LINCOLN DISPLAY
WILL 60 EAST
Eas,crners VIII Get "A Glimpse OF
What We Can Raise With the
Aid OF Irrigation.

The first travelling display Of
grain in sheaf, shelled grain, veg
etables and fruits ever sent out of
the northern part of Lincoln
county, has been arranged for by
the Idaho Irrigation company, and
the same viii be in charge of John
L. Mcpherson, superintendent Of
Agriculture, and R. H. Kipp, Man
ager LandSales Department for the
company
This display has already been Sc
cured, and Messrs. Mcpherson and
Kipp will leave Shoshone about the
18th of September with The speci-
mems and go direct to Seattle.
They will visit fairs, displays, con-
vcnlions and other gatherings in the
large cities where these samples
of various productions of this por-
Ition of Irrigated Idaho will be dis
played in competition with those
from other states, and these gentle
men will spare no pains to tell of
the opportunities awaiting the home
seeker and investor in the ccoun-
try where such crops are raised.
The following itinerary has been
mapped out.
Seattle. Sept. 1925: Spokane. Oct.
80: Boise, Oct 1O-l5; Spokane ap-
pie show in November. During
November the display viii 90 into
Dakota. Kansas, and Illinois, ending
up at Council Bluffs at National
Seed show
Messrs. Mcpherson and Kip de-
clare that they have one of the fin
est displays that can be produced
anywhere, and those who have
seen the maghificient specimens
that they have gathered for the eX-
hibitions can testify to the same
aing.
other sections of Irrigated Idaho
have been exploited in this manner
and have received great benefit
from it.. The Wood River country
is now to have her turn and tie
results Will show in bringing here
new settlers and investors who will
assist in developing the latent re-
sources of the country and help
turn the sage brush wastes into
highly productive farms and fruit
ranches. AS a matter of course
the towns will receive their share
of the new prosperity and country
and towns together Will develop in
harmony.
With the new tide of immigra-
tion will come rising values for all
forms of real estate and the man
or woman who holds title f.
irrigated dirt will reap rich har-
vest.

municabe, particularly among the
children of tender years. AT least
certain cases seem to be especially
infectiVe, without a doubt, al
though II appears that The degree
of virulence has little or nothing to
DO with its infecliyity 1t is well
known that the disease at times at
tacks the adult population, and
when those Of mature age are af-
flicted it generally indicates that
the type is particularly virulent.
1T is said that in one epidemic
in Vermont the average age was )
years. In New York in one family
one child was taken sick on the 23t
day of the month. the second on
the 29th and the third on the 30th.
This would clearly indicate an IN
hation period of four or five days
And again in another family the in
cubatiOn period appeared to be less
or about three days. The commit
tee reported that the presence or
nsence of domestic animals SEEM
ed to have had no influence on the
spread of the disease, nOtwithstand
ing the fact that a number of med
zeal men have reported the occur
renee of this disease among horses.
The prevailing opinion seems to be
that the probable incubation period
is less than 10 days. One authority
says that the upper respiratory
tract is undoubtedly the portal. Ac-
cording to report from New York
the largest number of cases of this
often fatal disease occurred in the
month of September. next in Au-
gust and the smallest number in
July.

YOUNG WOMAN DIES OF BURNS
Clothing in Flames. Woman Runs
Nearly Mile for Aid.

A very sad and fatal accident hap
pened on the ranch Of Mr.. Queen
who lives between this place and
Shoshone, last Thursday evening.
II seems that Ills married daughter,
who resides on the farm with her
parents. went out in the field about
six o'clock to burn some sage brush
and in some manner her clothing
caught fire. Being all alone she
found it impossible TO eXtinguish
the flames and so started to the
house, a distance Of about oue-half
mile. She managed to arrive home
where everything possible was done
for her. but OF no avail. She lin
gered for about eight hours when
she passed away. The parents of
the unfortunate young lady have
the heartfelt sympathy of the en-
tire community in this their hour
of trouble and sorrow. The funer-
al services were held on Saturday
morning with interment in the Sho
Shone cemetery.

They helped themselves TO four

attorneys. johnson & Haddock. Mr..
Paul :. Haddock needs no introdGc-
tion to The people Of Lincoln ana
surrounding counties. His work at
the bar during his four years resi-
dence in our midst has established
him in the esteem and confidence
Of the public.
Mr.. Victor O. Johnson has recent
lv come to ShoshOne He is in the
prime Of life and is lawyer of
large and successful experience. AZ
ter thorough preparation at the
University of Chicago and the law
school of the University of Nebras-
ka. he was admitted to practice be-
fore the supreme court OF that
state in 1898. Since that time Mr..
johnson has devoted himself eXciu-
siyely and industriously to the prac-
tice of his chosen profession at ore
Nebraska, and later at Pawnee ana
Tulsa, Oklahoma. Mrs. Johnson ;
health made it necessary for him to
seek location in higher altl-
tuGe and a dryer climate. In his
search for a new and permanent
home ne visited many points in
GoloraCo, Nevada, California, Ore
gon and Idaho, and made a careful
and painstaking comparison of theiI
several advantages. He assures the
editor that he found no place where
climatic conditions and agreeable
surroundings are so happily COM
bined with large prospect for The
future as in our community.
At the same time MIR. Haddock
was looking for a partner in the
practice of law. He found that the
demands made upon his time by tn
several large projects he had I'M
dertaken, made il difficult for him
to give to his clientage that alien
tion which their interests demand
ed Mr.. Haddock and MIR Johnson
met early last July. Before MAX
ing amy definite arrangements, Mr.
Haddock made inquiries from vari-
Gus sources as to Mr.. Johnson :
skill and ability. Judges, attorneys
and business men united in recon-
mending Mr.. Johnson both as an
able and conscientious lawyer and
as an upright citizen. The clerk of
the supreme court Of Oklahoma
wrote as follows:
The firm of which Mr.. Johnson
is a member has large number of
eases pending in this court, equal
to if not greater than any other
firm in the state outside Of the cap
ital: and in this court this litiga-
tiOn has been uniformly handled by
Mr.. Johnson.
Il feel safe in saying that there
are indeed few attorneys in the
state more favOrably or better
known at the bar of this court than
Mr.. Johnson. We regret that the
health Of his family necessitates his
from the state, and ] tax
pleasure in commenting him to the
bench and bar of any state where
he may make his future home.
Very sincerely,
w. H. l.. Campbell
Clerk of the Supreme Court.
Mr.. Johnson will devote his eXclu-
sive attention to the practice of law
and Mr.. Haddock will divide his ef-
forts between the practice of law
and the prosecution of other bust
ness enterprises with which he is
connected.
We wish the new firm success.

Idaho is sufficient TO make dry
farming safe with cropping the en-
tire farm each season, then ii Is
time the lands i'll Lincoln county

be opened to dry Farm entry. The
climatic and soil conditions here

in Americans Falls and a dry farm

the occurrence of pain in the Nlcln-

the names of either the girls family or
his own.

Betta53ladu Relations for
United States and Canada.

Boston, Jan. 21.-The necessity and
advantage of better trade relations be-
tween the United States and Canada
were strongly advocated by two PROM
inont men of the Dominion at q ban
auet of the Canadian Club of Boston
tonight. The two principal speakers,
Hon. Robert L. Finn, LII. B., NJ P. p,
of Nova Scotia, and Lieut.. Col f. w.
Hibbard, *. c., of Montreal, directed
most of their addresses to the relations
of the Dominion of Canada with this
country and both concurred in the be-
lief that any further overtures to this
end must be made by the United
States. Canada has gone for the last
time to Washington to ask for better
trade relations" declared Mr.. Finn,
while Lieut.. Col. Hubbard in his speech
stated that any Canadian statesman
who went to the American capital for
this purpose might as well stay there.
Mr.. Finn, in the course of his speech
took emphatic exception to the state
ment of a previous speaker, who fore
casted the uniting of Canada and
America. Mr.. Finn said that instead OF
being weaned from the British empire
the Canadian colony was being more
and more attached to it.
