Car. Victim Make Vain
Effort To Escape Meets
Instant Death

Word has just been received from Jor-
dan Valley that the entire community was
shocked by the sad accident that happened
a few days ago in that peaceful town.
The new auto recently purchased by
Fred J Palmer had arrived and while it
was being tried on its speed test Ito
see if it could beat Alex Canter's ma
chine) the driver either lost his head or
lost control of his machine, and was un-
ab to prevent the accident. The inno-
cent victim is supposed to have failed to
noticed the approach of the machine un-
til it was to late to make his escape; al
though after realizing his danger he
made every effort in his power to save
his life buthe failed. Thus passed away
one ever faithful, honest and true. Fare
well Ring may the streets of the here
after to which you have gone be free from
the honk-honk of the buz wagon.

The farce of trying Neal, the wrecker
of the Capital State bank, for forgeries
and other crooked work is ended. Neal
had too much pull, as was shown by the
two previous trials. The system of filch-
ing the depositors and the conhding pub
lie by the arts and tricks Of the banking
system was becoming too much exposed
and it had to be stopped. Had it been a
man without pull or poor working man
who had attempted ''frenzied finance =
as did Neal he would have been serving
time in the Idaho pen long ago. But
with Neal it meant that if convicted
others higher up would have been imph-
Gated.

EXTENSIVE BUILDING OF
RAILROADS AND IRRIGA-
TION PROJECTS I'M
OWYHEE COUNTY

That the Short Line will soon construct
the railroad recently surveyed from Buhl
to point near the state line between
Parma and Nyssa is no longer dream.
Decisive action was taken by the directors
of the company and work on the road
will soon commence. The benefit to be
derived from the speedy construction Of
this line can hardly be estimated.
This road will cross the northern part
Of Owyhee county, a distance of $50
miles, and will aid in the development Of
the irrigation projects and furnish trans
portation facilities for the people of that
part of the county. The entire county
will be benefited by the increase in the
amount of taxable property and the adj
vantages of nearer railroad point.
Owyhee County contains large area
Of the richest soil and the greatest mines
in the west. Several extensive irrigation
projects have been completed and
others are in course of construction.
With all these projects completed and
railroads in active operation and the rich
mineral deposits properly developed,
Owyhee County will take her rightful
position, as having the richest mines, the
richest soil, the best opportunities for in
vestment of capital and the finest climate
in the State Of Idaho.
A meeting of the stockholders and di
rectors of the Minidoka & Southwestern
Railroad Company was held in Pocatellc
last Monday when it was decided t.
amend the articles of incorporation o
that company SO as to provide for larg'
railway building in this state.
Among the extensions provided TO
by the amended articles of incorporation
is the extension of the Twin Fall
branch from Buhl to Nyssa, Oregon,

and a third branch from Burley to Oak

Best Time For Planting
Trees.

"When is the best time for plant.
ing fruit trees like the peach, apple
and plum? If trees are planted in
the fall is it necessary to hill them
up over the bud?"
The above Information was request
ed Of Prof H. A. Surface, State Zool-
ogist of Pennsylvania, by man
residing in Franklyn county, near
the Maryland line in celebrated
fruit belt" 1t Is sample Of hun.
dreds Of similar letters received with
in a few weeks. The reply of Pro
fessor Surface was brief and to tie
point, as follows;
IL am we'll satisfied that apple,
pear and ounce trees can be planted
in the fall with good advantage, and
| would prefer fall planting for such
kinds. However, in planting peach
aud plum would as soon plant in
the spring, as early as the ground
can be put into proper order. Yet
believe that fall planting Of peach
and plum trees in your part of the
State and over the warmer portions
of Pennsylvania would be all right
and successful, 1t will be best tc
cut them back well at painting, and
think il would be advisable tc
mound them up over the bud. II
they were so mounded they would
not be liable to be killed by every
severe winter freezing, and if they
we're injured, only the upper and ex
posed part would be damaged, and
the remainder conld be left to grow
a new top, which it would do very
nicely. Cherry trees should be
planted in the spring-the earlier tbs
better.

Water Conservation

The controversy between Forester
Pinchot and Secretary Ballinger over
water site reservations has assumed
large and national importance. Nat
urally those who know Pinchot and
his sincerity OF purpose and untiring
labor TO promote the best interests of
the country in conserving our timber
lands and water supply will favor
his position. In fact we of the East
generally know so little of the vast
resources of the West in timber and
water that we can hardly compass
the magnitude of the problem and
its importance to this and future gen
ations. Knowing something of the
land frauds, and not only those but
many others which have been and
are being perpetrated on the govern
ment by her agents and officials, we
look with suspicion on those who by
their acts seem to be favoTing the
greed ofindividuals and corporations.
Pinohot is in the best possible posi-
ton to know more of the details of
u Ia schemes and their ultimate con
quences and effects than any other
man. and when he says there Is an
inclination TO allow these valuable
rights to pass from the control OF the
people into the hands of monopolies
he touches responsive chord in the
popular mind. People from their
knowledge of what has been are quite
ready to believe what easily pay be
the case, and they are not satisfied
with the technical objections to his
methods, The broad questions is he
working along lines which will pro-
mote the greatest good to the great.
est number as against those who are
not is one which when answered af
firmatively will draw the country to
his side. Those who oppose will be
viewed with suspicion as having
some end in view ior their own gain.
People read and think and are begin
ming to vote their views and as that
day comes to pass no party can af.
ford, If it wishes to continue in power
to ignore the rights and voice of the
masses
