SCHOOL MATTERS.
New Furniture Bought, Steam
Heat Coming.

The school board this week bought
the furniture for the new school house,
to be delivered in time for the fall term
of school. There were already on hand
enough desks for two rooms, and only
one more room will be needed. Seats
with writing tables were also ordered
for the fourth room, which will be used
for recitation purposes only. Chairs
and desks for the teachers were pur-
chased, and few Of the most neces-
sary teaching appliances.
A book case is to be built, and the
district will see to it that the law re-
quiring the maintenance of school Ii
brary is fully lived up to, with lot
more for good measure.
A steam heating plant is to be put
in during the summer, and sufficient
coal bought while the cheap summer
freight rates are in force to insure the
proper heating of the building next
winter.
There won't be any better school any
where than Richfield will have next fall
and thereafter

other manufacturing enterprises may be expected in

A large crowd attended the gradual
ing exercises Of the Eight grade and
the program of the little folks at the
new school house last Saturday even
ing.
The recitations delivered by the lit
tie folks were well received and were
exceedingly good, considering chat it
was only a week from the time they
decided to give the entertainment in
which to arrange the program. Some
splendid selections of music was rem
dered by the Misses McMahon and an
able address was delivered by Harland
D. Heist of Shoshone.
Following is the graduating class:
Myrtle Green, Aaron Johnson, Tress
McMahor, Edward Warren, Prudence
Fowler, Frank Pope and Hayden
Richardson.
Miss Myrtle Green, as president of
the graduating class, delivered the fol-
lowing address, which was greatly en-
joyed by all present.
"Mr President, patrons of our school
and fellow graduates. Seven hundred
days ago we could not boast of any
school whatever, while tonight we meet
you as the graduating class of the
Richfeld Public Schools, proud of the
attainments you have made possible
for us, grateful to our teachers for
their courtesy and patience, and ready
to give three cheers and tiger for
Richfeld, the newest and the best. In
the coming years we shall look back
with pride to the fact that we led in
graduating from this Gem city of
Idaho. I humbly request the audience
to note the intelligence and evidence of
success in life as shown IN the class
that now sits before you, and of which
you as city must naturally be more
proud than any of the material attain
ments you have made. Given the mag
nifcent climate, the great agricultural
opportunities, and a class of people
with the hustle and enthusiasm of those
who sit before me, any town must sue
ceed in the matter of water works,
electric lights and good business, but
you have shown these qualities and the
far superior qualities of the American,
in that you have put the cultivation of
the intelligence of your boys and girls,
who will soon be your citizens, above
everything else. Washington has said
that no place can exist worthy of the
name Of an American community unless

week for salt Lake and Portland. He
didn't entirely authorize the statement
that he goes to be married and to take
a brief honeymooe trip, but it looks like
a pleasant guess. He---or they--will
return in about two weeks.
John Mcpherson, agricultural director

There won't be any finer crops any
where than those now being raised on
the Richfield tract this year. Small
grain, potatoes, alfalfa, gardens, every
variety of crop that can be grown in
this section, all are doing finely.
There is plenty of water all over the
tract; water that will grow anything
that can be grown in this country.
There were few prospective settlers
who were bit doubtful as to the suffi-
cheney of the water for this year. But
there really is enough water to drown
an average eastern state. There is wa
ter already stored for several times as
much land as is actually being cult
waited. Next year, when the entire res
ervoir capacity will be available, there
will be water for $50, 900 acres.
Some nice orchards were set out on
the Richfeld tract this spring. In one
or two instances, the trees were dam
aged in transit, and of course these are
not now of the best. But generally the
orchards are very promising. 1t IS the
opinion of good horticulturists that this
will prove to be an excellent winter ap-
pie section, and apples will comprise
the greater part of the orchards to be
set out here.
The company demonstration farm,
adjoining Richfield, is being made into
one of the show places of the county.
The farm is intended to demonstrate
the very best there is in irrigation, not
as mere snowy accomplishment, but
as money-making proposition. Direc-

of the company farms here and at Diet

Notice to Farmers.

At the last meeting of the Richfield
Farmers Association, that body decid-
ed to go about getting farm seeds for
this coming fall and coming spring. 1t
will be necessary for those wishing to
cooperate in this matter to notify the
purchasing agent of the association, A
G. Draper This notice must be in
writing, stating the kind of seed want
ed and the amount of each kind wanted.
By uniting in procuring our seed we
hope to get the best seed to be had and
to do so in car load lots, thereby get
ting the benefit of the wholesale prices.
Another benefit derived from collective
buying is, that fewer varieties of each
kind of produce will be grown on the
Richfeld tract and will therefore be
more easily disposed of at the selling
time
Those wishing to buy seed with US,
who are not members of the association,
should become members at once. All
those owning "Carey land" on the
tract or those who are actually engaged
in farming on or near the tract are
eligible

The annual commencement of the AL
bion State Normal School will occur
next week, at Albion. Judge Ailshie,
of the Idaho supreme court, and one of
the best orators of the state, is the
commencement orator. The school has
been extremely prosperous this year,
the attendance having practically dou-
bled during the year. An even greater
increase is expected this year, as sew
eral new and popular departments are
to be instituted or improved---th agri-
cultural the domestic science, the en-
largement of the manual training, and
the addition of another year to the nor
NAL course. The magnificent new gym
nasium will be finished, and a lot of
other improvements will make the AL
bion Normal one of the most attractive
schools in the West.

And yet somewhere each morn and night
His name is whispered soft and low
In prayers that rise to the light
That shines with an eternal glow;
his name is whispered as of old
BY one to whom he still is dear
His mother with her heart Of gold
Breathes forth prayer God viii hear.
Though lost to her through all these
years,
He sull remains her little boy
That ran to her with childish fears
Or brought to her each broken toy;
She has not seen his notified face
Nor heard his husky. shining tone
She breathes his name to that white
place
Where angels kneel about the throne.
That mcther-heart is deep. so deep
That none of us may know how long
Nor yet how surely it will keep
The love it has all sweet and strong;
Each morn and night she breathes his
name
In blessings we may think unheard-
She does not know the ways of shame
Down which he looks with eyes all
blurred.

DaIzeII and Tawney Go Home to
Look After Fences.

Washington, April 13.-The admin.

by political matters fully as much as
by the developments in the supreme
court regarding the antitrust cases.
Attorney General Wickersham had
long conference with President Taft
and, while part of the conversation
may have had to do with judicial mat
tiers and further plans with reference
to corporations, it was admitted that
the political situation, as the head of
the department found it from observa-
ton in Chicago, was discussed.
Regularity is not having all it's trou-
bles in the Middle or Far West. From
that aforetime rock ribbed center of
standpatism, Pennsylvania, has come
hurry call to John Dalzell, for years
one of the house leaders, second on
the ways and means committee and
member of the old rules committee,
to come home and look after his
fences. .s..-..- -.
~ Mr.. Dalzell had scarcely finished
reading Senator Beveridge out of the
party when he received this call to
come and save his own bacon. A man
who is strong with the labor vote and

ened. ri. %.- ~.

great hustling on the part of the "old
guard all along the line, their
anxiety to be returned not being di-
minished by the professed belief that
the next house will be Democratic.
