JUDGE SMITH RETURNS.

Judge Frank J. Smith returned
from the east Saturday, after hav-
ing transacted some legal business
of great Importance to Idaho. Mr..
Smiths business was in connection
with the reclamation of the land on
the north side of Snake river near
Twin Falls. He states that deal
was successfully consumated, where
by company of Pittsbnrg capitalists
acquired the rights and title TO the
interests of the Twin Falls Land and
Water Co, north of Snake river.
The new company will reclaim some
thing like 10000 acres of land on
the north side under the Cary act
This will involve the expenditure of
great amount of energy. The com
pany also propose developing cleo
tric power at Shoshone Falls. the
Upper Salmon and the Angus Falls.
The total expenditure 10 develop the
present projects will exceed $4,000
100000. This does not take into con-
sideration other expenditures, which
will naturally follow the reclamation
of 1875, O00 acres of agricultural land.
While east, Judge Smith visited
Washington. d. c., where he met the
president and many other men OF
great prominence. He states that, in
his opinion, there 10 not man in the

by President Roosevelt than
is Senator Hepburn. 1t is true that
these two men differ on different
policies, particularly the forest re-
serve policy of the administration.
But each recognizes in the other an
honest man. an accordingly respect
each other as such. Judge Smith
says that Senator Heyburn's stand
ing and prestige Is wonderful. He
cites as a reason for this, the pas
sage of the pure food bill. When
Senator Hepburn was appointed on
the committee of manufactures, ETC.,
it was done as sort of joke. This
committee was the personihcation OF
'innocuous deisitude" for IT years.
Senator Hepburn breathed the breath
of life into 1t. Senator Hepburn is

and will receive favorable attention.
Judge Smith also paid tribute
TO Representative Burton l.. French.
| In his opinion Congressman French
is an able and capable man. He is
working hard for Idaho and her in
terests, and he is accomplishing re-
suits. Judge Smith feels proud OF
the Idaho delegation In congress.

French of the State university, gave
a talk on general subjects. He ex-
pressed himself as greatly pleased
with the institute and was glad to
know that Canyon county had ma
terial among the farmers to run an
institute without the help of profess
sOrs. He said the program was ex-
cellent and the discussion was inter
esting. Mr.. French is of the opinion
that Idaho will soon be Qnite. fac

1t was 8 o'clock when President

President Miller announced that
the next number on the program
would be the address of welcome by
Mayor Madden. 1t is not necessary
to state that the address had the
genuine ring of hospitality and was
well received.
| Following the Mayors talk Hon
Silas Wilson of NamPa was intro
duced by A. e. GIBSON, editor of the
Gem State Rural. Mr. Wilson re
sponded on behalf of the institute
to the address of welcome. The gen

The second annual meeting of the

Ing, from personal experiments made
on a homestead near this city. He
was guided by what is known as the
Campbell system which, as Professor
French says, is only intense cultiva-
ton of the soil. One of the principal
features of the system is, first. deep
blowing, then follow with a packer,
which packs about half the depth
plowed and leaves the surface pull
verified, and by keeping the soil in
that condition the moisture is retain

takes root. OF course potatoes, corn
and vegetables must necessarily re-
quire continued cultivation, but not

cessful in raising potatoes, corn, rad
ishes and other varieties of vegeta-
bles.
8. 8. Foote made a few remarks
on raising wheat. His statements
were based on personal experience
that better wheat was grown in this
valley before irrigation became gen.
eral than since. His reason for this
statement was that in irrigation too
much water was used, consequently
the wheat was softened 1t appeared
to be the sentiment that more care
should be taken, in fact, some of the
