Saturday Evening, about 6 o'clock,
Peter Goertzen. son of Z. +. Goertzen.
who resides on homestead about three
miles east OF town, was attacked by a
wildcat while en- route home from
American Falls. When passing through
the first draw east OF town he espied
bundle OF hay. into which he tossed a
stone. No sooner had he done so than
mother cat emerged from the hay and
made for him. The boy picked up an
other stone and was fortunate in hitting
the animal fairly in the head. dazing il,
and with stick finally drove il away.
After the mother had gone the boy ex.
amined the hay and found hole which
he surmisod led 20 nest. Fearing the
presence Of the mate the boy set fire TO
The nest After il bad burned the hay
he found four young. which explained
the ferocity Of the mother. The boy
arrived home greatly excited. and con-
siders himself fortunate that he came
out of the encounter uninjured.

day and said the Short Line engineers
were running two lines past his place,
one passing to the east and the other to
the west. The route to the west crosses
the high line canal near MIR. Farnam's
place, about five miles north of here.
and from there runs northerly into Alb
erdeen. The other route runs north
from here and crosses the river a few
miles above town, passing through
Tartar Hollow and thence into Aber-
deem. The latter route is the shorter
but would require the bridging of the
river.

l28,OOO ACRES
OPEN TO ENTRY
Best Homestead Land in Idaho
at American Falls.
Probably Twenty Thousand Acres Can
Be Irrigated by Proposed Govern
ment Project Remainder De-
sirable Dry Farm Land.

On the 9th day of August l2s, 600
acres of land surrounding American
Falls will be thrown open to homestead
entry. Forty quarter sections of this
land, or 8, 400 acres, are in the township
in which American Falls is located;
more than 10000 acres are in the town
ship directly across tbs river from town;
more than 5000 acres are in the town
ship east, none of it more than eight
miles distant, and the remainder lies
in the townships joining these on the
south. 1t is estimated that more than
%, 600 acres Of this land will be included
in the tract which the government pro
poses to irrigate.
Part Of the land is included in the tract
which the government proposes to irri-
gate, and is probably the most desira-
ble homestead land in Idaho. The re-
mainder is desirable dry farm land and
all of it will be taken within a few
months. This land was withdrawn from
entry about year ago. or il would all
have been taken ere this In addition
to this tract there is large body west
of town that is being rapidly taken.
American Falls is the center of the
largest dry farming section of Idaho.
Dry farming has proven profitable,
where proper methods of cultivation are
adopted, and yields Of wheat up to 45
bushels per acre are expected this year.
There will be many fields that win go 25
bushels or better, and good crop win
be returned by every field that was
properly cultivated and sown in season.

Several breaks have recently occur
red in the high line canal on a fill in
Livingston's contract. west of Aber-
deen, and have greatly interfered with
the supplying of water to all lands
served by the high line. The company
attributes the breaks to the fact that
the fill was made during cold weather
and frozen dirt was used, which is now
thawing, leaving air spaces in the
emha ,kments into and through which
the water found its way. Water was
running all right the first of the week.
