DEMOCRATS ARE GETTING BUSY ON THE JOB

In the selection of these gentlemen
the county democratic ce trail com
mittee was far seeing. They chose
good timber for every office, men
who have demonstrated
who have demonstrated by their pri-
vate lives and the successes they
have made that they are capable of
making good in offices of public
trust, men of brains, ability and good
principles. w. H. Kestner was slat
ed for assessor and collector but re-
signed, so that F. E. DeKay might
receive the nomination for sheriff
and there would not be two men
from Blackfoot, without party rep
representative from the south end of
county. If these gentl. men hold of
flee, and put up a clean administra-
ton such as they pledged themselves
to do at the meeting Monday, they
will give an impetus to Democracy in
Bingham county such as 1t has not
had in many years before.

Boise, Ida, Feb. 4.-Bingham coun-
ty is divided. Bonneville county is
created. Idaho Falls is at last a
county seat. The bill was passed and
county created out of territory OF
north bingham by the efforts OF Sem
ator St. Clair in the senate and Rep
resentativcs Edington, Johnston and
Wamick in the house.
The creation of Bonneville county,
out of Bingham territory, recalls some
"ancient history of more than ex-
traordinary interest.
1t was in 1885, twenty-six years ago
this winter, that Bingham county was
created out of Oneida county terri
tory, with boundary lines extending
from a few niles below Oxford (noW

Apropos of the county of Bingham
being divided and the affairs of the
old county of Bingham and the new
county of Bonneville, being admins
tered by the d mocratic party, a
meeting of the Democratic county
central committee was called for
Monday, February 6, to be held IN
the Commercial Club rooms. EARLY
on that day there began to- arrive
from the various sections OF the
county the stalwart supporters OF the
Jeffersonian principals of Democracy
and before noon much caucusing had
been done by the various fact
ions within the party. States were
made, broken and made again. Un-
der the circumstances Governor HaW'
ley has the appointment of the new
officers and it is generally supposed
that County Clerk Jordan, Sheriff
Bucklin, Assessor Wright and County
Attorney Good will tender their res
ignatiocs as officers in Bingham

founded upon mother earth and true
principles, irrigation has come to
stay, and as the years succeed each
other, improvements and progress will
be made in the method Of its appli-
cation to the soil. The science will
be studied and perfected, bringing a.
bout a condition whereim a maximum
production can be obtained from
minimum water supply.
Though Idaho has a water supply
which has BEEN considered inexhaus-
able, yet a more conservative use OF
our waters must be brought about,
principally from the fact that as the
irrigated area increases the water
supply will decrease. Certain water
courses are now taxed to their limit

county and throw ther future desti--

all the stir and the making of the
Big Medicine" Monday.
Talk of sacrifice with the Repub-
lican party was abroad for while,
and it was thought that some Repub-
licans might be nominated by the
Democratic organization to fill the
contemplated vacancies, but after the
meeting only one Republican had
been nominated, and that was be-
cause there was no eligibles in the
ranks of the first named party.
Democrats Are Not "Wets.'
State Immigration Commissioner
Samuel ]. Rich presided temporarily
at the meeting, pending the re-or-
ganization of the committee. Mr..
Rich addressed the gathering for
about twenty minutes, telling OF the
needs of the party, ref rring to the
fact that the Democratic party was
referred to generally as the wet par
| ty, while in reality since the pass
age of the local option laws in the
state it was generally known that
there was more places where intox-
icants could be purchased than ever
h fore, and turning ais remarks to
local conditions, he said that in his
opinion the dives now conducted
within the confines of the city were
a disgrace to- amy cvlzed communi-
ty, that the pool rooms were men
ace to the young men, the high
school boys and the youth of our
community, and that the citizens oi
this commonwealth should ask the
city council to- pass an ordinance
prohibiting boys under twoaty-one
years of age from frequenting poo
rooms. and that he would be one OF
the Democratic party, in favor o.
stopping the sale OF intoxicating lDq
uors within the county, and that II
! the vert of the members of the par
tv securing the positions desired
they should enforce the laws to the
letter and thereby show to the peo
. ple that the Democratic party, Whicl
had been called the wet party
should forever stand for a highe
grade of morality than had charact
erized the republican party since tn
days of the passage of the local OF
, tom laws.
The Blackfoot optimist. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1907-1918, 1911-02-09

Mr.. Rich then presented the names
OF John w. Jones as chairman, w.
H. Stuffelbeam as vice-chairman and
j. #. Carruth as secretary OF the
new county central committe and
w. A. Beakley made motion that
the three names should be voted on
collectively. Jas. Just, of Presto, a
rose and asked that the names be
voted upon separately, suggesting
that the slogan of athe Democratic
party was: Let the People Rule,
and that raIlroading the names thro
in punches gave mo- one choice dn
the matter. The chairman stated
that he heard no second to Mr. JustG
motion and that gentleman said he
had not brought a second with him,
intimating thereby that Mr.. Rich
had brought his right alcmg to the
meeting i'm the person of w. A. Beak-
ley.
Twas Only A Ripple.
That however, was only little rip
pie on an otherwise harmonious meet
ing. The three officers were unani-
| mously elected and Mr.. Stuffelb am
succeeded Mr.. Rich in the chair. Mr
Rich then asked for a little further
patience on the part of the assem-
blage and stated that the Search and
Siezurc law, now before the house
and senate should receive the support
of the democracy, as should every
law tending to annihilate the liquor
traffic. This was met with great
cheering, aid VT locked as though
the much-abused Democratic party OF
Bingham county, was to set the NOR
al pace for the Republicans who wer'
voted into offices, both city and cour
ty, ON a decid dly dry platform.
A vote as to whether the commit
tee should go into executive session
or not was taken and it was decided
that it should. After the adjourn
ment of the committee it was learn
ed that the following gentlemen ha'
been chosen to fill the vacancies
which may arise from the resignatlo
of the officers elected at the genera
elction last fall: Sheriff F. E. DE
Kay; county attorney, w. A. BeaR
ley; clerk of the district court, j
T. Carruth, assessor and collector

To say that Idaho has more lands
under irrigation canals than any 9th
.er state in the American Union, is
merely to say, in other words, that
Idaho farmers are, to an extent not
by their brothers In amy
other state, insured against crop
failure; and mot only this, the Ida
no farmer is guaranteed that his pro
ductions per acre shall not be exceil-
ed by any one, and that his fruits
shall be the most luscious and his
grains the most sought after.
To say that Idaho has expended
more money for canal construction
and has more irrigated lands subject
to entry by the homesteader is to
reveal facts which easily predict the
future greatness of the Gem State
The heretofore desolate wastes are
fast being made productive; the sum
parched plains are yielding to the
magic touch of this mighty power;
and where once the dwarfed sage,
nesting under its wing the camel
like rabbit barred it's lonely head to the
sun, now appear the fruitful fields OF
growing grain end the happy homes
of the Nations sturdiest citizens.
Idaho's irrigated farms are attract
ing thousands of settlers to the st1te
each year-estimated all the way
from 10000 to- $4,000 persons
come and make homes. Considering
the many hundreds of thousands
nay, millions of acres of virgin Lands
yet untouched throughout the state
one can easily see the perpetuity o.
the wonderful record Idaho has al
ready made as the leading irrigation
and home-building state i'm the world
The irrigation question, though jus
awakened in many of the arid states
is practically solved problem, n'
far as this state is concerned. 1t /
