TO those who are growing the Durum
wheats as spring varieties. The clip
ping reads as follows:
County Clerk.elect ]. c. Hacking
has made an interesting experiment
In dry farming during the past sum
mer
This spring he sowed one bushcl
of Durum wheat q dry land variety
on one acre OF land, narrowing il only
once after sowing IL broadcast, and
after IL came up he narrowed II once
more. This acre Of wheat was given
absolutely no irrigation. Tho wheat
reached height of several inches
above Ar. Ilacking's head. while irri.
gated wheat. the ordinary variety
common in this valley. on land ad.
joining IL, grew only half as high. Tile
DufHm wheat gave yield of 45 bush.
elB per acre, Which was much In ex.
cess OF the yield of the irrigated
wheat"
Certainly Mr.. II. is to be congrntn.
lated upon his excellent yield. Higher
than a mans head and yielding AZ
bushels per acre looks good TO tho
writer. The farmers In that section
Of the country had better quit irrigat.
ing ind go to raising Durum wheat
on the dry lands of Utah.

lofty ranges. This Is not the first
time such an occurrence has been oh.

festation Is apparently early. No sat

vanced us 10 its cause.
The snow covering tho mountains
with the pronounced red hue over
their mantle of white has an extraord-
iuarily weird effect. The Indians and
half.breeds and others susceptible to
superstitious lorebodlpgs are regard.
ing the visitation of a portent OF dire
calamity and are applying themselves
with unusual fcryor TO devotions,
Among the explanations nut forward

theory that IL is caused by red vol

Clean Up Day A Success.

The response to the call Of the
May or and Council was general and
the streets and alleys were raked
aud cleaned everywhere and their
appearance greatly improved.
Several teams were kept busy all
day hauling away the accumulated
debris. The day was a delight 'ul
one, inviting outdoor work, beirg
warm. >unshiney and bright, the
stores were closed in the afternoon
aud everybody took hand in the
good work.
The fire company was out for
practice and wet down the streets
around the hydrants and everybody
who came in range of the stream
from the nozzle.
The improvement in the appear
ance of tie town will be noticeable
to everyone and this alone would
be reward enough for the extra ef-
fort, to say nothing OF the necessity
of such action from the standpoint
Of the public health.
The public school children also
did their share of the work of the
day. The pupils Of the higher
grades met in the morning and
cleaned up the school house grounds
which was sadly needed aud should
have been done long ago. Appro-
pirate to Arbor Day a few trees
were set out on the school ground
in suitable places.
tits strongly to be hoped, that,
in spite of the aching back and
blistered hands, there will be a
general resolve that Clean Up Day
be regular annual event.

PAID FOR The FEED

Something in the nature of an
inquiry was advanced yesterday as
to whether the new park board
dined at the city's expense when in
session at Davenport's. Official in
formation emphatically impaired
this morning is to the effect that
the commission paid for it's own din
ner. 1t Is also made quite clear
that individually the members OF
the commission are able to buy a
dinner at Davenport's now and
then. The meeting came handy for
the lunch hour and the commission
assassinated birds with l stone by
mingling green grass and other
park business with the bill of fare.
That eve~y member was deadly SER
ious about it is demonstrated by
the solemn manner in which allu-
sion to the bill was accepted.

Orchard said he was arrested
Sunday afternoon, in the hotel, but
was not locked up and was per.
mitted to remain on parole until
Monday. No one cafe to see him
until the following Sunday, when he
was visited by James Sullivan, who
had acted as his lawyer in a suit in
Denver. Sullivan came to see II he
was Orchard. He refused to act as
Orchards lawyer, but at his request
telegraphed to Fred Miller at Spo-
kane to come on.
Orchard was held IS days in
Caldwell and then brought to Boise.
After 3 weeks confinement McPar-
land came. Orchard said he never
met him before nor had any bust

remained alone with MCFARLAND an

MCFARLAND had talked about the

BIG CITY EXPENSE BILL FOR
MAY WILL BE DUPLICATED
EVERY MONTH IN COMING
YEAR.

II is estimated that for the fiscal
year beginning July 1t will take at
least $225.000 to run the street and
water departments, almost a fourth
more than this year. The estimate
is based upon the figures for run
ming expenses last month, when the
water department expended 49,
1920 and the street department
$10,352.30.
Owing to the mass of bridge work
as well as other new work, last
months expenses, which were par
ticularly high, will probably be du-
plicated every month for the next
year These figures were obtained
today at the comptroller's Office.
With this expense added to the
big 100000 salary increase of the
police and fire departments. which
the council will probably allow, the
tax will reach at least Is mills and
may be half a mill higher. II is
not believed that the valuation OF
property will be more than $685.

that made Paulson the richest man
in the Occur d'Alenes. He secured
the loan and went to Caldwell,
where he murdered Steunenberg.
Although Orchard had claimed he
was sent on the murder mission by
Haywood and Pettibone, he init
mated that he did not apply to
them for money when he was hard
pressed in Idaho because he was
not actively engaged in assassina-
ton and seemed to have con-
scientious scruples against asking
for money until he had accom-
plished something" He admitted
the commission of burglary and a
number of other crimes while in
Wallace.
Orchard implicated David Coates,
former lieutenant governor of Colo
RADIO, in the kidnapping plot. Coates
was in court and stood up to be
identified. He will testify for the
defense later and declares Orch
ard lies.
In coming down to the Steunen-
berg murder Orchard reiterated his
statement that Meyer and Haywood
sent him to commit the crime. He
said Ed Boyce, former president
Of the miners federation and now
of the owners Of the Hercules
desired also to have Steunenbere
out of the way. The examination
covering the Steunenberg murder
went over the same ground as the
direct testimony.
