The Shothono Falls Electric Light and
Irrigation company lm obtained water
rights on both sides of the fulls nnd has
already begun operations. "Wo know
from personal Inspection of the falls , "
nays the writer , "that the problem of
drawing oft the water from tlio fulls to
tlio wheels Is n much simpler ono than
that presented nt Niagara. No tunnels
will bo required , but n rock-cut channel
tupping the rlvor nbovo the brink will
within n few hundred yards carry the
water to n suitable point whence it maybe
bo dropped over the cliff in Iron pipes
to the nhnttm below the fulls where will
bo located the Polton wheels and dec
ide generating npparntus. The posi
tion of tovonil small islands on either
sldo of the river nbovo the falls is such
as to form natural wing dams , which
ulll divert to the artificial channels all
the water thnt can bo utilized for many
yourH to come , nnd to permit of an In
crease to almost any extent by artlflcinl
monns , whenever such is required , with
comparatively llttlo outlay. "
Obtaining power for mechanical pur
poses is really an insignlllcunt part of
the company's plans- The great object
In vlow is to harness the power nnd
make it fructify the surrounding coun
try , vnst stretches of which only require
moisture to become agricultural ciirdon
spots. Thus the power of the falls will
in turn olovuto wntor to surrounding
heights , whence it will How through
now barren wnstcs. Experiments on u
hiilllclont bcale have demonstrated the
fertility of the irrigated soli , producing
cereal and root crops in abundance and
fruits to a limited extent. The writer
shows that whoco the bluffs are
but forty foot high , in the expend- !
tuio of 5,600 liorso power , suf-
Ik'lont water can bo raised to irriguto
lliO,00 ( ) ticrcs of land. In the way of revenue -
onuo , the charges throughout the west
for water rights vary from $16 to 840 per
aero when the water is brought onto the
land , nnd from $2 to $3 per ncro a your.
Figuring on ? 15 per acre the revenue in
sight will bo $1,800,000 for every
6,600 liorso power expended , with
a yearly income of from 82-10,000
to $ : iGO,000 , which will bo per-
potunl. The company expect to bo
tiblu to reclaim eventually several mil
lion acres of land. Multiplying this by
two and three dollars will give the an
nual income to bo derived from this
sottrco alone. It Is evident that by establishing
tablishing cloven units of this si/.o the
annual income from this source alone at
SU per ucro will bo over 15 per cent on
$2roOO,000.
Hut this is not all. Wood River , ono
of Mio most important mining districts
of the country , lies directly to the north
nnd already consumes largo amounts of
power -which nt present is produced
from wood and coal It is intended to
tup this market and furnish both power
and light cheaper than they can bo pro
duced ph tlio spot.
The project is a gigantic. ono , nnd if
carried out on the lines Indicated will
prove of incalculable benefit to Idaho.
A 1'oftnll Itarost.
F. B" . Schormorhorn , geologist of
Idaho's World's fair bureau , who recently -
contly discovered the great glaciers in
Idaho county , has found a fossil lorest
in the center of Custor county. Iti the
sfmt locality ho has discovered the petri
fied bones of an extinct race of mon nnd
animals , which will bo sent to Chicago.
The iorcst covers an nron of four square
miles , nnd the condition of the ground
shows thnt nt ono time nn enormous How
of clay , which worked in from the north
west , has buried the trunks of trees to a
great depth. This clay has turned
to stone , nnd no ono can be
ccrtuin of its true depth without
going to great expense. All the
trees in this forest have their
tops broken off nnd stand from ten to
forty feet nbovo the ground , averaging
about twenty-eight to thouore. Schor
morhorn took the oxnct measurement
of all the trunks of the trees and found"
them to n vertigo twelve foot in diameter
on top and sixteen feet in diameter nt
the surface of the ground. How far the
trunk reached thtough the clay stone to
the soil ho had no moans of ascertain
ing. A branch which had bccomo de
tached from a tree , and was lying about
sixteen foot horn it , wus three foot in
diameter. From the six.o of the trees
nnd their branches , Mr. Sehormornorn
thinks they are a npecios of redwood
such us is found in California , and attri
butes their fossilr/.ntion to the clay ,
which , bearing a large part of mineral ,
nnd presumably coming from some vol-
cuno , soon turned the living trees into
monuments of stono. Mr. Scliermor-
liorn discovered some Hue specimens of
float nnd stream tin nnd is going into
that section to prospect further for that
metal. Among the specimens secured
from Lomhlnnd Custor counties urogold ,
silver , lend , copper , iron , tin , zinc and
platinum used in line electrical and sur
veying instruments. Antimony was
found largely in the Seiifoam district ol
Ouster county.

It is a binRulai- fact thnt the most
precious yums are composed of the most
common substances. The diamond is
tlio purest form of carbon and is identi
cal In composition with ordinary clinr-
coal without tlio impurities of tlio lat-
tor. The ruby , on the other hand , is
nearly pure alumina , a substance found
In profusion in every clay ban I ; . The
scientific name for crystali/.ed alumina
is corundum , and the gems compre
hended under this designation are some
times inoro valuable than diamonds of
tlio . The ' . the

ire , thp oriental emerald , the oriental
topaz , the oriental amethyst , the ori
ental aqua marine , the oriental cliryso-
lito , the hyacinth and other precious
stones tire all alumina , the vnrii tlos of
color being caused by inappreciable
quantities of metallic oxides.

SarsapariSIa
Is superior lo all other preparations
claiming to be blood-purifiers. First
of all , because the principal ingredi
ent used in it is the extract of gen
uine Honduras sarsapurilhi root , the
variety richest in medicinal proper-
Cures Catarrh
low dock , being raised expressly for
the Company , is always fresh and
of the very best kind. "With equal
discrimination and care , each of the
other ingredients are selected and.
compounded. It is
because it is always the same in ap
pearance , flavor , and effect , and , be
ing highly concentrated , only small
doses are needed. It is , therefore ,
the most economical blood-purifier
p in existence. It
L/llicS makes food nour-
& work picas-
ant , sleep refreshing -
ing , and life enjoyable. It searches
out all impurities in the system and
expels them harmlessly by Uic natu
ral channels. AVER'S Sarsaparilla
gives elasticity to the step , and im
parts to the aged uud infirm , rc-
ncweil health , strength , and vitality.
