NEW YORK HIPPO
DROME'S BIGGEST SHOW.

The New York Hippidrome open
its season Saturday evening, Septem

which they promise will eclipse any
thing ever done in this country The
policy has been for bigger things in
every direction and when one tries
to do bigger things than have been
done at the Hlppodrome, 1t reaches
the colossal. This seasons presen-
tation will be in 10 great scenes and
a feature of each will be that the ef-
feet produced will not be stage real

thing itself. That is why the organi-
zation starts off with a thousand peo,
pie and a hundred horses, to say
nothing of the circus.

open on a college campus, with a
baseball game in progress This will
be played by picked mines, who
throughout the summer have been
coached by John j. McGraw, the
doughty captain of the New York
Giants. Following the ball game, the
visitors who have occupied the
grandstands will be invited to cir
Gus performance. And here is where
a real hippodrome novelty will occur.
The circus caravan will drive on the
stage, band wagons pole wagons,
cages and other vehicles carrying
just as we all saw the
circus come to town when we were
boys. The tent will then be raised
in full view of the audience. Beneath
this the novelty circus will take
place. For the arenic features this
season, the management will open

With an average Of $4,000 tons OF
water falling in the form Of rain on
each mile Of public road In the Uni
ted States annually, 1t is scarcely to
be marvelled at that the 10 COM
mandments OF the road builder can
be summed up succinctly in the word
Drainage"
The saying has truth for a basis,
as good drainage Is the primary re-
quisite for all roads. Even in sand
roads this holds true, for there good
drainage" means such as will safely
remove the storm water without ero-
sion or outlying and still retain the
surface moisture.
To secure good drainage one must
take into consideration both the sur
face water and the underground wa
ter. The surface water must be re.
moved quickly and completely with
out subjectlng the road to excessive
scour or erosion. For this reason,
the center of the road should be rails
ed and the slope towards the side
bitches should be from one-half to
one inch to each foot distance, or so
that the water will run freely to the
side ditches and not flow down the
road or remain in puddles on the
roadway.
The side bitches should be of am
pie size TO care for the severest storms
with fall Of not less than six inches
TO each 100 feet. Frequent and am
pie cross drains should be construct |
ed and every opportunity taken to
get the water away from the road as
quickly as possible.
Any road along which you see wa
ter standing in the side bitches or
on which puddles of water have col !
lected or which has been badly gull
He'd and eroded by the rains has poor
drainage and is in need of immediate
attention. In fact earth roads nearly
always require a little attention after
each rain.
The split-log drag is essentially a
tonl 70 maintain good drotnoya On our
earth roads, and should be used after
each rain. On a heavy clay or gum
bo soil the drag when properly used
tends to puddle the road surface, keep
It free from ruts, dents and hard, thus
securing the best surface drainage
possible.
But in many places the underground
water its near the surface and must
be removed before good road will
be possible. This means that some
form of sub-drainage must be resort
ed to, usually tile drains, of clay or
concrete. II
Water from whatever source must
be gotten rid of effectively, for water
plus clay or gumbo invariably equals ,
mud when mixed in spring anr sum-
mer Water becomes ice in winter ,
and as water in freezing expands {
its volume, the road heaves I
out of shape and when the ice melts r
the road disappears beneath the ris- I
ing tide of mud constantly fed by I
rains, melting SHOWS and underground ,
springs. +
In seepy and boggy places the SUBJ 4
drainage in order to be fully effec- t
tive should lower the water level TO z
not less than three feet below the r
road surface II tiles are used they n
should be carefully laid true to
grade. Most failures in tile drainage n
,an be attributed to carelessness in b
aging, or too flat grade Tile less s
han four inches in diameter should s
'arely be used, nor should a grade of o
ess than six inches to the 100 feet b

Change in Reed & Ellinger Company

H. r. Struthers, of Chicago, has
associated himself with G. S. Ellinger,
as agents Of the American Falls Devel-
opment Company, and becomes an ac-
tive member. Mr.. Ellinger, who has
been the active member of the Reed &
Ellinger Company, lately purchased all
interests in that concern and has formed
copartnership with Mr.. Struthers and
hereafter the business will be conducted
under the firm name Of Ellinger &
Struthers.
Mr.. Struthers is man Of ability and
wide business experience, having been
engaged in the sash and door business
in Chicago for eighteen years, in which
he built up large and prosperous con-
cern. Last summer he came 10 Idaho
for rest and recreation, and upon retnrn-
ing home took with him the microbe
which attaches itself to everyone COM
ing to this country. Chicago no longer
presented former charms and he longed
to return to the land of sunshine and
opportunity, with the result that he
disposed of his business and will make
/ American Falls his future home, 70
which he will remove his family in the
/ spring.
His splendid business equipment and
+ vast experience makes him most de,
sirable acquisition to the energetic men
who are building up this great country,
and We bespeak for the new firm the
same aattering success which it enjoyed
under the old title.

ANOTHER TREAT AT AUDITORIUM
Willard Mack in "On Parole" Next
TUESDAY, Evening.

American Falls Theatre goers are to
have another treat on the 18th. When
the Georgia Harper company came here
for week to fill in it was a streak of
good fortune. Companies of such merit
are rarely seen in the smaller places,
and every production was highly meri-
torious. On the 29th, Willard Mack. IN
"0n Parole, I" will be seen here. Mack
has just completed a two weeks en-
gagement at the Colonial, the finest
theatre in Salt Lake, where he was
given crowded house every night.
The Salt Lake papers speak of him and
his play in the highest terms of praise.
Mr.. Campbell, United States land in
spector, who has been here for the past
several days, had the pleasure of at
tending one of Mack's performances
there, and says it is indeed fine. Mack
is a favorite in Salt Lake, as he is wher-
ever known, and should be given a good
house. On the S0th the second number
of the lyceum course will be gwen.

SECOND NUMBER LYCEUM COURSE
Colonial Saxaphone Quartette at Audi

The second number of the Midland
Lyeeum Bureau course will be given at
the Auditorium December 80. The
Colonial Saxophone Quartette, vocalists
of high order as we'll as splendid in
strumental performers, are sure to
please. The endorsements of the
Colonial Saxophone Quartette and of
Miss Lynn are fully as good as those of
Denton Crowl who entertained his audi
ence for eighty minutes, and then quit
too soon. For versatility this entertain
ment is said to equal anything in the
entire lyceum course. Miss Lynn's
readings, versatile in character, are in
terspered with instrumental and vocal
selections, the whole making very
pleasing program.

ENCOURAGE SUGAR BEET GROWING ON CAREY LAND
Officers of Canal Association Seeking Assurances of
Building of Railroad With View to Encouraging Grow
ing of Sugar Beets the American Falls Carey Tract

The governing board of the Ameri-
can Falls Canal Association is taking
steps looking to the growing of sugar
beets. The following extract is taken
from a letter written by Arthur ].
Snyder, secretary of the association.
'fYou may say in the Press. if you
wish, that the Canal Association has
asked the Beet Sugar Company of
Utah and Idaho TO investigate our
ability to raise one thousand acres of
beets for the Blackfoot factory next
year provided that means of deliver
ing the same be provided and that the
manager of the Sugar company has
written the secretary promising to
send man to look over the field. We
wish to encourage every settler, who
has land suitable to beet culture, 20
raise few acres of beets next year.
We do not advocate a large acreage
until the land is in better shape but be-
lieve that 1000 acres could be raised
under this canal next year, 1900 the
year following. and an increasing
acreage yearly"
This is step in the right direction.
Diversified farming should be the rule.
1t has been demonstrated that the su-
gar beet grows to perfection in the up
per Snake river valley. Not every far
mer is painstaking enough to grow su-
gar beets successfully, but those who
are can figure with reasonable certainty
upon net returns of $50 an acre or
more. Until experience is gained these
returns may not be received, but with
experience they should be increased in
many instances. The crop is marketed
at a tixen price, with a demand for all
that can be grown.
Nothing but fruit will increase the
value of land so much as the growing
of sugar beets. The building of the
sugar factory at Idaho Falls increased
the market price of land from s25 to
500 in year. In Fremont county,
land that could have been purchased for
$50 to $S5 an acre, before the building of

Cheap Money for Real Estate Loans.

Mr.. Clyde NJ Gray, of the firm OF
Gray & Gray, of Pocatello, informs US
that they have arranged to represent
the Van Kleeck-Bacon Investment Co.,
of Denver, in making loans secured by
improved farm property in Pocatello
and the territory tributary to it.
This company was incorporated under
Colorado laws to continue the busi-
ness established since 1879 by Henry
Van kleeck and the late Alfred 7. Bacon.
Its principal Office is in Denver, and it
is making real estate loans throughout
Colorado, Wyoming, Montana and
Idaho. The plan of loaning is ex-
tremely favorable to borrowers, the
loans being made for long time at low
rates of interest, without commission,
to the borrower, which is paid by the
company, together with the expense of
examination of title and prepara-
ton of the papers. The company being
a western concern, familiar with local
conditions, is prepared to accept all
good business promptly, without the
delay incurred in submitting applica-
tions to principals at the east. 1t in
vests its own funds in these loans,
which it distributes among its clients,
from whom it finds the demand for such
investments is greater than the supply.
The company is fortunate in securing
excellent representatives at Pocatello,
and Gray & Gray are to be congratu-
lated on making such good connection
for its loaning department. The COM
bination will be the means of introdue-
ing much outside capital to assist in
the development of Bannoek county and
its vicinity. We call attention to the
advertisement of Gray & Gray in an
other column and feel we can recommend
them as a firm where all business will
receive prompt and careful attention.

BARTEL OUT OF 1T.
Stories Too Modest to Command Ad-
miration or Respect.

g. A. Bartel was in from Aberdeen,
Tuesday, and told of writing an Okla
homa man that 43 bushels of wheat
had been grown per acre near Aberdeen.
As the man was living near brother of
Albert Pletz, Mr.. Bartel referred him
to Mr.. Pletz for further information,
believing that by so doing the unusual
yields he reported would be more read
lily accepted. In due time Mr.. Pletz
received letter reciting Mr.. Bartel's
letter and insinuating that the latter
had been romancing. Mr.. Pletz replied
with twelve page letter, in which he
recited some of the dry farm yields,
stating that he would take oath that he
had seen fields of dry land wheat yield
ing fifty bushels or more per acre
''You are out of it now" he said to Mr..
Bartel when he met him recently. "a
have taken all the responsibility from
you and made the yields so much great
er than you reported that your state
ments viii not be questioned"
His Oklahoma correspondent may be
inclined to place Mr.. Pletz in the Ana.
Mas club, but the reports of Mr.. Pletz
can be verified. He told him Okla.
homa people did not know anything
about big yields, but if they would take
the trouble to come to Idaho and invest
igate they would soon learn.

RECOGNIZE OUR SUCCESS
In DRY FARMING.
Rainfall at American Falls Accepted as
a Standard.

A statement has recently been re-
ceived from Edward L. Wells, section
director of the U. S. weather service at
Boise, showing the monthly and annual
precipitation at American Falls from
the year of 1893 to the present time.
This tabulated statement was sent at
the request of the cooperative observer
located at Shoshone for the purpose of
making comparisons between Oneida
and Lincoln counties with regard to
their respective adaptability for dry
farming 1t is we'll known that dry
farming is very successful in Oneida
county and this table shows the amount
of rainfall which makes it so successful.
The precipitation at American Falls the
first eleven months of the present year
was 11.24 inches, while for the period
from 1903 to 1907, inclusive, the average
annual precipitation was 1905 inches.
The extremes range from 10.48 inches
In 1905 to 20. 48 in 1907. 1t may be of
interest to the farming community to
know the mean precipitation at Ameri-
can Falls for each month of the year
