EXTRAORDINARY
DRY FARM WHEAT
Weighs 88 Pounds per Bush
Ell, Machine Measure.
Yield Twenty-nine Bushels Maehine
Measure but Weighed More Thaa
Forty Machine Must Have
Been Very Liberal.

Wheat that threshes twenty-nine bu-
shells TO the acre, and that weighs eigh-
ty-eight pounds per bushel, that was
grown without irrigation. is enough to
make any wheat grower sit up and take
notice. John r. Foulks, of Aberdeen,
has just finished threshing field of
such wheat. He had 160 acres in one
tract Part Of it was sowed late and
did not come up until spring and most of
the grain was secured from sixty acres,
yet notwithstanding the poor stand on
100 acres, the crop paid all expenses
and leaves revenue. Thirteen acres
of this field, measured and stacked sep
arate from the rest threshed twenty
nine bushels, machine measure, which
weighed lightweight pounds per bushei,
or a yield of forty and three-tenths bu-
shells per acre. The grain was threshed
by Frank Ems, whose machine meas
ures automatically, and undoubtedly
gives extra good measure. yet it is pro-
bable that the wheat is several pounds
overweight.
The part of this field that yielded SO
well was seeded October II. The re-
maing part was seeded about month
later, and did not come up until spring
The stand on the late seeding was so
poor that Mr.. Foulks was advised to
plow it up. but wisely decided not to do
so. The yield should satisfy the most
skeptical that this will become fam
Gus wheat growing section. Forty
bushels without irrigation is yield that
can not be duplicated everywhere

F. II. Kohlhepp, one of the early set
tiers of Rock creek. will remove here
for the winter. Mrs. kohlhepp has
been here for about month. He pre-
dicted when he first saw this section
that there would some day be great
town at American Falls, and believes
that his prediction is about to be full
filled. He based his opinion on the
water power and the great scope of
farming country tributary to this point.
The productiveness of the irrigated
lands are well known, but Mr.. kohlhepp
says the dry farms are doing more and
will continue to do more to make this
section renowned than the irrigated
lands. Mr.. Kohlhepp believes he is the
first man in this section to take up dry
farming.

YOUTH GETS INTO TROUBLE.
Steals $50, Is Captured in Butte, and
Admits His Guilt.

About ten days ago Ralph Abbott, a
boy who recently came here from Salt
Lake, broke into a cabin occupied by
w. L. Carlyle and took about $50 which
Mr.. Carlyle had placed in trunk. The
boy then came to American Falls and
on the Bird bought two tickets for Butte,
for himself and a young man named
Wheeler. Mr.. Carlyle did not return
to his cabin until Friday evening, when
he discovered his loss His trunk had
been broken into and the contents dis
turbed. From some Indians camped
near he learned that young Abbott was
the guilty party. He came to town
and swore cut warrant, which was
placed in the hands of Deputy Sheriff
Frank Barnard for service. Barnard
learned of the purchase of the tickets
to Butte, wired the officers there, and
by ten O'Clock that night the boys were
in Jail. Wheeler had no part in the
affair and was liberated. Mr.. Barnard
went up Sunday and brought Abbott
back and landed him in Jail. He will
probably be sentenced TO the State In
dustrial School, as he admits his guilt.
No part of the money was found on the
boy, he having spent every cent of it.

PASSING OF A PIONEER.
Tex" an Old Time Cowboy, Suddenly
Passes to His Reward.

Napolean Bonaparte Vieory. better
known AS Tex, who came TO this section
about thirty years ago, passed peace
fully away Tuesday evening, after an
illness Of less than twenty-four hours.
He was well known by the old timers.
and no history Of this section would be
complete with Tex left out. Kind heart
ed and generous. yet strong minded. he
was a dominating spirit in everything
with which he was connected.
His last illness was very short, and he
passed away as il in slumber. He was
cook at the Sparks ranch, and Monday
was about his work apparently AS well
as ever, remarking that he had eaten
heartier dinner than he had for months
previous. Tuesday morning he failed
to arise at his usual hour, and Walter
Sparks went To see what was the trou-
BILE. He found Tex very sick. feycrishly
asking for water, and in. short time
lapsing into unconeiousness. DIR. Moth
was summoned. but found him beyond
aid. Powerful stimulants were admin
istered. but without effect. The ma
chinery Of his body bad wsrn out. and
about $50 he passed away.
Tex had been member Of the Spasks
family for about thirty years, and was
a great fsyori;e with them, from child
hood 10 maturity. Very little is known
concerning him except that he came
from Texas. and had no known living
relstives. lie was supposed 10 be about
IS years Of age. but may have been old
er. Funeral services were conducted at
the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Sparks.
Wednesday, by Rev. Leiich. and the
body laid 10 rest in Falls View cemetery.
The attendance at the funeral was large.
showing the respect in which he was
held

Mrs. Dugger Catches Fine Fish.

Ii is reported that Mrs. F. A. Dug
ger, sister of Hon. James H. Brady,
caught a fish at the power station
Tuesday night The size of the fish
was not stated, but it is alleged that
Mr.. Brady feared it was not large
enough to reflect any particular credit
upon the family, so she tried again.
This time she was more successful and
securely hooked a Snake river beauty
with the speed of commet and the
strength of mule. No sooner had the
fish decided to pay quick visit to the
Minidoka dam than Mrs. Dugger con-
cluded she had made mistake and
caught a whale. Changing its mind
about going to Minidoka the fish con-
eluded TO sport about in the pool at the
foot vi the fails, but it was no sport for
Mrs. Dugger. who feared the pole
would break and then feared it would
not, because the fish was match for
her in strength. But with Carrie Ma
ton look of determination she contin-
ued to hold on. but was unable to land
the speckled beauty. w. L. Warner
finally came TO her relief and landed the
firh, which lacked little of weighing
eight and half pounds. Mrs. Dugger,
being unfamiliar with Snake river
trout, was surprised that it was. not
ten feet long and as large as a yearling
calf. Mrs. Henderson, another sister
of MIR. Brady, also landed beauty.

in reply stating that il was of inferior

I. l.. Jones brought in three bundles
of oats from his farm near Otis, Tues
day. One of the bundles was irrigated
product, the other two grown without
irrigation. The irrigated field, of
which there was about five acres, Mr..
Jones estimates will yield 100 bushels
per acre. The dry farmed field he esti-
mates at fifty bushels. The berry OF
the dry land product is plump but not
sc large ~ that Of the irrigated field.
The straw of the irrigated field was un-
usually heavy. so heavy in fact that the
elevator on his harvester could not
handle the straw and cut full swath.
