Some time before the Centennial

his study Of it over, he called to MIR.
Dow: is this picture for sale?"

10000 ACRES OPEN FOR ENTRY
Auction To Be Held At Springfield,
Idaho, On October q.

Nearly 10000 acres of land, under
the irrigation system of the American
Falls Canal and Power company, will
be opened for entry on Thursday, Oc-
tober II, at Springfield. Idaho. The
appurtenant water rights will be sold
at auction at the same time and place,
giving the successful bidders priority
in the entry of the land
This project originally contained
10000 acres approximately and was
the first undertaken in Idaho under
the Carey Act. 1t had no opening,
such as became popular later. Instead
the $4,000 acres of land that were en-
tered were disposed of privately. The
10000 acres remaining were withheld
from entry. A part of this acreage, it
was believed might be needed as a
reservoir site The remainder was not
available for use until needed later
al should be constructed. The project
ed reservoir site has been abandoned,
and the lateral is to be dug at once, so
that all of the land hitherto withheld
has now become ready for entry and
for USE
Some of the land, approximately one
third, is few feet above the water
grade, SO that it will be necessary to
raise the water in order to irrigate
this portion. The soil. however, is ex-
cellent In the main, and the water can
be lifted inexpensively. The remain
der of the land is under ditch and all
of 1t is of the average quality of the
Snake river valley. 1t consists of a
lava ash. The fertility of this soil is
not matter for question. 1t is dem
onstrated on thousands of acres now
| in cultivation.
| AS in all Carey act nroiects the state
| land board of Idaho has fixed the price
at which the land and water rights on
| this tract may be sold 1t is $4,000 an
acre, of which fifty cents is the flat
! charge for the land per acre. This
sum, $4,000, is the maximum that may
| be charged. At the auction sale, when
| any bid of this amount Is made, the
| piece of property will be sold. No bid
of less than $3.50 an acre for land
and water will be entertained, but
| should a bidder offer $3.50 and there
| be no advance the bid will be accepted
| Payments shall be made as follows
Three dollars and twenty-five cents
| per acre cash (cf which rs cents goes
to the stated, one-tenth of the remain
der of the purchase price each year
| thereafter (the first of these payments
becoming due October 81, 1910 until
the principal is fully paid, interest be-
ing charged on deferred payments at
the rate of per cent per annum. A
further payment of twenty-five cents
per acre must be made to the state
within three years and prior to the
making Of final proof for patent This
/ twenty-five cents per acre is regarded
as part of the purchase price, but is
paid to the state direct and completes
the states charge of fifty cents per
acre for the land.

STARTS AGGRESSIVE CAMPAIGN
Gov. Brady Strikes From the Shoulder
Against refractory.

Governor Brady is quite right in as
Stunning the aggressive. There is no
reason why he should be placed in a
defensive attitude. There is no official
action of his and especially in connec-
ton with land board matters, for
which he need apologize to anybody.
There is not Democratic spell-binder
from Mr.. Hawley down, who can point
to a single dishonest official act on
the part of the governor. None has
done so; none will do so. But there
will continue to be innuendo and at
tack over the shoulders of others.
That sort of thing Governor Brady ex-
posed in his Troy speech when he de-
clared he did not propose to be besm-
irched by insinuation because of the
action of any member of the board. He
made special reference to Secretary of
State Lansdon, who is fighting the gov
ernor more bitterly than the Demo-
cratic leaders
If Governor Brady has been guilty
of one dishonest act as member OF
the land board, the public is entitled
to know it; and the Democratic COM
mittee, making land board matters its
issue, will furnish the Indictment If
there is any basis therefor, or it must
stand branded as unfair and dema-
gogic and therefore not entitled to
public confidence.
The governor cannot be held respon-
sible for the acts of any other member
of the board. He is quite right in
striking from the shoulder at the DEM
ocratic speakers who indulge in In
nuendo and at any Republican office
holder who poses as their man FRI
| day.-Statesman.

SHUT DOWN ON STOP OVERS
Beginning With This Month, Former
Liberal Privileges Are No More.

Beginning the first of October stop
over privileges expect on round trip
tickets, were discontinued by the rail-
roads of the country, and passengers
purchasing tickets must buy from
place to place If they wish to stay over
anywhere before reaching their desti-
nation. The railroads claim this is
necessary to do away with the scalp
ing evil which it is said has reached
point where the roads lose thousands
of dollars annually. 1t is the opinion
Of the travelling public, however, that
travel will decrease as result of this
step.
Under the new arrangement on all
tickets not good for return passage
west bound passengers for the winter
get no chance to visit the cities en-
route unless they purchase round trim
tickets and arrange at the time of
starting for a certain going time. Per-
sons making trips must complete them
in the going time," and stopovers will
be allowed only long enough to make
train connections.

Hardship for the Carriers

A communication from the post
Office department at Washington is
of interest to the patrons of the
rural mail routes and to the public
generally. 1t says:
From a recent count made by
rural carriers in one of the counties
in the state of New York of coins
deposited by patrons in their boxes
for the purchase of stamp supplies
it was found that each carrier in
the county was collecting an average
of lis coins each week. This aver
age applied to all the routes in
operation throughout the country
would give the enormous total of
about 300,000,000 coins.
1t is the desire of the post-office
department to put an end to this
practice as it places an undeserved
hardship on the carrier. This pick
ing up of coins by the carriers causes
delays in the delivery and collection
OF mails and frequently results in
money loss to the carriers, for if, in
collecting coin from the boxes, any
is dropped into the snow without
recovery, the carrier is forced to
replace the amount out of his own
funds. The government urges that
patrons equip their boxes with suit
able coin-holder receptacles
