Getting Very Busy
First Segregation North
of River Booming
Comfortable Homes Building Where
Only Sage Brush FIOuriShed
Last Year.

J. NJ Grimm, of Miner. was in the
county capital the first of the week on
business connected with the meeting Of
the county commissioners. Mr.. Grimm
is one of the settlers on the 80, 900 acre
tract just receiving water from the
Twin Falls North Side canal, and his
account of the development now going
on over that first segregation of the
North Side project is interesting in the
extreme. This work of Transforming a
sage brush desert into fruitful farms
and happy homes; of changing desert
wastes into fields of luxurious grasses
and waving grains; of making a parched
and thirsty land to yield a fruitage
beyond the dreams of the widest en-
thusiast, is one that appeals strongly
to the imagination, and forces the con-
viction upon the most obtuse mind that
irrigated Idaho will make the garden
spot of the nation. Mr.. Grimm has forty
acres cleared and plowed, and neighbor.
Mr.. Pheasanton, is erecting a two thous-
and dollar residence. Fields are being
cleared and planted and buildings are
being erected here and there over the
entire tract And before the first crop
is fully planted the subject of schools IS
agitating the minds of the settlers and
and plans are being laid and schemes
perfected for districting the tract and
erecting proper school buildings there
on, so that schools may be opened in the
fall for the proper instruction of the
school population in all of the essentials
of the usual common school course.
Remember that this segregation is
part of Lincoln county that had never
before been used except for grazing pur-
poses and that this is but beginning of
the wonderful Transformation that is des-
tined to go OF. till all available water for
irrigation has been utilized within our
borders, and then ask in all seriousness
what room is there now for the knocker
or the pessimist.

ELECTRICAL DISPLAY.
No Rain to Speak of but Plenty OF
Electrical "JuiCe."

OF of an inch of rain fell here We'd
nesday evening; enough to give fair
warning of what might happen if the
foods should break loose. But there
was enough electricity around to make
it decidedly interesting. The telephone
wires sang like pipe organs. Atthe cen
trail office, the call drops fluttered down
like birds. answering the ''call of the
Wild elements until the operator fled
and closed the board rather than risk
the dangerous shock that was imminent
everd second. It's dangerous to use a
phone when the fireworks are on.

are each striving to get hold of this
stock in quantity sufficient to pull the
company to their towns. 1t might be
well for Shoshone to get in and drill with
this company a little If each person
in the town who is able to do so would
take few hundred shares Of this stock
it would insure the permanent location
of the company at this point, where its
officers prefer it to remain, but stran-
ger things have happened than to have
some of our enterprising neighbors put
up a financial proposition to the com
pany of such dimensions as to make it
foolish and suicidal for the company to
turn it down. Would it not be a wise
plan for Shoshone citizens to beat them
to it?
The products put out by this company
not only have much intrinsic merit but
the company has q line of advertising
that is a go-getter Both of these feat
ures are recognized by the boosters
from the other towns that are trying to
get hold of the company. Now, don't
sit around and grin and smile and poke
fun at this proposition until it has been
gobbled up and safely slowed away by
some other town, but if you wish to
help such an enterprise to remain in
Shoshone go right down to the Office of
the company today and invest in some
of their stock and then get out and yell
for Shoshone and Shoshone products.

Extra Work
County Commissioners
Take Entire Week.
Saloon for Rupert, Herd Law FOR
MiIner Tract, GOOding IncOr-
pOrated, and More.

The Board of County Commissioners
met April 18th in regular session, all
members being present, but it appear
ing that the work on hand will continue
during the entire week, the official
minutes of the proceedings cannot be
published in this weeks issue of the
Journal because of the necessity of
waiting for final approval just prior
to the adjournment Of the board.
For this reason a brief summary of
the more important proceedings from
a news standpoint will be given this
week. The applications of D. L. Root
and Dunn Bros. of Rupert for retailers
liquor licenses were backed by a petition
signed by H. H. Cook and 3O4 others,
and a communication signed by the
board of trustees of Rupert, and were
opposed by petition signed bo A. C.
DeMary and 26S others. On consider
alton the board granted the licenses,
F. E. Crosse dissenting.
The application of J. L. Clark for
liquor license in Shoshone was denied,
while that of Al o. Cottle was granted,
Mr.. Crosse again voting against it.
The petition of F. R. Gooding and Is
others praying the board to incorpo-
rate the town of Gooding was granted
and the following persons were ap-
pointed trustees of said village: E. w.
Gardner, Robert Pruitt, Walter Good
ing F. L. Furcht and E. C. Egelus.
The petition for the creation of a
herd district of the Miner tract, laid
over from former meeting, was
granted, the order to take effect on and
after May 18th, 1908. The full de-
scription of the district will appear in
the official minutes to be published
next week.
The petition of J. A. Handy and II
others praying the board to create a
new school district within school dis
trict No. 2S, was granted, and the new
district was created and numbered %.
The district is located in township 10,
ranges % and p, on Snake river.
The matter of a new school district
at Alberta was laid over till the July
session. In the meantime the Sho-
shone school district has jurisdiction.
Regarding the consolidation of school
districts Nos. l, 6 and 10 into a central
school district, with the school building
located at Gooding, the board desired
more time in which to consider the
matter and laid it over till Saturday.
The petitions for consolidation were
sigted by Lewis Walter andssix others.
of district No l, andi Willis MouitOn
and ten others of No 6, and J W Dwyer
and 29 others of No 10. The petitions
of remonstrance were signed by c A
Jones, w Polling and five others of

matter of course, threw her influence
on the side of consolidation 1t appears
that two of the signers of the petitions
for consolidation have since died and
one name was contested, thus reducing

During the past few days the Sage
Brush Tonic company of this place have
received fattering propositions to in
duce them to remove their plant to
other towns. Twin Falls is after the
plant with great big fat proposition.
Mountain Home has expressed a will
lingness to invest largely in the enter
prise. on condition that the plant and
company headquarters be removed to
that point. Boise, through its Com
mercial club, has been courting the
company with a most filattering and
most profitable proposition to transfer
headquarters to that point. All of
these things show the value these cities
place upon having an enterprise Of that
kind in their midst.
The Sage Brush Tonic company is
composed of Shoshone citizens who
are loyal and enthusiastic boosters for
the town. They have never asked a
bonus of any sort from the town and
have made no special effort to place
their stock on the market here. Prac
tically all the stock that has so far
been placed in Shoshone has been taken
by voluntary purchasers. In order to
raise the money necessary to complete
the plant now under construction in
this city and place the preparations on
the market, a block Of several thou
sand shares is now on the market

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eu-
stachian Tube. When this tube is IN
famed you have a rambling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result, and
unless the infam nation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an infamed condition of the mucous
surface.

any case of deafness Caused by catarrh)
