SOUTH IDAHO
GREATEST EVER

One of the leading agricultural ex-
perts of the country, Professor P. G.
Holden, of the Agricultural college,
attracted by the amazing stories told
of the productiveness of irrigated
lands in Southern Idaho, made per-
sonal investigation of this area, during
visit extending over several weeks.
AS a result of his investigation, Pro-
fessor Holden writes as follows:
Southern Idaho is the ideal place
for start in life. Every acre of irri-
gable land in this section is worth, in
yield or income, three times as much as
the best land in Illinois or Iowa. am
from Iowa, but if man is to move
southern Idaho is the place to go; and
for the young man it is full of wonder
full opportunities.
"The farmer plans his work from
one years end to the other and knows
just what he will do each day. In
this way one can secure a much larger
yield from a certain acreage, because
| there is never any waste of time.
There are no idle seasons in the
Snake river country. The cool nights
and hot days make the best kind of
grain-hard kernels and full heads.
alfalfa, oats or other grains can
be cut and no fear of a rain to spoil
the hay or rot the grain. The farmer
takes his own time harvesting. 1 ex-
amined grain and hay stacks and
found no grain spoiled or badly cured
hay. As far as l could reach, it was
all absolutely first quality.
"The entire season of southern Idaho
is adapted to fruit and it will unques-
: tionably become an enormous producer
= of all kinds of fruit. 1t is at the
same time grain, farming and stock
country, hogs doing especially well.
There will always be all kinds of grain
: raised and in most abundant quaint
! ties.
! Trees make growth in three years
1 equal to ours at five years, as the
growing season is much longer.
a ain this connection l would say that
e I feel sure land can be bought out
: there, an orchard set out, potatoes
t planted between rows, and from the
potatoes alone, the owner will make a
S living, pay for his land, pay for his
trees and planting, and his orchard
= when five or six years old, will be
r worth $500 per acre" American

down Indian creek was diverted by
the government canal and carried
down that to the Deer Flat reservoir,
so that at Nampa the creek was not
more than two-thirds full and no dam
age was done.
Repairs were quickly made to the
road bed of the Short Line where it
had washed and trains were delayed
but short tine. No. ID, the Idaho
Express from Salt Lake reached Boise
last night only about two hours late.
The extent of the damage to the
reservoir has not been ascertained
here by those interested in it and for
that reason officers of the company
are inclined to believe that but little
damage was done.

ARE BUSY ON
CANYON CANAL

From now until the time to turn
water into the Canyon canal, that ir-
rigation system will be the scene of
lively operations. A large force OF
men was put to work Monday morn
ing. They are in charge of c. M.
Park, and have established their camp
at Black Canyon Their work will
consist of repairing the frame work on
the fumes.
The contract for lining the fumes
with Malthoid has been awarded to
Frederick S. Brown of Evanston, ILL.,,
who arrived last week and Is making
preparations to start operations in
few days. This is a big job, but
Mr.. Brown is confident of completing
it in time for the irrigation season.
The malthoid itself weighs 100 tons
and cost $4,000. 1t is the heaviest
weight manufactured and is used ex-
tensively for this purpose.
Tho material for all the repairs
to the main canal has arrived and
most of it was distributed along the
right of way while tho roads were
hard. The repairs for the siphon
are probably on the road now, as En-
gineer Wilkie, who recently made a
special trip to Salt Lake for the pur-
pose of hurrying the order, was in
formed that it would be shipped in a
short time.
The timberin of Tunnel No. is
practically completed, and tho force
employed there will be moved to the
other tunnel in a few days. At the
dam, crew of thirty men are rip
rapping the river banks below the
headgato to prevent further cutting

ley and also with the residents of

POSTAL BANKS
BILL PASSES

Dividing practically on party lines,
the senate, at the close of the third
session of the legislative day of
March 3, Saturday passed the admin
istration postal savings bank bill.
Of the 72 votes cast SO were in ia
vor of the bill and % against. All
the negative votes were cast by Dem
ocrats.
AS it goes to the house the bill
authorizes the various money order
departments in postoffices to accept
sums of one dollar or more from de-
positors and to deposit these sums in
the local banks, where the money is
to remain unless withdrawn by the
president in case of war or other ex-
igencies. In the case of it's withdraw
al the funds are to be invested in gov
eminent securities but with the pro-
vision that such securities shall not
draw less than IA per cent interest
The control of the funds is vested in
board of trustees composed of the
postmaster general, the secretary Of
the treasury and the attorney-gen
eral.
The aggregate balance allowed Il
any depositor is $500 and no person
permitted to deposit more than 500
in any one month. The government il
required to pay two percent interes
and must enact not less than 2 l.
per cent from the banks, the extr;
quarter of one per cent being require
for thepayment of expenses an
losses.
1t is calculated that such a lax
would bring much money out of hid
ing and result in fund ranging a
the way from five hundred millio
to one billion dollars.
Beginning at Has o'clock Satul
day the senate's session continue
from 1850 p. m. and practically a
this time devoted to the considerable
of amendments.
An amendment by Speaker Bora
providing that the funds shall not b
placed in state bonds or other scul
, tiles paying less than 1-2 per cen
interest was carried.
Mr.. Shoots amendment which wa
adopted prevents the investment Q
the funds in per cent bonds, but pei
mits the purchasing of Panama 8 pc
cent bonds.

SECOND FLOOD
FLUKEO OUT

By the breaking of the reservoir
near Orchard Sunday, slight damage
was done to the Oregon Short Line
and trains were delayed few hours
before proceeding on their way.
Otherwise there was little in the acct
dent to attract attention.
The dam broke several years ago
at which time the entire force of a
great volume Of water was sent down
Indian creek, with the result that the
railroad was badly washed out and
Nampa and Caldwell were flooded and
great damage was done. In orded to
guard against such a contingency in
the future additional spillways were
put in the dam for the release of the
flood waters so that, in times of
abundance of water the reservoir was
not kept so full as before. The Short
Line made a cut through it's roadway
body of water through that and down
through that and down into Snake
river.
When the break came Sunday much
of the water was turned that way,
thus saving the railway and pre-
venting a large flow down Indian
creek. A large part of what started

near HOMEDALE

Word was received here Monday
that Joe Tracy, a ferryman at the
Homedale and Fargo ferry, lost his
life at 11:3O that morning when pilot
ing the ferry across the Snake river to
Homedale. Tracy was at the wheel
and in some inexplicible manner it
flew back, hitting the ferryman with
sufficient force to knock him into the
river. The body has not yet been
found. On the ferry at the time of
the accident were two men and team
of horses.
The ferry had left the south side
of the river coming to Homedale, and
had gone half way across the stream
when Tracy started to make some
necessary change. The crank slipped
and revolving with great rapidity
struck him and he was knocked APP
parently senseless into the river. His
body was soon lost to sight and no
trace of it has been found up to a
late hour this evening.
The ferryman resided close to
Homedale, where he had a ranch.
The ferry is owned on a cooperative
plan by the farmers of this district
He was about SIS years of age and is
survived by three sons and two
daughters. He also has a brother
living in this city.
