TEN "WET" AND SEVENTEEN
"DRY" COUNTIES In IDAHO

For the information of an iIrqufring
subscriber, we will state that there
are pow ten wet and seventeen
..dryn counties in Idaho. OF the teni
Shoshone, Boise, Blaine, Owyhee
and Custer are .swet" by reason of no
elections having been held in them
since the local option law WAS passed.
Both Ada and Gilmore counties,
where elections have been held, voted
''wet."
Kootenai, Idaho and Lemhi coun-
ties went dry two years ago, but at
recent elections they Topped back In
to the wet column. In Kootenai
and Idaho counties both sides put mp
hard fight, and the 'swets" won by
majorities of about l50. In Lemhl
county last week the vote was about
four to one i'm favor of returning tt
the licensed salaons.
| Another election will he held II
Ada county early next year, rs th'
ssdrys'' have petition about ready t.

COUNCIL FIXES
WATER RATES

The Council met in adjourned
session Wednesday night.
After allowing the monthly claims
against the city, the rules were sus-
pended and an ordnance was passed
fixing the annual rates for the use of
water from the city water system.
The rates fixed by the ordinance are
higher, in a number of instances,
than the old rates. The ordinance
will be published next week. =
The question of telephone service
was discussed at some length H.
j. Bolin of Pocatello, district man
ager for the company, was present
and explained conditions from the
company's standpoint. He stated
that it was entirely out of the ques.
tion to consider the installation OF
what is known as the common bat.
terry system in Montpelier, as the
patronage here would not justify
the expenditure of the large sun
necessary to install that system. H.
assured the council, however, thai
everything possible would be dom
to give the patrons here the bes
possible service under this system
which is in use in all of the small
towns. He said that every phon
would be inspected aud put in goot
condition and every effort would b
made to give prompt service fror
the central office.

HAD MIRACULOUS
ESCAPE FROM DEATH

That r.. j. Eckloff, his eldest son
and two other men were not blown to
atoms last Monday afternoon in the
tunnel in the Bonanza mine, Is but
little short of miracle. The facts
inithe case are about as follows:
A number of sticks Of giant powder,
about 20 pounds, had been sent down
to be used in blasting at the end of
the tunnel. One of the men had
brought the powder from the shaft
where it had been lowered from above
and laid il down, when suddenly a
boulder, weighing 256 pounds,
from the overhead wall Of the tunnel,
a distance of eight feet, directly onto
the sticks of power. That there was
not an explosion, is due to the fact
that the powder had been properly
thawed before being sent down the
shaft. Had the powder exploded the
four men would have been torn into
hundreds of pieces. Had the falling
boulder struck either one of the men
he wonld have been killed.
The men were simple speechless
for minute or two, so dumbfounded
were they by the incident, and when
they regained their composure they
certainly did congratulate them
selves upon being alive.
TO satisfy his curiosity Mr.. Eckior
had the boulder hoisted to the top o.
the shaft and weighed aid it balanced
the scales at just 256 pounds.
A little latter another quantity o
powder WAS taken down to the tun
mel, placed in the holes and fired.
Work at the mine will close dowl
next Wednesday for three weeks, ant
Mr.. Ecklotf and his sons will spen'
the holidays with the family =
