THEIR SWAN SONG

The present short session of Con
gress will mark the retirement to pri-
vate life of many men who have
doomed up large on the national hor-
lion during the years that the ma
ton has made it's greatest construc-
tive progress.
Aldrich. Hale, Beverage, Depew
and other senators whose names have
become household words will step
out of the senate, while the devasta-
ton in the lower house will be almost
as great.
The elimination of these men from
public life means a departure from
conditions which up to two years
ago seemed t. be a necessary ad-
junct to the scheme of government.
They were at the helm through good
times and bad, and it remains to be
seen il those who are to succeed
them will prove to be as efficient
navigators on the stormy seas Of leg
islatiOn.
There can be no such thing as look
ing backward This is an optimistic
nation, and its people are looking to
the future. The spirit which has
made for progress in the past will
not be lacking, and the ability of the
average American citizen to rise to
any occasion and to meet any emer-
gency' gives ample ground for con-
hdence in those men who are to re-
place in congress the men. tried and
true. who are about to retire
So to the old warriors and the
old conditions we say vale and fare
well and turn hopefully to the new
with unbounded faith and with ev-
evy inclination towards encourage
ment ana support

At meeting of the Eastern Idaho
Press club recently held at American
Falls the organization passed the fol-
lowing resolutions. one of which in
particular. brands the public and ov-
er-anxious near-democratic papers as
being polite liars. Perhaps the press
of Idaho, in general, wears no "muz-
zle" of any subsidized make, and the
editors stand as freely free as upon
good sized banana peel:
Resolved, That the results of the
direct primary law put into operation
since our last meeting show that
whatever good 1t may be in principle.
it is defective in practice; in its Iimi-
tation of expenses of candidates. in
its cumbersome, expensive determin-
ing of the second choice feature. and
we recommend to the forthcoming
legislature such revision and amend
ments of the law as will make it bet
ter suited to the needs Of the state.
Resolved. That the charges of
wholesale purchase of the editorial
service and support of the Idaho press
in the recent political campaign are
either ignorant or malicious. and cal
culated to degrade the dignity of an
honorable profession, as well as of
those who make such charge The
press of Idaho is perhaps partisan.
choosing here and there among all
the political parties. as individual
fancy may dictate. but we assert that
the charge of individual or wholesale
corruption is without warrant and
made only in the heat of an exciting
campaign"

evidence presented to the committee
warranted. but they have not lost
confidence in his integrity and pur-
pose to administer the duties Of his
Office according to the law and the
constitution instead of conforming
to the ideas of a few faddists who
are willing to stretch the constitu-
ton to cover what they conceive to
be the proper course to pursue.
Secretary Ballinger will unques-
tionably continue on in the even
tenor of his way. and will be a big
man in the minds of the people long
after his detractors shall have been
retired to complete oblivion.

full of attractive advertisements urg-
ing people to buy a town lot, share
of stock, an edition de luxe, a dia-
mond. a dress suit. and everything
along the line that appeals to our
inherent love of luxury and desire
to get on in the world-at a dollar
down and a dollar a week
Is It any wonder that many of US
cannot resist such allurement to
plunge into debt? Doesn't it seem rea-
sonable to suppose that this very
thing contributes more than any
thing else TO the problem of making
a dollar go as far as it did ten or
twenty years ago?

TIME FOR ACTION

Everyone is familiar with the late
Senator ingalls, famous poem on
Opportunity. While it is not nes-
essary to subscribe to his pessimis-
tic view that: 81 answer not, and
return no more" the fact remains
that an opportunity is now present.
cd to the people of Mountain Home
for the irrigation of lands tributary
to the town, which, if unheeded, will
plunge the town so far down into
the depths that there will be no re-
covery.
There is within the grasp of the
people now an opportunity for de-
livering themselves from the shack
es which have retarded growth and
expansion; but advantage must be
taken of that opportunity The Ell
more Irrigation Company is proceed
ing bravely with the task of lining
up the various interests, and has kept
a force of surveyors in the field, de-
spite heavy storms, so that engineer
ing data will be fully compiled by
the time that formal endorsement of
the plan by all water right holders
and creditors of the Great Western
Beet Sugar Company is required. The
people must perform their share of
the work.
1t may not be amiss to reiterate
here the well known fact that water
is the real basis of value to the lands
of southern Idaho. The Mountain
Home tract comprises the cream of
Idaho lands, and nature has provid-
ed the water necessary to irrigate
these lands. It remains for man to
combine the elements which nature
has placed in his hands.
The great value Of water is. how
ever attracting more attention
than ever and every drop that can
be used for irrigation is rapidly be-
ing filed upon for various projects.
Unless the Mountain Home project
is definitely provided for in the very
near future, the entire flow of the
Boise river watershed will have been
appropriated, and this valley will
have to depend solely upon the
meagre watershed of the foot hills.
in which event the country would
remain practically arid for all time
The activity of the United States
Reclamation Service. and the fact
that a great share of the 500, 900, 600
appropriated will be expended in
southern Idaho, emphasizes the ur-
gency of providing water for the
Mountain Home lands before all the
water available for the purpose shall
have been appropriated by the Rec
lamation Service for other districts.
This is the physiological moment
the time for definite and concerted
action. To overlook the opportunity
would be a grievous mistake-one
which would bear fruits Of inaction.
of discomfort and Of misery for all
time to come.

large Upon Production

The New York Coalinga well No 4
is now flowing in excess of 200 barrels
day. The well is gradually working
the sand out of it and getting ready,
the management believes, for a splen-
did production. Well No. of this
company is reported to be producing
steadily and well No. is being bailed
out.
Work has been completed on the
dam for the big storage sump of the
New York Coalinga. This measures
at least forty feet across the bottom
and about six feet across the top. 1t
is at least twenty feet deep and Will
have an estimated capacity of $4,000
barrels. The sump places the New
York COalinga above the worry level
as it will take care of the production
at any time there is a break in the
pipe line or delay in transporting oil.
The Caledonian well is now doing at
least 45O barrels a day. both pumping
and flowing, and the Homestake No.
1 is pumping and flowing at the rate
of 800 barrels a day. The Homestake
wells Nos. 2, and are producing
from 100 to 200 barrels a day. The
Netherlands two wells are each pro-
during 125 barrels a day and the Circle
is doing equally we'll, according to
latest Coalinga reports. The wells are
in the vicinity of the Coalinga crude
oil property, a new proposition which
is said to be growing in value on ac-
count of the remarkable production
record of the adjoining properties. AT
one time it was estimated these wells
would do about fifty barrels a day
Results therefore have eclipsed all pre-
ViouS calculations.

STANDARD PROSPECTS
SANTA CLARA VALLEY

SAN JOSE, Jan. 19.-Apropos of the
recent advent of capital into Santa
Clara valley for the development of
oil lands the latest and largest move
is that of the Standard Oil company,
Experts are arriving here from the
several sections of the coast. Their
business is to make the final report
upon the lands, which are believed
to be oil producing, before the terms
of the twenty-year leases which the
various companies are signing are
made binding.
Several other concerns are interested.
They are the T. A. Piper company,
Union Oil company, the Heeseman
company of Oakland and the Diamond
drill corps of New York. Affiliated
with the r. A. Piper company are
several prominent San Francisco cap
italists, and heading them in their
oil ventures is John d. Spreckels, Jr.
Work on the oil fields west of San
Jose has already begun and material
Is now on the ground for the erection
of large derricks. The requirements
of the leases state that four wells
must be begun by the first of Feb
ruary. The companies each expect
to go to a depth of 1000 feet before
reaching oil, but at that depth be-
lieve that the main flow will be
reached and give flow of 200 or 300
barrels a day.

ASSOCIATED MEETING
TO TERMINATE POOL
LACKS FULL QUORUM

The stockholders meeting of the As
sociated Oil company called for yester-
day at San Francisco, for the purpose
of officially terminating the stock pool,
was postponed on account of inability
to get a quorum
The pool has been in effect two years,
and the time for dissOiving it has ex-
pired. The pool has been, brokers say.
a thorn in the flesh of the investing
public, and its termination is welcome.
Tho stock of the Associated Oil was.
during the life of the pool, traded in
through trust stock certificates. the
stockholders having pooled their inter
ests and elected a governing board to
issue certificates on the stock pooled.
The company was run at the dlctatiOn
of the pool, and holders of the trust
stock certificates never shared in divi-
dends of the company.
The meeting which was to be held
yesterday has gone over indefinitely.
but Los Angeles brokers say il will be
held, nevertheless. before the time of
the regular annual meeting of the As
sOciated Oil company in February.

BOUSE RAILROAD

TRACK LAYING ADVANCES To-
WARD SWANSEA
Company Orders Additional Motive
Power and Rolling Stock-one
Thousand Men Will Soon
Be on Pay Roll

PRESCOTT, Jan. 19.-That Bouse and
Swansea will be linked with rail COM
muncation inside of on month is the
statement made by H. L. Fishel. chief
engineer of that road, who is in the
city.
The grade is practically completed
and when he left the terminus was
over eight miles out from Bouse. The
track laying force has been increased
to 100 men, and with two locomotives
and all ties and rails O. the ground,
nothing would interfere in carrying
out the plans to have the road open
for business by that time at the
fartheSt.
The company has also given an
order for another locomotive of eighty
tons of the Baldwin works. and in ad-
dition to that power big shipment
of rolling stock is in transit. For
many months delay has attended the
laving of the track, owing to the ir-
regularity of the receipt of rails and
ties. but with this adjusted the aim
is TO close the ~an as rapidly as pos
sible.
At Swansea it is said the mine
work and smelter additions are pro-
ceeding satisfactorily and the place
is assuming one of the most active
centers in western Arizona. With the
completion of the railroad it is semi
officially given out that force of at
least 1000 men will be on the pay roll,
the intention being to start one or
the most extensive development prop
ositions that has ever taken place in
that field and in which the product
will be handled by the new smelter
that is being erected in conjunction
with the original plant.
In anticipation of the early arrival
of the railroad, all residents of Swan
sea and at the mines adjacent, very
much interest is manifested and there
is no doubt but that the coming Of
the iron horse will be made gay
event. Many new claims are being
discovered close to Swansea.
