ABERDEEN TO ENTERTAIN
Are Making Preparations to Enter
tain the Famrers' Institute

American Falls Press
The people of Aberdeen and the
farmers in the vicinity of that busy
town are preparing to hold three
days farmers institute, which will
prove to be of great benefit to all
who attend. Only preliminary ar
rangements have so far been made,
but the success Of the institute is as
sured from the fact that such men as
William Bartel, w. S. Alvord, c. w.
Brown and P. A. Fugate have the
matter in charge and fast getting
things in shape for the biggest gath
ering of the kind ever held in this
section of Idaho. The dates have not
yet been decided upon other than it
will be held In the early part of jan
uary. Not only will experienced men
of this locality be on the program for
addresses but men yersed in tie vari
.ious lines of farming from other parts
of the country will Re in attendance
and give our own farmers the bene-
ut OF their experiences. 1t is already
promised that w. s. Alvord, who de-
Ivered series of lectures last fall
over the district will be on the pro-
gram. Mr. Alvord has spent consid-
cradle time in this and other sections
in studying and experimenting with
irrigation and is in position to give
very valuable and sound advise. His
lectures have always been a great
drawing card and will be so at this
meeting. Many features other than
the regular business are being plan
ned, such as musical attractions. The
Aberdeen band will furnish music
each day of the institute. The farm
ers will be able to gain information at
this time which will mean many thou
sands Of dollars to them and enable
them to profit by the experiences Of
those who have had no such oppor-
lunities but had to find out by operat-
ing small experimental farms. We
will try and keep the farmers in touch
with the progress made by the COM
mittee in arranging the program and
all particulars leading up to this
event which will mean so much to
all.

POOR COW STABLES

The subject of COW stalls is one of
the most important dairy studies. AS
cows are ordinarily stabbed, their con-
dition is anything but what 1t should
be. Poor, miserable stables, cold and
damp and badly ventilated, prevail,
There must be low order of intel
ligence amongst the poorer dairymen
to permit such cenaitians,
1t is common to zee cows standing
on a. dilapidated old floor, without
bedding enough to make decent
hens nest, and their hind feet half
an inch deep in filth. How any man
can expect to produce clean, sanitary
milk under such conditions Is mys-
terry. The probabilities are that a
good many SO called dairymen don't
expect to do so. They don't care so
long as they get their money for the
product, and the trouble is we have
mt inspectors with honesty enough or
backbone enough to show up condi-
lions as they actually exist. We have
a few very good dairymen, men who
are straight forward and who turn
out good product, but their good
work is discounted by the miserable
fellows who conduct their business
In such a slovenly manner as to bring
discredit upon the whole dairy fra-
ternity.
It may be a little easier ID use some
old contraption OF stable that some
ignorant farmer built twenty or thirty
years ago than 1t Is to get at it and
tear the bottom out and build some
thing right and decent, but dairy
man worthy Of the name will manage
in some way to keep his cows In a
clearly, sanitary condition.

PORTLAND LIVE STOCK MARKET

December 16, .2U9.
The sale OF Christmas cattle at the
Portland Union Stock Yards last
Tuesday under the auspices of the
Portland Live Stock Exchange was a
tremendous success and some history
making prices were secured. The
Grand Champion steer sold at $25 90
per hundred pounds; the Grand
Champion COW at $1O25 per hundred
pounds. The Grand Champion car
load of steers sold at $500 per hun
dred pounds, with other car loads and
single animals in proportion. There
was a big attendance and r,ucr EN-
thusiasm. When it is considered
that the Grand Champion single steer
'of the International Live Stock ex-
position sold at $500 per hundred
pounds II can be seen that Portland
has made record.
Receipts for the week have been
1890 cattle, 292i sheep, 2a65 hogs,
and 1913 calves.
The market on ali classes Of cat
tie has been consistently strong in
the face of lower prices in the eastern
center. Good steers have sold at
$4.75; good cows at 1915 and other
classes of cattle proportionate,y
strong.
The hog market has ruled strong
to higher at Portland, while Chicago
and other markets have quoted hogs
weak to 10 cents lower Top hogs
on this market have sold at $3.50,
with bulk OF sales at 1925 to $3.50.
The sheep market has been poorly
supplied and prices have ruled full
25 cents higher on all classes. Good
wethers sold for. $500 and lambs at
$3.50; there should be more sheep
on the market Stock raisers of the
Pacific Northwest have cause for con-
graduation in that their live stock
market Is higher all around than at
any other point.

COUNTIES MUST BRIDGE CANALS
Idaho Supreme Court Hands Down
Important Decision Affecting
d. 49,, Southern Idaho

Boise Capital News .-.-i4-
An important opinion involving the
liability OF irrigation companies for
the cost Of construction Of bridges
and culverts over canals or bitches
across public highway, which item
OF cost will amount into thousands OF
dollars for southern counties OF the
state, was handed down by the SUI
preme court today in the case OF A.
Q. MacCammelly, road overseer OF
district No. ~ OF Canyon county VS..
Pioneer Irrigation company, the de-
cision OF Judge Edward l.. Bryan in
favor of the county and against the
irrigation district being reversed.
The ruling OF the court to the effect
that counties must stand the expense
Of construction OF bridges and cul-
verts over canals and irrigation ditch
es crossing the public highway will
AFFECT practically all the southern
counties of the state, reclamation pro-
1ects being confined to that section of
the state.
The opinion is written by Chief
Justice i. N. Sullivan and is con-
Cured in by Justices Stewart and
Ailshee. The syllabus by the court
follows:
Held, that the provisions of sec
ton 931. Rev. Codes, apply to high
ways across railroads on public lands
and not to highways crossing irriga-
ton canals and bitches.
Sec. 2713, Rev. Stat, is contained
In Chapt. 5. Title OF the Civil Code
and the title to said chapter is as fol.
lows. Water and canal corporations
and the four sections of said chapter,
to-wit, sections 2710 and 2713 inclu-
sive, were intended to apply to water
corporations furnishing water to cit
les and towns, and not intended to
apply to corporations furnishing wat
er for irrigation purposes. See Secs.
2S3S, 1889, 2S40 and 2S41, Rev.
Codes. 1909.
'tThe provision of Sec. 951 of the
Rev. Codes, apply to bitches which
are extended across public streets and
highways and not to bitches that
were constructed prior to the location
of such highways.
Under the provisions of Sec. 1910,
Rev. Codes, it is the duty of the coun-
ty to construct bridges that are re-
CURED to complete all roads inter-
secting bitches or canals laid out af-
ter the construction of such bitches
or canals; but when bitches or canals
are constructed across an existing
road or highway, one established by
prescription or duly located by the
county commissioners, then 1t is the
dirty ar tha nwnar ~ conctr,,nt q
proper bridge across such ditch or
canal.
Held, under the provisions OF Sec.
1863, Rev. Codes. that ditch or
canal constructed and maintained un-
der the express authority of statute
cannot be deemed to be nuisance.

DEMAND FOR BOARD AND ROOMS

The demand for rooms and board
Ing places seems to increase more
rapidly than the supply. People who
want board at private houses are not
all finding It, and the opening of more
boarding houses would meet live
demand.
The opening OF a cafe at the corner
of Bridge and Taylor streets the first
of January by Humphrey & Hines
will probably relieve the situation
somewhat II conducted on the right
lines to accommodate family trade,
but with the opening of spring the
demand will probably be greatly in
creased.

or dry leaves is from one to five grams. There is little danger in the bark, roots or flowers since live stock would hardly obtain sufficient poison in that way.
 Tn the case of human beings great CT care should be taken. Often persons thoughtlessly chew leaves. flowers and small sticks Small children playing under Oleanders are very apt to pick un leaves. flowers or sticks and chew them with fatal results. In case hu- man beings obtain oleander poison. treat as directed above.
 The general symptoms are ln creased temperature and pulse, cold ness of the eXtremities. warm body temperature. dilation of the pupils of the eyes and discoloration of the mouth and nostrlls. followed by sore mouth. The bOdv becomes wet with sweat. due to the eXertion caused by the pow erful heart stimulation. The animal refuses to eat or drink during the 24 hour preceding death. This is usual ly due to soreness of the mouth and throat, making it painful to masticate and swallow food. The bowels act often and feces are usually greenish in color. The action of the kidneys is is increased slightly and color of urine Is normal"
 The writer continues by naming a number of shrubs that for ornamental purposes might well succeed the ole ander, concluding as follows:
 If Oleanders are to be used, how ever. they should be planted only fin places of safety, and not in parks. along public highways or other drives. There Is little foubt that numerous cases of oleanGe. poisoning have never been brought to light because of death being attributed to other sources. It is safe to say, however. that many hun dreds of animals have been lost in Southern Arizona from this shrub

THOMPSON'S CASH
 UNEARTHED AT LAST
He Was Right About the Treasure in
 His Trunk.

An investigation was made yester- | day of the trunk of Frank Thompson at the county jail. At the time of his arrest at Denver it was stated that he bad s7O0 in cash. but the officers there , turned over to Deputy Sheriff Adams when he went after Thompson only S22O which they said was all they had seen They appear to have accepted his statement that he had s700.
 He afterward told MT. Adams that his trunk had been cut open and $500 had been taken. The officer regarded that as one of ThompsOn's many hal lucinations. though he afterward ire quCntly spoke of the $500 in his trunk.
 It could not be found yesterday and tho trunk was turned over tO Mrs. Thompson and she overhauled it again in the woman's cell, where MT. Thomp- son is confined. After she had search od everywhere else she looked under the sweat band Of a Panama hat and found five S10O bills. Thompson told Ter that he had saved the money and hidden it for the payment of her burial expenses.
 In the original search there was found 120 acres of land scrip, the property of Hildreth and Thompson. As that was not involved in the com- paint of Mir. Stenger. who had caused the arrest of Thompson, it was turned over to MT. Hldreth. Also as there had been no complaint of the embez- element of any money the cash was left in his possession.
 No action was taken in the matter of the proposition of him yesterday, and t could not be said when anything would be done

STICK TO IT. Until Coffee Hits You Hard.

It Is about as well to advise people hard enough. so that they will never forget their experience, although it is rather unpleasant to have to look back to a half dozen years of invalid ism, money and opportunity thrown away. which is really the terrible price paid for the weakest kind of a mess of pottage."
 A woman writes and her letter is condensed to give the facts in a short space:
 'I was a coffee slave and stuck to it like a topper to his cups notwith- standing I had headaches every day. and frequently severe attacks of sick headaches, then I used more coffee to relieve the headaches. and this was well enough until the coffee effect wore off, then I would have sick spells.
 Finally my digestion was ruined. severe attacks of rheumatism began to appear, and ultimately the whole nervous system began to break down and I was fast Becoming a wreck
 After a time I was induced to quit coffee and take up Postum. This was half a year ago. The result has been most satisfactory.
 The rheumatism is gone entirely. blood is pure. nerves practically well and steady, digestion almost perfect, never have any more sick headaches and am gaining steadily in weight and strength"
