FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN.

The campaign for the Fourth Liber-
ty Loan begins September 2S and
closes October 49, While the amount
has not yet been announced, 1t Is gem
orally conceded II will be for a larger
amount than any OF the preceding
loans. The American people, there
fore, are called upon to raise larger
sum OF money in shorter length OF
time than ever before. There is need,
therefore, for prompt action-prompt
and efficient work and prompt and lib
eral subscriptions.
We have great inspiration for a
great effort. The news from the bat
tie front inspires every American
heart, not only with pride and patriot
ism but with a great incentive to do
his or her part. There is no shirking,
no shifting of the individual burden,
no seltishness by American soldiers in
France; there should be none here.
We are both supporting the same
country and the same cause-our
army in one way, ourselves in anoth-

Robert keast Has Miraculous Escape
From Death.

Robert Keast. fourteen year old son
of Mrs. Alfred Keast. fell from steel
tower OF the Twin Falls Power Co.
out near the 0dgers mine last Satur-
day afternoon. He and two younger
brothers, Alfred and George, went out
to get potatoes from the patch near
the mine. II was on the way home
that Robert decided to climb the tow
er. II is thought that when he reach
ed the top he lost his balance, and
reaching for something to take hold OF
his hand grazed the live wire. He
was thrown distance OF forty feet
and landed on the rocks at the foot OF
the tower.
Instead OF going TO the mine for
help, Alfred ran home to his mother
and told her to call the doctor be-
cause Robert was hurt. Mrs. Keast
and DR.. Mcdaniel hurried to the
scene and Robert was taken to the
Darling hospital.
An X-ray examination was taken
Tuesday and disclosed broken bone

sAsht burn on the hand that graxed
the wires and the left side OF his body
is very badly bruised. Robert had
been working on the Albert Drake
farm, near Mansfield all summer, aud

take up his school work.

SUGAR STOCKS Low IN FRANCE.

Stocks OF sugar in Paris on May 81,
1918, were about half OF what they
were on the same date In 1917. The
total amount OF sugar in France is
lower thS ever before, even in war
times. This condition, reported by
the United States Food Administra~
tion, emphasizes the imperative need
for sugar conservation in this coun-
try, In order that the present French

DRILLING FOR NEW LOCATE ON
A New Shaft Will be Put Down to
the North West OF the
Present Openings

The Cole & Mcdonald people were
given a contract recently TO drill the
territory just north OF the odgers
mine openings ana work was started
assembling machinery during the
week.
The purpose OF the drilling is to 10
cate place TO sink new shaft. The
reason for this is that the present
working shaft is in the ore area and
so much ore must be left TO support
the shaft as TO make It Improbable to
keep the present location and leave
the ore, and unsafe II the ore is re-
moved.

SUPERVISORS ASK
FOR Information
WILL BOND FOR LAND If THE LAW
ALLOWS SUCH PROCEDURE
PARK CLOvERLAND TRAIL.
Cleveland Cliffs Make Exception
ally Good Offer on Tract Along
the TuIIy Road

The board OF supervisors OF Iron
county went on record last Saturday
as favoring the purchase OF such
timberlands along the Cloverland
Trail on Iron county as can be pur-
chased at reasonable figures, pro-
vided the law is such that the board
can order an election to bond for
the purchase OF said lands.
The subject came up for considera-
tion on the report OF the county en-
gineer that the Cleveland Cliffs COM
pany had offered TO sell the heavy
tract OF timber along the Tully road
for $4,000, the lands 10 be purchased
for park purposes. There are eight
forties in the tract and IL Is certain
that the Cleveland-Cliffs company IS
offering the lands to the public at
less figure than they would sell them
to private purchasers. This tract OF
land is one OF the finest along the
Cloverland trail and its situation
nearly midway between Crystal Falls
and Iron River would in few years
make II fayorite park for visitors
from the two cities on Sundays and
HOLIDAYS.

Opened In Record Time.

II will be remembered that the Cd
gers mine was opened in record time.
Some drilling was done before the
final location OF the shaft was decided
upon, hut not enough to defnitely'se
tie the question OF the possibility OF
ore interfering with the workings in
the future.
When the shaft was sunk the second
lift ore was encountered and subse-
quent developments go to show that
the shaft Is probably located in a
horse OF rock that exists between two
ore bodies and may cut out at any
time and leave the entire workings in
the ore.
The engine house and other surface
equipment Is endangered as well as
the shaft when the caving of the ore
body starts and so as TO be on the safe
side the management has decided to
shift the equipment and place the mine
opening at point where there will be
no probability OF danger.
Probably Drive Deep Holes.
In order to be sure that the new
location is free from the possibility o.
ore cutting into It at depth, 1t will
be necessary to do some deep drilling
unless II develops, as Is confidently ex-
pected, that the new location is in the
big belt OF black states that lie to the
north OF the Odgers mine.
The 0dgers ore body is an entirely
new development. The course OF the
formation from the Tobin mine has
been definitely traced and is known,
but the outlet for the formation after
the Odgers enrichment is passed Is
still question. 1t was supposed at
first that the formation continued thru
TO the northwest but some drill work
done in that section seems to discoun-
tenance that theory. The other alter
native Is that II either "bellies" I'm
from the southeast or that II proceeds
to the northeast after the odgers en-
richment is passed.
Indications are that the ore Is MAX
ing TO the east although there has
been but little development work done
tina; way so far 1t Is probably for
that reason that the management fears
10 risk a shaft on the east side OF the
1eposit especially In view OF the fact
that some OF the drilling done on the
Odgefs property established the fact
that the ore Is capped to some extent
at least by the grey states. On the
Goneseo property to the southeast the
ore is found at a great depth under
the grey states.

Could Purchase Only BY Bonds.

Recognizing that the only way In
which the county could attempt to
acquire these lands Is through bond
issue, the board ordered the county
engineer TO get all the prices that he
can get upon timber lands along the
Cloverland trail in this county and at
the same time consult with the pros
ecuting attorney. and II the prices re-
ceived warrant the purchase OF the
lands and the law Is such that bonds
can be issued an election will be
called for that purpose. the vote TAX
ing place at the same time as the
general election this fall
The board adjourned subject TO the
call OF the chairman so that in case
developments are such that any good
can come out OF an extra meeting
one can be called and the question
submitted
The supervisors in passing opinions
upon the subject were pretty well
agreed that the investment is a very
good one. but they don't feel that the
present generation should pay for the
large investments TO be made when
