PAYETTE COUNTY PROPOSED
Canyon County in for Lively County
Division Scrap.

In view of the announced attempt
to divide up Canyon county, Gem
county residents may well congratu-
late themselves that they have cut
loose from this biennial disturbance
and annoyance.
Several division fights will come be-
fore the next legislature. The one of
interest to Gem county people is that
to cut two more counties out of Can
yon Payette's ambition is not dead,
and the wires are being laid to have
the lower end of this valley cut off
and Payette county created with Pay
ette as the county seat.
Another division of Canyon is pro-
posed, taking a slice of Canyon and
slice of Owyhee to form another
county, with Homedale as the seat of
government. Still another originates
in Nampa, which seeks to include
parts of Ada, Canyon and Owyhee in
a new county. If all these schemes
are successful, old Canyon will look
like a nickel's worth of soap after
hard days wash
A county to be known as Lake coun-
ty aspires to be created out of Koot-
enai and Bonner counties. Blaine
county practically comedies the pro
posal that another county be created
out of its territory. Idaho county
may again come before the legislature,
seeking to be divided and Twin Falls
has an annexation plan in the hatch
ing. Backing the Lake county divi-
sion plan is a well organized effort
and all members-elect to the iegisla-
ture have been sounded out.

up our tents, but yesterday all work

counting on it too much, for some

our tents, but they had to give US

was accidentally shot in the head a
few months ago while herding sheep
for Andy Little, died Tuesday. 1t

in the sagebrush with hole in his
skull The gun had exploded. Several
weeks after the accident a good
sized piece of the gun barrel was
found inside his skull He seemed to
improve and as he was able to walk
about town it was thought he was on
the road to recovery. About two
weeks ago, however, his mind became
affected and disease of the brain set
in, which caused his death. Before
coming here he had lost a leg. He
was native of England. The funeral

A House That's Different

T. B. Hargus's new residence at the
corner of First and Johns streets,
which is nearing completion, is at

basement, in which is located the heat
ing plant and cellar. The first story
is of cement blocks and the second
story is frame. One of the fine fea-
tures of the house is the abundance of
light. This is supplied by generous

CONTRACT LET FOR
B.-P. LOG POND
John Monarch of Boise Gets Job
Pond Will Cover Thirty
~ Acres.

The contract for the log-impound-
ing pond of the Boise-Payette Lum-
Der company was this week given to
John Monarch, a prominent grading
contractor of Boise. The contract is
a big one and will run right around
$4,000, and will require about two

pound approximately 35 million feet
of logs. Two steam shovels will be
employed and work will continue night
and day. The dirt will be used to
make the dikes and also to fill in the
low places in the ground surrounding
the mill buildings.
This pond will be supplemented by
the south channel of the river from
the headgate of the pond to the wa
gon bridge, which will impound ap-
proximately 80 million feet thus CIV
ing total capacity of 65 million feet.
Logs will be brought from the tim
Der in trains of about 25 cars and
upon arrival here will be run upon
switch track that is to be built
along the south edge of the pond and
dumped into the pond. The logging
cars are built especially for this
work, being equipped with a dumping
device that will unload car in two

HOW DREAMS
COME TRUE
Realistic Experiences of Two Young
Men Who Dreamed Dreams.

The first one was woven in the
brain of "Carmie," the young man
who drives the auto stage between
Emmett and Boise. He was driving
the stage down Freezeout hill. When
he attempted to apply the brake he
found his feet so entangled in the lap
robe that he could not extricate them.
Faster and faster the big car went
down the hill. The first turn was
made safely, then the second. Gust
one more turn" dreamed Carmie, "and
the danger will be over" But the
speed of the car was too rapid to make
the last turn and over it went. When
it struck the bottom of the gulch Car
mie awoke. Around his feet were
tightly twisted the bed clothes, and
his two hands were tightly grasping
the two bedposts at the foot of the bed
The Emmett index. [volume] (Emmett, Idaho) 1893-1925, 1916-11-30

The other dream was the experience
of Cartee Wood. Previously, his
sleep had been broken frequently by
the baby, who was suffering from
collie, and it was after midnight before
rest came. Then he dreamed that his
brother, 2 years his junior, was in
bed with him and troubled with the
same pains as had earlier in the even
ing affected his own child. The moan
ing and crying of his brother finally
got on Cartee's nerves and GROSSLY ne
demanded that the young fellow keep
still, but to no avail. Finally, patience
exhausted, he threatened to slap the
young man if he didn't hush. But
even that didn't quiet the suffering
one, and then-biffl bangi Cartee
awoke with start; also badly skinned
knuckles. He had swung at the win
dow casing and hit it in the solar
plexus.
