IRRIGATED FORESTS
Report Shows Sage Brush Plains
to be Valuable.

Washington, Oct 22.-That rich
lands in southern idaho which have
been reclaimed by irrigation may be
made valuable to a much greater de-
gree by the iudicious planting of
trees is the view of a representative
Of the Forest Service who has just re-
ported on an examination of this re-
ginn made this past summer.
The territory examined includes
the upper valley of the Snake River,
the Minidoka and Twin Falls irriga-
tlon projects and the Payette- Boise
region. With the exception of mar
row strips of land along the streams
and among the foothills trees are
lacking in this part Of Idaho, and
winds from the south and southwest
which prevail during the greater part
of the year are especially severe dur
ing the first half Of the growing sea
son.
Wlndhreaks or shalteTbelts are
badly needed, especially in the sec
tions which have recently been 70
claimed, and tree planting for shade
will also prove profitable in that it
will give comfort and further enhance
the value Of the land. In many
localities there is land which 10 more
suitable for small woodlots than for
agriculture and il this is properly
utilized farmers will later have a tim
Der supply which will provide mater.
ial for fence posts, construction and
fuel.
A few shade trees and plantations
for the growing Of posts and poles
have been established. but there is
urgent need Of extensive tree plant
ing throughout the region. Agricul-
ture may be best carried on where a'
least q tenth Of the land Is covered
with trees il the character Of wind

tations, which uill serve for protee-
ton and shade purposes, and viii
give financial returns which In manl
cases will not be inconsiderabie.
In addition, the presence Of tree
exerts a beneficial influence upon th'
climate in that it reduces the velo

BRYAN IN NEW YORK

New York, Oct. 22.-William J.
Bryan spoke last night before an aud
fence that filled Cooper union, while
many thousands we're turned away.
The meeting was under the auspices
of the Progressive Democratic league.
and Mr.. Bryan's subject was "Dem-
ocracy of today" He was intro
ducedby Augustus Thomas, president
of the league. On the subject Of
national control of corporations Mr..
Bryan said: 1.-THE president sug-
gests the national Incorporation OF
ali railroads engaged in interstate
commerce. Not since the days OF
Alexander Hamilton has such doc
trine of Capitalization been advanced
as this suggestion by the president.
1t would practically place the govern
ment of the states in Washington.
The democratic doctrine is that
the federal authorities should attend
to federal affairs and leave the states
to attend to their homs government.
The fsdreal authority should be add
ed to stats authority, not substituted
for it,
He said the federal government,
acting within its present powers,
could curb the trusts.

Aside from this II species for plant
ing are chosen intelllRently, forest
plantations will supply timber which
does not grow naturally In this
region and for which there is a great
demand. THE statement applies es-
pecially to timber of hardwood or
broadleaved trees, which includes
such species as the locust, walnut
and the ashes. The climate in Ida
ho ranges from arid to semiarid.
The average annual precipitation Is
from 10 to 16 inches. Although a
few Of the more hardy grains and
grasses have been grown on non-irTi-
gated land, the production of crop
without the aid Of irrigation is an
certain and consequently tbis method
is beng abandoned.
The trees adapted for planting IN
the upper valley Of the Snake river,
where the elevtion is relatively high
and the growing season short, are
white ash and green ash, honey locust
white elm, Carolina poplar, white
willow, Scotch pine, and Norway
spruce. In the south central section
Of the state including the Minidoka
and Twin Falls irrigation projects,
black locust, black walnut, white
ash, white elm, Carolina poplar,
European larch. Scotch pine and
Norway spruce will give the best re-
suits.
The Payette Boise region with a
relatively low elevation and mild
climate presents conditions for the
growth Of large number Of species
The trees best suited for planting in
this section, however, are those which
have been listed in the foregoing
districts. II greater variety IL de

THE ENTERTAINMENT COURSE
Five of the Strongest Lyeeum
Attractions Coming to Coast.

The subscription list for season
tickets to the Occur d 'Alsne entertain
ment course is growing fast. Over
two hundred tickets are now pledged.
Only one hundred more are necessary
to guarantee the cast of the talent.
1t is expected that single admission
sales will cover local expenses. A
special half rate on season tickets lie
to be offered pupils of the public
schools and to students of the col.
lege.
Different people Of the city have
heard each of the attractions in the
series and their testimonies of merit
promise rich treats for the i've even
ings. The first attraction appears at
the Auditorium theater next Monday
evening. 1t is the Kellogg Haines
Singing party, company of five ar
fists who give the opera Dolly Var
den." The second number is sched-
uled for Nov. 2Sth and lie the famous
Bostonia Sextette, the highest priced
musical attraction offered to the
lyceum courses this season. The So
loist will be Madame Melva Glenn
aire, Prima Donna soprano. She
has but recently returned from brill
liant tour Of concerts through
Europe. DR.. John NJ. Driver of

than Bryan and LaFollette, appearing
in about twenty courses with them
in the west. Opie Read, the novelist,

per, on Jan. 18th. And last and
best of all the Hero of the Merri-
mac, Capt. Richmond P. Hobson,

country stands in grave danger of a
war with Japau. Hobson was recent
Iy elected to congress by the largest
vote ever given a candidate in his
district down in Alabama. The date
is April 18th.
No wonder the people are enthusi-
astiC in supporting this worthy enter
prise when season tickets are only
$3.50. The citizens guaranteeing this
course are pledged not to accept any
profits but to use the same as a fund
for another course next year, IL the
course ticket holders approve.
