The Owyhee nugget. ([Silver City], Idaho) 1905-1984, 1908-12-11

The cement foundation for the bat
terry at the Potosi mill was not solid
enough and began to crumble from the
severe strain and jar of the stamps.
The sand used in the construction WAS
not of the proper quality, and the work
of the mill had to be suspended until
the foundation can lie taken out and
rebuilt, which is now being done This
will probably take couple of weeks.
In the mean time the development work
goes right ahead.

Short Line RoiIroad to
be built in Owyhee Co.

According to authentic information
two crews of Oregon Short Line sur
veyors are at work making the final
surveys of the South Side Line from
Bull, in Twin Falls county. Idaho, to
Nvssa, Oregon. By the construction of
this line the Short Line will have a
water grade from the Minidoka junction
to Huntington and when the line is
completed, that is now being con-
structed from Huntington to Lewiston,
down the Snake river canyon, it will
have water grade from the eastern
part of Idaho to Portland, Ore. dis
tance of approximately 1000 miles.
One of the surveying crews is now
camped at Grand View, having CON-
pleted the survey to aud west of the
Bruneau river, and are now cross sec
tioning aud setting grade stakes between
the Bruneau and Grand View.
The road will pass through Owyhee
county on the south side of Snake river,
crossing the comfy from east to west,
and cross the state line between Idaho
and Oregon just west of Homedale, Ida
This will give an impetus to the settle
ment of the vacant lands through which
this line win pass, and as preparation
is now being made to irrigate most Of
these lands, it will only be short time
until that part of Owyhee county will
be lhickly settled.
This will add about l50 miles of rail
road to Owyhee county, most of which
is through the finest lands in the west,
of ricli soil and with climate that can
not be surpassed. This climate and
soil is especially adapted to the growing
of all kinds of fruit, vegetables and
grain, and is the very best in the world
for the production of alfalfa. There
are number of ranches along this line
that produce 10 to IL tons of alfalfa to
the acre every year, and the average
production is about or tons per acre,
while the quality canpot be surpassed.
We have made study of this produc-
ton and have found that stock fed on
alfalfa grown in this locality fatten
more rapidly and do better than on
the same feed grown in any other place
in the world. More honey is produced
by bees from alfalfa here than in any
other country, showing, conclusively,
that the climate and soil of the Snake
river valley are the best in the world
for the production of this, the King of
all forage plants. Many of the valleys
through which this line will pass are
covered with growth of sage that are
veritable trees, some of which are ten
or twelve inches in diameter.
Here homes for many families can be
made when the numerous irrigation pro-
jects now under way are completed, as
there will be thousands of acres of fine
! land watered.

RABIES OR HYSTERIAP
Woman Bitten by Cat Had Symptoms
of Hydrophobia.

FREEPORT. l.. l.. August because
the body of pet cat belonging to Mrs.
Jane G. Trumbull of Baldwin. near here
was cast out when IT died a few weeks
ago it may never be known whether Mrs.
Trumbull, who died early in the week.
was victim of rabies or hysteria There
were many indications that she had by
drophobia, but the physicians are now
unable to esta blish it as a fact
Mrs. Trumbull. who was the wife of a
former professional golf player in Scot
land. was bitten by the cat about two
months ago. DR.. F. w. Fletcher cauter-
ICED the wound and neither he nor Mrs
Trumbull anticipated any i'll effects.
Later the cat died and his body was
thrown out.
About two weeks ago Mrs. Trumbull
came down with nervous prostration, and
last Sunday, when DR.. Fletcher called,
she told him of having dreamed that a
cat had crawled up to her face and torn
her with its claws. finally scratching her
eyes out. She said she had awakened in
frenzy of fear, and had been unable to
sleep again.
Other symptoms aroused the physicians
suspicious and he offered Mrs. Trumbull
a drink to test whether the muscles Of
her throat were contracted. as is always
the case in the early stages of rabies
Mrs. Trumbull was unable to drink, and
fright and nervousness sent her into con-
WILSON'S. She rapidly became worse, and
despite the administration of powerful
drugs became so violent that her attend
ants were afraid of her, and she left
her bed. ravinE about the room. smash
ing pictures, bric-a-brac and the furni-
ture.
The attack lasted for eight hours. and
Mrs. Trumbull died early Monday morn
ing. Wednesday the body was cremated
at Fresh Pond.
According to Mrs. Trumbulrs last wish
her ashes will be sent to Scotland to be
buried in the kirkyard of her birthplace.
