HOLL|STER OPENS
SEPTEMBER \

The new townsite of Hollister, To-
Gated south of Twin Falls and in the
center of the Twin Falls-Salmon River
project, will be formally opened to the
public by Carey act drawing, which
will begin in Hollister at l O'Clock p.
m. on September IL, 1909. Registra-
tion books will be open in the Office OF
the Power company in Twin Falls from
September 7 to 10. Then the books
will be transferred to Holster on the
morning of the 18th there to remain
open till noon. The terms are one
fourth cash and balance in five equal
annual payments at per cent interest.
A railroad is being constructed from
Twin Falls to the Salmon river i'm
pounding dam and on to Hollister. This
road will eventually be extended into
Nevada to connect with the Pacific
system.
1t is not on record that any person
has ever lost money in one of these
Carey act townsite openings, while
many man has made lot of money
by drawing good business or res 'dence
lots in towns like Twin Falls, Jerome
and Wendell, and also in Gooding. A
number of men in Shoshone made big
money by their success in drawing lots
in Twin Falls and Jerome.
The town of Hollister is intended to
be the metropolis of the Salmon River
project, in the center of which it is To-
Gated, and it is safe guess that it will
be one of the boom towns of irrigated
Idaho.

WHEAT IN CANYON COUNTY

CALDWELL, Aug. 10. George D..
Stafford was in town today, having
just finished threshing a field of u
acres of wheat which gave his II
bushels machine measure to the acre.
The wheat is of the Australian variety
and is the first that he has ever tested.
Mr.. Stafford is among the early settlers
of this valley, locating here in 1863, and
is considered one of the successful
farmers of Canpon county. His stock
is always of the best and he never fails
to capture his share of blue ribbons at
the Conyon county fair. Besides being
an agriculurist, Mr. Stafford is one of
the successful wool growers of his To-
cality.
Engineer Hedden left this morning
for the Thousand Springs for the pur-
pose of determining the feasibility of
conducting power from that point to
the Gem irrigation district for pump
ing plant. Mr.. Hedden was accom-
panied by committee of the board of
directors of the Gem district. The dis
tance from the Thousand Springs to
the point on Snake river where the
pumping plant is to be installed is l25
miles. Statesman.

|. c. SHILLING, OF RUPERT
COMMITS SUICIDE

RUPERT, Aug. THE body of
Lemuel C. Shilling, one of the best
known pioneers of southern Idaho, was
found today in the bottom of a well
on his ranch near Rupert, with a heavy
iron wheel tied to his feet and several
gashes cut in his throat. The circum-
stances indicate that it was case of
suicide. Shilling evidently had cut
his throat with butcher knife, infiic-
ting half dozen gashes, sat down in a
chair and then laid down on the bed ex-
pecting to bleed to death.
Finding that none of the wounds was
fatal, he went out into the yard, took a
heavy iron wheel, tied the wheel to his
feet and slid down the well pipe into 20
feet of water A bloody butcher knife
was found on table in his cabin and
bis coat and spectacles were laying at
the we'll curb.
He was in comfortable circumstances
and no cause was known for his act.
1t is supposed that he was temporarily
deranged. Deceased was veteran of
the civil war and had been resident of
southern Idaho for the past 40 years.
He was brother of w. N. Shilling,
postmaster at Rupert. He was unmar-
ried. Statesman.

for at any time.
After the attorneys had made their
pleas, Judge Walters gave them a GER
tain time in which to present their
briefs, taking the case under advise
ment.
The main point brought up by the
liquor interests is that the local option
act failed to specify when the registra-
tion books should be opened and closed
and that the act was indefinite and un-
certain.
One act passed by the same legisla-
ture creating a new judicial district in
the northern part of the state was de-
clared unconstitutional on simi a r
grounds.
If Judge Walters sustains the consti-
tutionality of the act, the county COM
missioners may present other pleas why
they should not call an election under
the local option law and the final deci-
sion of the case be thus deferred for a
considerable time 1t may be week
or two yet before Judge Walters gives
his decision on the constitutionality of
the local option law.
1t is well for all concerned that this
matter is being threshed out in the
courts before an election has been
called. After Judge Wood and Judge
Walters have rendered their decisions,
only an appeal to the supreme court
will be needed to make the matter final.
