MRS. sOHLBERG DIES.
Bride of a Few Months Is Taken
With Little Warning.

Mrs. Joseph E. Sohlberg, of Rich
field, died at her home in the city, We'd
nesday night, after weeks illness.
Her husband left Thursday with the
body, to take her back to her old home
in Denver for burial.
When she came here just after
Christmas, a bright, beautiful bride,
any one whe saw her would have pre-
dicted for her long and happy life.
She was taken violently i'll little more
than week ago, and two doctors were
summoned to her aid They could not
with all their skill make good the heart
action that was constitutionally weak;
and in the end she was taken to her
long rest, with her little babe that new
er knew the mother who gave her life
for it. The nurse was holding her up
in bed, to relieve spasm of pain and
to administer medicine, when the heart
stopped its beat-and she never knew
of the coming of the last call.

DEEP WELL DRILLERS
o. s. L. Crew Going Deep In
Search of Water.

The crew of we'll drillers for the
Oregon Short Line have their der
rick and machinery set up ready
for work here in Richfleld and
will soon be going down steadily in
search of water. They will start
with 15-inch drill, the point of
which weighs 1000 pounds. and aft +
driving that for 20 feet or more,
will substitute a 12-inch point. The
drill itself and the drill rods, the
moving parts weigh 5000 pounds,
and the derrick is 65 feet high.
The apparatus is capable of going
to depth of $500 feet-though
they should find an abundance of
water at little if any more than 400
feet. One of the men with the drill
worked last year on a hole 1900
feet deep, in West Virginia.

Rev. W. ]. Herwig, of Boise,
state superintendent of the Anti
Saloon League, was a visitor in
Richfield Saturday and Sunday, and
spoke in the Methodist church Sun
day morning. AS he had not know
until day or two before, that he
would be here Sunday, the word was
not widely circulated; which, to-
gether with the rain, left a rather
small audience to attend the SER
vices. The address was of unusual
strength and value. Rev. Herwig
will spend the next two weeks in
Lincoln county, organizing the dry
voters in the various precincts. 1t
is expected that there will be a
large majority against the saloon,
bur still it is the intention of the
League to work as though the re-
suit depended on every single vote
that they could influence.

The Idaho Irrigation company is
going to work to secure contracts
for wiring all the availabel houses

especially liberal offer, to install the
wiring for the residences, and to
allow the use of the current with
out charge from now until the
first of September, when real nee
essity for lights will begin to come
On. 1t is expected that practical
ly every house in town will be wir-
ed for electricity. If it should be
that arrangements are made for
plentiful supply of electricity so as
to have it for cooking, heating and
power purposes, Richfield will be
In line with the biggest cities in

KILLED FOR CHAMBERS
Three Horses Found to Be Af-
fected by the Disease

By order of the state veterinar-
ian, who was here Friday, three
horses belonging to James Gum,
northeast of town, were killed be-
cause of their being affected with
the glanders This disease is al
most surely fatal to horses, and
can also be communicated to human
beings; it is recognized as the
most deadly of all the live stock
diseases, especially because of its
effect on humanity. The state de-
stroys such animals as matter of
public policy, without making re-
compense to the owner, who 1t is
figured would have to lose them
anyhow; so Mr.. Gum will have to
stand the loss of his team force,
cent of repayment from
the authority that destroys them.
No other cases are known in this
and it is not believed that
the disease will spread.

ROCK CULvERTs
Richfleld Highway District VIII
Use Home Product

Manager Kays of the Idaho Irriga-
tion company took w. T. Dougherty
and X. G. Phelps, of the local board
down to Dietrich Saturday, to show
them some of the fine new stone
culvers that are being built by the
Dietrich road district. The culverts
are built of lava rock, and are ar
tistic as well as practically everlast-
ing; while the cost is little more
than would be the cost of steel or
cast iron pipes large enough to car
ry the water for drains and irri-
eating bitches. Besides costing only
so little more, practically the whole
sum is paid out for labor right at
home, and there is no freight, and
no labor cost that goes to steel
workers and steel magnates in other
states. The local commission ex-
poets to adopt this system of con-
struction wherever possible on the
Richfield tract. Most of the little
coulees where bridges will be need
ed, have rock bottoms, so that it
will be easy to find foundation for
the stone structure

Hugh Bower and Earl Bolte of

to enter tennis tournament with
the Richfield players. The rain cam
before they had finished three sets
of doubles, which was only part
of the program that had been laid
out; so the result Is at best only
a partial measure of the capacity
of the respective players The Wis
itors, playing doubles with Essley
and Walker, two of the fast local
players, won two sets of the three.
The visitors are fast, heady play
ers, capable of making a good show
ing anywhere; but it happened that
the weather particularly favored the
style of game. Both of them are

HOW to Vote Your Sentiments
Say "Yes'' IF You Want Lincoln County Kept Dry;
Say "No' If You Want the Open Saloon--Hs
Only Ten Days Until the Election.

Do you know how to vote in the
coming local option election, SC
that your vote will express just
what you wish it to express?
The question is practically stat
ed in the negative form from what
it would be expected; it is in these
words
Shall the sale or disposal of in
toxicating liquors as a beverage be
prohibited in Lincoln county, Ida
ho?"
Since this is a re-submissiOn of
the old question, it might natural
ly be supposed that the statement
would be reversed, SO as to make
"Yes'' vote mean to allow the sale
of liquor after it had been pro-
hibited. But in order to vote a.
gainst the sale of liquor, one must
vote yes; to vote for licensing,
one must vote No AS the ques-
ton is stated, it assumes that IL
quor-selling has been, and is, Gus
tomary if not absolutely right, and
that one must by affirmative action
take away that right OF sale and
use.
Anyhow, to vote against legaliz-
ing the sale of liquor, one must
vote yes"

cellars are injured. Eggs that have
been rained upon or have been wet

in a few hours
Eggs even taste of the box board
in which they are Grated for ship
ment. Some epicures find the eggs
with tinted shell to be of finer
flavor than the eggs with a white
shell. A whole roomful Of eggs pack
ed and in storage have been known
to take the flavor of lemons stored in
the same building but separated from
the eggs by brick wall.
The taste of an egg is also innu-
enced by the seasons Spring eggs.

Sustained By Court
Commissioners Win In Division Of
School Territory.

Richfield, Shoshone and Jerome school districts
will divide the 18 miles of main line railroad, worth
for taxation purposes almost $1,2OO,OOO according
to the decision just handed down by the district
court sustaining the county commissioners who
divided the territory. Sh0shOne sought to secure
all the territory, first by petition and then in the
courts. 1t is understood they will appeal the
to the supreme court.
If the Recorder understands the case correctly,
the legal basis for the ShOshOne contest is that
where existing school district is dis-organized,
this ter itory by county division, they hold
it is mandatory for the commissioners to immedi-
atey annex it to organized district for the pur
pose of government. Where this theory would lead
be Judged by applying it to the Jerome district
The Jerome district cut in two and similarly
disorganized by county division. They have $40
school children---yet under this theory they must
be annexed to some adjoining small rural district;

Richfeld Jerome and other districts join on to un-
organized territory which joins it. The commits
sOners held that unOrganized and disOrganized ter
ritOry are substantially synonymous, and so they
divided the territory they believed just. The
district court sustains their decision.
Should the supreme court sustain the ShOshone
contention that the ds-organized territory must be
annexed to some adjoining district it would cas-
lily be possible and feasible, to annex the whole
