Experiment Proved Profitable.

D. S. Mcqueen tried the experiment
of narrowing his grain last spring, with
very satisfactory results. His grain is
on bottom sod ground, which makes it
less necessary to conserve the moisture
than on uplands, but the narrowing
proved very beneficial nevertheless. At
the time of narrowing, the grain was
six or eight inches high and the har-
rowing seemed to injure it so much
that all the field was not gone over.
The portion that was narrowed, how
ever, is far better than the other, and
convinces him that it pays to loosen the
surface after the winter storms have
packed it. Mr.. Mcqueen has potatoes
as large as small apple and all kinds
of vegetables of the finest quality, and
promises to furnish a good exhibit for
farmers day.

CKcumstancial Evidence.

Clrcumstantial evidence is said to be
thestrongest evidence obtainable. Act
ing on that theory the Press announces
that Harvey Anderson and Miss Clara
Johnson were married in Pocatello yes
terday afternoon, by Rev. NJ. E. Coen.
and left on the flyer for honeymoon
trip to Seattle. Mrs. Coen witnessed
the ceremony. Mr.. Anderson may not
have become a benedict, but circum-
stances are very damaging. He and
Miss johnson left for Pocatello arrayed
in finery such as brides and grooms love
to affect, and were accompanied by
Rev. and Mrs. Coen, both of whom
wore an air of secrecy. The Reverend
was clothed in ministerial garb, wore
white shirt, linen collar and had a
clean face, completing the chain of cir
cumstances. Mr.. Anderson is a member
of the contracting firm of Anderson &
Company, and one of our most worthy
young men. Miss Johnson is a sister
of Mrs. Engstrom, and is very highly
esteemed by every one. If this we'd
ding is go, the Press extends congrat-
ulations. If it is not a go the editor
will have business out of town for the
next few days, and will foreswear
sieuthing forevermore.

Visit of a Pioneer.

John Calder, who conducted the first
restaurant in American Falls, discov-
cred gold at Bonanza Bar, and was
probably the first white settler in this
part of the Snake river valley, came up
from Bonanza Bar. Thursday, to see
his friend of long years. w. A. Bennett.
Mr.. Calder has had an interesting
career. From bank cashier in the early
days in California he became pros
pecter and has been among the first to
reach many of the famous mining
camps of pioneer days. He is credited
with being the first settler in these
parts, being engaged in placer mining
at Bonanza Bar. Soon after the build
ing of the railroad he conducted a res
taurant in American Falls, which is
said to have stood near the northwest
corner of the Oliver House property,
probably in the street just outside of
Mr.. divers fence. He did not continue
this long, however, and for twenty
years or more has been living on his
farm at Bonanza Bar.
This is Mr.. Calder's first visit tc
American Falls for three years, during
which the town of memory has beer
changed almost beyond recognition
He enjoyed visits with several friends
of early days, but especially that with
Mr.. Bennett, who has long been one OF
his closest friends.

Experiment in Potato Planting.

Ed. Nelson is going to get into the
dry land potato growing contest. He
has a small patch which he believes is
as good as any in the country, and
which he believes will be better than
any at digging time. He has had pota-
toes large enough to eat for several
days. He believes that he has solved
the problem of growing potatoes with
out irrigation, getting his ideas from
observations made last year. He
planted his potatoes this year about
three inches below the bottom of
plow furrow. They came up and soon
grew strong vines, AS the vines grew
he cultivated the dirt around them,
filling the furrow, so that his potatoes
are seven or eight inches below the
surface, and thrive in spite of the dry
weather. By this means he gained
depth without weakening the plant by
a long fight to break through the sur
face. He may have to use a posthole
augur to dig them but he believes that
he will have crop that will justify the
labor.

1t is the only safe way.

1t is the only safe way.
The visitor and sightseer will also see
much to interest and instruct. 1t is not
all a sagebrush plain, forbidding in ap-
pearance. The Raft River mountains,
many peaks still covered with snow, are
near at hand to the south; while the
Sawtooth range of mountains, 80 miles
to the north, cut the horizon like the
jagged edge of saw, an everlasting
reminder of the majestic in nature. Big
butte, Twin buttes and Pillar butte rise
modestly out of the plain as if to DEM
onstrate something out of the usual in
the economy of nature. And as one
travels abroad scores of wonderful things
come to view at unexpected moments,
showing the marvellous formations of
the marvellous country which is attract
ing so much attention, and may need
another touch from my pen.
The Snake River.
The Snake is remarkable stream.
Rising in Fremont county, bordering the
Yellowstone park in the extreme north
eastern part of Idaho, it runs south
until American Falls is reached, thence
in westerly direction through the en-
tire width of the state, forming the
boundary between Idaho and Oregon
and Idaho and Washington on its way
north, thence diverging northwest
through the Palouse country in Wash
ington to where it empties its flood into
the lordly Columbia few miles below
Pasco. Lewis and Clark fioated down
it's current from near where Lewiston
stands to its mouth, and it marks for a
long distance the Oregon trai' where
the pioneers of blessed memory trekked
across the continent. 1t also has the
distinction of having more falls of note,
where power of almost unlimited extent
can be obtained, than probably any
stream in the United States. These
embrace Idaho falls, American falls,
Twin falls, Shoshone falls and Salmon
falls. 1t means that great industries
will some day spring up at all these
places. Its waters can also be used for
irrigation, making the stream in all re-
spects notable one, and an important
factor in the development of the state.
Idaho has been richly endowed by
nature. With its mines of gold and sill
yer and all the useful metals, its wealth
of forests, the possibilities of the soil
for agriculture and fruit culture, it
seems destined to take its place as one
of the great states of the Union.
