y, The wisdom of the governors Of

-. the development Of the last few
s.ortbs I'm the conservative course taken
- insure a well fortified position at this
tive Earlier in the season many were
s.,l,,ed 10 criticise the maintenance of a
. mar cent discount rate. in view of the
a.r,od and the comparatively large stock
~ gold being accumulated.
Restraint in Steel Trade.
Tho trade situation abroad in the iron
"a steel markets. as given by the foreign
.o,respondents Of THE Iron Age" recent
~ indicates that there is restraint in
tho general steel business, but that in
,,onv directions there are indications that
rrices are near the bottom. 1t is said
that certain Alabama pig iron makers
and Independent steel manufacturers are
-nsking overtures for export business,
while the Standard Oil Company is con-
thinning its inquiry for tin plates abroad.
The Berlin correspondent writes that the
si.patIon in Germany is slightly better for
steel bars following a general downward
movement which has continued for
nsriod OF eight months. and that now
slightly frmer tendency is shown. 1t is
,snorted that the Belgian markets for
Mate export trade continues TO show
weaker tendency.
Underlying Tone Better.
The foreign investment field continues
70 offer some mixed factors in the study
,scessarv TO arrive at a reasonable basis
Of conclusion. but there is an underlying
slarnent which is most encouraging. Sur
face conditions prevail that very much
resemble the situation in this country.
The public there is not favorable TO new
issues, and many offerings have been left
IN the hands of underwriters, but ap-
parently this has not been for lack or
money. as when these issues have reached
q discount state that has made them espe-
elslly attractive from yield standpoint
thew have been absorbed. and there has
been continuously a growing investment
demand which promises well for the buy
ing power abroad. Eventually this steady
soaking up Of issues on the market Will
relieve congestion and bring about a bet
fer feeling and a revival of public invest
ment interest.

Death from Contact
With Electric Wire.
Two Linemen Dead. Another
Seriously Injured.

A special dispatch from Rupert
to the Twin Falls Press on Monday
says:
Without an instants warning and
suddenly as fash of lightning out
of a cloudless sky, two lives were
snuffed out at Acequia by deadly
live wire and third man was SER
iously though not fatally injured.
Strung along the railroad for a
mile were IA men, employees of the
Mountain States Telephone COM
pany. They were engaged in mov-
ing the telephone line from one side
of the railroad track to the oppo-
site side, pa feet away, where new
poles had been set. The old line
was strung on 25-foot poles and
above them on 4O-foot poles was the
government high tension wire car
| rylng o,OOU volts
Fortunately but three men had
hold of the wire that in twinkling
of an eye was transformed to a
thing most deadly. Ordinarily six
men or even the entire gang would
have hold of the wire. in which
event they would have all been
killed or injured.
| AS the men pulled, one end of
the wire Topped up and struck the
the high tension wire. The three
who had hold stood on the ground
They dropped as though shot the
instant the loose end struck the
high tension. One was killed out
right, one lived for a short time.
His tongue and throat were 50 bad
ly swollen that he is said to have
: literally choked to death before
= medical aid could reach him. The
third man Ed. Berry, was badly
burned and was at first thought u
be fatally injured. He was brought
to this place and given the best OF
care. The attending physicians say
that he will recover unless compli-
cations set in.

PARADISE OF DAIRYMEN. "

Familiar ~ he is through his oc-
cupation with the dairy business,
Sheldon B. Coon, who was in Boise
Yesterday after spending several
days in this section in behalf of the
silo manufacturers whom he repre-
sents as sales manager, expressed
keen satisfaction with the future of
southern Idaho as THE paradise of
dairymen. "
1t is amazing to me, y he said
that more Of your agriculturalists
in this section have not taken uI
dairying as an occupation. ! have
studied the dairy question in all
parts of the northwest and | never
have been so strongly impressed as
am with southern Idaho. 1t sur
passes any region | have seen foi
dairying and the time will come
when this will be recognized as thu
true dairy center of the coun
try. 1t is a profitable, ,congenial ano
interesting branch of farming an'
more of your people ought to taxi

Last Saturday says the Filler Jour
nal. the alfalfa meal mill was sold
at referee sale. There was good
attendance at the sale but only two
bidders-Col. Aiken, Of Twin Falls,
and f. d. Brown, of Filler. The
mill was finally knocked down TO
Mr.. Brown for three thousand three
hundred dollars. That this pro-
perty went dirt cheap is known to
all, but it is a hard proposition TO
make a stock company proposition
win. This company was bound 10
lose from the start The men who
engineered the proposition formed
wheel within wheel from the
start. They never had the conf
dence Of the stockholders, and
sought Ia use the business for theii
own advantage. Large salaries wer'
paid, commissions given the Officers
to sell the meal, etc, etc. Now
that the mill has passed into othel
hands perhaps it is best to let th'
matter pass and remain quiet.
