SCHOOL HOUSE ACCEPTED.
Finest School Building In This
Part of Idaho.

Richfeld now has the finest school
house of anywhere near its size, any
where in the West.
On Saturday the school board accept
ed as finished the building contracted
for with J. H. Murfitt, and it is now
the property of the school district.
The building is of black lava, hit-and-
miss. pointed with white mortar, and
trimmed with white brick Ithas a 10
foot basement under the entire build
ing, which is 55x75 feet in size.
There are four rooms. with 12-foot
hall through the center of the building.
The walls are tinted with KEYSTONE,
high grade, waterproof wall finish The
woodwork is of the best; the contractor
has excelled himself in finishing up the
building attractively.
No provision has as yet been made
for heating, but aheating plant of some
kind will be installed before next win
ter. The basement is amply large for
the heating plant, coal storage, and if
necessary large class room or gym
nasium.
AS it is but three weeks until the
close of this years school, the new
building will not be occupied until fall.
But at that time, Richfeld will have
one of the best schools anywhere in
this part of the state. At least three
will be needed, and perhaps
four, to care for the many children that
will be here for school privileges.
The school board, as well as the citi-
zens, unite in complimenting Contractor
Murfitt on the excellent work he has done
for the district. There isn't a more
carefully built structure, anywhere; and
it is a matter for pardonable local pride,
that Richfeld has so good temple of
learning

One of the most expert strawberry
pickers in this country is a blind man.
Robert jolly of Orcas. Wash, Tor
years has made his annual expenses
picking strawberries and other fruit
for his neighbors, and so skilled is
he, and so rapid. that he earns as
much on the commission plan as a
man with good eyes. jolly finds his
way along the rows of vines with his
stick, and carries a dozen crates with
him. His nimble fingers find the
fruit, and while one hand is plucking
the berry the other is searching for
more. Picking cherries or apples ard
climbing around on a ladder is as
easy for him as for schoolboy.

WATER AND PROSPERITY
Good Development All Over the
RichfieId Tract.

RichfieId Tract.
If there is any man on the Richfeld
tract who has not water to his land, he
needn't charge it up to the company for
very long. Water is now being distri-
buted through all the coulees of the en-
tire tract, and through the canals and
laterals, so that it can be had by any
settler wherever lie may be located. Mr..
Barnes, the trouble man" in charge
of the field work on this tract. is inde-
fatiguable in seeing that all the settlers
get their surveys laid out, ready for
their own farm bitches; and a personal
call, or a letter addressed to him at
Richfeld will bring him on the shortest
possible notice. The field surveying
crew under him will lay out your ditch
es, free of charge, and assist in every
way to get the land ready for crop
bearing.
Some extensive grading is being done
on the tract, to enlarge and complete the
system as it would have been done last
fall had the weather not shut in and
stopped work The main canal has been
considerably enlarged the contractors
having furnished that work this week.
The Crane company is now working on
the big ditch six miles north of town,
enlarging and Strengthening it so as to
carry the flood of water with less waste
or obstruction. The Dietrich coulee is
to be Strengthened and the rock taken
out, though it can be used this year
very successfully as is is.
John Mcpherson, agricultural super
intendent in charge of the farm work
and the development of the demonstr-
ton farms at Richfeld and Dietrich,
has recently ridden out over the entire
Richfeld tract He says that wherever
crops have been put out, they are look
ing finely. Some alfalfa on the w. j.
Taper farm, six miles north of town,
he says could not be beaten in the en-
tire West. A field of fall wheat on the
K. G. Phelps farm two miles northeast
Of town, is one of the finest things of
the kind in Southern Idaho All over
the tract, large fields are being cleared
and cultivated, with the finest promise
Of profitable crop. There is no bet
ter soil anywhere, says Mr.. Mcpherson,
and the perfect drainage and water sup
ply system will insure getting and keep
ng the soil in the best of conditions.
Mr.. Mcpherson says that some excel
ent orchards are being put out, which
promise well. AS to the selection of
he has had little to say;
hough he would probably restrict some
# the orchard lists to fewer varieties.
Mr.. Mcpherson commends in the
highest terms, the proposition of the
Farmers Association to buy their farm
eeds in quantities, sending a compet-
mt man to the seed markets to buy on
y the best selected seed that can be
ad. He says that the yields can be
argely increased by securing good seed,
nd the labor of keeping the fields clear
f weeds minimized. inbuying nursery
took, farm and garden seeds, and all
he important items needed on the farms
f the tract, he says that unity and the
uying in quantities large enough to send
good buyer to the larger markets is
he only proper way to assure the great
st success.

The number of foreign students at
the German universities, which. owing
to the increased severity in the condi-
tions of admission, had declined last
year to 1884, has risen to 1921, chief
ly because this is the first summer in
which foreign women could matricu-
late at all universities The numbers
inelude 1878 Russians, GA Austro-

work that has been going on in our own
districts in connection with the reclaim
ing of land and railroad building, that
oats have been the most profitable of
the cereal crops with wheat probably
second in line.
This view, of course, as to the ad |,
vantages of oats and wheat over bar
ley is from the view point of grower
and seller only, and not from the view
point of the man who grows his barley
for the feeding of his own live stock
Of the various cereals that are most
successful in the southern part of Idaho,
and particularly in the Twin Falls dis
tricts, the following varieties are best
known.
WHEAT
1st: Blue Stem End Dicklow
3rd Defiance Sd Little Club
OATS
1st Big Four End Lincoln
Sd Swedish 4th White Russian
White Moravian Blue Barley.
Oats are sown any time from April
10th to May goth, usually from one and
half to two bushels to the acre, ac-
cording to the time of seeding, whether
early or late. The seeding of oats as
well as other grains, should be done as
early as the spring permits, in order !
that they may have plenty of time to
stool in the cold weather and save the
extra amount of seed outlay necessary
in late sowing.
In our own work, during the first
year, we have sown some oats as early
as April 10th, and as late as June 1st,
and while some larger quantity was
used in the late planting, on the aver
age the yields were not very different.
The planting of wheat is done in our
country either in the fall or spring. AS
a rule the spring planting is more gen
eral. Some follow the practice of SOW
ng in the fall, between August 30th
and November 1st, usually from one to
,ne and half bushels of either Blue
Stem or Little Club, and have had very
profitable results. The spring planting

 RISE OF MINING MAN

Hoval A. Smith, chairman of the republican territorial committee, most prominent republican candidate for United States senator from Arizona, the "man in the saddle," fighter from the ground up, and lovable personality, which makes his friends friends for life, dropped into the lobby of the Gadsden for a few minutes last night on his way to Chicago. He had but a few moments to stay, but while he was here his visit was in the nature of a tri- umphal reception, says the Douglas Dispatch.
 Nearly everyone in Douglas knows fighting Hoval A. Smith, the man who successfully conducted the cam paign against Mark Smith and guid- ed Ralph Cameron into office. They were there, republieans-and demo- crats, for all the world loves a winner, and just at the present time Hoval A. Smith is a winner in every sense of the word A few months ago Hoval A. Smith was generally known as broke, but he had a lot of good prospects in the Globe dis trict, unbounded faith in Smith and the indomitable will which knows m s,,cb word ac fail
 Now those Globe prospects have developed into real copper mines, shippers, with the promise of big dividends, and if Hoval A. Smith wanted to close out his stock hold ings in the Live Oak, the Cordova and other properties he could make his bank account considerably over million of dollars. There isn't a man who knows him who isn't glad of it, for he is generous as the day T. !. < '!.- .- .t .' .s' !. T. !. .- < furnaces. Instead of finding them selves frozen out, the small coke op orator has learned that year after year he has a chance to contract foI his entire output of his mines and his plants with the steel corporation While the copper market in general may not be influenced to this extent something like this effect will be felt in a wide range of districts. IT other words, the prospects for the in dividual copper mine owner would be the brighter for the completion of the proposed merger.

loyal to his friends and fights his enemies in the open. He has a lot of enemies and is proud of it. He stands close to the administration at Washington, and while in every sense of the word what is known as progressive republican, he is a great admirer of Taft, and has the admiration and confidence of the great big president in turn.
 Smith is enthusiastic over Globe: "Globe is an open town, with many great mines, owned by many people. Competition is fresh and the result is that the city is growing like wildfre and enjoying a period of wonderful prosperity. Globe is bound to be the greatest mining center in the southwest, barring none. The mines are there and the enterprise and capital are there to develop them. The railroads are working overtime to be in a position to handle the immense ore tonnage and to- haul supplies into the rapidly growing city.
 CT have no doubt of statehood at the present session. Those are my latest advices from Washington, from sources unquestionable. I believe in non-partisan constitutional eonven- ton so far as possible. With state hood is coming a wonderful indus trial and settlement impetus for all Arizona. We have a great virgin state. It is just entering upon its first period of real development.

WMurphy-on the trail. ''

'Murphy-on the trail"
 A Yankee glanced at the register, at the St. Michael yesterday. Then he said: "wen, I do declare" with the prettiest English accent heard in these parts in many a day.
 An actor mana real ikely-look- ing matinee favorite, glanced at the register. He said: ''Bah Jove." /"
 Now, don't think for a moment that this fob was born across the big pond. He wasn't. He had once been a haymaker in Kansas, but his accent changed immediately when he was assured of a few dollars per day and soup both for lunch and dinner. Soup in his infantile days came thrice, but when he was old enough to pass up the baby food stage, he got it only on Sundays. Conse- quently having it twice placed be- fore him one can excuse his affected accent, even if he is in the far west.
 But to Murphy
 Does he affect an accent7 Does he act like a boob? Does he initiate an English butleri
 Ask Murphy this last question and get a blow that would send the dusky Johnson into that land where sweet, salubrious dreams continue un- til after the referee has counted the ill-fated ten.
 Murphy is Irish. He has the brogue that makes the hearts of the sons of the Emerald Isle thump to the accompaniment of "Erin go Bragh."
 Murphy wears overalls and a jump CT. There is nothing phony about Murphy. He dresses in the cities just as he does in the hills.
 And he is educated. He will talk bit of ''Omnia Gallia in tres partes divisa est.'' He will go you one | better. He will spiel few stanzas in Greek. The modern languages are easy for him.
 Yet he prefers the hills. He says they call to him. He has happiness and contentment there. He adds that there his ''wunderlust is cured When he is in the cities he mingles with the "boys," but the white lights and the champagne route weary him. He prefers the "simple life. J He announces that he is, therefore a disciple of "Teddy the African Hunter"
 It is not necessary to ask whC Murphy is. He is known wherever mining has flourished. He travels
