Wants Bridge at HomedaIe

l.. B. Yadin arrived in Silver City on
Saturday on a mission to persuade the
Board Of County Commissioners to build
bridge across the Snake at Homedale.
Mr.. Yadin is in charge of the affairs
Of the HomedaIe Townsite Company at
that place and thinks that bridge
would immensely benefit the County Of
Owyhee in general and Homedale in
particular. He says that the immense
Deer Flat territory on the north side Of
the river in Canyon County would make
the Owyhee town its trading point in
preference to Caldwell if easy communi-
cation in the shape of bridge were
provided.
The State Land Board controls some
ten thousand acres under the Gem Dis
trict and has approved the scheme,
promising, according to Mr.. Yadin, to
put up portion Of the cost.
The bridge can be built for about
twenty thousand dollars, of which Can
yon County will be asked to stand
part. The balance will be provided, if
the Commissioners approve, by Owyhee
County, and the State Land Board, al
though Mr.. Yadin states that consider
able sum can be raised by public sub
scription in the vicinity of Homedale.
Jwyhee's portion would be $4,000.
Asked as to the sentiment of his Sec
ion Of the county as to the question of
county Seat Removal, Mr. Yadin stated
hat there is no desire to make change
1t this time. The Homedale people
nave also given up their once-cherished
'lan to become annexed to Canyon
County. The taxes of the latter county
ire too high and the public Indebtedness
100 great to make such move desirable.
The delegate from Homedale came
lere with the understanding that the
BOARD meeting was scheduled for April.
Upon learning that the sth was the
late set he was confronted with the
liemma Of spending an extra week
iere or making another trip a week
ater. After interviewing the officials
le decided to leave on Tuesday morning.
1t is believed that the Oregon Short
.ine will begin running trains from
lomedale to Nyssa on .Tuly 1. This is
art of the road from Buhl to Nyssa.

Removal News

The agitation to remove the county
seat apparently contains much interest
to the Nampa papers. The Record this
week devotes a couple of columns to the
subject, winding up as follows:
This week Murphy people will cause
notice TO be printed for removal to
that fionrishing town. Murphy the
first of this week had over 400 names on
her petition, and was hot-foot after
more. 1t Is the sole topic Of conversa-
tion over an area large enough to make
two states like Rhode Island, for Owy-
hee county, is an empire in itself. It's
broad fertile acres, extending for nearly
l50 miles along the south bank of the
Snake river, with an area of high noun
tains and grass covered table lands ex-
tending to Nevada, 60 to make up a
section rich in diversified resources,
second to few counties IN the entire list
OF states. While mining and grazing
are the chief industries in the high
country, farming, fruit growing and
stock raising occupy the attention of the
dwellers on the low lands, along the
river. The population OF the farming
territory far exceeds that OF the mining
section. Probably FIVE to one would be
about the correct relation. To move
the county capital from its fastness in
the high mountains, would therefore
seem an easy task, but it isn't.
Those desiring a removal, do not
agree. Bruneau, Grand View and Muir
ply are fighting each other, and if they
continue, Silver City from its peak among
the clouds, will walk off with the prize.
The interest is red hot already, an in
dication that there will be much feeling
before the proposition comes to a vote
at the general election, Nov. next.
Murphy is the only claimant for
county seat honors that has a railroad.
Silver City the present county seat is 25
miles from Murphy the terminus of the
Dewey road Grand View is 25 miles
from Mountain Home its nearest rail-
road point and Bruneau is almost the
same distance. There is no doubt but
what the contest will result in the county
being divided no matter VINO wins in
the county seat seat contest.

A number of silver's young people
have expressed desire for a Literary
and an attempt is to be made to place
such an Institution in the field. We be-
lieve that an organization Of this char
acter would add immensely to the en-
Joyment Of social life in Silver Civ
The idea is to have weekly sessions, per-
haps on Sundays or maybe during the
week. AT these meetings arrangements
could be made for all kinds Of fun, such
as debates, musicales, entertainments.
progressive whist parties, etc. 1t is be-
lieyed that all the young people and
most Of the elders would be glad to enjoy
the fun.
Everybody interested in the formation
OF such an institution is requested to
meet at the office Of DR.. Heer on Sunday
afternoon next, April at three O'Clock
sharp for the purpose Of considering the
matter.

M. E. Reynolds, cashier Of the Bru-
neau State bank, of Bruneau, Idaho,
and 5. P. Noble, a merchant of that
hustling little city, were in Nampa on
Saturday on business trip. Mr.. Rey-
nolds saws that Bruneau is the coming
city OF Owyhee county. The new town
has number of alert business men and
will build a prosperous city in the new
and rich agricultural section. Bsuneau
is on the line OF a new railroad,
is centrally located in Owyhee county
and is but twenty miles from the main
line OF the Oregon Short Line. The
business men of Bruneau are OF the
ambitious sort and are already creating
a stir in the business world of Idaho.
They are circulating petition for chang
ing the county seat from Silver CITY to
that place and are meeting with general
approval, on account of the location of
the town.-Nampa Record.

Abel A. Berg was one, Of the pioneers
of owvhee County and of Silver City.
coming to this town in 1872. He was
born near Arvika, Sweden, on December
10, 1916. At an early age he followed
the sea, until 1871, when he left Sweden
for America, arriving at Sacramento,
California, in the latter part of 1871. He
worked on a ranch and in beet sugar
factory until the following year, when
he struck out Tor Idaho, and landed at
Silver City December 27, 1872. He then
engaged in mining and prospecting, and
worked in all the prominent mines on
War Eagle and Florida mountains. He
was at one time the principal owner of
the Lone Tree group, located in close
proximity to the Trade Dollar mines, his
partners being Messrs. Quinlan, Regan
and Hays. He also owned other good
mining properties on Florida mountain,
and was one OF the principal owners Of
what is now called the Silver City Min
ing and Milling Company's mine. He
sold out most of his interests in this
mine to the above-named company but
always retained a sentimental interest
in the development OF the property.
Mr.. Berg was an Oddfellow of thirty
years standing and loved the order al
most as religion. Only two members
of the Silver City Lodge, now in good
standing, have been members of that
lodge for a longer period than he.
In character Mr. Berg was quiet and
lie had absolutely no
vices and was highly respected by every
body who knew him.

Abel A. Berg was buried on Friday
afternoon at the Silver City Cemetery.

Death of Abel Berg

A wave Of sorrow and gloom
swept over Silver City on Tuesday
morning when it became known
that one of its most respected
citizens and pioneers had passed
to the great beyond. Mr.. Berg
died on Tuesday morning, April2,
after few days serious illness.
The immediate cause of death was
strangulation of the bowels. DR..
Schuyler was in attendance and
on Saturday last fully realized the
serious nature Of the illness. He
advised that Mr.. Berg be taken to
Boise for an operation. 1t was
planned to do this on Monday but
the patient was too weak and after
several hours of unconsciousness
he passed away on Tuesday morn
ing.
His end was peaceful and ap-
parently painless. Mrs. Asher
Getchell was the only person pres
ent as he passed away. Mr.. Ward
and Mrs. Getchell were in attend
ance and upon the occurrence of a i
sinking spell Mr.. Ward went to
summon the doctor. Before he
could return the end came.

Who Wants to be Treasurer

Considerable gossip has been going
the rounds the past few days regarding
candidates for treasurer. Itis whispered
that Brumeau and Enterprise will each
put out candidate for the nomination
and it goes without saying that Silver
Will produce at least two. Miss Cayanev
VIII presumably look for reelection and
Asher Getchell and Mrs. Weston have
both been considered in this connection
by the political wiseacres. Regarding
the two latter it looks as though Gav,s
famous lines in the "Beggar's Opera
hts the case; "How happy l could be
with either, were t'other dear charmer
away" While authority is lacking as
both refused to commit themselves
to the Nugget man, We feel sure that the
gentleman, like Barkiss, is willing, and
probably the same thing applies to Mrs.
Weston. Nugget would respectfully adj
wise the two to get together and throw
dice or dollars to see which shall have
the honor of getting licked.
