Big Future For Dry Land Alfalfa.

Of late years deep interest has been
aroused in the so-cslled dry land alfal-
ia, says President E. A. Bryan in Pa
cifc Monthly. Botanically the same as
the other i has been grown on non-irri-
gated kiid for longer or shorter period
and .s supposedly adapted to such con-
ditons. OF late, the farmers on the
higt lands of eastern Washington, have
soSn considerable areas TO 'fdry land"
alfalfa with great results. the first cut
ing yielding from txo to three tons of
hay per acre. and there being light
second crop or good pasturage. Such
4 crop is more profitable than the ordi-
hfry hay crops in the east. Without
dc,sbt, in few years. this forage crop
will be one of the most important on
non-iriigated lands IN eastern Wash
ington.

PLANS FOR new
SCHOOL BUILDING
Board Will Adopt Plans al
Next Regular Meeting.
Plans Which Seem TO Have the Pref
ereDce Provide for Eight Rooms,
Heating Pint and Modern
faciliti.s.

The school board at its meeting Mon
dgy evening viii decide upon the plans
for our new school building. There is
a strong probability that the plans of
Samms e. Smith, the Pocatello archi-
tects, will be adopted. They provide
for an eight-room brick building, two
stories and basement. Four school
rooms will be on each floor. Each room
will have lockers and closets, together
with modern school conveniences. The
building will be 62x80 feet. The build
ing will be plain but slightly, and well
adopted to the needs Of the school, and
its estimated cost is little the rise Of
sl3, 900, heating plant included.
There are other plans TO be consider
ed, but those of Samms & Smith appear
to be in highest favor at present. A
picture of the proposed building viii ap

vorable engineers will be put to work
to determine the amount of land that
can be included.
Ii is estimated that $4,000 acres or
more can be watered at reasonable
cost by reservoiring the waters of the
Portneuf and Marsh creek, or by bring
ing water from the Snake over the old

railroad, water tank, Campbell's store

32O-ACRE DRY FARM HOMESTEAD Bull

Pass in Amy Form This Session.

The 320-acre dry farm homestead bill,
so far ms Idaho is concerned, is dead for
this session Of congress. Senator Hey
burn fought the measure until Idaho
was eliminated in the senate. In the
House Congressman French had Idaho
restored to the provisions Of the bill.
An amendment was put through drop
ping the words "arid or ms-arid"
from the measure. and this failed to
meet Senator Borah's approval. When
the bin as amended reached the senate,
Senator Hepburn announced that it

should not pass if his strength held out
TO permit him TO talk it to death in the
closing hours. Borah attempted to
have the words "arid and semi-arid'' re-
stored, but the house conferees would
moi consent TO this. Inasmuch, he said,
AS the bill in its present form would en-
able the taking up of 320 acres in the
northern part of the state, where the
rainfall is ample, he Joined Hepburn in
having Idaho stricken from the pro
visions. So that if the bill passes Idaho
will receive no benefits from it.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Jones Should be Elected.

The inference left by Levi Ankeny
that he may refuse to abide by the
decision of the people in their vote
for senator is not a pleasing thing to
contemplate With the the number
of holdover senators and newly elect
ed legislators who did not take the
pledge to vote for the peoples
choice it might be possible for him to
cause a deadlock in the legislature,
especially with the liberal use of
money.
The legislator, however, whether
pledged or not, who would vote to
set aside the clearly expressed will of
the people is not fit to represent
them.-Spokane Chronicle.
