Billion Dollar Grass.

A. A. Ericsson brought to David Bur-
rell's office Thursday, sample of Bill
lion Dollar grass measuring five feet in
height. He purchased ten cent pack
age of the seed last spring, obtaining
about thimble full, and from it grew
enough to seed a half an acre. 1t
seems to do remarkably we'll and Mr..
Friesen believes it will prove a most
profitable crop to grow. He also has
some fine Hungarian millet and sugar
cane which will be on exhibition the

ABERDEEN TEMPERANCE RALLY.
No Man Can Afford to Straddle This
Important Question Says the
Rev. j. B. Baer.

That no man can afford to straddle
the fence on the Temperance question
in the United States was the opinion
expressed by the Rev. j. B. Baer in
Aberdeen last Tuesday night. We
reason assigned by this veteran pro-
hibition campaigner was that these are
the days of barb wire, to set on which
is deleterious both to general health
and clothes. The occasion was the
opening prohibition rally in the western
end of Bingham county. That that
part of the country will go prohibition
in the election on September Sth, was
evidenced by the size of the audience,
which comfortably filled the Presby-
terian Tabernacle, and by the interest
expressed.
The opening gun was fired by Chair
man Martin L. Haines, who emphasized
the Importance of the question and the
need of registration. In a pointed
speech he expressed his conviction that
prohibition law is only a good be-
ginning to prohibition. The citizens of
the community, he said, must insist on
its enforcement, and watch the candi-
date for Office with that in view. The
admitted evils of the liquor traf-
fic were presented by the Rev.
Graham c. Hunter. He quoted the
speech of Mr.. John Koren before
the National Brewers association:
First-That from greed certain saloon
men export the weakness of others
and refuse implicit obedience to law. {"
Second-That the saloon harbors
crime, gambling and social evil. "
Third-That the demand is artifcally
stimulated, Fourth-That the article
sold is impure. Mr. Hunter went on to
say that regulation had so far proven
quite ineffective and attributed the
growth of the prohibition sentiment to
that fact.
The Rev. Baer made the third and
last speech of the evening. While he
prophesied that Aberdeen would have
a saw-mill some day when logs are
fioated down the great reservoir, he
pronounced 1t entirely undesirable that
Aberdeen should include a saloon
among its business houses.
A committee of nine were appointed,
which has already arranged for an open
air mass meeting on the Tuesday night
before election, to which outside speak
ers will be invited. The committee
includes Rev. j. B. Baer, Martin L.
Haines, c. L. Myers, G.. A. Bartel.
Albert Pletz, Henry Toevs, Graham
c. Hunter, c. w. Brown and John R.
Foulks.

MONTANA MAN SATISFIED.
Thos. Briscoe, Well Versed in Farming
and Farm Conditions, Spent
Several Days Here.

1t is not surprising to us here to hear
man from an eastern state say he is
satisfied with the prospects of our
country, nor are we surprised either to
find man once in while, who was
born and raised in a we'll developed
country, say he does not like our
country. But it is the opinion of the
man who has assisted in the develop
ment of wild, uncultivated country,
placing it in the condition which suits
the man who knows of no condition but
green fields and yielding orchards,
counts for much to the interested pub
lie.
We find in the person of Thomas
Briscoe, of Bridger, Mont, man who
has been ahead of the developed country
for many years; who knows what it is
to go onto the prairies and begin the
work which will later be taken up by
the more skeptical after it is proven to
be what at one time was claimed for it.
1t is such men as Mr.. Briscoe, with his
years of experience in the western
country with irrigated, sub-irrigated
and dry farms, who are judges of soil
and conditions.
Mr.. Briscoe comes from the banner
farming community of Montana and
when he first turned sod in that section
his friends farther east had bid him
good bye, expecting ne would starve to
death in that country. Now that the
country there is fully developed he
again is seized by the spirit to move
again into the front rank and again
fight the battle against the wild as he
did in Minnesota and Montana, and he
spent several days investigating here.
1t is not for himself alone that he is
investigating, but his Montana neigh
bors, who have learned to know him as
prosperous farmer and a reliable
informant, ask him to come here and
upon his opinion they will bank. He
sees in this section, as he told your
reporter, country equal, and in some
respects ahead of the Montana country
when he first visited it, and which is
now considered the cream of Montana
soil. He is very conservative man,
investigating carefully, for, as he says,
there are other people relying upon his
judement, and has sent home very
glowing report.
One thing of this section which i'm
presses him greatly in the fact that
man who knows and likes irrigation can
supply his wants while there are plenty
of opportunities for the dry farm class.
He offered some criticism of the meth
DDS some of our farmers use in
irrigation but says they must learn as
he did, by experience, and that it will
only be a short time until they will
learn the art and then it will be as
simple as watering stock.
From what Mr.. Briscoe says of this
country we judge he and possibly some
of his Montana neighbors will soon be
getting their mail at the American
Falls postoffice.
