MRS. IDA B. PAYNE
IS CALLED TO REST
Beautiful Life of Pioneer Woman
Closed by Death-Prominent in
Early History of State

Again our community is called
upon to pay their last sad respects
to an old resident, Mrs. Ida B. Payne
who passed away Tuesday evening
at 1920 O'Clock, after an illness o.
two weeks.
She leaves one daughter, Mrs
Lawrence j. Weaver, of somerton
Ariz.
Mrs. Payne was the widow of the
late George M. Payne, who was well
known among the newspaper men OF
Idaho and Nevada. She was born
in Kentucky in 1851. In the early
'7Os they moved to Nevada, locating
in Eureka in 1873. remaining there
until the Wood River, Idaho, excite
ment, which they followed to HALEY
in 1882, and continued to live there
several years, when they chose to
cast their lot with Mountain Home,
arriving here in the fall of 1888,
and have made their residence here
since that date.
Mrs. Payne was always interested
in the welfare of her home town, be-
ing among the first organizers of the
Woman's Clubs and taking active
part in all matters pertaining to the
pushing FORWARD and advancement of
Mountain Home and working for its
interests.
Mrs. Payne was foremost in the
pioneer church work of this county,
assisting in many ways toward the
building of the several churches now
in this city. She was charitable and
a friend to everyone, and her death
creates vacancy that will be hard
to fill.
Mrs. Payne was one of the few
who organized the Eastern Star
chapter in this town March 80, 1899.
She was elected the first worthy ma
tron at the time. On Dec. 16, 1912,

MINERS LIVE FOR FIVE
DAYS IN FLOODED MINE

The death of the AZ miners in the
Argonaut mine, California, brings to
mind the fact that in 1872 or 1873
miners in drift in the Lincoln mine
struck the old works of an adjoining
but abandoned mine. Five or six
men were killed quickly by foul air
or gases, and a food of water fol-
lowed and filled the mine for several
hundred feet. In a drift at the bot
tom of the shaft five or six men were
trapped, and with several hundred
feet of water over them or the drift.
Considering the foul air, the number
of men killed thereby and such a
depth Of water, the imprisoned min
'ers in the lower drift were lamented
as dead. But rescue work was rushed
and in four or five days the water
was lifted out Of the shaft, when
suddenly, with but little notice, up
came the men, weak, but delighted.
Coffins were in their homes awaiting
them, but they preferred their fani-
lies. Then men had gone to the far
end of the drift, which graded up
ward a little, and lived with their
heads just out of water until it was
out.

NOSE ALEXANDER
SAYS THE PEOPLE
ARE TAX CRAZY

Maintained
WOULD CLEAN HOUSE
Good Audience Hears Democratic
Candidate State Party Case
"Bullfrog a Game Bird"

Moses Alexander, Democratic can
didate for governor, spoke to a good
sized audience at the Weaver Thea
tre Thursday evening of last week on
the subject Of state affairs, lower
taxes being the burden of his song.
The former governor was intro
duced by Judge Watts, himself can
didate for district judge. In his in
troductory remarks the judge inti-
mated that the people of Idaho were
tired of being spied upon and fol-
lowed about as though they were
criminals, and that they would soon
put stop to it.
Mr.. Alexander opened up by stat
ing that he did not blame the rank
and file of the Republican party for
the extravagances of the state house
folks-that they had been fooled just
the same as everybody else.
He used the official figures OF Ell
more eounty's contributions to the
state tax as an illustration and
quoted figures to sustain his conten-
tion that the county was at present
paying three times the state tax it
did before the war.
Mr.. Alexander poked fun at the
game laws and stated that for the
first time in history you had to have
a license to hunt bullfrogs, this be-
ing the first instance in history
where the bullfrog was classed as
game bird.
Nose paid his respects to the state
constabulary, and admitted that this
bunch would go on the same day he
entered the state house. He also
said the same thing about the state
medical advisor and several other Of
ficers which he characterized as abb
solutely useless to the state.
Mr.. Alexander strongly cham
pioned a state bank guaranty law
and made an earnest plea for its pas
sage at an early date. He advised
the citizenry to take their money out
Of their socks and deposit it in the
banks, saying that not until this was
done could prosperity obtain.
He earnestly advised the election
of Democratic senator and member
Of the house in Elmore county so
that when he did enter the state
house as governor he would have the
packing Of the Legislature in his ef-
.orts to reduce taxation.
