Baltimore American.
ArrestiD= the General.
Once during a South American revolution
a certain general was hiding in the capital
city of his native land. His hiding place
was less than a block from his mothers
home, and the government, his foe, more
than suspected It, for 1t had sent an
officer around to his mothers to make
inquiries concerning the general.
His mother, Of course, and his sisters
and his cousins and aunts were all voluable
in maintaining that the man in hiding was
not In the city, that he had escaped over
the mountains to the seacoast, that he
was probably already on his way to New
York or Paris, those ranch offices of
South American revolutions.
And the officer sent by the government
was quite willing to be convinced. He didn't
really care, because the general supposed to
be In hiding was a good friend OF his.
Duty had been fulfilled, he could report to
the government that the general could not
be found.
But just as he was engaged In backing
out Of the door with a series OF compli-
Gated Spanish bows the servant of the gen.
eral in hiding suddenly entered from the
street and. completely failing to size up
the situation, remarked to the mistress of
the house:
The general says to please send him his
slippers"
1t was too good a joke to spoil. With a
smile the officer of the government, acting
exactly as If he had heard nothing, con-
tnued to bow and back out of the house.

ALFALFA SEED A PAYING CROP
Threshers From Hagerman Report
Big Seed Crop

Harry E. Dilatush, w. L. Coltharp
and j. H Bell of Hagerman were in
the city Tuesday on business relating to
the desert proof of Mr.. Dilatush before
U. S. Commissioner Disney. Messrs.
Dilatush and Coltharp are the parties
who undertook the job of threshing the
alfalfa seed for the ranchers of the
Hagerman valley and they fully confirm
the early reports as to the bountiful
yields of alfalfa seed wherever their
machine has been in operation. With
about seven hundred acres to thresh at
the beginning of the season, they have
about five hundred acres yet on hand
before their work is completed. They
find the yield of seed at present prices
will average seventy-fve dollars an
acre, and several pieces will run over a
hundred dollars an acre for seed alone.
Taking the seed and hay together into
account it makes the total value per
acre at one hundred dollars and over
which is not so bad for even the Hager-
man valley

Two Democratic Candi-
dates Reported TO
Have Withdrawn
WaegOner, for Superintendent, and
Burkhart, for Surveyor, said
to Have Quit the Race

Word came to the Journal that two
candidates on the democratic county
ticket Waggoner for county superin-
tendent of schools, and Burkhart for
surveyor-have resigned, or at least
asked to resign and not figure in the
coming election.
Inquiry was made today at the demo-
cratic headquarters, where it was stat
ed that no authorization had been given
Mr. Waggoner to resign from the tick
et AS to Mr.. Burkhart, the secretary
of the democratic county central COM
mittee had no knowledge of such re-
signation. The report however, seems
to have gained considerable credenc.
The reasons which are said to have
led Mr.. Waggoner to ask for a release,
if such a release has been asked, are
not made public.
AS the election is but 10 days off, any
vacancy occurring now would deprive
the party of even a chance at the Office
of the resigning candidate.

A Plea for Good Citizenship
Abundant Opportunity for all Living Under the Protection Of
odd Glory" to Become Clean Honorable and
Useful Citizens of Republic
BY MAJOR FRED R. REED

"Some men are born great, others
have greatness thrust upon them. "
On life's great battlefield you meet all
classes of people, the rich, the poor,
the middle class, the good, the bad, and
the hypocrite all travelling along on the
great pathways from babyhoods pratt
tling hour to the helplessness of old
age.
The stern realities and responsible
ties of life confront man every step
he takes. The rules of living decent,
clean honorable lives are printed on
every mile post and yet the inconsis-
tencies of conditions and circumstances
we are surrounded by make it impossi-
BILE for one man to pass in judgement
upon brother man with the unerring
degree Of accuracy that judgement
should be passed. In a great and rapid
ly growing country snch as ours, where
our citizenship is composed of humans
from everywhere on the face of the
earth it is a marvel at times that we
get along as well as we do and with as
little trouble as we have. Think
moment of the different forms of gov
ernment under which these thousands
of different kinds of people were born,
makes the solution more difficult. We
have annually dumped upon our hOspit-
able shores thousands of people who by
birth, education and may say instinct
are not in sympathy with our form of
government Many who believe liberty
means hcence and who if they dared
would throttle the life of our republic
and make it playground for the salts
faction of their lusts and animal crav-
ings.
In spite of the howls of politicians, of
the necessities of reforms, new parties,
new principles, it certainly must be a
source of pride to real American to
live in country governed by the peo-
pie for the people in such manner
that all who obey the law to have liber-
ty knock at their door and in their
respective spheres given an oppor-
tunity to drink in and absorb the
rights and privileges of one form of
the government Of the
people by the people, it is truly wonder
full that we get along as well as we do. (
The bayonet and the poieeman's club 1
are very necessary, an army to sustain
the dignity of the flag is necessary.

prison and the Jail are all part of the

machinery of our protection and pro-
gress and mighty as is the sword, the
army and the law, is the great underly-
ing principle of our progress and de-
velppment, the church and the school
house. These all important factors are
the safe guards of our fair land and in
education rests the hope of the country
in the future as well as the present.
Any process whereby the hands and
brains are trained to do those things,
things that are clean, honest, patriotic
and humane, ave unquestionably bene-
fetal to the human family. To the
right thinking, right acting, right
living masses, to the common every
day people is bequeathed the response
bility of perpetuating the high prin-
ciples and lofty sentiments OF the sign
ers of the Declaration Of Independence
and trainers of that great safe gard
and pilot "The Constitution of the
United States" Men do not have to
be great to do good or be good, any
right minded citizen is a power in the
community where he lives. care not
what his occupation may be, if it is
honest work, be it with hands or brain
or both. Good citizenship is within
the reach of every citizen, education is
the beacon light, ever burning brightly
to guide and direct every man or wo-
man who in their heart desire to better
their condition. You may not be able
to give your children fine clothes and
college educations, but if necessary to
wear patched clothes, they can be
clean, you can take your boys and girls
by the hand and lead them to the thres-
holds of our great public schools, the
gateway to the future, good books,
clean wholesome entertainments, coupl
ed with the benefits of school and
church and you are giving to the young
er generation passports to true citizen
ship. The older the writer grows the
more he appreciates the statesman
ship and wisdom of those patriots who
so wisely and spendidly framed and
builded the great ship of state and un
furled the star spangled banner at the
masthead 1t was the inspiration of
the past, the safe guard of the present I
and the hope of the future. The church,
the schoolhouse, the patriotism and
loyalty of the common every day peo-
pie Of this, the greatest of countries,
make c tizenship in the United States
a heritage, legacy more precious
than gold.

Idaho Irrigation Co. Has
Paid Off all of the
Old Accounts
Water Promised on Alberta and
South GOodins Tracts Next
Year-WOrk Being Rushsd

Perhaps more than $1,000 in cash
has been circulated here in Shoshone
within the past two weeks, in the pay
ment of all the old claims against the
Idaho Irrigation company. The old
bills are now completely wiped off the
books, and the new company starts out
with boundless cash and credit unsullied.
1t is learned that there will be no
formal land opening of the company
lands this season, though the land east
Of Shoshone will be opened next spring.
rand is now being sold in the Alberta
and Gooding tracts, and the selling
company will soon prepare for an en-
ergetic campaign for land buyers.
1t is announced from the company
that they will have water on the AL
berta and South Gooding tracts next
spring, enough for all the settlers who
NAV want to move on and make crop.
Work is going on steadily, in the sub
contract camps on the canal, and in
the J. G. White & Co. camp at the big
dam. 1t should be easy for the com
pany to get water on the land as prom
ised; though Of course the bulk of the
land will not get water until year
from next spring.
A. Lazo, Jr., formerly of the New
York office OF J. G. White & Co, has
been put in charge of the company
Office here in Shoshone, and will be the
general agent for all the local work of
the company. This will be no small
task, for ne will have to look after the
forwarding of all materials flom this
point to the great construction camps
on the canals and the big dam; start
the land buyers in the right direction
for Richfeld, and be a sort of buffer
between The company and the outside
world. His experience and personality
well fit him for the task, and the White
company will be ably represented.
Mr.. Lazo will occupy the room here
tofore occupied by the Sage Brush Tonic
company for an office.
A car of poles for the new telephone
line from Richfeld to the big dam, 20
miles. arrived this week Most of the
holes are dug for the reception of the
poles, and the poles themselves will be
hauled and set as soon as possible. Then
the line will be strung and put into OPP
GRAFTON.
Two hundred contracts for the sale of
lands at Richfield and Gooding have
been received at the county court house
this week, for record. The contracts
had been held up for long time, but
are now being recorded. 1t is expected
that several thousand acres of the COM /
pany land will get water next spring, |
enough at least to allow of proving up, /
and to secure crop.
Work was begun this week on the
new Richfeld hotel. 1t will be of brick,
and one of the most comfortable, slightly |
structures of its size to be found in the
state. Its completion is looked forward /
to with a good deal of interest by the
employees, some of whom expect to
bring their families as soon as accomo-
dations can be had.
