WILL ATTEND SUMMER SCHOOL
Several Lincoln County Teachers
Will 90 to pOcateIIe.

Quite number of the young schoo
teachers OF Lincoln county are expect
I ing to attend the summer school. a
Pocatello, which begins the 10th O.
July. 1t will continue for six weeks
and is especially aimed to fill in the
needs of those who have not finished &
collegiate education. Following the
summer school will come the regular
institute work, of week, taking up
teaching methods and school matters
rather than general education.
1t is expected that there will be one
large central institute held at Potatello
this year as last, several of the south
east counties combining to make it
more effective than the small county
institutes. The school law provides
that there shall be one week of institute
work during the school year, and that
the teachers shall attend, with one
weeks pay from their districts while
attending the Institutes. 1t has been
the practice to hold the Institutes in
the vacation wherever possible, rather
than interrupt the school work for
week during the school year. AS the
districts are legally held for one week s
pay for the teachers, Mrs Burnside,
county superintendent in Lincoln county,
will present to the school directors the
TO pay this extra week
salary for attendance during ihe sum
mer vacation. and not break up the
school work during the study season.
Other superintendants will do the same,
all through this part of the state. The
directors of Shoshone district have al
ready agreed to this plan
The great success Of the combined
at Pocatello, where it was
possible to get higher grade instructors
and lecturers. and still save money by
forces, has len to the favor
ng of the same plan for this year.
PocateIlo, being the most central point, /

for the use Of the institute.
las heen agreed upon as the most feas-
bic place for the central institute.
Should the various school directors
efuse to grant the weeks extra pay
or the teachers, Mrs. Burnside will be
bliged to set a week during the school
ear, for institute work, and then the
eachers will draw their pay without a
egal hitch-even though it be necessary
or the cause of consecutive education
or the pupils have to suffer thereby.

REPUBLICAN CONVENTIONS.
Rupert and ShOshcne Divide HOnOrS
for County Conventions.

Rupert will enterta n the republican
convention to nominate delegates to
the state convention, August -
shoshone will have the regular
county nominating convention, Sept
ember q.
This is the principal action taken at
the meeting of the Republican County
Committee meeting, held here in
Shoshone Wednesday.
1t was first proposed to hold only one
set of primaries and one convention;
but since it would be necessary to make
this in August so as to reach the State
convention at Boise, September l. it
was felt that it would make too long a
campaign for the county ticket so the
two conventions will be held. The first
primaries will be held August II; for
the county nominating convention, Sep
tember q.
Rupert was given the delegate con-
vention by unanimous vote, it being
argued that the matters they most
want remedied are such as should come
before the state convention, and they
will be in position to largely dictate the
policy of the delegates to Boise Sew
eral of the outside committeeman wrote
or spoke for Shoshone for the county
convention. so the two places were
selected without word of difference.
Some important changes were made
in the lumber of delegates to the con-
ventions. Gooding will have dele
gates instead of 3; Hillsdale, the new
Miner tract, will have A: jerome 3; (
Wendell ?; and Alberta is given in
place of l. These changes were made
on the strength of the representations (
made by the committeeman from these
new or fast-growing precincts. This
will give the convention a total of 81
delegates, instead of 3S.

Utter Protest.

The following letter, written on the
Wood River branch train, July y, hard
ly needs any Interpretation; it is almost
painfelly explicit:
We the undersigned passengers on
the north bound train between Sho-
shone and Ketchum, Idaho, hereby rep
resent as follows:
That we are this day enroute from
Shoshone to different points on the
Wood River Branch railroad on board
mixed train. That we left Shoshone
on schedule time. II o'clock, a. M, and
at the time of the writing of this pro-
test We are only miles from Shoshone
and it is now 20, p. m.
There are on this train two sick in
fants who are being taken to the Wood
River mountains in the hope of regain
ing their health. The day is unbear-
ably warm and these sick infants, as
well as all the passengers, are suffering
greatly on account OF the heat and are
being injured by the delay in reaching
their several destinations.
The reason for the delay mentioned
is on account of the fact that this train
is distributing railroad ties along the
road and on account of which this train
has been forced to run at slow rate
of speed and at many points stop alto
gether
That the Wood River country is a
health resort and frequently there are
sick persons on the train which runs on
this road.
Therefore We protest against this
practice of the railroad company of un-
loading their railroad ties at intervals
between stations on this road, and we
request that said train

Judge Walters, of Shoshone, judg
Of the Fourth Judicial district of Idaho
has this year adjudicated the legal af
fairs of more Idaho territory than an,
other two, or even three, judges. HI
holds the record of having presided owe
all the courts held in seven counties
the FIVE of his own district, Lincoln
Blaine, Elmore, Twin Falls and Cassia
and also in Oneida and Bear Lake, as
well as sitting for a week for Judge
Bryan in Canyon county.
In this time, he has heard and decided
two rape cases, two OF murder, two Of
assault with intent to commit murder,
three grand larceny, number of small
Ter criminal cases, and about 90 civil
cases. There are six of the longest
court cases now before him, for his
summer vacation.
He has been holding court almost
continuously since the first of March.
there having been practically no inter
mission between his own FIVE county
courts and the terms held for Judge
Bulge in the southeast district He
hasn't gone fishing, or visited his neigh
bors, or taken time to talk politics or
weather, but stayed at his work, be-
cause there was so much of it, and he
didn't want to get behind.
The Judge has established a reputa-
tion for promptness that his successor,
if he ever has one, will find it hard to
live up to. When a case gets into
count, he has acted on the theory that
some one was interested in that case,
else it would never have been brought
to court; and he has made it a practice
to give his decisions as quickly as the
case could be fairly investigated. A
short time ago, one case came to him
from outside, wherein he gave the at
torneys ten days to file their briefs.
The attorneys were unusually prompt,
and both briefs were before him and a
decision rendered inside the stipulated
Time for the briefs to appear. 1t would
nave been possible to hold these papers
al summer, but he didn't do it. One
If the surprised attorneys wanted to
Know if the Judge hadn't rendered his
lecision ahead of the briefs-he wasn't /
lsed to that kind of promptness. But /
he case was decided so plainly on the
merits as brought out in the briefs,
hat all are satisfied.
There are some cases which call for
more than legal ability for
he sixth sense of Judgment. One of
hese is now pending from Cassia coun-
v 1t relates to the waters Of Raft
liver. There are some old water rights
here, dating back to 1871, for the land
) valuable There is one tributary,
limo creek, emptying into Raft river
bove these farms. There are some {

good farms, with later water rights or
Almo creek. A suit was started ir
1889 to decree the water rights. When
Judge Stockslager went on the bench
he found this old suit still numbering
the court records. He urged it on to a
settlement. and gave a decree. This
decree in its original form has been lost;
also the stenographer' notes. There
is a copy of the decree, which would
give the people of Almo creek all the
water, for a separate district; but there
has been a pen interlineation in the
copy of the decree, wherein it would
give the waters TO Raft river up to June
18th of each year; in other words, the
later comers on Almo creek could not
begin to take water from the stream.
except the overflow, until the prior
rights of the whole of Raft river We're
supplied. Judge Stockslager says he
did not write the pen interlineation. and
that it is a forgery. AS some valuable
water rights depend on this old decree,
and as the Judge doesn't know whether
the purported decree is genuine, it
brings up point that is not in the law
books.
One of the most important cases in
southern Idaho for number of years
is still before the court for settlement
this simmer. When the Twin Falls
tract was surveyed by the government.
years ago, the survey was so poorly
marked that many of the corners could
ont be found When the Twin Falls
company took over the land it had to be

ate. Later Investigations, however, !
disclosed some of the old government

Of the old surveys, they are accepted

% have the lines conform to this in
stead of the company survey. 1t would
entail an expense to the settlers, in the
moving OF fences, the breaking up of
ZONES. orchards, and the re-establish-
nent of all their line improvements, of
possibly even half million dollars; but
till, the question is not so much on
What it viii cost, as on what will stand
y law. The case is to be argued in
within the next week or 10
ays.
Judge Walters has worked hard on
he bench and he has deserved the
God words that come to him from ali
yer the district.

The Greatest Show on Earth vii
visit Shoshone.
The whole world ransacked for the
benefit of Lincoln county, but then
Lincoln county is becoming acquainted
with big things"
Barnum & Bailey's greatest of al
shows is coming to Shoshone, Friday
August 7th, for an afternoon perform
ance, while en- route to Boise and the
Pacific caost. This will be their only
stop for several hundred miles, and
they find it necessary to make the stop
for feed and water, as most of the big
circuses have been doing. Since they
are to be here anyhow, they decided to
to give performance, rather than lose
the day entirely.
Frank J. O'Donnell, the advance press
representative, was in town yesterday
morning In about three hours, he
stirred up more commotion than most
men could in a week. He secured the
use of the race track, from the city; he
arranged for wagon loads of bread, bar
rels of milk, whole beeves, hay, grain,
everything needed for their army Of
thousand men, and acres of horses, ele-
plants, camels, wild and curious beasts,
and everything that eats or drinks or
absorbs food. AS are result, the circus
will show here in all its splendor.
Special trains are to be run, and the
circus viii be billed in all the towns
within 100 miles of here. 1t will be the
biggest advertising Shoshone has had
for years.
The Commercial Club is to be congra-
tulated on its work in securing this
really great attraction. AL. Cottle, 0.
J. Brennan, c. F. Borden and others of
the Cub, dropped their work and spent
their time in giving the representa-
tive what help they could, and as re-
suit the show will be here with all its
wonders. 1t should draw crowd of
several thousand people to town; more
than have ever visited Shoshone at any
one time IN its history.
And the best of it all is, everybody I
gets more than his moneys worth.
One of these big shows is revelation
of industry, of achievement. of interest. |
AS a business organization, such show
has the biggest business house, army,
mine or factory beaten by miles. 1t is
the nearest clock-work of anything
human. The Barnum & Bailey show at
one time packed all its acres of tents,
loaded its five train loads of animals,
people, and material in So minutes.
People who can do that of work are
not dissipaters, or crooks; they must
keep straight, and under a more than
army discipline. 1t is clean, decent,
entertaining, to follow their
whole stay in town, from the unloading
of the first train to the last smoke as
they go over the hill to the next city.
Save up your money and come to Sho-
shone for the big show.
