FREE TRAVELLING LIBRARY.

We have been waiting to exchange
the present case of books for a new
one, because some books have not
been returned. At present we are
short two books. Uncle Sans Sc
cret, by Austin, and The Story of
Lewis and Clark by Kingsley. The
present management has never fail
ed to send in the full case, and has
succeeded in locating several books
that were lost in times past. We
shall be sorry TO report a failure this
time. Miss Louise Johnson, the state
librarian, was in town Monday and
says she has a good case of almost
new books ready to send us but can
hold them only few days longer.
She also insists that in future we
adhere strictly to rules, by collecting
fines, letting books out only to re-
sponsible persons, that transient peo-
pie are not entitled to books and
should not ask for them, unless they
have we'll known person in town
to answer for their good faith in re-
turning the books. Miss Shaw says
the books are more widely read each
month. In fact, she is quite en-
thusiastic over the good results and
is willing to do the extra work neces-
sary to care for the books, but Meth
er Miss Shaw or the committee are
willing to make good any losses
caused by neglect to return books.
The missing books may not be at
your house, but will you, in the in
terest of the free travelling library,
ask of your friends and neighbors if
they know where these books are,
and if you can learn anything definite
phone Mrs. Byrd Trego.

GOOD POSTAL NEWS.

Postmaster Wall has been trying
for year to get the department to
allow night clerk for the Blackfoot
postoffice, and although he was de-
MED many times, he kept right after
them, and it has now been allowed.
This will enable them to keep the
work cleaned up SO they can make
prompt delivery of everything at all
times of the day. Most of the mails
come in during the night and early
morning hours, and this keeps the
clerks very busy all morning, and the
public has had to wait accordingly.
Then too, there was the disadvantage
of having the mails close at $3.50 or
7 I'M the evening, and mail posted af-
ter that time did not go out until the
next day. S
Under the new system, you can
post matter and get your mail at any
time during the night If you have a
lockbox, and If not, you can get it
earlier in the morning than hereto
fore.
Frank Wall, who has been away
since October, will handle the night
work, beginning June first, and the
time for closing mails will be as fol-
lows:

Spray Your Trees.

In the absence of any horticultural
inspector for this district, O. r..
Smith is acting without pay because
he loves the people.
1t is spraying time, and he gives
us the following advice for publica-
ton:
Spray your trees for codling moth
as soon as bloom has fallen. Do not
spray when in bloom as you will
poison the bees.
Spray No. 1.
For the moth, l consider this the
best as it will stick on better than
Spray No. Q.
Spray No. 1.-Arsnic of lead,
pounds to 100 gallons of water. This
may be made stronger by using six
pounds to 100 gallons.
Spray No. 2.-White arnic 1 H.,
Lump Salsoda lbs, dissolve in l
gallon boiling water. Use l pint Of
this to so gal. of water with 8 lbs.
Of Stacked lime. Stir well. You can
use this stronger up to quart to so
gal. but increase the lime and be
sure you don't leave it out or the
spray will burn the leaves.
Spray No. 3 for Plant Lice can
of I've. TBS. rosin; dissolve in three
gallons of water by boiling, then add
water to make Is gallons.
The sprays for the moth should be

MARKETS OF ARIZONA.

In considering the markets of Ari-
IONA it will be well also to include
the markets, of New Mexico, south.
western Texas, and northern Mexico.
This territory Is contiguous having
like climate and a similar race of
people peculiar to this section. 1t is
also under the influence of individ-
ual railroad systems which determ-
inc the markets of this entire sec
ton. Why should Idaho look for
ward to this southern country as a
market for the future? This question
is answered by the rapidly devel looping
states of this southern empire
Under the magic influence of gov
eminent irrigation projects new Cal
ifornia is rising in the deserts. Thous-
ands of people are acquiring homes
in this new land. The whole coun-
try is awakening from its sleep of
ages and will present In the future
one of our greatest markets. One
Of the greatest hopes for the future
in this market is the fact that the
products are semi-tropical, and our
potatoes and apples will find a mar
ket for all time.
This section of the country pos
sesses many large mining camps es-
pecially gold and copper. We, fv-
ing SO near to Utah and Montana,
with their gerat copper camps, pos
sibly overlook the fact that Arizona
stands first in the production OF cop
per, and these mining camps present
one of the most promising sources
of the market. Yet there are OBJ
stacles we must surmount in order
to place this market at our disposal.
Arbitrary railroad rates at present
binds this market to California and
Colorado. What is Idaho going to
do about It? Are they going to sit
down and tamely submit to these
states enjoying privilege they
ought to share? Idaho has too long
submitted to exhorbitant freight
rates. Her entire future depends
uopn Just and equitable rate to the
common market of the country and
our shippers and merchants should
awaken to this fact.
Next week I will try to describe
the markets in Texas and the South
east. T. G. BOND.

purported to be the meander line,
and the land was considered part
of the river bed at that time there
is not much question about his own
ership. The counter claim by the Pc
titioners is that the survey did not
follow the true meander line. Even
If 1t did not there is still doubt about
any right the government may have
to order a survey and permit the
entry to be taken up by other set
tiers.
In the opinion by the supreme
court in the case Of Johnson vs..
Hurst, handed down over year ago,
1t said in part: Where the govern
ment has parted with larger acre
age than 1t has received pay for by
patent to fractional lots AUDITING on
meandering stream, and the paten-
tee takes possession, under his patent
of the land between the meander line
and tn stream he Is entitled to be
protected in his title and possession
as against any and all third persons
who do not claim title from the gov
eminent"
Surveyor General Utter states that
to his knowledge there are from 20
to 80 such tracts along the Snake
river, some Of them containing as
much as 500 acres Of land, worth
probably in some instances 500 an
acre. II the department should per-
NIT this survey and allow the appli-
cants to make entry It would involve
a large number Of very valuable
ranches.

RIPARIAN RIGHTS EXPLAINED.

Riparian lands or lands lying be-
tween the center of the main channel
of a stream and the adjacent lands
regularly surveyed and plated for
acquisition under the land laws. Is
being discussed in the courts and by
the department of the interior. The
following taken from the Statesman
throws some light on the matter:
Surveyor General d. A. Utter has
knotty problem for the department
of the interior to unite which comes
sort of sequel to the recent opin-
ion of the supreme court in the case
of Johnson VS. Johnson, concerning
riparian ownership of lands border
ing navigable streams, wherein it
was held that the settlers on the
banks Of the rivers own to the CEN
ter of the channels except in case of
surveyed islands.
1t seems that in the early days
when the first surveys along the
banks of the Snake river were made
the true meander lines were not fol-
lowed closely. 1t is believed there
are. ever so many instances where the
surveyed lines cut across leaving
quite an area of land between the
meander line and the land that had
been apportioned off into lost and
sections. Generally these tracts that
were apparently overlooked are small
but some of them contain several
hundred acres.
The practice has been for the set
tiers taking up the lots which sepa-
ratethe unserveyed lands on the riv-
err bank from the public domain to
cultivate the additional acreage thus
obtained as If it were part of his
entry-there was no authority for
this but it has been universally the
case
In township south, range 81 east
there is a tract containing over 800
acres and for over 30 years 1t has
been held and cultivated by N. B.
Vickery, resident of American Falls,
in connection with the lots that were
regularly entered as public lands.
Some time ago William D. Ellis and
William A. Mower made an applica-
ton to the surveyor general to have
this tract surveyed. The. application
was denied, and the matter referred
to the department at Washington.
Yesterday letter was received from
the secretary OF the interior asking
more data concerning the status of
the land and the surveys as the rec
ords in the local land Office show.
Vickery's claim is that at the time
of the survey the. land comprising
the present acreage between the sur
vey and the meander line was low,
swampy land and was therefore con-
sidered a part of the river bed, being
under water at some seasons Of the
year: and further that the same state
of affairs existed at the time entry
was made on the adjoining land 80
years ago. Since that time there has
been gradual change until practi-
cally all of the 900 acres now lie
above high water mark. t
1t would seem under the recent
opinion in the case Of Johnson Vi.
Johnson that II the original survey
