GEM STATE MINES RICH.
Production Of 1911 Beats Previous
Years Record by Big Figure.

A general increase was shown in the
production from Idaho mines in 1911,
according to G. N. Gerry of the United
States geological survey. This was at
tributable to the increased production
OF all ores except those carrying cop
per and silicious ores, the production
of which decreased in Shoshone and
Owyhee counties. The most notable
increases were In zinc ores, silver
lead ares and placer gold. A gain OF
nearly Is per cent in the gold output
places the production back at a nor
NAL figure after striking low output
In 1910. Gold and silver production
has gradually decreased In 0wyhee
county. and Boise county took the lead
In 1911 In gold production with Gilmore
county probably third.

COWBOY ROPES A LION.
After LassOing Animal, Successfully
Takes 1t To Captivity.

william Trueman, cowboy OF En-
terprise, Utah, exhibited fine con-
tempt for weapons Thursday after
noon when he captured a full-grown
mountain lion, measuring ten feet
from tip to tip, with his lariat rope.
His excuse for not shooting the ami
NAL was that he wanted to get it alive.
The story of the capture Is related by
John Cleghorn, AT Seventh avenue,
who has just returned from a pros
pecting trip in the vicinity of Enter
prise.
"Trueman,' said Mr. Cleghorn, "met
the animal in the hills south of Enter
prise. Although fully armed he de-
cided to take the animal alive, and
pressed his rope into service
with the first throw he lassoed the
lion about the neck. Another quick
hitch muzzled the animal. At is lung
ed in the air Trueman passed another
loop, binding the two front feet to-
gether. Trueman then secured a rope
carried by his son and devoted his at
tention to the hind quarters of the ami
NAL. Within few minutes he had the
mountain lion helplessly bound and
muzzled. He then loaded 1t onto his
saddle and carried it to Enterprise,
where he is endeavoring to sell it. The
animal after placed on the saddle
dragged on the snow on both sides of
the horse.
Cougars are numerous in this part
of this state, often killing full-grown
horses and cattle This is the first
time, however, any of the residents
has captured one Of the animals in

ANOTHER RAID
MADE BY SHERIFF
Arrests Made for Alleged Booze
Selling.
RAID A COMPLETE SURPRISE TO
OCCUPANTS OF EMPORIUMS.
Sheriff Vanausdeln Claims to Have
Complete Evidence in Every Case
Where Arrest Was Made.

The sheriff's office and the police
department of the city are determined
to make Twin Falls dry town if such
thing is possible and are using every
effort to bring those guilty of peddling
booze to justice.
On Sunday evening they quietly
dropped in on several places in this
city and placed the proprietors under
arrest.
One of the places raided is known
as Bob's and Arts place. In
that place Art Harrison, one of the
prOprietors, was placed under arrest,
with two or three others who were in
the room at the time. A visit was also
made to the business kept by w. F.
Burgy and he was placed under arrest.
Burgy is now out on bail, having been
convicted of similar Offense at the
last term of court and the case is now
before the supreme court on appeal.
A man by the name of Peterson was
also arrested. 1t is alleged that he has
been bootlegging in the good old fash
ioned style, handing 1t out to those
who had the price.
The arrested men will have their
hearing before Judge Smith this after
noon.
Deputy Sheriff Hartman returned
yesterday evening from Miner where
he had spent the day. He brought

Dear Sir: l am in receipt of your
invitation to attend the second annual
potato breakfast of Twin Falls chapter
No. 1, Independent Order Baked Potato
Worshippers, on the twentieth of jan
uary.
1t is observed that the breakfast has
been fixed for the witching, not to say
unusual hour of nine o'clock in the
evening. Now, up here in Montana we
do not as rule attack our breakfast
at that hour of the night, nine o'clock
OF the morning being bit more like
the longed-for time.
However, were it possible for me to
be present l should doubtless be able
to do as well as Twin Falls does in q
case OF this nature and participate in
this glorified spudfest at any old hour
set by the presiding geniuses of the /.
O. B. P. W.
The Montana potato, of which you
have no doubt heard, is of SO high a
class that it may be eaten any hour of
the day or night; and far be 1t from
me to intimate that its cousin, the
Idaho spud, carries any defect that re-
quires that 1t be eaten after nightfall;
my only purpose Is to lose no oppor-
tunity to boost bit for Montana,
which sometimes grows potatoes SO
large as to require steam stump pull
Ter to extract them from Mother
Earth.
Seriously, however, appreciate
your kind invitation very much and

SECOND ANNUAL
POTATO FEAST
Independent Order Of Potato
Worshipers to Convene.
EVENT WILL BE HELD SATURDAY
EVENING OF THIS WEEK,
Preparations Being Made For Larger
Crowd Than Gathered at Last
Years Bake.

The great astronomical function on
which all the world is now focusing
It's attention-the Second Annual Bak-
ed Potato Breakfast of the Twin Falls
Commercial club-will take place next
Saturday night at the Masonic Temple
IN Twin Falls. The first annual break
fast just year ago-January 21, 1911
attracted national attention. and
people in every part of the United
States watched eagerly and anxiously
to see what effect breakfast at nine
O'Clock would have on happy and
care-free citizenry. The Denver Re-
publican, staid and respectable jour-
nal of the old-fashioned sort, was
reused to action, and editorially de-
nounced the crime of eating baked po-
tatoes for breakfast. The Idaho Daily
Statesman Loyalty defended the people
of Twin Falls when thus assailed, fully
realizing that 1t had more subscribers
here than in Denver. Other news
papers took up the argument and for
time the discussion waxed warm
The subject OF baked potatoes was on
every tOngue-and so were the pota-
toes
The new and improved double du-
plex method of eating baked potatoes,
as formulated and introduced by the
Twin Falls Commercial club, was tried
and endorsed by people in every walk
in life. Sheepherders, policemen,
bankers, dry goods merchants, dray-
men, politicians, governors, artists,
and even the president of the United
States ate baked potatoes, and one and
all said they were good when taken
tn iVn oI,f
dren In arms dropped their nursing
bottle and grabbed baked potato
whenever it appeared The price of
the raw potato rose, and the farmers
of the Twin Falls tract waxed opulent
for they all had potatoes to SELL
Small wonder was it then that when
the doors of the banquet room were
thrown open last year there was such
crush that every seat was filled in
twinkling. One hundred and thirty
two of the chivalry OF Twin Falls bow
ed down and worshipped at the shrine
of King Baked Potato-and the "flow-
ers' sat at home and wondered what
had become of their spouses 1t was
three a. m. when the last rite was per-
formed-so that the breakfast" was
breakfast after all!
This year 500 invitations were sent
far and wide, and already the replies
indicate that the capacity of the ban
quet hall will be taxed. The invitation
reads:

Worshippers, Twin Falls CHAPTER No

In addition to the baked potatoes
and other foods incident to the menu,
there will be musical, scenic and ora
torial attractions that will help con-
siderably in adding to the uplift of the
occasion. The program committee is
not giving out any more information
than Is positively necessary-in fact
the committee resembles one of our
great statesmen by the manner in
which 1t maintains a noisy silence.

Mr.. Woodward's position is that the
whole contract is illegal. because it
pledges future revenue, and that no
payment can be made on the plant if
there is a protest>in the courts.
A number of city officials are hold
ing up their hands in horror at the
fight on the crematory plant. They say
that such a fight is damaging to the
city's credit.
They continue to charge that the
principal opposition is from friends of
the Georgia Railway and Power Com
pany. because it is contemplated to
build $1,000 electric power plant in
connection with the crematoly. This
would mean competition to the electric
company.
Mr.. Woodward has not said what he
intends to do about the payment on
the plant next year. He has said the
contract was illegal, and stopped at
