they suddenly find themselves sur
rounded by the agricultural develop
ment which the irrigation of these
, Southern Idaho lands always pro-
duces and insures."
Asked for his opinion as to the
recent incorporation of the village
Mr.. Mason said, "That was certainly
long step in the right direction.
The residents could scarcely have
done anything better calculated to Sc
cure the full advantages of the pres
ent and future growth and develop
ment of their community By adopt
ing the form of village government
they have at once set in motion the
machinery for adequate fire and po-
lice protection; they have made it
possible to inaugurate street improve
ments and establish street grades
which, properly attended to from this
time forward, will assure the town
system of streets and a regularity
of side walks and building grades
which will do much in advancing the
progress of the village and the com
fort and conveniences of its people;
and what is even more consequential,
they have made it possible at once to
provide an adequate water supply for
business and domestic purposes.
IT understand that proposals are
already on foot looking to the grad
ing of Main street and the laying
of cement sidewalks its full length. !
AS to the water supply, | understand |
that the machinery and other mater
ials for the new pumping station on
the Little Wood river are already on
the ground. With the mains already
laid and the $4,000 gallon tank al
ready erected, it is expected that the
water will be available inside of thir-
ty days. The large number of ap-
)lications for water connections which
have already been received indicate
that this feature of the progress of
he village is much appreciated.

Herbert D. Mason, of the New
York Law firm of WINS, Mason
Wolff and Hoguet, which is counse
for ]. G.. White and Company, Inc, il
it's affairs relative to the Idaho Irri-
cation company project, visited Rich
field last week. Mr. Mason was in
Idaho some three months last sum-
mer and fall when the White Compa-
ny was beginning work on this pro-
jeet He then purchased land in
the Richfield segregation and while
in Richfeld this time purchased lot
He was greatly surprised at the pro-
gress made since his return to New
York, and in response to the Record
er's representatives questions said:
1T is with a feeling of much graf
ification and some surprise that
noted the extraordinary growth mani
fest in Richfield, on my return from
the East last week, after several
months absence. l had expected a
rapid growth, but nothing like that
which / found When l left here last
fall Richfield was largely a prospec-
tive town. While it's few taxpayer
houses, its single store, and it's other
small beginnings were typical of the
early conditions of many of the pres
ent large towns and cities of this and /
other Northwestern sections, l had I
no idea that they were the begin
nings of such rapid growth and sub
stantial development as has followed
in the past six months. At that time
the White Company was just begin
ming on the big dam, and contracts
had been given for the completion of
canals and bitches. Returning. l find
an Incorporated village with popu-
lation of over five hundred; scores of
new houses completed, and great
number under construction or con-
tracted for; a number of business
houses carrying large stocks of goods, {

! Not only did Mr.. Mason note will
= much satisfaction the growth o.
: Richfield and the development of the
! farming country surrounding it, but
he also commented favorably upon
the general progress of the entire
project, saying: but the growth
of this town and the development OF
this particular segregation is not the
only ground for satisfaction. Since
my return here l have had an oppor-
tunity to go over with Mr.. Green, the
Construction Superintendent, the
progress made on the tunnel, dam,
canals and bitches for all the segre-
cations of the Irrigation company
He has succeeded in getting together
corps of engineers that would be
hard to duplicate anywhere on work
of this kind, and with this assistance
he has accomplished wonders.
when I left Idaho last fall, work
on the big dam and tunnel had only
begun. Now at the end of six months
find that the J. G. White Company
has accomplished much more than
anyone then thought possible. In or
der to make as early a delivery of the
water as possible, night and day
shifts have been used on the dam and
tunnel, and the canal and ditch work
has been pushed to the utmost. The
tunnel through which the water is
to be drawn from the reservoir for
irrigation purposes has been run hun
dreds of feet through the rock and is |
now complete and is being used as
spillway for the flood waters of the |
river. Work on the impounding dam
which when completed will be nearly
40 feet in height, has been carried
has a storage capacity sufficient for
all the lands for this season. The

what all this means to Richfield
$ easy to picture. 1t is the natural

his entire segregation. Every farm t

nd the surrounding country seem 1

fact that aside from fruit production

six to eight tons of alfalfa to the
acre, which now sells at from $500
to $1,000 a ton throughout Southern
Idaho; or from $50 to 500 bushels
of potatoes to the acre, which are
now worth two cents a pound in this
market; or from 70 to 80 bushels of
oats to the acre, which find a ready
market at home at two cents pound
he can find little room for doubt as
to the future of the community.
All of these facts point to but
one conclusion. Pertinent as they
may be to the consideration of the
prosperity and progress of this sin
gle community, they have still lar
ger significance when viewed with
reference to their effect in the East
and Middle West, or even in farther
Northwest. In the East and Middle
West, these very facts are attracting
an attention to southern Idaho, and
are arousing an interest in it's devel-
opment, which is akin to the inter-
est taken by Eastern farmers and
business men in the Middle West a
generation agO,-an interest which
peopled the Mississippi and Missouri
Valleys with the best that the East
could send and built up great farm
ing communities and cities there just
as this present interest will build up
Southern Idaho. That generation |
f1ocked to the Middle West and peo-
pied its acres and assured it's pros
perity, just as like attractions are

association of stationary engineers
opened in the Auditorium pavilion,
Fillmore and Page streets, last night
by the pressing of button by Mayor
Edward r. Taylor, and the ringing of a
large gong in the exhibition room. No
sooner was the clang of the bell heard
than thousands of electric lights were
flashed on and the wheels of the eX-
hibits set in motion.
The exercises were held in the large
meeting room next to the large pa
vilion. Mayor Taylor delivered an ad-
dress of welcome to the delegates and
visitors and then spoke of the impor-
tance of the fair and of the conven-
ton which opens this afternoon. He
told what an important factor the
steam engineer was In the upbuilding

INVESTIGATE LOAN
TO CALkINS FIRM
Lawyers Fail to Solve Mystery
Surrounding Big Sum Lent
Defunct Syndicate
Bank Official to Take Stand to
Explain Details of BUSH
ness Transaction

The mystery that envelops the loan
the Calkins newspaper syndicate, and
secured by shares of stock in the diff
ferent publications of the bankrupt
concern, notably by $4,000 shares of
stock in the Globe, was investigated
yesterday before Referee of Bank
ruptcy Green in the Calkins proceed
ings. Despite the efforts of the law
yers throughout grilling day, the
mystery remained as unexplainabl as
ever. Attorney Osgood Putnam made
gallant effort to clear up the tangled
conception of the unusual business
transaction that evidently exists in
his mind, but after a long session
with Charles J. Deering, cashier and
assistant manager Of the trust com
pany. he was compelled to dismiss the
witness without having let more than
a ray of light into the darkness
l. w. Hellman Jr., the banks vice
president and manager, will probably
be called as a witness at the next
hearing of the bankruptcy proceed
ings Monday, and on that occasion
Putnam will again make an earnest
effort finally to assure himself that
really lent the Calkins syndicate many
thousands of dollars with no other Sc
curity than the Ill nourished shares of
the newspaper syndicate.
Putnam endeavored to find out
whether or not Deering, in releasing
the 10000 Globe shares when Calkins
wished the securities returned so that
he might sell the paper, acted on his
Judgment alone, or at the order of some
official of the bank. Deering could
not remember. He only knew that he
had surrendered the stock to E. s.
Heller. an attorney for the bank
1t developed yesterday that the pub
locations to be sold next Tuesday in
Green's court, though separate cor
porations in one respect, were bound
by financial ties to the Calkins syndi-
cate, which received money sent to
them, but credited it to the different
publications account.
Referee Green cautioned George T.
Klink, the trustee of the defunct syn
dictate, not to allow officials of the
company too much latitude in handling
papers and moneys belonging to the
company. This mild caution was
brought about by a protest from At
torney Putnam, who declared that no
one connected with the bankrupt firm
should be allowed in its offices.
