Rockland to Celebrate.

The Fourth of July comes on Monday
this year and the people of Rockland
are preparing to have two days eel
ebration which they expect will outdo
any previous time yet had at that
place. 1t has been customary to eel
ebrate this day at Rockland and now
with many more people there and the
better facilities for giving big time,
there is every reason to expect that this
year will be big one in the valley.
Committees have been appointed and
are busy in many ways preparing
amusements of all kinds as well as the
usual morning program consisting of
speaking, music, etc.

WILL LAUNCH BIG
BOAT SATURDAY
Trial Trip Will Be Made One
Week Later.
Captain Young Well Pleased With the
Prospects Along the River
For Business For Big
River Boat.

A majority OF the residents of
American Falls and vicinity will
have an opportunity of witnessing
an amusing spectacle Saturday after
noon, June 11,when the Power City
the boat being built to ply between
American Falls and Blackfoot, will
be launched. The ceremony is to
to take place at four O'Clock that
day and Captain Young extends a
cordial invitation TO all to be pres
ent and witness it. Boats have
been launched here before. and the
scene will not be a novel one to
some of the older residents, but no
boat so large as the Power City,
has been floated upon Snake river
at this point To a large majority
of the residents of American Falls
and vicinity the event will be one of
real interest.
The engines were shipped from
New Jersey the first of the week
and it is believed they will arrive
by the 18th. If they do the trial
trip will take place two weeks from
1 today, June IS, as everything will
be in readiness awaiting the arrival
of the engines. Captain Young has
ordered the construction of a large
flat boat and expects to build anoth-
er one in the near future. These
will be fitted with small rails to aid
in stemming the current when the
wind is favorable, as in floating
with the current When a good wind
/ is blowing down stream little, if
any power will be required for the
boat. IL
Captain Young says a feature of
the service he will inaugurate will
be the purchase and delivery of sup
plies to people living near enough
the river to avail themselves of his
service, whether the article be ex-
pensive or not in cost He will buy
and deliver a spool of thread or
yard of calico as readily and with
the same fidelity and attention that
he would give to more expensive
articles. On the other hand the mar
keting OF a few dozen eggs or a few
pounds OF butter will receive the
same degree Of care as would be
OF a cargo Of grain'I realize that
a business for the boat must be
built up" he said to the Press,
and do not expect to do this all at
once. When farmers learn, how
ever, that l will stop whenever
a white flag is raised and supply
their small wants as we'll as their
large ones, with a great saving of ex
pense and time to them, it will not
be long before l will have all the
business can attend to, and l be-
lieye another boat will be required
within a year or two with a trip
each way every day. l have come to
American Falls TO stay he said,
"and expect to have my wife and
son here within two weeks
Mr.. Young impresses us
as being a thorough business man,
and has not the least doubt that
/. his boat service will be so success
full as to surprise everyone.

pillow, open your rows good and deep; then
let the rows stand open and catch all the rain

to put your guano in the ground run fresh
ary Put in per acre $50 pounds Of guano and
bed on it, and when the ground gets warm the
latter part OF April the first of May, you
are ready to plant cotton seed. Open your
burrows for cotton seed and put $50 pounds more
Of guano. making 800 pounds OF guano per
acre. When the cotton comes up and gets
strong enough to pillow, run around 1t with
scooter and scrape. Let II stand three or four
days then chop 1t out TO one stalk. Then put
the dirt back to the cotton at once with
scooter and scrape. Pillow your cotton four
times If possible then leave ii off and wait on
our Heavenly Master for the balance.
Likewise for corn, lay your rows off five feet
apart Break the middles out with a boy
Dixie pillow and plant your corn in the water
furrow about the goth of March. Manure your
corn with cotton seed mixed with stable man
he mixed 60 days before time to plant your
corn and when time to plant arrives open the
water furrow. Drop two feet apart in the
rows: scatter the manure along the rows "
hands Cover your corn with a two-foot pillow
and when your corn comes up and gets largo
enough to plow run around II with scooter
and fender as deep as possible. Then pillow
out the middles deep the first time; the second
and third times pillow shallow. Just cultivate

so as not to break the corn roots that keeps
the corn growing Then wait for harvest time

WAR AGAINST TRUST
VIOLATION OF SHERMAN LAW
THE CHARGE MADE AGAINST
THIRTY COMPANIES.
So-calIed Sugar Trust, Which, It 10
Charged, is Able to Fix Prices Ar
bitrarily, Should be Dissolved,
Says District Attorney.

New York-The federal government
on Monday began one of it's most I'M
portant actions against the great cor
porations which are said to have vic.
lated the Sherman antitrust law
Henry Wise, United States district at
torney, filed in the United States dis
trict court for the southern district OF
New York, a petition asking for the
dissolution of the American Sugar Re
fning company and twenty-nine other
corporations which compose the So
called sugar trust. The petition
charges an illegal combination in re-
straint of trade and asks for court re-
lief in whatever form may be neces
sary, including a receivership, If deem
ed advisable.
The thirty companies composing the
sugar combine have an aggregate cap
italization of $230,000,000 and control
a large percentage of the output OF
sugar in this country. This combine is
also, the government alleges, able to
fix prices arbitrarily. The petition
charges that for years the companies
have violated the law and have sup
pressed competition and ground com
petitors out of existence. Railroad re
bates and customs frauds are men
toned as devices which were employ
ed to raise the combine to the com
handing position which it occupies
today,
