BRYAN ON BENEFITS
OF IRRIGATION
Irrigatioa Gives Snall Fasne1 4 Chance
He Has Nswhere Else--Anaxias
ChaAge That Has Bees Mad
n Past Three Years.

When j. W. Bryan left Twin Falls
week ago he was prevailed upon to de-
liver an address. His observations re-
lsting to the advantages of irrigation,
given below, show him TO be close OBJ
server.
drove across the desert from Sho-
shcfie to Blue Lakes 10 years ago this
summer. We were so impressed with
the beauty of Blue Lakes and with de
hospitality of Mr.. and Mrs. Perrine
that we have planned time and again to
return But l have led such a busy
life that our visit was deferred This
year having but few days for rest,
we decided to spend the time at Blue
Lakes and you can better imagine my
surprise than | can express it in words
to find this desert land converted into
garden No one who has not visited ir-
ngated regions can understand the
transformation that water makes in
the appearance of desert. But even
those accustomed to the miracle that
has been wrought by the irrigation
canals is hardly prepared for the change
that has taken place within three years
in the land about Twin Falls.
Il am believer in irrigation. It
gives the small farmer chance which
he gets nowhere else and the fact that
more people can be supported upon q
square mile by irrigation than by nat
ural rainfall. gives to the irrigated
country advantages in the way Of
schools and social gatherings that do
not come to sparseiy se-tsed commu-
mites. When stor1Te systems have
beer added to river irrigation these
mountain st4tes will BE- even mo-s
noted for agriculture than they have
been for mining.
Il have been Interest ted. too. to note
the character of the population which
is drawn to the irrigated sections.
They are intelligent, energetic and law
abiding people and they transplant at
once in the new country the advanced
civilization of the sections from which
they come
Il arm informed that out of over
20oo farmers in Twin Falls county. all
but three made out their own as
sessment blanks intelligently. This
shows that they are an educated peo-
pie and that your citizenship is high
class.

Tax DODGERS Must PAY Up.

Columbus, O., Oct 29.-Attorney
General Ellis has sent notice to sc
Ohio steam and street railway compa-
nies whose franchises are now exer-
cised by holding companies claiming
for the state $1,000,000 back taxes.
The attorney general says these COM
panies have not paid taxes under
either the Willis law, which assesses
1 per cent. on the capital stock, or un-
der the Cole law, which assesses one
tenth of 1 per cent. on the gross re-
ceipts of public service corporations.
He says they cannot evade taxes un-
der both laws.

of the Dollar Savings bank announc-
ed Monday that shortage of about
$4,000 had been found in the ac-
counts of Fred A. Boron, the cashier

borrowed money to replace the
amount of his defalcations whenever
the directors were about to examine
the banks affairs At other times
the notes were put in as cash.

their hair number of men have'
fled from Seoul to the country to-
escape the edict of the emperor.
The newly-appointed imperial bar
ber seems to have floated into the,
sea of affluence, for it is said on very
good authority that his majesty has,
ordered the payment to him of 300'
yen. If this is correct we now un--

have lately flashed upon us and given,
such exquisite amusement.
1t is said that the Koreans who.
have had their hair cut are having:
very bad time in the country. The
moment they are seen by any Of the,
volunteers they are seized and an ex--
PLANTATION demanded as to why they
cut off the topknot. If they cam
prove that they are either ex-soldiers,
or students they are released, but If
not they are usually killed.-KoreaA

More than Local 'lnterest.-Ten
Tickets in Massachusetts.

New York City-There will be
elections in IL states one week from
to-day. In Massachusetts, Rhode ISL
and, Maryland, Mississippi and Ken
lucky a governor and other state of.
ficers are to be chosen; in New Jer-
sey, governor only; in New York,
two associate justices of the court of
appeals; in Pennsylvania state
treasurer, and in Nebraska railroad
commissioner and two regents of the
State university. In Ohio, Utah and
California, municipal officers are to be
selected, while in New York county a
number of judges and a sheriff are to
be voted for.
The prohibitionists have a state
ticket in all the states except Mary
land and Mississippi.
The socialists also have tickets in
all the states except Mississippi and
Maryland, and city tickets in Cincin-
natl and Salt Lake, but not in San
Francisco.
In Massachusetts there are ten
tickets, five being divided among DEM
ocrats, who are engaged in factional
fight, with the state delegation to the
national democratic convention next
year in prospective. The ballot law
commission decided that Henry NJ.
Whitney was the nominee for gov
ernor
In Nebraska the democrats and
populists fused on the state ticket.
In Maryland there will be a straight
contest between the democrats and
republicans, only the two parties hav-
ing made nominations for state Off
GERS. In addition to these a house of
delegates and half of the state senate
are to be elected.
In New York county the republic
ans and Independence league
(Hearst) forces have fused on the
county ticket, which is made up of a
number of court justices and a sheriff.
This gives unusual interest to the
contest. Although the republicans
named the head of the ticket, NJ. Linn
Bruce, for justice of the supreme
court, the most important office, that
of sheriff, went to the independence
league, whose nominee, Max F. Ihm-
sen, has been William R. Hearst's
campaign manager in several cam
paigns. OF the ten judges nominated
the republicans named five and the
Independence league the others.
Opposed to Ihmsen on the demo-
cratic ticket is Thomas F. Foley, DEM
ocratic leader of the Second assembly
district and we'll known figure in
East Side politics, while James w.
Gerard heads the democratic ticket
for justice of the supreme court. At
ter the nominations were made,
Mayor Mcclellan, who had opposed
the Tammauy machine, announced
that he would support the democratic
ticket against the republican Hearst
combine.
In Cleveland, Congressman Theo-
dore e. Burton is contesting the may
orally with Tom L. Johnson, who is
understood to be the representative
of William ]. Bryan in Ohio, and to
endorse Bryan's views on the subject
of public utilities.
There are four tickets in Salt Lake
City, the American or anti-Mormon
party, having made nominations for
local offices, as have the republicans,
democrats and socialists.

Ter, the Independent lid" candidate
for mayor, is making the campaign a
lively one. The church people and
temperance advocates are for him,
and many prayer meetings are being
held in his interest. The temperance
people are trying to get photographs
of the interior of law-breaking saloons
and of gambling rooms, but the saloon
men and gamblers are on the alert to
prevent the temperance snapshooters
from entering their places. 1t is a
three-cornered fight. Mayor Trum-
bull is on the democratic ticket for re-
election. L. P. Yost is the republican
candidate.
