started, near the center OF a tract Of
10000 acres of the Snake river
valley, to be supplied with water
from the same dam at Miner which
supplies the Twin Falls Tract, the

FRIDAY, OCTOBER IL, 1907.

It took exactly fourteen minutes
for the jury to acquit Senator Borah
of the charge of being conspirator
in the land fraud cases now up in
the U. S. court at Boise, and it will
take the U. S. district attorney the
remainder of his life to relieve him
self Of the stigma of having insti-
gated the Indictment charging the
crime to one Of Idaho's most distin-
guished citizens.

That Stone and Timber Act Of
Congress has been the means OF
corrupting more men and causing
more lies to be thoughtlessIy and
carelessly sworn to than any law
we know of. 1t is an almost direct
invitation for men to commit fraud
and for designing men to induce
many poor, innocent persons to do
the same. The sooner Congress can
repeal that act. the better.

An Old Friend

There comes from Peking a
we'll authenticated rumor that
the successor to Sir Chentung
LANG Cheng as minister to Wash
ington will be our old friend, WI
Ting Fang, that genial and ac-
.complished diplomat who often
was the object of mirth butnever
OF ridicule. In all the history Of
diplomatic intercourse between
the two countries China never
sent to the United States an ADLER
representative. A true scholar,
a man OF wide learning and keen
discernment, with a quick wit,
and a sense of humor uneXcelled
by that Of any Yankee, WI did
more to cement a friendly feeling
between America and China than
had been accomplished by all his
predecessors put together.
AS an after-dinner speaker Min
lister WI was peculiarly great;
and what he had to say was al
ways interesting. Sometimes he
made fun OF us, just as we make
fun of the Chinese. More than
once he turned the tables on the
Americans who think our civiliz-
alton is infinitely ahead OF that
OF the howery kingdom. Once he
assured us that China had gov
eminent organized on the same
lines as our own, a republic, more
than four thousand years ago.
TO this day historians are Il little
as to whether Wa was
ioshing US or telling the truth
early Chinese history being still
clothed in obscurity and not yet
to the established hi
storical tests.
The United States will be glad
to welcome Wa Ting Fang back
to his old post in Washington.
He is Il valuable man there for
China. And he is a picturesque
and pleasing figure in Washing
ton society.-Pocatello Tribune.

If the fine weather we are now
enjoying will only continue through
the remainder of the month, the
two stamp mills now under con-
struction here will be able to get in
most of the lumber they will require
and good deal Of their machinery.
A shortage Of freight teams is now
delaying them somewhat. 1t is to
be hoped that they may be able to
get their buildings under cover be-
fore bad weather begins.

With the exception of the Weiser
American, we have not noted a
single paper in Idaho, or elsewhere
for that matter, that has not ex-
pressed pleasure at the result of the
iury's verdict over the trial of
Senator w. E. Borah. The editor
of that paper must have very sour
pickle stuck crosswise in him some
way. He accuses the attorney and
judge sent to Idaho to conduct the
trial, of having been fixed at Wash
ington. The editor of that paper
would make a star writer for the
Appeal TO Reason.

The fine weather during the lat
ter part of last month and so far
this month has been a great boon
to the wheat growers OF the north
west. All OF our exchanges from
the Potlach and Palouse wheat
growing sections, as well as from
southern and southeastern Idaho
are telling OF splendid harvests,
with wheat selling at about sew
enty cents. The farmers of north
ern Idaho and eastern Oregon
are all prosperous, and with the
wool and horse grower OF this
state, have ample reasons for re-
ioicing. This has been a year OF
great abundance.

4 Une Twin L ais tract. A NUMBER
of years ago a little man, full of
energy and with visions of the
possibilities of what might be ac-
complshed by labor and capital,
located himself and family on the
bank OF Snake river, at a pictur-
esque and almost inaccessible
point, surrounded by towering
cliffs Of rock, and planted an
orchard. He chad to let a wagon
down with ropes over the rocks
to get it on the ground. Behind
him, in a gulch, were two beauti-
ful little lakes, whose blue waters
werefed by stream coming from
assures in the rocks, from no one
knows where. With the waters
from these lakes his orchard was
fed and flourished. And when he
had established a home, he began
looking over the country sur
rounding him. His practical
mind soon disclosed to him the
fact that by diverting thewaters
from the river, forty miles further
up, it might be made to cover d
vast area Of thesagebrush plains
on either side of the river and
make them fertile. He rode
many times over the ground and
evolved a scheme to have this
accomplished. He went to Salt
Lake and interested man with
him to help him carry out the
project he had conceived. That
man was acquainted with Penn
sylvania capitalists whom he
succeeded in interesting. To
gether they took up 100000
acres OF land under the Carey
Act, on the south side Of the river,
and made a contract with the
state for its reclamation. That
was only about seven years ago,
and now their contract has been
filled and the land reclaimed and I
settled by one OF the most pros
porous communities of people to
found anywhere. A great dam was
built at Miner and fully 1000 miles
of canals, laterals and ditchss have
carried moisture from the river on
to the lands and made them fertile,
and where erstwhile the sagebrush
grew and the coyote and jack rabbit
found places to roam, there are now
tine farms, orchards, towns, villages,
schools, churches, and all the acces-
series of thrifty and happy homes.
But this is only the beginning Of
what is to be. Prompted and in
spired by this successful undertake
ing, the United States Government
has set aside another like area Of
the Snake river valley, only little
further up the river, at Minidoka,
and is now busy retaining it.
And private parties still further up
the same stream, at American Falls,
at Idaho Falls and in Fremont
county and in O@yhee county, are
retaining other sections, There
are the Big Wood river, the Lost
river and several other Carey Act
projects, too numerous to mention
here, each accomplishing wonders
for southern Idaho. And just across
the river from Owyhee county, in

Chicago, March % The contro-

general managers of western rail-

service cannot be arbitrated and the
only way in which the strike can be
aVerted if for officials of roads to
make terms with the men. ss
This is the ultimatum issued by
representatives Of the two unions In
yolved in the difficulty after meet
ing had been held tonight to consid-
Ter the action of the railroads in
asking the federal government to
intervene and endeavor to bring
about a settlement by mediation
along lines provided by the Erdmann
act. The general managers tonight
for the first time admitted that the
situation was grave: The crisis was
intensified by the fact that no com
promise had been effected with the
representatives of 10000 locomotive
fremen who are here gotiating fol
higher wages and an eight-honr day
