Atlanta Mines Show Activity

Charles T. Gray. forest ranger To-
Gated at Atlanta. arrived in the city
yesterday from that place. He re-
ports considerable activity in mining
circles there this spring. He says
that while the Atlanta wagon road is
in rather bad shape it is passable and
that several freighters have managed
to make their way through with sup
plies. which were in great demand in
the long isolated and snow bound
town.
AL Ostner of Boise, with gang of
about 10 men, has been at work for
some time shoveling away dirt slides
and further UP the line they have
been engaged in cutting and blast
ing away snow slides, which are the
principal cause of blockading the
road.
The Bagdad- Chase Mining company
has paid off its men. who were some
what dissatisfied because they had re-
ceived no pay for three months. A
number of those who signified their
intention of striking have been taken
on again and everything is moving
serenely.
The Minerva mine, though not 9
big proposition, is on a good paying
basis and has kept 80 men steadily
employed all winter. The Yuba,
owned by an English outfit, is reopen
ing its works and number of new
miners have been employed to open
the tunnels and take ore out.
Mr.. Gray said that the location OF
the rangers headquarters, about 2oc
yards from the town of Atlanta, is
ideal. They have about 25 acres OF
good land to cultivate if they wish
and plenty of forage for their horses.
In connection with the matter OF
the alleged killing of trout in the
river by 4 the tailings of the Bagdae
Chase Mining company's mills. Gray
said that he had been along the rivel
great deal but had not seen any
dead fish in the stream and did not be

FIREMEN ELECTS.
new OFFICERS
Local Fire Department Shows Great
Interest in Its AffairS-.Chief
Reelected

Last Monday night the Mountain
Home Fire Department held its an
nual election of officers and transacted
such other business as would regu-
larly come before the meeting
Officers for the coming year were
chosen as follows:
u. A. Couverette. Chief;
E. d. Meserole, Asst. Chief.
w. H. Hronek, Sec;
Chas. P. Hall, Treas;
Geo. Britton. Engineer,
Ray Blanchard, Foreman.
Mr.. Couverette was reelected to his
position as Chief, having held the
office during the past year. His pop
ularity with the boys together with
his efficiency and enthusiasm make
him very desirable man for the pu-
sition, and his election will be very
agreeable to the general public.
The work of the department dur
ing the past year has saved to the
city many thousand of dollars. They
have always responded promptly and
willingly to the fire alarm and their
work in every instance has been SO
effective that little or no damage has
resulted in the city during the past
year from fire. Several fires were
started that might have destroyed q
great deal of property and possibly a
large part of the city but for the
prompt action of the department.
The fire at the Stanfeld residence and
at the rear of the opera house block
might be mentioned as the most dan
gerous experiences we had with fire
during the past year.
Mountain Home is proud of its de-
partment and should never miss the
opportunity to give it every assis-
tance possible when the boys are
striving to raise funds for its main
tenance.

mercial Club will hold a smoker and
social evening at which time Riley
Atkinson and number of other Ida
no Boosters will be present to instill
new spirit of optimism and enthus-
iasm into the local club. The Com

Southern Idaho League for over a
year and during this time has been to
certain extent, shut out of the gen.
eral activities that has characterized
the efforts of united boosting in Ida

ing, among other things, to discuss
the advisibility of entering the
League and thereby receiving the
many benefits that accrue to such an
organization
A large meeting is expected and
all members of the club are especial
ly requested to be present. Pres.
Helfrich has been doing much the
past few weeks to revive the club and
his efforts are being we'll rewarded.
Several delinquent members have re-
turned to the club by paying up ar
rearages and several new names added
to the list. Mountain Home has use
for good Commercial club and such
an organization can be greater ben
eft to the city than any other agency
that can possibly be employed.

BAPTIST REWv.
AIS CLOSE
Successful Series of Meetings By
Chaplain White Closed last
Sunday Night

"The Fighting Chaplain" has come
and gone. Every night for three
weeks and four times on Sundays,
Chaplain E. w. White D. D., Major
Chaplain of the 31st Michigan U. S.
Volunteers, sought to win men to
Godfearing lives.
For two weeks his message was to
Christians of Mountain Home. 1t
was his earnest conviction that if men
and women who professed belief in
the Lord Jesus Christ were sufficient
ly awake to their mission in the
world, many more would be saved.
At times he thundered forth awful
warnings for those who had lowered
the standard of Christian living. He
did not spare the ministry, men who
seek to gain members and please the
world. Adding to the church but not
to the Lord. where conversions and
baptism are unknown but society,
possibly Christian, fourished to the
curse Of the community where it ex-
listed.
At intervals the evangelist, SEEM
ing to be filled with prophetic in
stinct, would point his finger some
where in the congregation with Thou
art the man." This resulted in many
guilty ones leaving the room not to
return but to criticize ''His an
nointed.' But in no case did the
speaker know the person, only ac-
auainted with common sin and its
effect. The writer is acquainted
with most all the leading evangelists
in this country and is of the belief
that none can excel Chaplain White
in the high order of his pulpit work
one night with another, while his SER
mons on the Judgement and the Un-
pardonable sin are mountain peaks.
He combines all the fiery earnest
ness and logic of Finny while now
and again the power that made
Mvody's preaching effective is shown.
He is forceful, not as melodramatic
as Billy Sunday while his sermons
are Illuminated with a wealth of IL
lustration reminding one of Talmadge.
The Word as the Chaplain preached
it was surely Savior of life unto
life,. or of death into death. -
Many who have tried to take a mid
die ground have put themselves on
record as for or against, while the
church has been cemented as never
before.
Never has the Baptist church faced
the future with so much hope 1t in
volved tremendous effort of pastor
and people to get man like the
Chaplain here but the little church
has way of doing big things.
AS definite result of the meetings
about 20 have put on the Lord. uniting
with the church and several more are
to be received.
At the close of the service Sunday
night, SIPS was given to the evange
list as free will offering.
The contract for the first story of
the new church will be let this week
and it is hoped the church can occupy
it by fall. This church claims the best
trained and most efficient body of
young peope in the state. When we
go into the new building an institu-
tona work will be begun which will
be thoroughly aggressive.
Laboring under present handicap OF
lack of room the church has gained
Soc per cent in membership in 81
months with nearly all the Sunday
School scholars members of the
church. ID. H.

LARGE AMOUNT ASKED
BY H0RBACHS OF SULLIVAN
eleven Causes Of Action Alleged by
Plaintiffs I'm Suit Filed in
District Court.

Judgment against Eugene ]. Sullivan is
demanded on eleven counts by plaintiffs in
a suit against him in district court. The
amount sought is S77,3 n
The plaintiffs are Mrs. Sarah Horbach,
Mrs. Mary r. Boufke and Paul w. Hoy.
BACH respectively the widow, daughter AMI
son Of the late John A. Horbaoh. The liti-
cation is a cross-claim on the part OF the
Horbachs. Some time ago they filed suits
against Sullivan, who managed the estate
Of John A. HorbRch for several years fol-
lowing Horbaoh's. death. Then Sullivan
filed an Independent suit against these
three, who are thus the original plaintiffs
in the litigation.
Acknowledgement of property, retention of
funds, carelessness and appropriating money
to his own use are some Of the charges
which the Horbaohs make. The charges
differ Ia number, though not in kind, from
those preferred in former suits.
The sum of s23,3n is asked on the first
nine causes Of the total of eleven. on the
tenth $4,000 Is asked for general injury to
the property, which. they say, Sullivan
grossly neglected and irretirevably injured.
The eleventh cause of action is a plea for
an accounting by order Of the court.

Railroad managers in Omaha do not re-
gard the strike as serious as was first
reported. Chicago and northwestern pas
senger trains from st. Pat during the
day we're running close to schedule time
and made connection in omaha with trains
for Kansas City and the west. Burlington
trains westbound have had no trouble
through Billings, Mont, where most Of
the switchmen are out because the trains
are through trains n require no switch
ing,
other roads running into ST. Paul and
Omaha have found It advisable to unload
cargoes at points outside the city limits,
where wagons have been kept in waiting.
This means an additional charge for
hauling but does not interfere with de-
livery Of goods to any considerable extent.
A. L. Mohler of Omaha, vice president of
the Union Pacific railroad, who is a men,

injured BY q team driven by Mrs. N. H.

say. She was removed from there to st,
Joseph hospital.
Mrs. Guerin says that she did not see
the approaching team until she was struck,
Mrs. LOOMS was driving at an ordinary
rate of speed and probably only the slip
perry ~pavements and the heavy snow are
to be blamed for the accident.
Mrs. Guerin suffered deep scalp wounds
and injuries to her left side and elbow,
Dr.. Conlan does not expect serious conse-
quences beyond the apparent injuries. Mrs.
Guerin suffered considerably from the loss
Of blood.
