HIS CHANCE TO BOOST"
Major Reed Will Manage All Twin
Falls North Side Sales.

Major Fred R. Reed has been ap-
pointed as general agent for the Twin
Falls North Side Investment Company,
Ltd. This company handles all the
lands of the Twin Falls North Side Land
and Water company, of which w. S.
Kuhn of Pittsburg is president. Three
townsites are under their care-Milner,
Jerome and Wendell.
If there's any one who can make 'em
sit up and take notice of Idaho, it is
Major Reed. Idaho loaks big and rich
and free when he begins to tell of how
the desert is being transformed. No
one else has done so much legitimate
boosting for irrigated Idaho, almost no
one else has dreamed such roseate
dredms which have come or are COM
ing true. The appointment is most
fitting and business-like recognition of
optimistic ability.
The Journal extends congratulations
to the Major, the company and the
land-hungry public.

FATAL AMBITION.
Desire for Education Wrecked Ru-
pert Girls Mind.

The case of Miss Effie Martin, OF
Rupert, who went insane from over
study, was the saddest ever witnessed
by Judge JL. Fuller who made out the
papers for her commitment to the
asylum at Blackfoot, Feb goth.
Her case was one of the sad tragedies
of life in which no one was Intentionally
to blame She was a lovely girl of
brilliant intellect whose ambition was
greater than her strength.
While attending school in Michigan
her health broke down and the family
physician ordered her to leave school
forever, but after regaining strength
she prevailed on her parents to be al
lowed to graduate, which she did, but
her health was broken beyond recovery.
The family moved to the Pacific coast
for time but medical authority said
she must have a dryer climate, so they
moved to Rupert and opened hotel.
Later they moved to their claim some
two miles out but all to no purpose.
At nineteen years of age her once
brilliant prospects are clouded by a
tragedy more to be dreaded than death
and through which no ray of light can

Court Will Decide Wheth-
er It's Farm or Mine.
Interesting Fight for Possession Of
Gravel Bar That May Produce
Crop Either of Nuggets
or Golden Grain.

A suit was begun Tuesday in the Sho-
shone court house, before u. S. Com
missioner Disney, to determine wheth-
a certain fractional quarter section of
land on the south bank of Snake river
in Twin Falls county is mineral land or
better adapted for agriculture.
J. H. Blass and C. w. Arthur are
miners who have been working claims
on the land for several years, and they
have brought action against the State
or Idaho to recover the land for mineral
purposes after it had been segregated
under the Carey Act and taken up as
as agricultural land by Newton and Bed
ford.
For more than 40 yeare, the gold of
Snake river has drawn the attention of
the miner. Millions in all have been
taken out, but probably only an mfr
itessimal part of what is still there.
The gold is mostly so exceeding fine and
of guilty but recommended leniency for
fioury that it is hard to save, though
the ground be ever so rich. Some of
the bars, however, show coarser gold,
which can be mined or dredged with
profit. Such place is the land in ques-
tion, according to the plaintiffs. The
ground has been worked for gold since
1894 at least. Charles Green and Tom
Gustin of Hagerman struck a pocket
there and made big money in 1896 and
1897. Later H. C. Bryant took out be-
tween one and two thousand dollars in
two seasons.
The land is about Il miles below Blue
Lakes. 1t is only little above the
river at low water, and during high
water is completely submerged, max
ing it a difficult proposition to work. L.
H. Sweetser, who at one time operated
two dredge boats on tbs river near by,
testified that these brought up gold in
paying quantities, but he did not be-
lieve the land in question would pay for
working. Other experts testified to the
same belief.
Assistant Attorney General Snow of
Boise appeared for the state, but soon
withdrew, leaving Newton and Bedford
as defendants. They are represented
by E. w. Senior of Salt Lake and S. 7.
Hamilton of Twin Falls. Stockslager
& Bowen of Haley represent the plain
tiffs.
While the case is hard fought, it has
some hghtsome features. The various
testimony showing that they are ere
claiming" under the Carey Act land
that is submerged part of the year. and
that the miners are mining" where
there is no gold to pay, it has been sug-
gested that some one file timber claim
also, there being no timber there, and
comphcate matters a-plenty.

BUZZ SAW GOT HIM.
Henry Reinimer Badly Cut And May
Lose A Hand.

Henry Reinimer, who was employed
in c. F. Borden's blacksmith shop in
this city since last August, sustained a
serious accident early Monday morning.
While using the electric saw in the
wagon shop his hand came in contact
with the rapidly revolving saw and was
fearfully mangled. One finger was
completely severed and two others
nearly cut off and a terrible cash was
cut across the hand just below the
knuckles.
DR.. Baugh was called upon to dress
the wounded members and hopes are
entertained that the hand and the two
badly wounded fingers may be saved.
Later, however, the Oddfellows of
Shoshone, of which worthy order Mr..
Reinfmer is member, acting upon DR..
Baugh's suggestion, decided to remove
him at once to the hospital at Boise,
and Tuesday night Mr.. Vredenburgh
accompanied him there where he can
receive such medical and surgical treat
ment as the case warrants.
This prompt action of the Shoshone
lodge l. o. o. F. for the relief of
worthy member in distress speaks well
for the local lodge and carries out into
practical application the fraternal pre-
cepts of the order.
Before leaving it was feared the two
wounded fingers would need amputation.
Mr. Reinimer has family living in
Shoshone who will receive the sympa-
thy and assistance from the lodge and
the citizens in general that they need.

A "Lone Chase" After a Coin.

Express Agent Chase last week lost
a much priced coin, half dollar dated
1859 worth several dollars premium be-
cause of. its rarity. He had carried the
coin loose in his pocket, and thought
iessly gave it out in change. He gave
up hope of seeing it again, but this
week it again fell into his hands, after
circulating around town for several
days Chase is mighty glad that some
one didn't send it away for Sears-Roe-
buck goods, in which case he wouldn't t
have seen it again.
