Secretary Knox Sends Ulti-
matum to South Ameri-
can Republic.

This country IS threatened with row
Of good-sized proportions with the re-
public of Chile
ecretary Of state Knox has taken
decisive action in the matter Of the
settlement of the Alsop claim against
Chile and has sent that country an
ultimatum.
He has taken the position that unless
the Alison claim is settled within ten
days. the United States win close its
legation in Chile and the Chilean min
lister here. Senior Don An,baI Cruz, viii
be expected to demand his passports.
He has sent this ultimatum through
Mr.. PierrepOnt, the United States
charge at Santiago and through the
Chilean legation here.
The demand of Mr.. Knox Is that the
government Of Chill shall either settle
with a compromise of 100000 or agree
10 submit the claim to the Hague IN

States Government and set forth In The
protocol which was agreed on between
Thomas c. Dawson. the retiring min
lister TO Chile, and the Chilean miniGter

to have been signed November "A.

Mr. Knox took summary action on re-
ceiving word from Chile through Mr.
Cruz that instead Of signing the proto-
col. Chile would pay the Alsop heirs
$1,000 pounds. or about S335.000 with in
terest accrued since 1903. The Secretary
Of State is thoroughly aroused over the
disposition Of Chile to Maggie over the
matter The effect of his ultimatum,
unless Chile yields, viii be to break
diplomatic relations with the United
States
At the same time the crisis developed
MI. Dawson, the American minister
left Chile for the Cnited-States. How
far this is intended TO show the dis
pleasure of this country is disputed

new Latin-American Bureau Of the
state Department.
Action Is Unusual.
SIch drastic action by the State De-
partmeut is unusual but It is held 10

the claim. which was for actual ad-
vances in cash by the American firm

rain falls during the spring to ma
Jure the grain on the higher levels.
The Brownlee country is almost ex-
rlusiveIy devoted to the raising Of
small grain, and its hills and valleys
compose one vast field of wheat and
oats. 1t is distinctively a dry farming
section. There are no streams to tap
for irrigating purposes; only an oc-
casionaI spring with just enough water
to nOUriSh small orchards and garden
patches. The abundant spring rains,
the moisture conserving character Of
the soil and its richness account for
the large yields and excellent quail
ity of crops produced.
Sweet is the principal town of the
Squaw creek valley. 1t has a popula-
ton of about 200, and splendid
schools and churches A recently es-
tIblished industry there is a FIGURING
mill equipped with modern machinery
for manufacturing flour, meal and
feed. This institution provides
market for practically all the grain
produced in that section, and is a
boon to the farmers and stockraisers.
Land in Squaw creek valley and on
BrOwnlee is cheap now, but is advanc-
ing in value. There is still consider
able government land to be taken up
there and the man of small means
will find an opportunity for getting
a start.

SquaW Creek Valley and BroWnIee
A Rich Agricultural and Stock Section.

To neglect to make mention of the
magnificent Squaw creek valley and
the prolific wheat growing section
of Brownlee would be doing an injus-
tice to a rich agricultural and stock
raising country that is tributary to
the Payette valley and Emmett. The
panorama of beauty that the Squaw
creek valley presents to the traveller
in the summer time is one that can
not be described by pen. Nature and
man have combined to produce a
scene of pastoral beauty. Nature
formed the rugged hills of the Butte
that skirt the valley and fed the
bounteOus stream that cuts its way
through the lowlands from the forest
covered mountains to the north. Man
planted the orchards and sOwed the
grains and grasses and built the hous-
eS and barns that climb a quarter Of
the way up the hills and dot the val
ley for 80 miles or more. Wheat, oats,
barley, rye, alfalfa. clover and tim
othy are grown here and produce
abundantly. All kinds of fruit thrive.
Stock finds plenty of pasture on the
immense ranges adjoining. The
farmers are prosperous and happy,
and enjoy the privileges of good
schools and churches. Water for ir-
is easily secured from Squaw
creek for the lowlands and enough

of the world. Within the last few
months experiments with a certain
species of sagebrush that grows
wild over an immense mountainous
area of the Rocky mountain common
wealth have proved that rubber of
fine quality can be produced from the
shrub. Several compSnras have been
organized for the purpose Of develop
ing the new industry. and the hitherto
despised weed will now be turned to

NETT, and probably portions Of the
bench, will produce the most luscious
of peaches, and what is equally i'm
portant, will produce a crop every
year The yield of peaches through
out the country fuctuates greatly
| and the price varies from a big price
to one that will hardly pay expenses
Of handling. For this reason, peaches
should only be planted where there
is sure to be a crop every year, that
| the grower may have crop the year
! Of high prices. Fortunate indeed is
| the community that is ready for the
! fabulous prices which this crop some
| times brings.
The markets for Idaho fruits are
| indeed world wide. The Italian prune
/ shipped fresh and sold as a plum goes
to London and other foreign ports.
Apples from the northwest are ship
ped to the orient, Australia and
Alaska. OF course the bulk is sold
in the great markets Of the eastern
states. The great and rapidly grow
ing numbers of nom producers Of
agricultural products, and the in
creasing wealth of the great centers
Of population provide a multitude Of
people who can and will pay the price
necessary to secure the high grade
fruits such as are grown in Idaho.
With the increasing difficulties of
growing fruits in the humid states
the consumers must and will look to
the west for fine fruits. Where ma
ture provides the richest Of soils, long
periods Of sunshine, and flowing
streams, man has only to divert the
water TO the willing soil, to produce
that fruit of high quality and fine
appearance which is the envy and dcs-
pair Of the eastern fruit grower
would not like to give the impression
that the way of the fruit grower in
Idaho is entirely a bed Of roses. For
there are many problems to meet and
difficulties to overcome, and the
knowledge necessary to success is ac-
quired only by effort, but the begin
ner has for his aid, the experience and
advice of the pioneers in the business
and he is assured that he is working
toward definite and certain results.

well as the composition of soils, if the
| greatest results would be attained.
Farming involves so many uncertain
ties that skill and experienced judg-
ment are in constant demand. When
the city farmer engages in agriculture
late in life without experience, he will
soon learn that his operations are a
mass Of mistakes, and he will be com
PEELED to learn from those whose
knowledge and experience have bIazed
the pathway to success. The new
beginner will find experience forth
coming and money outgoing until he
has learned the facts necessary to fol-
low agriculture successfully.
One may obtain a theoretical knOwl-
edge Of banking and telegraphy from
books, but could not send a dispatch
or conduct a bank without apprentice
experience. One must have a love and
aptitude for farming If he would sue
coed. There are so many facts to
learn in any branch Of agriculture that
time is necessary to acquire expert
ence. 1t is not the ability to raise one
bumper crop, but to so manage agri-
cultural land that good crops can be
produced every season. This requires
a knowledge Of the composition Of
soils and the most practical and eco
nomicaI method Of maintaining and
increasing land fertility. If the eX-
perience achieved onry averages sue
cess, what can the novice expect in
agricultural operations?
A successful farmer must know the
fundamental rudiments or animal and
plant life The more extended his
knowledge in these laws the greater
the prospect Of success. He need not
be a college graduate, but he must
have mastered the laws governing
plant and animal life and the particu-
lar adoption Of plants to the soil which
he cutivates. This knowledge com
bined with the ability to do this work
to the best advantage, will command
A little knowledge is a dan
gerous attribute, especially when it
does not take in the whole problem |
Of any branch of agriculture. What |
is needed on the farms today are COM |
petent and experienced men who have |
mastered the principles Of agriculture |
at either experiment stations or prac- |
teal field and livestock operations.
