B0RAH WORKING
FOR BOND ISSUE

Washington, Nov. 22.-Senatol
Borah of Idaho, who has been in the
west all summer who travelled for &
time with the senate committe on irri-
cation during its inspection of many Of
the more important great irrigation
projects, was a White House visitor to-
day.
it is understood that the committee
has decided to recommend to congress a
bond issue of from $50, 900, 900 to $40,
900, 900 for the immediate capitaiza-
tion of at least 80 approved projects,
the bonds to be paid from time to time
out of revenues received in the sale of
public lands.
Irrigation work Is now paid for out
of these revenues, but the income is so
slow that if the projects were carried
forward only as the money comes to
hand, many years would elapse be-
fore water could be turned on the lands.
Statesman.
The above news item from the States
man will be of interest to the people of
Lincoln county because cf the fact
that bond issue as contemplated
would mean the irrigating of more than
one hundred thousand acres of land in
the region of the town of Minidoka by
the government reclamation service
In, 11f
engineer Paul at Rupert last Monday
he stated that the Minidoka dam has
been raised five feet thus adding a re-
servoir capacity of at least so, 600 acre
feet of water for the late irrigating
season. This new dam elevation is so
constructed that it will be utilized only
during the low water stage of the river.
Mr.. Paul also stated that the water
supply is abundant for the irrigation of
a vast tract of land lying north of the
present Minidoka project by pumping
system the area of which is from 100,
900 to 120, 900 acres; but that no such
work would be undertaken unless con-
gress makes provision for new irrlga-
tion enterprise by bond issue or some
other scheme.
There is no finer land anywhere than
is contained in this proposed pumping
of the government recla-
nation extension of the Minidoka pro-
ject, and if congress makes provision
for a liberal bond issue as advocated
by Senator Borah and other western
it may confidently be
predicted that this Minidoka extension
will be put through at an early date.

BOLD ROBBERY OF THE
HEPBURN P0STOFF|CE

Early Saturday night, soon after the
Hepburn post Office was closed for the
day, two men forced an entrance into
the building and loaded the iron safe,
containing the Office funds, onto a
heavy truck which they secured by
breaking into nearby warehouse, and
wheeled the same back of some build
ings for the purpose of breaking it
open.
At this place the tracks indicated
that the robbers took fright and con-
cluded to find safer place for further
operations, and so they moved on to the
ball or cricket grounds where they pro-
ceeded to get busy.
They had tak ken the precaution to
break into blacksmith shop and Sc
cure a sledge hammer and with a few
well directed blows they broke open the
safe and found inside about $500 or
$1,000 in cash and stamps which they
pocketed.
From the broken safe, the tracks led
to the railroad where they were lost.
The tracks indicated two men only, one
of whom wore high heeled boots and
the other wore a peculiar shoe.
A post Office detective was on the
ground Sunday morning and after
working over the ground went on up to
Minidoka where he was interviewing sus-
picious characters in the afternoon.
The crime might have been commit
ed early enough for the robbers to
catch the evening passenger train. go
ing north. Failing in that they might
have walked the track up to Rupert.
In confirmation of this theory, the Ida
no Hotel of Rupert reported that an eff
fort was made by one or more persons
to enter the hotel about one O'Clock in
the morning but that they were not let

An Illustration of What Lincoln
County Farmers are Actu-
ally Getting for Crops.
$4,000 FROM ONLY 35 ACRES
Is What a Hagerman Rancher Realized
For his Alfalfa Seed Crop Last Year;
Others Received Nearly as Much

This is an absolutely true story. I
saw the alfalfa seed grown, and har-
vested, and yesterday examined the
sales receipts shown me by H. E.
Barrett, cashier of the First National
Bank of Wendell
The alfalfa seed raised by George
L. Durfee on 80 acres sold for IS, 0OO
1t was cleaned seed and brought twelve
and half cents pound f. 0. b.
Wendell.
w. H. Ebbert's alfalfa crop yielded
90, 900 pounds which sold for 50, 500
Daniel Jones had p, 600 pounds that
sold for 81, 750.
E. E. Lherman, who says he just
experimental with small patch" to
see how it would thrive on his farm,
sold 1000 pounds for ss75.
These farmers live twelve miles from
Wendell in the Hagerman valley.
Within few miles Of Mr.. Durfee's
farm, six car loads of seed have been
threshed this year. Three car loads
have already been sold and paid for by
Mr.. Kicker, who represents an ex-
porting firm.
The exporters are exceedingly par
ticular demanding certain qualities in
alfalfa seed That the Hagerman al
falfa seed is the kind desired is evident
when the one car his firm bought last
year brought them back this year, after
the six car loads raised in the valley.
Mr.. Kicker says that the demand for
alfalfa seed is increasing faster than its
production. The export trade is be-
coming important, but the big demand
is from the eastern and southern states
where they have recently learned that
a coat of lime on the surface of the
ground will enable them to grow al
falfa, and this crop, in turn, restores
to the soil the plant food of which it
was robbed through ignorance of gen.
eratlons of croppers.
The point is, the climate where all
this alfalfa is being planted down east
and south, will not mature seed.
The seed must come from the dry
climate. The fact that Mr.. Durfee's
35 acre crop yields him the salary of a
and that his neighbors
are clearing SIS to S100 an acre, that
one man can care for large acreage
that freight rates, owing to this high
priced product cut no figure and that
he can haul from $500 to $500 worth of
produce at one trip. means that new

very door of Wendell. Hub City Irri-
gationist.

DEMOCRACY WORRIED

Down Boise-way the Capital News
seems to have laid in a stock of light
ming rods for the use of receptive can
didates for gubernatorial honors, anc
from tie class of dope" dispensed we
are led to inquire che reason for this
apparent kindness of our friends the
enemy in selecting the future standard
bearer of the Republican party.
One paper in the Panhandle says.
1--WE want a man from the north. y
Another one says: "Trot him out.
There are several bore politicians
''trotting" about the state who haven't
very much to say in favor of the pres
ent incumbent, but MP to date they do
not seem to have unearthed a candi-
date who doesn't shy.
In the meantime the good people of
the state who, under the changed
order of conditions. are going to have
something to sag about who shall or
shall not be their candidate, seem to be
going ahead making Idaho the best
place in the world to live, boosting for
their own particular locality, eating
three meals day and saying nothing.
We opine when they do say anything
it will be to register their approval of
man who has had the courage to fill
the position to which he was elected.
1t is pretty bitter pill for the Demo-
cratic press to swallow and we have
not always been able to say it in the
past, but the Republican party and its
governor in this state can present to
the citizenry of Idaho clean slate of
platform promises. There is not one
single pledge but has been backed up
by the governor, passed by the legis-
lature, and enacted into law, with
many other meritorious laws thrown in
for good measure. The governor, so
far, has done just what he told the
people he was gong to do-endeavor
to see that the party pledges were car
RED GUS and give the people the best
administration of which he was capable,
and from present appearances he is go
ing to keep up this performance
All this calls to mind the recent
Iaughable ''band wagon" stunts of
Democraey's forelorn hope in the last
campaign, which leads US to believe
that the Democrats would perfer some
other Republican candidate than Brady.

SALOON LICENSES
IN LINCOLN COUNTY

There are nine saloon licenses in Lin
coin county at the present time, the
names and dates of issuance being as
follows;-
Mat McFall, Shoshone, Apr. l, '09;
Fader & Nelson, Minidoka, Apr. /,
'O9; Coltharp & johnson, Hagerman,
Apr. Is. 'O9; AL. o. Cottle, Shoshone,
May l, 'O9; Chas. Sturgis, Shoshone,
July 10, '09; Neil & Phelan, Hepburn.
July 26, 'O9; May & Nicely, Shoshone,
Sept. /, '09; L. N. Huggins, Jerome,
Oct. IL, '09, Gridley & GridIey, Hager-
man, Oct. 20, 'O9.
Because of a supreme court decision
that law is not law till it goes into
effect, the attorney general has given
an opinion that the local opinion law
was not legal notice to the saloon in
terests till it became operative on May
6, '0e. Consequently all saloon licenses
granted at the April meetings of the
county boards will not expire till their
year is up.
All licenses granted after the April
meetings of the county boards will ex-
pire 80 days after the local option cleo
tions in those counties that voted dry.
If this Interpretation of the law holds
good, the first four licenses in the above
list will run out the full year from the
time of issuance.
The remaining FIVE will expire by op-
Grafton of law at the end of 80 days
after the local option election in Lin
coin county.

SHIP YOUR CHRISTMAS
PRESENTS EARLY

Do you expect to send your mother,
sweetheart. or friend Christmas pres
ent this year? If so, and you find oc-
casion to patronize the express company
it would be well to bear in mind the
following suggestions submitted by an
expressman.
First: Ship your package early by
the 18th to 18th of December fpossible.
The express company will give you a
small label tc paste on the package
reaching its destination before Christ
mas and give the additional pleasure to
the recipient of the gift of having it on
Christmas morning.
Second: Use wooden boxes for
packing. This is especially important
for glass:or other fragile articles which
should be carefully packed and pro-
tected. 1t may cost a few cents more
but the danger of loss or damage is
very much reduced
Third: Write the address in full,
state, county, city. street and number,
on the box or package with ink, or
crayon. Tags are frequently torn off
and lest. True. if the shipment is lost
the express company will pay for it,
but that will give your friend no pleas
ure.
Fourth: If you want to prepay the
charges, write the word Paid IN
large plain letters on the package.
Fifth: Insist on receipt, and see
that the amount paid is marked on the
receipt and package, and the value of
the package declared thereon.
Sixth Write your own address in
full somewhere on the package follow

Rupert Man Proves that Very
Fine Quality of Onion Can
be Raised In Lincoln
SOLD s1.100 FROM 3 ACRES
This Crop is Staple and Always Brings
Good Price---EspecialIy Valuable
For Intensive Farming Methods

1t is not everybody that can success
fully raise onions.
Most any one can raise a vegetable
that passes for an onion but when il
comes to selling it on the market there
is fall down.
A large, firm. salable onion is what
is demanded of commercial crop and
this is just what everybody cannot pro-
duce.
J. G. Connors owns 40 acre farm
one mile south east of Rupert. Mr..
'Connors has had many years success
full experience in raising commercial
onions. He was an expert before he
ever came to the Minidoka reclamation
project.
His neighbors have not been very
successful in raising the quality of
onions the market demands.
Mr.. Cannors this year sold 81, 100.
worth of onions that he raised on three
acres of ground. The market was
largely local, that is the demand came
from near by towns.
He has a method of raising them
that experience has proven successful
and he sticks to it. 1t is a specislized
system, an application of the principle
of intensive farming.
1t is not likely that he would care to
have it published broadcast. In fact it
might be impossible for him to impart
the information by word or pen SO that
another might secure such results as
he does.
But if he were employed by an irri-
gation company or an association OF
farmers to devote a certain portion of
his time in cultivating field of onions
for the benefit of class, allowing his
pupils to do the work under his direc-
;tion and guidance Then his expert
knowledge would be transferred in
whole or in part to those acting under
his instruction.
If the writer is not mistaken, onions
find a ready market almost anywhere
and they can profitably be transported
considerable distances.
If such is the case, why could not a
large industry be built up on the Mini
doka project by means suggested in
this article?
