BOY DROWNED IN DITCH
John HOgg, Aged II Months Falls Into
Stream ut Buhl.

Little John Hogg, the seventeen
months old son OF Mr. and Mrs. John
Hogg, was drowned Tuesday morning
as a result of falling into swift run
ming lateral while playing near the
home of his parents two miles south
and one mile west of Buhl.
The parents and oldest brother of
the child were in the field near the
house, and little Johnnie, with two
other brothers, aged about three and
five years, respectively, were at the
house. The three year old brother ran
out and told his parents that Johnnie
had fallen into the stream. They came
at once, but before they found him he
was dead. He had floated down
stream considerable distance and
was not discovered for some time
The funeral was held at the Presby-
terian church, Wednesday afternoon
at 2 o'clock, and was conducted by
the pastor, Reverend M. NJ Van Pat
ten. Interment was in Buhl ceme-
tery.-Buhl Pioneer

GREATEST IN HISTORY
Wheat Crop Golden Wonder In Gem
State.

w. A. Whitney, general superin-
tendent of the Oregon Short Line with
headquarters at Pocatello, arrived in
Salt Lake yesterday to discuss Operat-
Ing matters with the Salt Lake Of
ficfals of the Oregon Short Line, says
the neutrality-suspicious. The crops
from Idaho will soon begin moving
and, as the wheat crop in the Ameri-
can Falls district and the bench lines
on the Upper Snake valley loop are
greater than any time in the history
OF that part Of the state 1t is expected
that more cars and more motive pow
er will be required to move tn crops
asst and west than last year. The op-
Grating and the traffic officials of
the Union Pacific system are taking
steps at this time to prevent a car
shortage during the heavy shipping
season in the fall of the year.
Railroad officials estimate that at
least 6O,000,OO0 pounds of wheat will
be produced this season in the Ameri-
can Falls district. The potato crop
in the Idaho Falls country promises
to be large one and the wheat ship
ments from the Palouse country
promise to exceed those of last var.
THE railroads will carry the
greater part of this wheat to Pacific
coast points for transshipment
through the Panama canal" said Mr..
Whitney. formerly the railroads
got the long haul on wheat but since
the canal has been opened we have to
compete with water shipments and
as the wheat can he hauled cheaper by
water than by rail of course the rail-
roads lose this revenue"

EMERY VICTIM OF ILL.
FATED SWIMMING PARTY
Attempts ut Rescue Fail. Body of
Emery Brought to Surface by Mead
Bills, Of Hansen.

Russell Emery, young man from
Hartman, Oregon, lost his life while
swimming in the back water of the
canal Sunday afternoon, sinking for
the last time while his companions
were attempting his rescue. The swim
ming party, made up of young men of
Hansen, were utilizing rather deep

Emery with the rest had been in the
water for some time, when the fatal
accident took place. Young Emery,
sinking for the second time, CALI

could reach him sank the third time.
Mead Bills, one of the young men
In the party, dived several times be-
fore the body was found and brought
to the surface. Artificial respiration
was resorted to in an attempt to res
tore animation without results.
Mr.. Emery was twenty-six years of
age and had for some time past been
residing on a homestead near Mil

ter, together with the parents of the
deceased reside at Hartman, but were
absent at the time of the accident

ARM INJURED IN HAY BALtR
Z. A. Wallace Of Jerome, Has Arm
Badly Mangled.

r. A. Wallace, residing southwest
of Jerome, was very severely injured
last Friday morning at the Foster
farm some ten miles southeast of
town, by having his left arm caught
In the gears of steam hay baler.
Mr.. Wallace was started on the
road to town with all speed and a
man on saddle horse rode ahead and
telephone for doctor from the
Towle ranch, the nearest phone. DR..
E. D. Piper responded promptly, as his
car was standing in front of his Office
when the message was received and he
drove out and met the party bringing
in the injured man.
1t was found that Mr.. Wallace's
left arm was badly mangled from the
wrist to above the elbow, the biceps
being cut across as we'll as numerous
other cuts across the arm, severing
the veins. Drs. Piper and Henning
performed the surgery necessary to
close these wounds and so far the
patient is making satisfactory pro-
gress toward recovery. The remark
able thing about the accident is that
no bones were broken or joints dis
located
The baler was not running but the
engine was, the connection between
the two being out of gear. Mr..
Wallace took advantage of the Occa-
sion to reach in through the gears to
oil parts of the machinery when the
connection between the engine and
baler slipped in gear from some cause,
turning the wheels and catching his
arm before he could extricate it. He
will be laid up for some time, but ap-
parently will suffer no permanent in
jury.-Jerome News

WILL IMPROVE TOWNSHIP
X. Z. Shepherd Proposes to Reduce
Salmon Tract Acreage.

| The well which the townsite com
pany has sunk two blocks south of
Main street, has an inexhaustible
supply of at least 400 gallons an hour.
and probably much more. A bailer
was at work during the past week
drawing off that quantity of water,
without diminishing the stand at all.
Water was struck at depth of 632
feet, and at once rose 65 feet. The
water was obtained at the bottom of a
forty foot stratum of sandstone, as
surfing quality of water of unusual
purity, it is thought.
Within the next few days motor
pump will be installed and thorough
test made of its capacity, and staying
qualities No attempt will be made to
sink the well deeper for fear Of los
ing the available water in a crevice.
Rather, If the flow is insufficient, an
other well will be sunk elsewhere.
Mr.. r. f. Shepherd. of Jerome, who
gives us this information, advises
that tower reservoir tank will be
installed and connected with the wa
ter works system, there ending once
and for all time the uncertainty as to
the source of the towns domestic wa
ter. The main will be disconnected
at the east boundary of town. This
improvement will mean fire protec-
ton for Hollister and consequently
reduced insurance rates.
Another much needed advancement
Is the reduction in the area Of the
townsite, which at present covers a
square mile, This will be cut down
to reasonable size, and the bal
ance of it put under cultivation, This
will make possible the raising of
trees all about the townsite, as the
rabbit pest will be practically elm
mated when the outlying portions of
the townsite are being farmed.
The company proposes to do every
thing in its power to make the town
desirable one in which to live, and
will cooperate in every possible way
with it's residents. Mr.. Shepherd says
that il it is too difficult to get wa
ter on the present park, he will have
the site exchanged for another, as
he wants to see a park started at
once. Arrangements will be made to
have an abundance of trees set out,
and the same progressive steps that
Mr.. Shepherd is responsible for in
Jerome, are to be undertaken here
Last, but not least, the sale price of
town property is being reduced from
twenty-five to fifty per cent--Hol-
lister Herald.
