GOOD|NG MAKES
ROUSING SPEECH
PAYS HIS RESPECTS TO BIG PRO-
TECTED BUSINESS AND OUT
LINES HIS PLATFORM.

TWIN FALLS, May Former Gov
ernor Frank r. Gooding addressed a
large crowd last Friday evening in the
city at the Cotillion hall in the interest
of his candidacy for United States
Senator. Enthusiastic applause greet
ed some of his utterances regarding
western interest and industries. When
introduced Governor Gooding went
straight to the point and stated that
much of his attention would be given
to the tariff. In a long but interesting
address he showed where the present
exemptions of the farm products from
the tariff were direct slaps at the
farmers and that still protection was
given TO the trusts which needed
none.
In a part of his speech Mr.. GoOding
gave a brief synopsis of his platform
on which he would go before the vot-
ers asking for the nomination for
United States Senator. First of all he
wanted the west given opportunity to
develop her resources without him
drance by government red tape. Next
that national prohibition and suffrage
would receive his support He be-
lieved thoroughly in a system Of ru-
raj credits

NEGRO HOTEL RUNNER
BEATEN BY EX- MARSHAL

George Redmon, ex-marshal of Sho-
shone, and a negro hotel runner, We're
engaged in an encounter on the depot
platform Tuesday night, in which the
negro received a severe beating. Red
mon had taken the negro to task for
some past offense and the two grap-
pied. Redmon landing a right swing
on the jaw and then raining blow after
blow to the head which is very much
the wrong place to hit negro with
bare knuckles. This the ex-marshal
was not slow in proving when he final
ly pounded his black adversary over
the skull with the heavy end Of a
revolver The blows were heavy
enough to break boiler plate, it seemed,
but it took lots Of them and choking
besides tc put the negro out Of bus
mess.
Inquiry after the row developed the
fact that Redmon was resenting an
insult offered by the negro to a lady
who had been the guest at one of the
local hotels where the negro is a SER
want.
Nothing came of the encounter be-
fore court or jury.

San Francisco Chronicle.

1t may easily happen that all efforts
to preserve peace will prove unvail-
ing. for it is certain that in the present
temper of Congress any serious OUT
rage against Americans would be the
signal for active operations against the
Mexicaus, which would speedily lose
sight Of any real or assumed original
purpose and be concentrated on the ac-
complishment Of one object
But these possibilities DO not mini
mize the Importance OF the acceptance
by the United States of the mediation
proposition. That in itself is a guaran-
tee to the great South American re-
publics that, despite appearances pro-
ducdd by plundering administrative
acts. our government is desirous Of
maintaining ueace. and is not, as
many Latin Americans believe, anx-
ious to acquire more territory. 1t will
also assure the Latin American ma
tions that the United States is not
aiming at a hegemony, but instead is
ready to adopt a course likely to bring
about the understanding urged by
Blaine many years ago; which, when
accepted, will deprive the Monroe
doctrine of its nebulous character and
give to the relations of the republics
of the western hemisphere form
which the rest of the world will rec
ognize and respect.
1t would have been better had this
been reached in anoth-
er manner than through friction with
a neighboring republic. But great |
thoughts crystalize slowly in the pub |
lie mind. Before they can do so the |
mists Of ignorance, credulity and pre-
judice must be dissipated, and their
dispersal sometimes can be accom-
olished only by a resort to the vio-
ence and destructiveness they seek
% avert.

TOWN MARSHAL
APPOINTED UNANIMOUSLY TO
TAKE PLACE OF GEORGE RED
MON AS PEACE OFFICER.

Jim May has been unanimously ap-
pointed marshal of Shoshone. to take
the place vacated by George Redmon.
May went on duty Tuesday night, be-
ing shown the duties of his Office by
the retiring marshal
Marshal May is a brother Of Percy
May, the janitor of the courthouse, and
was not considered Il candidate but
he had strong recommendations. He
served a term of twelve years in the
English army and is a strict disclipin-
arian. There has been some criticism
Of the appointment because Of the fact
that the new officer is not an Ameri-
can citizen. so it said. Members OF the
board Of trustees say they never save
that matter any consideration when
they were assured of the good SER
vice their appoirtee would give in the
Office.
The trustees are determined to have
enforcement Of the ordinances, espec-
tally those for the regulation Of the
speed limit of automobiles and = the
criminal and gambling classes.

DISNEY CHILD IS
CALLED BY DEATH
PASSED AWAY IN BOISE SUNDAY
AND BURIED THERE TUESDAY,
SAD AFFLicTlON FOR FOND
PARENTS.

The spirit of little Dorothy Disney
took its flight on Sunday last. To the
very end her mind remained clear even
when bodily weakness had paralyzed
every limb. She knew and could see
and hear with faculties unimpaired. 1t
may be that the little sufferer was
permitted to look where we may not
into the great beyond and that she felt
on wasted brow the breath Of the
eternal morning.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank T. Disney the
bereaved parents, have the heartfelt
sympathy of everybody who knew and
loved little Dorothy. She was an only
child, eight years OF age. In school and
among her fellows and in the afflicted
home she was joy of the heart.
Two months ago the child became
singularly afflicted. 1t was determined
at once that Mrs. Disney would jour-
ney with her to the seacoast for the
childs relief. In the sudden illness the
child could be taken no further than
Boise. where for time there was hope
full improvement, then a decline and
the sad end. 1t was heart disease.
It was determined that the burial
should take place at Boise, to which
CITY were sent StOIGS VI AAlIsooctsto ~
the parents as soon as their bereave-
ment became known in their home in
Shoshone. Great masses of flowers
were forwarded there too. The funeral
took place from st. MichaeIs Church
on Tuesday.
All arrangements We're in charge of
the Masonic fraternity. under the gen
eral direction Of Grand Master Curtis
T. Pike. There were numerous mem
bers of that body present and also
members of the Eastern Star the
floral offerings of the two bodies be-
ing most beautiful.
Mr.. and Mrs Fred w. Gooding,
Judge Edward A. Walters, who is sit
ting on the bench of the Supreme
Court, Victor O. Johnson, Mr.. and
Mrs. John H. Helman, Miss Mary
Guymon and Miss Griffith attended
the funeral services.

BUYING DAIRY COWS
BY CARLOAD LOTS
FINE STOCK PURCHASED FOR
DIETRICH TRACT BY KILKER
AND ANDREWS.

Sam Kilker and Peter Andrews Of
Dietrich returned from Cache Valley,
Utah, on Wednesday with a carload of
dairy cattle. They say they saw there
the most highly developed dairy coun-
try in all the Northwest. Every farm
er has stock that he is proud of and
is the distinct feature of all the val
ley The advantage of buying there for
this locality fszthat the stock is al
ready acclimated, Cache velley being
of about the same altitude and north
and south location. EVERYTHING
RUNS TO HOLSTEINS.
The visitors found that no less than
6S carloads of dairy stock had been
forwarded to this part of Idaho from
Cache valley since the first of the
year.
We have here a better dairy cOun-
try. All we need is the best dairy
stock.

BIDS TO BE ASKED on JANIToR-
SHIPS AND ALL MANNER OF

NEXT YEAR.

The newly organized board Of trus-
tees for Shoshone are to meet to-
nirht at the high school building to
give further consideration to matters
properly coming before the body with
s. Price Newman, chairman and J. \.
Keefer. clerk. Members Of the board
state their intention of letting con-
tracts for all supplies only after COM
petitive bids. This principle is to ap-
ply also in the matter of the appoint
ment of janitors for the schools, which
it has been found works we'll as to the
janitor of the courthouse.
The board desires the good will and
cooperation of all patrons to pro-
mote the best results in the work of
the schools and to this end invites
all helpful suggestions. Already there

WATER PLANT AS
MANAGED By TOWN
GOOD SHOWING FOR FIRST
MONTHS OPERATlON-GROSS
REVENUES $713.39; EXPENSE
$189.25.

The municipal ownership of the
Water Works system has proved sue
cessful for the first month, and there
is no reason why it should not con-
tinue to be just as successful
At the regular meeting of the Vii
lage Board Monday night, the Super
intendent's reports showed that the
total revenue for the month of April
was s7I3SS, and the total cost of oper-
alton was S1SS.25. These figures
show that the plant can be operated
for less than 40 per cent of the reven-
ue. OF course the operation for some
months may exceed the cost for the
month of April as the plant was in
an exceedingly good shape when turn
ed over to municipal ownership, but
there is no reason why the cost of
operation for the entire year should
exceed 40 per cent Of the revenue for
the entire year.
The work on the alteration plant is
progressing as rapidly as could be ex-
pected. The valves and the pipe nee
essary to connect the filter with the
pump and settling basin could not
be purchased in Salt Lake and it was
rJecessary for these fittings to be
shipped from Chicago, and they
should be here sometime within the
next week.
In the meantime the filter viii be in
shape so that when the material is
on the ground, the liberation plant
will be completed in a very short
time, and we will have filtered water
not later than June 1st and probably
a week earlier than that date.

RULING IS MADE
FACILITATES PAYMENT WHERE
PRESENTED At SOME OTHER
OFFICE THAN THAT UPON
WHICH DRAWN.

The first day Of the present month
saw put into effect new ruling rela-
tive to the postal money order business
which relieves a situation trying to
many who have found it inconvenient
TO present money orders at the Office
upon which they were drawn. The
new order provides that money orders
viii be cashed at any postoftiee pro-
vided they are presented within 80
days after the time at which they We're

will not be paid except at the office
upon which they are drawn, the old

TOWN MEETING CALLED
TO CONSIDER TWO FEES.

The trustees of the Richfield school
finally paid James r. Boutwell, the
attorneys fee of $500 in the matter
of settling the court case growing out
of the slicing up of school territory
apportioned among the districts of
Richfield, Jerome and Shoshone. A
similar case was pending over the
fees in he Jerome case, where $4,000
was the amount charged by Attorney
Henry Hail. In both Instances town
meetings were held to consider the
charges. Boutwell, presented letters
from lawyers showing that his fee
was a proper one.
Of the Jerome case the Times says:
The mass meeting of the patrons Of
the Jerome school district called by
the school board for last Saturday
afternoon to consider rthe bill for
legal services rendered by H n
Hall, was not as largely attended as
the board had hoped. The matter
was discussed pro and con by those
present. and the general sentiment
seemed to be adverse to paying the
bill as presented, and as an index Of
the sentiment of those pre)hnt. a
ballot was taken, 26 votes being cast
against paying the bill and 4 in favor
Of it. The school board will meet in
regular session next Monday even
ing when a report Of the committee
appointed to investigate the charges
will probably be made, and the board
will then be in position to act on
he measure.

POISONED DOGS THROWN
INTO RIVER AT BELLEVUE.

There is work for the sanitary Off
GERS to look after up at Bellevue, ae-
cording to the news report that comes
from the HALEY Times, which says:
The dogs which We're poisoned in
Bellevue last winter were hauled to
the Broadford bridge and dumped
there.
They are now, therefore, rotting in
the sun with the result that the stencil
from the carcasses is horrible and a
great menace to the health not only of
the people Of Bellevue but of Wood
River.
The matter should be looked after
without delay by the authorities.

The practicability or impracticability
Of the plan depends Of course upon
considerations at the present writing
unknown upon the attitude of Gen.
Huerta, and indirectly. but in very
important degree upe7 the behavior
of the constitutionaliats But when any
way opens out of an apparent impasse
it would be a crime against civiliza-
ton not toweigh its possibilities.
The fact that President Wilson and
Secretary Bryan. by entertaining the
proposal, are compelled to modify their
pervious theories on Huerta's status
and substantially to recognize him,
whatever they may say about it, is OF
no great consequence except as regards
their personal pride of opinion. 1t is
the penalty to be paid for initial mis-
takes likewise personal. The country
can stand it. if they can, for the sake OF
honora bic peace.

NATURAL WONDER
IS ObL|TERATED
THOUSAND SPRINGS HARNESSED
FOR GREAT POWER PLANT
AND HAS BEEN WIPED OUT OF
EXISTENCE.

One Of the wonders Of the world,
so far as this part Of the world is con-
cerned, has disappeared with the utili-
zation of the Thousand Springs for
power purposes. Work on the com
pletion of the plant there has lust
been finished, to take in the celebrated
Snow Bank falls. for two years all that
was left of the innumerable streams
that used to gush from the walls of
the canyon. Nobody knows how
many springs there were-certainly
there were uncountabIe numbers Of
them
To harness up the Snow Bank was
difficult feat Of engineering. It took
the best skill and all the winter to ac-
complish it. Francis Letchfeld,
youngster from Salt Lake, was the
head Of the undertaking. Now the
water is all conserved and carried into
The llulne. with nothing lost except
that which cannot be turned into
power because there is more water
than is wanted. The current is all
sold to the Great Shoshone company.
1t was intended to harness up the
cid Niagara Springs in the same way
but fear Of interference by the Utili-
ties Commission is said to have stop
ped this development.
BY some freak in nature in the period
OF long-ago. when the Snake river
watershed was in the throes of vol
canic eruption. innumerable rivers
leading thereto were diverted under
ground into the buckles and crevices
formed by the cooling Of the lava. The
Thousand Springs are a part Of this
subterranean river system.
