LIKES THE COUNTRY.
New Settler Compares American Falls
to His Former Home.

Charles Schroeder came here from
Krupp, Washington, about the first
of April, and filed on a homestead
in TIE foothills between American Falls
and Rockland. When asked how Amer
lean Falls compared to the part of
Washington he came from, Mr. Schroe-
der said: 81 think this is the better
country. There is more rain here than
in the country surrounding Krupp, and
| look for a greater development here
than | witnessed there during the past
seven years. | made a little stake
there and believe can make another
and larger one here. In few years
there will be big change here. This
year will not tell SO much, because
most of the grain is spring seeding, and
much of it in late, and cannot be ex-
pected to do as we'll as fall seeding. |
am not much an advocate of spring
seeding for dry farming. In Washing
ton we never think of plowing later
than the first of June for fall seeding.
With the new methods that will be in
troduced by the experienced dry farm
ers from Washington better yields ard
surer crops will result. What farming
| have seen here has not been done in
the right way"
Mr.. Schroeder has purchased resi-
dence lots near the water tower and
will build comfortable residence soon.

Change of Train Service.

A new time card went into effect
Monday. Two new fast trains were
put on, but do not stop here. They
are numbers Z and s. Number Z, west
bound, comes at 9:20 p. m. and No. s.,
eastbound, at 1922 a. m. Trains and
are annulled. They are replaced by
trains IL and II. Train II, westbound,
arrives at 4:48 p. m, replacing No. l.,
which went through at 8:27. Train
No. east bound, arrives at 2:05, re-
placing No. 2, at 11:09. Train No.
arrives as in the past at 6:35 a. m. and
No. 6 at HOS p. m. instead of 11:59.
The trains that carry mail are No. 5,
west, 6:35 a. m; No. 6, east, 1l:05 p.
m; No. 81 east, 1882 a. m; No. II, west
4:4S p. m.

Look Out for Fast Trains.

Fast train number II, at 2:05 We'd
nesday afternoon, missed by only few
inches, wagon driven across in front
of it. The train passes through at a
speed of about forty miles an hour.
Train number Z, at 9:20 p. m. also does
not stop. Eastbound passenger trains
do not extend to the crossing when they
stop here, and knowledge of this fact
probably responsible for the drivers
passing in front of it. Witnesses say
the train did not miss the wagon more
than eighteen inches.

Good Dry Farm Home.

G. w. Thayer is building 12xls ad-
dition to his dry farm residence, which
will make it 22x2S feet, and a very
comfortable home. Mr.. Thayer's S
place lies just above the canal, and
about eight miles north of American
Falls. Mr.. Thayer says grain is look
ing very fine. His spring grain is
looking almost as good as his fall grain,
and everything looks promising for q
splendid crop.

Irrigation: Something Better. -

IL Is perhaps enough to say Of irriga-
ton that whoever once engages in ir-
rigsted agriculture or horticulture does
not return TO the eastern or middle west
farm with its crop uncertainties and
often meager returns. System is abso-
lutely essential on any farm, east or
west, for the best success. II is indis-
pensable in irrigation. The irrigated
farm is often hkened to a factory. pro-
ducinz given quantity of marketable
product in given time without likeH-
hood Of serious variation. It must
have the same pains-taking manage
ment as the factory.
The business man, trained to the sys-
tematic management of affairs, finds
in irrigation the opportunity for an at
tractive outdoor life without the sacri-
fee of business activity or the emolu-
ments to which ne feels his talents en-
titled him. Good management is such
an essential part Of successful agricul-
ture under irrigation that, though his
acres be few, the owner of ranch may
employ his time proftably in oversee
ing the work rather than in bending his
back to the toll Of the field. He may
find plenty TO do in planning his crops,
directing the work and marketing his
produce.
On the other hand, a ranchman de-
voting himself single-handed 10 some
such speciality as clover seed. sheep or
hogs fed on alfalfa Of his own growing,
with little grain from his own fields
TO balance the ration, can perform pro
digious tasks and reap q muniiceat
reward at selling time. The variety of
crops that may be grown and the null
tituie Of things that may be done with
an irrigated farm TO bring in profit,
supply the longing Of people with wide
IL different tastes. Even the man or
woman with an acre or two may have
poultry and small fruits and win a pro
fit by carefully directed industry and
intelligent marketing. Irrigation Age.

Collie Watched While Master Slept

Sergeant Luck, of the morning watch.
was passing along Mcdaniel street, Fri
day morning in the gray of dawn, when
he saw the peculiar spectacle at the cor
ner of Rockwell street of a man lying
asleep on the sidewalk with large collie
dog coiled up comfortably on his chest.
Apparently the dog was asleep, but,
when officer Luck approached the man,
the dog raised it's head and growled and
showed its teeth. Each time the officer
attempted to approach the dog growled
and snarled 1t was a predicament. The
dog would not permit an approach and
the man slept on.
The officer finally hit on the expedient
of striking matches and Tipping them at
the dog. This caused it to back slowly
away and Sergeant Luck was at last
able to get close enough to shake the
man. He awoke rather dazed, and said
that he had been drinking.
He had been attempting to return home,
followed by his collie dog, which he al
ways carried with him, but at the gate
sleep had seemed such a thoroughly de-
lightful thing that he had lain down and
composed himself for the night. The col
lie dog, seeing that something was wrong,
had coiled himself up on the man, evil
IDENTIFY bent on protecting him from any
harm.

Fire Laws Waste to West End Homes

At 8 o'clock Saturday afternoon one OF
the most disastrous fires that has ever
swept the residence district of West End
was under control of the city fire de-
partment, after it had for an hour raw
aged three of the handsomest homes In
that section at the corner Of Peoples
and Gordon streets.
About 2 O'Clock the alarm was turned
in, when fire, already pretty well adj
vanced, was discovered in the residence
OF r. f. Graves, 227 Peoples street.
Following is a summary of the damage:
227 Peoples, practically total loss; res
tdence of r. F. Graves, valued unauthori-
tatively at about 5000.
231 Peoples street, almost total loss;
residence of FULLY ]. Brooke, valued at
about $500.
225 Peoples street, considerably dam
aged; residence occupied by Lorenzo Bel
lamy, valued at about 5000.
Each Of the burned houses was two
story residence. A great deal of furniture
was lost among them in the flames. Most
of the furniture was saved from the
Graves residence, a little was taken out
of the Brooke residence, and nearly all
was saved from the Bellamy home.

Fold Mother Her Child Was Hurt

Mrs william p. Key, who lives at M
West Fair street, received word Thurs
day that she was wanted urgently at the
telephone of the grocery store on the
corner. The messenger said that he
thought 1t was about her little boy. She
was sick but she hurried to the store as
fast as possible. The message was that
her little boy had been fatally hurt at
school.
without returning home she hurried to
the school and found that the boy was
quite we'll and had received no injury
of any sort. Someone had played an
April Fool joke.
The shock from the fright she receiv-
ed forced her TO go to bed as soon as
she had returned home, and during the
night her overweight nerves almost
threw her into commissions.
Two boys, sampel Lemming and Fred
Laird, were accused before the record
err Friday morning of having been res
ponsible for the serious joke, but the
cases against them were dismissed. The
recorder said that If the perpetrators
could be found he would give them a
maximum sentence.

Jugde Gober Holds Store All Night

MARIETTA, Ca, April 2-For twelve
long hours last night, George +. Gober
ex-1udge of the superior court of COBB
county, and his son, walked alone in
vacant storehouse in Marietta in order
TO hold possession of the same, located on
the east side OF the public square of the
city of Marietta.
Mr.. Z. G. Gilbert, a prominent perchant
Of Marietta. had a fve-year lease on the
building and some time ago moved 10
another store I'm a different part Of town.
Judge Gober recently sold the storehouse
property and went to Mr.. Gilbert and
demanded possession of same. Gilbert
claimed a lease and Judge Gober claimed
that Gilbert had relinquished his lease.
Late yesterday afternoon, under pre-
tense that he wanted to examine the
building, Gober got Gilbert to unlock the
front door and together they went in the
building, when Gober Immediately de-
clared himself in possession and refused
to come out, whereupon, Gilbert said he
would give him thirty seconds to come
out The judge refused to come out and
Gilbert locked him in. After walking up
and down the building for several hours,
the Judge finally got the back door open
and sent after his son, who he put in
charge of the building until daybreak,
when he again took charge.
At present, the Judge is still encamped
in the vacant storehouse. Gilbert is on
the outside looking in. The whole town
is very much interested in this proceed
ing and all day long the citizens have
been going over to see who is in posses
sion of the store.
Both Judge Gober and Mr.. Gilbert seem
to believe in the old saying that pos
session is nine-tenths of the law"

COLUMBUS, Ga, April "A dozen
leading clothiers Of Columbus today
sent a telegram to Senators Bacon and
Clay and Representative Adamson at
Washington urging them to oppose the
proposed tariff on hosiery and gloves.
The telegram said:
I'VE consider it an imposition on the
American people that there should be
costly protection for the benefit of man
ufacturers. We don't advocate nor
want a change in the hosiery and glove
schedule. We consider that best in
terests of the American people served by
leaving the tariff on these goods as it
is today"

Jackson May Soon Have Trolley Line

JACKSON, Ga, April "a meeting be-
tween Mr.. w. j. Massee, president OF the
Central Georgia Power company, and the
committee on the promotion of public in
terests of the chamber of commerce, was
held in Jackson Friday for the purpose OF
considering the matter Of power for
the city The committee from the cham
Der of commerce is composed OF J. u.
Jones, chairman; ]. H. Carmichael and
W. F.. Watkins.
This committee has found out just how
much power can be used in Jackson, by
the city, and the manufacturing estab-
lishments, and when the committee goes
before Mr. Massee it will be able to state
the city's position in the matter.
Mr.. Massee spent Monday at the dam
and in Jackson and while here meet
ing was arranged for Thursday, which
was afterwards changed by wire to Fri
day, at the request of Mr.. Massee. Work
on the dam is going on nicely after the
delay of a few days ago occasioned by
the rains. Mr. Massee is well pleased
with the progress being made on the dam.
While in the city the president of the
big water power company stated that he
would give Jackson the trolley line and
power and anything else the people want.
This is the first definite information the
people here have had that Jackson can
get power Mr.. Massee seems disposed to
meet the people of Jackson and Butts
county half way in any proposition look
ing to the building up of this section.
If mutual interests are considered and
mutual concessions made, it is thought
jackson and Butts county will receive d
great deal of benefit as a result of cheap
power and the trolley line that have
been promised by the president of the
Central Georgia Power company. 49,
