Twin Falls Road

A contract has been let by the Short
Line to the Utah Construction CO paay
for the immediate construction Of the
branch line from Minidoka to Twin
Falls City, distance OF about 70 miles,
SAYS the Capital News. The road will
cross the river eight miles above Miner,
some IS miles from Minidoka, and veer-
ing southwesterly will reach Twin Falls
CITY at distance of little over So miles
from the Snake river crossing.
The above facts were given out by ).
II. HAYS, who returned from Twin Falls
Saturday night, where he had been In
attendance at the opening of the lOO,-
600 acre tract. Mr.. Hayes said the Mil
ner dam is almost completed, and that
water will be turned into the main canal
within the next Ave or six weeks. The
canal will be carefully settled and pud-
died during the winter No water for
irrigation purposes will be turned on un-
til spring. 1t lie the intention OF the
company, he said. to have everything in
perfect readiness so that there could be
no possible delay in the spring when the
water will be needed.
The Utah Construction company Is
now unloading material at Minidoka,
with the intention Of beginning actual
work with large force before the end OF
the present week.

ROAD IN BAD SHAPE
State Wagon Road to Roosevelt
Is Pronounced Unfit for
Use by Freighters.

1t has been suggested that those mem-
bers of the state board of examiners who
believe the state wagon road to Roose-
welt is all right and should be paid for
ought to come down 10 Nampa, or go to
Emmett and try to make contract for
freighting goods from Emmett to Roose-
welt, says the Nampa Herald. They
would find that not single freighter
would take contract to haul a pound
of freight over the road farther than
Randall's at any price. The freighters
consider that the road beyond Randall
is too tough for traffic, no matter what
the rate might be, and all merchandise
now going in must be packed from that
point at cents per pound. From EN-
mrtt to Randall's the freighters car
haul over 1000 pounds to the horse, anc
from Randall's TO Roosevelt not more
than 500 pounds. As they are oblige,
to carry in large amount Of feed, the,
are unable to haul enough freight Il
make it pay, even at the price paid t.
packers. Shippers are of the opinion
that road over which pack trains CA
haul freight cheaper than teams fall
considerably short of the public need.
The state appropriated $4,000 70
this road and Nampa companies CAV
$40, 900 more. The sum Of $1,000 is sti
due the contractors and there is a grow
ing conviction that it should be will
held until they bring the road up to col
tract requirements.

IDAHO IS IN LEAD
In irrigation Work, Says Idaho
State Engineer Wayne
Darlington.

State Engineer Darlington. who has
just returned from trip to California
and other western states, is OF the opin-
ion that Idaho is making better pro-
gress in irrigation work than any other
state. Idaho possessed a distinct advan-
tage over her sister states by reason of
her superior water supply, said Mr..
Darlington, and also had an abundance
of rich land susceptible of reclamation.
There was also greater activity in irri-
CATION work in this state than elsewhere.
he added, and the general outlook for
settlement was better.
While he was away Mr.. Darlington
took advantage Of the opportunity to ex-
anime and study the irrigation projects
in other states which he found very in
tercsting. After all. he declared, Idaho
seemed to be the most advanced in this
line of work and would, he thought.
lead for some time to come.

MUST MARK RIGHT
The Law In Regard to Marking
the Ballot as Changed by
Last Legislature.

For the benefit Of those Of the HERALD
readers who are not familiar with the
method of voting in, Idaho, and to ac-
quaint Others with the changes in the
manner Of marking the ballot as adopt
ed by the last legislature, we publish
below synopsis OF the law. At the
head of the party tickets will be placed
an emblem selected by the party. The
emblem at the head of the democratic
ticket will be rooster; at the head OF
the republican ticket, an eagle; and at
the head Of the socialist ticket, hands
clasped around the world. The other
tickets will have no emblem at the head.
The law in regard to marking the ballot
is as follows:
Immediately below the emblem, OF
the space therefor, the CAPTION or name
of the political party must be printed or

his cross opposite the name Of the can

Of any opposing candidate in the ticket
in which he placed his cross (X) in the
large circle. The voter may instead OF
putting a cross in the large circle,
vote only for such candidates as he de-
sires, by placing cross on the right OF
their names in the small circle, or by
writing in the blank ticket the names
of the persons he desires to yot, for and

Beware OF the Locator Who Mas
Inside Information.

Ever since the inception of the govern
ment work looking toward the reclama-
ton OF arid lands by means Of irrigation,
numerous bands of swindlers have been
busily engaged in victimizing home
seekers who are interested in the yari-
Gus reclamation projects undertaken by
the government.
The recent activity of the "locators" in
Oregon and the fact that they are meet
ing in certain degree with success, is
source of great surprise in view of the
numerous warnings issued by federal
officials. It should be clearly under
stood that only relatively small por-
ton of the area ultimately to be irrigat-
ed under the Malheur project is unpat-
ented, and that it Is not possible that
any OF the land under the project can be
watered inside of two years, so that any
homesteader filing on land now will find
il very difficult to comply with the
homestead law. Any such entry on
which the terms of the law are not fully
complied with will be almost certain to
be successfully contested by other set
tiers when the proper time comes tc
take up the land.
1t has heen called to the attention o.
the interior department that for con
sideration Of from $50 to 500 these so
Gators guarantee to place settlers upor
the best irrigable lands unuer the irriga
ton works, while the fact is that th'
government engineers themselves do no
have the final approval of the canal lines
and the stakes marking the lines run 70
estimates will be no indication of tn
line upon which construction will finail
occur.
Settlers who have filings based on tn
information received by these "loca
tors" will not only loose the money pai
out, but are liable later to find the land
are not included In the proposed govern
ment system. When the proper tim
comes for throwing open to entry tn
lands under the Malheur or any othe
of the great irrigation projects, the SEE
retary Of the interior will give due nc
tice through the public press. INT
such announcement il will not be sal
for settlers to locate upon these lands

"California appropriated $25 900 for

We built up our educational exhibit on
nothing but the pluck and energy OF
Miss May Scott, our state superintend-

Sheriff Webb may take the trail again.
