GOOD BLOOD PAYA
The Lesson That the Western Stock
Show Association 10 Trying to
Teach.

There is an old saying in England
among stockmen that the bull is Dalf
the herd" This is as true as any old
saw ever uttered, but the stockmen
OF this country are still learning this
fact by experience. The main object
OF the National Western Stock Show
Is to educate the stockmen of the West
to the fact that there is good profit In
good blood and In order that they may
profit by the lesson In practical way
the association has enlisted the assist
ance OF the Pure Blood Record Asso-
citation to provide few really choice
animals In the various breeds that can
be sold to western breeders at a low
price. The public sales to be held at
the stock show In Denver during the
week OF January 18th. are selected
from the best herds in America and
are sold not for the purpose Of making
big profit. but to introduce the breeds
into the West. The buyers make their
own prices. The animals are selected
by committee and are not only typi.
cal OF the breed they represent. but are
choice individuals.
The American Shorthorn Breeders
Association will offer in this sale about
fiity.five head OF choice young bulls.

cert given by the ladies of the l. c. s.
The first on the program was Mr.. J. T.

with vocal solo, "The Lost Chord"
Mr.. Bainbridge's voice is exceptionally
good and he received much hearty ap-
plause.
Second, was vocal solo, THE
Dream by Miss Barry, which was
very much enjoyed. The next was to
have been an instrumental solo by Mr..
Ahern, but he not being able to be
present, the audience was favored with
a sweet vocal duet by Mrs. Minnick
and Miss Barry. Then came vocal
solo by Master Dick Thompson, who
received great deal Of applause. Miss
Mary Wynn recited 1.-THE Wreck of the
Hesperus," in a very creditable man
ner. Then the audience listened to a
very pretty duet, Bring Me Letter

CAVE FOUND NEAR hurley.
Blow Hole Leads to Discovery Of Nam.
moth Underground Chambers.

A cave which promises to rival the
Mammoth Cave of Kentucky has been
discovered on the desert claim OF Mrs.
j. R. Glenn about six miles west of
Burley and mile south Of the Snake
river The existence of shaft or
'blow-hole" in that vicinity has been
known for number of years, but until
last Sunday no one had ever been suf-
fficiently interested to clear an open
ing to the passage beneath
The place was visited last Sunday by
w. D. Kenyon, J. R. Glenn, George
Schulze and /. G. Hale, and by the use
Of dynamite and crowbars they were
soon able to effect an opening suf-
ficiently large to admit of passage into
the realms below.
After descent OF several feet 1t was
found that the passage extended SOUTH
west on a gradual slope, and by the aid
of lantern two or three members OF
the party penetrated the great cavern
for a distance of several hundred feet,
their exploration disclosing the fact
that this great underground opening is
composed of a series of caves and
chambers of mammoth proportions.
Several of the chambers entered
were found to be very large, while the
ceilings, which were studded with
large boulders, were from Is to 40 feet
high. The floors throughout the var
ious chambers explored were covered
to depth Of two or three inches with
fine lava ash and on emerging from
the entrance after their trip the MEM
bers of the party had the appearance
of having encountered genuine dust
storm. A strong current of air was
perceptible throughout the various
parts of the cave visited, leading the
members of the party to believe that
a large opening exists at some distant
point
The "blow-hole" which lead to the
discovery of this mammoth cave Is In a
solid body of lava rock which crops
out in places along low ridge for
many miles between the Minidoka and
Twin Falls projects.
In discussing the matter last Monday
with Bulletin representative Mr..
Kenyon stated that extensive prepara-
tons would be made this week for
thorough exploration of the cave next
Sunday. Several thousand feet of rope
and number of torches will be pro-
vided and other precautions taken to
guard against possible accident to
those entering this great unexplored
cavern in the depths of one of the
great lava beds so common throughout
the Snake river valley. That further
explorations may result in the discOv-
cry of an underground lake or solve
the systery surrounding the disappear
ance of Lost river many miles to the
northward, is the opinion of many
who have become interested in the dis
covery of this cave.-Burley Bulletin.
