PROTECT FIELD

A correspondent at Seattle writes
Mining News as follows:
''The Northern Pacific is not worry
ing about its position in the struggle
for the mastery Of the Clearwater and
Lolo pass regions, according to H. c.
Mutt, general manager Of the road.
The Northern Pacific has for many
years contemplated running a short
line through the Lolo pass to the Snake
river. 1t has made several surveys Of
the region and is prepared to file in
Montana and Idaho, and in that way is
far ahead Of any other roads that may
plan to penetrate the same territory.
The Northern Pacific has a number Of
surveying parties at work in the Clear
water country correcting the old lines
that have been run. With these guides
they have a marked advantage over the
Hartman and Milwaukee men, who
have been baffled by the deep SHOWS
which remain late in the high alti-
tudes

LOOKING FOR POWER SITE
Late Developments in Mine
Require 1t.

is the Idaho Buster Mining company
looking up a power site on one Of the
streams near Elk City, with a view TO
putting in an electric power plant to
enable them to mine extensively in the
central Idaho mining districts?
This is the question that has been in
the foreground in discussion the past
week or ten days. Rumor has been
circulated at different times the past
year or longer that the company intend
to devise means to get away from the
heavy expense Of using steam for
power, and the actions Of Buster men
and a surveyor along Red river q short
time ago seems to point that what has
been predicted viii come true.
Secrecy Maintained.
For reasons that will readily suggest
themselves 10 all real mining men, the
utmost secrecy is being maintained IN
this move by the Buster company.
Men close 10 the head Of the company
have been queried on the matter, and
the inquisiLor has always been met with

Corn Slower for Horses.

Just try some shredded slower for
horse feed this winter, instead of
timothy, urges correspondent of
Orange Judd Farmer. The former is
Just about one-half the price of the lat.

the testimony from the feeding test.
Judging by the way horses act, 1t must
be true. II you have plenty of tim.

city man, who will pay a good round
price for It, With the money buy
some other things you need. Take

cheaper one, with money in your
pocket to boot.

a writer in Rural New Yorker, it is

Review of the Work Of the Recla-
nation Service Sent to Congress
by Secretary Garfield.
Dwells Upon Importance Of the Co.
operation Of the States and Fed
eral Government in the Develop
ment Of Arid Lands.

Washington "A comprehensive re.
view of the work of the reclamation
service in the interior department
was given to the house committee on
irrigation Thursday by Secretary Gar
field.
Mr.. Garfield said that in the con.
struction of the big irrigation plants
every attempt had been made so to
construct the plants that the cost OF
repair from year to year will be as
small as possible. The secretary
dwelt upon the Importance of the CO.
operation Of the states and the fed.
eral government in the development
of arid lands. He gave the commit
tee some suggestions as to the future
control of the irrigated lands.
There should be no relaxation OF
the requirement that the money ex-
pended on those lands must be re.
turned to the government, and there
should be no permission granted for
the postponement OF the first pay
ment," he said 1.-THE time has ar
rived for the first payments to be
made on some of the projects, and
many requests for an extension or
time have been made.
IF payments are to be postponed
or payments entirely abandoned,
there will not long be reclamation

The secretary approved in unquali-
fled terms the Water Users associa-
ton, saying that they are absolutely
necessary In the successful manage
ment of an irrigation plant He ia
vored the small sized farm unit in ir-
rigated sections.
