Burned by Explosion.

Dave Irwin, expert from Salt Lake
City who has been driving the Earring
Realty company car the past week, was
burned about the neck Thursday even
ing while on a long drive with DR..
Moth. They were on their return trip
of sixty mile drive when it began TO
get dark and they were getting ready
to light the lamps. The lights in this
new machine had not been used and
some little trouble was experienced in
getting them started. While blowing
through the conveying tube the gas
exploded burning Mr.. Irwin about the
neck. The doctor dressed the burns,
the lights were adjusted and he con-
tinued the drive. While the burn was
rather painful, it is not serious.

hopes TO gain support for his own
cause. Barney is good fellov-every-
one admits that, but ne has been un-
fortunate, during this ante-primary
campaign, in attracting to his support
certain elements and certain factions
which cannot help but injure him in
his campaign. This has happened,
probably, without Mr.. O'Neil's know

nevertheless. On the other hand, Mr..
Brady, our present governor, has pur-
sued the even tenor of his way; mas

big Jim" Webster Voices Opinion
of Many Counties.

]. o. Webster, familiarly known
throughout this section of Idaho as
big Jim" gave out an interview to
the Pocatello Tribune few days since
on the political situation in this sec
ton, in which ne truly said:
''In the matter. of the governorship
there is no question in my mind but
that Fremont county, one Of the larg-
est in the state, has already fixed up
on its choice. Disaffection has prac-
tically disappeared within the Repub-
lican party-the dominant and majority
party in Fremont-and it appears a
foregone conclusion that any attempt
to bring about change in political
complexion of the present state ad-
ministration will not meet with popular
approval. What is true of Fremont
county is true also of practically every
other southeastern county.
Il was rather amused the other day
to read in one Of our Fremont county
papers a statement that Barney 0'Neil,
for whom have the greatest admira-
tion and respect as man, would carry
the southeast. When it is remember
ed that every move made by the in
cumbent governor, both in the cam
paign for his election and since he as
sumed the office of governor, has been
endorsed by State Chairman O'Neil, /

April Fool Party.

Miss White delightfully."- entertained
her eighth grade with an April Fool
Party last night. The evenings amuse-
ments were full Of April surprises and
produced much merriment. An April
Fool lunch was also served but some
thing better served to take away that
hungry feeling. Various prizes for
quick wittedness as well for those not
thinking so quickly were given.

Returns from a Kansas Visit.

John Toevs returned, last week, from
a seven weeks visit to his old home at
Newton, Kansas. Mr.. Toevs came
here from Newton three years ago and
settled on 100 acres of sage brush near
Aberdeen. In short time the sage
brush had disappeared and crops were
growing. The second year fine two
story residence replaced the temporary
residence he had been occupying, trees
were growing, and home like ap-
pearance was everywhere. He now
has one of the finest quarter sections
on the tract. He was glad TO get
home. Idaho beats Kansas ne said,
and after a residence in both states he
should know.

Reilly Atkinson, secretary Of the
Boise Commercial Club, and of the
League Of Southern Idaho Commercial
Clubs, will be here April Z. He is
one Of the most loyal and patriotic
boosters Of the many which the state
proudly boasts, and will be warmly
welcomed by all who have had the
pleasure Of his acquaintance. A re-
ception will probably be held in his
honor, and a rousing address may be
expected. Mr.. Atkinson is one of the
coming men of the state.

The Aberdeen Meeting.

A meeting will be held at Aberdeen
today, between the owners of water
rights and the company, looking 10 the
turning over Of the canal system TO the
settlers for operation and management.
The matter is one which will meet q
divided sentiment. Some will strongly
favor and others violently oppose the
proposition, and all will doubtless be
actuated by honorable motives in the
positions they take. 1t is a PROPOSE
ton which has merit on both sides, and
should therefore be met with candor,
whatever the decision may be, no i'll
feeling should follow.
The Press has been unofficially in
formed that the company will make q
very reasonal proposal to the settlers,
one making them secure, and one open
ing to them advantages which they do
not now, and can not enjoy under COM
pany management and control. The
features of their proposal were not dis
closed, but if they have the merit Of
fairness and security to the interests Of
the settlers, there are strong reasons
to urge why the transfer should be
made as speedily as possible.
1t is to be hoped that the matter will
find a satisfactory settlement, to the
end that developement may proceed
more rapidly than in the past, and ev-
cry acre of land under the canal be
brought under cultivation.

A Model Home.

d. Z. Hooker has, just completed a
model six room bungalow into which he
will remove his family in the next few
days. The arrangement is convenient
decorations tasty, and the structure
modern throughout. Mr. Hooker is
very fruitful in tasty designs, and of
the many homes he has built here. all
are different, and all are artistic in de-
sign and finish. The style OF his new
home Is different from any in town and
compares very favorably with the best
residences in town. Z. H. Blacknore

formed partnership to Go painting
and decorating, have the painting con-
tract, and the work they are doing Is
greatly TO their credit.

EVERYONE SATISFIED.
Play Wednesday Evening Among the
Best Presented Here.

The Lorch & Sutton's company pre-
sented "St. Elmo" at the auditorium
Wednesday evening to a good crowd
and pleased everyone present. The
play to begin with is of the very best
and has only been on the stage short
time, and the company presenting it
did so in first class shape. While talk
ing with President Ellinger of the
auditorium he stated that this play
had given such excellent satisfaction
that he shall attempt to book the Be
lasco company which is playing st.
Elmo" in the larger cities Of the middle
west. This company is one of many
under the direct management Of Mr.
Belasco and his reputation as manag-
err of high class players is far reaching.
Mr.. Ellinger could not state positively
that he would be able to secure this
company for the American Falls Audit
orium but is going to do all he can with
that end in view. Should he succeed
in getting this attraction it would be
the first play under Belasco manage
ment to visit US and we predict that
the capacity of the auditorium would
be taxed. If this company comes to
American Falls it will be some time in
May as they are already booked so far
ahead.
