AnYANCE IN RATES

The Iowa state board Of railway
commissioners has ordered an ad-
vance in railroad rates on certain
commodities on which the board
claimed the rates were unreasonably
low. The commission declares that
rate unreasonably low is just as IL
legal as one that is unreasonably
high.
This appears to be just decision
and it is refreshing to hear it an
nounced from so high an authority
as the Iowa state board of railway
commissioners. There is a popular
prejudice against all railroad rates
and a tribunal that has the courage
to 90 up against that opinion and
raise the rates must be made of the
right sort Of stuff.
This decision is based upon JUS
tice and it will likely be esta alished
as a precedent in such matters.
If the railway rates were more
equitaDly adjusted, either by a COM
mission or the railways themselves,
there wonld be less grounds for pub
lie criticism.
OF course the man who gets the
of the unreasonably low
rate is not making any fuss about
it, unless he uses that as an argu-
ment to get the same reduction on
other commodities. If some reason
able and sensible basis of adjust
ment were used In making rates so
that the average might not be any
less than 1t now is but would be more
eeuitsbly distributed the authority
which brought it about would win
the praise of he public When
man pays dollar or more hum
ired for getting the same article
lauled, than his neighbor two or
hree or five hundred mile; further
llong the same line it is the discrim-
nation that makes him hot under
he collar instead of the high rate he
Jays.

The local phones will be installed for
all who want them, and line will be
run out to the lower diversion dam
on the Big Wood river, where the
water is to be taken out for the
North Gooding tract. All the com
pany stations will be connected with
headquarters here, so that company
business can be carried on with the
utmost facility. In the handling of
water for so large a tract of land
as the Idaho Irrigation project, and
the many interests to be served there
by, it is a matter of the greatest
public concern to have the best Of
communication at all times.
There are other good things COM
ing to Richfield, and they are not all
so very far in the future, either.
Richfield is one Of the coming live
ones of Idaho, and don't you forget
it.
With telegraphic and telephone,
and good roads communicating from
all the outside districts to Richfield,
it isn't bad guess to see two thous-
and people here neA. year, and more
than any town in the state
can boast.

Lincoln county with its thousands
of acres of agricultural lands is des-
tined to become one of the leading
counties in the state in the next few
years, and it is safe to say that there
is not county in the state that has
done as much building, or increased
as much in population in the past
two years as Lincoln county.
Next spring when the Idaho Irriga-
tion turns the water on their segre-
cations there will be such a demand
for the lands, that have already been
taken that there will not be an acre
left, scarcely, that is tillable but what
will be put into cultivation, and when
once this land is in cultivation and
in the hands of people that want it
for a home, then the actual develop
ment of Lincoln county will begin.
In this city there will be thuos-
ands of dollars spent for improve
ments. The water power of Little
Wood river Will be utilized in some

pies, etc. To say that their efforts
proved a success is putting it very
mildly. All these trees came into
bearing five years ago, and since
that time they have never lost fruit
by frost, scale, or itber orchardist
troubles. We ate peaches four days
ago, that was equal if not superior
to any peaches that we have found
in Idaho this year. The trees are
loaded with every kind of fruit
above mentioned, except cherries,
which were abundant and ripened
and picked four weeks ago. This
orchard and farm ia the middle of
a desert is without doubt enc of
the most beautiful sights that the
average Travelled riu ever see in
Southern Idaho.
What the Hartwelrs have accom-
plished will be repeated by hundreds
of farmers in their Immediate VIC
unity On the 2Sth of September,
at Buhl, Idaho, a great gathering of
land buyers will take place. The
Carey Act law is going to be ap-
piled on that day to $4,000 acres
of this sage brush desert. The West
End Twin Falls Irrigation Company
will on that day at Buhl, Idaho, af-
ford the public an opportunity to
and select lands on this 35,-
600 acres which the Company will
supply with abundance of irrigation
water And the man or woman that
will be fortunate enough to secure
forty to one hundred and sixty acres
on this tract will in our opinion, Sc
cure what in few years will be
classed as among the highest grade
fruit lands in southern Idaho.

from Buhl, Twin Falls Coutny, Ida.

are taking place these days in South

them is the process of destruction of

grain and grass fields and orchards
in its place.
The cold timer" who had travelled

member the great expanse of black
sage brush plain, whose water shed
drained into the Bruneau, Devil and

the deep soil covering this plain.
Well, the Transformation has taken
place and all the black sage brush

submerge nearly 1000 acres of land,
and this impounded water will be
carried out with a canal line 32 feet
wide on the bottom by six feet deep

the land bordering on the old Tuan-

be covered with fields of grain, and
grasses, and orchards.
What transformation The old
stages driver, who would have sug-
gested such a thing thirty-five years

this suggestion would have indicated
that his mind was unbalanced.
