Lights For RRichfeld
Franchise Granted ]. A. Green for an
Electric Light and Power System.

At meeting of the village board
last week a franchise was granted
to James A. Green to use the streets
and alleys of the village as needed
for the construction of pole line
to carry wires for such o system.
Mr.. Green plans to utilize the falls
in the Littye Wood river, near town,
for generating the power and
transmit it to and thro lgh the town
by cable.
A fall of close to SO f.'es :an te
secured in the river by II good dam
in the stream to raise the wat.I
few feet and then pila lille to
carry the water to the site of the
power house, possibly quarter of
mile further down the stream.
There is fine volume of water in
the stream, enough to develop not
less than 45O horse power at the
lowest stage of water. This flow
will be augmented by the water
turned into the Little Wood by
the Idaho Irrigation company,
through the coulee just above town,
for watering the 10000 acres of
land under the South Gooding seq
regation. This water will be added
to the present flow of the stream, all
through the irrigation season, from
April till October, making far bet-
ter power possibility than exists be-
fore the company planned to send
the South Gooding waters this way.
A shortage of water under the ex-
isting conditions is not to be con-
sidered.
1t will be the plan of the light and
jower company to put in strictly
modern system, one that will stand
the rigors of heat and cold and
every kind of weather condition. 1t
will not be necessary to install gen.
esators for nearly all the power
possibilities, at the first, as there is

The time has arrived.
Some of the settlers are here and
others are coming in on every train.
Car load after car load of household
goods, farm implements and stock are
arriving.
This week witnessed the beginning of
the great rush of settlers to the fertile
Richfeld tract and the way they are
coming makes even the most sangulne
sit up and take notice and it is predict
ed that before fall there will not be an
unsold piece of land on the Richfild
tract or quarter section of land without
a comfortable home on it.
New houses are being built in every
direction and each time one is amind to
look out over the broad expanse of
level land it seems as though two or
three houses have sprung up as if by
magic.
H. M Coffman, of Spokane, arrived
Wednesday with car load of imple-
ments, stock and household goods and
will begin at once to improve 866 acres
cf land which he has purchased north
of town. Mr.. Coffman will buy oxen
and break his land in the good old way
His family will join him in flew days
and as he visited this section last fall
and know exactly the conditions of the
country and has been on the frontier
for several years, there is no doubt but
he will succeed and he expects to begin
breaking ground at once and will SOW
400 acres of spring wheat.
Stanton Ross of Oregon, arrived this
week and brought with him car load
of household goods, implements and
stock. He has twelve high bred mares
fine jack and Jersey cows. He mas a
good farm north of town and has come
to stay. He is an old friend of John
Fowler.
F. w. and C. B. Crane of Spokane,
who were here last year and proved up
on their places near this city, arrived
Wednesday and will commence getting
their ground in shape and will each put
in large crop.
Waite Louderback Of Spokane, who
has 100 acres north of town arrived
Wednesday and has come to stay He
will put in crop and prove up on his
place this spring.

IDAHO WHEAT LEADS.

1t viii come as surprise TO same
and as sail-flattener to others, to
know that an unmentional study of
Government figures shows that the
average grain yield of the Northwest
is greater than that of Canada. And
the average grain yields in what is
commonly called the Inland Empire
of the Northwest is considerably
higher than that of the Northwest
A few official figures will be inter
esting at this point. For the five
year period, 1904-190S, the official
average wheat yield per acre for
Oregon was 202 bushels; Washing
ton, 23.9 bushels; Idaho, 25.9 bush
els; Montana, q bushels; the entire
Canadian statistics show that for the
Northwest, 22.4 bushels Official
wheat yield per acre of Saskatche-
wan was 1913 bushels; Alberta 21.4
bushels; both provinces, 16.9 bush
els. During the same period the
entire Northwest produced an aver
age of 1876 bushels of oats per acre;
31.3 bushels; and AL
berta, 35.7 bushels. Also the North
west yielded an average of S6.4
bushels of barley per acre; Saskatch-
evan, 1913 bushels and Alberta,
25.S bushels.=RR. Howard in the

C. A. Walker, of Salt Lake, and A.
w. Lake, of Boise, freight agents
for the Northwestern road, were In
Richfield, Monday, looking after
business. Mr.. Walker, who has in
charge the interests of his road for
this part of the West. was not in
ciined to talk much about their
building prospects for Idaho--indeed
it is rare that any railroad official
will talk for publication-but he
has invested quite largely in land
under the Idaho Irrigation company
system, and he believes that no sec
tion of the West has better business
prospects than Lincoln county.
A glance at the register Of the
Richfield hotel will show that the
travel into Richfield is increasing at
wonderful rate. Some days there
are as many as thirty names on tn ;

change of gifts which come to be
customary at this time in families
and between friends, where such in
terchange is prompted by the heart.
In spite of the sham and the hypo-
crisy which have come to overlay
much of such giving, the custom
tends to the development of the
higher qualities. But this is re-
minder that the pleasure of the get
ting ready for Christmas always
great where sincere impulse is made
the guide among the shops, can be
immensely heightened by a getting
ready to make happy some depend
ent soul which now looks forward
to no brightness in the day.-Se-
