WATER SPOUT UP RIVER PLATFORMS ADOPTED
Miss Seaman's House De-
stroyed by A Flood.

The eloudburst which struck the
Horseshoe Bend country Friday af-
ternoon, completely destroyed Miss
Seamans house on her homestead
with all her household furniture,
clothing, books, etc, the only things
saved from the wreck being her dog
and a picture of her father. Miss
Seamans herself, narrowly escaped
death, having reached higher
ground just as the wall of water
swept by.
The storm came up at noon. The
rain descended in a sheet and in a
few minutes the dry guIches in the
hills above became raging torrents.
sweeping everything away in their
path. Miss Seaman's house was
located in one of the gulches Hear
ing the mighty roaring of the wat
er, she ran out of the building and
barely reached a place of safety,
when a wall of water several feet
high came down the gulch, carry
ing with it huge boulders and trees
An immense boulder struck the
house completely demolishing it
and the accompanying water car
ried the wreckage and the contents
of the building into the river. The
loss was complete.
The kind hearted people OF that
section went to Miss Seaman's re-
lief. A subscription paper was at
once started and in a short time
sufficient funds were raised to re-
place the house and the building is
now nearly completed. Guy B.
Mains. forest supervisor. who was
returning from a trip to the Middle
Fork, came upon Miss Seamans the
day after the storm had passed and
found her fishing out OF the river
such articles as she was able to
find. Mr.. Mains endeavored to per-
5uade her to abandon her place and (
return to Emmett, but his efforts
we're in vain she says she is going
to stay.

| PARADISE FOund at Emmett.
| Judge Flenner in Boise Statesman)
Paradise may have been lost once
upon time, but it has been found
again. Its loo alton is the Payette
valley and the heart of this Eden
is Emmett. Any man from Emme t
will tell you this. Ask Skinner of
the Index, or Martin OF the Exam
iner; ask Reilly the mayor or Gam.
age the president of the commercial
club. Even Doc Cummings will
bear testimony, or Wilton the real
estate man. Every one OF the mem
bers of ',he Western Idaho Press As
ISOLATION, who spent delightful day
at Emmett on the occasion Of the
recent press meetsthere, became hyp-
noticed and are liable to print many
booster articles for section .hat is
surely one of the garden spots of
Idaho.
The town has no Rip Van Wrinkle;
even the lone policeman is much a
wake and the hustlers jostle each
other on the street. Such a live
Commercial club, such progressive
business men, such wealth Of agri-
cultural resources, such amplitude of
acres devoted to watermeIons and |
cam 'oupes; such rich golden mel
low fruits apples, pears and peach

pie acres devoted to the culture of
fruit.
Talk about good roads, the entire
press party Sunday morning were
driven to what was two years ago |
a sage brush plain; now it is plowed /
and level as a floor and planted over !
a thousand acres of it, in fruit trees
thai, will in few years bear loads of
luscious stuff that has made Idaho
famous around the world. There
are 40, 900 acres of land tributary tC
Emmett and it will soon blossom
as the rose.
