TWO VETERAN NEWSPAPER
MEN FOR THE LEGISLATURE

Two of the first newspaper men to
become engaged in the work Of pro
noting the development of this part
of Idaho when the water was turned
from the Magic dam into the irrigat-
ing canals find themselves running for
the legislature this year, one in Good
ing county and the other in Lincoln
county, Edwin T. Barber and Charles
J. Lisle being the two. Barber and
Lisle used to publish the Shoshone
Journal and started the Gooding
Leader when they disposed of their
newspaper interests in this town. Lisle
is still publishing the Richfield Re
corder and was nominated last Satur-
day for Representative from Lincoln
county. Barber was selected to run
for the State Senate in his county.
Both are Republicans and men of first
class ability. While Barber is opposed
by two other candidates in Gooding
county for his party nomination Lisle
has c,eqI track for the race IN No

MOVE FOR SAVING
WOOD RIVER FISH
THE GAME WARDEN WOULD SET
APART WATERS BELOW MAGIC
DAM AS TROUT PRESERVE

In accordance with the suggestions
Of many sportsmen through the Jour
nal Game Warden Gowen has about
determined to establish a fish reserve
at the Magic dam. He is looking for
authority of law for this action before
he takes it. If authority cannot be
found already provided the Legislat-
ure no doubt will be asked to inter-
vene. Two miles below the main dam
is sought to be set apart for the pres :
ervation of the fish that cannot go
further up stream and being halted
there are easily taken in hundreds of
pounds.
Speaking the other day of his visit
up the Wood river Mr. Gowen said;
There is a tremendous demand for
young trout in the Wood river coun-
try. III bet I saw two thousand au-
tomobiles up there on Saturday. They
were thicker than they are in the
streets of Boise. The waters of that
section are more thoroughly fshed
than any others in Idaho. unless it is
perhaps the Occur dAlene lakes that
are so accessible to the people of SpO-
kane"
Warden Gowen paid visit to Hay
spur hatchery and has in mind big
improvements for that place. He be
lieves the conditions there are ideal
for the propagation Of fish, and can
see no reason why the hatchery there
should not be enlarged and greatly
improved.

BIG GRANGE PARTY is BEING
PLANNED FOR WOOD RIVER

The folks of the Wood river coun
try north of Shoshone belonging to and
interested in the Grange of that local
ity are advertising a shadow party for
the evening of Saturday, August %, at
Peck's school house. There are scores
of people who remember with un-
bounded pleasure former social func-
tions of the Wood River Grange when
the farmers and their families come
together for delightful feasts and re-
union from all the countryside
On this occasion it is intended that
a collation. to furnish forth the feast
shall be provided as in an old fash
ioned box party. The lady with whom
the man shall sit at table is to be
picked out by her silhouette thrown
upon a curtain, it being expected that
fun alive win be afforded by this
means.

SKETCHES OF CANDIDATES.

The nomination of Price Newman
for the responsible office of County
Commissioner will meet with favor
throughout the county. Mr.. Newman
has been for years one of the substan-
tial men of the county owning large
property which has been carefully
managed. His sound business judg-
ment and his stake in the community
as tax payer together qualify him
to look after the matter of levyine
and spending public money. For this
reason Mr.. Newman was recently
called to the board of school trustees
of Shoshone, giving to the admins
tration of that office just what was
expected Of hini-the very best intel
iigence and fidelity.

WAR NEWS UP TO THE TIME
THE JOURNAL WENT TO PRESS

The German fleet and the British

lives.
Emperor William of Germany has
called upon all true Germans to de-
fend the Fatherland.
The Germans have invaded Belgium
in an attempt to get to France by a
short cut, and the Belgians are resist

in battle near Liege Belgium. Both
sides are losing heavily, the Germans
being killed by thousands.

According to reports from London,
Italy is preparing to declare war on
Austria. The triple alliance-Austria

popular with the Italian people. The
disputes between the two countries
arising over the ownership Of territory

ians, and declaration Of war is eX-
pected at any moment.

GRIM REAPER TAKES YOUNG
MOTHER, MRS. A. w. HANSEN

The news of the distressing condi-
ton Of Mrs. Arthur w. Hansen, who
was taken TO a Boise hospital Tuesday
evening, was a shock to all Shoshone.
In the morning her temperature had
risen to 1O5. When her life was found
to be in imminent peril it was de-
termined at once that she be taken
to the capital city, whence a physician
had been called in consultation. The
report came back that. the lady had
stood the hardship Of the journey and
that an operation followed immediate
ly on her arrival at the hospital.
A wire received from Boise this
morning brings the news Of the un-
timely death Of Mrs. Hansen, which
occurred Thursday night at hah-past
seven o'clock. 1t was further stated

today, probably on train No 10 this
evening.

NEXT ELECTION OF VITAL
IMPORTANCE IN SHOSHONE

Tuesday, August II, is the next cleo
ton day in Shoshone. The vote taken
viii determine the question Of issuing
bonds to the amount of $4,000 for
buying outright the waterworlls sys-
tenn Of the town. Water should be fur
nished the citizens of the town at a
good deal less expense than the pres
ent average cost thereof to the house
holder. Citizens believe that munich
pal ownership will bring down the
cost. Certain it is that the correct
policy is not that the town shall enter
upon the proposed enterprise to make
money out of it but to furnish water
at a cost only sufficient to pay main
tenance of the plant and it's operation
and to provide sinking fund for the
redemption of the bonds at maturity.
At present the ordinary 5-roOm dwell
ing is taxed $3.50 per month for water
Other dwellings, pay in proportion to
this amount, according to their size.
These charges may well be reduced.
If municipal ownership will work that
end let US have municipal ownership
right quick.

MISS HANSEN CABLES HOME
FOLKS FROM SEAT OF WAR.

A cablesram from Miss Lille Han
sen was received by her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Chris Hansen, Wednesday
evening. The message stated that the
sender was at Amsterdam well and
safe and would remain there until
favorable opportunity presented for
her return home without any idea of
completing her tour as planned when
the sudden war convulsed all Europe.
In the news of the week have appeared
accounts of distressing conditions
among American tourists on the con-
tinent. Thousands found themselves
utterly without means although hav-
ing with them the usual letters Of
credit that are perfectly good in times
Of peace but useless for present needs.

BEING RESTLESS
BABY IS SAVED
LIGHTNING BURNED BED FROM
WHICH MRS. VREOENBURGH
HAD JUST TAKEN HER LITTLE
BOY.

A binding flash of lightning and
thunder sound never heard before so
deafening in Shoshone startled the
town Monday forenoon. Every house
holder thought his own building had
been demolished by the crash, for into
every building where electric wires are
strung there was the same lurid
flame carried.
AS a matter of fact the lightning
struck in two or three places only.
The centre of the force of the bolt was
near the residence of DR.. Horace G.
Baugh, where a big poplar tree was
riven from point about fifteen feet
from the ground. Nearby in the res
idence Of A. E. Vredenburgh lightning
entered. burned or knocked out the
glass front of the meter and jumped
to the bed which was set afire. Mrs.
Vredenburgh had just taken her rest
less child from the bed. The little fell
lows life was undoubtedly saved be-
cause for some unaccountable reason
he would not take his usual nap. The
bed was hauled out of doors and saved
from utter destruction.
Surcharged with electricity as was
the whole town the wires took up and
conveyed it everywhere the wires Went
causing sharp cracking sounds and
balls of light. In the Fred Gooding
home Immediately across the streetT
from the Baugh home lightning play
cd in fantastic jumps between the |
radiators, each jump being accom-
panied by a loud report.
Down at the Shoshone sub-station !
the wires bore in upon them of course |
all the gathered strange forces. An
appliance there is made and provided
for lust such an occurrence SO that q
switch was thrown automatically. But
for that fact it is presumed untold de-
struction would have been wrought in
the wires and connections throughout
the town. There were numerous fuses
blown out both on the lighting and
telephone wires, but nothing serious
was reported. George Sturgiss was
soon on his rounds mending the troub-
les and long before night everybody
had lights burning as usual
There was only light shower ac
the storm.

1t is not unlikely that the man was

THIS CANDIDATE
MAKES BIG HIT
READY TO HONOR FATHER FOR
EDUCATION AND SAYS NOBODY
BUT HIMSELF BROUGHT HIM
BEFORE VOTERS FOR JUDGE.

Edmund NJ Wolfe. Mountainhome
lawyer Of many years successful prac-
tice, was in Shoshoae on Tuesday in
the interest of his candidacy for judge
of the fourth district. For many years
Mr. Wolfe has regularly appeared at
the terms of our court and become
known here perhaps as well as at his
home bar for an old fashioned sort of
rugged honesty and integrity, being
we'll poised and level headed and with
al learned in the law. The voters
ought by all means to look into the
qualifications of their judges with
merciless search after the truth as to
their mental qualifications and moral
fitness. Certainly no good fellow"
should be passed with that character
istic alone as his winning card in the
contest. The Journal intends honestly
voters ought to know about their can
dfdates for this high and responsible
Office and what it ascertains will be
stated just as honestly as it knows
how. In this instance the announce
ment Of Mr.. Wolfe rings true and sin
cere when he says that his fathers
hard-earned mney paid for his school
ing and that nobody but himself is
responsible for his candidacy at this
time. Too many candidates are self
made and give no credit at all to
their parents
