Branch Train to Make Schedule
Time Hereafter.

No more ties on. the branch passenger
Quick time from here TO Ketchum anc
HALEY!
Passengers are classed higher than
even sheep or cattle!
This is the substance of an order said
to have been issued for the guidance of
the Wood River branch train service
hereafter. When there are ties tounload,
einders to fill into the hollow places in
the trick. or any of that kind of traffic
interruptions, the offending materials
are to be hauled up in special train, and
the passenger train will make its regular
schedule, without the hours and hours
of weary delay along the road, waiting
for the stuff to be dumped off.
This is good news for hundreds of
travellers. The Wood River branch has
a heavy passenger traffic, likewise it is
a long stretch of road with many needs.
The delays necessary in holding the
regular passenger for the unloading Of
track building materials have brought
forth protests by the scores, by the
by the bushels and by the
barrel. Apparently these protests have
fallen on tender ears, for the better
practice of giving an exclusive passen-
ger service is to be inaugu-ated.

SALMON RIVER DAM.
Preparatory Work on Big Dam
Making Good Headway.

F. c. Horn, constructing engineer
on the Salmon River dam south of
Twin Falls, was in town Saturday, on
his way down to the works. The con-
struction, or rather the preparation for
the actual dam work, is going on with
large force of men. A steam road
locomotive, Best 110-h. p. outfit with
four cars, is now hauling material to
the dam, ready to be used on the per-
manent work. The train will haul As
tons at one load. So far, machinery
and general supplies for the camp have
made up most of the hauling; but the
big locomotive will soon be set to haul
ing cement and such materials.
The power line from Shoshone Falls
is completed to the dam, and the cleo
trio current is now available for use in
the camp. The rock crushers, cranes.
and other machinery on the dam will
require a large amount of power-up-
wards of 300 horse power, it has been
estimated. Two shifts of men will be
worked on the dam, night and day, to
get the work along as rapidly as possi-
bic. A small army will be employed in /
all the various branches of the work
Mr.. Horn, who was for years con-
nected with the government reclama-
tion service, designed and built the
Minidoka dam and a number of great
works through the west
He is rated as one of the very best con-
engineers in the country.
The Salmon kiver dam, however, 210
'eet high, will be one of his greatest

city highways. He states that no
better help could be obtained than that
put up by the six prisoners under his
care. Of late they have been grading
the walk around the court house block
preparatory to laying the cement side

allowing prisoners to work out their
expenses. at least in a measure, is a
good one. So long as they are not
overworked or misused they are much
better off than they would be in con-
fnement and the public is r lieved of
part of the expense of their maiaten-

Slick Bros. Make Fine
Record in Handling
Rock Work
Diversion Dam on MaIad Completed
and Rest Of Work well Along
on Kings Hill Project.

w. B. Slick, of the Slick Brothers
Construction Co., who are doing the
work on the Glenn's Ferry or the Kings
Hill irrigation project, as it is now
known, was in town the first of the
week, and gives some interesting facts
regarding the project.
The company now has 200 men at
work, and wants 100 more. They pay
81. 80 day for common labor, and $4 90
day for carpenters. Fifty teams are
employed, and the amount of excava-
ton is very large per capita for the
working force. During July they moved
73, 900 cubic yards of material of which
nearly 20, OO0 yards was solid rock The
Slick company has made an enviable
record for handling rock, they having
come close to the highest record ever
made in their contract on the Idaho Ir-
rigation Company canal, in the heavy
rock cut near the headgates of the
canal.
The diversion dam on the M2lad is
practically finished, and the gates can
be closed within a week. The dam is
fine structure, built n the latest and
most approved style of construction,
and should stand indefinitely. The
Malad being decidedly tempestuous
stream, requires the most careful build
ing-which has been given it.
The steel bridge span across Snake
river, that carries the syphon tube with
the water for the project, is about COM
pleted, and the steel crew of 80 men is
laying the syphon in place. The water
is taken out of the Malad river, mile
or two above It's mouth, and carried
across the Snake river under a head of
140 feet, to the lands on the south side
of the Snake. All the land to be irri-
gated is in Twin Falls and Owyhee I
counties, mostly the latter.
Because of the small area, its excel
ent land and the high cost of construct /
ing the project, the state land board
authorized the King Hill company to
make the highest charge for water of
any project in the state-s65 an acre.
But even at this high price, it is ex-
pected that the land will find a ready
sale. There is only about $4,000 acres
under this system.

ShOshOne'S Water System Improve
mentS Nearly Completed.

Work Is progressing rapidly on the
city water system, so that within a
comparatively few days it will be
brought up to the planned state of eff
cheney. In place of the wooden intake
pipe, 500 feet long, which formely
brought the water to the pump house,
a shorter cut has been made, only a
little over 200 feet long This cut,
however, is y feet deep, and part Of
the way is through rock, so that it has
been long. expensive task. 1t WI
carry a concrete water conduit, 1Sx20
inches, to bring the water from the
river. This conduit is large enough for
man to crawl through. in case of stop
page of any kind inside the tube The
water in the river is to be raised five
feet by building of a concrete dam.
This will create good settling basin,
and will back the water up the stream
" quite distance, above the height
OF the rifles. 1t will create also fine
skating and ice pond for winter use.
The dam will have two gates, which can
be opened at any time. to flush out the
basin if there is any quantity Of sett-
lings there. The water is taken from
the top Of this five foot dam, for the
water system. 1t flows to a smaller
settling basin or sump. at the pump
house, where there will be about six
feet depth for settling. This basin can
be thoroughly cleaned as it fills up.
With the duplicate pump. which is to
be installed at once, the system will be
able to deliver 1000 gallons a minute,
The pump now in use is
Of the positive feed, reciproeating plunge
type, while the other will be of the cen
.rifugal type. They are about equally
effective, when conditions are right.
As either pump will supply more water
han the city uses, there should be no
shortage of water at any time.

appearance as an elocutionist before a
Shoshone audience last Sunday evening
at the Baptist church. Many iattering
remarks have been made concerning
the event and the Baptists of Shoshone
have exercised commendable foresight
in securing her services in future Sun
day evening services. Miss Garlock is
a graduate of the School of Expression
of the University of Nebraska a Lincoln
and received very fiattering notices in

East Idaho Press Club Outing
Montpelier People Show the Newspaper Men Merry Tme
With Scenery Chicken Raspberries Fried Trout and
Boating and Bathing on Beautiful Bear Lake

The August meeting of the Eastern
Idaho Press Club met the 10 and II a
Montpelier and aside from transactine
a lot of business of a general nature Of
great benefit to the members had the
/ time of its life in the way of entertain
ment by the people of Bear Lake coun-
+ ty. The visitors arrived in Montpelier
/ Saturday evening and Sunday morning
and were at once informed by the pres
ident of the club that all money in the
pockets of the visiting editors was
counterfeit, so far as its ability to pur-
chase anything in Bear Lake county
during the meeting of the club was
concerned. That was a pretty good
joke and such one as an editor can
fully appreciate, especially when it is
on himself. The club members, after
a splendid breakfast at the Burgoyne
Hotel, were loaded into carriages and
started towards Paris, the county seat
of Bear Lake county and located ten
miles south of Montpelier. The road
to Paris is through as fine a section of
farm land as can be found in Idaho and
as it is an old settled section the farms
are well improved and fine groves of
shade trees and orchards line the en-
tire road.
Arriving at Paris the visitors were
escorted to Fielding academy This is
beautiful school building costing $40, 900
and to which an addition costing as
much more is now being added The
academy stands upon a commanding
site above the town and from its dome
the visitors beheld stretching far away
to the mountains and the beautiful
Bear Lake one of the most enchanting
fairy like valleys to be found in the
Idaho mountains From the academy
the visitors proceeded to the tabernacle
where they were entertained for an
hour by the choir in sacred concert.
This tabernacle is one of the beautiful
buildings of the state and its erection
and maintenance reflects great credit
upon the citizens of the valley. From
the tabernacle the visitors proceeded to
the court house lawn where an old
fashioned country chicken dinner was
in waiting and for the next hour the
writer has no distinct recollection of
what else happened After this mag
nificent feast the party was again load
ed into carriages and conveyances and
taken 10 miles. to Fish Haven, a sum-
mer resort on the shores of Bear Lake.
The drive from Paris to Bear Lake
IS most wonderful revelation TO strang-
ars of the richness and beauty and
grandeur of this famous Bear Lake
valley. So abundant and so large are
.he shade trees lining both sides of the
-oad for the 10 miles and so numerous ;
and so prosperous looking were the (

4 several gallons of such red raspberries
as can only be grown in Bear Lake
valley. The rest of the afternoon was
spent in boating and in the evening
launches took the party three miles uE
the lake to Camp Glencoe where most
sumptuous camping accommodations
had been prepared for the nights rest
The next morning the party again
took to the launches and were taken to
; Fish Haven for another dose of thos e
delicious trout and berries There ms Y
have been some other delightful items
on the table but the trout and berries
payed the star parts on the bill of
fare. The forenoon was spent, after
a business meeting, in boating and
bathing, the entire works being at the
command of the editors. After eating
noon luncheon of the famous Joe
Stock brand samples of which have
been described above, the party again
took to carriages for return trip to
Montpelier, which place was reached
about p. m. and the Hotel Burgoyne
greeted the party with a table laden
for swell banquet After the ban
quet the ladies of Montpelier tendered
a reception to the visitors at the home
of Mrs Hunter and those who wished
to dance were invited after the recep-
tion to the Montpelier dance pavilion.
This pavilion is perhaps the largest
structure of its kind in the state, hav-
ing a floor space available for dancing
of 1O0x60 feet Those who cared for
the exercise danced until the train left
for Pocatello at in the morning. Dur
ing all of these delightful wanderings
from Montpelier to Glencoe and return
the Montpelier brass band was ever
present and ready to entertain the Wis
it )rs and to assist in any manner or
way possible to add to their pleasure.
All of which is duly appreciated.
The Journal readers may conclude
from the frequent descriptions of the
entertainments rendered this press
club that the chief end of the members
is to each three months descend upon
some innocent and inoffensive settle
ment and devour its substance in riot
Gus living. But such is not the case;
that is merely an incident of the occa-
sion. Nothing occurs in the state
which so widely advertises its resources
as these meetings. They are held at
various localities and each locality has
its own peculiar attractions which are
with pleasure and the editors
render value received in the many
words of praise they write for their

Interest Being Manifested
in Republican Local
Situation
Quite Large List of Candidates
for Political HOnOrS in
Lincoln County.

While it is more than a month until
the primaries for the county republican
convention, considerable interest is al
ready being shown in the progress Of
political affairs. There are enough
candidates out for most of the offices,
to make it look ike a good fight for
the various honors.
So far, there have been no applicants
announced for the position of state
senator. Fred w. Gooding was the
first choice of a number of men who
are anxious to have the very best ticket
possible, but he refuses to allow his
name to be considered. His personal
interests, and his heavy work as pres
ident of the National Woolgrowers'
Association, make it impossible for
him to give it time For representa-
tive, the name of Col J. M. Hannaford
of Rupert has been mentioned. No
others have come to the notice of the
Journal.
For sheriff there will be a likely field
of candidates. j. W. Wheeler, the
present assessor, is out for the nomina-
tion, as is also T. A. Mckee, living west
of Shoshone. Mr.. Wheeler has been
in the county a number of years, and
has held the Offices Of commissioner and
assessor. as we'll as member of the
state mountain wagon road commission,
by appointment of the governor. Mr..
Mckee is a later conner to this section,
and has never held public Office here.
Frank Mlllsaps has been asked by num-
erous friends to make the race, but
has as yet given no defnate answer.
The Minidoka project is understood to
have a candidate in the person of Mr..
Nelson. who is said to be a very cap
able man.
The assessorship is not attracting
a ~ great interest. The foolish state
provision that makes it
for the assessor 40 succeed
himself, takes away some of the zest
for this office, and there is hardly
: lough pay in it to make it a good pay
ng job. E. T. Barton of Shoshone may
} a candidate, though he has not yet
publicly announced himself
For county attorney there are at
east two candidates Frank T. Disney,
ne present incumbent, and H. A
Thomas. Mr. Disney has held the
'ffice for three terms. and given good
ervice. Mr. Thomas is a new conner
o Idaho, but possesses good legal abil-
tv, interchangeable industry, and
friendly spirit that will make him
trong candidate for the nomination.
1t is understood that I. H. Ines will
,e candidate for denomination for
from his district, but
leither of the other commissioners,
iross of Shoshone or Curran of Hager-
nan, will want to try it again. So far
10 ather names have been suggested.
John Koets is out for denomination
or county surveyor
For years it has been understood
hat c. w. Wernicke for treasurer and
Irs. Burnside for county superinten-
lent, were invincible; and so it goes
his year. So far as known, there
will be no dissenting vote to either of
hese nominations.

The Salem Special has the follow
ing:
"A letter received from a Mr..
Luther Giddings. Mitchell, S. D.,
asks what the probability would be
for starting up a manufacturing
plant for denatureted alcohol at this
point. The commercial union wrote
giving good reasons for locating 1t
here. II a plant was in operation
here, it would make a good market
for corn and potatoes, which are
used In the manufacture of alcohol.
He was undecided whether to come
here or 90 to Parker. We trust that
he will look Salem over before making
a decision.
Mr.. Giddlngs if he warts to eogags
in the denatured alcohol business
ought not feel that lie has got to 20

prise. Just how much of a plant
he desires to start is not known, but
we are incline to think that he can
find sufficient encouragement in this
city to start his enterprise.

H. w. Thayer and little son have
arrived in the city from Broken Ar
row, Oklahoma, and will make this
city his home, and the rest of the
family are expected in a few days.
Mr.. Thayer has rented a house in the
city and also some land out in the
country and will conduct a farm for
the present, expecting to eventually
make this his home. The Broken Ar
row Ledger makes the following
comment on the departure of Mr..
Thayer, who has disposed of his hold
ings in that place:
wv. H. Thayer and little son, By
ron, left Saturday evening for their
new home at Mitchell, South Dakota.
Mrs. Thayer and Burton will go
some time this week. We regret
very much to lose this splendid fam
lily, but wish to say that South Dako-
ia v had finer people land within
her borders than the Thayer family
and we hope they may be healthy,
happy and prosperous"

CLOSED CONCERT COURSE
Minneapolis Symphony Q%uartette
Gave the Last Number on
the Concert Course
Minneapolis Syn:
hony Quartette

Between the revival meetings at
the Methodist church and the demo-
cratic meeting Monday night the
patronage of the lecture and concert
course was cut down to some extent,
although it was the closing number
on the course. The Minneapolis
Symphony Quartette, with Adelaide
Pierce, contralto, as the soloist was
secured to fill out one company that
failed to appear in its proper time.
The company is made up of Helm
rich Hoevel first violine, Alfred Spell
second v%ioline, Olaf Halls, viola and
Carl Fischer, cello. The q%uartette
confined its selections strictly to
classical numbers, selected from the
works of Haydn, Beethoven, Tschai-
kowsky Ind Grieg, and they render
ed them with rare still playing with
the most beautiful and artistic ex-
preston. Something of a lighter
character, however, would have re-
celyed a greater appreciation from the
audience. Mr.. Fischer gave an ex-
PLANTATION Of the numbers as the quar-
tette played. Miss Pierce sang twice
on the program and her work was
we'll received. Mr.. Hoevel played
a violin solo with fine skill, and Mr..
Fischer, the %cellist, also gave a solo
that was very much enjoyed.
h course, which consisted of nine
numbers, was of a satisfactory char
acter and received a fine patronage.
The greater portion of the course has
already beer secured for next season
and the management promises some
thing even better along all lines of
literary and concert work.
