Machinery on the Way
TO Start Factory.
Carload of Bottles Already here.
Building Ready for Installation
.--WilI Employ Much Help
Within Short Time.
A carload Of bottles.

A carload of bottles.
Seyenty-five thousand bottles for hair
rejuvenator.
$4,000 already spentin the Sage Brush
Tonic factory.
And a reputation already established
that fades all the other hah growers to
a dark dun shade.
These are some Of the pertinent facts
for the Sage Brush Tonic factory and
business, located here in Shoshone.
The factory is almost ready for the
installment of the machinery, which
was shipped from Detroit the first of
the week. 1t viii be here sometime
this month, and it is expected that the
manufacture will be in full swing not
later than the middle of July at the very
latest. Altogether, the factory will
employ about twenty workers, picking
the brush and carrying on the other
operations of the business. These will
be employed the year around, and the
force largely added to, if the sale
reaches the right figures, quickly en-
ough. From the great and urgent
demands from all over the country, the
Sage Brush business promises to make
even a Carey land opening look like
Quaker meeting within a year.
The carload of bottles for the finished
product arrived this week, and are being
stored away in the basement of the
postoffice, waiting for the bottling oper-
ati0ns to begin.

Council Passes Ordinance
for Good Walks.
Movement is Popular With Board
and People AIike---Start the
Good Work as Soon as
It Can Be Done.

Shoshone is to have pavement side
walks.
Miles Of them, and as good as gold
and as dry as powder.
Just as quick as they can be had.
An ordinance was brought up for its
third reading, at the council meeting
Tuesday night, calling for cement side
walks IN place of the no sidewalks or
the few board walks that are now laid
along the streets of the city. The ordi-
nance was passed without a dissenting
vote, all the board being present except
Wernicke.
A twelve-foot walk is provided for
Rail Street, north and south of the
track; ten-foot on the street leading
south to the court house, for one block
and thereafter six foot walk and four
foot walks for the east and west streets
through the residence portion of the
town.
The board will hold another meeting,
Monday night, to perfect the accom-
panying grade ordinance which will fix
the elevations of the streets, and show
where the walks shall be put.
Figures have been received from con-
tractors, offering to do the cement work
for fourteen cents per square foot.
This is probably about as low figure
as can be secured anywhere.
Several thousand dollars in all would
be required to lay the walks all over
town, but the wonderful gain in appear
ance and in value will make it a great
investment.

HELD A DUEL CONVENTION.
Two Sets of Delegates to National
Democratic Convention.

Chaplain Gurney's prayer for peace,
in opening the democratic state
convention at Twin Falls, fellupon deaf
human ears, for it was the stormiest
convention in the history of Idaho, if
not in the whole northwest.
The final outcome was two conven-
tions, going on at the same time; the
Regulars, represented by Judge Perky
of Boise as chairman, and the Anti
Mormons, with Glen McKinlay of Twin
Falls in the chair. The big fight was
over the organization of the conven-
tion, and the acceptance of delegates.
Several contests were on in the various
counties, two delegations being sent,
each claiming the right to the name of
Democrat. The seating of these con
testing delegations of course determined
the control of the convention.
AS has been quite freely predicted,
the Dubois faction was the stronger
numerically. They selected as delegates
Fred T. Dubois, Henry Heitfelt, L. H.
jackson. Timothy Regan, Henry L.
Day, and w. L. Eccles. The boilers
elected twelve delegates, each to have
one-half of a vote in the Denver con-
vention if they shall be seated at all.
Their delegates are:
w. B. Mcfarland, Coeur d'Alenes;
George Evle, Nez Perce; J. T. Pierce,
Ada; S. H. Lamberton, Elmore; D. L.
Evans, Oneida; j. D. Milsaps, Fremont;
John C. Rice, Canyon; j. H. Hawley,
Ada; Ben Gray, Blaine; J. H. Garrett,
Elmore; w. H. Carriday, Idaho; J. F.
Nugent, Ada.
Owing to the unprecedented rush at
the Salmon River land opening, which
was held in Twin Falls the same week,
the arrangements for the convention
were not completed until late in the
day of the convention. All was finally
put in order, however, and the conven-
ton work proceeded.
The platform adopted was very COM
prehensive, declaring for Bryan, for
income and inheritance tax, eight hour
day, bank deposit guaranty law, cleo
tion of Senators by popular vote and
several other important questions. 1t
also too up a number of purely state
matters, like the primary law, the
initiative and referendum, and anti-pass
laws for officials.

GEN. FUNSTON IN IDAHO.
Noted Warrior Buys Lands and
Lots in Irrigated Belt.

Brigadier General Frederick Funston
attended the land drawing at Twin Falls
this week and took a chance at the
land. He failed to secure a favorable
number from his own drawing but pur-
chased an eighty acre tract near Hollis
ter. He also invested in a business lot
in Gooding. General Funston expressed
himself as greatly pleased with the out
look for southern Idaho and indicated
his faith in the country by his purchases.
Edward T. Barber, of the Journal, and
General Funston were boyhood friends
in the years of long ago in Kansas be-
fore the General dreamed of Cuba or
Aguinaldo or a Generalship in the army.
But years of honors and glory have in
no way affected the honest frank-na-
tured nature of the man as he was
known when a boy. This was their
first meeting for thirteen years and
during that time General Funston has
written his name high up on the tablets
of fame and endeared himself to the
American people by always making
good under the most trying conditions
and circumstances. He has inherited
the qualities which have made him great
from a sturdy stock on both his fathers
and mothers families and the journal
editor is proud to know him as per-
sonal friend and to feel that the Cen
eral has more than justly earned the
high position he occupies in the army
as well as in the hearts of the Ameri-
can public.

Washington. ID. c.. Jan. 3.-The
danger that turks In the milk supply
of the country, and the alarming pos
sibilities of the spread Of consump-
tion by milk and butter, are pointed
out in a special pamphlet Just Issued
by Dr. Il. &. Schroeder, a speciallSt
in the bureau of animal Industry
DIR. Schroeder recently has com
pleted a series of experiments and
tests with tuberculosis cows, and he
calls his report The Unsuspected
but Dangerously tuberculosis Cow
The treatise deals principally with
cows that are infected with the
dread White Plague, but whose ply
sical appearance gives no ind d.cauon
of disease.
At the outset the doctor advises
that all dairy cattle should be sub
jected to the tuberculine test at least
once a year and that every animal
that shows any sign of disease should
be destroyed Immediately. He adds
that every tuberculous COW Is dan
gerous to health the moment she be-
comes infected.
He adds that when an animal is
first affected there is no apparent
danger, but 1t is only a short time
till the beast is scattering tubercle
bacilli everywhere, I'm the pasture, In

The first day of the year, a drag

Says STEEL TRUSSES
| ARE THE ONLY
KIND
FL PdSO Man Says Convention
Should Have UnbrOken
Floor Space.

Captain \. b. Holt, representing
the El Paso Bridge * Iron company,
who is in the city counseling with
OF business men having i'm charge
the construction of the proposed AL
buquerque armory and convention
hall said today that under no cir
cumstances should the new building
be constructed with wooden trusses.
He gave dollars and cents" and
numerous reasons as his argument
favoring the use of iron instead of
wood
He said that the steel trusses
would cost less and would be more
satisfactory. He said that his COM
pany could furnish steel trusses that
will span the 100-foot space, which
will be the width of the hall, and
will be secure, without a single sup
port to break into the floor space.
In case of a fire, a wooden truss
would be the first part of the build
ing to give away, letting the roof
drop in. As to the quickness with
which steel trusses for the armory
could be furnished, MIR. Holt said
that his company could furnish them
within six weeks after receiving the
order. The steel companies are not
crowded with work now and all or
ders are being given prompt atten-
ton.
The Ell Paso Bridge Il Iron COM
pany Is the company which furnish
ed figures on the cost OF the pro-
posed Barelas bridge across the Rio
Grande river, for which the county
commissioners are advertising for
bids.

The past year was a very success
ful one as far as the production Of
wool and lambs was concerned but
during the closing three months the
sheep interests were hit quite hard
by the stringency in the money mar
ket The stringency came at a time
when the lamb crop was ready to be
sold to the feeders. Some of the
deals were completed, all but the
payment of the money, when the
stringency came. However. the sheep
interests were upon such a firm fin-
ancial foundation that no really dam
aging effects resulted In many in
stances the sheepmen financed the
feeders.
