Alfalfa is King.

Elko county, Nevada, has W it-
messed wonderful change in farm
conditions, A few years apo there
was hardly farm in the county
but what was heavily mortgaged
Today these mortgages have all
been paid of and tho farmers are
ont Of debt and consequently hap
Ply. 1t used to DO the cuetom OF
farmers in that vicinity to raise
grain, etc. for the surrounding sill
YER mines but when silver was de-
monetized aud that business ruin
ed, they turned their attention ia
alfalfa and converted their farms
into immens alfalfa fields, bought
cattle and stock and today it is be-
loved there is not mortgage
against a farmer in that county.
This is certainly romarkablo aud
this is perhaps the only county in
the United States that can make
such a boast.
Alfalfa is thegreatest Of all for.
age plants aud what it has done
for Elko county it will do for Can.
yon county for there 10 40 country
in the world whore alfllfa thrives
as well as it does in Idaho. We
would suggest that our farmers
pay more attention to the raising
of it as it viii certainly repay
double fold any care ana attention
given to its growth and prove moro
profitable than othor kinds of farm
ing Lender.
The above should be exceedingly
encouraging to the Payatte valley

lead in the amount grown per acre

A Question.
The papers in general are com
menting at length on the sad fate
OF Theodore Durrant who was con
yicted in the courts Of California
and hanged for the murder Of
Minnie Williams and Blanche La
mont. IL is claimed now that a
few days ago, on his death bed,
Rev. Gibson, who at the time was
pastor Of Emanuel church where
one Of the murders was committed,
confesses that he killed both Of the
victims. He was an active and i'm
portaut witness at the trial Of poor
Durrant, the reason for which is
quite pin, and also in view Of the
fact that suspicion was strongly di-
rected to him at the time
Thursdays Statesman claims
that some country paper started
the yarn and that there is not a
word Of truth in it, but gives no
authority for such a statement.
We have often found the States
man not moro reliable than some
country publication and with the
circumstantial evidence that sur
rounded the case there is a bare
possibility Of such an outcome.
Las, week the senate passed n
bill appropriating 100000 and
providing for the construction,
maintenance and operation under
the management Of the navy de
partmeut Of Pacific cable. The
cable is to be constructed from
San Francisco to Honolulu. 1t is
surprising that the present CON
gross should take such action but
it seems a step in the right direc-
ton to test government ownership.
A new postolhce rule has just
gone into effect, imposing a fine of
$500 or one years imprisonment,
on any one who through careless
ness or otherwise takes mail not be-
longing to themselves from the
postotice and fails to return it at
once. This applies to newspapers,
RS we'll as letters and other valuable
mail People wien taking their
mail from the Office should examine
it before going out of the building.

it was the postmaster's fault will

What 10 do Until the Doctor Arrives.

1t is very hard to stand idly by and
see our dear ones suffer while await
ing the arrival Of the doctor. An Al
bany On. " dairyman called at a drug
store there for a doctor to come and
see his child, then very sick with
Group. Not finding the doctor in, he
left word for him to came at once on
his return. He also bought a bottle Of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, which
he hoped would give some relief until
the doctor should arrive. In a few
hours he returned saying the doctor
need not come, as the child was much
better. The druggist, Mr. Otto Scholz,
says the family has since recommended
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to their
neighbors and friends until he has a
constant demand for it from that part
Of the country. For sale by Jno.
