sHEEPMEN MUST KEEP 0UT OF
FOREST RESERVE

The federal government scoreC
a signal victory over the sheepmen
of Idaho. when a settlement was
effected in the United States dis
ilicl court for this division Of three
years involving illegal grazing on
federal forrest reserves. By agree
ment the principal defndant was
fined a considerable sum and his
Two hearders s25 each. The com
promise settlement is Aet to re-
ceive the official sanction Of the
department of justice at Washing
ton. but it is believed this will be
secured when. the facts in the case
are made known
During June of last year Edward
Newman, one of the leading sheep
men of this section of the state, and
his two herders. Sam Seifert and
William Wallace, drove four bands
of sheep on the Portneuf division
of the Pocalello forest reserve in
defiance of The authority of the To-
cal forest officials. and proposed to
range them there for the summer.
The sheep, however wr removed
after the herders had been arrested
and bound over to the federal
court.
By the terms of the agreement
Newman was assessed si75 for the
value of the feed consumed by his
fIocks on the reserve. and 500 pun
itiVe damages. Under the decision
Of the United Siaes supreme court
announced Monday. unfolding the
constitutionality of the forest SER
vice regulations, the three defend
ants were fined an additional s25
each and costs.
The case is one which has at
tracted wide attention and aroused
geep interest among stockmen in
this state. and its settlement in
the manner indicated probably will
end the final case in international

GOOD BASIS FOR MANUFAC-
TURING INDUSTRIES

The water power Of the Snake
river IS estimated by government
engineers at over one million horse
power. This III time can be made
available for the use Of man in the
form Of electricity The amount
Of hydr0-eiectric power already de-
yeloped, Is estimated at seventy
thousand morse power. or one-fif-
Ieenth OF the total estimate. The
source Of power being inexhausi-
able and perpetual the cost Of
installing power plants constitutes
by far the main expenditure In the
development Of this wonderful as
set of wealth, for the cost Of main
tenence is comparatively light. This
power will no doubt be developed
as fast as industrial conditions will
warrant. Just notice now the bear
ing Of this power proposition on
real estate investments ia the
Snake river country And bear in
mind that by the Snake river is
meant the river Itself and all its
tributaries. Cheap electric power
is destined TO bring into being in
Vulnerable manufacturing indus
tries that will utilize the raw pro-
ducts Of the field, the range, the
forest and the mine. Manufac-
turing Industries necessarily create
a dense population. Irrigation alone
will not do that. Then what can
be expected when the two factors
work together for the creation Of
resultant product? But irrigation
and cheap electric power supple
ment each other in many ways. The
possibilities Of irrigation are prac-
tically limitless when cheap power
Is available to transform the raw
materials OF the field into valuable
manufactured products that can be
shipped long distances without
prohibiiive freight charges. Cheap
electric power makes profitable the
of mines that otherwise
would be Improbable. and a min
ing population consumes quantities
Of food products from the nearest
farms. Then again. there are mill
lions Of acres Of fertile lands that
would become very valuable for dry
farming IN connection with small
irrigated tracts where water IS
from below by this same.
cheap electric power. The person
who invests in Idaho real estate
has not only a roseate present TO
bank on but a future outlook that
can scarcely be duplicated any
where.

[ET Us HOPE
THIS IS TRUE
o. S. l.. DIVISION POINTS 10 BIZ
ESTABLISHED AT SHO-
sHONE AND Mt. HOME

That Glenns Ferry and Hunting
ton are to be abandoned as division
points on the Oregon Short Line
and that Ontario is to be the main
division point west Of Nampa, while
Mountain Home and Sh0shOne will
be the two division points between
the Junction City and Pocatello, is
the news brought by ID. d. Moseley,
who has just returned from far
eastern trip with car of thorough
bred cattle. While on the Short
Line Mir. Moseley heard the gossip
OF the change in division points
and found that it was made nee
essary because of the action of the
Interstate commerce commission in
ruling that railroad crews shall not
work over 16 hours. With the
heavy trains the long runs between
divisions cannot be made in the
time prescribed, states Mr.. Nose
ley, and freight trains loaded with
livestock and perishable goods are
obliged to take siding when their
time is up and remain there until
fresh crews from the nearest di-
vision point can come to relieve
them, thus causing long delays,
extra expense and Inconvenience,
which must be remedied and which
is to be done by establishing the
extra division point at Shoshone
and dividing up the distance so
that the run can be made by the
big freighters in the time allowed
by law.
Mr. MoseIey has been two weeks
on the road from Wite Water, Wis,
where he purchased SO head of
thoroughbred Holstein and Guern-
sey cattle and he experienced al
strenuous trip across the country,
arriving here last night tired and
worn out from the trip. His worst
experience was on the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul, he states.
it having required four days for
ms train on that road to travel a
distance OF 5W miles. while the
freighter stopped at every small
place on the line and switched,
sometimes remaining for four hours
at q time. He states that no through
freight trains are operated by that
road westward and he would ad-
wise shippers Of stock not to at /
tempt to come over it.-Capital

goes to Salt Lake next week to
Investigate a patent screen which

description. and in consequence
the water Is shut off to a certain
extent. The patent Of the Utah
man, as l understand il, Is a sort
of revolving screen which. while
letting the leaves and other ma
terial 60 through. Is such that the
fish are kept out.
This saving Of the fish is the
most serious problem which con-
fronts the fish and game depart
ment at this time. The stale pays

and as many are lost every year by
the irrigating bitches as are placed
in the streams. The amount Of
money which the screens for the
irrigation bitches would cost would
be more than paid back every year
by the fish that would be saved to
the state.
~The loss Is particularly heavy
in Fremont and surrounding coun-I
ties and countless thousands Of fine

open fields as a result of the irri-
CATION. 1t is impossible to keep
the fish out Of the bitches as con-

is a success we will have to wait
longer until The problem can be

BIG REDUCTION IN
 TRAVELLING TIME

New Orleans, December 4.-TwentN- five hours have been cut off of the pas senger time between New Orleans and San Francisco in the schedule of the Sunset Limited" the new de luxe train Of the Southern Pacific railroad, which left New Orleans at noon today on it's initial westbound trip. This is the first extra fare, all-steel train ever operated out of New Orleans and marks the inauguration of a fast coast to coast service for the handling of customers who will be attracted to the Pacific coast during the next four years by the expositions at San Francisco and San Diego.
 This new service is a direct result of the movement inaugurated by several civic and commercial or ganizations of southern cities to di- vert exposition travel through the south. It Is announced that liberal stopovers at points in the south will be granted by the Southern Pacific and all connecting lines to the east in com rliance with the resolutions adopted at the all-south congress held in Memphis several weeks ago.

touches on few players that would give some one good run on any team in the south. with the possible exception of Vanderbilt.
 The first game was played with the University of Georgia. The team was then composed mostly of scrub players. The majority of the present team had not entered school and the Preds were easily defeated by the Georgians. The next game was played with the Disque high school of Gadsden. In this game the team had not reached its stride and was rot in the best of condition. They de- feated the Gadsden boys 29 to 0. In the next game, played against the Birming- ham Medical college, the Preds literally buried the doctors in scores, running up a total of 53 points to their nothing.
 Sylacauga was the next offering, com ing here with an unbeaten team and with championship aspirations. lemon was handed to them with the score of 56 to on it.
 Riverside Military academy came to Anniston and were beaten II to 0.
 The next game was played with the AL bertville team for the state champion ship outside of the s. I. A. A. The Hannonites were beaten by a. score of , to on fluke of the worst kind.
 Anniston met their old rivals, Jackson vile, in the next game. They reaped a sweet revenge by defeating them on their home grounds IS to 0.
 The last game was played here Thurs day, when the A. P. c. and Owenton, played a to game.
 Of all the teams that the Preds have met there has not been a center that can put up the game that Archibald can, or a halfback as an all around player as Boykin, nor pair of ends equal to Larry Brown and Campbell.
 The standing of the Non-SOutheastern Intercollegiate Athletic association teams of tti state is as follows:
 Albertvile.
 Alabama Presbyterian college and Ma ron.
 Owenton
 Southern university.
 Mobile Military institute.
 Jacksonville.
 Birmingham Medical college.
 Albertvlle has clear claim to the championship They have defeated every team they have met this year.
 The reason that Anniston is placed above Owenton is because Albertville de- feated them oy score something like 39 to O, while they only beat the Preds by points. Though Owenton tied the college here, it is generally admitted that the preds olitplayed them, but the com parison of the Albertville score is enough to decide the relative standing.
 Marion institute and the Alabama Pres byterian college were defeated by Albert vile by the same score of five points and as they did not meet, there is no way to decide the standing but to give them equal footing.
