MAINE BLOWN UP BY MINE
Naval Board Announces Its Findings
and Settles Noted Question.

Washington, Dec. 9.-The United
States battleship Maine, which sunk in
Havana harbor in February, 1898, as a
result of an explosion, was blown up
from the outside.
This was announced yesterday by
the naval board that has been examin-
Ing the wreckage. The statement was
given out by the navy department in
brief. Secretary Meyer does not be-
lieve 1t necessary to issue any extend
ed explanation of the boards conclu-
sions beyond that fiat statement that
an exterior explosion was responsible
for the loss of the warship and the
lives Of many men.
The declaration that low form of
explosive was used in the outside ex-
plosion indicates a belief that mine
and not dirigible torpedo was the in
strument of destruction.
This only deepens the mystery of
the destruction of the Maine. A mine
charged with sufficient gunpowder to
blow in the bottom of the ship must
have weighed several hundred pounds
and to plant such a mine and lay the
electric connections necessary for its
discharge would have required the SER
vices of number of men.

Fred Nelson, one of the pioneer resi-
dents of this city, met with a fatal ac-
cident on the Shoshone falls grade last
Friday afternoon. While driving down
the north side grade with load OF
poles the brake block came out and
the horses were unable to hold the
wagon. Mr.. Nelson seeing that he
could do nothing to stop the wagon
attempted to jump and in SO doing the
lines became tangled around his feet
throwing him underpeath the back
wheels of the wagon. Help after a
time arrived and he was brought
to the Twin Falls hospital where
everything that medical skill could dc
was done for him, but without avail
He passed away Saturday morning
about $3.50.
Mr.. Nelson has been employed by
the Great Shoshone and Twin Falls
Light & Power Company for several
years and was held in high esteem by
all who knew him. He Is survived by
wife and a son and daughter. The
son, Carl Nelson, arrived from his
home in Utah Saturday evening, and
the daughter, Mrs. Bradshaw and hus-
band, came In from Jarbidge, Nevada

The Hollanders have the reputation
of being thrifty and industrious. A

doubtless produce a wonderful trans

BRUN[AU REPORT
RFWV[S HOPES
Citizens Rejoice Even Over Un-
confirmed Rumor.
RUMOR OF LAUNCHING OF PRO.
JECT GIVEN SATURDAY.
Tracing Down of all Stories Leads
to Nothing Which Is Considered
Authentic.

Saturday the whole city was excit-
ed over the few lines placed on the
Commercial club bulletin board to
the effect that the great Bruneau pro-
ject was financed by j. Perpont Nor
gan. From that time all kinds of stor-
les were peddled about the matter,
some of which bore the earmarks of
the truth. But after careful running
down of every rumor, nothing could be
found upon which to base the story
save telegram sent to D. E. Burley
by D. S. Spencer, which caused the
first excitement that story with it's de-
nial by the Miner corporation, is
herewith printed below:
That J. P. Morgan & Co. have agreed
to finance what is known as the Bru-
neau irrigation project in the southern
part of Idaho, said to comprehend one
of the biggest reclamation plans ever
shaped under the Carey act, is the SUBJ
stance Of report received here from
the east
The report was yesterday denied by
J. S. Miner, secretary and treasurer
of the Miner corporation, which has
In hand the Twin Falls project.
Mr. Miner said that plans for fin
ancing the Bruneau enterprise had
been under way for some time, but that
he felt sure that negotiations had not
yet been successfully closed also that
Mr. Morgan was not behind the pro-
ject. He declared that although he
fully expected the deal for financing
the project to be closed in the near
future, he was not liberty to state
particulars now.
According to information gathered
here, the project will mean the recla-
nation of approximately 600, 900 acres
in southern Idaho.r The broad expanse
is located west of the Twin Falls tract,
recently redeemed, and is said to be
part of the original Twin Falls pro-
ject. 1t is west of the Salmon river,
east OF the Bruneau river and south of
the Snake river. The proposition, it is
understood, comprehends taking wa
ter at Miner as the principal distri-
buting point.
The entire tract lies in Owyhee
county. The proposed main line of the
Oregon Short Line railroad from Buhl,
Idaho, to Nyssa, Ore, will extend
through the center of the area. Mr..
Miner is authority for the statement
that the project when complete will
require in all probability an expendi-
ture of about $4,000, ,000.-Salt Lake
Tribune.
The whole gist of the matter ap-
pears to be that some carefully laid
plans of the promoter had premature
ly leaked out and that desperate eff
fort is being made to quiet the rumors
which probably have foundation in
fact. At any rate, the rumor has had
| it's effect in raising the hopes and
| spirits of every citizen on the Twin
Falls tract. That the project would
go through eventually has been the
| expectation of all here, but it's early
confirmation will do much to set pros
| perity returning with full tide.

John F. Cooney of Twin Falls, on a

B. Grunwald of Omaha, Nebr., on a

vacuum cleaning plants, would have
been awarded the contracts for that
part of the work, but appeared before
the commission and announced that
an error was made in the segregation
OF the two contracts. He said that un-

the commission were in favor of ex-
acting the penalty of 2 per cent of the

RUNNING FULL CAPACITY.
Alfalfa Meal Mill at Filler Now Run.
ming Night and Day.

The alfalfa mill recently completed
in Filler by a stock company of farm
ers at cost of $4,000 is in full opera
tion and M. B. Harding, the manager,
is paying $6 per ton for alfalfa, while
alfalfa for shipment to eastern points
brings but $3.50 to $3.50 per ton in the
stack in other parts of the county.
This alfalfa is turned into meal and is
sold at $40 ton at Filler. The mill
handles five tons of alfalfa per hour
and is working IL hours day. The
offerings of hay have been so liberal
that the management feels justified in
putting on another force and running
the mill day and night for some time.
In addition to the increased price paid
farmers for their alfalfa over that paid
for shipment east, considerable force
of men is required to handle the hay
and run the mill and care for the meal
sacking it and preparing it for ship
ment.
