OLD INDIAN BATTLE GROUND

Bayard Hopkins, son of w. J. ffoI
kins OF the Oasis Hotel in this city
and who is working with an engin-
eering party on the Clover Creek Sc
gregation north of Bliss, reports that
while some of his party were survey
ing bitches short time ago they dis
covered an old camp where there had
probably been an Indian massacre.
The party found several Old Spring
field rifles an old Springfield mus
ket and an old British musket of the
pattern of 1862, also an old stage
lamp, parts of several old wagons
and several graves. Also there We're
a lot of bones scattered around the
place and large quantities OF arrow
heads. Mr.. Hopkins had several ex-
ira fine specimens of arrow heads
that were picked up in this vicinity.
This spot is seven or eight miles off
he old Boise-Kelton trail and was
the scene of a fierce battle
between white men and Indians
lumber of years ago.

pecially during the dry years; but
handling them on a big scale, and
averaging the cost through a per-
iod of several years, these big grain
fields beat gold mines far and away
as real revenue producers.
There is much Ian din Lincoln
county, above the ditch lines, that
can be utilized for dry farming.
Quet Johnson, living northwest of
Richfield, harvested this year close
to 1000 bushels OF dry land grain
His farm should be none better than
hundreds of others that could be To-
Gated, above the ditch line While
the irrigated acres of Lincoln county
may be considered her greatest re-
sources, still the dry lands are of
great value, and those who have
failed to secure good irrigated farms
might with profit look over some
the higher lands.

UNCLE WALT OF ENIPORIA.
Where the sunfiower Grows.

The weather, as you'll all agree,
I is most intensely hot; and yet /
would not sail the sea in an ex-
pensive yacht; for | can swipe a
chunk of ice, and buy a palm leaf
pan, and they will keep me just as
nice and cool as any man. My poor
old legs all spawned are, from chas-
ing through the town, but if you
brought a motor car, I'd surely turn
it down; if some time, weary of my
cares, wish to end them all, my
humble home has cellar stairs, down
which man may fall. They say it's
mighty fine to soar upon an aero
plane, away above the city's roar,
and close to Charles vain; but
should it seem to me discreet, some
day, to break my back, I'll walk a
block and take a seat upon a rail
way track My friends are going to
the woods to camp and hunt and
fish; to haunt the silent solitudes
is some mems dearest wish; but if
a similar hermit plan to me should
e'er look wise, I'll go and visit with
the man who does not advertise.
There is no sense in making tracks
for Timbuctoo or Rome, when you
are anxious to relax, for you can
rest at home There's nothing that
men travel for, in parties or alone,
hat can't order from the store, at
any hour, by phone.

1t is estimated by che expert agri-

here that the total yield in sugar
beets for the season will be approxi-
mately 100000 tons, for which a
price OF $50 ton will be paid to

The factories Will consume about
$4,000 or possibly 10000 tons of
coal during the running season.
The beets are lower in sugar bear

cause OF the exceptional rains this
The estimated quantity Of
sugar that viii be produced during
the run is 14S,000. 200 pounds. The
annual consumption Of sugar in Utah
and Idaho is 100000 pounds, Of
which quantity 20,0oo,000 pounds is
produced at home and the remaining
100000 pounds is imported. The
quantity to be exported will therefore
be about 100000 pounds or So

That the outside world is becom

concerning the business openings and

These letters are from people all

people in every walk of life, from the

all be gladly welcomed.

ers, and if man is not able to en-
gage in farming for himself there is
a good chance to get an interest in
the crops by farming for some one
else, as there is large number of
ranch owners in this section, who do
not care to engage in farming them
selves, that would gladly furnish a
good man with the land, team and
farming implements and allow him
large share of the crops for mis-
labor, and many a man in the east
ern states furnishes everything and
pays the land owner two fifths and
even half the crops for the use of
his land, while in this country he
could get everything furnished and
get half he raised and as the yield
is much larger to the acre and the
crops bring a much larger price iu
this country the move could not help
but be to his advantage
The Idaho Irrigation company has
some excellent land yet on the Rich
field tract and there are several re-
linquishments for sale at small bon
us, so that there is still good chance
for one to get some valuable land at I

DRY FARMING
Much Good Land in Lincoln
County Above the bitches.

George A. Day, State land com
missioner, has been appointed by the
governor as one of the representa-
tives of Idaho to the National Dry
Farm Congress, at Billings, October
26 to 20
Idaho has a lot of dry farming
resources. Over in Fremont county,
the Webster G. Woodmansee wheat
ranches produce $4,000 bushels of
wheat this year. This grain was
harvested, cut, threshed and sacked
ready to haul off, for 65 cents an
acre less than the twine used to
cost for a single acre in the Middle
West. The wheat this year will
be worth close to a dollar a bushel,
enough to make capitalists out of
every farmer who has a good crop
The Webster & Woodmansee
farms are not the only dry farms in
the state. Indeed, they are but
very, very small part of the land
even now being cultivated, while
there are many thousands of acres
that have not yet been taken up,
that will prove valuable for farming
even with out irrigation. While ir
rigation is the more attractive, the
more profitable, the more certain, the
other utilizes a great state resource
that cannot otherwise be reached
and the dry farms of the state will
be worth millions upon millions of
dollars to Idaho.
The state has been looking care
fully after these dry land resources.
Shut off from the forest reserve

and the values that the state was
guaranteed under the en-

the state land board has been taking

Denver Post to Issue Supplement
Describing Country
Capital Newsj

Much impressed with the possi
bilities of the southwestern part OF
this state, S. J. Dutch, representing
the Denver Post, returned to Boise
last evening where he will be joined
by D. F. Yost, also of the Post who
made the trip in company with Mr..
Dutch to Weiser, Caldwell, Payatte
and Council, but who stopped in the
latter place to investigate the Seven
Devils mining district, and made pre-
parations for securing pictures of tho
exhibits and people at the Inter
Mountain fair next week.
Everybody gave us the glql hand
declared Mr.. Dutch in speaking OF
his trip through the southwestern
part of the state. "and they are all
certainly great boosters in that coun-
try.
THE people showed US walnuts,
almonds, peanuts, beg pumpkins and
also the big apple that they grow at
Council. We viii iA7ue the handsom-
est supplement on Idaho ever pub

When we came to Idaho. VIC
bought tickets direct TO Boise, ex-
pecting to work back to American
Falls and Twin Fa.1s and through
that country, but when we arrived
here we were advised to visit the
southwestern part of the state. We
are now six days behind our sched-
ule and with our tickets limited to
October ] 5 we may get as far as Sho-
shone, before they expire and then
we viii have to wax back to Denver
unless we can get an extension"
While in the southwestern part Of
the state during the past week, Mes
sers Dutch and Yost visited the Dor
man orchard and other orchards in
the vicinity of Caldwell, inspected
the Deer flat reservoir and were en-
tertained by the mayor and the Com
mercial club of Caldwell. At Pay
cite similar courtesIes were extended
to them and every assistance given
by citizens in obtaining data for spec
al articles. At Weiser the represen.
1atives of the Post were royalty en-
ertained, spending half a day at the

IN RieAaela
Mr. Whittier comes mighty recon-
mended as a man who thoroughly
understands his business and does as
ne agrees and there is no doubt but
what the sidewalks of Richfeld will
be something TO be proud OF when
completed.
The material to be used will all
be first class and the walks will be
eight inches thick with a fine finish
on top and viii be under the super
vision Of the city engineer through
out the job
The walks will be laid on both
sides Of Main street, from the depot
at present, but there is no doubt
that after the citizens have got
taste Of what comfort good walks
are in the wet season, but what an
other year rolls around we viii have
walks in the residence district as
well as in the business section and
it is now conceded by most Of the
citizens that the walks should be
built the present season to the
church and the school house.
When once city Improvements get
a start, it is worse than the small
pox to spread and in short time
you can expect to see good side
walks all over Richfeld.
