Ladies Of G. A. X. Serve BOuntiful
Dinner,

New Years day was spent in royal
style by the veterans of the Civil and
Spanish American war, as the guests
OF the Ladies of the G. A. R. and the
Women's Relief Corps at the Chris
tian church. The first part of the
program, consisting of bountiful
turkey dinner, was participated in by
the assembled crowd which left the
men speechless from surfeiting the
tables turkeyless. All of the men were
vocerferous in praise of the feast pro-
vided after they recovered their voices.
A short but very interesting musical
and literary program followed which
ended most enjoyable event.

Five Suits in Federal Court Based on
Charge of OyerwOrk.

Overworking it's employees by keep

until they had exceeded the maximum
number of hours allowed by the feder-
al statutes is the charge lodged against
the Oregon Short Line on five separ-
ate counts by G. Fl. Lingenfelter, Unit
ed States district attorney, yesterday.
The train that has offended the fed
eral authorities was an extra running
between Pocatello and Shoshone on
July 6, 1911. The entire crew, con-
sisting of Charles Cochran, engineer;
G. l.. Smith, fireman; A. E. Manuel,
conductor; f. G. Henry and n. E.
Bunce, brakemen, worked over the 16-
hour limit, according to the complaint
filed yesterday in the federal court by
the government.
In each of the five cases the plaintiff
asks the court to asses the penalty of
$500. According to the time given by
the complaints yesterday, each of the
men worked at least II hours, the en-
gineer and fireman being on the Job

WATER AND TIMBER.
Second Only to Jarbidge's Rapidly
Developing Ores.

Frank l.. Reber, the versatile editor
OF the National Miner, was in Salt
Lake yesterday on his way back to
northern Nevada, after trip through
Jarbidge and on to Butte. Mont, his
former home. Mr.. Reber says the two
mills at Jarbidge are grinding out the
bullion right along. The Fletcher
Clarke mill is now handling about
forty tons of ore daily, with a bullion
output every twenty-four hours of
S4OO to 5000. This ore is coming from
the Bourne mine at depth of approx
mately 200 feet The Pavlak mill is
handling sixty to eighty tons of ore
daily. In little over an eight-day
run it got $1,000.
Mr.. Reber says the Wingfield in
terests are making the dust fly on the
success and Buster properties AL

milling ore has been developed in the

Il have great deal of faith in camp
Jarbidge,' said Mr.. Reber yesterday.
TWO OF its most attractive features,
sometimes overlooked, are it's unlimit-
ed water supply for camp, power and
mill purposes, and the great adjacent
forests of timber for mines and for
construction purposes of all kinds
These two features make it possible
to profitably mill SO ore in Jarbidge.
where in ordinary camps ore worth
twice that could not be treated profit
ably.
The preliminary work at Jarbidge
has accomplished the feat of chemi-
cal re-agent upon a mixture by clari-
Tying one element and precipitating
the other. The work lays bare the
great ribs and veins carrying high
gold values over these mountains and
causes one to indulge in the prophecy

and the president of the company, re-

The action is the result of the trou-

leaky mains under the paving, neces-
stating the cutting of large holes in a
large number of places in the paving
in order to stop the leaks in the mains.
During the summer months no pre-

and Street Commissioner Spencer at
that time stated that the winter
months would make the paving bulge.

please just as greatly, although none

BLAZE IN BLACKSMITH SHOP.
Would Have Been Destroyed But For
Quick Work of Firemen.

The fire department was called out
Wednesday afternoon about O'Clock
to put out a fire which had started in
the Hendricks blacksmith shop, next
door to the department headquarters
The fire started from a defective flue
in the office and had gotten a good
headway before the fire boys were no.
titled
Those who were in the shop tried to
put out the blaze with the aid of a
garden hose, but when they found it
would be impossible to quench the
blaze In that manner a call for help
was sent out. By prompt work the
fire was put out, but not until a good
deal OF damage to the building, which
is nothing but shell and as dry as
finder and it is a wonder there is as
much left as there is. Early the same
morning the department was called
out to put out q fire in what at that
time was supposed to be several cars
OF coal near the freight depot and af-
ter flooding them with water it was
discovered that they were steel cars
loaded with cinders, which the section
men had been warming and thawing,
so they could be unloaded from the
cars.

BOXERS TRY CONCLUSIONS.
COtilliOn Hall Crowded Tuesday Even.
ing by Lovers of the Manly Art.

Cotillion hall was the scene of a
boxing contest Tuesday evening. The
main event was to be ten-round go
between the Salt Lake Kid and fell
low by the name of Burns, and from
the time the fighters stepped into the
ring it was seen that Burns would
stand no show with the kid and SO it
proved. In the first round the honors
were something like even, but in the
second the Kid got busy and floored
the would-be boxer three times. In
this round there was some dispute,
some claiming that the bell was tap
ped too soon. So start was made
for the third round, but there was
nothing to it. The Kid putting him
out in short order.
The spectators being somewhat dis
appointed, Tolman, one of the boys
who took part in one of the prelimin-
aries, went four fast rounds with the
Kid.
There were two preliminary events,
the first between Smith and Jones,
which was very tame affair. The
second between two scrappers by the
name of Jayne and Tolman, was the
best event of the evening. There were
about $50 Twin Falls sports present to

to talk to a Tribune man. Governor
Brady said that the western executives

Gerret L. Peters Buys NJ. & NJ. Tea
and Coffee Co.

The M. & M. Tea and Coffee COM
pany, which has been established in
this city for several years, and has
changed owners number of times,
was purchased last week from the
Patrick Brothers by Garret l.. Peters,
a recent arrival in this city. Mr..
Peters will conduct the business per-
sonally, and expects to build it up
very materially. He is member of
the Holland colony which has but
short time ago settled near Hollister.
In fact, Mr.. Peters was instrumental
as a member of the Holland Realty
company, in getting the large number
OF Hollanders interested in the irri-
gated country. The new owner of the
tea and coffee house is good booster
and thoroughly alive to the possibili-
ties of the tract and should prove
welcome addition to the business cir
cles.

KNIGHTS HOLD FEAST.
h. z. Hall Filled With Men of Lust,
Appetite.

A most successful foray was pulled
of by the Knights of Pythias Tuesday
evening when the members gathered
for an attack on King grub. Accord
ing to the revised version of the
charge of the light brigade there were
sandwiches to the right of them, sand
wiches to the left of them and sand
wiches inside of them when the
charge was over. According to the re-
vised version, also, every member of
that gallant band was able to return
home in the early morning. Speeches
for the good of the order, urged on
the knightly host to further inroads
upon the feast until there was nothing
left of food or appetite and in it's place
only bubbling good humor. The MUNICH
as 1t should rightly be called, is one
of the many good times planned by
the Knights of Pythias for the winter
months.

READY TO SELL POWER.
Beaver River Co. Representative Tells
OF Activity ut Malad Plant.

The Beaver River Power company's
plant on the Malad river will be gem
Grating electricity by January 10.
That statement was made yesterday
by E. p. Bacon, the financial repre-
sentative of the company, who is now
in Boise.
I'VE have 125 men working on the
plant" said Mr.. Bacon, land in addi-
ton three crews of linemen are ex-
tending the transmission line. Work
has been rushed as fast as possible,
and by the date mentioned the Beaver
River company will have power to sell.
Whether or not this power will be
brought to Boise remains to be seen
Our application for franchise here is
still in the hands of the city council,
and we should hear something from it
within the next few days. / believe
that as conditions are now the Beaver
River company is the only source from
which Boise can secure competition in
power"
Asked whether or not there was any
connection between the Beaver River
company and the Southern Idaho
Light, Power e Heat company, Mr..
Bacon said that there is not now any
such connection, and, so far as he
knows, there is no probability of there
ever being any.
He said that the Beaver River com
pany will generate 10000 horsepower
on the Malad, and that if the company
gets franchise in Boise a large per-
centage of that power will be delivered
here as soon as the transmission lines
can be built.-Statesman.
