ADDITION TO WARS HORRORS
American Claims to Have Invented a
She'll Capable Of Scattering
Molten Steel.

A new type of projectie which
would scatter a white-hot mixture of
molten steel over the object of attack
and at the same time permeate the at
mosphere with a deadly gas, which
would make II impossible for fire
fighters to approach. has been invent
ed by John Hays Hammond. Jr, &C.
cording to statement made by him.
This new missile. he says, may soon
appear in the European war.
The missile is designed for use in
siege guns, as an aid in destroying
towns and dirigible balloons. Mr..
Hammond explained that the projec-
tile carried an aluminothermic mix
ture which. five seconds after the pro-
jectile was discharged, would turn the
steel inside 10 a white-hot mixture at
a temperate of 5,400 degrees Fahren-
heit When the projectile hits the tar
get. the inventor said, it explodes. its
white-hot contents setting fire to what
ever inflammable material it strikes.
To avoid the possibility of quenching
the flames. Mr. Hammond said he had
equipped the projectile with a chamber
filled with hydrocyanic acid. the fumes
of which are deadly.
The inventor is son of the IA
nous engineer, John Hays Hammond.
He invented wireless control of sub
marine torpedoes.

INTRODUCE A NOVEL SPORT

A cane. a piece Of thread and a
bent pin, together with bread crumbs

indoor sport introduced at an exclu-
sive Pasadena hotel by two fun-loving
society girls. The goldfish in the
fountain which graces the big lobby of
the hotel form the prey, although to
date there have been no serious cas-
ualties among the finny beauties.
To sit comfortably in a big Morris
chair in the lobby of a palatial hotel
and at the same time enjoy all the
delights dear to the followers of Izaak
Walton is quite a novelty. declare the
girls, who make great sport of lur-
ing the fish to near-capture.
Goldfish are fun to angle for" says
Miss Marion Landers. who, with Miss
Edna Walsh, introduced the odd sport.
We don't care to eat them. though,
so any we catch we put back. It's

nent eastern guests. who were inter-
ested spectators of the novel fishing.

car. propulsion being by means Of
skids. which are alternately lowered
and raised. In the early days of loco
motive history many inventors did not
believe that sufficient adhesion was
to be attained by smooth wheel
operating on smooth rail. and weird
and wonderful were the devices for
overcoming this supposed defect. One
ingenious engineer went so far as to
design a continuance in which jointed
metal bars worked up and down on

affinity between this device and the
motor car referred to above.

REMARKABLE RECORD
OF WALNUT TREES
Two-year-Old English Walnut
Trees Produce Crop on
LittOOy Farm

The two-year-old English walnut
grove of j. F. Littooy on the east
slope, comprising 10 acres, bore crop
this year-an unheard of occurrence
in the history of that variety of nut
trees, according to Mr.. Lettooy.
Mr.. Littooy came over from Boise
Friday to be shown, for he was
skeptical when Charlie Hartley, who
has had charge of the tract the past
season, informed him that the trees
had borne a crop of nuts, of unusually
large size, and that he had picked
them. The land was formerly part
of the A. NJ. Schrecongrost ranch,
and joins C. L. Gamage's fruit farm
on the west. The trees, yearling
stock, were planted two years ago.
They are the Franquette and Mayette
varieties and cost $500 apiece. In
California and Oregon, English wal
nut trees do not bear in less than six
years, and often not until eight or
ten years.
Several years ago, when the Horti-
cultural association met here and af-
ter a banquet served to the visitors
at the c. P. Hartley home, Mr.. Lit
tooy responded to a toast, in which |
he made the statement that he was
convinced that the Slope lands were
admirably adapted to nut raising, and
strongly urged orchardists to plant |
nut trees. The success of several al |
mond groves and the early bearing
of English walnut trees, has verified
his prediction.

PROTEST THE DRAINAGE
ASSESSMENT
Gem and Canyon Counties and
Ditch Companies Are Prin-
cipal Directors

Protests against the confirmation
of the assessments filed with the dis
trict court upon Gem county and the
Farmers Cooperative and Noble
Irrigation companies in Drainage
district No. l, in the Letha and FaIk
neighborhood, have been filed. The
protests will be heard at an early
date by Judge Bryan.
The commissioners are W. ".
Nusbaum, Frank Pickett and Cal
Burt. They were appointed b. Judge
Bryan.
In the report of the commissioners
assessments against Gem County,
Canyon county and four irrigation
districts are proposed, Gem county is
asked to pay S5467.26 for draining
county roads" Canyon county's as
sessment for the same purpose is
fixed at s2532.74. Through its
county attorney, ]. P. Reed, Gem
county enters protest. The claim is
that the county does not own the
roadways in question and that they
are not subject TO assessment. So far
as known no protest is to be made by
Canyon county.
By far the heaviest assessment is
that proposed against the Farmers
Cooperative canal, the amount being
$4,000. This is asked for "being
relieved from responsibility for dam
age done to low land from seepage
and saturation by irrigation water
from canal and the necessity for car
rying off waste water" Protest
against the assessment is made. 1t
is based on allegations that the re-
port fails to show that the canal
company is the owner of lands in
the proposed district; that as it is
merely a cooperative organization
among ranchers the collection of this
assessment would constitute double
assessment, and that it would mean
that many land owners living miles
away from the district would be COM
PEELED to help pay for the drainage
work.
Protest is also entered by the No
BILE Ditch company, against which the
proposed assessment is $4,000. This
company claims exemption on much
the same grounds advanced by the .
Farmers Cooperative canal owners
In addition to these protests others
have been filed by about a dozen
land owners included in the proposed
drainage system.
