Already there has been considerable

Every afternoon the streets are filled
with people who are looking around
for the purpose Of selecting presents
for their relatives and friends and the
number will increase rapidly during
the next few days. There are always
those, however, who from habit more
than anything else, delay their holi-

they will get busy when they see their

The pair was seen twice before be-

ACTION OF STATE LAND BOARD
King Hill Company Granted Right
to Make Maximum Charge.

The State Land board at its meeting
last Wednesday authorized the turning
over to the settlers of the canals of the
North Side Twin Falls company which
cover the Miner segregation of 80, 900
acres. On all Carey Act projects the
law provides that when certain condi-
tions have been met the settlers must
organize an operating company and
take over the canals. Each settler be-
comes a stockholder in the operating
company, holding one share for each
acre of his land.
At the same meeting the State Land
board also granted the King Hill com
pany the right to make a certain maxi
mum charge of S65 per acre for water
rights under their project. 1t was
shown by the company that but 10000
acres of the segregation of 10000
acres could be covered and that the de-
crease in cost of construction was only
20 per cent. This is especially fine
land for fruit culture, owing to its alti-
tude and protection by the Snake River
CANYON. The company will not ask for
an opening until they have water actu-
allv on the land ready for delivery.

GOOD SHOOTING
Excellent Scores Made by
ShOShOne'S Gun Club.
The Record Broken and Other Per-
fOrmanceS Of Merit by Indi-
yidual Top NOtcherS.

Some excellent shooting is being done
by the Shoshone Gun Club, as the fol-
lowing scores from the Saturday shoot
will show:
First round: twenty-five birds, un-
known angles. MiIlsaps, IT; Purdum,
%; Todd, %; Nicely, 21. Average, 20a4.
Second round Millsaps, "a; Purdum,
%; Nicely, 10; R. Haddock, 21; Hail
Horne, Is. Average, q.
To appreciate the scores, it may be
said that prior to last fall, when the
Clue was formed, only three members,
the two Haddocks and S. E.'Todd, had
ever fired at a blue rock target; and
Tood's experience was confined to one
round at Haley, some years ago. All
the others are corners to the game,
though most of them have records be-
hind them in the field.
Millsaps, who Saturday broke the
club record by getting "A out of %, is
about the most chagrined man in town,
despite'his record. He made "a straight,
and then fell down on the last, on an
easy straight-away bird that he says he
ought to have got with club. This
and other instances show that the skill
is there, enough to develop squad OF
top-notch shots. but that the hard,
painstaking care of the professional
shot who has a record to maintain is
still to be cultivated. This is coming
to all the shooters, and it is believed
that by fall it will be very common
thing for clean scores to be made at
every shoot than which no one can ever
hope to do better
The club is looking forward to a
meeting with some of the other gun
clubs of the state, and it is an even
guess that Shoshone will not be near
the lowest in any kind of a tournament.

Desert Claims Being Taken.

Cassius S. Andrews, a civil engineer
at Grants camp, took desert claim of
100 acres southeast of Jerome, Wednes-
day. before U. S. Commissioner Disney.
This land is within the irrigated area of
the North Side, but was not included in.
the segregation, being then considered
too high to get water from the ditch
1t makes seven or eight filing of this
kind that have been made in that local
ity since the beginning of the year. The
two Grants took half section each and
are Improving them, using water from
a well fer the first seasons supply. No
doubt other claims will be taken later.

NEW PUMP FOR G0ODING.
Water Works System TO be Installed
in the Thriving Town.

F. C. Pierce has ordered heavy
duty pump head and cylinder, with all
the necessary attachments, for the new
deep well being put down for the town
of Gooding. 1t will have capacity of
70 gallons minute, enough to supply
over 100, 900 gallons day, or for pop
ulation of 2OOO or 5000 for domestic
purposes alone, without irrigation.
The Shoshone water tower has a capac-
ity of 50, 600 gallons, and this will sup
plv Shoshone for four or five days,
when there is no lawn sprinkling. The
Gooding well will probably be about
200 feet deep-that is the depth of the
other wells in that vicinity-and is ex-
pected to be able to supply the pump
to its full capacity. A gasoline engine
will he used for pumping until an cleo
tric current is available.

SHOSH0NE TENNIS CLUB.
Elect Officers and Prepare to Meet
All Corners.

The Shoshone Tennis club met Mon
day and elected officers for the year as
follows: w. Hail Horne, pres: Ross Had
dock, secretary treasurer. F. c. Pierce
had been in command of the thriving
organization, but he gladly relinquished
the honor and the duties to the new
management.
The tennis club has some of the most
enthusiastic and able men with the
racquet that are to be found in the
state. Last year they issued sweep
ing challenge to meet all comers, and
had tournaments about arranged for
the PLAYERS of Boise and Pocatello, but
the other fellows apparently got "cold
feet and evaded the match. 1t is con-
fidently believed that Shoshone would
give the very best of them all they
could do to even make match
draw
There will be no change in the gen
eral terms of the challenges sent out
last year. as the club is ready to take
on all comers. Several new members
are to be taken in, and the club
grounds improved so as to encourage
play.

year in the study of the Bayview course
on England, Scotland and Ireland, his
torical and literary studies on that most
interesting part of the world. For the
coming year, they will take the same
course on Italy and Greece, the work
being both historical and artistic. 1t
promises to be an unusually interesting
year.
