NO PLACE FOR "WEARY"
How Busy Three Men Can Be On
the Richfield Tract

AS an illustration of what a man
may do, and thrive physically as vel
as mentally w. ]. Taper and the
Engle boys have this spring cleared
and put in 200 acres of land for 9th
er claimants besides a large acre
age on their own fine farms. And
when you get to talking in tracts Of
land that run up into three figures,
especially up on the heayily-coyered
sage brush land that is found in
their locality you get into propo-
sition that would give the average
Weary Willie" seventeen kinds of
hart failure, three kinds of fatal
fits and rheumatism and corns and
bunions so that a wholesale drug
store wouldn't begin TO cure him.
The land is fine enough after it Is
cleared to make man wish that he
had saved all his money and not
bought fine clothes or bet on the
big fight or eaten pie three times
a day when twice would have done;
but it Is sure some work to clear
1t and put it into cultivation.

FALL SOWN ALFALFA
Can Be Made the Most Profitable Of
All Late Crops.

John Mcpherson ,agriculturist for
the company, will next week give
the Recorder an important article
on the sowing of alfalfa in the fall.
There have been good farmers who
have believed that it was waste of
time and strength to sow alfalfa in
the fall. Some remarkable records
made on the lands of the Idaho Ir-
rigation Company show that this Is
grossly mistaken notion and that
alfalfa can be sown in the fall 30
as to make it the most profitable
crop that can be put in. Every far
mer should read it.

RICHFIELD'S CANDIDATE
V. v. Bower Asks for NOmina-
tiOn on Republican Ticket.

Richfield will have one candidate
for nomination for a county Office
on the republican ticket in the per-
son of V. V. Bower. Mr. Bower be-
lieves that he can secure the nom
ination for one place on the legis-
lative ticket and he will ask the
peoples endorsement therefor 1t is
not great money-making office, as
the state has considered the
honor with a nominal pecuniary re-
ward should be sufficient to invite
the best men of the state to serve
in the legislature. Mr. Bower will
meet with a very warm support, and
he will merit the very best that the
county can give him. He has had a
good business training, he will fight
to the last ditch for his convictions,
and there will be no member with a
greater desire to do what the peo-
pie want done. Whoever may be
the other member of the house from
county, the house is bound
to recognize the Bower influence
it will not be a passive, "Me-too"
echo of what some one else says or
does. 1t is the year for a lot of
good sober legislation for the good
of the state and dependable men
of the Bower stripe ought to be sent
from every county. There are not
enough men who are willing to take
such an office, save as they may
sell out or work fo some pernicious
cause that pays them well at the ex-
peuse of the people. The people of
ais county. would make no mistake
n giving the Richfield candidate a
pig majority.

First Years Showing
Richfeld Tract Leads All Other Irri-
cation Projects in First Years
Crop Showing

Nowhere for the first year on any
of the Carey Act projects of the
west has a better showing been
made of fine crops and permanent
improvements than has been and is
being made by the settlers on the
Idaho Irrigation Companys tracts.
Some of the finest fields of winter
wheat oats, barley, potatoes and
alfalfa are to be found upon these
tracts, and the capital invested in
substantial houses, barns and 9TH
er farm buildings, and the high class
of live stock owned by the settlers
certainly is evidence of the faith
and never firing energy OF the set
tiers on this proejct.
Nowhere in the west is better
opportunity held out to the farmer
than on the various tracts of the
Idaho Irrigation Company's system.
On these tracts, all crops that can
be raised in the west can be rails
ed to perfection. The raising of
sheep on the farm, hog raising and
general live stock will be gone in
to by the settlers as sooon as the
raising of alfalfa is far enough ad-
vanced which will be soon, as a
majority of the farmers are about
ready to do now.
The wonderful growth and yield
of alfalfa ,as well as other grasses
on these tracts, and the cheapness oil
raising live stock, cannot be equal

states. The farmers. of this sec
tion will soon be among the first

Old Saracen's Head Hotel In London
Forced to Close by New
License Taxes.

Another link with Dickens will soon
be lost to London by the closing OF
the old Saracen's Head hotel In Snow
Hill. The old place has been com
PEELED to close by the pressure OF
the new budget taxes, for although IL
had a good trade with the men en-
ployed in the neighboring meat mar
ket at Smithfield it could not bear UP
against the new license duties.
The Saracen's Head was an import
ant place in its day. Dickens immor
talized it in Nicholas Nickleby" when
he made Mr.. Wackford Squeers OF
Dotheboys Hall In Yorkshire stop
there when he came to London to
interview the young gentlemen who
were to be accurately educated
at his academy. Parts Of the build
ing are about 400 years old, and there
are records showing that It has been
used as hotel for at least that
period. OF course, it has been re-
built number OF times, and the
structure now looks quite modern.
In the mail coach days it was one
OF the recognized stopping places.
Lord Nelson when he left home as
boy to join the navy passed night
there on his way through London.
The guests at the hotel used to col
lect on the balconies which surround
ed the old yard to watch the coaches
arrive and depart. This yard has
long since disappeared. It's site being
covered with business buildings. II
Is expected that the old hotel build
Ing will either be torn down or con
verted into warehouses.
If Charles Dickens knew OF 1t, 1t is
probable that he would turn over In
his grave. AS 1t Is. there Is sorrow
mingled with incredulity in the ranks
of the Dickens Fellowship. Every
adult In these islands who can read
is supposed to have read "Pickwick

vealed, but after this literary critics

hundred one hundred and fifty dol
lars an acre. That the productive
powers of the land will easily war
rant these prices ,is as certain as
the shining of the sun; the only
thing needed to make them real is
for the land to be generally settled
and cultivated, to give it the value
of the other valuable lands around
it. A gratifying number of very
favorable replies are being received,
indicating that the people will be
glad to command the services of a
responsible company that will give
good service at minimum of
expense If the cost to the set
tier could be reduced one or two dol
lars an acre and by that reduction
it would stimulate the opening and
cultivating of one or two thousand
additional acres, it would be the
best business move the company has
ever made. 1t would be dollars in
the pockets of every farmer on the
tract ,and more than to any one
else to the business men of Rich
field Every acre put into cultiva-
tion means more people, moore i'm
proved land to pay taxes to build
and maintain good roads--and good
roads mean increased trade for the
town and increased comfort for the
farmers. 1t is to be hoped, from
every standpoint, that there will be
sufficient encouragement to lead
the company to carry out this plan,
for the benefit of the people who
live and are yet to live here.

future development which the farm

Legislation that ultimately is ex-

There were a few measures that
had the administration support that
failed to pass among them being

BoRAH DID IT.
Idaho Senator Gets Credit for Recla-

A Washington dispatch to the

ITO Senator Borah Is due great
deal of credit for the final passing
of the certificate issue bill for the
completion of the irrigation projects.
said C. A. Lamson, of Cheyenne,
who is spending some days in Wash
inghton.
The Idaho senator has been one O
the most enthusiastic advocates of
this legislation. The only regret tht
westerners will have is that the
issue will not be for $50. 100000 as
they had looked for that amount.
There are thousands of settlers in
Idaho who will be glad that the is
sue of the certificates has been au-
thorized. These settlers took up
lands years ago on the presumption
that the irrigation projects cn which
they depended would be pushed to
has delayed and many rosy pros
pect has been shattered because the
settlers have been unable to farm
the land with sst..s
have abandoned their land, believ-
ing that it would be years before
the projects would be completed.
The issuance OF the certificates will
swing the tide of opinion back
again.
