Washington, Oct. 10.-Exactly at 2
O'Clock, eastern time, President Will
son, pressed the button which set
an electric current flashing more than
1000 miles over land and dnder seas
to blow up the Gamboa dixie in the
Panama canal and remove the last
obstacle between the two oceans.
A little electric spark originating
when President Wilson pressed the
button in the White House, sped more
than 1000 miles over land and under
water, ignited the immense charges Of
dynamite and practically cleared
the Panama canal Electrical experts
calculated that within four seconds
after the button was pressed, the
current threw a small switch at the
Gamboa dixie, which in turn set in
motion other apparatus, furnishing
the current which exploded the
charges.
From Washington to Galveston,
Texas, 1856 miles, single wire car
ried the spark. There it was taken
up instantaneously by sensitive re-
peating instruments and sped over
the cable along the bottom Of the
Gulf of Mexico to Coatzacoalcos, Mex
leo, 798 miles further. From that
point it sped overland across the
Isthmus Of Tehuantepec, 1888 miles to
another cable station at salina Cruz,
on the Pacific ocean, where other
sets of sensitive telegraph instru-
ments snatehed it up and hurried it
766 miles through another cable on
the bottom of the Pacific ocean to.
San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua, a cable
station. There other delicate ma
chimes transferred it to still another
cable and shot it 71s miles more to
Panama. When the spark emerged
from its long submarine journey It'll
took the overland telegraph wires oil
the Panama Railroad company and
completed its mission at the Gamboa
dixie.

A ZIG FARM SALE.
statesman,


One of the biggest deals made in
Idaho irrigated land was closed Tues
day when L. H. Sweetser, former
lieutenant governor of the state.
traded his 1040-acre ranch on Raft
river Cassia county to ]. N. Dech-
ambeau for property in Canyon and
Boise counties. The ranch is valued
at 100000 and the total value of
property involved in the trade is es-
timated at $145,OOO. in addition to
cash involved.
The deal is a notable one, as the
SweetZer ranch is known as one of
the best stock farms in the world. 1t
is all under irrigation and in high
state of cultivation. With it goes a
valuable herd of stock cattle and
number horses. The ranch itself
is surrounded by fine range and
it is estimated that it can support
1000 head of stock cattle.
In consideration of the ranch Mr..
Sweetser takes over lands adjoining
and within the town of Emmett
stock cattle being fed in Boise val
ley estimated to be worth $14 900, a
lumber yard at Montour, and an in
terest in timber lands above Horse
shoe Bend, valued at $4,000 and the
balance in cash The deal was closed
through the agency of B. F. Wardell
& Co., local real estate dealers.
Mr. Sweetzer has been living on the
Raft river property, but he will now
make his home on place he has at
Burley, and later he may move to
Emmett, since he now has large in
terests there.
Just before he sold the Raft river
Dlace Mr.. SWeetzer sent to the Ma
tional Corn exhibit at Columbia, s.
c., an exhibit of prize oats raised on
the place, and the state agricultural
experts declare the Carton head that
is a part of the exhibit to be the big
gest ever raised in the northwest and
probably the biggest ever grown.
The exhibit was prepared to illustra-
te to the farmer the advantage of
using the best seed obtainable.
The big head of oats contained In
the exhibit is from a seed produced
by Carton the English oat breeder,
and sent by him to the Moscow ex-
pertinent station.

Era Flat, Big and Little Lost rivers
and a lot of the mountains and des-

again except in the month of June.
In the winter season it is out of
the question, and the rest of the year
it is greater punishment than to go
around by stage and by rail.
1t costs Blaine county $62 to
bring juror or witness from the
Era flat or Arco country to HALEY,
and it looks so close on the map.
They have to travel through four
counties, and change cars at Black
foot, Pocatello, and Shoshone. 1t
is very little easier to go from the
west end of Fremont county to St..
Anthony, and they travel through
four counties and change stage and
cars at Arco, B1ackfoot, and Ida
no Falls.
Those who live over in the edge
of Lemhi county are prohibited from
having anything to do with their
county seat, Salmon, except in the
summer season. 1t would be nee
essary to take the stage to Arco, and
change cars at Blackfoot, and Red
Rock, Montana, and then get back in
to Idaho on the Grief & Pain
Road"
The new county is designed to
pick up these inaccessible places
and combine them into a new one,
