FIFTEEN MILLIONS
FOR A RESERVOIR
$15,00O,000 for a Reservoir
Near Blackfoot---Steamers
Can Operate Along Snake
River Plains-..Biggest Res
ervoir Yet Undertaken.

American Falls Press
information comes to the Press
from very reliable source that the
engineers have approved every de-
tail of the big dam which it is pro-
posed to build at American Falls and
that on the day the project was ap-
proved $5,500,00O in cash was paid
over in Chicago, and that the balance
of ten or eleven millions required to
complete the greatest irrigation un-
dertaking in history, will be immedi-
ately forthcoming. By the dam it is
proposed to raise the water level of
Snake river at American Falls thirty
four feet, creating a reservoir several
miles wide in places, and extending
up the Portneuf nearly to Pocatello
ahd up Snake river to Blackfoot or
beyond. The dam will make possible
the reclamation of 100000 acres of
land in southern Idaho.

HEARD OF
DR.. HARRINGTON
Brilliant Man and a Genius
Is Being Sacrificed So
Once Lived in The Grove
City.

People of Blackfoot will be inter
ested in hearing the latest we have
heard about w. L. Harrington, who
made a sudden disappearance from
here just two years ago. We men
toned about year ago that he had
made application for position-any
position--as teacher in the schools
through a teachers agency in Mis-
souri,. He was short of funds, and
anxious to get employment.
About two months ago he made a
similar application at teachers
agency in Chicago and in stating the
range of salary he would be willing
to accept, he fixed it at anything from
$45 month up. His appearance was
described as "seedy" and had the
outward signs of belonging to the
down and out class.
There is a sad lesson in this mans
career as we have seen it. He seems
to have been well raised and well
educated but suffered disappoint-
ment in something, whether in matri-
mony or something else we are un-
able to say, but he sought to bury
his disappointment in some unnatural
and unchristian like way, whether
in travel and high living, in leading
the career of the 'prodigal son." or
in hard work trying to hate what he
had desired and lost, or whether he
gave up the prospects of
what his heart was set on, In order
to care for his aged parents in their
declining years and afterwards re-
gretted the sacrifice he had made, has
always been problem with the writ |
er, but certain it is he formed habits
that are running him, and a bril- !
liant man and a genius are being sac |
'ificed.
Tried to Forget His Past
When he was at Blackfoot he tried
% rise above his disagreeabe past,
and in moments of cheerfulness and
nope, and again in disconsolate mo-
nents when he felt the grip of his
mistakes and bad habits and all look
I'd unconquerable he sometimes un-
)urdened himself just a little and
hen dismissed the subject with an
,ffort.
Whatever the cause of his ruin,
le suffered most, and many others
uffer in consequence of 1t.

Fifth West Virginia Infantry.

The annual reunion of the sur
vivors of the Fifth West Virginit.
infantry regiment, of the civil war,
will be held at Ironton on Septem-
Der 22 and 23. Last year the meet
ing was held at Charleston and
there were not many present. This
regiment was organized at Ceredo,
with Col. Ziegler, OF Catlettsburg,
as its Colonel and a number of COM
missioned officers from Ceredo and
that immediate section. The regi-
ment made a great record during
the years of 62 and So, having been
engaged in all the fighting in the
Shenandoah Valley during these
years of the war. A large major
tty Of the men reinlisted as veter-
ans and engaged nj the great strug-
gle that was witnessed between the

Made a Splendid Impression.

William J. Fields, the Democrat
ic nominee for Congress in this dis
trict is a travelling salesman who, it
is declared by his friends, knows
every by-path in the district and has
no superior as a vote getter. His
race is considered the most re-
markable in Ninth district politics,
in that he selected the counties
he needed, made the fight in only
those and carried every one of
them. Supporters of the other can
didates unhesitatingly declared that
if he could not carry Democratic
banner to victory this fall, it was
useless for any one elsa, to try.
Nominee. Fields made an eloquent
speech of acceptance, in which he
made it plain that he knew no
such thing as fail This was his
first appearance before the conven-
tion, and the first sight many of
the delegates had of him. He made
splendid impression. - Maysville

K. n. c. NEXT MONDAY.
College and Public School viii Open
August 2Sth. ..

As heretofore announced in these
columns the Kentucky Normal Col
will open its doors for the session
of 1901 next Monday, August 20.
The roster of the faculty EN-
braces some of the best professional
teaching talent to be found in any
school in the country, and the
course of study embraces every
branch knowledge of which is
useful or essential in the educa-
tion Of a man or a woman, The
ability of the faculty as instructors
is so well known throughout this
section that it is needless to speak
of it now. Let us say, however, that
no abler corps of teachers is to be
found in any school in this State.
As a college town Louisa has no
superior in any respect--easy to
reach, moral, beautiful hospitable
and healthy. The college building
is large and eminently adapted to
its purpose, Finely located and ad-
mirably arranged it presents a COM
manding and attractive appearance.
The prospect for prosperous year
is fine, The attendance will be
very large at the opening, and it
will steadily increase.

M. F. CoNLEY, Publisher.
a4-.~ Spelling, Figuring.

The editor is neither an educa-
tor nor educated, but if the schools
of this section are not missing
the mark, we've missed our guess.
For instance, the manager of an
important business in P--ville
tells us that recently he had in
his employ yOnug man who knew
all about grammar and latin but
was absolutely blank on mathemat-
les and spelling. 1t so happened
that grammar and latin were not
as needful as a little knowledge
in figures and spelling and the
young man lost his job We know
of splendid girl losing a nice
position because she could not
correctly spell simple words. Latin
and German and grammar and
such may be all right, but spelling
and mathematics and muscle and
energy and common sense are the
things needed most in this siren
GUS age.
The foregoing is a plant recent
ly uttered by an up the river con-
temporary, and it is sad but truth
full commentary upon some modern
schools and modern educators.
There are young men and wo-
men to whom logarithms and latin
are as child's play, and to whom
English spelling and the rule Of
proportion are foolishness and
stumbling blocks. They can glib
ly decline "Amo, few girls do,
hOwever,-but the mental strain
involved in finding out what II
eggs would cost at IS and three
quarter cents dozen would kill ev-
cry rat in her hair or bust the band
on his No hat.
Fortunately, we do things better
in the X. N c. They teach all
manner of useful things there, and
before a pupil is advanced to high
er grades he must-"must" is the
word-be thoroughly up in the
essentials of a practical education.

Judge MaTCum's Residence Damaged.

Speaking of a fire which recently
destroyed the Wilson House, Cere-
do, the Advance says,
The residence Of Judge W W.
Marcum adjoining the Wilson
House was also damaged consider
ably. A hole was burned in the
roof of that building and for
a time it seemed that the resi-
denrc would also go up in smoke.
But the firemen while battling with
the flames on the Wilson House
also kept their eyes on the Judges $
home and played streams OF water
on it alternately.
Many of the effects of Mr. Mar
cum were carried out and those
that were not damaged by rough
handling received spray Of water
occasionally.

ing, it is said in a total loss Of
the craft, excepting portion of
her machinery. The boat was

end of the boat, and the fire had
gotten such headway before it
was discovered by the watChman
that it was impossible to save the
boat

MANY SURPRISES IN THE
MASON VALLEY PROPERTY

The management of ! the Mason
Valley Mines company has met with
a number of surprises in the process
of preparing the resources for stop
ing on the completion of the smell
ter, and one recent disclosure is
typical of the unexpected character
of the formation. In sending a
stope from the fourth tunnel level,
the management was working into
an ore body which promised to av-
erage 3 per cent copper. AS the
work progressed on the level the
value suddenly leaped to 5.5 per
cent copper, and while it may be a
trifie early to draw conclusions, il
looks as if that particular portion
of the ores will hold much better
copper values than originally ex'
pected. The recent development Of
the ore east of the No. TUNE
level is another instance where the
formation carries surprises of tn,
most gratifying sort.-Salt Lake
