Big Fill Completed o. High Line Neal
Aberdeen.

Work on the big fill, on the high line
canal, near Aberdeen. with the excep-
ton of three runways which will require
not more than three days work with
slips, was completed Saturday Mon
day camp was removed to within six
miles of American Falls, and work on
the lower end Of the canal will be prose
cuted as long rs the weather will per-
NIT.
The work at camp - WAS completed
three weeks earlier than the engineer
estimated it would be. which is very
flattering to Mr.. Hardy. who has been
in .harge of the work.

discharged with great force through the
outlet by what might be called pneu-
matic-hydraulie pressure.
Aside from the main wheel itself.
which revolves in rigid and solid
framework, there is no movable part to
get out of repair, and not valve to
become worn or leaky. The points that
especially recommend it are its great
efficiency and extreme simplicity. The
uses of a water lift of the kind are too
many and apparent to need discussion
here. This invention is not an expert
ment but a practical success, and we
believe its superiority will cause it to
be generally adopted. 1t can be made
in any size and placed in either running
or stiiif water. In the latter ease an
outside force would be required to drive
it. The one in operation at Mr.. Cav
lor's ranch which, by the way. is the
first one ever built-was seen by a re-
preventative of this paper couple of
days ago. Two weeks had passed since
it was put in and il had never stopped
five minutes in that time. II was rails
ing as gallons per revolution to a
height of 25 feet, and seemed to have
immense reserve power. The water
being raised would irrigate more than
loo acres of land. and it was not run
ming at anywhere near its capacity. Its
usefulness may be shown by the state
nent that not foot of the land could
ever be brought under gravity ditch.
Here are the points that will make

FOR INDEPENDENT DISTRICT.
Petitions Out Asking Commissioners to
Call Special Election.

A petition asking for the calling of
an election to vote on the question
of making the American Falls
school district an independent dis
trict has been drafted and is at Oliver
& Mekown's store, where those desir-
ing to sign il are requested to cali. The
Press would urge every taxpayer to ap-
pend his signature to the petition. I'm
less this becomes AN independent dis
trict, and all the money paid for school
purposes is kept here. an increased levy
for school purposes is inevitable A like
petition will be found at the Evans
Mercantile Company's store.
The school moneys raised in common
school districts are paid into common
fund and prorated to the several dis
tricts according to the number of child
rem in the districts. Hence a $50. 900
business block here contributes to the
support of the schools of the entire
county. Thus American Falls pays
much more into the school fund than it
gets back. This district is now facing
the problem of increased school rooms.
The district is now renting one room.
and in another year m additional room
may be needed. How. except by iss0-
ing bonds and burdening the people. is
this to be avoided II we continue to pay

outer surface are fastened longitudinal
paddles, making total diameter of 10
feet. The whole is supported and
fioated on pontoon contriyance, the
paddles catching the current of the
river and supplying power on the simple
principal of an under-shot water wheel.
When the Record man saw it, it was
drawing about two feet of water but
can be adjusted TO any depth.
The center around the axis is simply
a hollow core and has no part in the
work of the lift. Between this core and
the outer surface of the drum is a
spiral water channel extending longitud-
inaily thereof. This channel has an
open mouth or intake at one end, ex-
tending slightly beyound the outer di-
ameter of the drum, and so arranged
that it faces in the direction of rotation

Dry Farming Next 10 Claim Serieu,
Atten4ioa.

Irrigation has been the slogan of
prophets of prosperity for many years
and results in southern Idaho. where an
empire has veen carved out of the des-
ert. are beyond the brightest dreams of
the promoters.
These were the words of prominent
resident Of the southeastern part of the
state who was visiting in the city last
evening. Continuing he said
"The irrigated lands will soon all be
taken, but Idaho will not stop growing
then. Irrigation is only the beginning
of greater Idaho. Where irrigation
leaves off the dry farmer will begin and
the future is almost as bright for the
latter as the former. A thorough und-
crstanding Of the soil and climate, with
improved methods of cultivation now be-
ing adopted will make southern Idaho
one of the greatest wheat growing
states in the union.
while wheat promises to be the
main crop Of the dry farmer, potatoes
will come in as an important crop. Num-
erous tests have proved that better
potato than can be grown in the rain
belt is produced on our dry lands and the
yield s so large as to insure handsome
margin of profit. Thousands of acres
now producing only sage brush, coyotes
and jack rabbits will soon he transform
ed into well titled farms dotted with
happy. prosperous homes. There is little
waste land left in Oneida, and the coun-
ties Of Fremont, Bingham. and Bannock
are rapidly filling up with farmers who
will raise big crops without irrigation.
Idaho has been growing, but | predict
the next three years will eclipse any
Ave that have preceded in the growth
and development Of agriculture in this
productive section. Few people realize

MEETING OF LEAGUE
COMMERCIAL CLUBS
Plans Being Made to Advertise
Resources Of Idaho.
Proposed Endorsenent Of State Rail
road Commissions Precipitates Most
Exciting Debate Of Meeting
Resolutions Adopted.

The meeting of the League of South
ern Idaho Commercial Clubs held at
Boise, Tuesday and Wednesday. was
the most enthusiastic and representa-
tive meeting of business men of the
state ever held. Of TWENTY-FIVE clubs
holding membership twenty-one were
represented. The members of the Con-
vention were there for business. and
five sessions were held during the two
DAYS
The resolutions adopted by the club
provide for the drafting of new reve-
nue. law making taxes payable semi
annually: opposing the parcels post
measure recommended by Postmaster
General Meyer; endorsing the postal
savings bank system: endorsing Sena-
tor Heyburn's proposed amendment to
the interstate commerce law making it
unlawful for a common carrier to charge
greater rate for a short than for
long haul. when the shorter is included
within the longer; 10 take action to in
duce the Postal Telegraph e. Cable com
pany to extend its lines and service to
Idaho.
The warmest fight of the convention
was over the question of endorsing the
creation of a state railway and ware
house commission. Ii was debated with
energy, pro and con. and was finally re-
ferred TO the executive committee of
the league to ascertain at once the SEN
timent of the several individual clubs.
There were but two clubs which had in
strueted the delegates in this matter,
and both of these clubs voted unani-
issously in favor Of such-a commission
The league decided to enlist in an ad-
vertising campaign of sufficient nagni-
tude to acquaint all homeseekers of the
Pacific Northwest and the Mississippi
valley with the resources of the state.
Ii was decided that this could be done
better by the league than by individual
clubs, and at less expense. The plan
adopted Includes the publication of one
or more books. setting forth the advan-
tages of the state in convincing form.
Each locality represented by club will
be given equal space, and per capita
assessment will be levied on the mem
bership of the clubs to defray expenses.
1t is proposed to expend $500 or more
per month in this manner, and before
the year is ont it is hoped that Idaho
will be better understood and appreciat-
ed than now.

IRRIGATION

because rain did not come in
sufficient Quantities or was
little late in arriving?
Have you ever had an excep-
tional crop, when the yield
was greatly in excess of the
average. and did you ever re-
feet that you would like to
own a farm in country where
they always had big yields?
Western soil and western
sunshine pay big dividends.
Your wheat was COED last
year, and you raised. say,
twenty bushels per acre. Your
climate was rot Just right,
however. and rain was little
late. If you had western eli

A Surprise Party.
IorlgInal.l

[OriginRll
There was q house party at Edward
Medway's, who had just come into
possession Of modest estate, not
enough to live on without doing any
thing, but a good thing to have to help
a man to success who was ambitious.
Dudley Weyburn was there, good
natured, rolIicking, devil may care sort
Df chap, with large brtune, which he
spent lavishly on his friends. He wac
bent on marrying Laura Leonard, one

ment, would never say yes" t. any Of
his numerous proposals. Weyburn and
Midway were great friends, and one
day Midway said to the lover:
ITS plein enough, Dudley, that Lau.
ra Leonard wants you. She's only fool
ing With you. Girls have queer whims,
and hers seems to be to bother you"
What makes you think she wants
me?" asked Weyburn, Frightening.
well, you're deuced good fellow
young, handsome and rich. What else
would girl want? Now, I'll tell you
what you do. Wen put Laura In a
trap I'LL propose series Of mock
marriages and ask her to begin with
you. She can dress herself in bridal

of witnesses. Then after it's all over
we can take the ground that it's legal.
She'll be satisfied, only she'll want to
be married over again"
Weyburn after much persuasion con-
scented. Miss Leonard at first refused
but finally consented also.
The performance was a great sue
cess. Miss Midway played a wedding
march on the piano; the bride, followed
by her attendants, came down the
main staircase, while Weyburn, sup
ported by his groomsmen, filed out Of
the library, meeting the bride in the
hall and proceeding to the drawing
room, where they stood at one end Of
the apartment. 1t had been agreed that
the religious part of the ceremony was
to be left out, which satisfied the bride
that there would be nothing binding
in the ceremony. The bride and groom
consented to take each other for better
or for worse. and they were pronounc-
ed man and wife. Congratulations fol.
lowed, and all proceeded to the we'd
ding supper
When Midway, who had agreed to
announce TO the bride that she was
really married an hour later took her
away by herself and told her Of the
fact he met with reception far differ
ent from what he had expected.
