heard up the river but no one could
learn just where or who we're engaged.
Next morning some friendly Moros
brought in a wounded native and in
formed us that Ali had attacked a COM
pany of scouts some six miles up the
river and wounded five We started
for the scene at 2:3O reaching there at
dark in binding rain. We then learn
that two companies Of the 18th Infantry
had at noon found Ali in camp and
put him to flight with none killed or
wounded on the American side but the
finding OF blood in Ali's camp showed
he had several wounded The scouts
had killed two the night before but as
Moros generally carry all dead and
wounded away when they retreat we
had no way of knowing the extent of
the nights encounter. 1t was reported
later that II were killed of Ali's forces
and quite a number wounded
! We camped with the scouts for the
night. Next day we started for the
scene Of the last Scrap. During the
march we saw native watching US
from tree off to the right. We want
ed to shoot him out but they wouldn't
let US, 80 the officer in command sent
the interpreter to see who he was. The
report brought back was that he was
"Datto Piaugs wife and boy looking to
looking to see if they could Ali's force. :"
We afterwards learned that he had his
wounded at this place. At noon we
went into camp at a point near where
Ali had been driven the day before.
Here we stayed and reconnoitered for
two days The 3rd day we returned tc
Cuderaugau where we stayed until Aug
Is when we were relieved by the scouts
and proceeded to take station at this
point. We reached here at 7:3O pm. the
next day. We went into permanent
camp and must say we have had our
troubles since. Our effects were ship
ped here two days ahead of us, and
placed on the dock. The dock went un
der, and so did our stuff.
Many of you may think it strange
that so few are killed in the skirmishe
, if you can call them such. Our gun
are made to wound more than to kill
and Moro, like a cat, seems to hav

for seeding purposes here, said Mr.. Hor-
rie and that demand would continue
Again, Mr.. Horric said, the demand
for seed in California was large, while
the demand for seed for new lands else
where was constantly growing The
field in which this seed can be grown,
he said, was limited. California relied
upon other places for its supply, and the
practical production of seed was con-
fined to Idaho, Utah, part OF Colorado
and other small areas elsewhere. Con-
seguently, alfalfa seed, Mr.. Horrie de-
clared, would always be highly profitable
here. Farmers about Parma had been
making from s75 to 800 an acre on the
seed after harvesting crop of hay, and
wherever the grass was grown in this
section crops almost if not quite as good
could be secured"

Serious accident.

George f. Rawson who lives about
seven miles east Of Nampa, on Mason
creek, suffered the loss Of his right eye
and the largest portion OF his right hand
Sunday BY an explosion of dynamite.
He was about to set out some trees
and in order TO break the hard pan
through which it was necessary to 90 he
was thawing out somc dynamite. He
held six sticks Of the explosive in his
right hand in the kitchen when the fuse
became ignited from the stove. As soon
as it ignited he started out OF doors with
it. just as he got outside the house he
stumbled and fell, and simultaneously
the dynamite exploded with the result
above noted. The explosion tore his
hat into fragments and had he not fell
his head would no doubt have been
blown into atoms.
The explosion was heard by neishbors
living mile away. The residence was
badly shattered. Every window in the
house was broken, the doors torn OFF of
tie hinges and great holes in the siding
of the house made.
The unfortunate n1an wes taken to

and portions OF his hand amputated.
He was an expert in the use OF dyna-
mite, having been engaged for years in

recent very exhaustive examination
by the state engineer Of Idaho shows
that there are now in cultivation in the
Boise valley l0l 900 acres of land. This
includes the lands on the first bottom Of
the river that are partially sub-irrigated.
OF the balance OF the lands in the val
l4y, large proportion have compara-
lively short season water supply, and
the feeling among the holders of these
lands is practically universal in favor of
government reclamation in order that
the abundant supply Of the early part OF
the season may be supplemented by a
late reservoir supply.
The development Of the valley
through the agency OF private enterprise
seems to have practically reached is
limit. The natural flow of the river dur
ing the latter part Of the irrigating sea-
son is exhausted, and any project for in
creasing this supply on comprehensive
scale is entirely beyond the reach Of
private enterprise or community effort,
and the alternative is presented with
either being contented with the present
development or Of cooperating with the
government through the agency Of the
reclamation act.

valleys proposed to be reclaimed lie al
