SALMON RIVER RUN
AMICABLY ARRANGED

airy to the pending litigation, recent
ly returned to this district from the
appellate court at San Francisco.
A hearing was had before Judge
DIETRICH last Thursday, Mr.. Wolfe ap-
pearing for settlers and the company
being represented by its manager, Mr..
G. NJ. Hall and it's attorneys, Rich
ards & Haga. During the hearing the
matter was pretty thoroughly thresh-
ed out. 1t was evident that water
could not be always kept running,
and the Canal company claimed that
unthrifty, careless and improvident US
ers of water would always be making
demands, to which some limit must be
set. The settlers maintained that a
very late spring and unfavorable
weather had created conditions at the
present that required additional water
to perfect and save crops that had
been we'll handled, as we'll as for
other purposes.
Judge DIETRICH, upon his part, indi-
Gated very plainly that he would moi
require the company to give a con
tinuous water-flow; at the same time
he evinced dislike to cutting the wat
err off the canals entirely, and stated
that while the needs OF the pruuen
farmer must at all times be consider
ed, industrious care and economy
must be asked, even if the rotation o.
use required night work during thu
run.
After the morning session and upoI
going to lunch, the Judge advised tn
parties to agree upon some practica
compromise, at the same time indl
eating that upon his return at tw'
o'clock he would make an order j
necessary. 1t would seem that Meth
er party felt very sure what such a
order would be. At all events !
was mutually agreed that the waite
should be shut off, August fifteenth
for one week-then to be put bacl
at least in the main canals, and re
naming necessities to be subsequent
ly considered.

A Canning Party consisting of Doc

A Camping Party consisting of Doc
tors Sawyer and Coughlan, Messrs.
Thometz, Riser and H. r. Grant,
with their respective wives and fam
lilies, including a sister of Mrs. Riser,
Miss Marian Willis, returned Sunday
evening from a weeks outing up in
the Shoshone Basin. A fine time is
reported, especially on account of the
unusual and exciting incidents there
of. Their transportation facilities hav-
ing been augmented by a mountain
wagon and mule team, they we're au-
thoritatively advised that if one mule
was tied. the other would stick
around. When the loose mule could
not be found next morning, argument
ran high as to whether it had strayed
toward HOLSTER or toward Twin
Springs: but just as a volunteer par
ty vas starting for the latter place
the mule came back Then there was
the man overheard excitement-one
Herbert Grant being lost, strayed OF
stolen" so far as the rest of the party
was concerned, for the space of three
days. The moral is pointed and the
tale adorned somewhat differently by
different members of the party. But
a concensus of the various narratives
made it appear that DR.. Sawyer wand
cred away from the other men during
a trip to the farther end of the basin
that Grant, good Samaritan that he is
set forth to rescue him; that, sleuth
ing along on the plain trail of the
Doctors hobnailed walkemfasts, Herb
failed to discriminate when a sheep
herder, also wearing ~hob-nails, cross
ed the tracks; and that consequently
after tramping about 'steen miles h
brought up, after nightfall, at a sheel
camp, some forty miles from nowhere
So far as Herb was concerned, hi
mind was easy. There was eats ant
drinks and all out doors for a bed
= room; and, if he didn't know the wa.
: back, why he could stand pat-whicl
: we understand he did do, until tn
searching party arrived! But it wa
different at the camp.
: There, as Byron hath it,
WAS hurrying to and fro,
And gathering tears and trembling
of distress and cheeks all pale, etc.
But, like the mule, Herb. came bac
- all safe and sound.

DR.. Shepherd Resigns
Presbyterian Pulpit
Called To Trinidad, Colorado, Able
Preacher and Successful Worker
VIII Leave Twin Falls

After a %pastorate of about four and
a half years, during which the con-
gregation has grown rapidly, the
heavy debt been wiped out and a new
place of worship which will be sec
ond to none in the state, almost com
pleted, DR.. John F. Shepherd, d. d.,
last Sunday resigned the pastorate of
the First Presbyterian church to ac-
cept a call to Trinidad. Colorado. The
resignation takes effect September
II. The congregation gathered
around DR.. Shepherd after service to
express regrets and to urge that he
reconsider his resignation to leave
Twin Falls, where his work for the
upbuilding of the congregation has
borne such abundant fruit, but it is
understood that he will adhere tc
his determination to go to Trinidad
where there is a field for his exc
cutive ability. Triniday has d popula-
ton of 10000, and a fine church, will
a large pipe organ. The call was made
unanimously, by ballot, although there
were other applicants.
Among the duties performed by DR.

Shepherd during his stay in Idaho,
was the management of the mission
fund for the the southern part of the
state. The Presbyterian church is yet
relatively weak in this state and DR..
Shepherd performed with character
istic vigOr and discrimination, the
distribution of between $4,000 and
$4,000 annually in a manner that in
creased the efficiency of church work.
During his p~astorate here, he estab-
lished a church at Pleasant View. Five
hundred and thirty new members were
received into the church, of whom 4S7
joined in Twin Falls and the remain
der in Pleasant View. He baptised
more than 200 and officiated at 101
weddings. He was present at the gen.
eral assembly of the Presbyterian
church at Atlantic City, as a delegate
and attended the Dallas general as
sembly last year as a member of the
mission board.
AS minated, when DR.. Shepherd
arrived in this city he found a debt
to be cleared away and a field for or
ganizatiOn and extension. He took up
the work with ability, determination
and perseverance and met with great
success. An accomplished scholar
and an able preacher, he made a pow
erful impression on his people.
DR.. Shepherd has taken an active
and fearless part in ali matters per-
tanning to public welfare and public
morals. That in so doing he brought
himself occasionally into conflict with
others as convinced, as intense and as
determined as himself, is natural anC
in such cases, when the light of battle
shone in the eye on either side,dt may
have happened that harsh Judgment
we're expressed, but the fundamental
honesty of purpose, and the ability o
the pastor of the First Presbyterian
church was never questioned during
the numerous conflicts which he wag
ed for what he sincerely believed t
be the right. His passing will be re
GREETED by the people generally ant
the best wishes of the whole commu
nifty will go with him to his new fielC
Of labor.
A telegram received this Afternoon
informs DR.. Shepherd that his daugh.
ter, Miss Ruth Shepherd, has beer
elected to a high school position il
the Trinidad schools.

Social conditions in the vicinity of

such that the officials of Burlington
have been given to understand by army
doctors that if something ism t done to
bring about an improvement it is not
unlikely that the post will be moved
The problem is of course difficult one
but the people of Burlington ought tc
