In an article published in the
Spokesman Review, about December
8 or 10 it says in an article headed
Idaho U. asks 100000 of State. -
That the Legislative appropriation
for 1909 was $4,000 when it re-
ally was $50, 500; also says Oregon
receives from the National govern
ment $4,000, Utah $4,000, Montan
$4,000, silent regarding Idaho, while
it is a fact that we received $780,
600 per year from the National Aid
and this will gradually increase, un
der the laws already enacted by
Congress until it reaches almost
&10$0 900 per year.
! am writing this article so the
people may understand this question
more plainly, as comparatively few
people read reports and the news
paper gives far more extended no.
tice and furthurmore this is written
purely as an article of information
without one particle of enmity or
being simply one of

was made up of NJ E. Steele. Mr..

way. They were driving team Of
big gray mules from the dam, with
reputation for running away at
any time they chose. The team
got up enough excitement to break
singletree and then began to be
properly agitated themselves. With
the one animal free, the team be-
gan to circle arond Mr.. Holloway,
who was driving, hung on to the
lines until the wagon went over,
throwing the occupants out on to
the frozen ground; and then he was
dragged through the sage brush for
a considerable distance before he
could stop the runaways. 1t was
little if any short of a miracle that
no one was seriously hurt; Mr.. Hol-
loway Jared the worst, through his
hanging on to the team when they
parted company with their load, and
most of these were to his clothes
er members of the party suffered a
rather than to his person. The 9TH

Mr. Holloway, who has been time
keeper at the dam, has finished his
work there with the completion of
the structure, and he and his wife
were on their way east for we'll

The same team of mules ran away
year ago with Supt. Doring and
Mr.. Steele, and only a big snow
drift into which they were fortunate
enough to be thrown, saved them

HONORABLE ENOUGH.
But Justice of the Peace Is Not a
Short Cut to Great Wealth.

r. D. Crothers, who at the last
election was. elected one of the two
justices of the peace for Richfield
precinct, has about decided that he
will not qualify for the office He
says that he served as justice in a
Middle Western state. holding the
title of Judge for nine years. In
that time he succeeded in averting
a lot of trouble for men and women
who thought they had grievances,
but on his explanation of the costs
of litigation decided they were not
so badly wronged after all. But it
wasn't a job that could suit an
Uncle Moneygrabber a bit. In the
nine years, his total receipts were
twenty-five cents in money and a
hungry "yaller' dog Mr. Crothers
says that it is a dignified enough Of
flee, and that good men ought to fill
it, but he isn't hankering after any
notoriety just now.

Representative V. V. Bower and
family will leave this week for a
holiday visit with relatives at Good
ing. From there they will go to
Boise, where Mr.. Bowers work as
a member of the legislature will be-
gin on Monday, January 2. The
session of the legislature will last
fer at least 60 days, the constitu-
tional period; and it might be some
days longer, as it was last year, by
the time all of the business is fin
ished. The family will remain in
of the session.
Mr.. Bower goes as free as any
man in the legislature from any in
fluences that will tend to warp the
judgment or tempt the morals. He
has no pet hobbies, to get which he
might be tempted to forget his gen.
eral obligation to serve all the
people not only of the. county but
of the state He may be expected
to bring home an excellent record,
one worthy the honorable office to
which he has been elected by so
large a majority.

This is the Merry Christmas time.
Everybody is supposed to get all
that's coming to him at this time of
the year.
Some of us want that much---and
lot of us would much rather not,
for the truth is we would get be
a bit happy if every mean thing we
have done were to rise up to haunt
or to ck us.
But we hope for forgiveness, if
our deeds have been off color for
reward, maybe, if we have been a
little less bad than we might have
been; for mercy any charity if we
have been unfortunate-in fact, we
look for Merry Christmas good will
and cheer, whether we deserve it or
not.
The year has brought SO much of
good. that it ought to be Merry
Christmas to every one. There has
been work for almost every one
who wanted work; crops for all who
were ready and willing to raise
them; good healt for almost every
one; and so many little but desir-
able things that it has been year
would but accept it so. More than
long Christmas for most Of us if we
would but accept it that way.
And there are still some good an
nouncements to be made.
For instance, the big dam for the
Idaho Irrigation Company is finish
ed, ready to hold water. The sup
erintendent has quit the job and is
now on his way back to New York

army of workmen have gone out, as
their pay stopped when the job was
completed. 1t true that there
is a little concrete work yet to do
en- the water control tower, but the
dam as whole is completed, ready
for the coming of the spring flood.

length and 140 feet deep at the

holders on the Richfield tract, and
he has lot of other lands that are
put nto his hands for disposal He
will not now open an office in town,
but expects to do lot of correspon-
dence business. With the coming of
spring, it is a practical certainty
that there will be a real boom in
Richfield lands, and Mr. Phelps be-
lieves that the agent who can inter-
est buyers before the opening of
spring will find it easy to make his
sales.

upon the proposition of paving Pop
