 As a result of the inquiry into the Ramona disaster, September 10, og Spanish island, Federal Inspectors Thomas P. Deering and Carl Lehners have preferred charges against two employees of the steamship-Martin Taafe, master, and Herbert A. Tucker, chief engineer. Negligence on the part of a sworn officer of the United States was the specific accusation placed against Fucker, while that against Taafe will not be indicated un- til the completion of Fuckers hearing. The negligence with which the chief engineer was charged was in not clos ing or attempting to have closed the Tatertight door in the after bulkhead of the engine room to check the water coming from this directions, and in not using all possible means at bis disposal in endeaHoping to relieve the vessel while she was rapidly filling after striking a. reef where she became a wreck.

Indians used to eat them. and the fact that they are edible led 10 law in Wisconsin which protected them on the principle that they are the only food animals which a lost traveller wibhout a gun would be able to kill. In New Hampshire there is, or was, a bounty on them because of the damage they do trees.

BLAZE IN CLEANING WORKS.
Fire Caused by Leak in Feed Pipe of
Pressing Machine.

The fire department was called out
yesterday evening to extinguish quite
blaze in the building occupied by
the Twin Falls Cleaning and Dye
Works, located on Shoshone street,
near the depot. AS near as can be
learned the fire was caused by a leak
in the gas pipe which feeds the press
ing machine. The fire was confined to
the roof and attic and while consid-
cradle damage was done to the ma
chinery the plant will soon be In OPP
Grafton again. The clothing, ETC., that
the company had in the building was
in a case used for the purpose of stor-
ing such articles and was quickly re-
moved with but little damage. The
fire occurred about six o'clock in the
evening and attracted a large crowd.

Train.

When the conductor of Short Line

the chair car on his train yesterday
morning at 2:40 a. m., short distance

himself in the head with revolver,
which was found tightly clutched in
his right hand. The body was held

North Side Paper Makes Accusation
Against This City.

In the beginning, the promoters of
the North Side tract saw tit to borrow
the name, Twin Falls, and attach it to
this new segregation. In those days
that was name to conjure with. It's
pronouncement brought visions of a
great desert being conquered in a few
years and a Magic City springing up
in its midst 1t brought dreams of
hurry and hustle, and fortunes being
made over night. The name Twin
Falls did much to establish the North
Side on firm footing before the pub
lie.
But the time has now come when it
no longer needs the swaddling clothes
of its infancy; nor the spoon and
'pusher" OF its early days. The North
Side has made an enviable reputation
for itself in the last year and the cou-
ping Of its name with that of Twin
Falls no longer ADDS to its prospects.
At the Boise fair, Twin Falls got as
much credit out of the Lincoln county
exhibit as did the North Side tract.
Although that city had not single
exhibit there, most of the visitors from
other parts of the state thought it was
responsible for the splendid showing
s.,
on the front part of the name of this
tract. Last week the Boise papers
came out with big head lines saying
Twin Falls was making Boise ashamed
of itself; that Twin Falls had offered
to pay the expense of a Boise exhibit
to the Chicago land show. We know
very well that it is the fine display
that the North Side is sending to Chi
cago that is bringing the maidenly
blush to Boise's cheek, and we also
know that it was the money of the
North Side Land e Water Co. that was
offered to pay Boises way to the great
land show.
Twin Falls is no longer what it was.
That famous Twin Falls Spirit" is a
thing of the past and in it's place there
is an envious and selfish strife to get
everything it can grasp from those
who would be it's friends and neigh
bors. 1t no longer seeks prosperity
through the success and growth of
what should be it's natural tributary
territory, but strives for temporary
gain at the expense of the new COM
munities that are springing up around
it. The old Twin Falls spirit has de-
serted it's former habitation, and the
mantle of that citys prestige will fall
on one of the newer towns in South
ern Idaho.
AS citizens of the North Side tract
and of Wendell, let us then get away
from the old name, and establish Wen
dell on reputation of it's own and not
allow our more populous neighbor to
get the benefit of our advertising and
our results.-Jerome Times.

BARROW SELLS INTEREST.
DlspOses of Interest in the Ferguson
Fruit and Land Company.

The largest real estate deal on the
Twin Falls tract during the year was
consumated last week when Tandy
Wigglesworth, principal stockholder in
the Ferguson Fruit & Land Company
which owns and CONTROLS more than
twenty-five hundred acres of orchard
land in the Ferguson Flats southwest
OF Buhl-and his associates from the
east, took over the interest of George
Darrow in that company for consid-
Grafton currently reported at $4,000.
Mr.. Darrow has been manager of the
big fruit company since it's inception
and the growing and planting of the
trees of this, the largest company of
its nature in Southern Idaho, has been
entirely under his supervision. Com
ing to Idaho from Colorado among the
early pioneers of the Twin Falls tract,
Mr.. Darrow has made a modest for
tune in the short five years interven-
ing between the time the Buhl inter-
ests turned the water onto the tract
and the past week when he closed out
his interests in the big fruit company.

DEVELOPMENT IN )ARBIDGf.
ID. II. MOseley Tells Of Work Being
Done ut Mines.

D. H. Moseley has just returned
from trip through southeastern Ida
ho, during which he attended the coun-
ty fair of Bear Lake county and Sc
cured valuable information concerning
the progress of mining development at
Jarbidge.
While Mr.. Moseley was at Twin
Falls he met number of mining
men just out from the new mining
camp. Among the number was George
E. Gavin, formerly of Boise and we'll
known here. According to the reports
from these men there is more perman-
ent progress being made in Jarbidge
right now than at any previous time.
The camp is enjoying quite building
boom, 80 houses having been built in
the last month and a number of 9TH
ers being now under way. Transfers
of property are almost of daily occur
renee. Flour in the camp sells at 81
sack, apples at $3.50 a box and lum-
ber at $75 per thousand.
The Bourne mine, he ascertained,
upon which there is a 50-ton mill, is
running at full capacity. The milling
plant is modern in every respect and
is doing good work on ores that aver
age SIS per ton in gold. A 15-foot
ledge has been developed to depth
OF 200 feet and plenty of good ore has
been encountered to keep the mill in
operation.
The Pavlak is just establishing a
Chilian mill with $50 tons capacity
There is enough ore reported broken
and ready on this property to keep the
mill running one year in ore that av-
erages from $40 to $50 per ton.
In the Buster mine an 1S-foot ledge
has been opened for several hundred
feet and shaft has been sunk to a
depth of Is feet and workmen are now
running drift from the bottom of
this shaft. The ores here average from
$50 to $40 and are free milling, ac-
cording to the information given.
George Wingfield of Nevada, has just
taken over the Success, which joins
the Buster on the north. The price
given is $125,000. A five-foot ledge
has been opened several hundred feet
by tunnels one above the other and
the ores taken out average $45 per
ton.
The Buckeye has been opened for
700 feet on 10-foot ledge and the
ore averages $25. The Alpha fraction
has a four-foot vein opened for several
uuuuT6u Icel, Tie ores dVoIdSl Ing SlOV
per ton. The Hiawatha group, five
miles south of the Bourne, has been
opened in two places and vein II
feet wide opened up which averages
$40. There are several properties be-
ing worked in the craters. Notable
among these is the Col. George group,
which has four parallel veins from 4
to 10 feet wide opened for 2500 feet in
length, giving ore of an average value
from $45 to $500 per ton.
There are promising prospects all
through the country too numerous to
mention, according to Mr. Moseleys
informants, who declare that one of the
features of the mining situation in the
Jarbidge district to mining men is the
fact that all the ores are absolutely
free, none of them being base or re-
bellious, thus making their extraettUn
more economical. The telephone line
between Jarbidge and TWIN Falls is
completed and in operation and there
is a general feeling Of satisfaction at
the future outlook Capital News

Officers Named for Imaginary Army

was a more real, more tangible and
more formidable force than the ghost.
ly army of United States volunteers.
It's joker in the Dick militia bill. en-
acted into law by congress on May a.,
1908.
The Dick bill originally provided for
an actual army of United States volun-
teers similar to the volunteers who en-
listed for the Spanish-American war
after state organizations were found
to be troublesome.
The bill also provided for separate
section for an eligible list from which
officers were to be commissioned when
the army of United States volunteers.
subject only to the will of the COM
mander-in-chief of the armies of the
United States, might be called into be-
ing in condition of war.
The section providing for the vol
unteer army was stricken from the bill
in the course of a legislative wrangle
over the privilege of the states to Or
ganize volunteers. The authority ere.
ating the army was thus destroyed, but
the contingent section bringing into ex-
istence the list of eligibles for the
army's commissioned OFFICERS was not
disturbed. The bill thus passed con-
gress, disembodying the army but pro-
viding officers for it. That is why
the war department is now qualifying
men as eligibles.
