TOURING CAR JUMPS
GRADE; NOW IN CANAL
Makes Drop of 80 Feet From
Bench Rd. Into Settlers Canal
Passengers, Escape Ser
ious Injury.

While being driven toward Boise at
a fast rate of speed Sunday night at
10 o'clock, large touring car owned
by c. w. Whiffen of Caldwell, failed
to- make a turn on the bench road a
few miles west of Boise, went over the
grade, landing in the Settlers canal
30 feet below. There were six passen-
gers in the car, none of which were
injured.
The trail where the car left the
road at the turn could be plainly
seen. It had a broken wheel which
made visible marks in the sagebrusf
between the road and the crest Of Tho
bench, down which it took the plunge
to the soft bottom of the canal.
While the escape of the occupants
was miraculous, it was due to thu
fact that the car struck the soft mut
i'll the half filled canal. Had it STRUCK
on hard ground the machine would
likely have been a total wreck and al
occupants injured il not killed.
Iit ih1itiIlle SloOu across
canal, sunk so deep in the mud tina
its license tag could not be seen unit
it was dug out. The damage to the ca
Is not known, but it is not thought t,
be heavy
1t could not be learned who was II
the car. The occupants got out wen
to nearby house and ordered a tax
to bring them to Boise
The car was discovered in tn
ditch this morning by f. l.. Sheldon
who has charge of the canal. Friday
Il slide choked the canal and the wa
ter had to be turned off all day Sat
urday and Sunday only a partial hea,
was turned on. Today owing to tn
machine being in the canal the floy
could not be increased. Had the cana
been filled to it's capacity, the waite
would have covered the seats of tn
rlachine.
Sheriff Post and his deputies visit
ed the car this morning, dug the Ii
cense out of the canal mud and dis
covered the name of the owner, whom
they notified this afternoon.

MOUNTAIN ROADS GOOD

Automobiles who drove into the
hills Sunday on the Idaho City road
report 1t in excellent condition. Some
drove as far as Placerville and re-
turned via the Horseshoe Bend road,
Which is not in as good shape, they
say, as the Idaho City road. Many
autoists were out Sunday on the
Mountain Home highway. This high
way is quite rough for a few miles
out of Boise bat after that distance is
