LAWS WERE PASSED
BENEFICIAL TO THE STATE
Idaho's Delegation in Congress Worked Harmon
ious1y for Passage Of Measures that will
be of Great Benefit to the State.

steaders on reclamation projects
could assign all or portion of
their homestead after a five year
residence.
Another measure which became
law was that providing for leave
of absence to homesteaders on re-
clamation projects during the
period between fling and the time
water is ready for delivery.
Laws were also enacted provid-
ing for the classification and ap.
pralsement of lands within the
Occur d'Alene Indian Reservation;
for the re-appraisement of un-sold
projects; an appropriation for
public building at Pocatello, TO the
amount of 800, 900; providing for
the purchase of site for public
building at Twin Falls, $40, 900; o
public building at Occur d'Alene,
500, 900; public building at Ida
no Falls. 800, 900 and the estab-
lishment of SUPPORT of entry at
Eastport, Idaho.
In addition to these number of
MINOR bills, all tending to serve the
industrial and material interests of
the state, were introduced and
urged and some of them were en-
acted into law.
The Idaho delegation has demon
strated its deep interest in the well
fare of the state and has to show
for its service the actual enactment
into law that class of measures
which all will concede have for
sole object and purpose the welfare
of those who are engaged in build
ing up great commonwealth.

The session of Congress which
has recently closed has been most
beneficial one to Idaho, as shown
in affirmative legislation, and more
has been accomplished for the
benefit of the State than during
any previous congress. The Idaho
delegation has been vigilant and
active in protecting the interests OF
the state. Complete harmony and
cooperation has prevailed between
and on the part of the delegation,
otherwise such good results could
not have been secured.
One of the most . important
measures enacted was that provid-
ing for an appropriation Of $780,
600, 600 for the completion of re
clamatlon projects IN various states
of which Idaho will secure large
portion, resulting in the completion
and extension of projects now
under way without delay.
The appropriation of 100000
for the survey of public lands in
Idaho will be Of great advantage tc
intending settlers and will hasten
the developing Of the country. Il
will accomplish in one year in thc
way of making surveys as much o.
more than would have been accom-
plished in three or four years with
out this appropriation.
The extension of the dry farm
homestead law to southern Idah'
is another measure of great import
ance and will aid materially il
developing large areas of land II
the arid section of the state.
Another important law enacte'
was that providing that home

SAYS BRADY IS NOT
TRYING To PLAY EVEN

It has been charged that the
action of Pure Food Commissioners
W allis in stopping the sale of near
beer throughout the state was
prompted by Governor Brady IN
the latters desire TO even up scores
with Bob Hayes of Pocatello. In
replying to this charge Mr.. Wallis,
while in St. Anthony a few days
ago gave to the News of that city
the following statement:
"You can give the lie to such
report, which I never heard of
until today. There is no politics
in any of my work. am trying
to give the people square deal in
this work, as in everything else.
When a brewer puts an intoxieat.

false and misleading label reading
"A Temperance Drink" then he Is
going to answer in the courts, for
these near-beers are being sold to
our children IN ice cream parlf re
and from soda water fountains in

having hand in this work, il is al
false. The Governor has never had
anything to do with my work since

squareIy on a temperance platform,
and undoubtly endorses what am
doing, like all good citizens should;
but when he is charged with prompt
ing this work so as to even up ole
scores with former political work

ROBERT HARMAN.
TAKES HIS OWN LIFE

On Thursday afternoon, July 7th
during the temporary absence Of
Abe Hill and family from their
ranch at Pegram, Robert Harman,
father Of Mrs. Hill, committed sui
eide by shooting himself in the
head with revolver and afterwards
jumping into Bear River. When
his absence from the home was dis
covered that evening thorough
search was made about the place,
but no trace of him was found.
Diligent search was continued FRI
day and Saturday but without sue
cess. On Saturday afternoon Mr..
Hill came to Montpelier and tele-
phoned to Salt Lake, thinking
probably Mr.. Harman had taken a
sudden notion on Thursday to re-
turn to the home of son in Salt
Lake. The son replied that his
father had not yet arrived there.
Mr.. Hill returned home Sunday
morning and search for his father
in-law was continued. Fearing that
the old gentleman had taken his own
life by jumping into the river, or
had accidentally fallen into the rWer
while fishing, a close watch was
kept along the stream, and Monday
afternoon their efforts were reward.

HARTMAN LINES
INVOICING STOCK

The Hartman system is taking
an inventory of every line of road,
every piece of property, each car,
each part or piece of each car, not
ing the value of each engine, each
rail, tie, fish plate, each bolt in fish
plates, everything that goes to
make up the Hartman system.
They survey the road bed and the
right of way, notice the condition
of the banks or borrow pits and
the amount of ballasting done on
the road bed, The grade, the condl.
tion of each tressel and culvert, and
have the report show it. Crews
are working all over the country
taking these observations and re-
cording them, and it is expected
that it will take year and half
for these combined forces TO com
plete their work.
Such task was done once before
and the records were in San Fran.
cisco at the time of the quake and
fire, and all were destroyed.
When the Oregon Short Lines
main Offices at Salt Lake City were
destroyed by fire few years ago
all such records and the map of tht
road and the blue prints of tht
towns yards, bridges. and tressell
of the whole system were destroy
ed and they had to send out survey
ors and craftsmen to gather all thil
information and compile the rec
ords anew.
1t may be asked why it is necess-
ary to have all these things ol
paper, why it is necessary to have
blue print of bridge, for instance
the Blackfoot river, in the Sal

II looks now as though the demo-
cratic legislative candidates will be
E. M Pugmire for the senate; Chris
Valentine and Chas. E. Harris for
the lower house.
For auditor and recorder the re-
publicans are still talking of w. r.
Holmes, Jas. Dunford and R. H.
Broomhead, but the Examiner isn't
prepared to state whether either one
of them will eventually shfe his
castor into the ring.
The prospective democratic candi-
dates are waiting to hear from Ed
Rich before they make move. A
letter was recently dispatched to
Ed, who is now on q mission IN
England, asking him to become .
candidate for auditor. If reply is
received from HIM in time and he
gives his consent, no other demo-
cratic candidate will enter the race.
Frank Athay, John Olsen and
Thos. Sparks intend to get their
names in the republican pot for
sheriff and it ls limited that Frank
Wright is seriously figuring on do
ing likewise. Amasa Rich and VIM.
Steddard will probably be the demo-
cratic candidates for that Office.
Aspirants for the Office Of assessor
and collector seem to be scarce.
J. r.. Pugmire, the present treas
urer, is mentioned az a probable
candidate for assessor on the repub-
lican ticket, but we have heard Of
no democratic candidates.
J. Henry Stoker of Paris, will be
candidate for treasurer on the re-
publican ticket, 80 we have been
informed.
The republicans will have fouI
candidates for probate judge, name

located at Paris, intends to get il

candidate.
i 1t is SAID that Alfred Hart 0
Bloomington is thinking of gettinI
into the race for school superinten
dent, and J. III Miles will carry tn
banner for that Office in the demo

The republican candidates fo
commissioners will likely be Edga

CANDIDATES MUST SOON
FILE THEIR PAPERS
Friday, July 29 is the Last Day on which Nom
l nation Papers Can be Filed--0nlY a Few
Candidates In the Field so Far.

Although only two weeks remain
for candidates to file their petitions
or nomination papers with the
county auditor, the number of act
nal candidates for the several Offices
In this county seems to be compara-
lively light. There are quite a
number, however, who have the bee
o buzzing in their bonnets, but have
Tefrained 80 far from coming out
openly and declaring themselves as
candidates. They seem to be wait
ing to see whether or not ''the other
fellow" is going to be a candidate.
The Examiner wishes to remind ali
who have any intention of seeking a
nomination that their petitions or
nomination papers must be filed
with the county auditor before his
office closing hours on the evening
of July 80. If you do not get your
name in the pot by that time, you
will be left out in the cold, as there
is no way by which you can get
your name on the primary ballot
after that date; you must not forget,
either, that within five days after
you file your declaration Of becom-
ing a candidate with the auditor,
there must be filed ''an acceptance
of said nomination, signed by the
candidate, in default Of which tht
name of said person shall not b
placed on the ballot as q candidate
for such office"
Last Monday DeMeade Austil
fled his nomination paper with tn
auditor for the Office of prosecuting
attorney, which gives him the homo
4 Of being the first candidate TO fill
the required paper in this county
SO far there is only one candldat
out with a petition, and that
James Jensen, for the Office 0
county superintendent of schools
All of the other prospective candi
dates with whom we have talked
say that they do not intend bother
ing with petitions, but will pay th
required fee at the time they fl
their nomination papers.
At present there seems to be
dearth of candidates for the leglsls
ture In the republican camp. Fo
senator the names of J. r.. SheE
herd and VIM. L. Rich are bot
mentioned, but neither has openl
declared himself candidate.

Insects and Alfalfa

1t has been discovered that the honey
bee is of even more Importance to the
alfalfa than the alfalfa is to the bee.
The wonderful strength and speed Of
the bees take them long distances for
their food, and they have recourse to a
great variety of plants. But the pecul-
lar construction of the alfalfa blossom
renders it unable to fertilize itself, and
its shape makes cross fertilization very
difficult.
At the Kansas experiment station a
small plot Of vigorous alfalfa was COW
cred just before coming up into bloom
with mosquito netting supported on
sticks. It was therefore known that
no bees or other insects could come
into contact with the blossoms. Later.
a careful examination disclosed that
the pods which had formed were n
tirely without seeds,-Coburn's 'The
Book Of Alfalfa" y

CRAVING Pntatnas-

In Ireland, in the best potato grow
ing localities, a yield of 400 bushels to
the acre is nothing unusual. 1t is OBJ
tanned by the use of about thirty loads
Of barnyard manure to the acre, sup
plemented by 500 pounds of CONNER
cial fertilizers, proportional as follows:
One hundred pounds of muriate Of
potash and 400 pounds of superphos-
plate. In England the best results
are obtained by the use of twenty to
twenty-five loads of barnyard manure
to the acre, supplemented with 100
pounds of sulphate of ammonia, $50
pounds of superphosphate and so
pounds of sulphate of potash. The
popular fertilizer for growing potatoes
in Maine, when planted where a two
year-old crop of clover or grass has
been grown, is made up on the farm
Of 135 pounds of nitrate of soda, 600
pounds of tankage, 200 pounds Of acid
phosphate and 400 pounds of sulphate
Of potash, making in all 1885 pounds.
One-half this mount is used in the
planter OF mixed in the furrow and
the other half at the first narrowing,
when the plants begin to appear.

Zee Notes

One must be deliberate and not per-
spire when living bees. The bees do
not like the smell of excited persons.
Always have an empty box hive
about the apiary properly set OF a
floor board. This will often catch a
swarm that might otherwise be lost.
It is never good business policy to
sell a customer bad honey or honey
with an undesirable flavor. This viii
injure future sales.
1t is well to keep all vegetation
down around the lives, so4hat it win
not interfere with the fight of the
working bees between their hive and
the feeding ground.
The number of colonies which any
locality will support depends on the
fora of the vicinity. There are. but
few places, however, that will not sup
port from ten to twenty-five colonies
to the square mile, and many locali-
ties will support a greater number than
this. Bees fly long distances for for
age, averaging at least two miles.
Smoke is the best agent known
among -beekeepers that can be used
to make bees submit to their wishes.
ALI sorts of material may be burned
in a smoker. such as cotton rags. rot
ten wood, etc. There is a great differ
ence in the disposition of bees, how
ever, some requiring more smoking
than others.-Farm and Ranch.
