Director HOLMES
MAKES REPORT
Many Accidents in Mines Caused
By Electrical Ap-
paratus.

In his annual report submitted to
the Secretary of the Interior DIT
Joseph A. Holmes reviews the inves.
LEGATIONS made by the Bureau OF
Mines TO safeguard the miners from
electrical accidents. Director Holm
es makes the declaration that not on
" have many men been killed or in
jured from what are believed to be
unnecessary electrical accidents. but
indirectly electrical apparatus has
been responsible for mine explosions
and mine fires that have extensively
destroyed both life and property.
He further says that, through the
activity of the bureau in calling at
tention to dangers heretofore unap-
preciated i'm the use of electrical ma
chinery, manufacturers have devised
safer types of apparatus and states
have enacted stricter laws governing
electrical installations.
Much attention has been paid to
the proper construction and use OF
electric and other safety lamps.
Tests have been made to ascertain the
compartive merits of different types
of safety lamps. including their use
fulness in furnishing light to miners,
their relative safety, and their value
in indicating the presence of eNplo-
sive gas. The welldefined principles
that govern the mechanical construc-
ton OF modern safety lamp have
been largely exploited in this coun-
try by European manufacturers and
During the present yearsome of these
patents have expired and in conse-
quence American lamp manufactur-
ers and lamp agencies have been in
spired TO develop new models. AL
ready an improved safety lamp of
American manufacture has appeared,
and samples of others have been re-
ceived by the bureau for examina-
tion and criticism. The bureau has
studied all types of safety lamps on
the market and as a result has pre-
pared a schedule of official tests to
be used in establishing a list of per-
Missile safety lamps for use in case
Gus mines.
At the beginning of the year the
bureaus reluirments for testing ex-
plosion proof motors had been pre-
pared and published. The work was
necessary because no successful ex-
plosion-proof motors had been de-
veloDed in the United States. Dur
ing the year only one motor was sub
mitted for test, but this machine
passed the tests successfully. 1t is
believed that the bureaus approval
will estimate other manufacturers
TO renewed activity in producing
such motors. .....

PULLED TEETH AT PRISON
Young Dentists Show Their Skill Mt
the Pen. at Boise.

While the state board of dental ex-
aminers were In session in Boise last
week the board with seventeen appli-
cants for permits to practice dentist
ry in the state went to the states pris-
on, where they worked all day on the
prisoners. More than thousand dol
lars worth of work was done on the
prisoners. Twice a year the dental
examiners pass upon applications for
admission to practice. The members
of the board which conducted the last
examination we're: Drs. Frank +. Nc
Atee. Of this city, president; r. j.
Cruise, w. E. Phelps and A. A. Jessup.
For the work done at the prison dur
ing the last two years both Governors
Haines and Alexander praised the
board very highly.
At the present session of the legis-
lature the board will ask for an APP
preparation Of a few hundred dollars
for the expenses of the work to be
done at the penitentiary. So far the
work has been self-sustaining, the
board has not asked the state for one
cent. Dr. McAtee stated that the board
has placed an order for some chairs
and other equipment, amounting to a
little over two hundred dollars. The
next legislature will be asked to take
over for the state this investment.

day, Young Lady Has Thrill.

Miss Gladys McCabe had thrilling
experience last Sunday while oht hunt
ing with party composed of her
brother, F. r. McCabe, Messrs, Tom
Fritcher, N. o. Thompson, Jess East
man, Glenn Fritcher and G. j. Kalina.
All members of the party except Mr..
and Miss McCabe had crossed, over to
the north side of the river and Miss
McCabe became separated from her
brother, and came upon two vicious old
sows, who resented the intrusion into
their chosen domain. They rushed at
her and she fled, but they pursued
her and all efforts on her part to stop
them by throwing rocks and clods had
no effect. The young lady was becom-
ing exhausted and one of the hogs
was within few feet of her, and as
she was armed with shotgun, she
took aim and fired bringing one of the
animals down. The struggles of the
wounded hog diverted the attention of
it's mate and Miss McCabe was en-
abled to escape.
Up until this time 1t has not been
learned who owned the hogs, and as
soon as he can be located Mr.. McCabe
will pay the price of the hog that was
killed-Buhl Pioneer.

STEER WEIGHS A TON
Hagerman Man Sells Big Beef Steer
for Good Sum.

Martin Curran brought in sixteen
two and three-year old Short Horn
fat steers from Hagerman valley this
week which were the finest bunch of
beef animals ever offered on the Good
ing market. They were purchased by
the Gem State Packing company. They
were strictly ranch products, never
having been off the farm, having been
raised on blue grass pasture in the
summer and alfalfa hay In the winter.
The lot average $75 each.
The prize animal Of the herd was
three-year old steer that weighed
just an even 1000 pounds after the
long drive from Hagerman without
feed or water, and brought $120. This
steer never has had pound of grain
and demonstrates the fact that the
Hagerman valley is the place to raise
cheap beef. A ton steer from blue
grass and alfalfa Is something to brag
about.
This steer will be on exhibition at
the Gem State Company's abattoir for
several days Hagerman Valley Sun

Commissioners Considering One
at Twin Falls
NEW PROPOSAL 4 SURPRISE FOR
CITIZENS HERE
County Commissioners Urged to Go
Slow in the Matter OF Bridge Build
ing.

Coming close upon the heels of the
action of the county commissioners
in letting bids for the construction OF
the Murtaugh bridge is the reported
attempt on the part of the gentlemen
to now place another bridge across
at Twin Falls to cost somewhat more
than the Murtaugh bridge which was
stopped temporarily by injun ction. The
bridge at Twin Falls like the one at
Murtaugh involved the descent and
ascent of grades after the bridge Is
placed. The action in the matter Is
taken upon a petition signed by very
few names.
The business men of Twin Falls, al
most without exception, were utterly
surprised at the question OF the Twin
Falls bridge coming up at this time,
having almost no intimation of the ser
ious discussion of the matter. In the
first place, the Twin Falls bridge Is
the least desirable of any bridges
along the Snake from the standpoint OF
use and accessibility. Dropping down
a grade for nearly three-Quarters OF
a mile, nothing but sand is found upon
which to construct the grade and ap-
proach to the bridge Going out on the
other side, the same problem confronts
them with a much sleeper grade. On
top of the north grade for miles there
is nothing of a road but deep and
drifting sand. For automobiles or for
teams with heavy loads, the road
either direction is useless without ex-
rensive hard surfacing. This In brief,
is the site of the bridge proposed by
the commissioners.
Commissioner Carlson, as represen-
tative Of this district, is urged to care
fully consider the matter before max
ing any further moves toward the
Twin Falls bridge. The people of this
city rightfully feel that before any
other thing is done that the grades to
the Shoshone falls be fixed to care
for the heavy tourist traffic which will
come this way this summer. The scenic
value of Shoshone falls over Twin
falls being so much larger asset, that
the question Of the Twin falls bridge
should rightfully come last
There is very strong indications that
an injunction restraining the commits
sioners will be asked against the Twin
falls bridge.

. Reduced ON Branch.

Commencing last Friday passenger
fares on the Twin Falls branch were
reduced to three cents per mile. When
this rate went into effect no more
round trip tickts for points on the
branch were sold. The reduction OIL
the fare will work to the advantage
of passengers buying one way tickets,
but will amount to about the same as
the round trip tickets did before the
order went into effect. The fare has
also been reduced on the st. Anthony
