Capital for IRRIGATION.

The Twin Falls News speaks of the with
which capital is now being secured for the develop
ment of Idaho irrigation projects under the Carey
act The Twin Falls section is present example
of what can be done in the way of development by
turning the heretofore undirected water of the
streams upon the land 1t is profitable to the cap
italst and to the producer who buys the water The
News says:
Two powerful companies, the Bull Kimberly
poration and the Kuhn brothers of Pittsburg,
seeking the privilege of retaining half million
acres in Twin Falls and Owyhee counties, between
the Salmon and Bruneau rivers. 1t is singular that
such competition should have been made possible by
the very who engaged in it. Until recently
it difficult task to interest capital in Idaho
irrigation enterprises The government reclamation
service maintained continuous campaign against
private enterprise in this state, using its press bu
in the INSCRIPTIONS work. The service stands
today beaten and discredited in this part of the
country while private enterprise is forging ahead and
performing wonders. The Twin Falls project has
given the lie to the reclamation defamers and has
convinced capital of the practicabilty of the Carey
act and the immense advantages in its operation
that of the tapeswadd1ed and crablike reclamation
law. Capital is glad to invest in Idaho irrigation
securities 1t camors for the opportunity. 1t
hard fought battle and the honors belong to
Twin Falls the biggest and best irrigation enterprise
in America and the target for all the jealous para
sites in the country

Every citizen of the state of Idaho who is con-

nor Mr.. Rounds have committed crime OF any
kind; they have done nothing but their sworn duty

out the shadow of an excuse they have been per,

By letters and kilograms Mr. Borah had led c.

Washington wired Mr.. Hansbrough to meet him at

he made his report and had Mr.. Borah, who was

that his report had already been wired in and the

he knew it at the time This was Saturday, and
the Boise Statesman on Sunday morning contained

The Salmon Recorder remembers something that

reference to the transaction:
The pretext upon which Ruick was discharged as

they did not inquire into the matter whether he
owed the bill not. Let's see! Seems to the Re-

mains unpaid. Some will continue to think that he

I'm UnWeIcOme Intruder.

The Paris Post makes mention of farm pest that
has appeared in that neighborhood but does not
state definitely what it is If it is the Russian
thistle it ought to be eradicated before it gains
foothold The Post says
The Russian thistle, what is sometimes called
the Canadian thistle, is getting quite start in this
valley and it is becoming a serious menace to the
farmers where it has gotten a start 1t is probably
of the worst if not the worst weeds that grows,
and one of the worst to get rid of. 1t increases
faster than any other weed. One plant will pro-
duce thousands of seeds and wherever it gets start
it is very hard to get rid Of 1t grows thrifty that
it chokeS out grain vegetables wherever appears
and 1t is more to be dreaded than any other weed.
Our farmers will do we'll to carefully watch for
this pest and it appears their farms
spare no time or means to eradicate it for if it
gets start it will be difficult to get rid Of Mr.
John Roberts of Lanark has discovered it on his
farm and doing all in his power to eradicate it.
He is of the opinion that he imported it in alfalfa
seed.
The Russian thistle is so distinct a type of the
thistle family that it need not be COMPOUNDED with
the Canadian thistle In its maturity it is tumble
weed, round and laden with seeds, its gobek for
nation often attaining diameter of six feet In the
spring it is tender and nutritious, affording excel
lent pasturage But it is too dangerous weed to
be encouraged as food plant
1t belongs to the semi-arid regions and would
spread with great rapidity in this section of the
west. After ripening the plant becomes detached
from the root and starts its travels 1t will run
before the wind thousand miles, unless halted
by obstruction, distributing its seeds, of which
each plant contains uncountable number.
The Russian thistle was introduced into the south
counties of South Dakota in 1878 by Russian i'm
migrants and from that beginning it seeded half
dozen prairie states. For time it threatened to
smother the field crops of that section But the ser
les of dry seasons during which it gained foot
hold was succeeded by a series of wet seasons,
which still prevail, and plenty of moisture has nearly
exterminated the plant in that section. At least,
moisture has deprived it of its power to do harm,

Mormon Money.

Weser American-Some of the Mormon subs-
died papers of the state trying to make capital
out of the statement published in the American two
weeks ago that attorneys in Oregon claim in de-
tense of their clients that they be convicted of
illegal cohabltation in Idaho, because we are Nor
mons These Mormon subsidized sheets claim the
anti Mormon democrats are responsible for such an
impression going abroad If those papers were not
SO blinded by Mormon money and Mormon influence
they could see the Mormon menace themselves. but
under the circumstances their judgment and eyesght
are both so warped that they can see nothing but
good in everything that pertains to or bears the
brand of Joseph Smith

though it will flourish again if dry seasons succeed
the wet seasons.
In this portion of the west the saving effect of an
abundance of moisture cannot be expected and if the
Russian thistle gains foothold it is likely to take
possession of the soil, njure irrigated land and ser
iousy interfere with dry farming operations. Root
it out while the plants few.
