CHAPTER xIx-continued

For the. dilettante philanthropists
who posed amid the picturesque
squnlor OF the slums he had only the
keenest shaft of ridicule. 1t was his
insight that made those who Were
taking up the work In earnest seek
his advice. While he had not gone
into 1t in person. he was coguizant Of
every step taken, and often. by his
shrewd counsel. balanced the senti.
mentality OF overenthusiasm.
The young men were waiting to
consult him as TO the best way of
dealing with pair OF. phiianthropic
cranks who persisted In thrusting
themselves into the work and who. by
their obtuseness. were undoing the
best results Of the past year. While
waiting for Derring and discussing
the situation, they had drifted into
talking OF his fitness for the work and
of the strange delicacy that kept him

A Trip to the Grand View
and .Bruneau Country.

Mr.. M. M. Krieg, sheriff Of this coun-
ty, together with the Nugget man, Mr.. L.
D. Hanson, took trip to Bruneau, last
Saturday, arriving home again little be-
fore midnight Monday. The outlook of
that part of the county through which
we travelled have never looked brighter
than at the present time. Work has been
auspiciously begun again on the recon
struction Of the Grand View Land and
Irrigation Company's dam and canals
which gave way last spring and the indi-
cations are now that with this new con-
Germ back Of it, it win be pushed to com
pletion as rapidly as possible, and it is ex-
pected to have the water turned on with
in the next thirty days to reclaim a great
area of now desert but before long to be
made one of the most fertile and produc-
tive sections of land to be found within
the boundaries Of our county And in ad-
dition to this, the other reclamation un-
dertakings completed at Bruneau has al
ready demonstrated that it is one of the
foremost agricultural districts in the
county. They have fine lands and a
plentiful supply of water which, when
conserved and properly distributed will
bring about a change in our agricultural
industries which will be as magical as the
transformations being wrought at many
other points in the valley of Bruneau and
Snake rivers. These, together with the
mining industry, show Owyhee county to
be keeping pace with other portions Of
our fiourishing commonwealth in the de-
velopment of its varied industries.

John Turmes Drowned in
Snake River.

John Turmes, prominent cattleman
of this county and for number of years
in the butcher business here with our
townsman, Mr.. Fred Ulmer, was drown
ed in the Snake river early last Monday
evening, while bringing herd Of cattle
across that stream at point between
Gufey and Walters ferry. There were
four men with Mr.. Turmes at the time of
the accident. They were, George Gro
cheron, George Duval, Jr., Emil Smith
and brother Of Mr. Turmes. But very
meager reports are to be had here as to
how the accident took place but it is sur
missed that the horse which he was riding
was overturned in the stream and in some
unaccountable way stunned him, for Mr..
Turmes was good swimmer and would
have undoubtedly got to shore had some
thing of that kind not happened.
The body has not been recovered up to
the present writing, but men are busily
engaged in setting off powder in different
places in an effort to raise the body.
Deceased was man of quiet manner
and most Icvable disposition, who drew
hosts of friends to him, and it is with
sorrow that our entire community is
bowed in grief over this most distressing
and fatal accident.

THE BANNER.

The rich strike which was made on this
property recently in the 100 and which
was later encountered in the 200, con-
tinues to show up the same high grade
of ore and the indications now are that it
is permanent. Men are busily engaged
in developing this last strike, and, SO far,
it has proven itself to be fully as rich as
when it was first encountered. Gold can
be seen with the naked eye all through
the rock and there remains no doubt now
to the minds of all who have seen this
that with little more time and money
spent in opening up this property more
fully, it viii reveal itself to be the best
proposition that has ever been started in
the camp.
