GOOD DRY LAND GRAIN.
Pioneer Dry Farmer Secures Good
Yield of Wheat and Oats.

John Eliason, who pleads guilty
TO a residence of twenty six years
on lower Rock creek, is securing
good returns from his dry land this
year. He was one OF the first 10
take up dry farming, and has q
habit Of doing things well. and for
this reason may probably do a lit
tie better than the average man.
From field of spring Sonora, on
spring plowing, he has just finished
thrt shing p bushels per acre. And
FROM land which has grown wheat
for tha past four years in success
sion, he threshed between II and
5 bushels.
Henry Eliason. his son, was the
first, or among the first, to grow
oats without irrigation. He has had
COOL results for the past three years
and will continue to grow them for
feed. His oats this year made %
bushels per acre, and the quality is
better than those grown in the Mis-
sissippi basin, weighing ecnsidera-
bly, above the standard. His sucreSs
has been an encouragement TO 9TH
ars. and this year there are quite a
number of small fields of oats on
the dry farms.

PROM NENT CITIZEN
SUDDENLY CALLED.
charley Anderson, Seized With Peri
tonitis Friday Afternoon, Dies
Early Sunday Morning,

Charley Anderson, one of the
most prominent farmers of this To-
can't" and a former business man
or American Falls, was attacked
by deadly peritonitis Friday after
noon about 4:30, and passed away
ABOUT $3.50 Sunday morning. Few
knew of his illness until his death
I was announced. He was in American
Fails the first of the week, and gave
no sign of his coming illness. DR..
Moth was called Friday night about
midnight, and recognizing the ser
lousness of the case, had Mr.. An
defson brought to his home Satur-
day and was intending to take him
TO the hospital at Pocatello on No.
Sunday morning, but when the
train arrived death was already re-
ileving the sufferer. A post mortem
showed that death was certain from
the moment of the attack.
rev men in any community have
the confidence of their fellowman
TO as great degree as Mr.. Ander-
son enjoyed in this community. He
was regarded as being scrupulously
honest and upright in all his deal
lngs, fair and broadminded, and a
moral man of the highest order. He
came to American Falls about four
and half years ago, and with his
brothers and Carl Jonson did a gen.
eral contracting business under the
name of Anderson & Company. A
laree number of the buildings Of
American Falls were erected by this
firm. At a later date he withdrew
from the firm and founded theRiv-
erside Lumber Company, which he
conducted for about a year. and then
Sold to the Iowa Lumber company.
At that time he removed to his
iarm, about two miles from town,
where he has resided for the past
two years. He was rapidly getting
his land in condition to make life
less strenuous, but during the past
year had worked very hard, which
may possibly have fastened his at
tack. The primary cause of death
was structure resulting from an op-
GRAFTON, number of years ago. for
appendicitis.
Mr.. Anderson would have been 81
years of age in January. He was
born in Sweden, where his parents
stlll reside, and came to the United I
states twelve years ago, locating in .
Pueblo. From there he came here. 4
He leaves wife, Augusta Teresia .
Anderson, two infant children, three F..
brothers and a cousin in this place I
TO mourn his loss. His brothers, OF +
to, Harvey and Andrew, came here
with him. Otto and Andrew are far
ners, and Harvey is a contractor
.sSw located at Portland.
Fneral services, conducted by Rev
Tweed, OF the Presbyterian church,
oi which faith the deceased was a
deyout member, were held Tuesday
afternoon. from the Presbyter
ian church. The funeral was largely
showing the respect in
which the deceased was held. In
terment was had in Falls View GEM
etery. The family greatly appreciate
the kindness shown by the many
friends of Mr.. Anderson, in their
iour of trouble. Mrs. Anderson will
re turn to her former home ms We

,djusted

ONEIDA's LAND VALUES
Irrigated Lands Assessed From $50
to SfO0--Dry Farm Lands From
SO to $50 per Acre.

During the hearing OF the asses
sOrs at Boise this week. before tbs
state board Of equalization, Deputy
Assessor ID. r. Nelson of Oneida
county, said that in this county a
total Of 326,00 acres of land was
assessed, valuations being fixed as
follows: $4,000 acres of irrigated
land, at from $50 to 500 per acre
$4,000 acres dry land at from Sc
TO $40 per acre; 14S,000 acres of
pasture land at from 81 to per
acre. Much of the dry farm land he
said was from ten to forty miles
from railroad, and the farmers in
some places had to haul water and
/ hay to these farms. In making as
sessments Mr.. Nelson said that as
Tar as possible each piece of land
had been examined, and he felt that
all property in the county had been
assessed at full cash value. Deeds,
ne said, were not a safe guide to
the value of land for the reason that
in most cases in hiscounty personal
property entered into the deal and
did not appear in the record of
transfer. This personal property con-
sisted of growing crops, livestock,
machinery, etc.
Assessor Hull said he checked the
work of his deputies to see to it
that all kept their assessments up
to fun cash value. All classes of
property, he thought, had been as
sessed 100 cents on the dollar. The
banks of the county were assess
ed at 20 per cent Of the value of
their stock, but no exemptions were
allowed. He said that there were
practically no cash sales of real es-
tate in his county-that all proper
ty was transferred on long time con-
tracts at low rates of interest
Assessor Hull joined in a memo
rial TO the state board, with nearly
all OF the assessors, that such chan
ges as might be made. be made to
apply to all classes of property in
each county, excepting livestock and
banking institutions.
Mr.. Hull, when en- route to Boise,
pointed out some inequities the for
mer assessor let get by him. In a
part of the American Falls townsite
which is remote from either busi-
ness or residence sections. wholly
unimproved lots were assessed on a
basis of 1900 per aecr. Mr.. Hull
could find no such value in them
and they were sold by the townsite
owners on a basis of less than one
tenth OF the valuation given them by.
the assessor, and on payments at
that.

GRAIN EXHIBITS
ARE VERY FINE
The Number, However, Not
Up to Expectations.
The Exhibit Being Collected By
the Arthur W. Davis Com
pany Shows Great
Possibilities.

Ii the private exhibit of grain be-
ing collected by the Arthur w. Da-
Wis Company could be put on display
in some eastern center it would do
great deal of good They are Sc
curing exhibits of dry farm grain
that would do credit to any irriga-
ted country. which bear their own
testimony of fertility of soil and
other favorable conditions. IL the
exhibit for Farmers Day is equally
good and large enough to permit of
oeing divided and sent east it will
prove the best immigration agent

is to be ho1ed that farmers general
ly Will not conclude that the exhibit
VIII be good one anyway. and
for this reason it will be unnecessa-
~ Tor them 10 contribute to it. If
this should prove to be the case the
COLLECTIONS secured will not be large
enough to cover the expositious
at which this section should be rep
resented. 1t VIII be a great mis-
take if a good exhibit is not sent to
half a dozen eastern centers this fall
and winter. The Davis collection
Is not as large nor representative
as it should be. because it will be
a permanent advertisement of our
resources and will be available at a
time when prospective settlers and
investors can not drive out into the
country and see the grain in the
fields. 1t should include samples all
the way from Springfield to Landing
from the Arbon valley and from the
great section north and west. be-
cause no particular locality will suit
everyone, and each community will
receive benefits in proportion to the
number and quality of the exhibits
1t provides. Entries for the cash
prizes they are offering will close

that all exhibits will be in before
that time
