PRUNE ORCHARD IN
ELMORE COUNTY

In last Sundays issue of the Boise
Statesman we noted a page illustrat-
ed writeup of Gooding and surround
ing territory. 1t was well gotten up,
but
Under the picture of the Swiss
Valley orchard appears this caption:
"The largest Italian prune orchard
in the Northwest, located in Good
ing county, is the property of the
Swiss Valley Orchard company. It
consists of $50 acres of bearing
trees"
This statement is correct with the
exception that the fine orchard lies
wholly in Elmore county, being fully
three miles from the Gooding county
line. 1t is the property of Chicago
capitalists, and is under the capable
management of l.. G. Dunn, who
spares no pains to make the orchard
the best of its kind in the world. The
orchard lies almost south of Ticeska.

STARTS
SERVING TINE
Pleads Guilty to Passing Bad Check
And Goes to Pen for From
l to IA Years

N. o. Porter, alias d. M. Wright,
and who possibly has many other
aliases, evidently figured that there
was small chance of beating the case
which had been built up against
him by the county sheriff's office, and
lost no time in pleading guilty to
the crime of forgery before District
Judge M. I. Church, Monday, when
court convened for the October term.
1t is quite probable that PORTER
figured that charges could be brought
aginst him in other parts of the coun-
try which would carry longer sent
ences, and it would be better to take
the dose which the Idaho statutes
provide for forgery.
The sheriff's Office now has on
hand a neat little collection of tele-
Grams from peace officers all over
the country who were aching to get
their hands on Porter.
Mondays session of the district
court was largely taken up with
hearing demurrers, and setting dates
for jury cases. The session will re-
convene Wednesday, October IS.

Mining Matters
LOOKING UP
Rocky Bar the Scene of Much Activ-
ity-Claims Sell at Good
Figure

This summer has witnessed much
activity in the mining section con-
tiguous to Rocky Bar, and indica-
tion are that it will increase as time
passes. Several good prospects have
been reported as sold for sums in
the neighborhood of $4,000, and
much assessment work has been com
pleted with others now doing their
"cinch work"
The Rocky Bar Mining Co., owners
of the Treasurer and other claims,
started their mill two weeks ago,
Marcus White, first-class mill man,
being in charge Of the plant. The
company is now working on five feet
of ore, and expect to clean up the
stuff in sight within the next two
The company will then put
in a crosscut for next years opera
tions which will cut several ledges.
This company is enthusiastic about
the outlook for Rocky Bar and their
holdings in particular.

have some fine claims in the Rocky
Ban district, passed through Noun

REUSSES FREED
OF FRAUD CHARGE

The jury in the federal court
which last week had the fate of the
Reusses, father and son, in their
charge. acquitted the defendants af-
ter being out but a comparatively
short time Mrs. Mauvie Reuss and
Charles bingham had previously been
freed of all blame by the prosecution.
The charge against the defendants
was using the mails to defraud, in
that they sold stock in the Elmore
Copper Co., and lots in the townsite
of Elmore City 1t was held by the
that the mine had no po-
tential value. Witnesses for the de-
fense, however, testified that the
mine was not the barren proposition
it had been pictured, and the jury
evidently saw the matter in the same
light. and gave the Reusses a clean
bill of health.

MACDONALD SALE
is A SUCCESS

The Macdonald sale Of stock and
household goods, held at the Toll
Gate Saturday, was quite well at
tended, most of the bidders being
from Mountain Home, Grand View
and Smith Prairie.
The prices obtained from the sale
of the livestock were disappointing
but the bids for the implements and
household goods evened up matters.
The major share of the livestock
was purchased by Mike Mccartney of
Dixie.
The Toll Gate Ranch has been
leased for a term of three years by
Jake Hansen, who is now in posses
sion of the property.
Mr.. Macdonald is now connected
with an auto accessory company
which manufactures the movable
headlights which follow the turns OF
the road, and which should prove to
be a good thing to all concerned.

McKEEGAN SALE
BRINGS GOOD PRICES

The McKeegan sale of livestock,
which was held Monday afternoon
was well attended. The COWS which
were auctioned off brought very good
prices. but the figures bid on the
hogs were rather disappointing. The
general average, however, was good.
Mr.. Sacriter was the fortunate pur-
chaser of four of the fine COWS.

stage OVERTURNS-
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Driver Runs Off of Grade in Attempt
ing to Pass WagOn-Woman
Cut and Bruised

One of the smaller Packard stages
of the Trask Bros. line, making the
run from Twin Falls to Boise, ran
off the grade about two miles south
of Mountain Home Tuesday evening,
tipping over on it's side. The occu-
pants of the stage were badly shaken
up, and the passengers received
several cuts and bruises which called
for medical attention.
It is said that the lights on the
vehicle failed, and the driver was
unable to see the road clearly. In
attempting to go around a wagon
which was travelling in the same di-
rectiOn the stage was unable to again
climb up on the highway, and as the
bank became sleeper the bus was un-
able to maintain its equilibrium and
overturned. The passengers and
driver got out of the vehicle by the
simple expedient of kicking out the
the windshield and crawling through
the opening.
Possibly two hours after the acci-
dent the stage was discovered to be
in flames, and although the fire de-
partment made a quick run to the
scene with the chemical, the convey
ance was soon a mass of blackened
steel and iron. 1t is not known just
how the fire started, the guesses as to
its origin being about equally divided
between a shorted wire and care
lessly thrown match alighting upon
the gasoline soaked earth.
The amount of the insurance car
ried on the vehicle is not known.
The following victims were in
jured in the accident: Mrs. w. T.
Roberts, Bellevue, Idaho; bad cut on
left side of head which required sew
eral stitches, left shoulder, left thigh |
and left ear badly bruised.
Mrs. Susan Cunmens of Boise, Ida
ho; cut and bruised about face, left |
eye swollen almost shut, left ear al

Mrs. E. NJ. Wolfe of Twin Falls;
bruised about face, nose hurt and
eft hip sprained.
w. B. Layton of San Francisco,

CONTINUES GOOD

The condition of John f. Gaines,
who was operated upon last Wednes-
day of last week at St. Alphonso's
hospital in Boise, continues to be
satisfactory. The operation upon Mr.
Gaines last week was of temporary
nature, to relieve an alarming con-
dition, and he will be Obliged to un-
dergo another operation within the
next few days. His strength is inn
proving, and it is believed that he

Inger Singh, evidently a native
prince of India, travelling "incog
and incidentally helping to keep the
o. S. l.. r. r. running, hailing from
India, was arrested Monday after
noon and charged with being drunk
and having in his possession a bot
tie of good old Eyes you bet, putrid)
made in America bootleg whiskey.
AS a matter of fact the contents of
that bottle looked like the Snake riV-
er water when in full flood and
should have been labeled "Shake
we'll before taking for there was
a thick sediment therein which con-
tained the kick and a rich CD smell
of - we'll of something - possibly
solidified wood alcohol - but not
whiskey, which remained on the bot
tom until shaken. Undoubtedly Singh
shook it for he received the full force
of that kick in one dose. 1t darned
near knocked him out. His Royal
Highness, the Nabob of Nowhere-in-
particular, plead guilty to both
charges but made an eloquent plea
to the judge for mercy being as he
said "a poor working man thousands |
of miles away from home and Moth |
er." This plea (almost) moved Judge |
Gump to tears and out of the bigness
of his heart he left Singh off with the
nominal fine of $3.50 and costs. |
A good drink always costs $500 and |
costs in our town so Singh got off |
easily! His Royal Highness in truly
oriental style thanked his honor and
the two burly officers who had ar
rested him for their leniency towards
him and no doubt all three officials
will soon receive some Indian title
for their generous act of mercy,
while Inger Singh will return to his
daily task of shovelling dirt for the
o. S. L. believing, no doubt, that it
is better to be "singed than badly
burnt" having been rescued from
Z 9th by being prevented from drink
4ng the entire contents of that bot
tie for which he says he paid $3.50
a pint. Evidently freight rates on
this stuff have gone up since we
bought any!

Power Contract Expires

The Idaho Power company have
notified the Village Board that con-
tract for supplying power for the
Village waterworks system has ex-
pired, it having been made for per-
iod of 10 years. This has decidedly
increased the cost of operation of
pumps and the Board are now con-
sidering the matter of putting in a
gravity system and doing away with
the pumps entirely. So far this prop
osition is in its infancy. A site for
a 100000 gallon storage stank has
been found and if this plan can be
carried out it will mean a saving of
over $4,000 year to the Village.
This new tank would be of concrete
and would cost less by more than
half of that of steel tank such as
had been proposed for the additional
storage, urgently needed, for next
years irrigation and water supply.

looks like it according to the records
of the Village. This year, so far,
building permits have been granted
for the erection of 25 dwelling
houses and applications are now
before the Board making a total so
far of 29 new houses, 5 permits were
issued for garages, for extensions
and additions, for chicken houses,
for the high school, 1 apartment,
for a scale house, 1 church, / swim
ming pool and / newsstand. In the
past two years over 100 houses have
been erected and building is not yet
stopped as seen by the applications
which will be passed on at the next
meeting of the board, one of which
is for large store building, and the
others are for dwelling houses and
yet it is hard to find house for
rent.
