Although it is the great success
that The Girl From Out Yonder"
achieved last year that is the prin-
cipal reason Adelaide Thurston. the
brilliant young actress, will use II
again for the current season, vet
there are many things about the
play that appeal to her artistic tenn
permanent more than any play she
has ever had. She would very prob
ably have continued It, even had IL
not been such a good money-mak-
err. because Il gives her opportuni-
ties for a fuller display of certain
of her talents that in her previous
plays had only been suggested. She
is. IL possible, even more dainty and
winning than ever, especially as her
appearance as Flotsam makes her
little girl again, a part for which
she is particularly well fitted. She
enters into the spirit of the play
with all Of her old-time zest, and
carries her audiences with her from
the common place to startling eli
makes, and then drifts them back
easily to terra frma by the very
charm of her personality and her

A Mysterious Find.

National Forest Ranger, Tom
Mercer and a friend James Ehle
ran onto what they take to be
remains of a murdered man in
the Tonto Springs country last
week, and their report surely
juStiheS that SurmiSe.
They were engaged IN digging
posthOles for a corral when they
ran across two beer barrels tele-
scoped into each other, and in
which were all the bones OF a
man excepting the skull and for
this they are now searching the
country over. 1t had evidently
been dismembered to get it into
the place where found, and must
have been slowed away for two
or three years. In the barrel
with it an old mattress had been
stuffed The place of discovery
is one of the most lonely being
four miles from any habitation
in a place never frequented by
other than cowboys, and then
only when making their round
ups. 1t is about twenty miles
southwest from Prescott and six
miles from Skull valley. Nothing
in the way of clothing could be
found except d few pieces of an
old undershirt, overalls and mat
tress and these crumbled to dust
when exposed to the air. Who
the man was, or why he was
killed or whom by seem to be
shrouded in mystery for all time.

For the Information of
Voters!

Tuesday, November 3rd, is cleo
tion day. Those not familiar
with the makeup of the tickets
nominated by the different par
ties would do we'll to secure
sample ballot and look it over
before going to the polling place.
10 vote a straight ticket OF either
party an X in the space provided
Immediately under the name of
the party is all that is necessary,
but to vote mixed or a scratch
ed ticket will require ain X before
the name of each candidate voted
for.
AS the democratic party have
no candidate for Justice of the
Peace or Constable an X placed
at the top OF the ticket will mean
a vote for ali of the candida tes
of that party for the county Of
fees, but in order to register a
vote for the precinct officers
Justice of the Peace and Con
stable-it will be necessary to
place an X before the names of
the candidates for these offices on
the republican ticket or along
side of the name of the candidate
for Justice of the Peace on the In
dependent ticket. This is entirely
correct and legal according to
an opinion rendered by Attorney
Geueral E. S. Clark. Yet another
way would be to write the name
of the voters chOise in the blank
space provided on the Democratic
ticket.
In like manner, an X placed
at the head of the Republican
ticket will represent a vote tor
each candidate on that ticket,
including precinct officers, but to
record a vote for the office OF
Surveyor an X before the name
of the Democratic candidate for
that office, or the writing of a
name in the blank space provid-
ed, will be necessary.
These voting the Socialist,
Prohibition, Socialist-Labor or
the independence ticket will nee
essarily have oplace an X before
the name of each candidat te voted

the craters from which the lava origi-
mated are located along its northern
boundary at the foot of the granite
mountains. This great mass of molten
lava flowed towards the southwest un-
til 1t came against the foot hills of the
granite mountains forming the southern
boundary. This range of mountains al
so forms the rim of the great Sat Lake
basin. The lava beds Of Idaho were not
all formed atone time. After each sue
cessive overflow sufficient time elapsed
to allow the lava to cool and a soil to
be formed by disintegration and other
causes. This was afterwards covered
by another overflow and the process re-
peated until as many as a hundred lay
ers may be counted IN the walls of the
Snake river canyon, which is evidently a
great earthquake crack in the lava since
the last overflow ages and ages ago.

Vast Field In IRRIGATION.

The water supply of Idaho, irrigated
Idaho, is peculiar and vast. Irrigated
Idaho consists of a rectangular tract
of land about the size and shape of the
state of Kansas. The great Snake riv-
er enters this rectangle at its northeast
corner and making mighty sweep to-
wards the south and west then to the
west and north leaving the rectangle at
it's north west corner. At its most
southerly point breaches to within some
sixty miles of the Nevada line.
This portion of Idaho is the Snake riv-
er valley, the Snake river being the
only stream emerging from the section.
This great valley is bounded by some of
the loftiest mountains of the entire
Rocky Mountain system and it is to their
lofty peaks and deep scanned canyons
that Idaho owes its wonderful water
supply for irrigation.

The Geology Of Irrigated Idaho
Some of the Conditions that Make Idaho the Best Watered
and Most Attractive Of All the Western States

In a recent conversation with a rep
resentative of the Journal a travelling
man said: II travel for an Omaha drug
house and have made the west for the
past fifteen years. travel over Wy
oming, Montana, Idaho, Washington
and Oregon. From my fifteen years ex-
pelrience have decided that Idaho is
the best of the five states for these
reasons. 1t is the best watered, it has
the best climate, it is the best timbered
and it is the best mineralized
It is more particularly with irrigated
Idaho that the Journal is interested and
the statement of the gentleman regard
ing the climate and water supply seems
to be especially rich in promise for the
future

Southern Tributaries.

The south side of the valley is differ
ent. It's drainage is all overland and
its mountain canyons through which its
rivers flow open out into the great plain
of the Snake river in wide mouthed lev
ell valleys which are ideal spots for If
rigation projects.
One of the largest streams draining
this portion of the valley is the Salmon
river. This stream Erises in Ne
vada some distance below the state line
and flows nearly due north into the
Snake river about twenty miles below
Twin Falls city At the point where it
cuts through the mountains it enters a
great earthquake crack which forms
what is called box canyon" on ac-
count of its walls being so abrupt and
wall like.
This magnificent river has so far new
err been utilized for irrigation for the
reason that it lies in the bottom of this
box canyon. 1t was not until modern en-
gineers backed up by millions of capital
ready to exploit the undeveloped re-
sources of this great valley that any at
tempt has been made to subdue this
deep seated river and force it from its
time worn and rock walled canyon to
the fertile lands spreading out on the
plain above.
What is now known to the world as
the Twin Falls-Salmon river project is
to harness this wasted energy and trans
form the desert along its banks into
fruited fields.

use during the growing season. A lake
many miles long will be created, the
storage capacity being approximately
300, 600 acre feet for the available water
above the 14O-foot level.
Once out of the canyon and delivered
through the great tunnel, the water is
as tractable as a little child. The land
lies ideally for irrigation, with a gentle
slope, few hills or coulees, and one acre
of land picked at random anywhere on
the tract is practically as good as the
selection made by the expert" after
many weary miles of travel over the
tract. While the initial cost of the
dam and tunnel is abnormally high
approximately a million and a quarter
dollars-thesrest of the work will be
unusually easy.
A little study of the remarkable gorge
through which the Salmon river flows,
would be enough to daunt any but the
most daring and resourceful engineer.
But, once thoroughly understood, the
forces Of nature combine to make the
project aconspicuous success as tits now
planned.
Power from the Great Shoshone Falls
power plant is being utilized in the con
struction of the dam. A transmission
line carries the current 35 miles from
the Shoshone Falls; between 300 and
100 h. p. will be utilized in crushing the
.ock for the concrete, and in the other
operations construction.
