POWER CITY TO FLOAT
ONCE MORE
River steamer to be used in unique
placer mining plan by Califor-
nian on Snake river

The Power City, river steamboat
with a history, has been sold again.
and the new owners purpose getting
gold with her, which is, 1t is said
more than any previous owner has
been able to do. c.. A. Nelson, of
California, Is the new owner, and
his plan is to use the boat to dredge
the sand bars along the Snke river
for gold. Already he has bought a
40 horse power engine, workmen
have started to raise the boat from
it's present position-stranded on
a sandbar, and dredging machinery
has been ordered. Fernando Han
son will be associated with Mr.. Nell
SON is the venture
The Power City has had an in
teresting and some what unlucky
history Three years ago it was
built by Captain Rudd with the ex-
press intention of using the boat as
a freighter on the Snake. They ex-
peted to haul hay and grain from
Horse Island to American Falls.
Rudd was dissolute, the business
never got under way properly, and
lumber company took the boat for
a lumber used in constructing it.
Thereby a number of local people
who had bought stock got stung.
Since Rudd's time the boat has
had numerous owners, and still
more numerous accidents; also it
has been put to many uses. While
being used to haul gravel for the
elevator building, the engine became
unruly and the old tub drifted
down against the wagon bridge
above the falls. Later while be-
ing used as a pleasure boat it ran
aground on sand bar up the river,
and there it now is.

1t was the most brilliant event in
Idaho's history. The building was
gorgeously lighted with all manner
Of electrical devices, beautiful music
was classically played, and many of
the states most, charming women
were there. attired in exquisite |
gowns. The grand march at 1890 |
was a regal, beautifully impressive
and imposing pageant. Punch was
served all during the evening, and |

proved too much for
the legislators, and the morning seS

account of lack of quorum.
The legislature is not yet down to

Is feeling out the ground before

GOOD HOGS
Captain Peck Writes Of Great
Profits In Swine

The better and larger breeds of
hogs are reliable and dependable
source of profit to the farmer with
a few acres as we'll as to the one
who owns and operates the large
farms of the state, and this is es-
pecially true now that there has
been found a way to prevent the
spread of hog cholera, that scourge
that has cost the State of TenHes-
see, as we'll as other States, so
many million dollars.
There is shortage of meats
that is world wide at the present
time, and prices are therefore
good. The shortage is such that
can not soon be overcome, and
with the adaptability of this State
to live stock production, its farm
ers should be in position to reap
the benefit Of the good prices that
are sure to obtain for many years
to come. 1t is time for the Ten
nessee farmer to take advantage
of bis opportunities in the way of
meat production.
In raising hogs for the market,
or for his own meat, the farmer
should use the breeds that make
the better, bigger and thriftier
animal. II is hard to understand
why some farmers are opposed to
getting rid ofthe mongreI breeds.
The hog that is capable of turning
corn and slops and good pasture
grasses quickly into pork is the
variety every farmer should haye.
Hog raising ought to be as much
a rart of farming operations as is
the growing of crops. We ought
to grow the hogs that can be
economically fed. The hog is a
mortgage litter and a bank-roll
fattener, and | would repeat again
that the farmers of this State
should give this industry more at
tention.

HOOPER AND CRUMP
Record Some Tart Sayings About
Each Other

Governor Ben w. Hooper went
to Memphis Thursday of last week
and delivered a speech on law en-
forcement. The Commercial APP
peal comedies that there were TO-
900 people at the speaking. From
private sources we learn that many
claim the crowd much larger, some
estimating it as high as $4,000. In
this speech Gov. Hooper spoke
from the shoulder out and did not
mince words. He arraigned Crump
and the Wbiskey gang in most
unmerciful terms.
Crump replied IN a bitter, de-
mandatory TRADE, accusing the
Governor of being a liar, a thief
and an assassin, showing clearly
that either the speech of the Gov
eSnor or the large crowd that
heard it caused the Memphis may
or to sit up and take notice.
The Governor replied to the
abuse of Mayor Crump in a very
few words as follows:
Il have read with sensations of
genuine pleasure the mild, modest
and delicate comment of Mayor
Crump in regard to my Memphis
speech. His statement constitutes
the last mad rawlings of the lawless
liquor interests, driven into a cor
ner and doomed to slaughter.
Coarse personal abuse and bill
would naturally be ex-
pectsd from the official represent
alive and confessed advocate Of
protected lawlessness, vice and
crime.
Mr.. Crump reaches the climax
OF his impotient rage by character
izing me as a liar, a thief and an
assassin If these things we're
true, there would be no political
antagonism between the Crump
gang and myself"
