ONE DOG THAT IS
EVERYbODYS DOG
! so GINGER HAS TAX PAID AND
I WEARS SPLENDID NEW COL
/ LAR AT EXPENSE OF HIS
FRIENDS.

Everybody's dog in Shoshone is the
big bull dog Ginger He took up his
habitation here nine years ago at
the time the surveyors were laying out
Richfield. Ginger belonged to one of
the engineers in charge of the work
and like a good many people the dog
came to ShOshone as a desirable place
for a permanent residence.
The friends of Ginger feared for
his safety when the tax -gatherer
came around the other day. so
straightway they Clipped in and paid
the stipend required for every dog
that is not soon to be a dead dog in
this town. There was enough left in
the generous contribution not only to
buy Ginger a fine collar on which he
wears his number but six bits besides
was carried to his credit in the bank
to be applied for next years license.
While Ginger has his old friends
and cronies among the men about
town, who keep him slick and fat. he
will leave any of them any time for a
romp with children and that is what
makes him such a favorite.

FINE WELL FOR
AVERELL SCHOOL
GASOLINE ENGINE FOR PUMPING
TWO OTHER DEEP BORiNGS
INTO LAVA.

Three deep wells have been sunk
within the last few months at Aver
ell, the first at the splendid new
school building. one on the Morrison
ranch and the other on the Albers
ranch. Roessler Brothers have had
the work in charge at all the wells,
that at the Morrison ranch not be-
ing quite finished The school well
is 242 feet through the lava and the
others somewhat deeper. This is fix
ed up with a tank ample not only for
the uses of the school but for the
whole countryside. a gasoline en-
gine does the pumping. A. e. Carne-
gle, the clerk to the school board,
who was in Shoshone Monday, stated
that the well and equipment for
pumping the water cost about $4,000,
but he thinks the board made a
mighty good investment at that. The
water is good and unfailing.
Considerable difficulty was encount-
cred in drilling two of the wells. In
one, after it was bored very nearly
to water the expensive tools got
stuck and another well had to be bor-
ed. In another of the borings a
sledge hammer accidentally fell in
and the hammer itself had to be
ground to atoms and taken out. Ex-
cept for occasional crevaces the lava
encountered was as hard as the hard
est kind of lava ever gets-over two
hundred and fifty feet of it in each
boring From the top of the ground
to the lava an iron casing is used, bTt
through the lava itself no casing is
found necessary.

FOR PURE WATER
IN THREE WEEKS
FILTER ORDERED AND EXPECT
ED TO ARRIVE ANY DAY
MODERN PLANT 1T IS TO Be
COME.

The installation Of the filter for the
Shoshone water works is to take
place within the next two or three
weeks. The filter proper, which is
cylindrical affair something like a To-
eemotive boiler twenty eight feet
long, is expected to arrive any day.
There are other appliances to be or
dered after the filter arrives but these
may be had, it is presumed, in Salt
Lake and there should be no delay be-
yond the time stated in setting up
the plant and putting into operation
for the purification of Shoshones
drinking water.
Superintendent Miller states that he
expects to have pure water running
through the pipes within three
weeks. In all respects the plant is to
be first class and calculated to Sc
cure good water for years to come
core good water for years to come
and to be one Of the best assets of the
town.

ECHO COMES FROM
COUNTY DIVISION
OBJECTION is MADE TO APP
PRAISMENT AND SETTLEMENT
BETWEEN OLD AND NEW
COUNTIES.

When Minidoka County was created
a board of appraisers consisting of W.
R. Kartzke for Lincoln County, Guy
Bissell for Gooding and E. R. Dam
pier for Minidoka, was appointed by
the Governor, and according to the
act their actions concerning the set
tlement between the counties. was
final The feature of the matter is
very strenuously objected to by the
Emerson school district and at a
mass meeting held last Saturday the
voters of that district voted unani-
mously instructing their school board,
which is composed of w A. Drew,
Geo. Schodde and Mrs VIM. Keifer, to
bring The matter before the courts, in
order that the validity of the act may
be tested. To this end the board has
employed James r. Boutwell, of Sho-
shone as its attorney and will probab-
ly employ another attorney also.
From the figures given to the Pio-
neer-Record it appears that the
school property of the district was
appraised at $4,000, when the con-
tract on the new building was let
for SS,342. In the above appraisment
the old building was put in at $500, in
face of the fact that the board had
tried to sell it two years previous for
$500 and there were no takers. In the
division four-fifths of the Emerson
district was taken away and given to
Lincoln county, thus leaving one fifth
of the taxable property to pay the in
debtedness of the whole, and it is
such features of the division that the
people object to.
Just when the matter will get into
court is not known, but the papers in
the case are being prepared and if the
sentiment of the people as expressed
at the mass meeting is carried out it
will be fought through to the supreme
court if necessary.

Drink stole way his reason and final
ly claimed the last toll which it claims
from all the victims. Instead of an
honored exfstance surrounded by his
friends, the lot of an outcast and
death among unsympathetic strangers
was his merely for the temporary
pleasure of the flowing bowl. Not
one thinking man in a thousand can
claim that the few moments of insen-
safe pleasure can ever repay the loss
of self-respect, home ties and the
friendship and esteem of associates.
