State Land Board Highest Law
In Carey Land Contest.

On Monday last decision was hand
ed down by the Idaho supreme court
sustaining the decision Of Judge Edward
A. Walters Of the fourth judicial dis
trict, which is Of Importance and inter-
est to all those holding land or acquir-
ing it under the Carey act.
Inasmuch as the South and North
Side Twin Falls project and the Idaho
Irrigation project are being constructed
under the provisions Of the Carey act
this matter is Of special interest TO
Lincoln county.
The precise point involved was to
what extent could contest Of & Carey
act claim be carried, and at what point
does litigation Of this nature terminate.
The case in point was entitled Pear
son VS.. The State Board Land Commits
sioners. The facts being that Pearson
had filed a contest with the State Land
Board against the entry Of c. S. Love
land for certain lands situate IN Twin
Falls county.
The State Land Board decided this
controversy in favor Of Lovelsnd, and
Pearson sought TO appeal to the district
court Of the fourth judicial district
which is the judicial district in which
the land is situated.
The Atty. General, representing the
state, insisted that an appeal did not
lie from the action Of the State Land
Board, while counsel for Pearson urged
that the law was broad enough TO grant
them the right Of appeal to the district
court and from that to the supreme
court.

MODEL CHICKEN-DAIRY RANCH.
Chickens and Cows are a Money.
Making Combination.

Two miles west o. Shoshone is an 80
acre tract for which its owner has re-
fused ten thousand dollars ard yet this
SO acre tract has more rough land on it
than it has good farm land. This value
has been added to this small tract Of
land by the brains and skill of Frank
Millsaps, the proprietor, who has con
verted it into a model dairy and chicken
ranch
In the chicken line he has built two
large chicken houses Of the latest and
most approved designs. He has an in
cubator cellar and 2 brooder house
where he last year raised seven thous-
and chickens. He has several varieties
of chickens, Barred Rocks. Rhode IS
land Reds. White Wyandotts. Buff
Rocks, Black Minorcas and others. but
all of them of the best breeds. He
contends that it Is as easy to raise
CHICKEN as a chicken and YOU have
sowething for your trouble when you
are through
In his incubator cellar ne has six
large machines and during the busy
season an attendant sleeps in the cellar
to attend to any thing that might arise.
An electric bell is so arranged that at
any time the brooder house gets either
too warm or too cold the bell warns the
attendant of the fact and calls for help.
Mr. Milisaps has a model barn for
the eighteen cows he is now milking
and from which he supplies many Sho-
shone families each day with the real
stuff in cream and milk.
Near his dwelling house, which by
the way is a modern cottage heated by
a furnace and lighted by electricity.
ne has a machinery hall in which a two
horse electric motor does the drudgery
of several hands by turning the separ-
ator, the bone grinder, the feed mill
and running the pump for the private
water works.
Mr. Millsaps' water works consists of
a large steel tank buried in the ground
and so arranged that when the water
is pumped into it the compression of
the air within soon becomes great
enough to f, rec the water through the
pipes into the house and wherever need
ed on the place.
Health. wealth and independence are
stamped all over this ranch. Even the
chickens and cows seem proud to be
long to such a model Institution and
contribute their share to the prosperity
of the owner and master. Frank Mill
saps is today, with his farm. friends I
and family. richer man in the enjoy
ment of life than any mere millionaire
on earth.

SHOSHONE'S NEW BAND.
Promise of a Brilliant Future as a
Musical ORGANIZATION.

The Shoshone band is to be congrat-
ulated on securing the services of Prof.
McDerby as instructor and the city is
in luck in having an excellent band for
public occasions without having to send
abroad for one.
In regard to raising funds, this is
what one of the boys says:
1T should be remembered that the
band bows have never asked for con-
tributions from the citizens TO pay for
their instruction. This and all other
expenses of the band have been paid
out of the band treasury. Every cent
the band has earned as a band has been
turned into the treasury for this pur-
pose.
Several of the business men have
offered to pay a monthly sum to the
band to help them pay for their instruc-
ton, but the boys don't feel that they
want TO have the citizens do this. They
would rather give some sort OF enter
tainment as long as the occasion re-
auires. and by everybody turning out
it helps the band besides the boys feel
that they have given the people some
thing in return for their money Also
bv doing this way everybody helps and
il they relied on subscription most likely
the burden would fall on a few.
1T takes money to run band, and
