HIMSELF
RANK |MPOST0R

There arrived in this city last
Saturday a stranger, evidently a
foreigner, laying claim to having
been a resident of Assyria, not
far from the ruins of Babylon. He
called on the pastors of the
churches and presented his claim
to being an accredited agent from
the Bishop of the Chaldeans, and
had what purported to have been
letters of credentials from his hOli-
ness, bearing a stamp which he
said was a Turkish seal and an
other which he declared was the
official seal of the Bishop of the
Chaldeans. He was a smooth artl-
clc and worked his way into the
confidence of some of the church
workers in the city and obtained
a sum of money from each of the
churches, the Methodist and
the Baptist. Pastor Roots of the
Episcopal church was onto the"lay
of the minstrel so far afield, and
did not bite" The stranger went
from here to Nampa and there fell
afoul the police who were waiting
for his coming and was by them
hurried through their city. He
proves to be one of three Assy-.
rian citizens of New York who
are working the charity racket on
the good and kindly disposed
church membership of the land.
Their plea is for funds to build
hospitals and churches in the far
away land of Assyria. The one who
called here gave his name as Mil
an George, deacon of the Chaldean
church, and as a solicitor he is
accomplished and artful. and in
spires confidence generally.
From those VINO know, it is said
that there is an organized gang
of these fellows who pass their
letters of credentials from one to
the other and that they acquire
wealth from the charitably laclin-
ed throughout the country. Sho-
shone will be bad place for them

ing sheep.

Mr.. Cleveland is accredited with
the statement that he did not care
for the sheep taken but proposed
to show the ranchers Of Camas
Prairie that he could herd his
sheep where he pleased.

made no attempt to escape, and
as the circumstances seem to show
that the shooting was done in self

that he will be exonerated.

LOCAL LIGHT AND WATER
GOES TO KUHN COMPANY

The sale of the ShoshOne Light
and Power Company to the Kuhns
IS about to be concluded, the sign
ing Of the transfer papers now only
remaining to complete the trans
fer. This it is understood will be
cone in a few days.
General Manager F. C. Bush of
the Kuhn electric light and other
interests at Gooding has been in
Shoshone for a week or more
checking up the properties of the
local light and power system. This
means, according to accepted be-
li.f. that the Kuhns are about to
lake over the local system, and
amer installing a line of their own
from one of their Snake river
plants. do away with the ShOshone
generating plant. Bush finished
making a complete diagram of the
Shoshone light and power lines
early in the week. This draft will
It is said, show very desirable
sy stem of transmission for both
light and power ample for all i'm
LIE ediate needs.
The new transmission line will
probably come into town from the
Sugar Loaf butte from the system
now in use at the big reservoir.
The distance is nine miles.
Another power company, the
Beaver River, is asking for an
entrance into town and the mat
ter is TO come up at once before
the City Council.

Gooding. June 1T is stated
here that big electrical power
cnanges and developments are in
the cards of the near future: first,
that the financial interests that
have been looking into power
rights and electric possibilities
centering about Hagerman are soon
to take up the enterprise of COM
pleting the electric road already
graded to that place and connect
ing with the Kuhn steam road
operating now between GOOding
and Jerome: that the Thousand
Springs power people are in the
contemplated deal and the power to
be generated at that splendid
plant now nearing completion will
be used to operate the road that
there is a big deal on hand to ex-
tend the lines of the Kuhn power
service and possibly the same
interests are to transfer their rail-
road extending from GOoding to
Jerome to be operated by cleo
tricHy.
1t is known that an option given
to Salt Lake capitalists by H. A.
Stroud on the railway grade and
rOadbed already prepared for the
laying of rails is to expire on Mon
day next, so it is understood. and
the information is given out that
the option is to be taken up.
Something like this development
has always been expected as the
outcome Of the Thousand Springs
power plant, and it would work
wonders for this part of Idaho.
