IRRIGATE ORCHARD FROM WELL
One of the Marvellous Wells of This
Section to Be Put to Work.

A ten acre apple orchard, about two
miles from American Falls, will next
year be irrigated from one of the many
marvellous wells in this vicinity. This
well is POI feet deep, and provides
water enough, it is believed, to irrigate
much more than ten acres. A three
inch cylinder pump, driven by four
horse power gasoline engine, has been
operated continuousally for fourteen
hours without apparently diminifhing the
water in the well. The well is a ten
inch driven well, and when water was
struck it rose forty feet while the drill
lings from the last four feet week be-
ing drawn out.
This orchard will be on A. Sullivan's s
place, about two miles south and east
of town. Mr.. Sullivan filed on the land
last September, when 1880 acres of
land surrounding American Falls was
thrown open to entry. Mr.. Sullivan
went upon the place at midnight on
September 25 last, and began building
shack for temporary residence.
His selection proved to be particularly
desirable. All of it has a north slope,
which is considered ideal for dry farm
ing in this section, and eighty acres is
level enough to irrigate, and Mr.. Sulli-
van is confident the supply of water is
much more than enough to irrigate the
land to be set to fruit trees. On this
level eighty is knoll large enough for
a reservoir site, and one will be made
there this fall. The we'll is located at
the knoll, and irrigating the orchard
will be a very simplematter. The well,
pump, engine and pumphouse, which is
a good one, cost about 81, 100.
Mr.. Sullivan is planning to have al
his place in crop next year, and may
rent some besides. He has forty acre!
in grain this year, but has been pas
turing it on account of the high prict
of feed. He is planning the ideal farm
home, and will come near having it.

PREPARING GRAIN EXHIBITS.
Suggestions for Exhibitors at the Dry
Farming Congress.

The following instructions TO pros
pective exhibitors at the international
Dry Farming exposition at Billings,
Montana, October 25 to 20, to be held
in connection with the Fourth Dry
Farming Congress at Billings October
26 to %, have been made public.
We want especially grain and forage
exhibits at this time. In selecting
samples for exhibition, you may find
helpful the following hints, or instruc-
tions, always keeping in mind that sam
pies, to make the best showing, must
be cured away from the sun IN a dark
but very dry atmosphere.
Preparing sheaf exhibits of grain.
Select desirable heads just as the grain
enters the yellow ripe stage. Choose
we'll filled heads that you think will
make a good representative showing
for the type of grain which you desire
to exhibit. Cut the straw as close to
the ground as possible so you can eX-
hibit full length of straw. Make up
sample not to exceed 200 heads. Tie
with some soft cloth or narrow ribbon
lust under the heads, at butts and IN
center of bundle and place in darkened
room to cure or ripen off. When time
permits careful work, unite the bundle,
spread out, moisten straw by sprink-
ling and carefully strip all adhering
leaves from the straws. With a soft
cloth polish each straw. Now, neatly
tie up the bundle with baby ribbon or
any narrow ribbon of appropriate color,
tying firmly, yet neatly, in at least
three or four places upon the bundle.
See that all heads are evenly placed,
making one compact, circular bush.
This is very important. Do not use
string in tying bundles of grain. The
string is liable to cut the straws when
they become dry. See that each sam
pie is neatly and accurately labled,
wrap in some thin, soft cloth and put
where it will be suspended in free
current of air, but in dry and out
OF the DledCnulS SilCSe VI viz SNit'
Preparing sheaf exhibits of forage.
Select the most leafy types to be found
in the field. Get best and most erect
individual specimens obtainable. Cut
them as close to the ground as possible.
Put in a loose bundle, not more than
four or five inches in diameter and
loosely wrapping in newspaper, OF
better still thin porous cloth; hang in
/ the dark to cure. To retain its color,
forage sample must be dried or cured in
the dark, away from the sun but with
plenty of dry air When well cured,
select the individual stems that have
retained the best leaves with their Leaf
color and make up exhibit bundles
three and a half to four inches II
diameter. Do not strip a single leaf Oh
branchlet from the stem, since we are
to show for forage value and want tC
retain all the leaves possible. Timothy
bronze grass, orchard grass, millet anc
other grass samples are spoiled for for
age samples by stripping. Tie IN neal
manner with narrow ribbon, fastening
bundle securely in three or four places
1t is desirable to take samples giving
full length of stems at each cutting o.

clover, alfalfa, or other foroge cut more
than once in the season. Give date of
each cutting.
A collection of native grasses should,
in each instance, show seed or head
either in blossom or full seed with full
length of straw or stem.
Threshed grain samples. All threshed
grain samples should consist of at least
one half bushel, or twenty to thirty
pounds

Cooked Food Sale.

and steady diet of it will make man
actually love his mother-ln-law. The
Press recommends it to the public as be-
ing all and more than is claimed for it.
The only fear is that the supply will
not be sufficient to last all day, so get
in early.

the provisions Of a state law which al
lows them to direct for what purpose
roads shall be used. the vehicles pro-
hibited from using the same, and pro-
viding penalties for those who violate
the laws.
1t has been the custom for years for
patrons OF the resorts to take their ma
chimes along and to get the benefit Of
drives through the mountains and along
the splendid highways. When the law
was enacted by the general assembly
under which the Bath county solons took
action 1t was stated that in some sec
lions the owners Of logging and sawmill
wagons We're given to using the roads
with their heavy wagons at all seasons
of the year and that they did q vast
amount of damage. and no legislator ex-
pressed any belief that the law would
ever be made to apply to the driving of
automobiles.
AS the law Is general and can be ap-
piled to any county in the state, 1t 10
not impossible that other counties may
resort to the same action, especially In
view of the fact that in some Of the
AGRICULTURAL sections there Is great deal
Of aversion to having the machines pass
along the highways. While the reguia-
tons of the supervisors Of the county OF
Bath do not go into effect until Friday
Of this week. there Is already move

by going to the courts. There is no re-

MARRIED ON HIS DEATHBEO
AUGUSTA CHAMOT WEBS
NURSE WHO ATTENDS HIM.
Decorated With Legion Of Honor,
Rewarded for Heroic Services
in Boxer Rebellion.

SAN FRANCISCO, September N.-Au-
guste F. Chamot. decorated by France
with the Legion of Honor cross and
thanked and rewarded substantially by
half the governments Of the civilized
world for his heroic service in Picking
during the Boxer troubles. was secretly
married Thursday last in a cottage. be-
tween Larkspur and Escalle. in Marin
county, to Miss Elizabeth Dollar. who
has nursed him through several illnesses
In recent years.
The ceremony was performed by w. r.
Magee. a Larkspur justice of the peace.
while the once wealthy Swiss lay on
what is believed to be his deathbed. To
their few intimate acquaintance present
he declared that he owed his life and all
the happiness of his declining years to
Miss Dollar, whom he first met as a pro-
dorf- Astoria. and that he felt unable to
repay her other than by leaving her his
honors. His fortune and the remarkable
collection Of unusually costly curios he
brought from the orient have been dis
sipated.
Since coming to this country in 1901
his fortune slipped through his fingers
and two years ago, as president OF the
Peters Machine Company. he went
through bankruptcy in this city.
A little later his wife divorced him
and married Frank o. Renstrom, an au-
tomcbile, dealer. formerly the Chamot
chauffeur.
Chamot. a Swiss, was proprietor OF the
Hotel Picking at the period of the Boxer
uprising in 1900. He and his wife saved
from starvation for seventy-eight days
the 1900 whites and 5000 Chinese be-
seged within the British legation by fac
ing the bombardment each morning and
bringing In food from outside the picket
lines.
The Chamots received from the Chinese
government 500. 900 indemnity for the loss
of their hotel and several hundred thou
sand dollars from the allied powers in
recognition of their heroism. China made
Chamot q mandarin and gave him val
liable presents. France decorated Mrs.
Chamont as well. as her husband.
Chamot was noted as an authority on
Chinese art and as collector. His
splendid collection Of oriental art objects
was sold at public auction in New York
city in 1907, following his ruin by the
San Francisco earthquake in the proceed
ing year.
Chamot is said to have slapped the
face of American Minister Conger for an
alleged insult to Mrs. Chamot at q time
when the Chamots were supplying them
with food.

Its work consists in the collection Of
important diplomatic correspondence
which Is printed and circulated in the

and material necessary to an accurate re-

order that the whole diplomatic service
may have a complete general grasp of
American commercial and political rela-
tons.
