WATER MEASURING DEVICE.
Gooding Young Man Is Inventor of
Useful Contriyance.

Clare Thomas, formerly of Gooding
but now located in Pocatello, has hit
upon a valuable invention for the
measurement of water in streams,
canals and bitches, according to the
Leader. Young Thomas has just been
awarded a patent on his device. The
Leader says:
"The meter registers the flow of a
stream or ditch and automatically in
dicates the exact flow in miners inch
es by a hand which points to the fig
ures on a dial. Mr. Thomas expects
to install one of the meters at Good
ing for demonstration.
"The model was passed upon by 26
different patent inspectors in the pat
ent office. 1t has eight working points
and the inventor received 100 per cent
on each point. The commissioner of
patents, Thomas Ewing, congratulat-
ed him on the fine showing, as it is
very unusual.
"The device can be manufactured
and sold at a price which will place it
within the reach of all water users"

JUDGE KNOX INJURED
BY FALL
Struck by Horse and Falls Over
Embankment-TwO Ribs
Torn Lose.

Douglass Knox, father of the Knox
boys and one of the pioneers of this
section, was severely injured Tuesday
morning by being knocked over the
grade near Johnson creek by horse
Two ribs were torn loose and very
painful bruises sustained.
Judge Knox was on his way to Blue
lake for an outing in a wagon driven
by his son Walter when the accident
occurred. While on the grade near
Johnson creek, this side of Montour,
the harness on one of the horses be-
came disarranged and Mr.. Knox got
out to fix it. While doing so, the
horse threw out a leg to brush off flies
and struck Mr.. Knox, knocking him
over the grade and he rolled some
distance. His descent was stopped
by boulder, which was the cause of
the dislocation of his ribs.
The injured man was taken to Mon
tour, placed on the noon train and
brought home. He is suffering con-
siderable pain from his injuries, but
no serious results are anticipated, and
his many Emmett friends hope for
his speedy recovery.

A SnIendid Entertainment

The presentation of the charming

pleased good sized audience Fri
day evening. The play was given by
the Presbyterian ladies under the di-
rection and staging of Miss Avery OF
Boise. The results she accomplished
with a lot of small girls and boys,
few of whom had ever appeared
in public in a similar capacity was
little less than wonderful. The acting
was natural, the lines were plainly
spoken. The folk dances given in
conjunction with the play and the
drill of the boy scouts under the lead
ership of Master George zackman
were skillfully and artistically rend-
cred and constituted a pleasing fea-
aure of the evenings entertainment.

Where Do Pocket Knives Go To?


Where do all the pocket knives &c
to? What becomes of them is as
great a mystery as what becomes OF
all the pins. Sometimes when long
shadows fall across the yard, when
the night birds are calling and the
baby across the way has squalled his
last squaIl until the next, we sit idly
musing, recalling one by one the
knives we have known and loved. The
first was a Barlow with one blade;
with it came gladness such as the
world can never know again. The sec
ond was an iron handled 81. X. L.
with a razor edge, and dignity was
added to joy. We swapped insight,
unseen with a next door neighbor,
were swindled outrageously, contract
ed the trading habit and ali sorts and
conditions followed. None fingered.
At 16 we acquired a 4-bladed Wos-
Trenholm that would split a hair; at
20 we owned a pearl handled boudoir
blade which we carried in buckskln
sack and used only for manicurlng
purposes, or to lend casually to girl
we pestered, and at 25, when soft
downy, reddish mustache appeared on
our upper lip, we were presented by
the late Adolphus Busch with beau
tiful knife encased in a burnt bone
handle, containing a corkscrew at
tachment with his picture hidden cum
ningly in one end and that of a
strange lady with mighty few clothes
on in the other The corkscrew was
a convenient part of the knife in those
DAYS, as Kansas was prohibition
state. At 40 we came to Emmett and
almost the first purchase we made
was a knife from D. A. Hawkins. 1t
was a three bladed, bone handled
knife, and was a good one. D. A. said
it was the same kind that the sheep
men always used, which is considered
a good enough recommendation for
any blade in this western country. We
carried that knife about two years,
when we broke the blade. D. A. gave
us a new one for it. AS the original
only cost US cents, we have never
been able to figure out that he made
a very large per cent profit, and prob
ably accounts for the fact that he
has not yet been able to buy limou-
sine. And so it goes with every man.
The seven ages of man, the ideals
and aspirations distinctive of each,
are marked by the pocket knives ne
owns. loves for a time and loses. At
so or more, mewling again, any old
sort of knife that will cut fish bait
or cap a bottle will do, but even they
won't stick.

Land Slide on Idaho Northern.

Idaho Northern traffic was delayed
from Saturday to Tuesday by land
slide near the Canyon canal dam, and
it was necessary to transfer all pas
sengers going to and coming from
the upper country, a distance of about
100 feet. The slide consists of loose,
shifting sand from a hill above the
tracks. The road had considerable
trouble there when it was first built.
A steam shovel and crew had the ob-
struction removed by Tuesday.
