Explorers Are Watched.

New York, September 9.-The two ex- plorers upon whom the worlds eye has been fixed during the past few days spent the day yesterday busily preparing for their return to the United States. Cook, in Copenhagen, announced that he had definitely arranged to sail next Satur- day for New York. Peary, according to reports was still delayed in Battle Harbor, Labrador, probably either wait ing the completion Of repairs to the Roosevelt or the arrival of coal.
 Dr. Cook appeared yesterday at high official function. The University of Co., penhagen conferred upon him the degree of s. c. D. (doctor of science). there- by recognizing, it was pointed out by his friends, in an important official man. ner, his claim to the discovery of tho pole. Dr. Cook has cancelled his en- gagement to lecture before the Geograph- teal Society of Brussels and will reach New York about September 20 or 2. Captain Roald Amundsen will probably accompany him.
 pr. Cooks plan to send ship from Copenhagen to Greenland to bring back to civilization his two Eskimo com panions on his exploration trip will not be carried out unul next year. as Dan ish officials have informed him that it is now too late in the season for Q trip to Etah. The expedition, 1t is stated, will be started early next spring.
 In scientific circles both in America and abroad the prevailing inclination seems to be to await direct word from both ex- plorers before arriving at conclusion as to their respective achievements anl although bell!gerent attitude was still preserved in the two camps open hos- tilities were largely suspended.

MAKE A GOOD START.
New Commissioners Turn Out Lots Of
High Class Work

The new board of county commits
sioners closed a record-breaSing ses-
sion last Saturday after going
through mass of work that was ex-
pected to last them a much longer
time As individuals they have
shown themselves men of large brsi-
ness experience and they have
brought their abilities to bear on
county matters with the same system
and forethought that would be ex-
pected of those who head important
business enterprises. The published
proceedings in this issue of the Jour
nal bear evidence of the work gone
over in the earlier days of the ses-
sion, but notwithstanding it was the
first session of the year and the first
session of the board, they we're prac-
tically through the work by Thurs
day night and everything was so ar
ranged and systematized that little
was left for the clerk and his deputy
10 complete. 1t is saying a big lot
for the outgoing board that county
matters were in such fine shape thar
the new board could take up the
thread of business without a break of
any kind and without loss of time
or waste of effort.

Fine Paintings.

J. Z. Lane has just finished two
fine large paintings. one a marine
and the other a mountain valley
scene. The marine is a most strik-
ing scene, with a wealth of color
and the lure OF the sea in its tints,
with sea and cloud and shadow
blended into a wonderfully effective
combination. 1t represents a rugged
shore, where the long, foam-crested
waves come rolling up to the cliffs.
like an endless succession of war
riors marching on parade. For
miles and miles they come, from far
beyond the distant, misty horizon.
The other is a majestic mountain
range for a background. while in
the foreground and leading on to
the higher elevations is a brighter
colored mountain valley and
meadow. Mr.. Lane has found a great
demand for his work, and has been
busy almost steadily this winter,
painting for his pleased customers.
These, however, are the largest and
finest canvases he has shown.

GERMAN DRY FARMERS.
old Country Agriculturalists VIII
Try Crops Without Water.

George Day, special land agent
and land selector from the state
land board, was on the train Satur-
day morning. going to Boise, after
having selected a lot of land in
Oneida county for dry farming pur-
acres in the lot, south of American
Falls, and the filing was made in the
Blaekfoot landoffice. The filing is
made for colony of enterprising
German dry farmers from over in
Washington, who having made a sue
cess of such work over there, have
been looking for room to expand and
work on a larger scale, They VIII
nay the full state price of $40 an
acre for the land The land was not
selected by the state until it had a
buyer in sight.
Dry farming is coming more and
more into favor through this section
of the west. While it is not the equal
of irrigation. it is wonderful sub
stitute where water is not to be mad
Over in Fremont county, many thou-
sands of acres of dry farm land are
cultivated, and some great crops
have been raised The Journal last
week gave some fugitive illustrations
of the success of dry farming in TINS

SHEEP sCAB NEAR owINzA.
Bad Case Breaks Ont in Center OF
the Winter Range.

Sheep Inspector o. C. Dunn, OF
Shoshone. reports the finding of
badly infected flock of sheep near
Owinza, in the center of the winter
range. The sheep number about l.
500, and belong to a man named
Miller. He has quarantined the ami
mails, and is preparing to have them
dipped and cared for so that the
disease may not spread. He worked
all through the rain and snow of last
week, risking his health and fulfill
ing his duty to the stock interests. He
believes that it will be possible to iso-
late the sheep, and prevent the
spread to other flocks that are now
safe. The bad weather. however.
has been very conducive to the
spread of the disease, and it will be
a hard task to stamp out the trouble
Mr.. Dunn had found the sheep in
his district in exceptionally good
condition. through the summer and
fall, and the breaking out of this
flock is a surprise. 1t is hoped that
the disease may be checked before it
spreads to other flocks.

CareyAct Opening
Two Openings to Take
Place in TEis Vi
cinity

There are two Carey Act openings
to come off in this section in the
near future, which should attract
much attention.
The first is the opening of the
Glover Creek segregation, at Good
ing, February Sth. This land com
prizes in part the old Mullins segre-
CATION near Bliss, but is considera-
bly, larger, about $4,000 acres in all,
and it extends north and west of
Bliss, as well as eastward towards
Gooding. The altitude is the lowest
but one of any Carey Act land Of
fered for a long time, the King Hill
tract being the only exception that is
lower Some of the land runs down
i altitude of only $500 feet,
and the highest is but 5000 feet
The lana was apportioned to the
Twin Falls North Side Land & Wa
ter company, and is to be watered
by an extension of their present Je-
rome and Wendell canals The wa
ter is to be carried across the Malad
river in a flume. There is around
Bliss some of the finest land to be
found in this part of the state, and
there should be general stampede
month off, and it has been so little
advertised that comparatively few
know much about It. But the lano
and climate are all right, and the
fortunate holders of good farms un-
der this project will have good rea-
son to congratulate themselves.
The other opening is to come later,
about the first of June. when the
Idaho Irrigation company opens the
Dietrich tract, east of Shoshone. This
will be more than $4,000 acres,
along the line of the Oregon Short
Line railroad, and comes up within
two miles of ShOshone. 1t is to be
high priced land, the state having
sanctioned a price of $50 an acre.
The great dam on the Big WOOD
river is to be raised 10 feet to in
sure ample water storage supply
making it one of the greatest dams
in the world The lands lie at an
elevation of approximately 1000
feet, a little higher than Shoshone,
which is 1870 feet above sea level |
This land is of exceptional charac-
ter, and its close proximity to the |
railroad of course enhances its
value The town of Dietrich is TO |
be plated and opened, so that the /
drawing can be held there. The (
will build fine hotel, an
office building and other utilities,
and other capitalists plan to put in
a bank, some stores and other need
ed facilities for doing business, be-
fore the opening.

LOWER EXPRESS RATES.
Important Reduction Secured for
Southern Idaho.

January 18th there went into Of
4 feet throughout Southern Idaho re-
duction in express rates from Salt
Lake City and Portland. 1t has
been brought about through the
action of the League of Southern
Idaho Commercial Clubs. which filed
bill of complaint with the Inter
state Commerce Commission last Oc-
tober. The present rate from Salt
Lake is $500 and from Portland
s5.75. The new rates which became
effective January 10th, are $3.50
from Salt Lake and $500 from Port
land This reduction will be the
means of saving thousands of dol
lars a month for Southern Idaho and
will be a permanent benefit to the
state. The League of Southern Idaho
Commercial Clubs has been prepar-
ing itself for a year to take active
steps to secure a reduction in freight
rates and express rates. Another bill
praying for reduction in rates from
New York City to all points in South
ern Idaho has been filed and hear
ing on the same will be held in the
course OF 80 or so days The rate
from New York City into Southern
Idaho is now a combination of the
rates from New York to the Missouri
river and from the Missouri river
to Idaho. The bill now before the
prays that the express
be required to publish
through rate instead of combina-
ton rate and that that through rate
shall not be more than s11.00, $3.50 (
less than the present combination.
Senator Borah has been requested (
to argue the case before the Inter
state Commerce Commission and has ,
stated to the officials of the League
that unless prevented by official ETH
auette he will be glad to make
study of the case and TO argue it
at the proper time.

IdahO's Fine Fish
Three Prize Hatcheries
Turn Out Millions
of Trout

Idaho will be the one best state
in the whole West, fro mthe fisher
mans point of view.

are to be Matched at and distrib-
uted from the three hatcheries be-
longing to the state The eastern
brook trout in its native habitat IS
Jumbo if it reaches a weight Of
two pounds: but these eggs were
taken from fish that under the stim-
uulating influence OF Idaho sun and
air have reached a weight of six to
eight pounds each-four times the
size of the original eastern stock.
These eastern brook trout eggs
are not the only prospect in sight
for the fisherman. A large lot of
Loeb Leven trout eggs have been
secured from California, and are to
be distributed through the state.
The Loeb LeYen trout is thick
shouldered, gamy fish. brought orig
inally from Scotland, and is one of
the finest varieties known. If there
is anything its superior it is proba-
bly, the rainbow trout; and a ship
ment of these eggs is being brought
from Colorado. For the present it
is not possible to take enough trout
eggs to supply the three hatcheries,
so eggs have to be bought outside.
But it will be only short time IN
til the state will be able to produce
all the eggs NEEDED, right at home.
1t vii require a lot of them, for the
estimated capacity of the thre hatch
cries is 100000 eggs a year.

eggs were secured last year, and

lake trout is of a distinct variety.

a weight of more than 20 pounds,
and it is believed to be an ideal fish
for lakes like Occur d'Alene and

established first; it has been in oper-

the annual precipitation. This will
make irrigation easier, in that it re-
quires less of it to accomplish given
results and it will make dry farm
ing more profitable, for it will not be
SO dry as heretofore.
1t ought to be worth any mans
while to secure a good dry farm if
possible, for the land is some day
going to be extremely valuable if
well handled

HEAVY WESTERN SHOWS.
Unusual Weather Conditions Poster
the Trainmen.


Trainmen say that the weather con-
ditions of the past ten days have
made worse train service over the
Short Line than they have had for
many years past. The conditions
have been very unusual, in that the
snow and rain was mostly in the
west, at the lower attitudes. There
has been comparatively little in
terruption of traffic crossing the
Rocky range, at a high elevation;
but over in Oregon, down almost TO
the sea level, and all the way east
through Idaho, the snow and rain
has been constant and annoying
A striking little illustration was
noticeable on Thursday, when there
was considerably more than foot
of snow in Shoshone, and at Poea-
tello there was not flake on the
ground, with hardly enough on the
great hills around the town to make
a SNOWFALL.

The greatest meeting in the history
of Western livestock raising was held
at Pocatello last week, when the Nat
ional Wool Growers Association met in
its annual session.
! Pocatello more than ''made good'' on
the reception and entertainment. The
weather was bad, keeping many away
and interfering with the festivities of
those who did come; but the good peo-
pie of Pocatelo did themselves proud
in so many ways that to name over the
good things they did would be almost
like catalogue of all the graces-
A number of speakers of national rep
utation addressed the convention on
various phases of the live stock indus
try. Major Fred Reed, who spoke on
The Arid West, was one of the most
popular speakers. Clifford Pinchot,
chief forester and head of the forestry
bureau, had asked for an invitation,
and was expected to speak on the for
est reserve, but did not come.
The great national wool warehouse
plan, corporation to be financed by
the sheep men themselves. the ware
house to be located in Chicago to store
the wool and cut out the middle men,
was adopted. 1t represents a large
amount of money, of which Idaho has
put up considerably more than her share
Close to 25, 600, 600 pounds of wool have
been subscribed for the enterprise,
this amount being assured to go through
the warehouse.
Wool buyers and commission men
were PARTICULARLY active through the
session, paying high prices for the wool
wherever necessary to try and break
the warehouse agreements. Some wool
has been sold as high as 20l4 cents
pound. Some of the growers accepted
the high prices, and then put part of
their profits into the warehouse stock,
to help the enterprise along for future
years
Among the local features worthy of
especial mention was the excellent news /
service of the Pocateilo Tribune, and
the fine printed program issued by that
paper. 1t was work of art, as their
news was work of authority
