Salmon River Dam.

F. c. Horn, constructing engineer on
the Salmon River dam south OF Twin
Falls, was in town Saturday, on his way
down to the works. The construction,
or rather the preparation for the actual
dam work, is going on with a large force
OF men. A steam road locomotive,
Best llO-h. p. outfit with four cars, is
now hauling material TO the dam, ready
to be used on the permanent work.
The train will haul 45 tons at one load.
So far, machinery and general supplies
for the camp have made up most Of the
hauling; but the big locomotive will
soon be set to hauling cement and such
materials.
The power line from shoshone Falls
is completed to the dam, and the elec'
trio current is now available for use il
the camp. The rock crushers, cranes
and other machinery on the dam vii
require a large amount OF power-up
wards Of 300 horse power, it has beel
estimated. Two shifts of men will b
worked on the dam, night and day, t
yet the work along as rapidly as posi-
bic. A small army will be employed il
all the various branches of the work.
Mr.. Horn. who was for years connect
ed with the government reclamatl9
service, designed and built the Minidok
dam and number Of great engineerin
works through the west. He is rated
one Of the very best constructing eng

Cases Dismissed
Boise Basin Cases Against Barber

Messrs j. T. Barber and s. G. Moon
were indicted, two or three years ago as
result OF political Vaccinations iu Ida
no were dismissed by United States Dis
trict Judge Quarles at Madison and it is
expected that this will close the history
Of these cases.

the defendants, was interviewed tonight
and said'
Omitted States District Judge Quarles
for the western district of Wisconsin,
has very emphatically refused to send j.
+. Barber and S. G. Moon to Idaho to
stani tLial on the indictment which
Judge Whiison of the Idaho court has
held vas a corrupt procedure by the for
mer United States district attorney,
"These gentlemen were arrested on
this indictment and on the preliminary
examination before Judge Quarles to de-
termine as to whether or not crime
had been committed and as to whether
or not there was probable cause to be-
lieve the defendants guilty, Judge
Quarles held that on the evidence offer
ed by the government there was absolute
y nothing to show that the defendants
should be pl .eed on trial, even if the in
dictment had been properly procured.
"The decision is verv far reaching
going to the very gist of the pending
charge and is to the effect that even as
suming everything charged to be true
no wrong has been done by the parties
charged and that there is nothing char
ged which shoula put the defendants t.
the expense and annoyance of a trial.
"Under this decision any further aC
ton on the part of the government

II attorneys have received n number

WaKeeney Man Says Primary Law Is
Defective.

Isaac Purcell of WaKeeney, owner
of the finest residence in western
Kansas and one of the rich men of
the state, is in Topeka today. and call
ed upon Governor Hoch and other
state officers.
In speaking of the new tax law, Mr.
Purcell said: Our people are just
waiting to see what the effect of the
new law is before they pass judgment.
If 1T doesn't raise taxes. they will be
for it. One effect of the new law is
to raise the rates of interest on real
estate loans from 6 per cent to 8 per
cent. This is because of the taxation
of mortgages The holder of the
mortgage simply makes the borrower
pay the taxes. that's all. We ought to
exempt all farm mortgages from taxa
ton. 1t is a form of double taxation,
anyway
Il suppose the primary law is here
to stay in some form. but it is one of
the most highly unsatisfactory pieces
of legislation ever put on the books
1t will have to be changed In many
particulars. Many hundred votes
were rejected in the recent primary
which should have been counted In
our county 124 votes were rejected for
technical defects. Stubs carried the
county by II, but if those votes had
been counted. Leland would have had
100 majority.
This primary election shows that
we have another wave of radicalism on
here in Kansas which beats anything
which happened during the Populist
dayS"

Admiral, is there any truth that -af-

captain of another battleship: Those
Spaniards can't fight thing except
water?'''
Admiral Evans laughted and re-
piled:

and what the incident really was. One
drizzly day during the blockade we
stood in toward the harbor and shelled
the shore batteries. 1t was not as ex-
citing as it might have been, for
whether we hit anything or not 1 know

back to it's original basis, as intended
by congress and with the elimination
of a few other costly abuses, he pre-
dicted that publishers may continue to
