WILL PROVE A GOD SEND
TO DRY FARMERS.

The experiment of l.. NJ Walker
of ShOshone with a wind mill lr-
plant will be watched with
interest by all yhO intend to make
a trial of dry farming in Lincoln
county. If a dry farmer can irri-
gate ten or fifteen acres of garden
and orchard around his house and
have water supply all the year
round for family and stock pur-
poses he makes his position fair
ly Independent and sure. He can
always raise feed for stock on
the the dry land and often raise
hig crops of grain.
Mr.. Walkers well is 230 feet
oeep with 30 feet of water. At
the top is "a rock and cement res
ervoir holding $4,000 gallons Of
wascr. The lifting power is a
lG foot wind mill that Will fill the
reservoir in 8 or 10 days. With a
fair wind it will pump 300
gallons per hour The well was
drilled by ROessler Bros. and the
reservoir was constructed by VIII
Darrah. The only cost of running
the plant is the wear of machin-
cry and oil to lubricate it. For
dry farms such a plant would be
a God send.

CHEROKEE INDIAN WHO
JUMPED SHOSHONE FALLS
PASSES AWAY IN POVERTY

BUISE, JUNE Pennies and

dil breed Indian, who was the
talk OF all Idaho, when on March

Wilson, whose mother Was a
Cherokee Indian, and whose father
was Frenchman, arrived at Sho-
shone a few weeks before the clos
ing of the gates at the Miner dam.
He, with several companions, went
to the falls on March 2, 1905. They
were intoxicated, and Wilson de-
clared his intention of leaping
from the brink to the pool, 235
feet below. In the presence of
large number of persons, he walked
upon a rock and began preparations
for the jump. His friends and 9TH
ers present, realizing the danger,
that he was risking his life in the
leap, tried to dissuade him from
the reckless act He was stub
born and refused to listen to their
They were afraid to go
near him because of the danger of
falling from the rock into the deep
chasm. They tried to coax him..
but to no purpose.
Wilson looked over the dizzy
height, turned to the crowd that
had gathered, waved his hand and
leaped out into the air. He turn
ed a complete somersault Then
his body shot down into he big
pool. A moment later he appeared
at the surface, uninjured except
for slight flesh wound on his
eg, caused by striking a rock.
Wilson had lately been employed
At Arrow Rock. Last winter he
was taken ill with pneumonia and |

M|N|DOKA MUST
STAY IN LINCOLN

The scare started over the re-
port that the village Of Minidoka
had been found to be located in the
wet territory of Blaine and not in

bounds of Lincoln and must remain

When this county was formed
the north and south division line
on the east, cutting it off from
Blaine, was started far enough west
to leave Minidoka in Blaine, but
the agreement between the rep

section so that this agreement

BROWNSVILLE CANAL
FRANK WILLIFORD. JR., BIDS IN
THE PROPERTY
Price, $50, 000-0nly Three Bidders
Appeared - Over 100000 Will
Have to be Spent to Place System
in Good Working Order.

The canal system and other prop
critics Of the Brownsville Irrigation
company were knocked down yester-
lay to the highest bidder, Frank
Williford, jr., of Houston, who was
awarded the system at $4,000. The
sale was conducted at the door Of
he Cameron county court house, by
R. E. Brooks, jr., the receiver, also
Of Houston.
Mr.. Williford stated to a Herald
representative that he was bidding
n the interest of Houston people,
but was not at liberty to give their
nawmes. When asked what, if any,
improvements would be made to the
Esystem, he stated that he was not at
liberty to give hat out either. Mr..
Williford said, however, that the
system will not be continued in the
manner in which it has been on
Quoted.
The bidding started at $31 900.
There were only three bidders. These
| we're Mr.. Williford, 0. G. Hildebrandt
If Brownsville and E. X. Butler of
Chicago. 1t is stated without au-
+hority that Mr.. Hildebrandt repre-
sented Brownsville interests, but he
would not say. He intimated, how
ever, that if he had been awarded
he system the money would have
been forthcoming without any
rouble.
Mr.. Hildebrandt withdrew after
bidding s56,500, and Mr.. Willford
hen bid $4,000, upon which, there
being no more bids, he was awarded
the canal system. Mr.. Butler with
drew before the bidding had reached
$50, 900. The bidding went by $500
and $1,000 leaps.
The sale will have to be confirmed
by Judge Norman G.. Kittrell of the
s~ixty-first district court, at Houston,
upon whose order it was made, and
other formalities will have to be
gone through before the system is
turned over to the new owners.
The Brownsville Irrigation COM
pany was incorporated under the
laws of Texas with a capital stock of
500, 600. It's properties consisted Of
an irrigation system with about
thirty-two miles Of canals, a pumping
plant that originally cost about $685.
900, and approximately 200 acres
of land. I'll is said that the land Is
not worth more than a few dollars
per acreE because of the fact that 1t
is considerably cut up with resacas.
This was the first irrigating canal OF
any important proportions construct
ed in the Lower Rio Grande Valley.
The pumping plant will probably
have to be re-equipped, and some es-
Inmates place the amount that will
have to be expended to place the sys-
TEN in good condition at more than
100000.
1t was reported that Mr.. Williford's
father, Frank Williford, ST., said TO
be a capitalist and interested heavily
in Brazos county lands, together
with other money men of Houston
were the purchasers. However, this
was denied by Junior Williford yes
