Hegan's part, wonder and intense

The dog catcher jerked a stubby
thumb in the direction of bedrag-

accustomed all its life to luxury

ANYTHING FROM WOOD.
Shop in This City Equipped to Manu-
facture All Kinds of Wood
Work.

A visit to the wood working estab-
lishment on the south side, under the
management of C. E. Petro, is well
worth the time it takes. Recently
machinery of various kinds has been
added and it is safe to say this city now
has as we'll equipped shop of this kind
as can be found in southern Idaho.
Among the machinery recently
installed is self feeding rip saw, and
is so constructed that it does away with
all danger to the operator-no more
fingers sawed off with this style. A
piece of timber is laid upon the receiy-
ing table, which is set to the size de-
sired, and the machine does the rest.
Dot only does this invention lessen the
danger, but is more accurate in every
particular, The planning machine is
also of the latest kind and has an
attachment with which all kinds of
mouldings can be made.
1t takes nearly ten horse power to
operate the machinery now used and is
treat to visit this shop and see these
laborsaving devices doing the work of
skilled labors.

ACCIDENT In LOCAL YARDS.
While Switching Friday Morning Car
Was Run Off the Track lnjur-
ing a Man.

About eight o'clock Friday morning
a train crew of the o. S. l.. was switch
ing in the yards here and while spotting
cars on the mill track bumped into a
car of lumber at the Weeter sheds and
put it over the grade into the street.
Earl Bailey, employed by the Weeter
company, was working in the car at
the time received some light but pain
full injuries.
The track is built on grade at this
point and the crew were spotting cars
at the upper end. In kicking these
cars, after being uncoupled from the
engine, they gained such speed the
hrakemen could not hold them and they
struck with such force that the lumber
car was pushed over the obstruction at
the end of the track.
Several men were unloading brick
from cars above the shed but they were
warned in time to get out. Mr.. Bailey
was unable to jump from the car on
account of the lumber in the doorway,
and when the crash came many hundred
feet of lumber was piled upon him.
People who saw the accident began a
search for Mr.. Bailey and found him ir
partly unconscious condition. He
was taken to the Smiths pharmacy
where DR.. Moth examined him anC
found the young man had received only
number of bruises.
This is one of the unexplainable
accidents and the unfortunate can cal
himself really fortunate.

More Fine Potatoes.

F. j. Ernst, residing in the dry farm
ing district near Yuma, brought to
David Burrell sample of potatoes
grown by him. He has three acre
field of these and they are of the quail
ity and size that demand price on the
market. Five of these weighing four
and quarter pounds, the largest one
tipping the scales at one pound and
measuring 143x8 inches. Then in the
same class comes E. E. White, of this
vicinity, with some samples of Early
Ohios. These are of excellent quality
and between the two samples there is
no choice.

Only Two States.

A. f. Hit, government statistician
in the department of agriculture, hav-
ing just been investigating crop condi-
tions in this state, states that the gem
eral conditions were good and the farm
ers prosperous, but the fruit condition
is about the same as in other states.
Mr.. Hit has just received from
Washington, D. c., the full report of
the yield per acre of winter wheat
grown in the different states. Taking
the crop in the entire state, the crop in
Idaho averaged 20 bushels to the acre.
The average last year was 80 bushels

FROM HIDE TO HARNESS.
In Two Months Factory For This Pur.
poss Will be in Running Order
Here.

About year ago c. j. Hughes came
to this town to look over the situation
with view to establishing a tannery
and harness factory here. He carefully
surveyed the situation and when he
returned again to his eastern home he
took with him sample of both our
spring and river water. "'This PROPOSE
tion of water" says Mr.. Hughes, lis
the first and foremost thing in connec-
ton with tannery." He had these
samples tested by several chemists and
they each pronounced either of these
as containing no properties injurious
to the tanning of hides. Not only did
Mr.. Hughes investigated here but
other points in this and adjoining states,
but found conditions here the highest
character and has returned to establish
the plant.
A site has been given the company,
near the river where building 175x36
will be constructed of concrete in which
will be installed the latest machinery
for this class of work.
This means pay roll from the start
of at least S120 per day, basing the
estimate on an output of fifteen harness
each day. Within two months Mr..
Hughes expects to be turning the
weeels of this enterprise and with his
26 years experience in this line of work
says there is hardly a possibility a
smaller output of the factory. He
bases his faith of success upon the fact
that it is to be "From Hide to Har-
ness" works, this doing away with SC
much expense experienced by others ir
the line.
Thirty people will be employed at the
start which means no less than twenty
new families for our growing city.
The dreams and hopes of our citizens
are fast being realized.

week from Reilly Atkinson, secretary
of the Boise Commercial club, in which
it is stated that Sept. 18th to 18th has
been set aside as Southern Idaho
Week" at the Seattle fair, and it is
the desire to have special train called
Southern Idaho Special" arrive in
Seattle on the 13th In order to do
this it is necessary to have all who con-
template taking in the fair during this
month, notify either our local secretary
or Mr.. Atkinson, at Boise. The ex-
penses will be practically the same as
travelling singly with no change of cars
at Portland. The train will contain
Pullmans and diner. If you wish to
join the southern Idaho crowd let it be
known as soon as possible.

The state of Washington averages
this year 25.8 bushels per acre; last
year 24.5 bushels and for 10 consecutive
years 25.4 bushels.
Oregon this year has an average of
q bushels per acre; last year the

Compared with the states of the
middle west, Idaho ranks far ahead,
beating the boasted agricultural state
of Missouri by a great margin. The
report shows that the average yield of
winter wheat per acre in Missouri this
year was 14.7 bushels; last year 10
bushels and for an average of 10 years,
1873 bushels per acre.
Ohio, one of the great grain produc-
ers of the middle states this year pro-
duced l5.9 bushels per acre. Last year
the average was 16 bushels per acre
and for 10 years the average has been
14.8 bushels.
1 Only two states in the union are
ahead of Idaho on the average yield,
Montana and Wyoming, both of which
have a slight lead, but such small
amount of grain is grown in these
states, they are not classed as grain
states.

Hops and Hungarian Grass.

From the fertile valley of Rockland
continues to come more and wonderous
exhibits. Among those recently placed
in the collection at Mr.. Drvid Burrell' s
office are samples of Hungarian grass
and hops brought in by Homer Pease.
The seed from which sprang these
samples and lots like them, was sown
May 1st. The samples of Hungarian
grass, hog millet and string beans from
A. A. Friessen, who lives little nearer
this city, are more evidences of the
worth of irrigated land in these parts.
