hibit to National Irrigation Congress.

I. w. Mcconnell, general manager of
the Idaho Irrigation Company, return

New York. He says that the company
officers and hackers are well satisfied
with the excellence and ultimate great
prosperity of this project, and that
nothing will be left undone that will
make for the general welfare.
The company will send at least one
representative, with a fine agricultural
and horticultural display, to the Nat

Hon. B. F. O'Neil, of Wallace, a
candidate for the republican nom

Richfield some time during the COM

through this part of the state, that

the only way to reach many import

1t is estimated by careful men that
he will ct IS to 80 per cent of the
first choice vote in the north, six Of
the stronest counties in the state.
With such an overwhelmin majority
from his own people the people who
know him best, he may be expected
to impress other people the same

be derived from owning an irrigated
farm, and trying to induce actual
settlers to locate here.
The matter of city improvement was
again brought up, and the improve
ment committee was instructed to go
ahead and improve the city park, as
the Idaho Irrigation Company had
donated $500 for the purpose provided
that the city would donate an equal
amount, either in money or work.
The initiation fee was cut from ten
dollars to five, as great many seemed
to think that the fee too high. Taken

he got more names on his petition
than the entire republican vote of

Mr.. O'Neil is making broad and
stable platform on which to build

believe that he will keep faith---and
that has been b is record all his life,
from the day when he was an orpha

He has made some money honest

can doubt or assail.
Mr.. O'Neil will be glad to meet

BUY COAL NOW
Only Way to Avoid Going Cold
Next Winter

The Recorder isn't in league with the
coal dealers, or miners, or railroads,
but it would suggest that now is good
time to make some good easy money by
buying and storing coal for winter.
The cheap---that is, comparatively
cheap---storage rates for coal will be
called off August Is, when the old reg
ular rates will be re-established. The
saving in cost will be worth while, but
the insuring of winter comfort is worth
much more. Last winter, and for sew
eral winters past, there was coal fam
inc, when even poor coal brought ex-
orbitant prices, and many people went
cold because they could not buy even
high priced coal when it wasn't here.
Those who can buy their coal now,
will save money and insure 'the smile
that won't come off, when the cold
weather comes. A repetition of last
winters suffering would be real pub
lie calamity.

Partition of Poland.

The partition of Poland is generally
understood tc have originated with
Frederick the Great of Prussia. and
be and Catherine of Russia and Maria
Theresa of Austro-Hungary entered
into it. The Poles were so weakened
that they could make no effective re-
sistance, so the royal robbers each
seized certain provinces in 1872. In
1892 another partition was made by
Russia and Prussia only. and in 1895
Poland was destroyed altogether as
an Independent nation, and its re-
naming territory was divided among
t. three neighbors.

A White and Black TIqress.

Gently shot in the Murhi subdivsonal
forest of the Dhenkanal state, IN

white, while the stripes were deep

good condition, so the unusual coloring
was not due to disease.
Abnormally colored tigers are rare.
In 1899 two well-grown white tigers
were shot on the Jaipur tea estate in
the Debroghur district within a shors
time. 1t was reasonably supposed
that they were litter brothers, the

and Messrs. Pearson and Mcpherson
expect that the next cutting will be
one and one-half to two tons, or al
most two and one-half tons for the
year. This from sage brush is one
of the most remarkable records on
any of the irrigation tracts.
That the Richfield tract is one of the
most productive spots in the state of
Idaho, can no longer be denied by the
worst knocker that ever came down
the pike, and all that is necessary to
convince the most skeptical, is for him
to take drive out over the tract and
take look at the many hay and grain
fields.

direction while oat shocks are as thick
as they can stick in many fields and

and an enormous crop of potatoes has
been raised.
Crane Brothers, who live five miles
northwest of town. have forty acres of
wheat that for money getter cannot
be beat. 1t is claimed by some of the
best judges on the tract, that at the
present price of wheat, this years crop
will pay for the threshing and the en-
tire $35. an acre water contract.
If there is another tract on earth
that can beat this record, we do not
know where it is at.

Farm Superintendent Pearson out
on the company demonstration farm,
has about as fine a garden as one
could find, even among the market
gardens of the cities. For the past
two weeks they have been having
green cucumbers---big, crisp fellows
that wake one up in the middle of
the night and holler for more; rad
ishes that are so crisp that they pop
open of themselves; sweet corn, let
tuce, and almost every known var
iety of vegetable Cantaloupes are
almost ripe and they are fine ones,
too; and there are water melons
good foot long, ripening as readily
here as they would in Florida or any

Pearson is an exceptionally capable
farmer ,one of the best men that
the company could get to look af-
ter the important work of showing
the new farmers the detail work of
irrigating with profit.
One crop that is the particular
pride of the farm, is the alfalfa, the
first cutting of which was this week
put into the stack. The first stroke
of work was done on the farm the
'27th of March, this year, so all the
development is brand new. The al

made this office a pleasant call. He
wishes the Recorder to notify all
those contemplating setting out or
chards, to be very careful in select
ing their nursery stock, as there
are so many tree diseases that may
be started with the young trees, and
ruin the fruit prospect even before
the trees ever come to the bearing
stage. He called especial attention
to a knotty disease of the roots,
which will kill the trees within a
very few years, before they can come
into bearing.
