HE GROWS BIG THINGS.

Fred Pagan brought in to the Re-
corder office this week some field
corn grown on his place near town,
that eeks more like the fertile Mis-
souri, river bottoms than even that
wonderful corn country itself The
ears are big and fat and ripe enougl
to be practically beyond the reach
of frost. The amount of stock feed
that could be raised on an acre that
produced like the FagaH crop would
be simply bewildering, And he had
five yellow Danvers onions that tip
the scales at six pounds; and a col
lection of homemade watermelons
that revived instant and strenuous
memories of childhood's happy days
down on the farm, when melons and
bum ble-be and stone-bruises and
the old swimmin' hole were about al
there was of life, The Fagan garden
has been one Of the best on the
tract this year, though almost any
one could secure almost equally ex-
cellent results by the same care and
industry,

LINCOLN COUNTY FAIR.
HageI1nan Plans for Big Exhibition
OF Fruit and Farm Products.

Hagelman Plans for Big Exhibition
OF Fruit and Farm Products.
Hagerman has advertised for a
big fruit and agricultural fair, to
be held the 26th and 9th of this
month. Liberal premiums are being
offered in almost all lines of horti-
culture agriculture and live stock
enterprise, and good number of
exhibitors is expected 1t is the in
tention to save out the best of the
exhibits, where the exhibitors will
give or loan them for the purpose,
to send to represent Lincoln county
at the state fair in Boise, in Octo-
Der. There may not be, much other
han grain from this section that
could be expected to win prizes, but
1t would be worth any ones while
to go down there and see Just what
the county can produce. AS there is
little work ss=siiis
time 1T would be a nice little outing
for any one to drive down from
here, and spend week in seeing a
part of the county that net everybod
knows

NO MORE POLITICS.
Time to Boost for Bigger, Better
Nearer-at-Home Subjects

The Recorder is highly gratified,
personally, at the results in Rich
field. A violent effort was made
from Shoshone to discredit the Re-
corder, in the hope of breaking it's
influence here at home. The Re-
corder thanks its friends for their
vote of confidence. There isn't a
cent of any body's money in the
Recorder to influence its vote or to
buy its support; the only thing that
has carried weight is the one con-
sideration, Is it good for Rich field
Incidentally, one candidate did Of

on candidates announcements, not a
job or appointment, promised or I'M
plied---not a thing but the promise
of one chicken which is not yet de-
liyered is all the financial or pol
itical profit that has accrued to the
Recorder. Except the satisfaction,
which is about the same reward a
man gets for working hard at any
branch of athletics to win cham
pionship that has no money value.
And now that the primaries are
over. and it is to be presumed that
everybody will accept the results IN
an honest, friendly spirit, 1t is time
to take up other matters for our
own good To get more farms, more
farmers, more acres into cultiva-
ton. more bushels or tons to every
acre. more children in our schools,
more miles of railroad, more shops
and stores and factories--all these
are in order now. To please every
body who is already here, so that he
is and will bring his friends here to
be likewise pleased---that is the mali
thing from now.I If we do all these,
though county division howl at our
doors and the tariff gibber from the
dark, and new freak legislation and
old freak legislation pow-wow on
every hill, we shall prosper right

COYOTE GUESSED WRONG.
Fell Victim to His Poor Estimate of
Marlxsman's Skill.

W. NJ. Breck killed a coyote a few
days ago, with a rifle shot at 80
yards distance. The coyote, which
was an unusually large one, had a
pretty good idea of the carrying pow
er of rifle, and evidently consider
ed that it was safe distance away
the only error being it's calculation
on the skill of the marksman. 1t is
curious fact, reported by the pro-
fessional wolfers and hunters of the
west, that Immediately upon the in
PRODUCTION of the modern small bore,
high power smokeless cartridges,
about Is years ago, the coyotes
learned to double their safe distance
from the average hunter. 1t hap
pens that some coyotes are s i'll kill

they tarry as near at hand as they
did when black powder was in vogue

First State Bank.
G. R. Schwaner, recently from
Ansley, Nebraska, arrived in Rich
field Wednesday, and has taken the
position of cashier of the First State
Bank of this place. He is a compe
tent business man, with good ex-
perience, and the affairs of the bank
will be in competent hands. r. E.
Mickelwait, the vice president, Will
act as general manager of the bank,
his wide acquaintance and banking
experience being valuable asset
to the institution. There is perhaps
in no other town of equal size in the
state, so strong and we'll conducted
a bank as the First State of Rich
field, and it is the intention of the
directors and stockholders to keep
up the well earned reputation.

A MILLION RIPE DUCKS.
That Many Waiting for the Hunter
at the Big Reservoir.

II is reported that there are
great many ducks on the reservoir
above the big dam on Wood River:
the latest count gave the number at
one million, more or less. The sea-
son for shooting ducks is now open.
1t beginning with the first of Sep
tember Large numbers of grouse
and sage hens were reported at the
opening of the upland bird season,
two weeks ago; H. B. Jones saw
hundred or more on mis- trip 10 Sol
dier three days before the season
opened August 18th though he
succeeded in getting only seven on
his return just after the season op-
ened There is a lot of hunting en-
thusiasm here this fall, though most
of it is directed toward big game,
up in the mountais. Several parties
of hunters will go out from here as
the season progresses, and enough
guns have already been sold to run
a pretty effective arsenal.
The Recorder doesn't expect to be
able to make a long contemplated
hunting excursion into the wilds, but
if there is any one who wants
judgment as to the comparative ex-
cellence of game, either birds or
fish or deer or other big game,
satisfactory verdict will be guaran-
teed upon the presentation of ap-
proved samples
