Marks Epoch in History.
The event marks an epoch in the
naval and diplomatic history of the
United States AS a mere physical
achievement 1t is thing of enormous
proportions. AS a test of naval eff
cheney it has shown the sailing value
OF the fleet and demonstrated to
many peoples the power of the United
States and its equipment for war. 1t
has been a sort of gymnastic exercise
with the big stick. 1t has given the
navy department the results of an
experience that will be invaluable in
the upbuilding of future fleets and
brought out defects that must be over
come AS a diplomatic messenger it
has disslpated international misunder-
standings and brought closer in friend
" relations the United States and
many Of the worlds countries.
The successful completion of the
cruise without noteworthy accident or
untoward incident, from either a naval
or political point of view, is regarded
by all nations as history making from
several points of view. Never before
has any battle command made such a
long, continuous voyage. Never be-
fore has any battle command circum-
navigated the globe, whether in one
or separate voyages. Never before
has any feet or armada of any of the
countries of the world visited so many
ports, SO many countries, under so
many flags And never was any naval
command received with such wide and
universal acclaim and enthusiasm OF
friendly feeling and spirit of welcome
as marked the progress of the Ameri
can battle feet at every one Of its
twoscore OF more stops on the cruise
around the world.

The Boy Is Sane.

That Frederick w. d. Horst, of
Montague, who tried to have his son
Hugo, 10, committed to an insane
asylum. had quarreled with the boy,
was brought out when the court de-
MED the application, following the
testimony Of doctors that the lad was
sane.
His father in petitioning, asserted
that the lads mental faculties had
become impaired following his being
struck over the head with a club by
a school teacher five years ago. That
he did not name the teacher and had
made no charges aroused suspicion
and an investigation followed.

Want the Wardenship.

Gov. Warner and Senator Atkins
will go TO Jackson for a short visit at
the state prison. Both say II is an
informal visit and has no bearing on
the investigation now going on there.
The governor says he has had about
20 applications for the wardenship,
but is discouraging all of the appli-
cants from securing petitions or 60

be considered until the present in
vestigation is completed.

Why Not Have a Park In Rich
field?---Think 1t Over

Richfield is growing and growing
rapidly, and land is increasing in
price at a rapid rate, but before land
gets too high the citizens and those
interested in the future Of the town
should do some figuring. In your
old home back east, they have parks,
race tracks and ball grounds, but
nine out of ten of these same towns
have waited until land was so high
that they could not afford to buy a
tract of land close in, but had to go
out from town from one to ten miles,
before they could get hold of a piece
of land that they could raise the
money to pay for. Now will the citi-
zens of Richfield make the same mis-
take, or will they get together and
get site for park and fair ground
close to town while the price of land
is yet within their reach.
There is nothing that we could do,
that would be of more benefit to the
town and surrounding country than
to organize a fair and park asso-
citation. A fair always creates a good
natured rivalry among the ranchers,
to see who can get first prize on
colt, calf, hog or a pen of poul-
try, which causes the class of stock
in a neighborhood to be increased
until nothing but pure bred stock is
raised.
Each farmer tries to see who can
raise the best fruit, the best vegeta-
bles or the best grain, until it gets
to be that they will not try to raise
anything but the best, of whatever
they plan, and the country becomes
noted for it's fine stock, fine fruits,
fine vegetables and fine grain, thus
deriving great deal of advertising.
And this same advertising will in
crease the value of your property, un-
til the fondest hopes of the most
sanguine will be realized.
Then think of the pleasure to be
derived from being able on sultry |
afternoon, to be able to go to a
beautiful grassy, shady park, and |
have few hours of actual enjoyment |
or sit in cool grand stand and watch
an exciting ball game or some good
racing.
What do you think of the PROPOSE
tion, readers; is it a good one or not,
give the matter a second thought, at
least, and maybe good may come of
a mere thought. Don't be afraid to
talk this matter up with your neigh
Dor, he may be as anxious for some
thing of this kind as you are.

has never yet been overstocked in
Idaho.
In fact we have an ideal country
with climate that is unexceled, in
habited with an honest, upright class
of people yho are always glad to ex-
tend to the new settler a hearty wei
come, if he comes among them with
the intention of living an honest, up
right life, and we can say to all such
that if you are looking for home,
where you can have health, happiness
and prosperity, come to Richfeld,
the town with as bright and promis-
ing a future before it, as any town
on earth.
To those who like to hunt and
fish, this is the spot you are looking
for. The Little Wood river furnish
es excellent fishing ground, as does
Silver creek, which is but a few
miles from town and is noted all
over the state as a wonderful trout
stream. Small game, is plentiful,
while back in the mountains, within
a days drive from the city, deer,
bear and other large game is plenti-
full, which makes this a paradise for
the sportsman.

RICHFIELD'S CLIMATE.
Somewhat IdeaI-But That's Not All
High Glass of Inhabitants.

Richfield is blessed with climate
that is second to none in the entire
Northwest; our winters are mild and
dry, with just snow enough to make
it pleasant and the thermometer very
seldom goes below zero. The springs
are early, as a usual thing, which
gives the rancher a long season in
which to raise crop. The summers
are pleasant and, although about
two months in the year, we have ex-
ceedingly hot weather, the nights are
cool and pleasant, enabling one to
sleep between blankets.
The farming land around Richfield
is very productive, and any kind of
crop that can be grown in Idaho
can be raised here, successfully. There
is an excellent range, that is well
watered, within easy reach of the
town, which makes the stock raising
industry a pleasant and profitable
business, and there are thousands of
sheep within a few miles of the
town that in the past few years have
made their owners Independent for
life.
Horses and cattle, that can not be
beat anywhere, roam the range, near
er the city, where the bunch grass
grows to a height of about eighteen
inches, insuring the citizens the best
meat that can be bought any where.
Hogs do we'll in this section, and
one does not need to worry about
getting overstocked, for fear of dis
ease as hog colera is unknown in
Lincoln county, and ready market is
found for all you can raise at the
top prices.
Poultry is easily raised, and the
prices paid are much greater than in
the east and the &c t. ssssss bic raising
much less, and the poultry market

EARNED HIS CONTRACT
Good Work in RichfieId is Rewarded
in Dietrich.

Contractor Hayden has been aw-
arded the job for the masonry and
plastering work for the new Die
trich hotel, which was started this
week. Mr.. Hayden has done a lot
of work here in Richfield-has done
it under difficulties that would daunt
any but the most strenuous souls. He
had some contracts here, and while
they were being carried on he was
taken i'll, lying for 13 weeks in the
hospital from which he came out on
ly short time ago. He has earned
a reputation for good work, enough
to give him the contract for all the
work in his line for the magnificent
Dietrich building. He is down at
Dietrich now, getting ready to start
the foundations for the building, the
excavation is already pretty well fin
ished
The finishing of the Richfeld wat
er works pumping station is one of
the nice jobs done here by Mr. Hay
den. The building is of rough lava
rock, laid up hit and miss, finished
with white brick, and the irregular
stones pointed up with black mortar
1t gives a beautiful spidery effect
that is distinctly creditable to both
the architect, w. o. Pearce, and the
Mr. Hayden.

PROVING UP POINTS

You are required to reside on your
land from the day your final proof
appears until it has been published
five times in the weekly paper.
You must be sure that the two wit
nesses you use know that you are on
your land the day publication of in
tention to make final proof appears.
Your witnesses will be required to
testify under oath that they have seen
in your laterals sufficient water TO
irrigate your crop
They are not required to swear
that they have seen you irrigate your
crops.
You are required to have water
in your laterals before you publish
intention to make final proof.
You must have a growing crop
amounting to one-eighth OF your tract
and have water in your laterals be-
fore you prove up.
Your witnesses are required to tes-
tify as to the date they first saw you
living on your land, and as to when
you had water turned in your Ia
terals or on your crops.
You must, before proving up, have
a permanent house on your land,
which, of course, means tent will
not suffice. A 12x14 board house will
serve the purpose.

We, the Board of Inquiry, assem-
bled to determine the cause of en-
gine 1901 derailing 1921 feet west
of M. p. Is on the Idaho Division of
the Oregon Short Line after visiting
the scene of derailment, inspecting all
conditions, returned to Kemmerer,
conducted an investigation at that
point and find as follows:
Engine 1901 in charge of Engin-
eer Baker, Fireman Ray Walker, left
Kemmerer at 2:1O p. m. on May 26,
1903, and was backing to Fossil to
help N. Sc They had ample time
to make this run, there being no oc-
casion whatever for any hurry. The
first train due was No Z which was
following them and was not due to
leave Kemmerer until 800 p. msWe
find that there was no indication of
fast running. The engine left the
track on a five degree curve on a Z
per cent descending grade. The ele-
vation of the track on this curve war
les from AZ" to 5 ". We find that
there was a joint one-half inch low
on inside of curve 20 feet from the
place where the engine mounted the
rail on the outside of curve. In ad-
dition to thas, we find that the out
side rail was slightly curve worn. The
inside ball of the pail had rolled,
making the gauge one-eighth inch
tight at the low joint. The line of
curve was good and the surface fair
We further find that engine 1901 had
about five tons of coal, 60 per cent
of which was on the sides above pit.
1t also had almost full tank of wa
ter, the capacity of said tank being
5000 gallons. 1t also had side
bearing clearance of three-quarters
of an inch on each side. The tank |
was inspected just before leaving
Kemmerer by District Foreman Lam
bert and Engineer Baker. We figure |
that the center OF gravity of the tank /
was above normal. This on account |
of 60 per cent of the coal being on
the top and sides of tank above the
pit
Our conclusion is that combina-
tion of the unfavorable conditions
enumerated was the cause
of the derailment.

SOMEWHAT LOCAL.

DR.. F. c. Brereton, the dentist will
make regular trips to Richfield here
after. Write or call upon him for
dates of appointment. He will be at
the Richfield hotel Wednesday. June

V. V. Bower, the land man, this
week closed a deal, whereby F. A.
Wilcox becomes the owner of lot 12,
owned by George Buck. This gives
Mr.. Wilcox a SO foot front lot on
Main street and he will probably err
ect a good business house on his lots
in the near future. The citizens of
Richfield have faith in the future of
the town and lot is hardly placed
on the market until some of the pro-
perty owners grab it.
A. M. McClenahan, of Greeley, Co
dorado, who ownes 80 acres of land
joining the townsite on the west,
has arrived in Richfield and is erect
ing a neat and comfortable house on
the east side of his place. Mr.. Nc
Clenahan expects his family to arrive
from Colorado in about two weeks
and they will take up their residence
on their place.
The young peoples meeting, that
was organized two weeks ago, is
meeting with a great deal of en-
couragement, and meet at the school
house every Sunday evening.
Mrs. l.. H. Brooks of Davenport,
Iowa, and two sons, F. D. and w. G.
Brooks, of Plattsmouth, Nebraska,
were registered at the Richfield hotel
the latter part of last week. They
were looking over the country with
view of locating and were SO well
pleased with the country, that each of
the sons purchased good farm not
far from the city. There is very few
people who look over the Richfield
tract with view of locating, but
what buy before they leave.
The men who have had the con-
tract of plowing and grading the
streets, completed their work Satur-
day, and they did g'e' pob ,f
It. They were .gei; Supplied with
good teams and had good ontjit OF
plows and scraperi and pushed the
WORK from start to finish, and ac-
complished the work here in an ex-
ceedingly short time, for the amount
of earth that had to lie moved.
Walter Boone, who came to Rich
field about three weeks ago, from
Seattle, has purchased 40 acres of
land of the Idaho Irrigation Co., has
bought team, wagon and harness,
commenced the erection of a house
and his place and settled down to
make his future hime. He says he
looked over a great deal of country
before buying and likes the looks of
Richfield and vicinity, better than
he saw

locating. Mr.. Alexander is a School
teacher and will probably locate in
this section of the country as he is
well pleased with the looks Of things
around Richfield.
B. X. Prestel, a prominent bust
ness man of Payette, was in the city
Tuesday looking over the country
with a view of locating. Mr. Prestel
like all others who look over the
Richfield trast, was we'll pleased with
the town and surrounding country.

with the grip, has about recovered.

Mr. Taylor and wife went down
to Shoshone Tuesday to attend the

A few shade trees make a great
difference in the appearance of a
town and it will only. be a matter of
a short time until Richfield will have
plenty of them, as the citizens are
anxious to make this one Of the most
attractive places in Southern idaho,
and they have the push and vim to
carry out anything they undertake. A
few knockers in tow can do
great deal of harm BIT there is none
agree with anything but boosters.
