GOOD PENSION LAW.

H. B. Jones, probate judge, was
up Sunday. to visit with his Rich
field friends. He has issued two
widows pensions during the past
week. to VIC thy widows near Sho-
shone, who have families of small
children to care for, and not the
means to make living and to care
FOR the children also. The law,
which was passed by the recent leg
isIature, is one of the bcst OF its
kind in the whole United States. 1t
does net provide for any but w.d-
cws whose husbands are dead, or
are in the state penitentiary; cases
Of desert,Cn or incCmpatibility or
n ol-support are MT recognized un-
der this law-though some of them
are as serious as even death. Bst
it is an ideal and humane law in the
field it was designed to cover.

ExURsIoN JUNE 18TH.
Cold Weather Holds Up The Big
Trip to The Dam

1t is announced by the Idaho r.
rigaticn company, that owing to the
cold weather which has held up the
run-off of water from the Big Wood
River water shed, and SO delayed the
filling Of the Magic Reservoir, it
will be desirable to postpone until
on or about the 18th of June the
excursion which is to be run up to
the Magic to see the dam complete
ly filled. Some time ago, the COM
pany announced that the excurs on
would be run if enough people want
ed to go, and that the date would
probably be about the last of May
But the slow melting OF the noun
tain SHOWS has held back the spring
floods, and the reservoir is not yet
filled-though there is enough wa
ter yet to come to fill it and with
water to spare.
There is no project in Idaho, or
in the west, with better water
supply than the Idaho Irrigation Co.
project, and it is a matter that ev-
cry settler should know to his own
satisfaction and for his own infor-
nation as to what to say to peO-
pie who are wanting land and water,
just how good it really is The
excursion planned should take the |
people there in time to see the
great flood pouring over the spill !
way after filling the reservoir, and |
forming one of the greatest catar-
acts in the state. There are. only
two ether water falls in Idaho as /
is about 40 feet high
the other two being ShOshOne Falls
and Twin Falls. It's worth while to
see that great lake OF water stored
up above the dam, and the magnifi-
cent surplus that is being wasted
because there is neither storage to
lold it nor land to use it-insuring

BETTER CITY WATER.
Deep Well May Be Put Down for
RichfieIll System.

While no official announcement
has been made, or can be made at
this time, it is a safe prediction
that some time this summer the
Idaho Irrigation company, owner of
the Richfield water system, vii
take definite action on the ques-
ticn CT supplying better water for
Richfield.
The present source Of water sup
ply is the Little Wood river, hat
a mile below town At one time,
the Little Wood river was a fine
water supply. for all but about
month in the high water time in the
spring. But since water has been
turned into the Burns slough. to
carry water for the South Gooding
and the Dietrich canas, the source
has been not nearly so good. The
slough empties into the Little
Weed about half mile above the in
take for the village water sys.em,
and even at it's best it isn't such
water as ought to be served for de-
metios purposes.
1t is proposed to have a deep well
rut down for a water supply fer the
village, sinking the well on the high
est ground in the. north part of
town This plan is not definite,
but it may easily be followed, and
it should find water that will give
Richfield as good water as any town
in Idaho The Runciman well, just

A business change was effected
in Richfield the first of this week,
whereby Lane & Mcintosh became
the owners Of both the milk routes
that have besn run here for the
past two months They bought tle
route and the property Of the Hol
stein Dairy, from Streitz & Fields,
the original owners, and viii con-
sclidate the two into one. 20 h
dairies were furnishing an excsp-
tional quality of milk, from high
grade or registered Hoiste,n cows,
and any city could have congratu-
lated itself on having even one
dairy as good as either of them.
Mr.. Mcintosh, working manager of
the dairy which holds over, has been
in business here for long time,
with but enc interruption lat year,
and has many friends who will be
pleased to see him in control of

there were two routes in operation.

COLONEL HARVEY, PROPHET

The following editorial comment
of the Washington Star. on the re-
cent prediction made by Col Harvey
of Harper's Weekly, that Senator
Borah will be the Republican nom
inee for president in 1916, will be
of interest to Idaho readers.
Col. George Harvey has ag:.in
taken the field as prophet. Hav-
ing predicted the nomination and
election of Woodrow Wilson TO
the presidency, he now predicts the
nomination of Senator Borah as
the republican candidate in 1916.
Col. Harvey's prophecy in the case
of Mr. Wilson was extraordinary,
considered in connection with the
circumstances of its fulfillment. At
the time it was made beth Col. Har-
vey and Mr.. wilson were ant:-Bryan

the democraoy's only hope was in
the sluelching of Mr. Bryan. Mr..
Wilson expressed a wish that he

A PURE WHITE MOOSE

Seattle. Wash. May, ga pure
white moose was killed in the
Northwest on Kenai Penninsula,
Alaksa. by a trapper, Ezra Hig-
gins some days ago. The skin and
head arrived at Seattle. Wash, the
other day, on the steamship, North
land from Cordova. Alaska. The
fate of the white moose was close
ly guarded in Alaska, and the story
not made public. until after the
Northland left Cordova. The
Thlinket Indians cherish an old
tradition that this or a similar
white moose, was the spirit of an
Indian maiden, the daughter of a
beloved chief. One winter day the
girl left the village for a visit to
another, and became bewildered in
a blizzard and was never seen
again. After the great storm had
passed over. searching parties went
into the ravine of kenai Peninsula
to search for the maiden. When in
the woods a beautiful snUw-white
moose sprang out Of a thicket and
dashed away. Year after year the
Indian have worshipped the albino
moose and f ON time to time the
animal has been seen. Now that an
albino moose has been killed the
Indians will miss it unless as many
hunters think there are several in
that section.
