No Living ThHzg Left After Furious Bombardment by English Guns. Every Yard Blasted
 INTENSITY EXCEEDS
 ANYTHING IN WAR Even Own Men Appalled, by Greatest Rain of Fire Ever Seen on Front. Woods Hewn Clean

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN THE FIELD. July 27, , p. m. via Lon dcn, July 2S.-The British went after Delville wood again today and took it.
 The Germans had been quiet be- cause the British made no infantry at tack but all the while the machine guns had been rattlihe and the artii- lery had kept Up a thundreous drum beat in what before this offensive would have been referred to as vio- lent artillery duel So commonplace has the continual bombardment be- come that one officer whose post of duty is with the transport just out of the range of the shells, complains that he is awakened when there is a Hull at night.
 Heaviest Firing Ever
 This morning the British put on Delville wood the heaviest concentra- tion of shell fire in a given area ever directed against field Notifications. Even the gunners were amazed when they computed it's volume perminute in preparing the way for the infantry. Counting the front a thousand yards. there must have been three shells minute falling on every yard.
 The purpose was to leave nothing tanding-nothing living. Not a sin gle German sniper in a tree, not single German machine gun but was to be put out of business by the tor nado of blasts. Delville wood has left Trones wood with tame reputation. The infantry of both sides there have no dug-outs. Their only protection is shallow trenches. such as are dug in open field operations. A shell which tears hole among the roots of a tree kills 50 men, makes some protection for his observations. Snipers and machine guns watch for any head that shows itself. Patrols which go out in the night engage in hand to hand encounters. The flash of bursting

A FLOWING WELL

That land within ten miles of Good
ing can be irrigated from flowing well:
has been demonstrated within the past
three months. The first of these wells
was put down by Frank Blazer on the
Johnson place, about ten miles north
east of Gooding. A 4inch well was
svnk to depth of 1O3 feet, and con-
slant flow of forty inches was obtained.
Next week Mr.. Blazer will start work
on a we'll on land owned by his brother,
C. H. Blazer, eight miles due north of
Gooding, which will be sunk with a
view to obtaining an artesian flow.
Mr. Blazer states that the artesian
flow is not encountered in the lava, but
either Immediately above or below in a
stratum of clay which underlies the
lava. -Gooding Leader.

A CONFIDENCE GAVE

If one has lost confidence in mankind
and is skeptical as to the motives OF
his fellow man he has only to turn to
the Richdeld community spirit that
premates the very air, and learn of the
confidence one with the other, the
childlike faith that predominates in this
locality.
A few days ago one of the prominent
member of Richfields 400, concluded to
test this spirit, and proceeded to pre-
pare and pass around list consisting
of Is names, requesting them to sep
crate themselves with $500 each, of
the coin of the realm and no questions
asked Just throw the five into the
hopper, and say goodby to it, and have
confidence that the man who received
it would use it to a good advantage,
with the result that the community is
now the proud owner of one of Edisons
latest inventions, in the shape of a
music box, whole orchestra combined
in one machine, and to test it out a
select few braved the elements Tues
day night, and gathered at the city hall
and tripped the light fantistic, until the
wee hours.
