ROBERTS FOR SENATOR
Excellent Candidate for Repub-
lican Nomination.

C. E. B. Roberts, of Rupert, is the
popular candidate for nomination for
the senate on the republican ticket. He
is representative citizen of the Mini
doka tract, man who has the conf
dence of his neighbors and associates,
and one whose word is always good.
AS an everyday worker whose energies
are devoted to the community welfare,
rather than to a vulgar accumulation
of wealth, he is peculiarly well quail
fled candidate. AS the Minidoka tract
alone should cast almost one-half the
vote of the county, he should be nom
mated by good majority. The Rich
field tract should gvie him its solid vote.
Mr.. Roberts will probably visit Rich
field soon, to tell the people where and
why he stands on the important ques-
tions

which Mrs. Bower was given beauti-
full prize Of set of silver nut picks
and cracker; for having won the most
games. Miss Fitch was given set of
gold-lined, silver, individual salt cups,
compliment to being honor guest.
Dainty refreshments were served
throughout the evening and the ladies
expressed themselves as having had
very delightful evening. Miss Fitch
expects to leave soon for her new
home in Boise.

Assurance that this valley would
have railroad facilities next fall
would mean the doubling or even
trebling of the present crop area, il
would mean an area of development
in Soldier and the towns of Camas
ho. Plans for crops the coming yea
must be laid at this time and for
this reason if possible this vexing
question should be settled at once.
One immediate solution of our
present troubles has been suggested,
and on the occasion of Mr.. Bancroft
laid before him. AS everyone knows
the HALEY branch crosses the OWN
"a cutoff survey at Richfield. The
grade from Richfield to Soldier is
the easiest stretch in the entire 220
miles that the line will traverse
rhis part of the line should be con-
structed at once.
At a very light cost this part of
the line could be built this year, and
by the first of January Camas Prai-
rie could have train service The
trails on the HALEY branch could
divide at Richfield, one going to
HALEY and the other to Soldier.
The n. ieased traffic would return
the outlay in two years time. if the
estin ates of men acquainted with
condit,, ms are correct.
1t is not only a possibility, but a
.rong probability, that this move
can be brought about, and the de-
, sion of the o. S. l.. officials should
le reached in few weeks.

The Richfeld school the coming sea-

the county and the beautiful new
building with all modern improvements
will be as comfortable as any in the
state.
A competent corps of teachers have
been employed and will be here some
time in August. Prof. Lenker of Good

school, Miss Johnson of Minnesota the
and Miss Dew of Iowa,

Build to the Prairie
General Manager Bancroft Expected
to Go Over Line and Do Business
With Immediate Construction

The amas Prairie Courier, pub
lished at Soldier sees the coming OF
the new main line railroad in the
very near future; so near that one
can almost hear the whistle of the
locomotive and the "All Aboard" of
the conductor. They are expecting
visit from General Manager Ban
croft and counting largely on the
benefits to come from this visit ,as
will be seen from the following in
teresting article:
In a very short time Manager
Bancroft. OF the Oregon Short line
system, will visit this part of the
state, and incidentally it is expected
that he will make Camas Prairie
visit at that time. Members of the
Commercial Club have been working
on this for some time, and it is ex-
pected that he will set the date for
his visit here some time next week
committee from the club will meet
him in HALEY and conduct him by
autos to Soldier and thence for
short trip over the valley.
Manager Bancroft has shown
Camas Prairie great deal of atten-
tion the past year, and it is hoped
nat his trip will settle the specu-
lation regarding the plans of the
Oregon Short line as regards Camas
Prairie The fact that the Idaho
Central will build is not a matter
of uncertainty, the plats having been
filed and the surveys being pushed
rapidly to completion, but the great
question is, will work start this
fall?

BIG STEAM OUTFIT.
Thresher and P1ow for Work on
Large Scale.

H. M. Coffman & Co. have ordered a
threshing outfit and will soon be pre-
pared to thresh the large crop of wheat
and oats that was raised on the Rich
field tract this year.
The machine is Nichols & Shepard,
"a inch separator with 36 inch cylinder,
while the engine is 25 horse power.
They also have an attachment for
plowing, which consists of three, three
bottomed gang plows, which viii plow
a strip over ten feet wide at one
swath. And there is to be gang har-
row to follow the plows, leaving the
ing The sage brush is to be broken
by the egine dragging three heavy 32-
foot steel rails over the brush
n complete outfit was ordered by
j. A. Youngkin of this city, and the
price paid was near $5, 900.
Mr. Coffman came here from Spo-
kane few months ago, and bought
and broke several yoke of oxen, but he
says that is too slow for him, thus the
purchase of the new outfit. These
gentlemen have several hundred acres
of land among them and expect to go
into the grain business quite extensive
ly, and besides their own work will do
threshing and breaking for other ranch
ers on the tract.
The outfit is one of the best that
could be bought and was shipped sew
eral days ago, and is expected to ar
rive in Richfeld the first of next week,
and as they aoe now having water
tank made, they expect to begin
threshing as soon as the machine.
By the purchase of this expensive
outfit, Mr.. Coffman and his associates
have shown their faith in the Richfeld
Tract.

The ball team went up to Carey Mon
day and played two games of ball and
got stung both games. Ernest Gwin
pitcqed a good game and with the
right kind of support could have won
both games easily.
There is plenty of material here for
a good ball team, but it is hard mat
ter to pick up nine players without a
practice game together and beat a
bunch that have hap regular practice.
The boys should elect captain that
understands the game and get out and
get some team practice, which would
enable them to bring in a few scalps.

Judge ]. F. Ailshie occupies the
unique position of having refused a
certain election to the U. S. Senate,
last year, and to the governorship of
Idaho, this year. He preferred to hold
to mix the Judiciary with partisan pol
itics. Coming to the supreme bench
with no convention opposition in his
first nomination, and no opposition
either in his own party convention or
at the polls in his second term, he is
most emphatically man of the people
of Idaho. Some day, he can have
whatever he will name as his reward
for good service.

DAWSON IS PLEASED.
Delighted With Progress of Rate
Case.

John Dawson. attorney for the state
railway board, who is conducting the
rate hearing before Commissioner
Prouty at Kansas City on behalf of
the states of Kansas. Oklahoma and
Texas, was at his office today, the hear
ing having adjourned until April IS.
Mr.. Dawson is very much pleased with
the progress made at the hearing last
week. His witnesses were former rail-
road men of prominence and ability
who had been hired by cities of Ok
lahoma and Texas as traffic men to
aid them in getting better freight rates.
These men know their business and
could not be tangled or twisted by rail-
road attorneys. Their services at the
hearing convinced Mr.. Dawson of the
value of a railroad man of standing
if employed as traffic clerk and expert
by the state railroad board
Mr.. Dawson stated that MarceIlus
Murdoch of Wichita, who is interested
in the rate case. had told him that he
had advices from the chambers of COM
merce of New York, Philadelphia and
Baltimore that they, too, would inter-
vene in behalf of the three western
states which were making the fight for
low freight via the Galveston gateway
bv the water and rail route instead of
the present exorbitant all-rail route
from the east.
Mr.. Dawson does not expect an early
decision in this most important case.
He pays a high tribute to the ability
of Judge Prouty who is conducting the
hearing.

TO BUST MEAT TRUST.
Federal District Attorney Files a Bill
in Equity.

Chicago. March 21.-Simultaneous-
ly with the return of indictments to-
day against the National Packing
company and ten of its subsidiary
companies, charged with violating OF
the antitrust law, United States Dis
trict Attorney Sims filed a bill in
equity for the dissolution of the al
legged trust. The bill names not only
the National Packing company, but
the Armour, Swift and Morris COM
panies and the individuals who DOM
mate and control these concerns.
1t is apparent that the government
regards the National Packing com
pany as the instrumentality through
which the packers have been evading
the antitrust law and by means of
which they have been making their
combination effective. 1t is admitted
ly the opinion of the department of
Justice and the grand jury which at
Judge Lands direction has been in
vestigating the meat industry for the
last two months, that If the National
Packing company is broken up, the
alleged evils of this combination will
be remedied.
