south side tract has demonstrated that
the amount of water allowed by the
Carey Act companies in this section is a
great abundance for all purposes and it
is very Likely that good results can be
obtained with half the water allowed
by these companies.
In determining the duty of water"
Mr.. Bark expects to select tracts of Is
acres in size in various parts of the
state growing different kinds of crops.
These Is acre units will be divided into
three parts and the whole unit planted
to the same kind of crop at one time,
When the owner irrigates oDe-third of
the acres, or acres Mr.. Bark or an
assistant will be on hand and measure
the amount of water used, the owner
using the same amount of water that
he is in the habit of using. At the
same time the owner of the land is
irrigating the acres, the engineer will
irrigate the other 10 acres, on half of
it using more water than the owner is
using and on the other half using less.
This will make three 5 acre tracts,
growing the same kind of crop, culti-
waited in the same manner, but being
irrigated with three different quantities
of water. In the fall the crops from
the three tracts will be carefully
weighed and the results noted.
While these experiments will not be
conclusive proof by any means as to the
quantity of water needed for the best
results, they should go long way to-
ward showing the proper irrigation in
amount of water

NEW BRIDGE At BLISS

The settlers on the King Hill segre-
cation, along with many settlers on the
Clover Creek segregation and Bliss
citizens, circulated a petition for a
bridge across the Snake river at Bliss
and the petition was presented to the
board of county commissioners last
Monday by delegation composed of
A. r. Wells, Fred Bliss, C. S. Skillern,
Mrs. Ada Mariner and II. ?. Blodgett.
The county agreed to appropriate $1,000
for the bridge on the condition that

needed for the construction OF the
bridge at this point. Engineer Joe Yer

Congressman Hamer's Lieu Sc
lection Bill is Passed by the
House of Representatives
BILL A BIG CREDIT TO HANER
If the Measure Becomes a Law Idaho
will Gain over SOC, 900 Acres of Val
liable Lands for School Purposes

Washington, D. c., April Boon
gresham Thomas R. Hamer's lieu se-
lection bill was today passed by the
house of representatives. BY its pro-
visions millions of acres Of school lands,
untold in value, will be restored to the
states of the northwest. and over 500, :
COO acres to Idaho. The determined ef-
fort of the member from Idaho to re-
gain those vast areas of wealth, of which
its own and other states have been de-
prived by reason of their summary in
clusion in forest reserves has borne its
first fruit in what is regarded as most
decisive recognition of the justice Of his
vigorous and persistent contention by
the lower branch of congress.
The ultimate passage Of this bill viii
mean more to Idaho and the Northwest
than the success of any other measure
now before the national legislature, al
though it perhaps has not received as
widespread publicity as some which
have been injected into the program of
the present administration. Millions
upon millions of dollars viii accrue to
the states affected. The aggregate
has not been exactly determined,
but it will probably exceed $3.50, O)9, 600.
The Golfers OF the public schools of
Idaho alone viii be swelled by at least
S25, COO, coo, for the right is granted to
designate lands within forest reserves.
and the state viii thereby secure some
of the richest timbered tracts in the
western country, worth in certain in
stances hundreds of dollars per acre.
The enactment of this legislation by
the house is regarded as an unusual
achievement for man who is serving
his first term.
Chapter one of the story o. a long
and strenuous fight by the Idaho repre-
sentative is erded. The initial victory
was won when Hamer secured the prom
ise of Secretary Wilson of the depart
ment of agriculture that he would not
oppose the bill, although he had PIE
viously proven a most potent obstruc-
ton to such legislation With that
formidable barrier removed, he tured
to the committee on public lands to
meet and overcome the threatening op-
position of fellow members of that body
who from precedent and prejudice had
arrayed themselves against this iegis-
lation, and after a series Of the most
sort of sessions, in which he
found himself also beset by untoward
influences emanating from outside of
the committee, he accomplished his sec
ond victory, and the bill was favorably
to the house and placed on the
union calendar.

.ELMORE COUNTY ATTORNEYS
ENDORSE JUDGE WALTERS

The undersigned attorneys at law and
members of the Bar o. Elmore county,
Idaho, do hereby declare that we are
heartily in favor of keeping the Judici-
airy of this District out of politics.
We have now enjoyed more than three
years judicial acquaintance with Hon.
Edward A. Walters, the Judge of this
District, and have found him at all
times:
A gentleman, courteous and agree
able; while at all times dignifed IN his
bearing yet always accessible to the
most humble; thoroughly honest and in
all ways above reproach;he has acquired
a method of dispatching business that
is indeed commendable in a Court; that
he is a worker and is keeping his trial
dockets clean of old cases. a feature
which we as well as all litigants greatly
appreciate; his judgments have been
very generally sustained when appealed.
This is due to his thorough knowledge
of the law and his keen grasp OF the
facts presented: for these and many
other reasons we trust that there Will
be no opposition to his reelection and
that l.e may be the unanimous choice Of
the people at the coming election

sMUDGE POTS SUCCESSFUL

Smudge pots were used quite exten-
sively in the Boise-Payette valley dur
ing the coolest night or two Of last
week to protect orchards from frost
and reports indicate that they were
perfectly successful. They were also
used in different parts of Utah with
success while orchards not smudged
suffered damage. The fruit in this
part of Lincoln county was not far
enough advanced to be much affected
by the cold.

COLONEL LOUIE MADE GOOD

When Col. Louie Zug, as he was
called in his old home in Illinois. UNDER
took t. collect evidence sufficient to
convict the bootleggers of Lincoln
county he staked his future on the re-
suit and won out All over the sur
rounding country he is recognized as
winner in the detective line and the
joke goes all up and down the line from
Pocatello to Boise how the father of
the local option bill was caught in his
own trap and convicted Of violating the
very law he helped to pass as state sen
ator from Lincoln county and was sen
tenced TO pay a big fine and serve a
term in the county Jail Even people
who voted against the local option law
and are friendly to Senator Jordan as
sert that if he wins before the supreme
court he will have to run up against the
same evidence in a new trial that con-
victed him the first time and that
second conviction is certain. The fact
is that the Senator gave away his case
when he acknowledged to Zug before
the McFall hotel just after the prelimi-
dairy trial that he gave the bottle of
to detective Blair and did not
take cent for it. His failure TO under
stand the law governing the case does
not help his case in the least. A gift
Of liquor is as much against the law as
a sale.

POCATELL0 ACADEMY VS..
SHOSRONE HIGH SCHOOL

Play ball, and the way the ShOshone
High school team did last Saturday
afternoon when they crossed bats with
the Pocatello academy team made the
heart of every Shoshone fan beat little
faster and yell little louder. The team
from the reservation had played several
games this season and did not have one
defeat to credit, they having defeated
the Pocatello regular team the Friday
afternoon before in very easy man
ner, in fact it was by a score of 2 to IS,
so they naturally thought the Shoshone
boys would prove easy pickings, but they
soon found out to their sorrow that
they were up against the real thing.
From the first inning to the last the
game belonged to Shoshone, and if the
academy boys had not been luckey
enough to have a Shoshone boy, Ernest
Gwin, who is attending the school, to
put in the box the score book would not
have been large enough to mark the
scores. The visitors were only able to
make three runs off OF Keefer, who
pitched as fine game as has been seen
in Shoshone for many day. and with
splendid support behind him held the
visitors down to blank after the first
two or three innings.
The High school boys made six clean
runs off of the visitors IN the first three
innings. 1t was one of the best games
that has been played here for many a
day and shows very clearly that Sho
shone has one the best teams in south
ern Idaho. A good crowd was present
and rooted for the boys in fine shape,
the High School girls, who
did all they could to help their school
mates win the game.
