HaIes & Crane to the Front.

Since landing the contract for the
construction of the main canals for
the irrigation of the Dietrich and North
Shoshone tracts of the idaho Irriga
ton company's project, Hales & Crane
have leaped into prominence as one of
the big contracting firms of Irrigated
Idaho. The job they have undertaken
is nothing less than the construction of
main canals of SIS miles of main canals
of which 30 miles belong to the North
Shoshone and Gooding tracts north Of
the Big Wood river, and rs miles are
for the watering of the Dietrich tract
width of the Dietrich canal is 80 feet
and the other canal will be as wide if
not wider. Four or five hundred men
will be constantly employed on the
work with teams sufficient to make
their labor effective. It's the intention
of this enterprising firm to push the
work with all possible dispatch and
the job by the end of the
year 1t is within the possibilities that
they may also take the contract for the
of the laterals connected
with the same system. These gentle |
men are young men who formed the
present partnership some five or six
years ago and operated as railroad and
ditch contractors in Oklahoma, Wyom- I
ng, Washington and Idaho.
They have made permanent head
quarters in Shoshone with Office and
.ommissary in an annex of the G. F.
Borden warehouse on west Rail street
he size of which is being doubled to
their rapidly growing
BUSINESS. A. L. Cunningham is their
read clerk and confidential man IN
.harge of the office, which is becoming
|. hive of industry teeming with the
life and activity characteristic of a big
irrigation enterprise.

Giles G. Titus of Rupert, guardian of
Mrs. Amelia Fleming, informing him
that said person is no longer insane and
requesting him to come and take her

return to the Minidoka project where
she win be at liberty to turn her gun on

Changes in School Teachers.

| Three changes have been made, OF
will be made by the time school opens
again, in the department of teachers.
Prof. W. c. Thompson resigns his place,
to take the better care of his real
estate investments, Prof. Westhof, of
Aspen Colo, will take his place. The
Prof. is married, and will locate his
family here. Miss Fern Fuld, of the
southside primary, resigns to go to her
home in Haley. Miss Dorothy Craw-
ford will take her place The third
change is the resignation of Prof. Rad
maker, Miss Clara England, of Haley,
will take his place in the school. The
rest of the teachers department will
remain the same. The $25, 900 that
was voted for the erection of an addi-
ton to the school, will be the means of
putting the school in the regular High
school class, as it means a better de-
partment for the 18th grade. The addi-
ton is necessary from the standpoint
of increased population of school stud
ents.
While the friends of Prof. w. c.
Thompson regret that he finds himself
unable to continue his school work here,
they will be glad to know that his
successor is eminently worthy to sue
coed him. Prof. James Westhoff is a
graduate of the scientific and normal
of an Iowa college and has
had thirteen years successful experience
IS principal and superintendent of city
schools. His testimonials are the very
pest. In retiring from the primary de-
3artment in which Miss Fern Fuld has
achieved such brilliant success she
caves a position that the board des-
,aired of filling till Miss Dorotha Craw-
ord consented to take the place. Miss
Crawford has a record il the Shoshone
chools as we'll as elsewhere that can
ardly be duplicated. Miss Fuld is to
axe a position in the Haley schools
where she can be at home.

 It is to be sincerely hoped for the benefit of Greater Los Angeles, that the words this banker spoke were properly weighed and that they will be followed by a policy that will show the leg innate mining man that the city appreciates his presence and is willing to extend all the courtesies which those in other lines of business are now entitled to.
 If, however, the words have merely been thrown as a sop to a sentiment which is just arounsed and which wIt4 grow stronger as the days go by, with out being backed by deeds. then one Of two things will happen-either mar ing men will be forced to do their bus mess elsewhere, or a new bank, or ganized and capitalized by mining men, win be founded to f-ll the pUsi ton which is now neglected in the IT. nanciai world. Let the bankers of Los Angeles ponder these words we'll and let them look over their list uI depOsitors and decide for themselves whether or not the amount of mining money now on deposit is sufficient to finance an institution that would be second to none in the southwest

TERRITORIAL AND COUNTY NEWS
HOW TUCSON STREETS
 ACQUIRED THEIR NAMES

by the Apaches in a fight in the Whetstone mountains
 Simpson street was named after a mining man Of that name. He was an Englishman and close friend Of Lieutenant Cushing and was killed In the same battle with him.
 Stone avenue was named after Colonel Stone. He was among the finest looking of all the early set. tiers. He was killed with a number of other men near the east end Of Apache Pass by the Apaches.
 Franklin street was named after A. F. Banta. then known as charley Franklin. Franklin was a middle name and it was under this name he was known to the writer and served as a scout under Cook in all the frontier campaigns in which that noted fighter was engaged MT. Ban ta states that at the time Franklin street was laid out there was neither street nor house. It was covered from one end to the other with greasewood and cactus
 The other members of the survey ing party were Green Rusk and Sam Ragland. Rusk died in Tucson about a month ago. and Raglan shot a man and moved Co Texas. MT Ban ia is still in ;he enjoyment of good health and Is strikingly young for his age.

4 MINERS BANK
 BEING CONSIDERED
American Mining Reylew.)

The time has come when the best business interests of Los Angeles de mand radical modification of the at- t'tude of local banking interests to- wards the mining industry of the Southwest, or failing that, the orgauI- zation of a new institution, established and financed by those who haze brought wealth from the many minus districts tributary to the city.
 Mining men are not unreasonaDIs as class and they therefore acknowl- edge the self-evldently just business axiom which prevents the indiscrimi- nate loan'ng of money upon unproNen mining securities. But they do de mand, and rightfully so. that the in dustry which ias done so much to- wards the upbuilding of the city bs treated with the same consideration as is eheerfuliy accorded to others. jt seems ridiculous, at least to men unversed in the intricacies of modern banking. that it should be necessary 10 insugurate campaign of eauca- ton 10 bring home 10 the guardians of public funds the very evident fact that mining has assumed enormous proportions in the Southwest and tnaJ Los Angeles is not securing her just share of the accruing benefits. When territory at our very doors produces the enormous sum of S66,000, ,000 Iu one year rom mines, 1t seems incred- ible that any man. banker or lay-1iss.i, could be found bold enough. or lgnor- ant enough, to assert t,lat the indus try offSrs no proper collateral for loans upon a safe and business-like basis. But there are a few such men n Los Angeles, men in charge of i'm portant institutions. men of inflated egos-inflated in inverse ratio to ths seriousness with which they are taken by the community upon whlcn they live.
 Those who know something of the evolution of San Francisco, reaIsz,, hat the change from village to me .ropolis was brought about wholly by the development of the Comstock ana Mother Lode mines. The same results eould never have been obtained, how ever. but for the long-sighte,f anu rroad-minded policy inaugurateo ana maintained by the Bank of California
 when it's destinies were presided oset by the late Senator sharon, the la.e Mir w. c. Ralston, It's famous cashier. and MT. D. O. Mills. That bank. whose lead was followed by others. did more than any other agency fs reaping for San Francisco the full benefit of the tremendous mining sc- tivity then rampant Did San Fran cisco suffer by this fberal banking poiicy2 Did those Institutions lose caste by proper encouragement of the industry? the answer lies there. today, by the Golden Gate, where mining millions have found permanent investment and where those instftu- 'tions st'll stand as monuments so bread minded patriotism combined with hard-headed business sagacity.
 At a recent banquet, representative of local mining interests. one of tns leading bankers of the city uttered words which portend that the day U. awakening Is at hand. Tae institu- ton which he represents is one of

Saford, the streets in the old town were named Congress street. the main street, or alley. as 1t then was, was called Congress street for the reason that Congress Hall, the name of a big gambling house and saloon, stood at the intersection of the street with Meyer. and it stands there today. but shorn cf all it's prestige and frontier glory.
 Meyer street was named after the late Judge Charles Meyer. who had a drug store on the corner of Con gress and Meyer sheets.
 Convent street was named from the fact that the northern end was against the convent Of the Sisters of St. Joseph.
 Pennington street was named al ter the Pennington family, of whom Mrs. Judge Scott. is the only living representative, her father and broth CTS having been killed by Indians.
