PROMINENT FARMER DIES
OF CANCER OF STOMACH
l. S. Root Passes Away at Home in
Fargo After Undergoing Operation.

|. S. Root, we'll known and high
ly respected farmer, died at home at
Fargo, Thursday, Oct. 10Th. Death
was caused by cancer of the stomach
and liver. He had recently under
gone an operation at the local hospital
and could not recover. The funeral
was held from the Fargo school house
and was attended by the entire neigh
borhood
Israel Sherman Root was born in
Delhi township, Delaware county,
Iowa, May |, 1853. His parents set
tied in Blue Earth county, Mimi,
where Mr., Root lived until he came to
Idaho seven years ago His early
life was one of pioneer hardship, his
father having been killed by the In
dams about the time of the New Elm
massacre. Afterwards he lived in In
diana and worked on fat boat on the
Ohio and Mississippi rivers. He was
married to Miss Bertha Holcomb at
Mankato, Mimi, July 10, 1875. -Four
sons and one daughter was born to
his union. The children all survive
him.
For over year Mr. Root has suf-
fered from stomach trouble, but his
iron will prevented him from giving
up. Since the reclamation work start
ed Mr.. Root has been one of the heavy
contractors and was at work on a con-
tract less than four weeks ago.
Mr.. Root came to Caldwell and sub
mitted to an operation. After the
incision it was found he had cancer
of the stomach and liver. The ply
sicians could do nothing so he was
laid back to bed to wait for the end.
He proceeded to arrange his affairs
and was reconciled to meet his Maker.
AT his request he was moved to his
home Saturday the 18th. He grew
weaker until Thursday, Oct. 10, when
at p. m, he gently passed away.

else in our country. The esteem in
which he was held was attested by
his friends and neighbors. More than
90 of his friends were present. 1t was
the largest gathering that has been
seen in the community.
Flowers were sent by Minnesota

PRODUCTION OF
PRECIOUS STONES.
Gems of All Kinds, From Diamonds
to Agates, Found in the United
States-Report Issued by United
States Geological Survey.

1t may perhaps be surprising to
many people to learn that the United
States produces almost every variety
OF precious stone-from diamonds
down. The precious stones produced
in this country last year had value
of $2o5,797 against $534,3 $50 in 1909,
according to an advance chapter from
Mineral Resources of the United
States" on the production of gems and
precious stones in 1910, by Douglas
B. Sterrett, just published by the Uni
ted States Geological Survey The
large decrease in the output of a few
OF the more important gem minerals
tourmaline, turquoise, chrysoprase,
etc.-says Mr.. Sterrett, readily ac-
counts for the fall in the value of pro
duction. AS an instance of this de
crease in production, about 80 tons
OF rough turquoise were produced in
1910, as compared with more than II
tons in 1909.
