Manager Charles II. Fitch, of the
Idaho Irrigation Company, Ltd,
made the following statement at his
Office at Richfield yesterday
"As many of the settlers on the
Company's Richfield and South Good
ing segregations seem to be in doubt
as to when the first deferred payne
will be due on their water contracts
and also are anxious to know what
the attitude of the company was as
to collecting maintenance for the
season of 1909, Mr. Green, the Su-
perintendent of Construction, and ]

settlers, and | am very glad to be
able to announce it this tilne SO
hat all settlers on these segregations
may know without delay what is ex-
pected of them
Water has now been delivered on
both of these segregations for some
ime and will be delivered on all the
other segregations of the company,
including the North Gooding and
Dietrich segregations, on or before
April 1st, 1910.
1T should be noted that, addi-
ion to the instructions relative to
he first deferred payments on the
eiehfield and South Gooding con
racts, the company decides to collect

the present season. Maintenance

payments will be collected
Settlers should understand that
this action of the Company in no way
controls the question of settling up-
on and proving up on the Richfield
and South Gooding segregations. This
is a matter between the Land Board
and the settlers. The land board has
extended the time during which the
settlers must move on to these segre- 4
cations to December 1st, 1903, and
has stated that further extension

west of town, some dry land wheat
is growing that is expected to yield

IN land on the butte above the ditch
inc and couldn't possibly be watered
because of it's altitude. Yet this
first year, it is producing a crop that
will more than pay all the expenses
Of breaking up, seeding, harvesting
and marketing the crop. The vol
,anic ash soil, such as that on the
Richfield tract, is generally def
,ient in humus, or vegetable matte,
according to Prof. Alex Mcpherson
and other good authorities. For
this reason, the first year is almost
sure to yield a light crop, as the
soil has not yet had chance TO de-
velop the necessary vegetable food
supply With almost inexhaustable
fertility of the soil, this section may
BE expected to make some wonderful
records, once the land is broken up.
A. B. Wells, who owns a fine
farm near Pagari, brought in to
he Recorder Office this week some
wheat which is estimtead to make
between 25 and 80 bushels of wheat
per acre. 1t is on irrigable land.

tenn complete, but this year was not
irrigated. and Mr.. Wells says the
conditions were exactly similar to
those of any of the dry lands where
no water could be secured. The
stalks were not so high, the taliest
one being not more than feet in

tion, just what growers the word
over have sought to produce
Wheat at Is to 80 bushels per
acre is hardly to be compared with
wheat at 40 to so bushels. But
since there are thousands of acres
Of good land tributary to Richfield.
that will produce paying crops of
grain without irrigation, this will
one day become a great asset to this
own and community.

SMITH MAY GET
A NEW TRIAL
Matter Comes Up on Allegation
of One Juror in the Case
Having Formed an
Opinion.

Some surprising developments ma
terialized in the circuit court this
morning. when Attorney Kaiser ap.
peared and filed a motion for a new
trial for A. b. Smith, who was
brought into court TO receive SEN
tence for the crime of assault with
intent TO rob, OF which he has been
convicted, and Abner Lewis, a Juror
who sat in the case, was accused by
an attached afidavlt, signed by At
torney Kaiser, and another signed
by c. w. Scott and w. Harrington,
two reputable citizens OF Salem, OF
false swearing upon his examtna-
ton as a Juror, on which statement
the defense claims grounds for a
new trial.
The afidavit OF c. w. Scott and
". Harrington alleges that on the
1st day OF May, 1909, the Smith
case was talked over by Abner Lewis
and the signers OF the afiidavit, and
the facts discussed in reference TO
the charge OF the indictment against
Smith. IL Is further claimed that
Abner Lewis said that he believed
smith guilty; that he did not think
him insane. and that he did not be-
ieveN in insanity pleas.
Deputy District Attorney Charles
McNary objected TO the motion by
laying that ,inasmuch as the Juror
expressed his opinion OF the case
hree months prior TO the trial,
here could be ample time for the
uror to change his views OF the
ase. after second thought and furth
