KCUMBER WILL

Will CONTINUE TO ACETATE NATIONAL
INSPECTION AS LONG As He IS IN
THE SENATE.

Washington, Jan. o. Just as
long as l remain in the senate,
just so long will the agitation be
kept up for legislation of grain"
Senator McCumber was the
speaker and he was in earnest
about it. He is glad to know
that the house committee is get
ting ready for a public hearing on
the bill, and notes that the senate
committee has been at that work
now for some time. Whether
there will be legislation this ses-
sion he does not know, but in all
probability there will not be. But
that will make no difference. Nc
Cumber will keep the question
alive, not only at this session, but
next session and all future sessions
of his senatorial service.
1T is absurd to say that the
general government cannot DO
what several states are doing in
this matter" he says, "and in time
this statement will be shown to be
unworthy of serious attention. OF
course there are certain interests
in all states which find it protita-
BILE to continue under the state in

quite naturally, do not want the
change. But because they DO not
want it, it does not necessarily
follow their position is the correct
one.
Farming interests are begin
ming to get awake, and they are
favoring legislation. | have been
advised that the farmers of the
southern states are getting into

welcome, for it will line up the

CROP CONDITIONL.

The protrscted rainy spell over
this entire section has had q re-
suit that will prove disastrous and
serious to this part Of the State.
The cotton crop which was very
promising few week ago, is seri.
ously injured. The general esti-
mate Of the damage is at least IF.
ty per cent.
The corn crop has not suffered
rs much, hut there is some loss
that the farmers must feel.
The cane. however. has been
bene6ttd by the shake Of the wind
and abundant rain, and this sea-
sou cane will prove the best crop.
During the present week the,
boil weevil has made it's appear.
auce in nearly every field. and is
doing very serious damage. Its
work is attacking the squares and
smaller bolls. The planters say:
look at the cotton aud if you s-e
no overs you are sure the weevil
is doing it's work of destruction.
The cotton planters are looking
gloomy over the present situation,
and are thinking about what they
will do the coming season.

For Rural Routes.

Postmaster Geo. L. Wall desires
to call attention to the practice OF
some patrons of rural delivery of
placing loose coins in their box each
time they desire to dispatch letters
instead of supplying themselves with
postage in advance of their needs.
This practice imposes undue hard
ship on rural carriers in removing
loose coins from boxes and delays
them on the service of their routes.
The postmaster, therefore, urgent
ly requests that patrons of rural de-
livery provide themselves and keep
on hand a supply of stamps consistent
with and in advance of their needs.
1t is also very desirable that rural
patrons place in their mail boxes
small detachable cups Of wood or tin
in which to place coins, when neces-
sary, in purchasing supplies of
stamps.

Mayor Younie caught the Dry
Farm fever down at Salt Lake last
week, came home with a good strong
case of it, and he is going to make
it contagious, too, If he handles the
subject to the farmers with the same
force and energy used in this Office.
He does not think it has been given
as much thought and study by the
farmers as should be. They should
get rim touch with this way of culti-
waiting the soil, by writing to Fisher
Harris, the secretary at Salt Lake.
If you will enclose $1.00 you will be-
come yearly member and get all
the proceedings of this congress, in
Guiding addresses by men who have
made it study, and succeeded in
getting practical results. One man
lost three CROPS experimenting, but
has mastered the process and this
year raised 10000 bushels of grain.
He is ready and willing to give be-
ginners the benefit of his experiences
if he can only get in touch with the
farmers. Mr.. Younie thinks Dry
Farming would add millions to this
inter-mountain country, but that Ida
no should have an experiment sta
ton, either maintained by the State
or the U. S. government. Congress
man French has before the present
House a bill to create one of these
stations in Idaho that will be watch
ed with interest. Before leaving,
Mayor Younie said, II think you peo-
pie do not realize the worth of such
congress, it was intensely interest
ing, and valuable to the whole of the
semi-arid west. Why, arid Arizona
is poisoning like rose under Dry
Farming" We think our farmers
would do well to see Mayor Younie
when they come to town and let
him tell them of the details of the
work as explained by those who have
been successful; he claims there are
many advantages over irrigation.

Carl Machold Before Supreme Court.

The Boise Statesman in reporting
the cases before the supreme court
last week says:
Carl Machold, Bingham county
farmer, appeared in his own behalf
yesterday in the supreme court, when
argument was heard in the case of
Carl Machold, respondent, VS.. Rosa
Faran, appellant, an appeal from the
district court of that county.
The action of the lower court was
brought by Mrs. Faran to recover
property which she had contracted to
sell to Machold in default of deferred
payments for the same, and resulted
in a Judgment in favor of the de-
PENDANT, whereupon an appeal was
taken. In the district cout W. A.
Beakley represented Mr. Machold, but
differences arose between client and
counsel and the farmer decided to an
swer the appeal in person.
His argument yesterday was by
the spectators present considered I'M
usual for one not professionally in
the practice of law, as he understood
that he must confine himself to the
facts before the court, and proceeded
to do so. Arguments for the appel
ant were made several days ago.
Note: Mr. Machold informs us
that the name A. T. Ryan should have
been used instead of W. A. Beakley
as his former attorney.

United States Land Office.
Gentlemen:
There has been industriously cir
culated by way of newspaper adver-
tisements, and otherwise, over the
name of F. P. Rolfe, statements to
the effect that Congressman Tawney,
after conference with the Commits
sioner of the General Land Office, ad-
vised his son that persons filing on
the Oregon and California railroad
lands would, without doubt, be able
to secure the lands. These advertise
ments are untrue and misleading.
The tendency of such advertisements
is to impose upon innocent and un-
suspecting persons. You will please
give as wide publicity as possible to
the statements set forth.
Very respectfully, ''
r. A. BALLINGER,

will reach the western park entrance
for breakfast the following morning.
This means that much more park

previous year and that Livingston,

have something to compete with in
earnest from now on.
