PROTECTING THE LAMBS
Large Quantities of Explosives Used TO
Keep Off Coyotes

Over two tons of powder and
100, 900 caps have been purchased
this spring from one hardware store
in this city-D. A. Hawkins-by
the owners of sheep to protect their
hocks from coyotes and other wild
animals during the lambing season.
Purchases of explosives have al
so been made from other dealers,
which gives some idea of the ex-
penses incurred at this season of
the year to intimidate those ami
mails which have an Unsuitable ap-
petite for a lamb on the half she'll.
The lambing season is on. and
a small army of men are employed
night and day to keep watch over
the flocks. From the city, numer-
Gus fires may be seen burning
around the sides of the buttes and
all night long the boom of guns
may be heard. The old-fashioned
army muskets are used, with long
barrels and large hammers. Per-
cussion caps are used to discharge
these formidable guns. During the
night, each herder on duty is armed
with one of these muskets, and it
is their duty to fire them off at reg
ular intervals.

WATSON TO LEAD POpULIsTs
The Nebraska Delegation Bolted After
A Fight for Bryan

For president of the United
States, Thomas E. Watson of
Georgia.
For vice president, Samuel w.
Williams of Indiana.
/ This ticket was nominated BY
the Peoples party convention at
St. Louis on Friday, after two
stormy sessions throughout which
the Nebraska and Minnesota dele
cations working in the the interest
of w. J. Bryan strove desperately
to bring about an adjournment of
the convention until after nomina-
ton had been made by the Demo-
cratic and Republican parties.
Hopelessly outnumbered and with
out any chance whatever of gaining
their object, the Nebraska men
fought desperately to the lasr, and
when Jay w. Forest Of Albany, N.
v, mounted the platform to place
Watson in nomination they with
QISW HUN lJE GOuhCullOH, dllCAd-
ed by the Minnesota delegation,
which consisted. however, of only
one man-T. ]. Weighan. If Bryan
is nominated at Denver the, men
who walked out of Fridays con-
vention will support him, and they
declare that the Populists of Ne
braska will do so to man.
Thome E. Watson, the presi-
Dental nominee, is we'll known
the country and his
political life is familiar history.
Samuel w. Williams, the candi-
date for vice-president, is resident
of Nincennes, Ind, where he has
practiced law for many years. He
is GO years of age and has always
been more or less of an active par
ticipant in politics. He was at one
time Democratic member of the
Indiana Legislature. but has been
identified with the Populist party
since its creation. He is grey hair

inches tall, lean and of nervous

sub-leased to the Presbyterians and
the Artisans.
The new home of the club will
be neatly and comfortably furn-
ished. One room will be fitted up
for reading room and the leading
magazines will be kept on hand.
The other room will be lounging
room and will be provided with
arm chairs, tables and couches.
The membership of this organ
ization is growing rapidly and it
is believed the 100 mark will be
reached this month. The roll now
contains 40 names. For the next
80 days no initiation fee will be
charged; simply the regnlar dues
of 81 per month. At the expiration
of this time limit an entrance fee of
$5 will be charged, with dues of 81
per month. Every business man
and every property owner should
join. Young men should also be-
come members, for the reading
room privileges and social features,
if nothing else. The time is ripe
for boosting this good old town
and advertising the wonderfully
favored country that lies around
us. There's nothing so glorious or
so self-satisfying as working to
upbuild your home town and to
make it better and more prosper
Gus. A membership in the Com
mercial Club will broaden your
vision, arouse your pride, enthuse
your spirits and transform you into
a rambunctious, wildly enthusias-
tic booster for the best town in the
state. Unite 100 such fellows into
a common body, all working for
the upbuilding of this town and
section, and you have force that
is well nigh irresistible. Get into
the game, boys. Play ball

Rumor of Extensisn.

The presence of E. H. Dewey,
Judge Bronson, Mr.. Folsom and c.
w. Moore in this city Saturday has
again started rumors of an exten-
sion of the Idaho Northern Up the
valley. Mr.. Moore is the Seattle
millionaire who last week bought
the Platt ranch at Marsh, and Mr..
Bronson and Mr.. Folsom are money
ed men and we'll known railroad
promoters. The Index has been
unable to gather any definite ipfor-
nation, but the indications strong
ly point to a reorganization of the
Idaho Northern railroad company
and an extension of the line into
Garden valley.

fairest cities to be found any place.
During the past year some very
fine buildings have been construct

thoroughness of work.
All our business interests are in
a healthy condition and with the
opening of the Canyon canal and
the new lands watered by it, we
believe that Emmett will take its
place as one of the most prosperous
and busy towns in the state.
