GRANGEVILLE, March 2O.-After a
number of reports that were predicated
mostly on the probability of their be-
ing SO, the Jumbo power plant in the
Hump was finally started to work Mon
day. 1t is found to work like a charm.
The plant was practically ready for op-
GRAFTON several weeks ago. On putting
in lace of the proper main drive pull
ley of 1900 pound weight, a pulley
three times that size and of the wrong
diameter had been sent. The discrep-
ancy was not detected until the plant
was almost ready. The offending piece
of iron had to be freighted back to civ
ilization, and the right one ordered and
brought n. The cost to the company
was in the neighborhood of $500. be
sides the delay of several weeks.
The Idaho Tea company is now run
ming under the management of Ned
Meyer and Bert Thomas. Mr.. Meyer
expects to take the outside territory,
and push business in neighboring
towns. Both men are experienced in
the business, and will run the institu-
ton in a business like way. Mr.. Sui
livan who has had charge of the busi-
ness will go from here to Palouse,
where he expects to locate. If things
are not to his liking in Palouse he will
go on to Spokane.

TO HAVE
MODEL FARM
Idaho Will Have an Experiment
Station Located at Twin
Falls.

ROISE. March 2O.-Idaho is to have
a model farm where farming will be
engaged in by the general government,
cooperating with the state. The gen.
eral plan was agreed upon in Salt Lake
the first of the week, when State En-
pineer James Stephenson was called
in consultation with Elwood Mead,
chief OF drainage and irrigation for the
government reclamation department
The state engineer returned to Boise
Yesterday morning, well pleased with
the result Of his visit. The problem of
how much water is actually required
to grow and ripen certain crops has
never been settled in this section. One
farmer claims one figure and another a
differet one. Neither has the most eco
nomical way of using water been de-
cided, whether by flooding or by small
bitches. In order to learn something
reliable on what Mr.. Mead calls the
DUTY of Water" important expert
ments are to be made.
Through the cooperation OF the
Twin Falls Land and Irrigation COM
pany, tract of so acres has been Sc
cured and the company will furnish
free all the water that may be desired
The farm will be divided into eight
1O-acr fields, each field to be treated
differently. Crops Of all kinds will be
grown, and all the different methods of
applying water will be tested. Care
full measurements of the water used on
each field will be made frequently so
that at every stage of growth the
amount of water used will be known
The result Of this investigation. on ac-
count of the ca. that will be given to
the use of the water under all condi-
tions and to the keeping of the records
by experts. it is expected the knowl-
edge gained will be of great value to
every resident of the arid belt.
The reclamation department will fur
nish the sed and will begin work on
the scientific farm as soon as the
water is available. 1t will probably be
located near Twin Falls city on ac-
count of convenience for those en-
gagged in the work as well as for those
who desire to VISIT he farm during the
summer. Government experts from the
agricultural department are likely to
be placed in charge of the agricultural
features, but the measurements of watt
er will be under Mr.. Mead and the
state engineer
Mr.. Stephenson said he met G. l..
Swenson. district engineer for Utah i'm
the reclamation service. and the gov
ernment Bear river project was talked
over. This project is a large one. but
SO many obstacles are found that it
will take a long time to overcome them.
Mr. Swenson, he found. was a most
agreeable gentleman, disposed to take
reasonable view of matters with no
desire to run counter to the wishes of
the public.
1t was arranged with Mr. Mead for
'he government to furnish a man to
make Investigations along the Malad
and Wood rivers during the summer to
OBTAIN measurements of the food wat
ers' low water and general conditions.

BOISE. March 20.-A new applica-

to the penitentiary for four years and

ST. PAUL ROAD

via Lewiston.

PORTLAND, Ore, March 20.-It is
reported from Chamberlain, S. D., the
present western terminus of the Chi
cago Milwaukee & st. Paul road, thet
the order has been issued from Presi-
dent Earling to begin construction of
300 miles OF road toward the Pacific
coast and that a number of large
gangs of graders will be at work with
in few days on the right Of way, sur
veys of which have been completed for
some time.
This move has ben daily expected
since franchises We're secured by the
company for crossing the Missouri
river at Chamberlain. as reported in
the public press some weeks ago The
Milwaukees action is said to result di-
rectly from the final decision given
last week by the United States su-
preme court in the Northern Securities
case. Up to that time the Rockefeller
interests, which are behind the Mil
waukee road, had hoped that the de-
'lsioH NouIu 81 " Ill WHICH
EVENT. hey would be able to make an
alignment with the Northern Pacific
in which the Milwaukee and Burlington
would share on terms of equality the
immense freight and passenger traffic
that is expected to originate in the
Pacific northwest territory in the next
decade. But the decision has placed
the entire northwest country in the
hands of Hill and the Great Northern
and it's associated roads now absolute
ly control the situation
While it has long been the intention
of those in control of the Milwaukee
to build to oPrtland and the sound,
plans might have laid in abeyance
some years more had the merger de-
cision been different.
No time is to be lost by President
Earring in reaching the Pacific. His
arrangements are much further along
than most people would have believed.
He has been working several years to
perfect arrangements for this move.
The route is already practically set
tied upon for the entire distance and
it contemplates Portland for the Pa
cific coast terminal for the main line.
The sound will be an important factor.
and branch lines will tap Tacoma Sc
attic and Bellingham. 1t is said the
northerly terminal. and one of the most
important from a freight consideration.
will be at Bellingham. A. w. Nc
kenna, assistant to President Earling,
who was in oPrtland recently also
visited the sound cities. and made a
careful examination of Bellingham
with view to terminal facilities. II
is sad he was very favorably impressed
there
The route of the Milwaukee from
Chamberlain will be via the Black Hills
to which point the road will be COM
plefed this year. From there ii will
push on to Butte, and from that point
IT will seek the shortest possible way
through the mountains to the valley of
the Snake river. This route will un-
doubtedly be through the Lolo pass
and down to the north fork of the
Clearwater, thence on a water grade
following the Snake and Columbia riv-
ers to Portland
From Butte line may also be run
through the practically unexplored
section of Idaho to Boise

Short Chats with Our
Advertisers-No. 10.
The Increasing Value Of a
Customer.

1t will pay the retail adver-
tiser to bear in mind the fact
that newspaper advertising Is
not only for the purpose of fore
ing the sale Of certain lines of
goods, but that its prime object
is to bring new customers to
the store.
The enterprising merchant,
when figuring up his cost and re-
suit table at the end of the year.
usually has some means of estl-
mating the approximate cost OF
th- additional patronage brought
to his store by local advertising.
BY a little figuring he is able to
come some where near the cost
OF each new patron.
Having secured the new GUS
toner by paying a certain price.
it now lies within the power of
thu merchant to make much or
little of him. Through the en-
pIoyment of " ell devised methods
the value of said customer may
be increased by many times his
original cost. After his regular
trade has been secured, he may
be continually dosed with GER
tain stimulants so that his pur-
chasing appetite. so to speak,
may be invigoratei. These slim
ulants are given in the form of a
particular kind of advertising,
and thic iucre1 sod annette, ic the
created desire to possess the
goods the merchant wishes to
sell.
The method of advertising used
to accomplish the above result
may be termed the "parcel-inclo-
sure"
Any advertising matter placed
within "A package or purchase is
sure to be read by the customer.
II" will read it at the time he is
most when he opens
his parcel. Being pleased with
and perhaps proud of his new
possession, his confidence has
been won. and while the effect is
fresh upon him, additional inter-
est and enthusiasm may bc read
idy stirred by the announcement
of future offerings.
The reasonable cost of cirCu-
las ard other suitable advertise
ing matter makes the investment
of slight consequence when COM
pared with results.
