Some More Rottenness.

The board of county commission
ers at their last session appointed
registration clerks in the different
precincts of the county, but now
we find that in three precincts they
have appointed clerks, who are
democrats and who are non-resi-
dents of the county and up to date
have not opened up the registration
books as the law requires which
should have been done on the 3nd,
What Lincoln county needs is men
of business ability and who will
look after the interest of the tax
payer and not be trying to further
the interests of some political party
at the county's expense. Here is
another sample Of their work.
In Minidoka precinct the man who
was appointed lives on an island in
Snake river eight miles from Mini
doka and in reality is a resident Of
Cassia county, as the main channel
of the river is on this side which
makes him a nonresident and the
books have rot been opened in that
precinct. Why did they not APP
point some one who is resident
Of the county?
In Pagari precinct they ap-
pointed as clerk a lady who came
iown from Boise to attend her.

J In Idaho the number of irrigators
exclusive of Indian reservations,
increased from 1923 in 1896 S,937
in 1899, or 1919 per cent, and the
number of acres irrigated from
217,OO5 to 6O2, ,56S, or 177.7 per
cent. The average value of farm
land per acre was $11.15,of irrigated
land, $31.25. The bitches in opera
ton in 1899 had length of 4,977
miles, cost So, ,116, ,227, and irrigated
6O2,324 acres. There were 224
acres irrigated from wells. The
irrigated area in crops was 5OS, 1873
acres, yielding products valued at
$5,44O, 1862.
Shortly after sending the irriga-
ton bill to the President, Congress
passed a resolution authorizing the
director of the census to compile
statistics relating to irrigation for
the crop year OF 1902. With the
data now assembled, this work will
be comparatively simple, most OF
it being done by correspondence.
To secure this informationinquiries
will be sent out to irrigators
throughout the United States. The
cooperation of those interested in
irrigation is earnestly solicited for
upon their prompt response Will i
depend very largely the value OF
these statistics. This is in part a
supplementary work, the results OF
which will be utilized in the work
'oon to be undertaken by the De
,artment of the Interior under the
Of the irrigation bill. |,

Chosen.

Pursuant to call of the chair.
man of the republican county
central committee of Lincoln county
Idaho, delegates from the different
precincts Of the county met in the
city hall at Hagerman last Satur-
\ day for the purpose of electing five
8delegates to the state convention to
7be held at Boise August Goth and
also to selecta new chairman, secre-
tary and county central committee.
1t was beautiful day and nearly
all precincts were represented, dele
gates from several precincts arrived
in Hagerman the day before the
convention and very enthusiastic
as well as profitable meeting was
had, and a comparison OF reports
showed that the republicans have
made many gains in the county
within the past two years, and the
democrats and populists will have
to hurry ii they do much.
The men chosen to 90 to the
state convention are all men who
have the confidence of all classes of
society and have proven their worth |
to the satisfaction of their party !
and the convention sent their dele
gates to the state convention
uninstructed and were willing to
rely upon their judgment as for
whom they should cast their votes
for candidates to be chosen on the
state ticket. The campaign will
be entered into at once after the
state convention, and no doubt will
be clean one on the republican
side, for we are satisfied that there
will not be candidate on the re-
publidan ticket against whose
record, official or private the least
thing can be brought to blacken it.

cant review of trade conditions and

ment of agriculture. The United King
dom is the principal market for the sur
plus agricultural products of exporting
countries. The report says that the
products of agriculture sent to that
market from all sources in 1900 reached
the enormous value of $1,57S, 00o, 900,
forming 81 per cent Of the entire m
port trade of Great Britain and Ireland.
During the five years mentioned the
annual average value Of the imports
into the United Kingdom was $2,SoS,-
1T4,441, of which 81, ASS, 921, 776, or So per
cent, was agricultural, and $S49, 252,665,
or 81 per cent, non agricultural. To
this extraordinary import trade in ag-
ricultural produce the United States
