CoREANs SHOOT STEVENS.
Fanatics Shoot American Diplomat
Who Helped Japan.

San Francisco, Cal, March pa
With the revolver of the would-be
assassin concealed in a handkerchief,
D. w. Stephens, formerly Counsellor
to the Japanese Embassy at Wash
ington, but for several years Diplo-
matte Adviser to the Corean govern
ment at Seoul. was shot and serious
ly wounded Monday as he was about
to leave for Washington.
Three shots were fired at Mr.. Ste
gens from a 32-cahber revolved by
T. w. Chang, a dimnnutive Corean.
The first bullet missed the diplomat
and accidentally struck and perhaps
fatally wounded NJ W Chun, one
of the three OF four Coreans who
were lying in wait for Mr.. Stevens
with the intention Of killing him, and
who. a moment before, had struck
him a vicious blow in the face The
other two shots took effect in Mr.
Stevens back, one bullet striking
him under the right shoulder blade
near the spinal column and the sec
ond a few inches lower While the
wounds are serious, it is said that
the chances for Mr.. Stevens recov-
cry are good
The motive for the murderous at
tack apparently arises out Of the
resentment of a small group of local
Coreans TO the Japanese protector
ate over Corea, who sought to avenge
their country for the important part
played in the reorganization of its
by Mr.. Stevens. Mr..
Stevens arrived from the Orient last
Friday on the Japanese steamer Nip
pom Maru.
Sunday night he was attacked at
the Paramount Hotel by delegation
Of four or five Coreans who had
called to see him with reference to
an interview in which he had praised
he work Of the japanese in Corea.

Side, 1t would present Nature and
Industry in their most feverish
moods in startling contrast Such
br dye would necessarily be bnilt
to accommodate the electric line
which will eventually be built from
Twin Falls across to the nortnward,
probably to Shoshone, and would
do wonders in developing the whole
country. While the bridge is nnt
an immediate prospect, it is the
opinion of some Of the heaviest
hnanciers that made a toll bridge
it could be made to pay from the
first day, even if the work were
started now.

Salmon River Project.

Lying south of the Twin Falls
tract and somewhat to the west
ward, is the 10000 acres that has
been segregated under the contract
with the Twin Falls Salmon River
company. For years the budding
irrigationists thought it would be
impossible toget water on the lind,
though the land itself is considered
the cream of the whele Snake River
valley But fnallyJ. E. Hayes of
Twin Falls, one OF the engineers
who hiss laid out most of the new
irrigation towns of southern Idaho,
found a way to bring water to the
land. Briefly, it was to build
great dam in the Salmon river can
yon, dam more than 200 feet
high: tunnel for a mile through
the solid rock, and through this
tunnel deliver the waters of the
dam on the land With the sue
cess OF the Twia Falls project, this
one became entirely feasible, and
it has now reached the stage where
the first $4,000 acres Is to be OPEN
ed in May of this year.

Reclaim 100000 Acres.

One of the most stupendous pro
jects is that projected for the recla-
nation Of the Bruneau country in
Owyhee county. to the westward of
all the present segregations. This
will contain 100000 to 100000
acres, the exact area possible MT
yet having been determined. The
water will be reservoired at the
head of Snake river, and taken to
the land through a great canal par
abel to and twice the size of the
present South Side canal. 1t will
be syphoned across the deep, pre-
cipitous Salmon river canyon. 1t
is a magnificent project, entirely
feasible, but Is yet only in the en-
bryO stage.

A Mighty Dam.

There are i'll the whole world but
two dams the equal in height to
the great dam that will eonfne the
waters of the Salmon river, to be
used for irrigating the Salmon river
tract. Both of these are in this
county, in connection with the
government irrigation projects.
The Salmon dam will be. 2l0 feet
high and 1876 feet long, with an up
and-down stream depth of 100 feet
at the bottom and y feet at the
top. 1t will contain $4,000 bar
rels of cement, for it is to be a solid
cement structure. 1t will be OF the
arch or keystone construction, set
with the arch up stream. so that
the heavier the pressure the stron-
ger will be the resisting power 1t
is a very decided arch, so that the
downstream side will look almost
like a section of a gigantic cistern.
The canyon walls will be cut into
steps where the concrete was laid
in, and these steps will face up
stream at the proper angle to an

A Bridge $50 Feet High!

By long odds the most spectac-
ular engineering work projected by
the company, even more than the
taking of a great river like either Of
the big canals out of the steep can
yon and spreading it out over the
thirsty land, is the proposed bridge
across Snake river at Shoshone
Falls
Just below the falls, there is a
vast pool, where the waters have
boiled and eddied for ages, and lap
ped away the crags by their mad
violence. But a few hundred yards
down stream, the canyon closes in
again, until the cliffs only 1873
feet apart at the top A line thrown
straight across at this point would
be $50 feet high-twiee as high as
any other bridge ever built. 1t is
here that it is proposed to build a
bridge that shall carry the traveller
across the great chasm, without de-
scending a foot into the gorge.
Either suspension span OF this
length, or a eantilever or arch span
somewhat less, could be built for
approximately $250,000 The arch
or cantileyer span could be shorter
as it would be possible to build the
towers up from the canyon and so
shorten to possibly 500 feet the
enormously expensive main span.
But what bridge it would be-
A spidery steel structure, almost
.wo city blocks above the roaring
liver, with the fresh spray of the
great cataract blowing up in ones

Jorge in America, and leading from

Utility vs.. Beauty.

Despite the talk. that has been
made about the desecration of the
falls for mercenary commercialism,
the water now being used at the
Shoshone Falls power plant is per-
haps not one half OF one per cent
of the normal river flow. There
are springs above the falls, which
have b en- carefully measured, are
estimated o furnish all the water
needed to run the entire maximum
plant of $4,000 h. D., or more than
10000 h. p, if the fall is increased
by dams as has been proposed, if
there were not a drop OF water com
ing over the Miner dam 1t might
be possible for the irrigation works
to use most of the current during
the irrigating season, through the
Twin Falls and the proposed Bru-
neau prof ct. as well as the other
projects farther up the river in
Bingham and Fremont counties, in
which case the falls would during
the summer lose their spectacular
value without the power plant. But
the power plant will be secure, and
the world is botter for the irrigation
and the power for manufacturing
and industries than for a g eat, in
sensate waterfall rearing its life
away over the age-worn rocks.

Temperance Question in Canyon.

Payette-Shall it be straight state
prohibition or local option. This is
the question that is agitating the
minds of the voters of Canyon
county more than any other question
with which political parties have had
to deal for a good many years. There
is not the least doubt that the Re-
publican party in this county will
adopt a strong plank in its platform
favoring one or the other, and it is
probable that the Democrats will
do likewise. but the question now
IS which shall it be, and there is a
wider difference between the TWO
than one at first might suppose.
The strongest sentiment here is in
favor of local option, some favoring
it because they believe it is better
than state wide prohibition.
