Error in Printing Engineer Blake's
Report in our Last Issue.

We regret to note an error In the
printing of Engineer Blake's report
ON the Mountain Home Water Sup
ply and Source in our issue of Aug.
ust 10. 1t occurred i'm the third par.
agraph where he discusses the bear
ing of the contour lines established
in his survey for sewer system
upon the direction of surface drain
age in the vicinity of the driven
wells at the northerly end OF Alturas
Street. The third sentence in the
third paragraph of his report should
have read:
"They show plainly that the sur
face drainage from the territory cov-
cred by houses and buildings along
Galloway Street will run off far TO
THE EAST OF the well location at
the northerly end of Alturas Street"
On matter so important in its
bearing as the above, we take this
earliest possible opportunity to cor
rect our unintentional error.

Famous MinstreIs Coming

Honest endeavor will always be
crowned with success. No doubt this
is the reason why Richards & Pring'
les Famous Georgia Minstrels have
been SO long before the public. To
make this season better than last,
to give the public a better show this
year than last, has always been the
watchword of the management. Worn
out ideas,shabby wardrobe and ques.
tionable acts have never found a
place in their program. These meth
DDS may succeed for a time, but
the American people are too In
telligent to tolerate 1t for long. Not
a questionable word, act or song
can find place in the performance
given by this company. Heads Of
families often hesitate to take their
mothers, sisters, wives or children
to a minstrel show for this reason,
but they need have no fear to take
them to performance given by this
company. The program is absolutely
clean and refined. This company,
which numbers nearly forty people,
will be seen at the Standard August
80.
Bring the children out to see the
big free street parade at noon.

Funeral of Charles Hayes

Charles Hayes, whose death has
been previously announced, Saturday
evening, the 10Th of August, at the
Kelsey hospital, was laid to- rest
Monday at 200 in the afternoon, the
2lst, from the Cowen undertaking
parlors, Rev. G. E. Mason officiating.
Brief services were also held at the
grave.
The deceased was born in Ken
lucky and was upwards of 70 years
of age At the time of his death
he was in the employment OF Mr..
Robert Morrison of the Rocky Bar
stage line, tending the station at the
Toll Gate. Mr.. Hayes was chang
ing the horses when the stroke of
paralysis Frustrated him. He had
been in his usual good health up to
the time of the stroke, complaining
briefly before of his head not feeling
WELL He had been in Mr.. Morrison's s
employment year and a half and
was very faithful and trustworthy.
A few items concerning his life
have been gathered from different
sources. Several years were spent
in Montana; he was a soldier in the
Confederate army. He lost his wife
by death many years ago when one
of the children was only a babe. He
has two daughters. There are six
brothers living, and a sister; some
of his relatives live in California.
He had been a member of the
Presbyterian church. He knelt in a
prayer service the Sunday before his
illness the following Monday. He
had good care at the hospital the last
week of his life, had been there a
year before sick with what is though
to have been light shock, and wish
ed to be taken there this time.
Mr.. and Mrs. Morrison have given
the old man every attention, to the
last act of honorable burial.

Georgia MinstreIs

Appearance LIS everything! You
cannot help but be impressed with
the appearance of Richards & Prin-
gle's Minstrels when they visit your
city.
No old hand-me-down, faded, worn
out wardrobe, no sloppy, slip-shod
parade. Instead you will see the best
dressed minstrel parade you have ev-
er seen on your streets. Uniforms of
the costliest material, built by the
best tailors in the land And the de-
pertinent of these talented colored
boys Is always a subject of comment
In every city they visit; and that
includes all the principle ones from
Maine to California.
The performance given by this com.
pany, unlike many given by their
white competitors, is strictly clean
and refined. Not suggestive word,
song, joke or action finds a place in
their program.
This motto of cleanliness is doubt
less the keynote of their success, for
they are packing the theatres throu-
ghout the country.
There will be big free street pa
rade at noon, headed by the best
minstrel band inAmerica, and a con-
cert in front of the theatre at 7:30
o'clock in the evening.
Make a note Of the date, Wednes-
day, August 80.

GREAT SHOSHONE FALLS.

Lake Erie rs miles, when, after de-
scending SO feet In series OF rap
Ids, they plunge down 165 feet In
two divisions, one the American falls
and the other the Horseshoe or Can
adian falls. The entire flow from
Lake Erie is estimated at 10000, 900
cubic feet of water every minute.
From the foot of the falls the river
descends among cliffs 200 to 300
feet high in number of rapids for
distance of three miles until it rea-
ches the famous whirlpool. The
great American and Canadian power
companies at the falls are equipped
today for the generation of over half
million horsepower and the water
required for the huge tunnels and
penstocks has largely detracted from
the volume OF flow over the falls.
Furthermore, the Niagara river fror
Lake Erie to the falls runs through
monotonous, level country with no
scenic attractions. There is nothing
above to prepare the sight-seer for
the view that meets his eye at the
falls. The great cataracts at Niagara
have none of the rugged, natural
stage settings that accompany SO ma
ny of Natures wonderful masterpie-
ces. Neither have the Victoria falls
on the Zambesi river In Africa, the
river above those falls flowing thru
the vast arid plains of the Veldt OF
Rhodesia. Below the falls, which
drop nearly 400 feet and are about
one mile wide, is the canyon of the
Zambesi, which is marvel to geol-
ogists.
But Shoshone falls, unlike Niagara
falls and the Zambesi cataracts, is
staged in rugged setting of Nature
above the drop which gives 1t mag
ic charm of Its own. To one who
has stood on the brink of he preci-
pice below the falls on the south
side of the river, the effect is more
than awe-inspiring. The Snake ap-
proaches the cataract through a nigh
ty volcanic canyon, the serried col
mns of lava rock rising to height
of thousand feet In formations re-
sembling minarets and domes and
castellated battlements. All along its
vertical sides is a huge talus of dis
integrated lava sloping toward the
bank far below. Falling over the rim
rock at intervals during the irrigation
season are the small but beautiful
falls of the unused water from the
big canals and coulees of the North
Side Twin Falls tract, forming with
their spray and mist veritable "bri-
dal veils." At the bottom of the can
yon below the great cataract is the
hydro-electric power station which ut
ilizes part Of the flow Of the river
and all Of Its pressure to generate
electric current for the lighting and
power of Twin Falls, Jerome, Wendell,
Buhl and many other fast growing
cities and towns.
Just above the great falls, the riv-
er makes sudden turn toward the
south and almost before the bend is
made, 1t turns back toward the west
at the very edge OF the precipice.
With a thunderous roar and rumble
it then plunges headlong over the rag
ged edge of rock and down into the
whirlpool 210 feet below, sending up
Its clouds of misty vapor which re-
fleet back the colors of beryl and
amethyst, turquoise and ultramarine,
In the sunlight.

From Sunday Capital News

From SUNDAY Capltal news
The rugged grandeur OF the noun
tains and ravines OF northern Idaho is
well known to transcontinental trav.
elers for the lines Of the Northern Pa
cific, Great Northern and Chicago
Milwaukee & Puget Sound railways
pass directly through its scenic won
ders. The magnificent canyons Of
the Salmon river and the wild, impreg
nable passes and peaks of the Teton
and Sawtooth mountains are known
but little except to the intrepid ex-
plorer or huntsman, so inaccessible
and difficult are their approaches. But
the traveller passing through south
ern Idaho by train sees but little save
unbroken sage brush and lava rock
with here and there a glimpse of
some irrigated tract and the Owyhee
and Sawtooth mountains In the far
distance. The general impression is
not favorable and many a traveller
wonders if the glowing descriptions
of the Inland Empire of irrigated
lands in Sunny, Southern Idaho"
may not, after all, be the mental
picture of a dreamer.
Little does he realize that the
dreary expanse Of rolling sage brush
plains seen from the car window to
the south as he travels from Minidoka
to Glenns Ferry conceal from his
view within 20 miles of the steel
rails of the Oregon Short Line, three
of the greatest natural wonders of the
United States besides thousands OF
acres of the richest irrigated land in
the whole world.
He sees the Snake river first at
American Falls and is not greatly i'm
pressed. When he sees it next, just
before coming into King Hill, NOV

he would not recognize 1t as the
same mighty river that leaps over the
beautiful Twin falls, 180 feet In height

itself, tears down through a canyon

ECONOMICAL BEEF FEEDING.

The Nebraska state experiment sta
ton at Lincoln published the middle
of December Il bulletin on Economical
Beef Production" which contains a
number of suggestions which should
be valuable to feeders of beef cattle.
AS a result of a number of carefully
conducted feeding tests it was found
that old process linseed meal coarsely
ground had a slightly higher feeding
value than c~ottonseed meal, while Ell
Their of these feeds was considerably
better than wheat bran as a protein
concentrate. One experiment showed
that cold pressed cottOnseed cake fed
with corn and corn stover gave larger
daily gains than any other combina-
ton of foods used. The results in
three experiments made showed that
beef could be produced more cheaply
by the use of alfalfa in connection
with corn than by the use of any Of
the three concentrateS-linSeed meal.
cottonSeed meal or bran-when the
rOughage consisted of prairie hay. The
conclusions derived from some other
feeding tests showed that with corn
at from 80 to so cents per bushel and
alfalfa hay ut 81 per ton or lower less
than n full feed of corn-from four
teen to eighteen poundS-was a more
economical ration than when a full
feed was used and that if corn was
worth from so to 60 cents per bushel
1t was more economical to reduce the
corn ration to n half feed. or from ten
to twelve pounds. \ comparison Of
the quarters after the animals were
slaughtered showed that the groups
fed on alfalfa gave a better quality Of
meat, as shown in the color, marbling.
etc.
