catchment for Rain Water.

On the eastern side of the rock of
Gibraltar there is a curious looking
white patch which recently led an
American tourist TO ask whether the
rock was being armor-plated. It is
really a catchment for rain water to
increase the reserve water on the
rock. The eatchment covers 10 acres.
It is made Of galvanized corrugated
iron fixed to piles driven deep into the
sandy slopes above the village OF
Catalan The water collected at the
foot of the catchment runs through
the rock into a tunnel 1900 feet long
and is delivered into reservoirs on
the western side. The yield TO each
inch OF rainfall is 100000 gallons.

Weiser-Two men are held here
on the charge of robbery. Four
residences were entered last week
by thieves. In each case the rob-
bers were driven away before they
secured anything of value. The
prisoners are suspicious characters.

the attempted assassination of Presi-

Bank. Shainwald is confident one of
the men fired the two shots at him.
The city is overrun with a gang of

Sheep Nearly Free From scabies.

Boise-Dr. George E. Noble, state
veterarian, says the spring inspec-
ton of sheep has been about COM
pleted and that in only two counties
has scabies been found. These coun-
ties are Cassia and Bannock. Most
OF these sheep have been dipped and
the remainder will be in short time.
DR.. Noble says the results of the in
spections over the state have been
as a whole highly satisfactory. He
says the sheep of Idaho are in a
much more healthy condition than
those of the other intermountain
states, according to reports received,
and the indications are that the re-
turns this season will be far in ex-
cess of any recent year.

Hartman has caused a loss to the
stockholders of the Union Pacific
railroad of over s40.OOO,OO0 by his
stock speculations with the funds
of that corporation were filed with
the board of directors late last week.
A formal demand was made that suit
be brought against him and the
other directors of the system who
have been parties to his speculations.
to recover the sums lost to the COM
pany through the illegal transae-
tons.
The action is preliminary to a suit
to be instituted by powerful group
of stockholders to force Nj Harri-
man to disgorge the profits he and
his associates have made in stock
market operations with Union Pacific
funds and through the unloading of
a large amount of securities of other
corporations upon the company's
treasury at prices far above their
present value. The action is de-
signed to forestall the plan of the
Union Pacific executive committee
to segregate these securities under
a holding company, which is now be-
ing formed for the purpose.
