Don't get grouchy when on your way

attacked by a small boy who insists
on putting a button bearing the like
ness Of President Taft on the lapel of
your coat and demanding in return any
where from 10 to 50 cents. 1t may look
to you like a case of assault and bat
terry, but il won't be that. Don't get
mad. but smile as you reach down and
hand out the desired coin. The boy in

This is addressed TO the entire grown

NOT INJURED

Atlanta Jeweler, Hit by
Street Car, Can Soon

Regajning consciousness this morning.
William NJ. Lewis, of Atlanta, who was
run down by a Pennsylvania avenue
car near the corner OF Sixth street
northwest, and badly hurt last night,
was said by doctors Al the Emergency
Hospital not to De III a serious cOndi-
ton Mr.. Lewis is suffering. conclusion
OF the brain and bruises about the head
and body. II is expected that he will
be able to return TO his nome in Sew
days.
Either failing 10 hear the car OF mis-
judging the distance and thinking that
he could cross IL front OF 1t, Mr.. Lewis
stepped upon the track. The fender
struck and threw him TO the pavement,
and he was dragged some distance be-
fore the motOrman could bring the car
20 stop.
Threaten Motorman.
Many persons witnessed the accident,
and before the unconscious man could
be picked up a crowd gathered around
the front platform, and threatened the
motorman. Central Office Detectives
Baur and Weldon were in the vicinity
at the time, and their presence probably
prevented a riot.
While the detectives were climbing
onto the platform and attempting TO dis
perse the crowd. Hack Inspector DaW-
son was assisting in dragging Mr.. Lewis
from under the front OF the car. The
injured man was placed in an automo-
bile and hurried to the hospital.
It was not until the detectives as
sured the mob th8.s =.le motorman and
conductor were Under arrest that it
moved back sufficiently for the car to
proceed. The detectives accompanied
Motorman Hefin and Conductor Well
ford TO the end OF the route and back
to the Georgetown car barns. when they
were placed in custody TO await the
outcome of Mr.. Lewis injuries. When
II was learned this morning that Lewis
had not been fatally hurt they were
parOled in the custody OF the Capitol
Traction Company.
Testimony Varies
Persons who Witnessed the accident
told the police that the car was travel
ing at a rapid rate OF speed when it
struck Lewis. There was a difference
in opinion among the passengers as to
whether the motorman had rung his
gong.
Mr.. Lewis. who is thirty-eight years
old, is a member OF the jewelry firm
OF Shaul & MAY, Of Atlanta. and has
been IN Washington on business for sew

from the St James 10 the Metropolitan

IRON harvesting considerable amount
OF grain. While at his place Nj. Dem
ham showed us and weighed before our
eyes 80 potatoes, that he had grown
this year, that turned the scales at ex
actly LOG pounds, and the balance Of the
crop weren't small ones, either. Mr..
Denham has very pleasant home and
an estimable family. His little baby
daughter accompanied us on the trip
up the valley.
Stopping at the home Of Mr.. J. T.
Turner we had very pleasant visit
with that gentleman. Mrs. Turner be-
ing away in Boise on a visit to her
daughter, ]. T. was keeping bachelor
quarters, and as they were preparing
chicken for dinner there is little likeli-
hood of him going hungry before his es-
Unable lady's retdrn-provided the
chickens hold out. Mr. Turner is one
Of the oldest settlers in the valley and
his wife was the first white woman to
come to that section. He has been
subscriber to the Avalanche and Mug
get continuously since 1869. Mr.. Turn
er passed through all the Indian trou-
bles of early days and met with many
narrow escapes. He has been very sue
cessful in life financially and is the
owner of 800 acres of some of the choic-
est land in the valley, and owns more
cattle than any other man in the
county. WhiIe he could amply afford
to settle down to life Of rest and enjoy
ment, Mr.. Turner finds il impossible to
retire from business activity and so still
personally manages his extensive stock
and farming interests. From his land
he cuts annually 900 tons of hay and
harvests large quantity. of grain.
Quite lot OF his land is used for pas
ture. As an illustration Of the produc-
tiveness of the soil Mr.. Turner stated
that he threshed 81 bushels of wheat off
less than an acre of ground go sacks Of
potatoes off less than one-fourth an
acre, and oats that weighed 46 pounds
to the bushel. To Mr.. and Mrs. Turner
were born two children, a son and
daughter. The son is a prosperous
rancher in the valley and has family.
On his place is an artesian well 600 feet
deep that flows continuously.
Ben f. Royse has choice 40 acres
in the valley which he is improving and
will eventually turn from hay land into
! fruit. Mr.. Royse is an enterprising
gentleman and sees a great future in
store for his section. The railroad sur
vey runs just outside his field.
After viewing he upper part Of this
wonderfully fertile valley and visiting a
flowing well, on a place formerly owned
by Mr.. Denham, we returned to town
feeling very grateful to Mr.. Denham for
the courtesy extended in showing us
around.
There were many other places and in
cidents that we would like to mention
but lack of space prevents at this time.

More men have been put on and the
work of developing the different veins is
being done as rapidly as possible. On
the 965, the ledge has improved consider
ably both in size and values OF the ore.
The HOO vein has been opened to the
north Of crosscut tunnel and shows much
Improvement. Assays on ore taken from
both these veins show that the ore bodies
are increasing in values as the drifts ex-
tend north. On the 1900, or Banner

when the ledge had widened to over 10
feet and timbering was necessary, which
has caused some delay waiting for tim

this property brightens. The work OF

BRUNEAU VALLEY.

Following up the Snake river for sew
eral miles from Grandview, we finally
emerged from the valley and crossed
over into the famous Bruneau Valley,
our destination, and as the vision Of
this beautiful spot in natures handi-
work was first presented to view we
were thrilled with appreciative delight
and keen sense Of the loveliness OF
home happiness and contentment, with
the evident prosperity depicted on
every hand, and Of the prolific growth
OF vegetation, cereals and mountainous
stacks of alfalfa and wild hay every
where visible. Well kept and produc-
tive orchards, neat and comfortable
farm dwellings with pleasant surround
ings told of peace and plenty within.
The sight is inspiring and gives mag
nificent panoramic view of natures
transformation of barren arid lands,
with the aid of water, into productive
and fertile valleys that know no failure
of crops from drouth, hot winds and
other sources that so often play havoc
with the harvests of other less favored
sections. The soil of the Bruneau Val
ley is OF such character that with the
aid of water and the rays Of warm sun
shine it produces a highly prolific veg
etable growth and natures to the high
est ideal OF perfection almost anything
put in the ground, and more especially
fruits, berries and alfalfa for which pro
ducts the soil is peculiarly adapted. 1
is virgin soil and is mixed with alluv
ial matter and other beneficial elements
at first hand from nature.
Crossing the Bruneau river, with tn
fragrance of new mown hay scentini
the air, we enter truly into the yer.
heart Of the valley OF sunshine, alfalf
and honey, where water is king, tn
sun the queen, and all nature works il
harmony with the happy and lowell
surroundings.
A mile and half ride after crossin
the river and we make our initial bo,
to the prosperous and thriving littl
city Of Bruneau and its hospitable an
enterprising citizens. The location I
the town is an ideal one for city, wit
good drainage and every convenienc
for excellent sanitary conditions, an
aside from being the natural metropol
of the valley, Bruneau is also naturall
