RAILROAD USES MORE COAL.
Local Freight and Branch Passenger
Add Much to Consumption.

The putting on of the local
freight, with headquarters here in
Shoshone. has increased the work at
the coal sheds, an extra man being
required to supply the coal for that
and for the branch passenger. 1t
adds one more man to the local pay
roll. and helps some in the years
business.
The addition of the extra coach
for the branch passenger is rather
more expensive item than might be
believed 1t requires about three
tons more coal day for the branch
engine to pull the train with the
extra coach, to Ketchum and back.
The coal represents to the railroad
an actual cost approximately s.
ton. or SIS a day for the better SER
vice. The Improvement is a popu-
lar one. however, with the whole
travelling public.

TAKE OUT THEIR PHONES.
Many Twin Falls Business Houses Re.
fuse to Say Hello

Owing to some disagreement. which
at this distance has not been easily
explainable, many of the business
men of Twin Falls have refused the
telephone service of the Bell com
pany, and write or telegraph Ur send
telepathic messages where they once
used the phone. The service is
about laid out owing TO the ,iisa-
greement, it being next 10 impossible
to get connection from the outside
rhe real cause of the disagreement
is shrouded in mystery, SO lar as
the public has been informed by
either of the contending parties.
A movement is under way to start
a strong independent company, to
take in Buhl and other Twin Falls
towns, though it will be hard to
the. outside service given by
the Bell company, as the independ-
ents can not make the long distance
connections, not having the lines,
and this takes away at least one
half of the value of a system.

A LINCOLN COUNTY ARTIST.
Modest Painter Who Hides His Abil-
ity in ObscuritY.

Without any very good reason for
so doing. the Journal has neglected
to mention until now a visit some
weeks ago to the studio of J. P.
McMeakin, of Hagerman one of the
shy, rare geniuses who may be found
in the most unlooked-for places of
the world, doing things that are so
different from their surroundings
that the drop of quicksilver is a
part of the water into which it may
fall
Mr.. McMeakin is self-taught
painter; a man who paints what he
feels, believes, and does it in his-own
way, without the conventions of art
schools. or slavish following of the
old masters" who painted and died
so long ago. If he lives in the black
lava canyons of the Malad and the
Snake, and into those canyons there
settles a marvellous yelvety purple
that one might never find elsewhere
il the world. and he paints that 9TH
erwise incredible royal purple as
other artists never saw it because
they never saw the black lava can
yons, he is the truer ar..st for por-
traying what is actually there. You
can go up and down those beetling
gorges, from daylight to dark. and
see those puppies that you perhaps
never dreamed before, and it is true
art to paint them as they are. Pur
pie like royal robe wraps so many
of his canyon views; tangible ma
terial, like a piece of richest cloth,
thrown around and shadowing the
whole scene. But it isn't all purple;
there are beautiful, glad, blue
mountains, there is the fresh green
of grass and waving fields, the SHIN
mering water that you Just know"
must be so full of fish that you can
almost see them rise; and there are
snow drifts. the dying of
the old year and the time of resur-
rection for the new. Mr.. McMeakin
is a versatile painter, who can make
a rose that you can fairly smell,
cherries that the birds would peck
at, and spider webs that an artist
would try to brush away so as to see
the picture they were so skillfully
painted to screen. A visit to his
modest studio would be a revelation
to anyone who loved the beautiful.
Mr.. McMeakin sells an occasional
picture, but they are almost as much
4 part of his life as most mems
children would be to them, and it
may be believed that he grieves over
parting with them as the mother
would grieve over the beautiful
daughter who marries and leaves
home. But still, some of his can
vases have found their way outside,
and have been highly commented
upon. enough to bring the flush of
pride to the artists cheek. He has
exhibited at Boise and at Portland,
flattering notice.

HOW THEY MUST PAY.
Yet Another Ruling on Requirements for
Water Payments.

Another important clause in the
recent ruling of Secretary Garfield
regarding the Minidoka project is
in regard to time of payment of the
water right. There has been much
discussion of the question and sew
eral fool rulings have been made at
Washington. The first one was to
the effect that settlers must pay
in ten annual payments. or in other
words, a settler must take the ten
years period, whether he wished or
not. Next came ruling to the eff
feet that the payments might be
made in five years. Now comes the
first ruling that is based on the evil
dent intent and wording of the law,
which says that he money for the
construction must be returned in not
ruling is as follows.
The clause designated (1) of the
public notice issued under the pro-
visions of the reclamation act for
the Minidoka project, Idaho, under
date of March 8, 1907, is hereby
amended to read as follows:
Il. The building of the irriga-
ton system, $22 per acre, payable in
not more than ten annual INSTALL
ments, each not less than S2.20 per
acre provided, however, that full
payment may be made at any time
of any balance remaining due, after
certification has been made by the
commissioner of the genral land Of
flee that full and satisfactory COM
pliance has been shown with all the
requirements of the law as to resi-
dence, cultivation and reclamation.
The following extract from a re-
cent report or order from Secretary
Garfield is of Importance to many
settlers on the Minidoka project 1t
applies to the reclamation of the
high ground under the gravity sys-

Minidoka project lying in Lincoln
county, except small strip near
the east end of the Cassia county
side:
In view of the fact that certain
areas within the Minidoka project,

Stark Delicious Apple

IS a wondrouS success, and solely
on its genuine merit is the most
talked of apple today. This is what
one of the greatest commission
houses in the country says OF it
Last year we secured one carload ofDel-
5cious from Washington and placed them
IN small lots in Chicago and large Eastern
cities at 40 per cent more in price than 9th
er varieties we handled at that time. w no.

asked for them this year before our supply
arrived. This year we are selling Delicious

They are Just what particular people want

nor too sour, a fine locker and have good

consider it the best all round apple, esPec-
ially for table use, and in our estimation
Delicious should head the list ofall apples
