HOMEDALE ITEMS

Homedale is planning big things now
At the republican primary election last
week, Martin Jensen, a well known
rancher and stockraiser, was elected a
delegate to the republican county conyen-
tion to meet at Silver City, the 9th, with
instructions to pull for the nomination of
John Mcdowell, of Homedale, for the
nomination of county commissioners.
John w. Mcdowell is well known pro-
gressive rancher of Homedale, and has
lived in Owyhee county for the past seven
years and well qualified for the office, and
this being the first modest request of the
people of Homedale for representation
in the political arena, we feel sure that
the people of Silver City will pull for us
just one little pull
Homedale has a notion of selling the
old school building, which is situated
about a mile and half outside the city
limits, and building larger and more
up-to-date building in Homedale.
Homedale people are planning to or
ganize all the farm lands between the up
per end of the Henderson Flat and the
Big Bend on Snake river, into an irriga-
ton district, then elect five directors,
bond the district and put dam in Snake
river at or near where the Dewey r. R.
crosses the said river, and then install
pumping plants as needed along the river
between there and the Big Bend, 80 miles
below. Then we win have the power to
pump the water, and the land to irrigate,
and the people to engineer the project
from start to finish. Don't kick or knock
and things will move. The surveys are
made, and estimates are nearly ready
now.
j. Mussell has had his ferry at Home
dale leased the past year to d. M. Cox,
and has been living at Caldwell, but win
soon be back to take charge of the ferry.

The machinery for the mill has not
yet arrived which will delay it's COM
pletion for some time. In the mean
time work in the mine is being pushed
vigorously; the connection between 2
and 8 levels has been made in a good
body of ore. They are now making an
upraise in ore between l and 2 levels,
and extending both north and south
drifts on the 30O-foot level. The ground
is being prepared for coal bin near
the mill, so that upon the arrival of the
delayed machinery there will be but to
put it in place, toot the whistle and tuln
on the power.

owyhee Republican Convention

The representative republicans of the
several precincts of Owyhee county,
elected as delegates to the convention,
met at the courthouse at IL O'Clock yes
terday, and were called to order by
Hon. G. NJ. Hays, chairman of the coun-
ty central committee. DR.. T. ID. Farrer

Village Blacksmith.

v. s. Curtis has force at work on
Village Blacksmith, and expects to con-
tinue the work with much vigor in the
future, as he has succeeded in getting
some capitalists of Portland, Or, inter
ested in this property. There is no
more promising mining property in the
corntry than the Village Blacksmith
If managed properly, and We look for it
to be one of the leading mines in this
district when properly financed and the
development work put in charge of a
practical miner. The ore is rich, it is a
true fissure vein, has good tunnel site
and when the vein is opened at the
depth of two or three hundred feet we
are satisfied that it will exceed the high
est expectations of the owners.

Some excellent ore is being taken out
of the Ruth and other properties on
War Eagle Mt. The Hidden Treasure,
which is an extension on the south of
the Village Blacksmith property, owned
by G. Conway, Ascuenega Bros. and
others, is being developed and some
very rich ore has been found in which
the gold can be very easily seen.

ENTERPRISE

A large number of pleasure seekers are
now sojourning at the springs.
Mrs. j. w. Griffith and children have
returned from weeks visit with friends
in Boise and Nampa.
Mrs. o. Shirley, who hasb been very sick
for some time, is reported better.
Quite number of men have been in
our midst lately hunting land.
J.R. Griswold, of Nampa, visited at
]. w. Grifith's few days this week.
The report that Berry Givens was killed
in the horse race at Nampa, is still circu-
lated. The truth of the matter is, that
Berry easily won the race, was unhurt,
and received his money, the easiest mon
ey he ever earned in bis life, SO he says.
F. E. Tracy bought an acre of ground
from D. L. Williams for which be paid
one-hundred dollars.
Quite an important irrigation meeting
was held at the school house on the after
noon Of the 20th inst. g. F. Yanke was
elected chairman, and the crowd was ad-
dressed by Messrs Tracey and Faurot Of
Homedale. Tracey related briefly the
efforts made to secure water for irrigation
for the country lying between Guftey and
Homedale. The first effort toward secur-
ing district system was made four years
ago, when Tracey and ]. w. Griffith went
to Boise and interviewed d. w. Ross,
who advised them what to do, but on
account of capitalists having charge of
most of the territory, nothing could be
done until at the present time. The citi-
zens of Homedale and Henderson Flat
have signed the necessary papers andpar-
ties have been securing the signatures of
the people of this section of the country.
A meeting is called to be held at Wilson
on Saturday, the 29th inst, when all ar
rangements will be completed.

SCHOOL AGAINl

On Monday, August 81, the Silver City
school will open with Mr. Bradfeld, Miss
Adams, and Miss Carrie Hastings as
teachers. 1t is earnestly hoped that all
pupils win be ready to start promptly at
the beginning and thus secure the bene-
fits of the full terms teaching.
"Of all time in child's life, says one
prominent educator, that spent in school
is the most precious" If only teachers,
parents, and children, themselves, could
realize the truth of this statement, how
precious, indeed, might those school-days
be made! When teachers are secured
who look upon the material gains of their
profession as dross compared to the worth
of the young lives intrusted their train
ing; when parents look upon their chill
dren as sacred trust to which they owe
their fondest care; when children are
trained to look upon school as the place
nearest and dearest to the home in pre-
pairing them for life; then, and only then
are conditions most propitious for sue
cessful school. But very seldom are these
conditions met with. Too often are teach
ers lacking in sympathy with the young
minds struggling with their tasks; too
often do parents not only fail to care for
their children 8 culture, but they render
that of the school less efficient by their
unmerciful criticisms of those connected
with the school; and too often do chill
dren look upon school as a place of
drudgery, and resort to cheating and de-
ception to avoid the study necessary to
attain excellence.
One wise and considerate parent was
heard to say, 81 never point out fault
in any of our teachers to one of my. chill
dren; for when children are allowed to
discuss the real or imaginary failings of
their teachers they lose confidence in
them and interest in their school work. :"
1t has been noticed that children who are
blessed with such parents are seldom lack
ing in courtesy and good breeding, and
seldom fail to become good scholars.
o, that every one in the glad morning
of life might be led to see the golden op-
portunities which the school affords; then
would we hear fewer in life's noontide or
evening say with remorse, 80, those
school-days If could only have them
back againl''

juice" took trip in the hills, and from
the report he brought back to town, and
the looks of his countenance, must have
encountered brigade of bad men. He
proceeded to swear out warrant for the
arrest of a 4tJohn Doe, +" whom he claim
ed was the commander of the assaulting
force and that the said John Doe had
caressed him over the head with 12-inch
double acting field gun. The deputy
sheriff got busy, found John Doe, prompt
ly arrested him, and when the case was
called in court it was found that the facts
in the case had been somewhat exagger-
ated After the booze-fghter had liq-
Undated the costs, the case was dismissed.
On last Sunday afternoon an encoun
ter took place between Eugene
Walker, p. l., tin horn, gambler, ETC.,
and John Cavanos, miner, in the Jap
restaurant, which resulted in Cavanos
getting pretty badly carved mp, some of
the wounds being of serious nature
that may prove fatal Walker made an
attempt to get away by hiding in the
willows along Jordan creek but was seen
by some one passing and was soon land
ed 10 Jail. The preliminary xanlina-
tion will be held on next Saturday
when it is supposed that Cavanos will
be sufficiently recovered to attend.
We have been unable to learn the
cause of the trouble but it is reported
that both the participants were some
what under the influence of liquor aud
they may not know exac ly what they
we're quarreling about. AS it is, Walker
is up against pretty hard proposition
and came very near infiicting fatal
wounds upon mis- victim.
Nampa has the honor of having or
ganized the first Bryan and Kern club
in the state. The club starts with
good membership and much enthusiasm,
aud will conduct an active campaign for
the national ticket. They do not take
any stand in favor of either faction in
the disrupted democracy in the state of
Idaho, which we think is good preci-
dent to be followed by other Bryan and
Kern clubs. The democratic party in
Idaho this year is undoubtedly of the
feminine gender, and we have learned
from personal experience that when
two females are in disagreement, it is
best to take no hand in the controversy
until they have adjusted their differ
ences, aud then smile on the victor.
The reclamation offices are to be
moved from Boise to Nampa where they
will be permanently located; the city
donated the grounds necessary for the
offices and other buildings that the gov
ernment will erect as soon as possible.
The monthly payroll to the regular en-
ployees is over $1,000. The change is
being made so as to be nearer the work
that is under way.

There is no question but what "Un-
Gle John is giving the people of
Brunswick some pretty wholesome
and some rather unwholesome
food for thought. AS yet he is pre-
serving rather too much of the kid

approval--bu but his work is young yet
and we are fondly indulging the hope
that he will go at the situation pretty
soon with bare fists and skull"
The field is an inviting one and Of
fers for man of his talent, his tren-
CLANCY and his wide range of thought

ploitation We want him to nail the
things that need correcting here in
Brunswick. We want him to point his
finger directly at the things that day
by day serve to make Brunswick n

nominated for governor and Cox had
been nominated by his democratic
constituents for the state senate,
Major Cooper journeyed to Bristol
for the purpose of getting out an in
dependent candidate against him.
These facts viii serve to glorify
the recent pact of peace. 1t shows
how far Governor Patterson had to
stoop, how much Governor Cox had
to forgive, and matches an infinite
condesce nsion with an infite humility.
"of course there are details. When
Govern Cox was summoned to
Nashville some week ago it was not
simply fer the purpose Of falling
upon somebody's neck or OF having
somebody fall on his. There are hon
CTS ard dignites and offices and sub
stantial rewards to be distributed
things hlat go to heal the hurt that
b NOR f els'-and these things were
talked of and considered.
Bat no doubt the main thing was
that Governor Cox agreed TO Join
himself with Ban Murray, Dune Coop
er and Spared Hill and aid them in
their battle for the holy cause OF 10
cal self-goyernment."
