Presley T. Horne for Register
U. S. Land Office at HALEY Will Have New Head-Ap-
pointee to Succeed A. |. Mcmahon, Resigned,
Looks Good to the Public

Haley his home for years past, and he
has found it mighty good plaqs to
live in, for health, social and every
other feature, it may be presumed that
he will fill out the full four years with
credit to himself and all his friends.
There is nothing new on the question
of removing the land Office to Gooding,
or Shoshone, or Rupert, three places
which have been striving for the honor.
1t was at one time reported that the
removal to Gooding was about assured,
though this has since been denied-and
the fact that the removal hasn't been
made, is enough to cast a doubt on the
prophecy. But the main line towns
are making strenuous fight, and there
is still good chance that Gooding will
gather in the plum. The people OF
Haley, where the land office has re-
mained so long, are not yet prepared to
admit even the danger of losing it. AT
any rate, they have one.of the officials
which under the circumstances is no
mean honor Mr.. Bradley, the receiver
is also Haley man.
Mr. Horne wss formerly connected
with the Idaho Irrigation Company, in
It's early days, as one of the high off
GERS, and made many friends in this
section, who are gratiied to learn of
lis appointment. |

idly by and watch some opposing
company infringing on their territory
without doing something in their
own behalf, thus we see the Short
Line surveyors mixing things with
the Northwestern and the Hill in
terests on Camas Prairie.
BY coming through Richfield the
Short Line has by far the best OF
the deal. and will have natural
water grade the entire distance to
Boise and will open up some of the
best undeveloped country in Idaho.
Along the proposed route is some
of the most productive land in the
state, great bodies of timber and
mines that have laid idle for years
waiting for some means of transport
ing their ore to the smelters.
There are also great mountains OF
as fine granite as can be found any

tion farming, the profits on the area
now in alfalfa can be greatly in
creased, says the department, if more
care and skill are exercised in grow
ing it.
The most essential conditions to
the production of alfalfa are abun-
dant sunshine, a high summer tenn
perature, sufficient moisture and a
rich, deep, well-drained soil. All Of
these, save moisture, exist naturally
in the arid regions of the west, and
when moisture is supplied it makes
the conditions ideal. The little book
let contains valuable hints to grow
ers of alfalfa. particularly with ref
errence to the amount of water to
apply, and how and when to apply
it,
Alfalfa is one of the most remun-
erative crops grown in Idaho and
will be for a long time. 1t behooves
the farmers, therefore, to obtain all
the reliable information possible re-
lative to improved methods of irri-
eating and handling it. The demand
for alfalfa is increasing enormously
in response to new uses found for
it. 1t is no longer merely a food
for livestock. Various other means
have been found to utilize it, and
these are only in the infancy OF de-

You can grow fruit here.

You can grow fruit here.
At an altitude of 42O0 feet.
Fruit that will keep over till next
year, and be as good as the day II
was picked
And you can insure your crop.
Safe as government bonds, or as
money in the bank, and twice as pro-
fitable.
This is the substance of some in
vestigations carried on by the Re
corder, the consensus of opinion of
a number of good horticulturists
The fertile soil and the dry climate
insure the excellent quality of fruit;
the crop insurance will come thru
the use of crude oil smudgcs For the
protection against frosts
1t would be little worth Willie to
say that it is as warm here as down
in the Snake or other lower valleys
of the state. 1t really isn't. We get
frost here when they don't get it at
those places; it SHOWS here when
tuSy SCI dlIl, anu we Cdu put up lCc
to sell to the ice-less valleys for
summer use.
But the soil here is as fertile as
the lowest valley that ever lay out of
doors, the sun shines just as bright,
and it paints as beautiful a red on
the cheeks of the apples as though
the sunshine were tied on there day
and night. Jack Frost comes some
times, and he's not always a welcome
guest But we can lock the doors
against him, throw the key in the
we'll, and enjoy the profits of the
favored of the whole earth.

means almost an iron-clad crop in

A dispatch from Washington, says
that Presley F. Horne of Haley, has
been nominated for the position of reg
ister of the u. s. land Office at Haley,
vice A. l. Mcmahon of Shoshone, re-
signed.
Mr.. Mcmahon was appointed about
two and half years ago, and has SER
we'd acceptable every since. His fami-
ly, however, found the Haley altitude
too high for their good health, and af-
ter two attempts to live there, had to
return to lower altitude. Mr.. McMa-
hon finally felt obliged to give up the
work. and go with the family, which
he has done.
There could be no better selection
than that of Mr. Horne to fill the place.
He has had long experience in the
land office, as clerk, and as cashier of
one of the Haley banks, and of the
Idaho State Bank in Boise, has wide
and varied business experience. He is
courteous, capable, Industrious, and
has the element of common sense so
much needed in interpreting the multi
tudinous departmental rulings that
reach so closely to the life of the peo-
pie in the new West Mr. Horne is an
attorney, admitted to practice in the
courts, which will strengthen his po-
sition appreciably. Since he has made

Interesting Meeting

There were several important
meetings held at the Commercial club
rooms last week, but probably the
most interesting meeting of the lot
was the one held Thursday evening,
although there was small attend
ance, owing to the choled condition
of the stove Some of those who
were present, however, left some of
their most important belongings and
had better get the same before it is
too late as they will probably need
them again.

Richfed has lots of ways to make money and fame
besides boosting prize fights. The people here expect
to be almost too busy next summer to attend even

good will and gave them as much pleas

Surveyors A-Comingg g
Short Line and Northwestern Scouts
Making Exhaustive Study of All
This Part of Idaho.

The railroad surveyors are COM
ing this way from Soldier and ex-
Dect to reach the Big Dam on Wood
river today.
There are three crews still at work
on the Prairie, and that there will
be at least one road built through
that country within the next year is
a certainty, and it is still more of a
certainty that if one of these roads
is built RichfieId will be on that
road.
In 1885 survey was made by the
Northwestern through Camas Prai-
rie, from Idaho Falls through the
Wood River Gap, continuing down
the Wood river and thence on down
the South Boise to Bosie, but in 1887
a pool was made between the Short
Line and Chicago G Northwestern,

western stopped building at Casper,
Wyoming.
This pool mentioned was for 90
years and as it expired in 1897, ac-
tivities were resumed by the North
