To Develop owyhee La.nd

G. r. Bernard of Mountainhome was
in Nampa last week. He has some
valuable land along Snake river about
Wilson and is interested in getting
water for it. He said that the fats near
Gutfey, Wilson, Enterprise and Squaw
Greek would soon be lined up for water
under a big pumping system. There
would be about 10000 acres he said Of
the finest land in all Idaho. He was
certain that tho highest priced land
anywhere in the state would be in this
section, after it has been improved and
the Buhl Nyssa extension Of the Short
Line has been completed. We have the
best soil ever saw, Mr. Bernard said
and climate conditions are hard to equal

It is with sincere sorrow that we have
to record the untimely death Of Mrs.
Frank Wood which occurred at her
home in Caldwell on Thursday afternoon
last. A number Of Silver City people
knew and loved Veda Wood, who VAS
married TO Mr.. Wood about three years
ago.
Almost child in manner, disposition,
loyableness and indeed in age, for she
was only 22, the news Of her death came
as shock to the writer, whose sympathy
goes out to the befeaved husband and
relatives left to mourn.
Mrs. Wood has been quite i'll since the
birth Of her second child two weeks ago
but was regarded as out Of danger.
When stricken at the last she was talk
ing to her mother, Mrs w. A. Scott.
Suddenly she stopped and failed and the
doctor was summoned. Two hours later
she breathed her last.
Two childlen, both boys, survive her,
aged respectively two years and two

Waved Her Foot

Railwaymen are so accustomed to
communicate with each other by means
OF gestures that the habit OF looking for
such dumb signals becomes a kind of
second nature. In this connection an
amusing incident occurred on a part Of
the South African Railway line where it
was so common for cattle to be run over
that reports of all such accidents had to
be made to headquarters, with full par
ticulars as to place and circumstance.
One day a complaint was received
that a valuable COW had been killed on
a certain day and by a certain engine.
The case was referred to the proper de.
partment, but reference to the files
showed that the driver had failed to re-
port such an accident. Accordingly he
was sent for, and asked why he had
omitted to report the matter.
Il didn't know l hurt the cow" he
said.
Then you remember hitting her?"
Yes, and slowed up as she rolled
oyer on her back, but she waved her
loot Tor me to 60 ahead, so / concluded
she was all right"

Going some

A stranger who came over from Silver
City in the stage said there was much
snow in the Owyhee mountains. He
said on one occasion the driver had to
dig down Is feet in the snow to get
water for the horses. He states they had
to let them down to the pool by their
tails.
This thing has never been heard of
before in the history of the state-they
usually do this by hanging on to their
hind legs. Surely there will be an
abundance of water for irrigation this
year Caldwell Tribune.

Well Known Pioneer Passes
Away


In the death of George w. Graysor
another of Silver City's old timers passes
from human ken. Mr.. Grayson died in
San Francisco last week from an affec.
tion Of the heart. His end was quite
sudden.
While for many years Mr.. Grayson
has made his home in California, he has
been for many years interested in Owy-
hee investments, botn mining and stock.
@. M. Hays, when interviewd by a
Boise paper, said:
II knew him well, he landed in Silver
City first in 1885, going there from Cali
fornia. He was first interested in sheep
and cattle, and had nothing to do with
mining. / think be was among the
first to introduce sheep into that country.
1T was in the early spring of 1868
that he became interested in the Golden
Chariot mine. He and Hill Beechv.
the stage driver, secured control of it.
1t promised to be big mine, and did
ultimately develop into property from
which millions were taken.
The fight for the mine took place in
March, 1868. l was in Silver City at
the time. 1t would take book to give
all the details of that war. Five or six
men were killed in the fight or as
result OF it.
The real cause of che war was con-
hict over ground. Marion Moore and
Colonel D. II. FOCUS owned ground ad-
joining. Both parties claimed the same
vein. Feeling became so bitter that
open war broke out. Grayson was in
command at the Golden Chariot and
he was the right man for the crisis
cool, brave, alert, and determined to die
rather than surrender any right.
When the whole story is told it will
read like a sensational novel. Two can
non, mountain howitzers, we're taken
into camp to play part in the war.
They had been rescued from the Owyhee
river, where they had been lost by
company Of regulators out to fight the
Auuiauo- 1ncy were not Drought 1DTO
play in the Golden Chariot fight, but
the fact that they were conveyed over
the mountains into the camp will give
an idea as to how high feeling ran.
One OF the guns can be seen any day
now in the state capitol grounds.
~. 9. Howgate was the first man
killed in the war. Several others we're
killed later, and large number we're
wounded, but Grayson remained in
possession of the Golden Chariot when
the end came. A compromise was
reached between the contending parties.
"Grayson and his associates took mil
lions out of the Golden Charity. The
Moore & FOCUS organized the Ida Ell
more on the adjoining property, and
they, too, grew rich out of the mine.
"Giayson sold his holdings in the
Golden Chasiet' company for ses
share, and in that way amassed big
fortune.
