THE FIRST IDAHOAN.
Pioneer Made His Settlement at
Franklin, Oneida County.

John HALEY, in charge of the State
Historical Society, says in his recent
history:
The first white settler in this ter
ritory was Nathan Wyth, who built
the old Fort Hall trapping station in
1884; was sold out soon to a British
company and was later abandoned.
A trading station was built in 1885
by British company, but was aban-
doned in 1850 The Rev. Henry II.
Spaulding built the Lapwai station
on the Clear water river, now in
Nez Perce county, Idaho in 1S43
but was forced to abandon it on ac-
count of trouble with the Indians.
William Craig and his wife settled
and made their home in what is now
Nez Perce county in 1S43. They
remained on the place until both
died about 1870. They were the
parents of several children, some OF
whom remain on the old Craig ranch
at this time. The old Catholic
mission building which stands near
Occur d'Alene lake was built by some
priests and Indians in 1S43. | think
it was abandoned at different times
and afterwards reoccupied Some /
people went from Utah to what is
now Lemhi county in Idaho and
made settlement about 1S54-5, but
were forced to leave on account of
trouble with the Indians A settle
ment, which was made by Ameri-
cans in the Orofino mining camps
now in Shoshone county, Idaho, late
IN the summer of 1860. If my in
formation is correct, permanent set
.iement at Franklin, in what is now
oneida county, Idaho, was made in
April 1860. If this is correct.
.hink this settlement is entitled to
he distinction of bing the first per-
nanent settlement in the state, while
Mr. Craig is entitled to the credit
# being the first white permanent
ettler.'

serve the moisture that has been
placed there by irrigation Culti-
yation and irrigation go hand in

Alfalfa.
The irrigation Of land before the
planting of alfalfa is not altogether
necessary, for if the land has been
thoroughly irrigated before the soil
is sufficiently dried out to allow the
team and seeder upon it. it viii be
dried out to a depth Of an inch more
or less, and that is about the right
depth to seed alfalfa 1t is my
belief that if alfalfa is sown and the
water is applied Immediately after
seeding, as good results can be OBJ
tained from irrigating afterwards,
as there could have been by irriga-
ting before. Great care should be
taken in the irrigation of alfalfa;
for instance, if thirty acres is planted
to alfalfa the first two irrigations
should be followed one after the
other, as the first irrigation only
brings the alfalfa dp and it does
not have a sufficient root system
made from the first irrigation to
keep it at a steady growth, and in
most cases a second irrigation should
be applied as soon as possible. The
third should be delayed somewhat as
two irrigations should bring alfalfa
up to a height where it will shade
Lhe ground and to some extent check
The evaporation, and it viii have
formed a large root system
The irrigation Of oats and alfalfa.
OF wheat and alfalfa is one that
should be carefully watched. All
)f the irrigations should be applied
or the benefit of the alfalfa and not
or the wheat or oats, and in great
many cases the farmer looks to the
grain crop as the one to tell whether
he crops are in need of moisture or
lot. This is not always the case.
'he grain crop has q larger root sys-
en- and is planted deeper than the
Italia, while the alfalfa is nearer
he surface and would need more
requent irrigation than does the
gheat or oats.
Always irrigate for the grass crop
nd not for the grain.

Notice to Farmers.

At the last meeting of the Richfield
Farmers Association, that body decid-
ed to go about getting farm seeds for
this coming fall and coming spring. It
will be necessary for those wishing to
cooperate in this matter to notify the
purchasing agent of the association, A.
G. Draper. This notice must be in
writing, stating the kind Of seed want
ed and the amount of each kind wanted
By uniting in procuring our seed we
hope to get the best seed to be had and
to do so in car load lots, thereby get
ting the benefit of the wholesale prices.
Another benefit derived from collective
buying is, that fewer varieties Of each
kind of produce will be grown on the
Richfeld tract and will therefore be
more easily disposed of at the selling
time.
Those wishing to buy seed with us,
who are not members of the association,
should become members at once. All
those owning Carey land'' on the
tract or those who are actually engaged
in farming on or near the tract are
eligible.

Spring Wheat and Oats.
The spring wheat and oats, and all
other grain crops that are up, and
those that are not up, should be ir-
rgated as soon as possible, and par
ticuiarly those fields on which the
crop is only partly up In such
rases these fields should be pushed
along with irrigation as fast as pos
sible so that at harvest time the
grain crops viii all mature at about
the same time and viii save both

iat part OF the fieid be too ripe at the

Boston, Oct. lathe latest alleged
get-rich-quick concern was raided here
when United States marshals took pos
session Of the palatial offices Of the
Redeemabie Investment company.
The head OF the concern is the Rev.
Norman Plass, formerly president Of
Washburn college at Topeka, Kan.
He had the Endorsement of Secretary
of the Interior Richard A. Ballinger.
At the offices the federal authorities
arrested Charles FL. Brooks, the man
ager, and seized the books and papers
Of the company. They also took away
several bags which were said to con-
tain gold coin to the amount Of thou
sands OF dollars. The six employees,
including the girl st~enographer, were
taken as witnesses.
The raid was made under a warrant
charging the company with using the
malls for purposes of fraud.
The Redeemable Investment compa'
ny was organized In Delaware last
year as a holding company with a cap
ital fixed at s10,Ooo,ooo In shares o.

The STING of q Bee.

An eastern fable tells of potentate
who demanded that there should be
brought to him the sings OF a thou.
sand bees killed because one Of their
colony had dared commit lese ana iesty
by singing the hand OF royalty. When
they were brought In q tiny golden
thimbls the king was so amazed 10
find that thousand of the hypoder-
mic points made such a little mass
that he issued manifesto 10 the eff.
feet that thereafter no person within
the bounds OF the kingdom should
complain at the sting of a bee. The
lesson Of the fable is that petty an.
noyances hurt because they are exag.
gerated In the mind; that when they
are seen In their actual proportions
they are so slight as TO merit only
contempt How much comfort would
como to the majority OF persons II
they could but see the tiny size OF the
bee stings that lead them to acts OF
petulance. words OF anger. expressions
of reproach. The bee sting annoy.
ances have caused lifelong breaches of
friendship. They have broken up fam
lilies and caused anger and resentment
to take the place OF love and fealty.-
