Richfield Center of Trade
What the New Irrigation Projects Will
Do For This Town.

TIL vast amount Of good farming
land that is tributary 10 Richfeld can
hardly be realized, and when it is all
settled on the amount of trade that
will center in Richfield, will be some
thing to make one set up and take
notice. The $4,000 acres OF Carey
Act land, under the Idaho Irrigation
Company's project, will all he dispos-
ed of inside of another year, and the
trade of the settlers viii center at
Richfeld. and each 80 acres will be
occupied by a family, which will
bring an enormous amount ot trade
to this city.
Beside the Idaho Irrigation Co. S
land. there is about 5000 acres of
land. under the Settlers Ditch & Re
servoir CO. S project, that will be all
taken and under water, ready for use
next spring
The land that is under this ditch
is filed on as desert claim, and each
settler pays his pro rata share of the
expense that is required to build the
ditch and reservoir and the land has
most all been filed on in tracts of
from 40 to so acres, of which the
largest portion is tributary to Rich
field. which when settled will throw
the trade Of a large number Of fami-
lies to this city, which together with
that of the Idaho Irrigation company
settlers makes a very fattering pros
pect for the future of Richdeld.
D. W. Yaden, Miss Della Yaden,
John Coates and George Brown are
the original promoters of the Settlers
Ditch and Reservoir Co.. and the wat
er right was filed in October of 1907
and since that time the land has
been gradually filed on until at the
present time, there is but few hun
dred acres of this tract left, and it is
expected by late this fall that the
entire tract will be filed on.
The company will take their water
out of Little Wood River, about a
mile above Richfield and carry it in
their ditch, six miles below this place
where large reservoir covering al
most 600 acres of land will be built,
and filled with water at the time,
much of the water of the Little Wood
river is going to waste, which will in
sure plenty of water for the entire
tract at all times, from the resesrvoir
the ditch will extend for 10 miles
farther, towards Shoshone.
Men have been working on the
bitches all spring and the rock work
is all completed and it is expected
that water will be delivered on part
of the land this fall.
The land covered by this ditch is
practically all good and lays in such
a manner that it will be easily irri-
gated and some of it comes within
two miles of Richfield and will pro-
badly double in value in very short
time.
With all of the Idaho Irrigation
Company land, together with this
tract, is it any wonder that people
have great confidence in the future
of Richfield and it is any wonder that
men who make safe investments a
study, are investing their money in |
Richfield?

Easy Victory From Bellevue Bunch

The Bellevue team was outclassed
in every stage of the game and the

won from the start, and only twice
during the game did a Bellevue man
get as far as third base.
Robinson and Rhubesky composed
the battery for Richfeld and the work
they did was excellent; in fact they
did such excellent work that the base
men and fielders had no show to let
the people of Bellevue see how they
could play ball. Rhubesky fooled the
Bellevue team with his pitching at his

PACE is NOT
NECESSARILY
KILLING ONE
UNITED PRESS LEASED WIRE. ]

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 23.-An
optimistic note was sounded today
by Dr. Luther Halsey Gulick, direc-
tor of the department of child hy-
giene of the Russell Sage Foundation
of New York, in an address on New
Attitude Toward Health" delivered
at the general meeting of the South
ern California Teachers Association.
DR.. Gulick took the stand that the
pace of the modern business and pro-
fessional man is not necessarily a
killing pace, as is generally assert
ed. He stated that, while men are
doing more business in a shorter
time than heretofore, the new atti-
tude toward health and hygiene
makes it possible for them to do this
without necessarily shortening their
lives. DR.. Gulick asserted that the
men and women of the present day
are healthier and have more working
power than did the men of so or 100
years ago He ascribed this to the
fact that the diseases which caused
the great bulk of human vitality and
life to be wasted have been con-
quered by medical science.

POSTAL CARDS
HELD UP

Postmaster Squire Farrar calls the
attention of the public to the ruling
in the postal laws, section 416, para
graph 4, as follows:
Postal cards bearing particles Of
glass, metal, mica sand, tinsel or
other similar substances, are unmail
able, except when inclosed in en-
envelope with proper postage at
tached Ito envelope) or when treat
ed in such manner as will prevent
the Objectionable substances from
being rubbed off or injUring persons
handling the mails"
During the past few weeks, thou
sands of beautiful and expensive
postal cards. bearing tinsel and 9TH
err substances removable by contact
with other mail matter and the
clerks hands. have been sent to the
dead letter office, and never reach
their destination, due to the above
ruling. At the Salem Office there are
Christmas cards which have been
mailed to friends and relatives of the
senders TO places thousands of miles
away which are being held, and will
eventually go to the dead letter de-
partment.
Postmaster Farrar regrets very
much that this class Of postage can
not be handled, when mailed con-
trary to the rules covering their
classification. The proper manner in
which to mail a tinseled postal card,
according to the postal requ rements,
is to place the card in an envelope,
the envelope sealed securely and the
address and postage placed on the
outside of the envelope, and not on
the card, should it be enclosed in d
transparent envelope such as the
postal card dealers furnish to their
purchasers Two cents is required
when the envelope is sealed or when
the writing is on the card enclosed
in the transparent envelope.
Among the hundreds of cards now
held as unavailable matter I'm the Sa-
lem postoffice, the cards are placed
in the envelope and the stamp and
address upon the outside, but, ow-
ing To the envelope being unsealed,
Il cannot be handled. Some very
beautiful postal Christmas gifts will
never reach the one intended, due TO
the lack of caution in mailing. and,
inasmuch as Postmaster Farrar de-
sires 20 send them forward, he is
compelled TO hold them for the
dead letter Office, as provided by the
rules OF the government postal laws.
The unprotected tinseled card law
was adopted due to many cases OF
poisoning of the mail clerks by suf-
fering the flying particles OF metal,
glass. sand and other poisonous sub
stances to get in their eyes and
down the throat.
THE pubic should be careful
said Postmaster Farrar today, lin
enclosing the tinseled cards This
mail matter will be handled with
one-cent postage, provided the card
Is enclosed In an envelope upon
which is written the address, and
carrying the postage on the en-
Yelope.

STOCK
SWINDLERS
ARRESTED
UNITED pREss LEASED WIRE. ]

New York, Dec. 23!-Charles
Adams, whom the police believe is
member of a gang of swindlers
who have preyed upon wealthy Eng
lishmen for many years, was ar
raigned today on a charge of using
the mails to defraud.
The scheme of operation which
the postofice inspectors believe the
gang used was unique.
The authorities allege Adams
would write letters addressed to a
dead man, in which he conveyed his
gratitude for the financial aid he
once gave him, and told of the pros
perity of the writer, who had gained
considerable wealth in the mining
game.
The police allege Adams then Of
fered to put his friend in the way of
making money, and offered to let
him in on a stock buying deal that
would give him shares in the mining
property for considerably less than
they were worth. The letters often
fell back into the hands of heirs,
whom, the postoffice inspectors say,
usually jumped at the offer.
Adams and his partners are al
legged to have cleared $25O,O0O dur
ing the time they worked their
scheme.
