THE IDAHO SCIMITAR.

"The establishment of these large factories has
been great boon to the farmers of the west. The
leading beet sugar states in ORDER are Colorado,
Michigan California, Utah. and Idaho In each of
the states named the farmers making much money
by raising sugar beets. They depend upon the beet
crops now, just they do their milk, their potatoes
etc. It's all nonsense to talk about beet sugar being
inferior to cane sugar. All sugar is cane sugar
whether it comes from beets cane. Sugar
It comes from beetS cane, it does not matter
There is not sugar manufacturer a chemist, or

sugar and beet sugar unless he reads the brand on

Steel Headgates.

The Register of Idaho Falls prints a most
interesting article the installation of steel head
gates in the Idaho Canal which has its headquarters
in that city.
This is departure, and indicates the substan-
tial nature of Improvement in irrigation matters in
Idaho
The Register says:
The Idaho Canal and Improvement Company,
through the resident manager Mr.. George H. Perry
has completed arrangements for the construction and
installation of hundred steel headgates to be
in concrete. This is nnovotion in canal construc-
ton so far as Idaho is concerned and is but
illustration of the progress being made along all lines
in this country which will tend to improve
ditions The steel headgates not experiment
in older settled irrigated districts but have proven
a decided success The of this modern i'm
provement in canal construction does away with
the washing out of the headgate which has proven
disastrous at times to the farmer and planter. The
gates, set they IN solid concrete, able to
withstand the heaviest water pressure and are built
last, the first cost of construction being offset by
the reduced maintenance cost These gates will be
installed a cost of $4,000 and will their
cost many times over in increased efficacy of the
water service.
While this saving in maintenance is a feature to
be considered the first and foremost fact to be borne
in mind is that by their use the canal company will
be enabled to control the water supply and in this
way positively assure the equitable di-
vision to all users it matters not where he be located
at the head or the end of the canal
This great deal to the water user, it means
that the canal company through its representatives
will be able to control the distribution and see that
each gets what he is entitled to and pays for,
a just distribution of the water.
The average headgate as built by the user or farm
is at best fimsy affair, though he puts
forth his best effort in its construction This stands
to reason the average water user is not necessarily
engineer, result the poorly constructed gate
gives way at some time and the result is flooded
field and a ruined crop. The steel head gates will
do away with this bad feature.
The Idaho Canal and Improvement Company canal
is about sixty miles in length including. the main
ditch and branches The head of the canal is located
about II miles above Idaho Falls, taking the water
from the inexhaustible Snake river, and traverses
a south and west course, supplying water to about
twenty thousand of the most fertile land in the
valley the land which produces the alfalfa, wheat,
oats, clover, potatoes and fruit whoich have made
this section of the state famous and is attracting the
eyes of the investing public and the industrious home
seeker.
The new headgates are in line with many improve
ments going in all directions and lines, all ofwhch
help bring the fertility and bigness of this vast
irrigated agricultural region into and better
public notice.

A Candidate with a Rare Trait.

Though Editor Mercer is a candidate for a
state office, that is seldom mentioned in his
paper, the Fitzgerald Enterprise, while he de-
votes much space and puts in many effective
ticks for his friend, Governor Smith. He, is
unable to stay out of a warm fight even when
he takes the risk of mourning the enmity of
those who may lie his own supporters. If
voters love a fighter, and they do, Editor
Mercer, ought to win hands down.-Moultrie
Observer.
Editor Mercer and Candidate Mercer are two
separate personages. Candidate Mercer is cam
paigning along the lines that Editor Mercer has
always set down in the Enterprise as being the
kind he believed right While he could of course
have occupied the columns of the Enterprise
forthe purpose ofadvancing his own campaign,
he has seen fit rather to do the campaigning in
another manner. While he has not lostsight al
together of his being before the people for their
suffrage, he has felt it his duty to lend what
ever strength the Enterprise might have forany
cause which he believes to be for the bestinter
ests of Georgia.
Doubtless he has made some enemies by talk
but he believes that he also gained many in the
ranks of the fearless yeomanry OF the state that
has ever stood for clean politics and with fear
less mien against corruption. Had the issues of
the present campaign not lined up as they have
no doubt but the Enterprise would have been
used more freely by Candidate Mercer; but as
things stand Candidate Mercer has sacrificed

his support as Editor regardless of the couse-

Enterprise.
That is a rare trait seldom found in the
political world-a man, Notwithstanding he is
candidate. himself, coming out boldly for
what he believes is right, and to the best inter
ests of his county and state, regardless of the
consequences to his own political aspirations,
Only IL few weeks ago Mercer was in the thick
est of the fight championing the cause of can
ddate for representative of his home county
and, it is needless to say. his candidate won
by good majority. Doubtless by his bold
stand in that contest he lost votes at home,
but his honesty of purpose aud fearless stand
for what he conceived to be right should gain
him hundreds of friends elsewhere for every
one he lost at home. The News believes that
the right will ultimately triumph, though the
outlook at times may be dark and gloomy
