RAILROAD TO BUILD
INTO BRUNEAU VALLEY
Surveying Parties Now in the Fie|d---va|Iey
Is One of the Garden Spots of
Southern Idaho.

j. w. Mcharguc, local manager
and booster for the Grand View
Land and Irrigation company, re-
turned from trip to their project
Monday. He left Sunday morning
with number Of interested part
les and drove over the greater part
OF the lands under their system.
Mr.. MehHrgue is more enthusi-
astic over their enterprise than ever
If this is possible and feels that
this affords one of the finest oppor-
tunities for investment in the en-
tire west. ''Wc arc bound to have
one of the finest stretches of coun-
try out of doors in this great valley
before very few years, he stated
to Maverick reporter. Rail
roads are looking that way and in
fact several surveying parties are
already on the ground; this will
mean easy access to market and a
railroad station almost on the
ground under the ditch. A trolley
line is expected very soon that
will connect the Twin Falls coun-
try with points in Nevada, which
will afford easy facilities for ship
ping and travelling in and out of the
valley. 1t is stated that a special
inducement TO railroad companies
to run line through the valley
VIII be the new tract opened in
the Twin Falls country, consist
ing of 500, ,00oacres which will con-
meet with Bruneau valley. This

Died in Nevada.

Mrs. Pearl Winters, a former
Mountin Home girl, who was
married about year ago and moved
to Ely, Nevada, died at the latter
place Monday. Her remains were
brought to Mountain Home Tor
burial.
Her life was gentle, but like the
still waters it was deep. In her
heart of hearts she carried those
she loved, and her hand was never
weary her step never failed in
ministerng unto, caring for, wait
ing upon those VINO were in any
way dependent upon her
Then fell upon the house sud-

fair and thin;
And softly, from that hushed and
darkcned room,
Two angels issue where but one

FIRE DESTROYS
ATLANTA STORES
Flames Cause Loss Of $4,000 In
Mining Cdmp-.-little In
SurdnCe.

News was received in this city
last Friday evening that fire en-
tailinga loss of over $4,000 took
place in Atlanta early in the MORN
ing Of March 4.
The fire started in the general
merchandise store of Geo. Butler
and is supposed to have caught
from the fire that was left in
the stove.
Mr.. Butler is absent in Missouri
and his son, Bert Butler is in Spok-
anc, the store being left in charge
of Mr.. Langdon, who says every
thing was all right when he left
the store for the evening.
The fire was discovered about
O'Clock in the morning and the
whole population of Atlanta was
soon fighting the flames but ow-
ing to the fact that it had made
great hsadway. and facilities for
fighting the flames were made
quate, r.nothing could be saved
The Butler store did not carry a
very large stock and only small
amount of insurance.
The flames spread rapidly to the
Atlanta Hotel owned by Louis
Hoffman and leased to w. E. Bon
ham. No insurance was carried on
this building and the only articles
saved were few household goods.
The fire next spread to the Gray
loc& saloon building owned by Har-
ry Longheim, OH which there was
no insurance. All these buildings
we're totally destroyed as there was
no means of checking the fire. The
fact that it was a still night, not a
breath of air stirring was a most
fortunate circumstance. The roofs
of many of the houses are covered
with sheet iron which prevented
the fire from spreading to the res
ideuce section, otherwise there
might be little left of the mining
camp of Atlanta.
The loss is estimated at $4,000
with almost no insurance.

DENVER GETTING
READY FOR EVENT
Democratic Convention viii Test the
Capacity of the Many
Big Hotels.

DENVER, March 10. The ca
pacity of this city for hotel accomod-
ations will b, tested when the DEL
cgates come TO attend the demo-
cratic national convention here July
=. Denver prides herself on being
city of hotels and preparations
are rapi dly going on for taking care
of he great crowd. The largest
gathering ever convened in Denver
up to tn c present time was the
Grand Army convention here two
years ago. At that time IS, 900
visitors were within Denver's gates
and every one was we'll cared for
and there was not a single instance
of overcharging at hotel or restau-
rant.
Denver has more and better no.
tells in proportion to her population
than any city in the United States.
There are 200, 900 people here and
according TO the estimates of the ho-
tel men there are additional quar-
ters Ter 100, 900 in the hotels of the
city.
1t is not expected that Sc arge a
crowd will come to the dcmocra : /;
national convention that the capac-
ity of the hotels will be very Sc
verely tested, btu every care is be-
ing taken so that there will be de-
sirable quarters for all. The cha m
ber of commerce has guaranteed to
all that prices OF rooms at the no.
tells will not be raised and there
will be no additional charges for
meals because there is a convention
in the city. Denver has had
more than 200 conventions in the
past four years and in no instance
has there been case of overcharg-
lns. One hundred thousand tour
ists come here annually to find re-
creation and hotel men have
learned that ii is best to treat pco-
pie fairly in order that increasing
numbers may return each year.
Five immense hotels have been
built in Denver recently and others
have been enlarged so their capac-
ity has been more than doubled.
The growth of the tourist business
each year and the prospect of an
immense crowd at the democr'ic
nationl convention has stimulated

HELP PLENTIFUL
AT ATLANTA
Men EnOugh at tn Camp to Take
Care of All Merk-.- Sup
plies Are Low.

ATLANTA A, March 10. 1T is the
desire of the camp of Atlanta to
correct the erroneous idea of the
outside world in regard to the
amount of work to be had there.
1t seems to be the general i'm
preston that if one goes to Atlanta
plenty OF work can be procured
either in the mines or hauling 1um-
ber. which has resulted in the ar
rival on an average each week of
six or seven men all looking for
work, while, as a matter of fact,
there ate enough idle men there
now to take care of all the demand
for labor at present, or when the
mines are again running full tilt
Supplies are getting low in Allan
ia and there will be no way of get
ting new supply until the roads
open up and teams are once more
able to get over Bald mountain in
safety.
tits the earnest wish of all liv-
ing here that the public be in
formed of the true state of affairs,
and save the men who are looking
for work a long and arduous trip.

Moving Picture Show Draws Crowds.

Mountain Home is fast taking on
metropolitan airs. The latest ad-
dition in the way OF popular
amusement is an illustrated song
and moving picture show. The
performances occur every night in
the old Ackner building on Canyon
street across from the Citizens State
bank, and is drawing large crowds
at every performance. The show
opened for business last Monday
night and will continue throughout
the summer, giving three openings
each night with a change of bill
twice a week. The moving pic
turc machine is far above the aver
age and is one of the highest priced
machines that could be purchased.
The change of bill comes tonight
and the films that will be shown
the remainder of the week are The
Eaiisman, The Improvised Seren-
adc and The Enchanted Sidcboard.
A small admission of ten cents is
charged and the show is easily
worth double the money.

VIII give large agricultural count
ry and there is on question but that
1t will be sufficient inducement to
guarantee railroad through this
valley within a very few years.
This is all we lack and we are con-
fident that We are going to get it. "
He said that while stopping at
the hotel they were shown four
almond trees that we're in flour
ishing condition. The trees were
growing on filled ground at the
rear OF the hotel, ground that was
too high for irrigating and that tho
only means of supplying water was
by carrying it in pals and pouring
1t in around the roots Of the
trees. Last wear the trees received
little or no attention and that re-
gardless of the arid condition one
OF the trees yielded a fair crop
of almonds. The ditch rider has
taken a considerable interest in
the trees and proposes to keep them
well watered this season and give
them all the care possible and it
is expected that fair crop will
be realized for his trouble. One
OF the trees measures eight inches
in diameter.
Mr. Mehargue further stated
that he is receiving large numbers
OF inquiries OH every mail and his
office has been besieged with i'm
terested buyers ever since it's OPEN
ing.

Eddy cashun is all right in its place." con tinued Mir. Taylor, If a man knows how to use it, but he's liable to carry it too fur"
 Taylor is not a frequent visitor to Phoenix, but when he does come his name usually gets into the social col umns through the police or justices courts. Last spring he was a partici- pant and the chief sufferer in a dis graceful episode in the Tenderloin and he applied to the courts for relief.
 He was heard of no more until few nights ago when Constables Mur- phy and Ivy were in the lower part of town trying to locate some wit nesses in a case to be called the next day. They came upon Taylor but were passing on when he turned up- on them with fearful abuse and pro fanity. He was warned to keep quiet but he persisted and was locked up for drunkenness and disturbance Of the peace. When he was brought before Justice Johnstone the next morning he had no money, but he had in his possession jewelry of the probable value of S100. He left that as security for a s10 fine and went away, saying that he would send the money from Tempe the next day.
 The promise was not kept as to time, but yesterday the money came. With it was letter which has caused all the subsequent trouble. Taylor wrote that he had been unjustly fin ed. That however, was not necessa- rily a reflection on the court and if Taylor had stopped when he got through with the letter no notice would have been taken of him. But he proceeded to indulge in the femi- nine weakness of a postscript in which he expressed the belief that the

BUTTE COUNTY DIVISION.

1T is now certain from the almost
complete figures OF the recent vote in
Butte county, that that county, the
largest in the state, will by the vote of
It's inhabitants, be divided into three
counties. The vote on county division
was heavy and was decidedly allirma-
tive. Butte county is over 100 miles
long and the northern part of the
county is almost out of touch with the
southern half, where the county seat
now is.
The new counties are to be known
rs Perkins and Harding. Lennon
which cast 2SS votes, will probably
be tile county seat Of Perkins county,
which is the northeastern part of this
county, and the northwestern part
will likely be governed from Camp
Creek as the county seat of Harding
county. Butte county, with it's re-
duced territory will continue to have
It's county seat at Belle Fourche.

Since the marvellous flights of the
aeroplanes Of Wilbur Wright in France
and Orville Wright at Fort Myer, near
Washington, ID. G, the papers have been
full OF "the conquest of the air" AS a

the alrship of the future will probably
be built
What is an aeroplane? You know
that kite, though heavier than air,
when once started, will fly as long as

minutes, cutting figures Of eight, rising
to height Of two hunded and fifty
feet and attaining a speed Of forty five
miles an hour He also carried a pas
senger more than nine minutes. His
machine with two men and supplies of
fuel and water weighed eleven hundred

cally proved his ability to construct
machine that will fulfill the stated re-
