Then, fidelity to self, joy in life,

Suffering aud sacrifice, too, must put

CLOSING EXERCISES.
The record of the past scholastic

important place in the history Of
education. With success browning

it ought to be, and must be. He Is

dent on 2S-Hour Law.

Four hundred sheepmen from every
part of the state are gathered at
weiser, in attendance upon the two
DAYS session of the Idaho Woolgrow-
ers' association, which convened at
IL o'clock this morning in the Knights
of Pythias hall, with President Fred

known in the history of the organiza-
ton. Many matters of vital import
ance to the woolgrowing industry Will
come up before the association for
discussion, and the convention prom
ises to be the most important in the
history of sheep raising in the west.
The report of the credentials COM
mittee was adopted, seating $50 dele
gate. Following the adoption Of this
report the convention took up dis
cussion of the dipping laws as passed
by the last session of the state legis-
lature. There were many speeches
both pro and con, and at times the
discussion waxed warm and animat-
ed.
A. G. Rutterfleld Of Weiser, read an
able paper defining his position as
opposed to fall dipping. After dis
cussion the matter was held In abey-
ance until the arrival of DR.. Hickok
of Salt Lake, who is in charge Of the
bureau of animal industry in the
west.
The matter OF securing an amend
ment to the 2S-hour shipping law, ex-
tending 1t to 36 hours by act of con-
gress. was discussed at considerable

On motion the chair was empow-
cred to appoint a committee of three

committee with power to name two

Brief Record Of County
r vents Special Correspondence
AINSwoRTH A HooDoo.
New Town is Springing Up on Site Of
Two Former Failures.

"Ainsworth" as a name for a town
in Washington has been a hoodoo, IL
past history serves as a correct cri-
terion, but who knows that by pre-
fixing the little word New" that
hoodoo may be broken. says the Wall
la Walla Union.
Twice In the historic cycles of the
state of Washington Ainsworth has
marked the site of municipal uncer-
tainty. The first time occurred when
a small townsite was laid out on the
south side of Snake river near its
junction with the mighty Columbia
The second was on the opposite side
of Snake river, but the third effort
to perpetuate the name has just been
made and the townsite of New Aims
worth has been plated and includes
the first effort on the south side of
the Snake river.
The land, consisting of 100 acres,
is ostensibly the property of G. w.
Rounds, but it is under the big Two
Rivers ditch, and 1t has been hinted
that the irrigation company is largely
interested In the promotion of the
new town.
This idea Is given color by the re-
port that there is some differences
existing between the Two Rivers
Townsite company and the company
owning the big irrigation scheme, and
that the latter are directing a blow
at the aspiring burg by encouraging
rival.
New Ainsworth, as the new town.
site is called, Is not lacking in rail-
road prospects. for the Northern Pa
cific line from Pasco to Wallula now
passes directly through it, and within
the past two weeks two crews of sur
veyors have deigned to set lines OF
stakes into the proposed town, and
right up to the bank of the river.
One of the crews is known to have
been in the employ of the o. r. & N,
which set stakes for branch that
leaves the main line at the station OF
Humorist. The other crew is said to
have been in the employ of the Chica-
go, Milwaukee & st. Paul and came
from up the Snake river in the search
of a route to the Sound.

The month just past has broken all
records In the way of cash distribu-
tions among the farmers of Idaho
and Utah. During the past month
the various sugar factories, whose
headquarters are in Salt Lake and Og-
den paid off the farmers for all beets
delivered.
From closest estimates possible to
obtain It is understood that the
amount of beets delivered at Lehi,
Provo. Spanish Fork, Springville. og-
den, Logan, Lewiston, Garland, Sugar
City, Idaho Falls and Blackfoot, ap-
proximated 100000 TONS which at
$3.50 per ton put the neat sum of ST.
350,O0O into the pockets of the farm
ers, says the Deseret News.
Something like another 100, 900 tons
of beets will be delivered before the
campaign has ended, and these will
be paid for on December Is.
To take care of the disbursement
OF this sum of money and to see that
it reached the farmers with all speed,
called for the most active exertion on
the part of the sugar officials and the
working forces in the various offices
The gathering of so large a sum Of
money also required some heavy ship
ments of currency and gold to and
from Salt Lake.
The Utah and Idaho companies do
their banking in Salt Lake with Nc
Cormick & Co., State Bank of Utah.
Deseret National Bank, and the Utah
National Bank and the Amalgamated
company bank with the First National
of Ogden. The factories pay off the
farmers and their laborers by drawing
on the local banks.
Nearly all the local banks draw
their currency supplies from Salt
Lake, so that the drain on city banks
has been quite heavy during the week.
As the money goes from the farmers
to the various dealers in merchan-
disc in Salt Lake and Ogden, however
It is only a question of a short time
before it reaches the banks again
though in the circulation process q
good share of the cash is retained by
the farmers for their share of tht
years operations.
These sums of money, large as they
are, are by no means all that Is dis
tributed. Each factory has a pay rol
of from $4,000 to $4,000 a month
and each one pays out large sums fol
coal, coke, lumber, rock. chemica
supplies, and freight, the railroad
alone receiving enormous sums fo
hauling the beets in and the suga
out. while the campaign is on an'
! long after.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-12-13

When 1t is remembered that few
years back all this activity was un-
known, and that instead of receiving
money from the outside for sugar,
Utah and Idaho were sending away
great sums annually for the sugar
their people consumed, one gains a
small idea of the importance to the
west Of the sugar. beet industry.

Bought Cheap Land.

One hundred and sixty acres lying
on the hills this side OF Wallula and
known as the old Howard ranch, was
sold at sheriff's sale this afternoon to
Sam Ash of wallula for $500, says the
walla Walla Statesman. Claims
against the ranch. arising through
foreclosure proceedings amounted to
nearly $4,000, so creditors will receive
about rs cents on the dollar as a re-
suit of today's sale. Years ago the
land was capable OF raising 25 bushels
to the acre, but the place has not been
farmed for a long time.
