Leano group several thousand tons
Of good shipping ore is blocked out,
I should Judge. If the owners
would parcel out their ground, to
leasers there are scores of places
where ore can be shipped from the
grass roots down, and q cal here and
a a there would make a handsome
aggregate to begin with which would
increase as development proceeded.
The lower grade ores could be taken
out later when milling and smelling
facilities are provided in the camp.

A BIG CONTRACT

]. H. Forbes G. Co., c0Es~s.odGEs,
have just completed contract for the
extension for the Canyon Canal Com
pany of a steel flume 5000 feet in
length, and said to be the longest, con-
tinous flume of this kind in the world.
Mr.. Ross, the local manager, informs
The Tribune that the work was COM
pleted on contract time, otherwise the
company would have forfeited $40, 900
bonus which they now get from the
land owners under the extension. The
external will cover about 10000 acres
of unusually fine fruit and grain
lands. The cost of water per acre is
$65.0O.

BIG RESERVOIR
At JORDAN VALLEY

Harold Williams and his crew of
surveyors returned last Saturday from
Jordan Valley, where he has been
making a survey of a projected reser-
voir site, which will impound the
waters of Jordan creek. The shore
line of the reservoir is % miles and
contains 1000 acres. The depth will
be $50 feet. The base of the dam will
be $50 feet in length on the bottom
but the crest of the embankment will
be 1000 feet in length. The reservoir
will hold water sufficient to irrigate
$1,000 acres of fine agricultural land.
The entire project will be under the
Carey act. 1t is estimated that the
cost per acre will be somewhere about
$4,000 per acre. The project is being
financed by Jordan Valley people. Mr..
Williams and his crew have been over
two months on the survey and it will
be a month more before the estimates
are completed.

Check Artist In Moscow.

A young man apparently about 30
years of age, giving his name as N. S.
Davis of Chicago, was successful in
working the merchants of Moscow
during Sunday and Monday of last
week. The banks being closed on
Monday proved to be a good thing for
him, and he had disappeared when
three of his checks were presented for
payment at the bank Tuesday.
He arrived Friday and entered the
First National Bank and put up the
story that he had in the neighborhood
of $40, 900 on deposit in one of the
Chicago banks and that he would like
to buy good farm or two. Before
leaving the bank he opened an &C
count of $40 and issued checks on it
over Sunday and Monday. His vic
Tins are the Boston store, $28; w
E. Wallace $25, and Ober Bros, SAT
The matter is now in the hands of
the police and efforts are being made
to locate the man.-Rathdrum Tri,

seems almost too good to be true.
Newell knows no more about the
needs of the reclamation service than
a hottentot. He is bumptions, ego
tistical ass, and being such, necesser-
lily abuses power when put in his
hands. His conduct of the reclamation
service has been so arbitrary and I'm
American that he, with his immense
power to enforce his arbitrary and il
legal rulings has done more the past
few years to make anarchists out Of
American citizens than all the Emma
Goldmans, Herr Mosts, Western Fed
Grafton of Miners, the Appeal to Rea-
son and the whole list of professionals
combined. Let us hope the news of

REPORT ON THE
SHEEP MARKET

Union Stock Yards, Chicago, June
14.-The supply of sheep and lambs
this week will show a small decrease
compared to last week and the quality
of offerings is very bad. However,
there have been such small receipts
the market advanced about fifty to
seventy-five cents cwt. on small classes
of sheep and yearlings; in fact every
thing shows a good advance excepting
on heavy, native ewes, which are no
higher. This is not to be wondered
at at this time of the year, as heavy
stuff will not be wanted from now on.
Today we sold train of grass
yearlings from Ellensburg, Washing
ton, belonging to the Rothrock Sheep
Co., at 712c per pound. A few weth-
ers in this shipment sold at six cents.
but they were not very choice, and
some common ewes went at Id cts.
This is the first range stuff on the
market this year and we know these
prices will give you better idea of
how the market is than anything we
could tell you. However, this z 1-2c
yearling sale is so much higher than
anything ever sold at here (S0c cwt.)
we would not advise buying yearlings
at 6 lie are rrather high, and believe
you will agree with us if you can get
at 6 lie are rather high, and believe
them at the present time. These
prices are extraordinary high, yet we
look for a good, strong market
throughout the season. Think it well
to let anything that is fat come for
ward from now on.
Yours truly,

ITEMS OF THIRTY
YEARS Ago

The following local appeared in the
Statesman thirty years ago and was
reproduced in last Sundays paper:
Monte B. Gwinn returned home
Tuesday from a rather prolonged
tour through the mountains of Alturas
and Boise counties. He visited Rocky
Bar, the scene of his early labors, also
Atlanta, and expressed himself as
highly delighted with the prospects
there. Monte knows all about the
Ada Elmore mine, having worked in
it in former years. He is much in
proved by his trip, although little
bronzed by the kisses of old Sol. Ev-
erybody is pleased to see him again at
his old post. The young ladies of
Boise City particularly, will be de-
lighted to learn that Monte is back
again and that his hyacinthine locks
which he had rather closely cropped at
the close of the winter in anticipation
of early spring flights, and the probab-
ility of a scalping expedition by the
Bannocks have been kindly allowed to
grow and curl in their own graceful
style.

LOst-A Smile.

Dedicated to the contestants in the
Tribune's great popularity contest.
A smile was lost one dreary day,
1t had no home, no place to stay,
1t wandered through this vale of tears
For many weary, lonely years.
All people seemed to pass it by,
Until candidate came nigh,
Who grasped that smile-it was her
ace
She played her card and won the race.

Wet OR DRY
QUESTION NOW

(Which will it be-" That is the
question: The coming election which
will probably take place about the
first of September, bids fair to be one
of the hottest contested election ever
held in the county. Even this early
in the game it appears to be the all
absorbing question. 1t is recognized
that the result in this county will
have decided effect upon the balance
of the state. Idaho county has al
ways been in the front ranks in every
reform movement. Last year after
the Republican state convention
turned down the Primary Election
plank Idaho county took up the fight,
adopted the plank and instructed her
Legislative delegation to use all hon
orable means to secure the passage of
such a law. Other counties followed
her example and today we have the
law upon our statute books.
In regard to the local option ques-
ton, Idaho county has not waited for
any other county to try the matter
and be decided by the rersults in 9TH
er places but has "taken the bit in
her teeth" and will soon know what
the majority of the people of the
county desire. 1t is right and proper
that we should take this action. 1t
matters not to US what other people
want, is the question. 1t appears the
"Drys" have the best of it and if the
election was to be held now, there
would be no question as to the result.
However, ninety days give ample time
for campaign and sentiment may
change, therefore, it stands all work
ers for the DRY" side to be on the
alert and let no opportunity slip to
assist the cause along as the "Wet"
side will soon be up and doing and
there are two sides to the question.
From the discussions we have
heard it appears that the fight will be
made upon three Important features
the moral, the business and the tax.
In regard to the moral the "Drys"
claim that by doing away with the
saloons the drinkers will not be able
to obtain booze; the "Wets" claim
that it will result in the establishing
of he bootleg joints. In regard to
the business proposition the "Drys"
claim the money now spent for booze
will be used in the legitimate channels
of trade and be benefit to the coun-
ty while the "Wets" claim that it will
result in the depreciation of property
and will drive away trade to other
cities where booze is sold. In regard
to the tax problem the "Drys" claim
that it will lessen the current expense
tax while the "Wets" claim that it
will increase the school and road tax.
We maintain that the sooner the
question is settled the better as then
men will know what to depend on.
No saloon man now nor has he in the
past two years felt justified in i'm
proving his property because he didt
not know how soon he might be put
out of business.
