We understand that some party has canvassed
this territory taking orders for Minnesota prison
twine and that many Of the farmers in this vi
cinity have given orders. While the twine may be
all right, and the price right, there is grave
question whether these orders will ever be filed
The laws of Minnesota provide that no prison Irvine
shall be sold to non-residents until the farmers of
Minnesota have been supplied. We do not know
about last year, but reliably informed that
two years ago Minnesota did not have enough Irvine
to supply Minnesota orders, and that not pound
was sent outside the state The Minnesota Irvine
factory is not like private institution. It's capacity
is limited. private concern could hire more men
and put in more machinery and night and day
to make Irvine enough to supply all orders, but not
so with the penitentiary management. They have
only such men as sent there by sentence Of
law, and no matter how many orders they get, they
can not increase their force their machinery to
keep up. With the excellent crop prospects In Min
nesota this year it is very unlikely that there will
be any Irvine for outsiders. We have not consid
cred any of the twine-dealers in Starkweather, but
understand that they do not order very much
Irvine in excess of what they have orders for as it
is stock that dealer does not want to carry over.
Now the farmer who ordered Minnesota Irvine may
find himself up against hard proposition when he
gets ready to go into his field He has given or
his Irvine that order. Should the Minnesota sup
ply fail, which it is very likely to d. he will not
know it until it is too late to get in his order with
his dealer and get the twine here time Then he
is cup against it, His only recourse would be an
action for damages against irresponsible man. It
Is a serious proposition and may end disastrousy
for some people. We have absolutely interest in
this matter except the welfare of our citizens; we
have consulted with no dealer in Irvine in regard
to it, and no dealer has consulted with us. We do
not want to see any part of the excellent crop
which to have this year, endangered or
lost on account of shortage Of twine Our country
needs every kernel of grain that we can raise, and
no one can afford to take any chances. We would
advise every farmer to look carefully into this
ter.-Starkweather Times.
Local dealers Of NIinot say they are ready to
meet all prices and extend theyusual accommodation
So don't go abroad for Irvine if you can do as we'll
here.

WILL BE SMALL FARMS.

R. B. Miller, general freight
agent of the O. R. & NJ, who
visited the Camas Prairie coun-
try last week in the interests of
his company, gave out his opin-
ion of this locality in the follow
ing words at Lewiston Thursday:
"The soil is richer-it is a rich
er country than the Palonse
country. 1t will be more thickly
populated agricultural country
than the Palouse country. Gen
eral Agent Mount and I made a
visit to Grangeville ahd Camas
Prairie. It was my first visit
there. It is a great country. 1t
is big and it is rich. 1t seems
that every foot of it is producing
something or is capable of doing
so. | consider it an ideal dairy
ing country. There is perhaps
no better dairying country in all
the northwest. The soil is too
rich and the advantages too
great for big farms to be main
tained there. 1t will be cut up
into smaller tracts and no man
will be handling more than 100
acres. 1t will become a very,
very thickly populated agricul-
tural country"

This Is Worth Trying.

An expert in Salt Lake City in
searching for a means for root
ing out the dandelion pest from
lawns claims to have found the
following effective.
Two pounds of sulphate of
iron were dissolved in two gallons
of water. 1t was then poured
into a spraying pump. In one
place a patch Of dandelions was
sprayed heavily, another patch
was sprayed medium, and the
third patch was sprayed lightly.
Inside of an hour the dandelions
were burned black as coal. The
lawn grass and the clover were
not touched and stood fresh as
ever.
The grass was not affected
where the dandelions were
sprayed the heaviest.
The dandelions were killed to
roots. The body of the roots
absorbed the sulphate, and it is
said the sprouts will not come up
from the roots again. The grass
looked brighter than any other in
the grounds.
AS the cost is light this is
worth trying. Ogden Journal.

A party of railroad officials
and grain buyers arrived in the
city Wednesday noon and con-
ferred with the business men Of
the city and the leading farmers
of the vicinity for a couple hours,
leaving later for Grangeville.
The party consisted of Alex
ander Baillie, Of Tacoma, a
partner of the Balfour, Guthrie

Blakeley, Western Traffic
Manager of the Northern Pacific,
General Superintendent B. E.

Walla Walla, the latter two
gentlemen being agents of the

The object of the members of
the party in passing through the
country at this time is to get a
definite idea of how much bust
ness to expect at the different
points as soon as the new rail-
road line is completed.
The question of shipping
faculties was taken up by Mr..
Blakeley for the railroad company
and it is more than probable
that a stockyard of at least
twenty cars capacity will be
erected at this point, as it was

A Big Fight At Twin Falls.

AS had been expected, big
fight occurred Wednesday at
Twin Falls when the democratic
state convention met. Almost
at the opening of the convention
the delegates split on Dubois and
his anti-Mormon issue and then
pandemonium reigned.
Glen Mckinley was named
temporary chairman by the
Dubois forces while K. l. Perky
was put up by the opposing side.
While Mckinley was trying to
restore order Perky mounted a
chair and proceeded to form a
permanent organization and
elect delegates to the national
convention. Mckinley cursed
and swore and tried to get the
marshal to arrest Perky but in
vain. All over the convention
hall the delegates were shouting,
cursing and shaking fists and
for a time it looked as if free for
all fights would occur and per-
haps blood be shed.
Finally the Dubois forces
realized the impossibility of
proceeding with the work of the
convention and adjourned until
evening when a second list
of delegates was elected. Fol-
lowing are the delegates elected
by the two forces:
Anti-Dubois: w. B. McFar-
land, Occur d'Alene; G. E. Erb,
Lewiston; ]. T. Pence, Ada;
D. L. Evans, Oneida; John C.
Rice, Canyon; ]. H. Hawley,
Ada. Alternates: B. Graves,
Haley; J. H. Garrett; Elmore;
w. H. Cassidy, Idaho; J. F.
Nugent, Ada; C. S. Lamberton,
Elmore; J. D. Millsap, Fremont.
Dubois: Fred T. Dubois,
Henry Heitfeld, C. H. Jackson,
Harry L. Day, Tim Regan, w.
H. Eccles. Alternates: H. w.
Lockhart, E. P. Colman, M.
Cage, J. T. Huntley and J. H.
Green.

BIG GRAIN DEALERS HERE
Besness Men and Farmers Confer With Railroad Officials
and Warehouse Men Regarding Cottonwood's Needs
GET FOUR LARGE WAREHOUSES;
And Very Probably wentCar Stockyard Needs of this
Important Shipping Point be Fully Cared For

clearly shown by the citizens and
stockmen present that Cotton
wood will no doubt be the heav-
lest shipping point on the new
road, owing to it's exceptionally
fine location.
Mr.. Baiilie sized up the situa-
tion for his company and stated
that a warehouse at least 60x200
feet in size would be built at
this place by his company this
fall, and that a much larger
house would be erected here if it
was later found advisable. He
stated further that his company
would erect their building just as
soon as the necessary arrange
ments could be made and would
have the building completed and
ready to receive grain before the
road reaches this point.
Regarding the intentions of
other grain companies Mr.. Baillie
said that the Kerr, Clifford Co.,
the Vollmer-C Clearwater Co. and
perhaps another company would
erect houses at this point, thus
assuring plenty of grain buyers
and consequently exceptionally
good prices to farmers for all
of their cereal produts.
The conference was a very
pleasant one and is certain to
result very beneficial for both
the citizens and their visitors.

WAS A TERRIFIC STORM.

Without doubt the heaviest
storm that has visited central
Idaho in years commenced We'd
nesday afternoon and continued
without interruption for a solid
twenty-four hours. The rain
fell in torrents all of the time
and, owing to the soaked con-
dition of the ground from previ-
GUS rains, all Of the moisture
that fell during the storm at
once sought a lower level and
the creeks and ravines leading
down to the Clearwater were
soon converted into raging tor
rents. These streams, pouring
in from all sides, raised the
river rapidly and by noon yester-
day the water was reported to
be standing from 8 to 10 feet
deep in the streets of Sites.
All the residents of the town fled
to the hills as the water raised.
One or two residences are re-
ported to have washed away
there and the bridges at Harp
ster and Kooskia are said to have
been washed out by the high
water. The dam at the power
site of the Grangeville electric
light plant above Harpster is
said to have been carried out by
the rushing waters and a rail-
road bridge near Kendrick was
also washed away.
1t is impossible at this writing
to learn just how much damage
was done by the high water to
towns down the river but it is
doubtful if the water got as high
at other points as at Sites. For
a time it was thought Lewiston
might suffer from the flood but
as the river is much wider there
probably no damage occurred.
