MADE DRY FARMING PAY.
Farmer With Grit and Determination
Has Been Successful.

The st. Anthony Chronicle tells Of
a "dry farmer" by the name OF
Nicholas F. Newby, who located on
the Rexburg Qdaho) bench eight
years ago, taking a claim of 100
acres. He was without capital, but
was we'll supplied with industry, de-
termination and muscle.
His land was so located that he
GOULD not avail himself Of irrigation
facilities and so he farmed It by the
dry process. That is, he depended on
the moisture from the clouds, which
falls meagrely and not much of 1t In
the growing season. But he applied
the science OF culture to the soil and
conserved the scant moisture that de-
scended upon his acres.
The first year he harvested 400
bushels OF wheat. That was his start.
Last year. the eighth year, he har-
vested 1000 bushels Of wheat and 500
bushel OF potatoes. The potatoes were
grown on an acre and a quarter Of
ground.
That is at the rate OF 25 bushels Of
wheat per acre, about double the av-
erage yield in the hard wheat belt Of
the humid prairie region. What does
one want Of so much rain when one
can raise more grain without It? 1t
only muses. up the land.
1t is told further by the st. Anthony
paper that this industrious "dry far
mer" has accumulated in eight years,
beginning with nothing but a patch

MORE STRENGTH
IN MONEY MARKET
HENRY CLEWS SAYS VAL
UES ARE INCREASING
Dlstrua Is Vanishing and Confidence
Is Strong--All Departments of Bus
iness Show Signs of Improvement
Money Is Easier and Conditions
Clearing.

Henry Clews says of the vastly i'm
proved financial conditie-s of the
east following the mond iurry Of a
few months ago: 1xt
So far as Wall street Is concerned,
values seem to be really scratching
bottom, and bad news now exerts lit
tie effect because the worst is gen.
erally known and has been amply
discounted. The recent Improvement
In the money market is now having
its effect upon securities; the better
class of investments being firmly held
in view OF the abundance and COM
parative cheapness of money.
The reduction in the bank of Eng
land rate OF 31a per cent was also a
helpful feature, indicating improve
ment abroad and relief from the ten
sion which developed very soon af-
ter our October panic. The most sat
sfactory feature, however, is the
gradually improving undertone of the
stock exchange, coupled with various
and scattered indications OF reviving
confidence.
While dullness is not confined to
the security markets, but prevails in
all departments Of business, there Is
evidence that the prolonged period Of
rest, about which we have been COM
planning for the last three months, is
having beneficial effect. Dlstruct
is gradually vanishing. and the finan-
cial structure shows signs of increas-
ing strength.
Even in the merchandise markets
buyers are beginning to operate with
more confidence, particularly where
prices have been allowed to decline
sufficiently to establish a basis for a
fresh forward movement.
There are fewer shutdowns than a
month ago; mills are resuming more
freely; the number of unemployed is
diminishing; failures, though large in
February, were so per cent less than
in January, and decreases in railroad
earnings were not so heavy in Febru-
ary as in Jenuary In nearly all de-
partments Of business there are signs
that depression is less acute, and that
recuperative forces are steadily at
work-only needing to be let alone to
, exert themelves more positively and
with greater benefit.
Unfortunately the political situa-
tion is a serious deterrent, and recov-
cry is much handicapped by the in
temperate and frequently idiotic cru
sades carried on In the form of anti
capital, anti-railroad, anti-corpora-
ton, anti-option, anti-speculation
and various other anti movements.
Just now our legislatures are
threatened with an epidemic Of i'm
prudent measures, which, IL not
checked, will prolong and aggravate
the panic from which We might quick
ly emerge If common sense and nas-
ural forces were allowed reasonably
free play.

TO BENEFIT THE FARMERS.
Chairman of Committee on Agricul-
tnre Has New Plan.

The chairman of the committee on
agriculture in the lower house OF
congress, Mr.. Scott, halls from Kan
sas and must therefore have con-
siderable proportion of farmers among
his constituents, says a Washington
dispatch. At any rate, Mr.. Scott pro-
poses to do something practical for
farmers.
He is impressed with the fact that
the millions of bulletins issued annu-
ally for the guidance of tillers OF the
soil are of little beneficial effect, and
he is absolutely right. They repre-
sent a waste of money, paper, time
and ink. They contain Information
highly valuable. but most of the gen.
erous issues fail to reach the pro-
ducers they would benefit and many
OF those that are scattered In fruitful
places are couched in such technical
terms that the agriculturist may be
unable to interpret unless he has a
technical education.
Mr.. Scott proposes a new bureau OF
the agricultural department from
which demonstrators will be sent out
in large numbers and scattered over
the land. They will carry into farm.
ing communities the agricultural in
formation accumulated by the scen-
lists of the department and give prac-
teal Illustrations OF its value in the
production of crops. His plan in
cludes hundred experimental farms
OF one acre in each county of four ag-
ricultural states, where methods OF
crop growing will be taught, farmers
to do the work under the direction or
experts.
After what has been done by Sec
retary Wilson in enlarging the useful
ness of the department of agriculture,
one will admit that it Is possible for
hi INTO completely revolutionize the
system of farming with sufficient as
sistance in the way of appropriations
of public money
Mr.. Scott believes that the plan he
favors will double the yield of crops
over broad acres in a few years and
will greatly increase the value OF all
agricultural land. The population OF
the earth Is all the time In search OF
something to eat and any process that
will help satisfy the demand for food
will become of immense value. All
OF the west will become interested in
his project

A SMOKELESS SMOKER.
Tutuilla Camp of the Modern Wood
men OF America, Enjoyed a Novel
Event Last Evening.

One of the most novel and pleasing
lodge events of the winter was the
"smokeless smoker" held by Tutuilla
camp No. 6399 at Odd Fellows hall
last night. Each member furnished
his own smoke, but the camp had pre-
pared a delightful musical and dra-
matte program and a banquet, which
was highly enjoyed.
During the entire evening Johnson's
orchestra played for the entertain
ment and the company Of colored
people who will give an entertain.
ment at Eagles hall tonight furnish
ed vocal music and dancing for the
evening. Some Of the songs and
dancing was exceptionally good and
the company is highly praised by the
camp.
During the evening a boxing bout
between ]. w. Bowers, an ex-pugillst,
and H. NJ. Elder, was enjoyed. The
banquet was an unique affair, the
members standing at the table while
weinerfursts, sot saeur graut and cof-
fee were served. Over 100 we're
present. The camp has added a large
number of new members during the
membership campaign which has been
conducted by Linmore Pierce in the
past few weeks

AGAINST PROHIBITION.
HOpgrOwers Take a Decided Stand in
California.


A dispatch from Sacramento, Cal,
states that the Pacific Coast Hop
growers Union has at last taken defi-
mite and decisive steps to oppose the
prohibition movement, plan that has
heen under consideration for some
time, says the Salem Statesman.
1t is also stated that certain
changes will be made in the bylaws
and that the association may not be
fully organized until next fall.
In oregon the movement has not
been fully given up, but the work of
organization is practically at IA stand
still and 1t is probable will remain so
until after a meeting of the directors
and uniform plan of procedure map
ped out, with some radical changes
in the bylaws. Following is the
Sacramento dispatch:
At meeting of the Sacramento
valley branch of the Pacific Hopgrow-
ers' union here today resolutions were
passed condemning the spread OF the
prohibition movement and an urgent
telegram was sent to Congressman
McKinlay of the second California
district, calling upon him to do all in
his power to keep the country from
going dry by opposing the prohibition
movement now before congress.
Another resolution was adopted
calling for the decrease of hop acreage
this year by 30 per cent Members
of the union state that the brewers
are so alarmed at the spread OF the
prohibition movement that they will
not buy any of the heavy surplus of
hops now in California warehouses,
and absolutely refuse to discuss pur-
chase of this seasons crop.

TAPPED TELEPHONE LINE.
Prominent Farmer Near Lewiston on
Trial for Making Connections to
Party Wire.

Trial for Making Connections to
Party Wire.
The case of the state Of Idaho vs..
A. f. Harrington is set for trial to-
morrow at 10 o'clock in Justice of
the Peace Erbs court. Harrington
is charged with tapping a telephone
system in the Cottonwood creek sec
ton and installing an instrument
without the consent of the telephone
company, says the Lewiston Tribune.
The arrest of Harrington is said to
be the result of a DISAGREEMENT In the
telephone company and It is expect
ed the company's troubles will be
aired in court tomorrow. 1t Is stated
that at the time the company was or
ganized Harrington was one Of the
phone. but when it was found that
too many subscribers had been secur-
ed to handle on the charter of the
line installed a portion of the dlrec-
tors were favorable to cutting the
name of Harrington from the list.
Others were favorable to Harrington
and preferred to have the name OF
some other subscriber dropped. This
was the situation when Harrington
made his connection with the tele-
phone line. and he has since enjoyed
the benefits of rural telephone SER
vice while the company has been en-
deavoring to reach some agreement.
The Harrington system has been. in
terrupted for brief periods by the
company's linemen severing the con-
nections, but only short time was re-
quired to restore the service and Mr..
Harrington has at all times been able
to use the hello" neighborhood line
