at Nampa, and the growth of that
place is wonderful. The sugar fac
tory there is something grand, that
and their increased water supply
for irrigation will furnish homes
for many, and it has all been done
through the organization of the
people. 1t seems to me a shame
for us to be situated as we are in
Long valley with land that can be
made to produce the same, practic-
ally speaking, as they do in our
neighboring valley, and to be SO
near to and yet receive no benefit
from the factories.
Development seems to be point
ing our way, but we must not wait
for it to come on it's own account.
We must help to bring it up and
demonstrate that efforts along this
line are sure of big rewards.

TO RAISE GOOD HORSES
A Good Sire is Necessary-.The Best
Sire is Cromwell of WOrsley.

Do you raise horses? If not, why
not? The horse of gold is the draft
horse, always in demand, and as
prices of the drafter are soaring up
ward you should wake up to the
situation and take advantage Of 1t.
You can raise a good horse as
cheaply as a common cayuse, and
when you want to sell you can find
a market. You have in Long val
ley rare opportunity to raise draft
horses. The Long Valley Shire
Association has got the Sire, a
handsome Black Imported Shire
with action, bone, size and quality,
tO-wit:
Cromwell of Worsley, X213O3,
bred by the Earl of Ellsmere; sire
Insurgent 1868, by Ringleader
11S,O99; dame Lady Lincoln IS, 446.
Cromwell was foaled in 1902, and
was imported by A. Fanson q Son
of Danville, ILL.,, in September, 1904.
He is solid black, broad-breasted,
square-quartered, 16 hands, and
weighs 1900 lbs.
Cromwell will for the season of
1906 stand at J. w. McLaughlin's
ranch, Van Wyck, Center, and
Roseberry. Terms: $25 to insure
mare in foal
Try for our 800 premium which
will be given for best three colts in

regardless Of age. LIST premium $50,

A Strong Recommend

Speaking of the location of A. B.
Lucas in our town, his old home
paper in South Dakota says: "His
removal to Idaho gives that state a
man who is absolutely honest and
fearless and one who will under all
circumstances do that which he
thinks is right. A. B. Lucas is a
man who will make his personality
felt IN any community in which he
lives. He is public spirited, pro-
gressive, persistent. He is broad
minded, liberal and talented. He
believes in doing things, and he
does them. There will never come
a political convention or meeting of
"old timers" to "boom" things in
this county at,which some one will
not say, 81 wish Briney Lucas was
here" And so say we all. The News
sends him it's blessing and best
wishes. Meadows Eagle.

ORGANIZATION NEEDED
To Bring Long Valley to The Front
Says This Writer.
Vanwyck, March q, 1906.

Dear Sir:-In one of your late ed
itions of THE ADVOCATE you spoke
of the necessity of us having some
kind of an organization to more eff
fectively advertise the resources Of
our community and to get oul
share of the homeseekers that an
nually come west seeking homes
and investments. / do not mean
for you to bear the burden alone
believe that you are doing all that
is within your power, and with the
resources at hand / think that you
have accomplished all that liber-
al-minded person could expect. But
/ do believe that there are people
in this county who have failed tc
help when there was a chance. II
was when the Capital News issued
its midwinter edition. | have not
looked over it yet but have been
told that Long valley was left out
of the write-up entirely. (Not So
Long valley was very favorably
mentioned, quite as much space be-
ing given to it as is usual without
charge. Ed. If we at the time OF
this write-up had been organized
with an up-to-date secretary, we
would have had a great deal of adj
vertising matter before the people
in and out of the state, but as it is
we are just a year behind and can
not expect the number of new set
tiers that would have been ours had
we not been overlooked. This
should teach us lesson, that if we
are going to be looked after we must
do it ourselves.

was talking the matter over regard
ing the possibility of getting an or
ganization started. In the party
were some of the leading men of our
community, and while the CONVEX
sation was more of idleness and lest
than anything else, one could see
that there was some very favorable
remarks made for it.
If we had a permanent organic
alton with a bureau of information
and money enough to do some adj
vertising and attend to communi-
cations, we could do some good. |
do not mean to start real estate
agency, but of course there might
be some who would like to sell land
and it would be we'll enough for
them to use the Influence gained
through the organization to effect a
sale. 1t would help to pay expen-
ses, and we could safely say that
every real estate sale made through
such agency would be another set
tier gained.
The time has come when some
thing must be done toward furnish
ing the present population and
those we are expecting something
to do, for we know that idleness is

ONLY HOPE OF STOPPING HEAVY
ARMAMENT OF NATIONS, LIES
IN THIS DIRECTION.
GUARANTt E EACH 9TH ?
AGAINST Attack BY Any Other two
Powers-Henry Vvian's Motion
Meets With Approval Of
Government.

ondon, May 9.-In the house of
-onmons this evening Henry Vivian,
4 laborite, moved a resolution calling
on the government TO take dastic steps
TO reduce the expenditure for arma-
ments and to press for an inclusion of
the question of armament reduction
by interna'iona agreement in The
Hague conference.
Carlyon Wilfroy Bellairs, a liberal,
in moving the amendment. said 1t was
inadvisable TO initiate the discussion
concerning the armament which for
eign powers deemed necessary for the
defense Of their territories. He said
the only hope of stopping the pre- -ent
made race was in an Anglo-American
alliance. These two powers. Bellairs
said. could guarantee each other
against attack by any two powers and
both could reduce armament. Former
Premier Belfour said peace in Europe
and the success of British diplomacy
depended on the necessary military
and Naval backing.
Sir Edward Grey. foreign eecrtsry
said he believed A declaration. such as
contained in Vivian's motion. was
worth having for the effect 1t might
have on other nations. There was q
growing disposition In other countries
the foreign secretary said. for some
reduction. He thought the question
should be discussed at The Hague;
but it would depend on the responses
of other nations. The government vel
coined the motion. He hoped other ma
tons would regard ii as an invitation
from the British house Of commons
TO respond to their feelings in the
matter.
The motion was agreed to. II is said
