Special Meetings at nj. E. Church.

Have you been to the special meetings
at the M. E. church this week? If not,
you have missed much that should not
have been missed.
Last Sunday evening Rev. Lietch an
nounced at the beginning of the service
that on account of the stormy weather
the meetings would be postponed until
further notice, but before the service
was closed so much interest was shown
that it was thought best to continue the
meetings indefinitely in spite of the
weather, and great interest is being
shown.
The subject for the Sunday morning
sermon will be Walking With God "
Evangelistic services in the evening.
Sunday will be big day and you can
not afford to be absent from any service.
Much interest is being taken in the
services of the week, and much good is
being done.
Services every night next week, with
special music at each. Sidetrack every
thing and attend them.

About l2O rods below the Livingston
NIL IS rock cut in the canal which has
not been blasted out. At the water
level at the entrance to the cut. shown
IN the Illustration elsewhere, the cut is
probably not to exceed five feet in
width. While vast amount of water
would pour through it under a full head
1t would undoubtedly tend to check the
hoW, and may have caused the break to
be more serious than it otherwise would
have been.
During January, to the 10Th, the pre-
cipltatlon amounted to 2.90 inches. Of
this LOS fell after the 14th, and it is
possible the fall was heavier on the
plains than here. Probably half the
water came from the melting of De-
cember's SHOWS.

EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS
FOR IDAHO LUMBER CO.
Ground for New Yards Purchased on
Railway Spur.

l.. K. Aldrich, of Blackfoot, was in
American Falls last week, installing
II. L. Tucker as local manager of the
Idaho Lumber Company, and taking
inventory. The company has purchased
lots on the spur west of the stock-vards
and has large force at work erecting
buildings and sheds. The stock will be
more than doubled.
The buildings will be first class, and
adapted to the lumber business. The
office building is 36x4O feet, lime shed
l6x3O, cement and plaster shed 16x3O,
unlording skidway 83 feet long, piling
shed for common boards 72 feet long,
and the main piling shed 36xl4O feet.
Everything will be under shed except
posts, lath and shingles.
The cement and plaster houses, un-
loading shed and shed for common lum-
Der will front on the spur, 200 feet in
all.
The office building will abut the north
line of the property, with driveway
aroud it, so that all material in the
yard will .be easily accessible. The
moulding and finishing 16x20, and sash
and door rooms 20x40 are located in the
main building. Work will be rushed as
fast as the weather will permit.
c. H. Newport, the former manager.
will remain with the company here or
have the management of yard else
where, at his option. His services have
been eminently satisfactory and the
company has enjoyed good business
under his management. In point of
location the company has been at
great disadvantage for the past year.
Its new location is as good as any and
with an enlarged stock the business
should materially increase.
R. L. Tucker, the new manager, needs
no introduction. He was manager of
the Weeter Lumber company until
about year ago, when he purchased
an interest in the Oliver & McKown
Hardware company, which he recently
disposed of. He is we'll and favorablv
known, is thorough lumberman, and
it is only natural that he should return
to his first love.

POTATO GROWERS ASSOCIATION
Meeting to Organize One to Be Held at
Aberdeen Tuesday Night.

w. S. Alvord informs the Press that
a meeting will be held at Aberdeen Tues
day night, to discuss potato growing
and marketing, and to promote the or
ganization of potato growers associ-
alton. Mr.. Alvord was the prime mover
in the organization of such an associa-
tion in Colorado seventeen years ago.
The association is still in existence and
Its members are drawing dividends
from it every year in the way of good
prices and ready market. To obtain
top prices uniformity in variety, a su-
perlor product and the best methods of
sorting and marketing must be adopted
and cooperation throughout employed.
These are possible only through the for
nation of an association.

To Organize New Club.

A meeting will be held at the school
house next Tuesday evening at 7:30 for
the purpose of organizing club to
study civies and parliamentary law.
Men, women and children will all be ad-
mitted. Professor Thompson, who is
sponsor for the idea, was member of
such club which resolved itself into a
legislative body, held debates and en-
acted measures after the manner of
Congress, and much information was
thereby secured.

ENLARGING ORCHARD.
Landsvatter Bros. Will Put Out Several
More Acres.

Landsvatter Bros. of Aberdeen have
ordered trees to materially increase
their orchard. Heading the list is 200
Winter Banana, and a good number of
another variety of hardy winter apple.
A number of trees of summer, fall and
early winter apple trees were also in
cluded, with a few cherry and pear.
They will also put out small fruits. The
trees were purchased on stipulation
that payment would not be demanded
until the trees paid for themselves.
Messrs. Landsvatter are enthusiastic
on fruit growing, and would put out
forty acres if they could afford to doso.
Several other Carey settlers will put
out fruit this year who hesitated last
year on account of not having water.

Wheat Under Six Feet Of Water.

w. S. Alvord has ten acres of wheat
under water from one to six feet. The
field is in basin and was flooded by the
turning of the water out of the low line
canal Monday. The field was in fine
condition, the wheat being about six
inches high when the snow came, but
will undoubtedly be killed before the
water sinks into the ground. He is of
the impression that no irrigation will be
required in that field the coming season.

One advantage this country has that

large number of experienced dry farm
