The first thing the democrats did
when they got into power was to
reduce the expenses of the governs
ment; the first thing the populists
would do if they should get there
would be to spend thirty>fve billion
of dollars. If you will think about
it moment there is wide differ
ence between reducing expenses
millions of dollars a year and in
creasing them billions; yet, there
are some poor people who had rather
squandcr than to save.

The capacity OF such machine is

WHEAT AND ALFALFA.
I find that this county is becoming d
noted feeding ground for cattle and
sheep. Parties drive their stock in,
and buy up thousands of tons of aital-
ia together with vast quantities of
wheat and oats. and this affords a
great home market for surplus grain.
Mr.. Bybee sold all his wheat to a
sheep man, who is wintering within a
half mile of his place. One man alone
is wintering $4,000 head of sheep here

Peaches have not been raised here in
quantity yet.
Potatoes-When it comes to them,
the whole world must stand and look
on amazed, for this is their kingdom,
and naturally SO. Think of 700 bushels
being raised on an acre of ground-a
pretty good crop in itself.
WHOLE TRAINS OF WHEAT.
AS far back as 1891 there was some
wheat raised about here, as will be
shown from the fact that the Union
Pacific in that year sent up here an
lengine and twenty-six empty box cars.
and the train was loaded from wagons
in just three hours. l can well believe
that you can throw your hat on a field

wind is blowing, it will blow it clear
across the field on top of the wheat
heads, so thickly and strong does it
grow. There is record here of one GER

the Bear, Snake, Boise, Payette,
Weiser and other rivers. At each of
these stations is established a river
height-gauge or scale, upon which the
height of the water is read daily by a
resident observer and weekly reports
made to Washington, D. c. At inter
walls Of two or three months, at differ
ent stages of the water. an accurate
measurement of the discharge of the
stream is made by a competent en-
gineer, with current meter and sound
ing line. After a series of such mea-
surements, embracing middle, high
and low waters, it becomes possible to
interpret the daily readings of the
high-gauge in terms of the daily dis
charge, in cubic feet per second. A
measurement of Bear river at Battle
Creek. made by Mr.. Davis on October
30, gave a. cross section of stream of
462 square feet, mean velocity of
PIP feet per second and a discharge Of
$50 cubic feet per second. At the same
time the scale read 19 feet.

requirements now and will for great
many years to come. The irrigation
system is indeed complete. and no sec
tons of Idaho or any part of the west
ern country is better supplied with wa
ter for farming purposes than is this.
All this comes from the fact that in
the first place the Snake river, from
which these canals are fed, is practi-
cally inexhaustible. and, again, the lay
of the hundreds of square miles Of
land hereabout is susceptible to the
methods of irrigation as is not any
section of the west. Between here and
Lewisville, sixteen miles distant, is one
long stretch of valuable farms, where
but a few years ago the sagebrush and
coyotes held sway Here and there
are seen houses IN process of erection.
They stand out just now bleak and
alone in the midst of the sagebrush.
Next year fruitful acres will surround
them. And so it goes, all over the
vast area of country.

the chief purpose being to determine
the available water power. and Incl
dentally the quantity of water that
can be depended upon for city water
supplies, irrigation, etc. In view of
the universal and vital Importance of
such knowledge, it is remarkable that
the general government has hereto
fore paid so little attention to these
problems.
Approaching the value of this work,
important cooperation is afforded by
some of the water companies and
railroads, and by several public-spir-
lited engineers among whom are Ell

ming, and Professor Samuel Fortier,
of the Utah Agricultural college. This
cooperation materially increases the
amount of work that can be accom-
plished with the small appropriation.
