Clara bench, three venturesome farm
ers this year raised good crops OF
splendid wheat.
Last year, in the early spring,
Messrs. John Stuck, Ernest Reber,
and Fred Reber plowed up few
acres of land of the Santa Clara bench
and last August planted three varities
of wheat, the dollhouse, Red Chaff
and Turkey Red. The three varities
sprouted and took root soon after
planting, and appeared to grew
throughout the mild Dixie winter.
On May 23 the grain, then fully rip
ened, was harvested. The most re-
markable thing about this experience
is that not a drop Of rain fell on the
ground from the end Of last Deem
Der until harvest time. The water
used to mature the crop must have
been drawn entirely from the store Of
natural soil moisture, and from that
which fell between the time of seed
ing and the end of December. If
Dixie can do this, what cannot the
more rainy districts accomplish.
Another man who laughed at the
drouth is William Bond, of Modena.
Modena also lies in a district where
the precipitation is very low, con-
siderably under 10 inches. The
scrubby sagebrush up small farm,
Just few rods from the railroad sta
ton, and sowed 1t to rye. Since that
time he has disced the ground each
year and scattered rye on it. AS a re-
suit, he has supplied himself with
great deal of good hay for his live
stock, and has used his farm as
pasture for his stock. He claims that
he has made, each year, at least IS
per acre"

farmers are expected to attend the

or has had on it's payroll during the
many moons that have passed and
gone into recorded history of it's
eventful doings. Wallis is strictly on
to his job, and has a most willing
spirit when it comes to doing his
duty. He Is a lawyer and well ground
ed in the fundamentals of that pro-
fession, which qualities him for con-
sidering and discussing mooted legal
points which arise on every hand in
his present line of business; he has
served several terms as represent
ative in the state legislature, which
has frightened his faculties as a con-
structor as we'll as interpreter of law;
and last, but not necessarily least, he
is a newspaper man, which qualities
him to be ID past, present and fu-
tCre, by every ignoramus who hobs
up and to receive it with a happy
smile and unruffled temper-and

does the most good. Wallis is max
ing good, and is one of the most
talked of men in the stat today

LIKES FRENCH, BUT

Montpelier Examiner
While thousands of republicans
Throughout Idaho have great respect
for Ex-Congressman French and do
not approve of the methods that were
used to bring about his defeat for
denomination two years ago. They
do not feel like turning down Con-
gresham Hamer this year, in view
of the fact the latter has made an
exceptionally good record during his
first term in congress. Had Mr.. Ha-
mer failed to have made good" at
Washington, there is little doubt but
what the republicans of Idaho would
reward Mr.. French this year by again
making him their candidate for con-
gress. However, we believe that un-
der the circumstances Mr.. Hamer is
deserving of and will be given a re-
We also believe that the
republican party of Idaho will, at
some future time again reward Bur-
ton l.. French for his faithful SER
vices in the past.

A SORRY EXHIBITION

1t has been with great regret
that we have learned that Mr.. B. F
ONeil candidate for nomination for
the Office of governor on the republi-
can ticket, was one of the spectators
of the recent prize fight at Reno
Nevada. We hoped at first the story
of his having gone there was untrue,
but the fact seems to be fully es-
tablished.
Of course, it is Mr.. O'Neil's privil-
ege to go to such an exhibition if he
wishes to do so, yet it is with very
great regret that the people of this
state learn that a man who aspires
to the governorship has been willing
to place himself in such position.
We do not desire to indulge in per-
sonalties in this campaign. We have
refrained as much as possible from
making use of anything that might
be classed as personal attack. We
40 not now wish to attack Mr.. o.
Neil because he saw fit to visit Reno
and watch the contest between two
pugilists. We feel 1t our duty, how
ever, to call attention to the fact
that he was there. We do 1t with
profound regret and with a sense of
modification because of the fact that
he did 60 there.
Nevada is the only state in the
Union where that band of pugilists
and other sporting men could have
carried out their program. They
were driven out of California, which
has heretofore been the Mecca for
such so-called sport. Public senti-

IARGHEE NATIONAL FOREST RE-
DUCED AND DIVIDED

Washington, d. C. Aug. 12.-The
President has signed a proclamation
eliminating approximately $3.50
acres in Idaho and $3.50 acres in
Wyoming from the Targhee National
Forest and dividing the remaining
area into two Forests. These elimin-
ations are the result of a careful ex-
animation made by the Secretary of
Agriculture las summer, which
showed that the lands now included
are mainly non-timbered areas of
more or less value for grazing or ag-
riculture and not needed for forest
or for watershed protection.
The largest elimination is an area
of approximately 10000 acres along
the Oregon Short Line R. R. near the
aho-Montana line. These lands are
strictly of a grazing character. Near
Henry's Lake about 5000 acres are
eliminated, and in the vicinity of
Rea's Park about six sections of ag-
ricultural land are excluded. A con-
siderable area of purely grazing lands
in the vicinity of the town of Heise
in the vicinity of the town of Heise
along the South Fork of the Snake
River is excluded.
BY the division, the northern Sec
ton of the Forest remains as the
Targhee and the southern section be-
comes the Palisade. The dividing
line follows the Teton River, which
lies almost directly east of st. Anth-
ony, Idaho. The object of the divis-
ion was to make two convenient units
each of which could be administered
by separate supervisor. The Pals
ade Forest was placed in charge of a
separate officer on January /, 1910,
with headquarters at St. Anthony,
which place is also the headquarters
of the Targhee. The area of the
Farghee Forest thus reduced is ap-
proximately S51.280 acres, and that
of the Palisade, 583,S50 asres.
The unappropriated portions of the
lands eliminated by this proclamation
become part of III, public domain
subject to settlement: after the publ
cation of notice to that effect by the
Secretary of the Interior, prio" +"
which time all settlement and occupa-
ton are expressly forbidden. They
are not subject to entry, filing, or
selection until thirty days after the
date of the Secretary's notice.

ment became so profoundly aroused
that the governor of the state was
obliged to interfere and, on his inter-
vention, the sports folded their tents
and HE'D away to Nevada, the only
state where they could hope to find
immunity while carrying out the pro-
gram they arranged.
Public sentiment on the subject Of
prize fighting, as reflected by the at
tidude Of all the other states of the
Union is SO pronounced that we
would not believe that a man occu-
plying the position of Mr.. O'Neil be-
fore the people would be willing to
show himself among those gathered
to witness such an exhibition. We
do not know what his motives were.
We cannot conceive what motive
could have influenced him to put
himself in such a position before the
people of this state.
1t might be necessary at some flu
ture time for the governor of the
state of Idaho to put his foot down
to prevent prize fight within the
borders of the state. When the late
Frank Stuencnberg was governor, he
was obliged to do that on one occas-
ion, though it was no great prize
ring affair that was threatening.
He simply determined that prize
fighting of any kind should not be
INDUCED in in the state of Idaho.
In the future, If the prize fighters
should find we had a governor who
was willing to permit them to fight
in Idaho, we might be visited with
the humiliation of having such an
exhibition in this state as was wit
messed at Reno. The mere fact that
Mr. O'Neil went to Reno shows that
his views on this subject are not in
accord with the views of the people
of Idaho and, in our judgment, his
record in this particular will elimin-
ate many people who may have here
tofore supported him.

MAY DOUBLE THE PRICE OF
LUMBER

Portland, Aug. S-That the forest
fires of the past month are but an
indication of worse to, come unless
people give more active heed to
warnings, is the tenor of a review of
the fire situation by the Western For
estry & Conservation association bas-
ed upon advices from private and Of
fetal fire fighting agencies through
out the Pacific northwest. August has
commenced with conditions infinitely
more dangerous, for besides increased
dryness of the forests due to pro-
longed absence of rain, almost con-
tinuous fire fighting has only kept in
check innumerable fires which still
shoulder to be famed beyond con-
troll should strong winds prevail.
Throughout most of Oregon and
Washington, up to the present time,
more extensive organizations by tim
Der owners and the Forest Service
than ever existed before has fairly
well counterbalanced the unusually
great number of fires. Most of them
here been controlled promptly. Never
theless, the aggregate of small out
breaks in valuable timber represents
heavy loss. The Santiam, klamath,
Wallows and Hood river districts in
Oregon, and the Grays harbor and
Colville districts in Washington have
suffered seriously. Three men and
four women have been burned to
death in these two states already and
the season is not half over.
Since all forces are fighting day
and night, with no time to make re-
ports, 1t is impossible to estimate the
damage done in Idaho and Montana,
though doubtless there has been much
exaggeration. In Idaho, especially,
where timber owners fire associations
are highly efficient, what seemed an
almost hopeless situation has been
gotten pretty we'll in check. In the
Occur d'Alene district but three fires
remain not reported under control,
these being on Pine and Graham
creek, near Wallace, and on the west
side of Lake Occur d'Alene. In West
ern Montana the situation is about as
bar as it can be, all available help
being enlisted without any certainty
Of the outcome if rain does not soon
intervene.
The association emphasizes that
The most dangerous portion of the
season is still to come. There are
fires everywhere that are barely be-
ng held in leash. New ones will
overtax all existing organizations.
Since conditions threaten under
which fire may travel long distances,
timber owners are urged to extend
patrol beyond their own tracts to all
LANCER points. Establishment of citi-
'ens fire brigades is advised, organi-
ing in advance for having help,
leadership and equipment available
without loss of time. Cities and, towns
ire asked to take similar steps to
supply men when called upon, with
arrangements or transportation
every citizen is urged to spare Meth
T friend nor foe in reporting viola
ions Of the fire laws, especially BY
ampers, land cleaners and spark !
uniting locomotives. It is pointed |
'ut by the association that IL the
warnings widely circulated earlier in
he season had resulted in such steps, 8
oss of life and property would have {
cen largely avoided. They stf, al.
ly with even greater force. II
