joyed the first annual banquet of the
Kennewick Commercial club given in
the handsome new Hotel Kennewick

What was perhaps one of the most

of the state. In both poise and juig-
ment he rose level to the several emer-
gencies he had to meet as leader of the
nation. and like all men with the roo,
of true greatness in them he grew to
steadily larger stature under the
stress of heavy responsibilities. He
was good citizen and a brave SOL
dier chief executive whose wisdom
entitled him to the trust which he
received throughout the nation. He
was not only leader of men; for one
of his most marked traits was the in
tensely human quality of his wide and
deep sympathy.
Finally, he not merely preached, he
was that mos. valuable of all citizens

the highest place served as an un-

Lesson Of Sympathy.

Many lessons are taught us by his
career. but rone mora valuable thar
he lesson Of broad human sympathy
for ar1 among all of our citizens Of
all classes and creeds. No other pres

malice toward none, with charity to-
ward all" AS a boy he worked hard
with his hands: he entered the army
as priva te soldier: he knew poverty:
he earned his own livelihood: and. by
his own exertions he finally rose to the
position of a man of moderate means.
No merely was he in personal touch
with farmer and town dweller. with

on intimate understanding of each.
and his consistent effort was TO try to

Prof. Fulmer. chemist Of Washington
State University, says that Twin Falls.
soil contains thirty per cent more plant
producing qualities than the soil Of ,e
Yakima valley and is equalled only in a
few places in California.
What applies to Twin Falls. soil Is ap-
plicable to all other parts of Southern
Idaho, with but little variation some
places little more sandy some parts
seem to have little more humus some
places have a gravel sub-soi and in
some Of the lower lands some alkali NAV
be found.
Some low lands containing alkali or
where water stands are unsuitable for
fruit A gravel sub-soil is good. Fruit
land must have good drainage.

MOVE TO SECURE INDE-
PENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT
County Superintendent Praises Schools
Of American Falls.

As result Of a visit from County
Superintendent K. N. Hill steps have
been taken to make an independent
school district of American Falls. The
advantages of an independent district
are that the school levies are not appor-
toned, but all go to the support of the
school in such district. The levy in
this county for school purposes is eight
mills. and American Falls pays probs-
bly, twice as much for school purposes
as is received in the apportionment.
Another advantage is that the school
board is composed Of six instead of
three members.
The schools of American Falls are
growing so rapidly that the school
board is constantly at wits end to pro-
vide for them, and every dollar paid
for school purposes is needed at home.
The maximum levy for school purposes
in a common school district is fifteen
mills. The maximum has never been
levied here, but in all probability it will
have to be next year and for several
years TO come unless this is made an
independent district and all the money
paid for school purposes is kept at
home. The superintendent met with
the school board and the principal of
the schools Thursday night and discus
sed affairs of interest TO the schools.
1t was decided to change textbooks,
turning in the old books and getting the
complete state course
The superintendent paid a glowing
compliment to the American Falls
schools, and to the teachers. He says
we have the best schools, this year, in
the history of the district, ard among
the best in the county. He stated to
the school board that he considered
Miss Mclaughlin, principal Of the
schools, one Of the best informed teach
ers in the county. and has engaged her
as one of the instructors in the county
teachers institute which will be held at
Preston Thanksgiving week.
The superintendent spent the day
here Thursday. visiting the schools. and
left for home yesterday noon.

ANOTHER TEN ACRE ORCHARD.
Aberdeen Man Learns That Fruit
Growing is Profitable.

John Toevs, of Aberdeen. had an ex-
perience at Blackfoot, recently, that
has made him decide to put out ten
acre commercial orchard. In company
with some of his neighbors he went to
Blackfoot to purchase his winter sup
ply of apples. BY arrangement with
the owner he picked his own fruit. By
the number Of boxes he obtained from
each tree. the price per box, and the
number of trees per acre he found that
the gross revenue the owner secured
was 81, 900 per acre.
In relating the matter to the Press
Mr.. Toevs said II It even cost $3.50 per
acre to care for the trees the other $3.50
would pay better than anything else he
knew Of.
American Falls press. [volume] (American Falls, Idaho) 1907-1937, 1907-10-26

crops Of all fruits grown in that section
and the higher attitudes Of the Snake
river around Blackfoot were not so se-
verely injured as the lower valleys of
the Snake and Columbia.
The higher attitudes Of the Snake
river valley have cooler nights. dryer
air and freer circulation of il with less
humidity and are for these resons less
favorable for the growth Of insect pests
and apples grown here will be sounder
and keep longer than those of the lower
altitude of the Columbia valley. These
are not theories simply. but facts yeri-
tied by experience.

these improvements required man Of
courage and patriotism, and W. H.
Philbrick was the man of the hour. He
understood the towns needs, he con-
ceived the proper remedy and stood
ready 10 back his Judgment with cash.
Preliminary surveys and work We're
begun at once, and on January s. 1907
the American Falls Development com
pany was organized to prosecute the
work of building up the town. with W.
II. Phiibrick as president and r. b.
Greenwood as secretary What has
been accomplished in this short space
of time has been faithfully chronicIed to
the raVois az the Press. A city is be-
ing built, its progress advancing swiftly
through the propelling power inaugu-
rated by these progressive gentlemen.
IL was a herculean task which W. II.
Philbriek set for himself and his associ-
stes, but these men of deeds worked
along the lines laid out with a
silent dignity which has won the an
proval and respect of all good citizens.
And now when the stranger visiting

GOOD PROGRESS
ON THE CANAL
Two Months Of Good Weather
Will See 1t Completed.
This is the Conclusion Of George H.
Champ, Who Visited Camps Last
Week Good Work ALI Along
the Canal System.

George H. Champ, agent for the
Rockford, Illinois, people, who are in
terested in the American Falls Canal
project, returned Sunday evening from
trip Of inspection as far as Spring
field. Mr.. Champ was highly pleased
with the progress Of the work, and also
with its character
AT camp l9 they are moving about
2o00 yards day. said Mr.. Champ.
''and will finish there in about two
weeks. There are forty-eight teams at
work in this camp. Sixteen of them
are attached to grader, which is NOV
ing 1000 yards day. Mr.. Hardy is in
charge of the work. There is excellent
discipline in the camp, and the force is
working ten hours day.
Two thousand yards day may not
mean much without explanation. When
the work at camp l9 is completed. and
the force moves down below the con-
tract Of Livingstone the building of the
canal from there on TO the end will re-
quire the moving of not more than 1900
yards per mile, and 1000 yards is proba-
bly, nearer correct. The big grader
now at camp l9 will practically CON-
plete a mile day. With sixty days
more Of good weather the canal will
practically be completed. T. r. Jones
has one mile of the eight his contract
calls for, completed This mile in
cludes the heaviest work on his contract.
About thirty teams from his Lost River
camp will arrive about Wednesday.
His force then will be as large as that
at camp ls, and he will make rapid pro-
gress from that time or. Mr. Jones is
finishing the eastern end Of the low
line canal.
Mr.. Livingston is doing good work on
his contract
we will have another Cache Valley
here in two or three years. remarked
the writer.
This is a better country than Cache
Valley" replied Mr. Champ. The
soil Is better and not so spotted. You
have better country here thar the
Payette Valley. Our company financ-
ed the building of the canal there and
| have been all over that land. and for
fifteen miles along the canal there are
not patches enough uncultivated to
make two sections. When we went in
there a few years ago land was selling
from S25 to SS5 per acre Now it is
selling at from SIS to $3.50, and fruit
farms for very high prices. Yet the
soil there dose not compare in anyway
with that under the American Falls
Canal. The drainage here is good, and
there is very little alkali.
Mr.. Champ was greatly pleased. and
said there was no doubt but that the
canal would be completed in time to
furnish water for all next spring.
