PLENTY OF WHEAT
There Is No Reason Why the
Price Should Be So High
SECRETARY WILSON TALKS
Reports That Wheat Crop of Country
is Poor Were Falsified---Price Of
Bread Should Not Go Up.

Chicago, Ill-"The so-called COM
mon people, those who earn their
bread by the sweat of their brow,
are being robbed by the Chicago
wheat king declared Secretary Of
Agriculture James Wilson in an In
teryiew. ut is the most deliberately
planned robbery that ever occurred
in the history of the United States.
1t Is a case of the speculator preying
upon the poor-upon the men who
work for living; whose wives and
children depend on their wages for
bread. They must have bread
This thing has been planned for
months If not more than year." con-
tinued the secretary. 1T was no ac-
are shrewd spectators. / give them
credit for being the shrewdest that
ever attempted to corner the wheat
market.
Agents were sent out all over the
United States to gather statistics on
wheat. They were instructed to get a
bad report They got 1t. 1t was pub
lished. Spectators have said right
along that the wheat crop of the coun-
try is poor. 1t is lie pure and sim
pie. The reports have been falsitied.
Il tell you there is plenty of wheat
in the United States. There Is enough
for every one, and there ts no reason
why the price should be 80 high.
Bread prices should not go up.

MESSAGE RBOVT PORTO RICO.
President Directs Attention OF Con.
uress ia Island Affairs.

gross " tStaHO AHauSs
Washington, D. C.-President Taft
sent to congress special message
recommending legislation at the pres
ent extra session, amending the For
aker act under which Porto Rico is
governed. The president directs the
attention OF congress to affairs IN
the island, laying particular stress on
what he terms "a situation of I'm.
usual gravity developed through the
failure of the legislative assembly of
Porto Rico to pass the usual appro-
priation bills, leaving the island with
out support after June 30, next.
Porto Ricans have forgotten the
generosity of the United States, the
president says, in the desire Of GER
tain of the islands political leaders
for power, and he adds that the pres
ent situation indicates that the Unit.
ed States has gone too fast in the
extension of political power to the
Porto Ricans. He concludes that the
absolute power Of appropriation
should be taken away from those
who have shown themselves too ire
sponsible to enjoy It."

OPENING AT KING HILL.

"A h1INN
Glenns Ferry, Idaho-News reach
ed here Monday that the State Land
Board had set November 10th for the
opening and public sale of the lands
included in the project of the King
Hill Extension Irrigation Company.
This company will irrigate approx
mately $4,000 acres of land and have
promised that water will be available
for the irrigation season of 1910. The
estimated cost to complete THE sys-
tenn is $650,000, but the officers of
the company state that large forces
will be put to work and the work
rushed as fast as possible. The land
embraced in this project includes the
land adjacent to Glenns Ferry and
that included in the famous Medbury
Valley. Mr.. L. G. Bradley, manager
of the company, when asked concern
ing the land embraced in the project
stated: 81 believe that the land a.
round Glenns Ferry and in Medbury
Valley are as well adapted to the rails
ing of fruits, even the more tender
varieties, as any land in the North
west. l had number of expert hor-
ticulturists make an investigation and
report on this project and they all
back me up in this assertion. Our
conditions here are identical with
those that prevail in the famous can
taloupe section of the Payette val
ley. l have learned from the expert
ences of old residents who have util-
lid the flow of the creek we reservoir
for irrigation, that cantaloupes and
strawberries can be grown here sue
cessfully and can be placed upon the
market from one to three weeks a.
head of any section now under cult
walton. The horticulturists tell me
that there is no question of the sue
cessful growing of potatoes and that
the soil contains five per cent of iron
which will give to the apples and
pears that rich color so necessary to
the products that bring the gilt-tdged
prices.
The water to be used for the irri-
cation of this land is brought from
the Malade River which has a min
imum flow summer and winter of
HOO sec. #. With large syphon
1000 feet in length this water will
be brought across the Snake River
from which point the canal fifteen
miles in length will carry it along the
land to be irrigated. Some of the
land under the project lies at an ele-
walton too high to be reached from
this ditch and this land will be ir-
rigated from reservoir system.
A reservoir having a capacity of
10000 acre feet will be constructed
to conserve the complete waters of
Bennett, Alkali, Cold Springs, Little
Canyon and Dry Greeks. These creeks
drain the large mountainous area
known as Bennett Mountain and will
furnish much more water than is
required for the irrigation of the
lands now segregated. 1t is contem-
plated, however, to enlarge the sys-
tenn at a later date to conserve all
the waters from this watershed. The
Opening will be held November 1e
at the new townsite established by
the company in Medbury Valley.
