|AFEECr OF CLOSING SALOONS

/ r. @. Jones returned from Malad
"Wednesday, where he was called on
business. While there he made in
EQuiry concerning the effect on the
Flown Of closing the saloons, and re-
2pOrts that results have been entire
lily beneficial. Il talked with several
Eof the prominent old settlers" he said
| to the Press, among whom was a
formerly strong supporter OF saloons,
and all agreed that conditions had
Improved. One notable thing was the
pabsence OF loafers. Formerly there
were always a number Of men and
bboys either hanging around the sa-
ICONS or loafing on the sidewalks.
These are all gone now, all at work.
People would not be willing to re-
turn to old conditions"
j The writer, who was in Malad two
weeks ago, noticed the same improve
ment. 1t was the first and only one
of many visits covering a period Of
years, when he did not see in
Etoxicated men on the streets or in
public places. In conversation with
business men he was informed that.
CTdu0 Was UcttcI dHu cOiiCCIioAo cos
Ter to make.
People who formerly had their pur-
;chases charged now pay as they go,
and old accounts are being settled.
Patronage of all kinds of entertain
ments has increased, and families are
seen at them who were seldom there
during the days of the open saloon,
better clothed than they ever were
before. There are two possible ex-
ceptions to this general improvement
the hotel and restaurant. The
liquor drummer comes no more and
the all-night restaurant is a thing of
the past. 1t Is the same story that
follows the closing of saloons every
where, and will be experienced in
American Falls before many months.

RAILROAD TALK.

Information reaches the Boise
| Statesman from the Lemhi country
to the effect that the Oregon Short
Line is planning to build road into
that region. A party of engineers is
at Junction working on the line, and
the men are reported as offering to
wager that their road will get into
that valley ahead of that being con-
structed from Armstead by the Pitts
burg, Idaho & Gilmore company,
which is supposed to have the Hill
interests behind it.
This new line, 1t is stated, is to be
constructed from point on the
Mackay branch. Returning north
ward to point called Reno, 1t will
from there follow Birch creek to it's
source, and, crossing a low divide,
strike the Lemhi, passing down that
stream into the Lemhi valley. The
engineers have run the line as far as
Junction and are pushing on.
The Pittsburg, Idaho & Gilmore
people have their construction crews
spread out on the line, and the tun-
mel gangs have been fully organized.
Construction material and men are
being rushed in. This company is
also extending its surveys southward
and 1t is the impression in this coun-
ty that a line is being projected,
which, after crossing the Birch creek
divide, will swing southwestward in
to the Lash river country.
All this activity, If it means no
more, indicates at least that the rail-
way men have their eyes on the ton
mage in prospect from developments
OF the silver-lead deposits of the
Lemhi region. These are believed to
need railways transportation only to
make them heavy producers, and If
they are as good as they seem, the
building of railway line or lines
into that section will lead to great ac-
tivity in that part of the state.

WATER MASTER BILL is NOT
EFFECTIVE.
Signature of Governor Affixed Toe
Late to Hold Elections
This Year.

Water masters of irrigation dis

provided by an act of the Tenth SEES
sion of the legislature, but are to be
appointed by the water commission.
ers, according to a decision reached
by the commissioners of the First
Second and Third divisions, who met
in this city yesterday. This announce
ment, 1t was stated, Is due to the
fact that the bill, which provided for
the election of the commissioners on
the first Monday in March OF each
year, was not approved by Governor
Brady until 1t was too late to call
such an election. Some of the COM
missioners have the appointment of
several water masters.
The members of the commission
are J. 0. Webster of Idaho Falls, for
the First division, James Macmillan
of Twin Falls, for the Second, and J.
H. Lowell Of Caldwell, for the Third.
State Engineer Stephenson presided
over this session. 1t was agreed that
the appointments should be made by
petition. These, 1t was stated, shall
be addressed to the commissioner Of
the division in which the irrigation
district is located, stating in every
case the salary which the water u.s.
ers have agreed upon.
To Save Settlers Expense.
Regulations governing proof Of
completion Of works and beneficial
use were changed. Public notice will
be made as formerly, but the exami-
nation of the works will in every
case be made by the water commits
sioner of the division. Heretofore
this examination has been made by
licensed engineer at the expense OF
the water users. This change of pro-
cedure, 1t is expected, will result in
more uniform reports.

COMPARING NEW YORK AND
|. IDAHO.

New York is large state with
dense population; a state where they
do things in good form, yet some
pcomparisons of newspaper work done
bin that state and this, make inter
resting reading.
In New York the little towns OF a
few thousand people scarcely ever
have a newspaper; in Idaho, every
Elittle town OF few hundred people
has its newspaper or is busy trying
to get one. Backfoot with $500
people has two papers; Arco with
three or four hundred has a paper,
Fand Moore with perhaps a hundred
hand fifty has its Lost River Times;
,Mackay with a few hundred people
has its paper and printing office, its
tine streets and water system, $500
lying idle in the village treasury, and
putting on city airs. Grand View has
a school house and a commercial club
land enough pluck and ambition to be
Fan Albany or Pittsburg.

100000 ACRES OF IDAHO-OREGON
LANDS UNDER THE PRO-
JECT OF NEW co,

G. s. Speer, vice president of The
Trowbridge & Niyer company Of Chi
cago, is in the city today and while
here stated that contractors are now
figuring on bids for the construction
work for irrigating 100000 acres OF
land under the Owyhee High Line
system in Idaho and Oregon.
A force of so surveyors has been at
work for nearly three months on this
project running surveys and making
estimates and their work is sufficient
ly well completed to warrant the COM
pany in asking for bids from contrac-
tors, and sufficient contracts have
been entered into and enough owners
OF decided lands in the section af-
fected have indicated their intention
to enter into contract, to insure the
completion of the system.
The lands included in this man.
moth irrigation project are about
100000 acres nearly half of which
Is In Idaho and little more than
half In Oregon. 1t lies along the
south side of the Snake river and ex-
tends from Dead OK fiat near Weiser
to Murphy south of Nampa and in
cludes the best land there is in the
country, none of 1t being inferior to
the famous Payette lands which are
iirectly across the river from much of
this land. A large portion of it is al
ready held in private ownership, the
owners, many Of them, already hav-
ng signified their desire to enter into
contract with this company to deliver
water to them.

PRIZES FOR GOOD MENUS.

The patient housewife who is trying
to cater to the needs of her family on
moderate income, has to solve daily the
same old problem, what shall | cook
for breakfast, for luncheon, for dinners"
The very monotony of the question sets
on ones nerves, and there is lot of
real difficulty in planning wholesome
variety for each day. The CHICAGO
RECoRD-HERALD has mercifully come
to the aid of puzzled housewives by
printing in each issue a set of three
menus, with recipes, under the title,
MEALS for a Day" What IS more, it
gives four cash prizes every week for
the best of these menus, and women all
over the country are invited to compete.
The terms of award and the names of
the latest winners may be found in any
Monday issue of THE RECORD HERALD.
That is the day, too, when the "Martha's
Management column appears, with lis
helpful hints and advice to cooks and
houSekeepers. Marion Harland's Sun
day page.also gives group of selected
recipes, which if cut out each week and
kept in scrap book VIII make a most
valuable collection. Women not
familiar with the prize menu feature of
The RECoRD-kERALps should investigate
it at once. Many have found it handy
means of getting fresh ideas and secur-
ing cash for those they already have.

A RUSSIAN DOCUMENT.

One of the worst, if not the worst,
papers which any register of deeds of
this county has ever been called upon
to record was presented to W. r. Chel-
lis few days ago 1t was power of
attorney issued in Russia, first written
in the Russian language and then trans
lated into English. The document was
issued through George Nicholas lift,
United States consul to Warsaw, Russia,
and is dated Feb "a, 1907. 1t gives
Jacob Michailoff Roginsky the right to
exercise all powers named in it. Every
page is covered with Russian revenue
stamps, some of them with the corners
clipped off. On the last page is gummed
a blotch of sealing wax with the imprint
of seal upon it and this holds silken
string binding the pages together.
When Billy received it he looked at the
first page written in the Russian Ian
gUage scratched his head and said he
guessed he couldn't copy it. He made
a three days search of the town, look
ing for Russian capable of copying it
and finally found one, a workman in
the employ of the ID j Murray Mfg.
Co. This man worked nights and has
finally got the instrument inscribed on
the pages of a volume. The translation
in English will next be copied
The part written in the Russian Ian
guage looks as foreign to an American
as If it were scrawled IN Chinese
hieroglyphics. 1t is placed on record
because the party in whose possession
it is, wishes to sell some land in this
county owned by parties in Russia.
