Hot!

Sunny Southern Idaho has been true
to name the past week, the thermometer
lowering around the 100 mark most OF
the time during the day On Monday
it reached l03, which is high as any flu
ture record ever made here, the same
figure having been reached in July Of
last year and the year before.
As usual the nights have been cool
and refreshing, and following the recent
rains We have had, the warm weather
has been a magnificent thing for al
kinds of crops.
On Monday Mr.. VIM. Popkey becam'
overcome with the heat, which is thu
first case of heat prostration that ha
come to our knowledge in the history O
the tract. A rumor gained circulation
yesterday morning that Mr.. Popkey ha'
died, but this proved to be false, as tn
patient is getting along nicely.

Views The Ruins.

Mr.. A. Kingswold, the ferryman at
the Shoshone Falls, piloted searching
party down the steep cliffs at the falls
last week to view the ruins wrought by
the huge landslide that occurred the
week previous. Ropes and ladders were
used in the descent and though it was
quite perilous undertaking, the party
made the descent and returned without
an accident of any kind.
Once at the foot of the ravine the full
extent OF the slide could be plainly seen.
Where formerly stood the stairway with
several tall trees and rank growth Of
grass and various kinds Of bushes on
either side, there is now only the bare
cliff in the center of which runs the little
stream that undoubtedly caused the
slide. One or two stumps OF trees, par
TALLY uprooted, show through the deep,
soft mud. Steps, trees, grass, bushes
and seats are covered over in deep mud
or lie in the big mound Of debris at the
foot OF the slide. All who ever wen,
down these steps will recall the hundreds
OF names carved on the ratings or on
boards that covered the trees that stood
near the steps. These included names Of
people from prac .ically every state in the
union and many from abroad, all bear
ing testimony to the popularity OF thi'
feature OF the Shoshone falls resort.
A close investigation OF the ruins failed
la..xa
were sacrificed in the slide.
A movement is already on foot among
the business men and other citizens o
Twin Falls for the raising of a fund t.
rebuild the stairway, which will un
doubtedly be built along safer route
and one not susceptible Of being deInol
ished by any land slide.

Two Wendell Families Bereaved.

The Irrigationst of last week gives the
following sad details affecting two OF the
estimable families OF that place:
About week ago the deputy sheriff
and county attorney, on complaint OF
several parties, came up from Gooding
and in an informal way examined A. w.
Eldridge as To his sanity. Since then
formal complaint was lodged against him
by some OF his friends and today Sheriff
Bliss took the man into custody. Ac-
companied 10y Mrs. Charles Roraback
and George Smith as witnesses the party
returned to Gooding on the evening
train. Wednesday evening Mr.. Eldridgt
was taken before probate court and ex.
amined by DR.. Cromwell. At the con
clusion of the inquisition il was decided
the patient was suffering from softeninl
of the brain and the court has ordere,
his commitment to the Blackfoot Asylum
An attendant will arrive fro n the stat
institution this morning to convey hin
hither.
This is an especially sad case, mas
much as the wife is afflicted with tuber
culosis and has four small children de
pending upon her. About a year ag
friends began to surmise that somethin
was amiss with Mr.. Eldridge, sine
which time he has been gradually grow
ing worse. At last as a precautionar
measure and in hopes that treatmer
would affect a permanent cure the ma
ter was called to the attention of the Al
thorities.

Topped the Market.
2.,-3t

We noted a couple OF weeks ago the
the shipment of several ear loads OF
lambs 10y Frazer x link, which were
billed for the Portland market, but ar
irving at Rupert, Mr.. link disposed OF
his interest in the same to good advan-
tage while the Frazer portion were re-
billed to Denver, which seemed to be a
wise move, as these lambs topped the
market of the United States at that
market, over Chicago, Omaha. Kansas
City. and Portland. These lambs had
been corn fed for some time and wer'
considered AS fine a lot as was ever on
the Denver market. This Is only another
feather for the North Side tract, anc
adds more substantial evidence to thu
claim that we have the finest section To-
raising stock OF any place in the coun
try. As this is Mr. Frazer's first expert
ence in raising sheep he of course feel
highly elated over the results OF his frs
wear.
