They're Coming Home

By JOHN E. DOLSEN.
The years are 90 long now and drsary
and lonely
Since the children have gone into
homes Of their own.
The house seems deserted, for John
and only
Are left in it now, and we live all
alone.
IL often seems strange, even yet, to
be sitting
I, With NO one but John through the
evenings long,
And I listen at times for the quick,
eager fitting
Of footsteps o'erhead or for
snatches Of song.
While the children were little our
ga work was much harder. VI
Twas often an almost impossible
ia task #
To pay all the bills and keep food in
the larder,
To watch them and answer what.
s'er they might ask.
Still l oftsntlme. think, though I've

And more nearly disabled than ever

That all Of the cares l would willing

And every year a. it draws toward

both, can be used on these devices,
and the bombs sprinkled over the
enemy in great quantities without
any risk to those sending them out.
by these machines and the long dis
lance guns, used in aircraft, arsenals
and ammunition stations can be
blown up; bridges and lines OF rail-
road destroyed at great distances
and the enemy rendered powerless to
carry on operations.
Another type of airship has been
built that will carry forty men with
machine guns and ammunition. A
second type of aircraft will carry
five tons of provisions, and equip
ment. Therefore a thousand OF
these planes could land 10000 men
and $500 tons of provisions and
equipment; land them without notice
on a shore or any community, and
start operations at once. The air.
craft carrying the long range guns
could proceed to blow up the bridges
and railroad lines, arsenals, ammu-
milton stations, and whatever else
might make 1t possible for the enemy
to operate in the locality. II in spite
of all these things an army should
advance against them, they could
sprinkle the country to windward of
the enemy with the poison gas bombs
and the gases would strike every
thing dead in that territory. No
matter what direction the wind
blows from towards the enemy these
aircrafts can get to windward Of
them to drop their bombs. Battle
ships of the present day travel some
thing like twenty miles an hour;
while the airships will travel from
$50 to 200 miles an hour, when de-
veloped on the plans spoken of by
the British writer. When feet of
hostile airships is turned loose
against the country, they would
operate rapidly and the country at
tackled would have no time to pre-
pare or recover until they were
wiped off the earth.

and from source Of great natural
attraction to the tourists Of the
world. 1t is source of congratula-
tion to the Blackfoot country that
this new wonderland, rivaling the
National park of the Grand Canyon
and other matters of national inter-
est, should be located within few
hours of our own doors.
After rejecting upon all the
blessings of the year and all the
sources of natural wealth and wealth
created by the people Of the Black
foot country, there comes the COM
forting thought that there is another
resource not yet mentioned, but
which is nevertheless a tangible and
valuable asset arising from the will
of the people-the willingness to
work together for public good in any
and all matters of public interest. It

of the Blackfoot country, will BE-
greatly improved during the period
Of construction, and with the water
rights supplemented thru the In
creased storage, productions will be
greatly increased during all the
years to come. 3t
The Blackfoot country Is q sub
ject for congratulations in view of
the proposed enlargement of the
Fort Hall irrigation system. now de-
signated as the Greater Fort Hall
Project. They rejoice in the bright
prospects Of congressional appropria-
tions amounting to half million
dollars, for use in the coming year,
most of which will be expended with
In few hours ride of Blackfoot,
and will result In permanent i'm
pfovements, adding to the wealth
and security of all her citizens.
These great projects do not start
of themselves, but have to be done
by human agencies; and the country
at large is indebted to the thought
full men who have for months past
devoted part Of their energies and
their means to securing the survey,
and the report upon the survey, that
makes it possible to lay the whole
project before congress, and the
other men of official Washington, to
secure their favorable action, which
now seems assured. The enlarge
ment OF the Fort Hall project, prom
ises a decided extension of the ir-
rigated land, a larger production
from the agricultural interests; an
increased volume of business; and
permanent addition to the wealth of
the country. To thoughtful men who
study the means of relieving money
stringency, and averting panics, to
securing employment for labor, and
making better conditions for the
homes in general, the prospect for
securing the beginning of construc-
ton work on these great projects, is
looked upon with satisfaction and
hopefulness.
Every community is benefited by
every addition to its wealth. The
Snake river valley and especially
that part lying just westward from
Blackfoot, has had the addition dur
ing the past year, of new source of
wealth, of which it had not dreamed
before. We refer to the discovery
and explorations of the famous Val
ley OF the Moon. This is q great ex-
panse OF the lava beds, lying sixty
or seventy miles west of Blackfoot,
that were the last to be extinguished
in the volcanic eruptions; whose
craters are the freshest: whose lavas
are the cleanest and toughest;
whose cones were the hottest; and
whose caves are now the coolest.
And it is only within the last year
that explorations have been carried
on that reveal the wonderland that
has been named the Valley of the
Moon, because of its resemblance
to the moon, in having lost it's heat,
Is cooled off to a condition where it
g habitable, and yet uninhabitable.
For hundred years the great lava
beds OF the Snake river valley have
been more or less mystery,
wonderland, and place to be
dreaded, because they were not we'll
understood. We now approach an
IRA of a hundred years when they
will be, explored, exploited, enjoyed, !

UNITED AMERICAN IN ORE.

The west drift on the $50 level ot the United American is in good mil ore and the shoot appears to have greater importance than at first thought possible by the management
 The company proposes to install heav- fer compressor machinery and again take up the development of its ore body on the $50 level. The further development of this level will also be of importance to the Tom Reed, the level above having been connected through from the Aztec shaft and car rying a very long shoot of ore. This drift will open the mine 200 feet be- low the Aztsc deep level and as the American has good ore body at the bottom of the $50 winze there is no reason why the big shoot should not be opened in both properties. s.5 ..

E. M. MAC DONALD < AND ASSOCIATES.
 OPTION PROPERTY

M. E. Mcdonald has taken an option
 on the Gold Key group of claims, ly-
 ing between the Sunbeam and the
 Gold Chain, from Burt & Probasco. The Sunbeam is now being developed by w. J. Loring and associates and the Gold Chain is one of the best look ing propositions in the state. The op- tion runs for 30 days and was taken by MT. Mcdonald for his New York associates. He intends to leave for the big city in short time to give the associates line on the district and it's opportunities and present a report on the mines.
 MT. Mcdonald is quoted as saying that the Katherine section is one of the most potential gold districts in the country and that it is entitled to all consideration in the way of inten- sive development. This gentleman has had wide experience in mining, having been in practically every min ing camp from the Artic to South America. He has followed mining all his life and is in position to know good thing when he sees it, therefore can speak by the card when he says that the Katherine is one of the best gold sections in the Unit ed States. He has mined in Mica raugua, Idaho, Montana, Colorado, New Mexico and Mexico. :.
 As one by one the big fellows come Mohaveward and secure interests, es- pecially in mining claims that have the earmarks of making mines, we feel that old Mohave is coming into its own. That Mir. Macdonald will be desirable acquisition to the active mining men of the county goes with out saying and we earnestly hope that he has secured a winner.
