You can't get along without our

from the rear frightened the team
and in an attempt to stop their mad
rush, one of the lines broke. The

was rendered unconscious. The vic

Houses Blown Up.

Three dwellings built by James l..
Gallagher, former president OF the
San Francisco board Of supervisors
and chief witness for the prosecution
in the graft cases were wrecked on
the night of May 26th by dynamite
at Oakland. No one was injured but
the explosion smashed many windows
in nearby houses.
It is intimated that the police have
information which may lead to the
exposure of plot of surprising
character, laid against Gallagher by
his enemies. The explosion was the
second attack, Gallagher's residence
being wrecked by dynamite April ~.
The police have the description OF
a suspect whom they expect to cap
ture with little trouble. Frank NC
vauhan, Waterman, who was SIT
ting in a tool shed when the explo-
sion occurred, made an inspection 10
minutes before the explosion and
says nothing was suspicious. Gala
CHER had deal pending to sell the
houses for $4,000.

About Twin Falls.

The Wood River News-Miner has
this important comment to make
about the town of Twin Falls:
The line at the delivery window in
Twin Falls at mail time extends out
to the sidewalk and down the street
half ablock.
Three years ago there was not a
sign of habitation where the city Of
Twin Falls stands today. It was n
quiet uninteresting waste, covered
with heavy sage and totally unin-
habitable.
Here Is city today, the county
seat of county, with $500 popula-
ton, with 700 school children, with
churches and commercial club and
reading rooms. 1t has a 100000
hotel, a $4,000 school house and is
building another which will cost
quite twice that sum. It's streets are
graded, and set out in splendid trees,
and it has liberal number of mag
nificent parks.
1t has daily train and an cleo
trio line Is now building from Twin
Falls south to Nevada. Surrounding

munity of thrifty, industrious, and
frugal farmers. the cream of the
country, who have been attracted
from all quarters of the country to
the magnificent development which
is going on at this period of the coun-
try's development.
In the mining experience of many
western places, the rapidity of set
Element has doubtless equalled this.
Not so in the agricultural realm,
This Twin Falls country stands at
the head Of the list for cities of
quick, steady and permanent growth.

Dear Brother:
We are still getting plenty of show
ers and crops are looking finer than
silk. Settlers keep f1ocking into Cal
gary from every side.
My sales last week amounted to
1920 acres with two more deals un-
der way for 800 acres each which l
hope to close in a day or two.
Every man l have sold land to is
highly pleased and wishing his
friends would hurry up and get here
so they can get located without going
too far back from the railroad. John
Ramsour, M, j. White and Robson
Bros, have begun breaking prairie
and will crowd it to the limit until
about July 10th, and will then begin
discing sod for seeding to fall wheat
in August.
The long-handled shovels and rub
Der boots are all laid in the shade.
Yours as ever,

a large attendance and jolly good
time.
Grover Rich of Blackfoot was a
visitor at his uncle's, l.. j. Rich, the
past week. Mr. Rich is having his
ranch in this place, fenced.
w. A. Edwards has fenced their
new ranch and is now blowing and
otherwise improving the same.
The people here were very much
surprised to learn there was still
some trouble about the building of
Tilden bridge. When they deposited
in the bank the amount required Of
them for payment on the bridge, they
thought all was safe, but now find
something more is required, SO, just
how this will be settled Is not known
now but they will do all they can to
fix it up satisfactorily.
Fencing up new farms and thus
changing the roads has made some
very bad roads here. Some bridges
built and other work done on them
is needed very much as some of the
roads are nearly impossible. Bae.

President Roosevelt Has "Taken
Notice."

Washington, May 21.--President
Roosevelt already has taken mo-
tice" of the $32,000,000 public
building bill, although that measure
is still in conference between the two
houses of congress. He today asked
Secretary Cortelyou to prepare re-
port on the measure to guide him
in determining whether to sign or
veto 1t. Mr.. Cortelyou is asked to
include in his report, first, whether
the condition of the public funds
justifies so large an expenditure for
public buildings at this time; second,
the amount of future expenditures
which will be made necessary to COM
plete the new projects authorized in
the measure, and third, an opinion
based on the expert judgment of the
supervising architect of the treasury,
as to the necessity for each of the
projects provided for.
That there is connection between
the presidents desire to be fully in
formed as to the public building bill
and also his desire to have a bill
passed appropriating for ocean mail
steamers, is declared to be most OBJ
vious. 1t is conceded that no meas
ure passed at this session is more
toothsome to members of both
houses than the public building bill.
The prospect of having this bill veto
ed would cause emphatic concern
and larm. Meanwhile the president
is continuing his personal work with
members to induce action on the an
ti-injunction proposition and to per-
suade house members that the senate
subsidy provision contained in the
postoffice appropriation bill should
be accepted. The report, which Sec
rotary Cortelyou will lose no time in
preparing, will Undoubtedly be con-
vincing along its designed lines.
