The code of King Khammurabi OF
Assyria. whose date is approximately
2200 B. c., which has been disciphered
from a pillar discovered at Susa, deals
exclusively with the subject of di-
vorce. One Of the most interesting
clauses is the following III the wife

house and impoverished his house,

They ARE OPTIMISTIC
Citizens of Horseshoe Bend
Predict Great Develop
ment.

C. E. Armitage, William Harland,
Frank Shelley and Emory Sherard,
four OF the boosters of Horseshoe
Bend, were in Boise a few days ago
and gave to the Capital News the
following optimistic story of the
future of that country:
There is a good deal of work
going on in the country about
Horseshoe Bend,' they said. THE
electric power company is giving
employment to about 80 men, build
ing new headgate for the power
canal and other work on the big
Itch; the Kentuck mine is working
eight men; the Nellie has good
iorce and is to add another shift
the first of next month and other
mines are getting ready to resume
operations.
THE surveying corps of the Ida
40 Northern has completed its work
on the new line and it is reported
that construction work on the rail-
road is TO begin at once, so that
Horseshoe Bend will enjoy railroad
transportation in a few months and
all the many resources of that coun-,
try will begin operations.
Horseshoe Bend will supp'y the
Boise valley and southern Idaho
with coal when we get the railroad
TO deliver the goods, for we have
demonstrated that we have the coal
in endless quantity, and have mum
Der of places prospected and know
where to commence digging.
"Hi Henry writes from New York
that he is interesting a party of
German capitalists in a proposition
o put in a smelter to treat the ores
Of the mines in this district, which
includes the Pearl camp, the upper
Payette and the Horseshoe Bend
using coal from the
Henry mines for fuel. This will
solve the problem for the miners of
that country and cause it to boom, |
for there is no better mineraliZed |
section Of the state than that part
Of Boise county.
There is good deal of irriga-
ton in prospect there. The pres
ent canal systems take water from /
the small streams which empty in +
to the Payptte at Horseshoe BEND
They only give short water right /
that is, until July or August, but
new enterprises will take water
from the Payette and furnish full
season for irrigation. We have the
,ldest agricultural section in Idaho,

1een settled in the COS, since which
