Of the
crisis with comparatively little evidence
that there ever was any disturbance
What trouble there has been here has
been mostly through the effect. or the
effect. on the big land com
panies by the general depression.

TRAIN LOADS OF MATERIAL.
Grant Company Rushing Its Great
North Side Canal.

W. c. Milligan foreman Of the Grant
construction company works here, says
that the company will employ from 500
to 900 men this winter on its Twin Falls
North Side canal work.
Several camps have been established
and work will be carried on at all these
points simultaneously. The company is
bringing in immense quantities of ma
chinery, consisting mostly of wheel
scrapers, elevating graders, dump wag-
ons to use with the elevators, and
plows. They have been doing some
heavy work up in Montana and have
steam shovels and other heavier ma
chinery there. Mr.. Milligan does not
believe that at any place viii they find
the cuts deep enough to warrant the
bringing in of the ponderOus steam
shovels. Some of the cuts might war
rant it so far as the depth goes but
they are not long enough to make it
economical. They also have traction
engines for their heavy hauling, though
he expects to use horse power for most
of that
The work in the rock cuts win be by
means of dump cars and a regular rail
road system, that being more effective
for them than to attempt to pile the
rock alongside by means of high der
ricks and swinging booms. The cars
viii be loaded by derricks, of course.
and then hauled away by steam.
The company viii put in electric light
plants, small dynamos operated by
steam or gasoline, for lighting the
camps. 1t will be easily possible to
run double shifts if it be found neces- /
sary to do so.
Whole train loads of supplies are be
ing purchased-hay, coal, grain, lum
ber. groceries-to run the company
through the winter. Work will be
carried on all winter in some branch of
the construction.
AS an Indication that good times are
returning to some degree, Mr.. Milligan
says that a large part of the heaviest I
machinery will be shipped back to Min
nesota where they have As miles of
heavy work for the Milwaukee. All .
work on railroads, or prac-
ticaly all, was stopped in the United
States at the time of the panic, but
the company now expects to operate
heavier than ever for the Milwaukee
route.

purpose. Mr. Starrh has spent months
of time since then in chemical research.
They have called in noted outside chem
lists, men of Importance in the outside
world and they have 50 perfected the
preparation that it can be absolutely
guaranteed. They have made up a
small quantity of the sage brush es-
sence, which will be sufficient for the
present needs. It is expected to serve
for more or less general introduction
of the remedy. The work has been
carried on on a small scale, but next
spring it is the intention to erect fine
factory here in Shoshone, of either
brick or stone, and manufacture in
wholesale quantities. 1t will employ
considerable force. The company has
made no effort to sell stock, but one
man, a banker, from another state,
was so impressed with the merits of
the preparations that he has applied
for $4,000 in stock. Another banker
wants 500 in stock, and demands are
coming in from all sides for a chance
to get in at the bottom. The company
will provide for its buildings, and then
go after the business of the world in a
way that VIII astonish those who have
not known of its possibilities.

CONTACT COPPER MINES.
Dan Ayers Says a Railroad Would
Make the Camp Famous.

Dan Ayers. a well known pioneer Of
this section of idaho, is just back from
a business trip to New York. He is
interested in some promising copper
mines at Contact, Nevada, which he
believes will one day prove to be great
mines. He says that railroad into
his part of the country would mean the
immediate opening OF the mines on a
large scale. It is one of the dreams Of
the Twin Falls electric railroad system
to build on into that section. through
the Twin Falls and the Salmon River
projects, put Mr.. Ayers believes that a
road will be built in from the south
even before the electric can get there
from this side. He and his three part
ners win spend the winter on the
developing it ready for min
ing on big scale.

Still Selling Land
Twin Falls COmpany's.
Advertising Campaign
Sells 1000 Acres
Per Week.

Water will be delivered on the first
30, 900 acres of the Twin Falls North
Side tract by the first of the year, and
the contractors viii be in line for the
SIT, 800 bonus for finishing the work by
that time, saps D. C. McWatters, vice
president Of the company, who was
Shoshone visitor this week.
The land is tributary to Miner, the
starting point for the electric road that
is to traverse the Twin Falls tract.
Miner is prosperous, with a population
ST near 1900 people, and a number Of
live stores. The bank has just moved
into its fine new stone building, two
stories high, one of the most attractive
of the kind in the state. The River
side Inn, the company hotel, is finished,
and the furniture is now being put in
A water system for the town is almost
completed. Two thousand trees were
set out by the company, which line all
the streets and promise abundant
shade.
A number Of wells are being drilled
along the line of the main canal to save
trouble and expense of hauling water
for the construction camps. Four have
already been drilled on the first tract
and not less than a dozen will be put in
along the whole line. Settlers are be-
ginning to figure on drilling wells, 50
placed that one well will furnish water
for three or four farms.
Land sales on the North Side tract
are holding up finely. Three weeks ago
1900 acres were sold in one week, tc a
party of buyers sent mostly from Chi
cago and vicinity. The average sales
of land are more than 1000 acres a
week. Regular parties are coming out
every two weeks.
The company has organized re-
markably effective advertising bureau
Offices are maintained in Chicago and
Pittsburg, which do business on a
wholesale scale. A lecturer is travel
ing through the Mississippi valley
states with a stereopticon outfit; and
the newspaper advertising the company
has done would look like the appropr;-
ations of a patent medicine firm. They
have got the results, however, particu-
larly from newspaper readers

COYOTES A-pLENTY.
State Hunter Brings In Bale of
New Scalps.

Henry Wells, one of the state hunt
ers, was in town this week with two
bales of coyote and other predatory
animal skins which he had taken while
out for the state. He has been oper-
ating several miles north of Shoshone
near the Marley Butte, with good sue
cess as the bale of skins shows. There
are IA coyotes, one bob cat and one
lynx, all of which are the deadly enc
mics of the sheep, pigs and chickens of
the farmer. He set his traps one night
where the railroad train on the branch
had killed some cattle and captured
three coyotes in the one night. Three
more were taken at the same place
later on. Mr.. Wells uses the steel
traps, sent out by the state, for all his
work, having had no success. so far as
he could learn, from the putting out of
poison. AS the weather grows colder,
with more snow, he expects to be able
to get more of the animals by the use
of poison.
The skins are sent in to the state
animal bureau at Boise; it being the
contract with the hunters that the
state pays a straight salary and then
takes all the proceeds, whether it be
one scalp or a hundred.

TRAVEL FALLING OFF.
PASSENGER Traffic Goes to the Bad
in a Hurry.

If the railroads did intend to skin the
whole country out of its ready money,
by receiving no checks or drafts in
payment for tickets or freight, they
are doing it at a considerable cost to
themselves right now. Casual esti-
mates that the passenger travel through
Shoshone has fallen off at least so per
cent, led to the inquiry among the
trainmen, who say that travel has
lost not less than 70 per cert of its
volume short time ago. Of course,
two months ago was the foodtime of
the whole passenger year and the trains
were so long and heavy that practically
no through train ever made a fair pre-
tense of keeping to the published time
card. But they can do it now The
trains have been shortened and the cars
that are running are not full. There
is no longer any demand for standing
room; passengers can have about as
many seats as the worst seat hog who
ever got outside of the pen could wish
1t is expected that the traffic will in
crease noticeably during the holidays,
but still viii not be what it promised
to be, two months ago

MONEY ROLLING IN.
New Game License Law Produces
Biz Revenues.

State Game Warden Stephens was in
town Wednesday on his way up to the
state fish hatchery at Hay Spur. He
is greatly pleased with the operation
of the new state law regarding game
licenses, saying that it has worked real
wonders this year in the protection of
game. Last year the net receipts of
the fish and game department, from
licenses sold, were about $50, ,000 A
commission of 10 per cent was paid on
all the liceses sold, making the total
amount of licenses bought about S22,
250. This year, with a 20 per cent
commission to the agents for selling
the licenses, the net receipts will be
between $26, 900 and $27, 900, net gain
of about 80 per cent, while the total
sale reaches to between S33, 600 and
S34, 600. The exact figures will not be
known until January, the reports for
each month being due at the state
Office on the 18th of the following
month. The total sales have been so
per cent higher than last year
And this gain does not represent a
greatly increased number of hunters or
fishers, either. While there is perhaps
a gain over the preceding year most
of the gain comes from the sale of
licenses to hunters who of other years
had not found it convenient to buy
licenses, and SO hunted without From
about 200 Indifferent license-sellers of
last year, there are now 400 who are
after every man who carries a gun.
The old commission would not attract
any one to handle the licenses. but now
there is a great demand for agencies.
Mr.. Stephens says that the state
looks forward to establishing one or
two additional fish hatcheries in other
parts of the state, so as to raise enough
fish to supply all the idaho streams.

DEER HUNTERS.
Promise of a Good Season for the
Local NimrOdS.

Bert Bowler and Alpha Kinsey went
out after deer Thanksgiving day, like
their great grandfaters in the days Of
Puritan New England. Down south
west of town they found the trail Of
five deer, which they followed for
several miles, until they came to where
the trail had been crossed by a band of
sheep. They are waiting with some
anxiety for the first good snow, when
they expect to try it again. Bowler in
particular is one of the best hunters in
this section, and the way he can travel
and find game would make the best
wild Indian envious. If there is any
game in the country he is the one who
finds it.
While but a few deer were seen in
this section last year a good many have
gone through already this fall They
come down out of the mountains to
the north and cross the railroad about
two miles west of town. on the Nab
butt and Milsaps farms, or therea-
bouts. 1t seems to have been a regu-
lar deer road from time immemOrial.
1t is expected that several deer will be
killed near here If there should come
good snow for hunting. Some of the
ieer stay down along the Snake river,
while some Of them cross over and go
in south to return in the spring.

to be found in a town of the size of
Shoshone; and yet there is a still small
er number who would be willing to
make their home in a place Of this size
where there were no churches or Sun
day schools. In other words, practi-
cally everyone recognizes the truths of
Christianity and the value of the organ
izations which are endeavoring to
spread those truths and incarnate them
in actual lives. But if we would have
our homes in a Christian community
and the young life of our homes sur
rounded by the best moral and religious
influences, is there not an unevadable
responsibility resting upon every one
who has the highest interests of the
community at heart? And this aside
from the individual relation to God and
the great truths of the Gospel.
We therefore feel justified in extend
ing an earnest invitation to all to CO.
operate in these special meetings.
Come and let us reason together.
Let US seek to find the truth and to
know Him who is 1.-The Way, the truth
and the Life, even Jesus Christ.
