Frank Adams, of Hepburn Grain Co.,
received a call from Colorado for 4 car
loads of Minidoka apples. He promptly
skinned the country, hitting only the
high places with his speedy mare and
secured two real apples. The general
opinion says its too early by two or sew
eral years.
Wheat is still coming in daily. Wag-
on load after wagon load. Both the
Watson warehouse and the Hepburn
Grain Co. are full to the limit, besides
loading cars every day. The wheat has
earnt high commissions from consignors
in that it is above the average in clean
illness, being also graded No. without
exceptions.
A meeting of the Southwest district
(Schodde SCHOOL, last Tuesday night
addressed by Mr.. Camp brought out
full house to form the future necessary
Water Users Association. This is one
of the best moves so far inaugerated
since the opening of the Project. The
last and highest degree of interest
should be taken in its success as it
marks the actual beginning of con-
centrauion of united strength for both

for all concerned. The sincere and
resident settler cannot attach too much
Importance to this move nor count any
amount of time used in strengthening

COMING TO THE FRONT
Wendell Building Rapidly in Bust
ness and Population

Wendell is beginning to take it:
place on the map of Lincoln county anC
. start is being made to assume the
position to which it is manifestly en-
titled.
Surrounded as it is by one of the
finest and richest tracts of farming
land in the Snake river valley .anc
located midway between Cooling and
Jerome with the celebrated Hagerman
valley tributary to its markets. There
is on good reason why Wendell should
not make prosperous and important
city
Almost every person who has cruised
the Twin Falls North Side project or
has gone over the entire tract in even
a superficial way volunteers the state
ment that the lands surrounding Wer-
dell, especially on the south, are re
markedly fine and fertile.
And this reputation of the lands
tributary Wendell has drawn to it a
citizenship that can not be excelled
anywhere. Men of experience and
business capacity with abundance of
means from Chicago. Berwyn and other
cities and communities in Illinois and
men from other states equally gifted
and endowed have selected land within
trade radius of Wendell and are
clearing, building and otherwise i'm
proving their holdings with a view of
making them permanent houses where
prosperity aud happiness may reign
supreme.
And Wendell is going some too. One
bank is already established and another
is going in at once. Two lumber yards
are on the ground and one or two more
will be put in soon. School starts this
week with goodly attendance which
will be added to for weeks to come.
The rails on the electric lines are laid
half way from Cooling and the time
will be short when the tracklayers
reach this place.
The sage brush desert is being
cleared and buildings are going up on
every hand and everything is being
done to Utilize the water from the
North Side canal that will be turned
on the first of next April.
General merchandise, hardware and
machinery, drugs, hotel, livery, black
smith shop, barber shop, feed store,
real estate and insurance, are already
established here besides the banks
and lumber establishments previously
mentioned
Then the finest water in this part
of the tract is struck at depth of
from Que hundred to three hundren feet
from the surface.
By the first of the year Wendell will
be supplied with electric lights and
water system.

en- CT the State today Chairman Jo-
seph S. Turner. of the commission,
vas the principal witness, and he took
the stand to refute the sensational
charges when have been made by ex-
convicts and others in connection
with the convict lease system of the
state. He declared that most of the
witnesses who had made these
charges against the Prison Commits
sion and other State officials. either
had been convicted of murder, burg
lary or other felonies. He called in
question the evidence of former en-
ployes of the commission, declaring
that they were disgruntled because OF
having been discharged.
Every member of the commission
was in court today ready to testify.
Gen. Clement A. Evans, was among
those summoned, but he did not give
evidence.
F. G. Lewis a former guard at the
Durham Coal & Coke Company, said
on the witness stand that 15-year-
old white boy had been given sixty
Iashes with sanded leather strap
! and was terribly mutilated. He de-
clared that the boy had been sent to
hospital and died two months later
c. H. Lewis, father of F. c. Lewis
gave evidence to the same effect, de-
claring that death on the hospital rec
ords was ascribed TO pneumonia.
r. s. Rice, a convict Jesse, said that
he had paid an extra salary to one
Of the State wardens. He testified
however, he had never notified the
commission.

denied that the commission knew

case they had the warden indicted

ANOTHER MOB
WAS EXPECTED
RuSSELLVILLE HEARS ONE Is
COMING, AND GETS READY TO
GIVE WARM TIME.

RUSSELLVILLE, KY, Aug. 5.-Re-
norts that a mob of 200 men were on
their way to Russellville last night
caused Sheriff Tom Rhea and his
DEPUTIES to awake the entire city for
the purpose of protection. The fact
that the messages notifying the Of
fetal of the coming of the mob and
not knowing whether they were black
or white, caused a state of terror 10
exist among the inhabitants. The
mob never showed up, however, and
the intense feeling has somewhat
subsidized tonight. There is no doubt,
though, that a mob was forming, but
as soon as they heard that all Rus
sellville was laying for them, II is
thought, they disbanded.
The negro. Rufus Browder, was in
dicted yesterday for the murder or
James Cunningham. His attorneys
made a motion for a change of venue.
The motion will be heard next Mon
day by Judge Sandidge.
Sheriff Rhea and Judge Sandidge
claim to have the situation well in
hand. Sheriff Rhea and his Deputies
have been on watch almost constantly
since the lynching, and every avail
able shotgun in-th etown is stored in
the office of the Sheriff ready for an
outbreak. The negroes, on the other
hand, are said to have been quietly
making preparations for any emery
ency that may arise.
The majoritity of the negro resi-
dents of the town are law-abiding and
neaceable, but out in the country, and
particularly in the section where the
murder occurred, the True Reformers
are holding frequent secret meetings
and many persons express the opin-
ion that a campaign Of assassination
aud intimidation is being planned By
the hand.

general strike. when employees Of the
mechanical departments Of the canad-
Pacific Railroad iron the Atlantic
Coast 10 the Pacific Coast, some 5000
in number. laid down their tools and
ouit work because Of the decision OF
the Cancellation Board, which was ap-
noipted under the Lemieux act OF the
Canadian Parliament, was not in &C
eordance with what the wanted. Not
merely in the number OF men involved
i the magnitude. Of tn walk-out, but
in the fact that it involves greater
financial interests and covers more
territory than any strike which has
heretofore been recorded in railway
circles. The total number Of men on
The western lines is $500. The to-
tai number en- the eastern lines is
500. The total number on the Ca

600. Approximate figures show that

Thus, if the strike lasts month, it

age daily pay for each man is some
thing like s4.
Rumors are current in some circles
that members of the operating depart

sible. Il is understood in some quar-
