HONOR OUR HEROES.

The memory of our heroic dead
S ever dear 10 the American heart.
Not oil of our war heroes died in
battle. The man, who for love of
country, offered his life but who by
the fortunes of war was doomed to
years of suffering from wounds
and disease is no less hero than
had his offering been consumated
on the field of battle. To patiently
endure pain and suffering, poverty
and distress; to struggle through
life in competition with those
whose superior powers rest in so
large a measure on the larger OPP
portunities afforded by the sacrifice
made by the veteran of the blue
uniform and little bronze button,
requires an heroic soul.
So when the day arrives, lay
aside business and pleasure for a
day and with uncovered heads do
honor to the memory of those he
roic dead to whose sacrifice you
owe the fact that you have home
and business under the profec-
ton of this mighty Republic.
Shoshone will offer the follow
ing program i'm honor Of the ocea-
sion at the opera house.

Idaho Irrigation Company Enters Into Contract with the Stat
Open 4O82l Acres OF Carey Act Lands---New Town of
Alberta to be Opened at Same Time.


The Idaho / rigation company
has entered into contract with
the State Land board for the open
ing of the lands under the com
pany's ditch which will cover the
Marley Burn. This contract pro-
vides for the opening OF 4O,S21
acres of Carey act lands lying east
of Big Wood river and reaching to
the tracks of the HALEY branch of
the Short Line railway. The date
of the opening has been set for
June "a, about seven weeks away.
Land Already Cleared of Sage
1t is we'll known that where sage
brush grows the soil is unsur-
passed. On this particular tract
of land the sage originally grew 50
rank rs t i, attract special attention
to that section. A rancher named
Marley, wishing to make a clear
ing, set fire to the sage which, on
account of its rank growth, burned
far beyond his expectations, and as
a result some $4,000 acres OF land
was barred OF the brush.
Th t fire. however, is great adj
vantage just now to the settler un-
der the new ditch asethe land is
already to pillow and the expense of
clearing the sage has been re-
moved. This alone saves the set
tier an expense OF some S. per acre
in the cost OF clearing the land.
Water Supply.
To the settler on desert lands the
question of permanent and abun-
liant water supply is all impor-
tant. In this respect this project
is unsurpassed by any in the west.
The basins of the Big Wood river
and the Malad river embrace an
area of 1850 square miles, and in
these basins are found the highest
of Idaho, with a snow /
ALI that is phenomenal. the record |
or last winter being 120 inches on
he level. Shortly below where
hese two rivers unite this COM
,any has erected o great dam form
ng a reservoir which has a capac-
ty of 100000 acre feet. The nat
lral flow Of these rivers will furnish
efficient water for irrigation until
he middle OF July and after that
nne there still remains the great
eservoir filled with the flood wa
ers. "A
The construction of the works in :

After q six months inspection
trip, covering 10000 miles of rail-
way travel, the head of the United
States Bureau of Forestry has re-
turned to Washington to sound a
loud note of alarm. In his opinion
the timber supply will only last
twenty years at the present rate of
cutting. The manufacturers, who
use hickory and pine, the railr DAD
companies, the paper makers and
other manufacturers and users of
timber unite in the same chorus {:
The timber of the United States is

is little doubt that it is hard to

Farmers have had ten years of
good crops and good prices. In
most of these years they have had
both. Deficiencies in one corn
and one cotton crop were more
than made good to them by high
prices. Last year they took In
more money than ever before, and
this year they are likely to take in
81 ZOO, 900, 900 more than they did
last year. They will buy freely
many sorts of merchandise and
they will have money to invest.

as it can be for another year, prov

A bad track or reading rails
caused the wreck of No. 20 on the
Wabash near Thompson on S,lt-
urday, Oot.. Goth. Spreading rails
are usually caused by yotten ties
and loose spikes in the rails.
Suoh condition should not be
allowed to continue. That there
are many rotten ties and loose
spikes on the Wabash track oan
be seen by any one, who will walk
q mile or 30 on this road and take
notice. When such conditions are
allowed to exist by . railroad
Co. they have no right TO complain
if they are assessed heavy dam
ages by the courts when accidents
happen which cause loss oflife.

The claim made by some that

Challenge From Dave Ball.


Democratic politicians agree
that Champ Clark is the strongest
man that their party oan nominate
for Governor, and they are trying
hasd to get him into the race. Mu.
Dave Ball, of Pike County is the
obstacle In the way of Clarks run
ming, for he 10 unwilling to an
tagonize Ball, who has been HIS
personal and political friend foz
yesrs. Mr.. Ball knows that his
name has been used by some Of
the Clark enthusiasts, and doe
not feel comfortable under the
discussion Of his relation to CLARK.
Speaking of the matter the other
day he said to the editor of the
Observation-Disclosures: "I will get
out of the way cheerfully and aid
in nominating Champ Clark If ell
the other democratic candidate g
will withdraw. am for Clark for
Congress and Clark is for me for
Governor. We understand each
other. Now, If CLARK is the man
TO- nominate for Governor, and If
ne Is willing to take the nomina =
tion, 1t can be easily arranged.
Let all other candidates withdraw
with me and we will nominate
Clark"
Mr.. Balls challenge ought to
put quietus on the talk of Clark
for Governor, or it ought to be
accepted If the other fellows are
made to believe that Clark is the
strongest man. With Clark sup
porting Ball the candidacy of the
Pike County man will be stronger
than his opponents have figured
it. Cowherd, who is now the lead
ing candidate, is not as strong as
Ball in the counties where the
largest Democratic voto will be
polled at the August primary.
Oowherd will lead in Kansas City
and st. Joseph and will carry St..
Louis if Crow does not become q
candidate. Ball cannot carry st..
Louis-will probably get fewer
votes there than Cowherd. Ball
is strong in the rural strongholds
of the democracy. He is not an
tagonized seriously by the Folk
Democrats and is popular with
the majority of the "old-liners"
He Is making vigorous canvass
now, though he has not yet filed
nomination papers. - Watchman
Advocate.
