JEFF COMING BACK? WITNESS
MCFARLAND.
Salt Lake Tribune.

Salt Lake Tribune.
Jim Jeffries is evidently complete
ly minus a sense of direction. For
whereas he insists he's coming back,
Packey Mcfarland declares he's
back-in fact has been on his way
there for, 10 these many years.
In substantiation of the same
Packey offers to fight Jeffries him
self, as witness the following semi
challenge.
"If Jim Jeffries decides to come
back III fight him myself, and I'll
beat him, too. Did you ever hear
how he treated me in Los Angeles in
1908? He refereed my bout with
Freddie Welsh and during the twenty
five rounds he drank twenty-one bot
ties of beer, also making a hundred
cigarettes. At the end of the bout he
declared it a draw, although I won
by two city blocks. I shall never
forget the raw deal I received and
I'd just like to put on the gloves with
Jeff to show that he never can
come back"
OF course, that hundred cigaretts
somewhat disturbs the credibility of
the witnesses testimony. but in sub
stance the statement is correct.
And beer was the substance 1t is
declared.

RAILROAD FOR LITTLE LOST
RIVER REGION.

E. R. Hawley, the pioneer stock
man, farmer and irrigationist of
Little Lost river, was In town last
week on his way home from winter
rest in Southern California, and stat
ed that he had succeeded in interest
ing some capitalists in projecting a
railroad from Cerro Grande to the
mines of the Yellow Jacket and
Blackbird country in Lemhi county,
and that trip over the route of the
proposed road is contemplated by
some of them this spring or in early
summer.
The resources of the country thru
which the proposed road would be
built, Mr.. Hawley says, consist of
such variety that it would furnish
tonnage for the road under all con-
ditions and in all seasons, the eli
mate being such that agriculture and
horticulture are bound to develop in
to flourishing business with all the
attendant industries.
Cerro Grande is on the Mackay
branch 81 miles out from Blackfoot,
and in the midst of the Snake river
plains which are now receiving so
much attention for use as dry farms
under the Enlarged Homestead Act.
About five miles to the westward
from Cerro Grande is Holland Bros,
cattle ranch, at the site of the old
Butte stage station where wafer IS

MYSTERY OF THE DESERT.
Mackay Miner.

An article in recent issue of the
Pocatello Tribune tells of strange
region in the desert which lies north
of that city and south and east of
Mackay. In recent interview
published in the Tribune citizen of
Pocatello. who has visited the place
in question says:
Lying between the Snake river on
the south and the Sawtooth range of
mountains on the north and between
Lost river and Wood river lies a
really wonderful country Near what
is known as "Cinder hill' is a great
crater two or three hundred feet
deep, and about the same in width.
The sloping walls of this crater are
covered with fine, loose lava, and it
is impossible for anyone to descend
without using a rope Near this era
ter are fields of rough lava abound
ing in assures and crevices ten to
twenty feet wide and from so to 100
feet deep.
Now here is strange thing-a
real mystery of the desert. Through
this great lava plain near the Cinder
hill, trail, half mile in length, six
feet wide and from SIX to ten feet
deep, has been constructed by I'M
know parties. 1t must have cost at
least 100000 to build. Who built it
and for what purpose is a deep mys-
terry. I know of no one besides my
self who has seen it. Men who have
lived within a few miles OF 1t for 20
years are ignorant of it's existence
I happened to stumble on 1t not long
ago, and some of these days I am
going to see where it leads. 1t has
been closed for a number of years
but is still passable, believe.
at is said there is a stream OF
water and about 1000 acres of rich
meadow land in the heart of the
great lava plain somewhere. Men
have been unable to find 1t. It is
said the stream originates in a poi

NEW YORK AMERICANS IN GOOD

Frank Chance and his New York
Americans have practically finished
the most promising training trip F..
Farrell's club has ever enjoyed. On
Tuesday afternoon the athletes sail
ed FOR New York to put on the finish
ing touches for the opening of the
long campaign. Games in Brooklyn
a week from to-day and the follow
ing Monday should furnish some real
line on the outlook for the peerless
leader.
So far as training is concerned
there is nothing to it. The boys are
all in the very pink of condition. Far
more has been accomplished on this
island in the month that all the
players have been there than could
be imagined by anybody not on hand

GRAND JURY ADJOURNS.

After twelve-day session, during
which a grand total Of 81 true bills
of indictment were returned, the
Bannock county grand jury, called by
District Judge Bulge to investigate
and inquire into law violations Of all
character in this county, adjourned
sine die late Saturday night. In an
elaborate report submitted to Judge
Bulge, the jury recommended the
construction Of a new Jail; thor
ough renovation of the present court
house; the auditing of the books "a
all county officials, and the calling
of a grand jury at frequent intervals
to suppress violations of the local
option laws.

lay in the fact that it varied but lit
tie. 1t was all good the team was
able to practice hard every day.
Chance has done wonders with the
tail-end aggregation since assuming
command. He was his chief worry
when he first reported 1t was the
ambition of Chance to act as playing
manager once again, but the move
involved plenty of risk. The great
Hal Chase had to be switched from
first base to second to make room
for the peerless leader. Chase hal
not played the keystone for many
years. First base play had become
second nature to him. But he went
to his new task with a right good
will and appears to have remastered
it. There is just one fault with
Chase. He is da0hing blade, reck-
less to a degree, and is consequently
inclined to take too great risks with
his own persons. He forgets some
times, that the hazards of his new
position are far greater than they
were at first base. Hal is so fast and
shifty, however, that he can protect
himself in situations that would be
next to fatal to less agile player. If
he is fortunate enough to go through
the season without serious harm he
is bound to prove as great revela-
tion at the midway as he has always
been on the initial cushion.

of the trip of an expedition to go
out from Pocatello in May to re-dis-
cover if possible the mystic springs
that are said to rise in a great mea-
dow-like depression in the lava plains
to the southwark from the Big Butte,
the purpose being to solve some of
the mysteries of the half-explored
plains and in the event that water is
found, to establish stock ranch in

panorama of wierd wonders rivalling

To the north of Cerro Grande. lies

present held up in its development by
litigation. North of that are the old
err settlements of Little Lost river

perhaps the best land in the state
for sugar beets, grains, grasses and
hardy fruits. The Wilbert Mines in
the range north of Howe are turning
out lead and copper ore in such
grade and quantity that two auto
trucks and eighteen six-horse teams
are kept busy hauling it to Arco fol
shipment, the distance being about
forty five miles.
Ten miles farther up the valley
is the Badger creek mine yielding
lead, silver and gold in paying guam
titles. There is natural easy grade

vivid idea of the Puritan con-
science; it had its strength, but

a different thing was the attitude

When they did anything wrong,
they called it "a bad shot

Human Hearts" at Opera House.

Few plays can boast Of the record
held by "Human Hearts" which will
appear at the Lyceum Theatre next
Monday night, December lst, either as
a money maker or equal the hold it has
on the amusement loving public, The
play which is in four acts and six scenes
is replete with thrilling dramatic situa-
tions and bright wholesome comedy and
the many odd characters in Human
Hearts" furnish splendid opportunities
for the capable cast that has been en-
gagged to portray them.
The story of the play is woven about
Tom Logan, an honest, young black
smith IN the Arkansas Hills, who mar
ries fine confidence woman. Things
go smoothly enough at first. but the
wife soon tires of country life and gets
herself and poor Tom into great trouble,
The play will be produced here with its
full cast and complete scenic produc-
tion, and is Drimful of good, healthy
comedy. You should not miss it!

Hospital for Tupelo.

Judging from the favorable sentiment
that exists among the solons, when it
convenes il January, says a jackson
despatch, the Legislature will establish
a new state hospital at TuPelo.
There is no state hospital at any point
in North Mississippi. Tupelo being ac-
cessible, on account Of its railroad con-
nections, a majority of the lawmakers
advocate placing hospital at that place
and later establishing another at some
place in the northwestern section of the
state. New Albany, Grenada. Clarks-
dale and Greenville have been suggested
as suitable for a hospital in Northw est
Mississippi. New Albany and Clarksdale
appear to have the greatest number of
supporters.
The city Of Tupelo and the county in
which is situated will, it is stated here,
subscribe literally toward establishing a
hospital The Legislature will be asked
TO pass bills authorizing the city and
county to vote bonds to aid the hospital.
Representative Carrothers will Introduce
the Tupelo hospital bills.

.1ilson a Wise Leader.

Referring to President Wilson's
Mexican policy, the New York
Evening Post says: 1T is, in its
essence, a policy of healing and
of help, not of aggression of war.
Fortunately, there is scarcely any
war feeling in the country. Our
people are obviously ready to
heed ex-President Taft's patriotic
Injunction to refrain from belli-
cose demonstrations and to sup
port the administration in its
calm and patient efforts to bring
about a peaceful adjustment in
Mexico. )"
This seems to accurately de-
scribe the state of public opinion
in the United States. None of
the developments Of the Mexican
situation up to date, and some Of
them have had a sensational col
or, has produced any perceptible
degree of popular excitement on
this side of the Rio Grande. But
conditions might be changed at
any moment by some intolerable
act or design Of the Mexican die
tator. Just now, howevef, it is
certain that there is scarcely
any war feeling in the country. F"
That is simply saying that the
people are initiating the example
of President Wilson in whom, in
the present controversy, they re-
pose unbounded confidence. They
realize that his respect for the
national honor, dignity and in
terest, is as great as their own,
and they realize at the same
time that his knowledge of the
Mexican situation is far more ac-
curate in every detail, owing to
his official sources of information,
than theirs can possibly be. That
is why they trust him implicitly,
and why they refuse to get eX-
cited wMle he remains calm and
cool. The Daily States.
