FAILURE IDAHO CITIZENS
WILL STOP DAM PROJECT

Twin Falls-Congressman Addison
T. Smith, in a statement made, says
that congress is definitely committed
to the American Falls project but fail,
ure on the part of Idaho citizens to
validate their contracts for supple
mental water rights within the nexa 6
months will mean that the project will
be held up for the next 10 years and
the funds for that purpose be appro-
priated to some other section of the
country.
Another move has been made to save
the project for Idaho and that is the
organization of a district including
lands in sever Idaho counties. Re-
quests have been sent representatives
of those districts to attend a conven-
ton for the purpose of taking action
in this matter.

us and going to camp at or heal the
battlefield we pushed on to overtake
them.
Scene of Massacre.
In an hours driving we came to the
place where the horrible scene took
place, but found the Indians had run
off the stock, taking the provisions,
clothing, ETC., of the train, but left the
wagons, which the OK trains ahead of
us had taken and gone on, in pursuit
of grass. / found quite a quantity of
blood, and fragments of such things
as immigrants usually carry with them
and it was evident that the Indians
had done their hellish deed in a hasty
manner and left.
The place selected by them for the
attack was the best on the road and
not far distant from the road which
turns down to Salt Lake, which I
learned is IT'S miles south of us. Here
we pushed on endeavoring to over
take them, but got a short distance on
account of the darkness, and were OBJ
liged to camp on the very ground
where the Indians had, a few hours
previous, a a ring with their pam
demonoum k shouts, and red with
the blood of innocent men and women
We at once put out a strong picket
guard on the surrounding hills, got a
hasty supper in the dark staked our
mules in the sage brush and hoped the
night would be a short one. Nothing
happening, we pushed on at daybreak
for the OK teams and grass, which we
found in a camp five miles distant, and
here we camped during the day.
Casualties Listed.
l here found three men killed and
several wounded, one woman mortally
wounded, and the wagons which the
Indians had left. Two of the men kill
led were from Iowa City, A. j. Winter
and an Italian whose name l did not
learn. The other man was from New
York City, Bulwinkle was his name
and 1t is said had some $4,000 which
was taken from him. ALI were buried
here but the affair did not end here.
Some thirty men from the two OK
trains and the trains attacked the pre-
Vtous day, started out in pursuit Of the
Indians n their stock. After travel
ing some seven miles in the direction
in which the Indians went they came
suddenly upon them and a fight imme-
diately commenced. At the first fire
three fourths of the white men ran and
the red men pursued, and after a run
ming fight of some three miles the In
dams ceased their pursuit.
In this fight three of the whites
were killed and five severely wound
ed, one l think mortally. After we
learned the fate of the last party the
greatest excitement prevailed in
camp and a small party went to their
assistance to recover the dead and
wounded n of which was not found
and one had been scalped, the first
scalped man l eve saw. Late in the
evening both parties returned and two
more OK trains came into camp, max
ing now some two hundred wagons and
400 men and 800 women and children.
This morning we all started to-
gether after burying the dead, and
came 13 miles to Raft River, where
we are all encamped for the day, and
where l am writing this.
Here the road forks, one for Oregon
and Washington, and the other for Cal.

system, the railroad, the printing press;
chemical food and electric light; they
have knit together the remote parts
of the world into one vast interdepend-

ancient, irrelevant habits of thought;
to literally new world we continue to-
apply the old mind and the old meth

where we have teachers. You will
never know how you have helped us
and how we love you for it, and we
