The Richfield recorder. (Richfield, Idaho) 1909-1931, 1911-10-19

That the Richfield Tract is one of the
best, if not really the best irrigated
section in Idaho, is becoming a widely
known fact.
The displays that were sent from
here last year, to different fairs over
the United States, attracted world
wide attention, but what was then con-
sidered the best, could not in any way
compare with what was raised here
this year. as the exhibit that was on
display in this city on the 3Oth. day of
Sestember could testify, and it has
been remarked by many people, who
have attended fairs in other parts of
this state, and fairs in other states,
that there was not a display of
products to be seen, that could com
pare with the Richfeld show.
The farmers on the Richfield tract,
are thrifty go ahead people, who are
not always hunting something to kick
about, and who take time by the
forelock, and do not have to depend on
someone else to do for them, but if
they see anything that needs doing,
they do it themselves.
Every settler on the track realizes
that there is a great future in store for
this section. and it has heen demon

dition to her exhibit will have the
Idaho Potato Day; which should give
the state more valuable advertising
than any other feature
"The potatoes win be the big feature
Of the Idaho exhibit, but in addition to
that there win be a grain exhibit
worthy Of note. A new idea in the
displaying of the grain exhibit will pro-
baby be employed The plan is to
build a sort of kiosk of grains, the
pillars to be glass tubes filled with diff
lerent varieties of grain laid in layers,
the roof to be either gilt or thatched
with stalks Of the grain and the whole
to be surmounted with a sheaf of the
best grain obtainabe in the state.
Around the base of the kiosk will
be grouped the exhibits of the wonder
ful grains produced in this state, and
inside the kiosk an hour glass filled
with choice barley. A device is being
perfected for turning the glass which

believe this will serve to attract at

the hour glass a chandelier with the
light screened by some arrangement of

ceiling Of the kiosk.
Mr. Mahoney, who is collecting much
Of The Idaho exhibit has made arrange
ments with number of exhibitors to
ship their products direct from Boise
TO Chicago, and he expects to send at
least one ear Of exhibits out of Boise
October 20. The potatoes for the
Idaho Potato Day will probably be
shipped shortly after that. Mr.
Mahoney says he has made arrange
ments for cold storage for the exhibits
when they arrive in Chicago, and that
in case they get there a few days be-
fore they are needed there will be no
difficulty in preserving them. The
Chicago show opens November lS.

Idaho Potato Day
Everybody in Chicago Will lat Idaho
POtatos and Carry Them Away
as Souvenirs at Land Show

Idaho Potato Day at the big Chicago
Land Show will be one of the big
events on the card. Already almost a
train load of fine potatoes from the
Gem State have been procured and
four cars have been shipped.
Plans are being made now for the
use of Idaho spuds exclusively in all
Chicago hotels and restaurants on
that day, while all dining cars running
into and out of Chicago that day will
serve the delectabe Idaho Potato.
In the Land Show Spuds viii be
given away as souvenirs to the Wis
itors; Idaho spuds win be talked Of
that day; will be exhibited and the
adaptability of the soil for their grow
ing disclosed.
Not only at the Chicago Land Show,
but at New York City, Philadelphia
Pittsburg and Kansas City, have the
Kuhn Bros, aided by the Union Pacific
railway, purchased space Tor the ex-
hibition of Idaho products, according
TO Thomas F. Mahoney, the represent
ative of the Chicago land show, who is
gathering together the Idaho exhit for
that show Mr. Mahoney says that
these cities, and also at Chicago, the
Kuhns and the railway company have
arranged for permanent exhibits from
Idaho.
"These exhibits, says Mr.. Nalo

show, which viii be split up when the
show is over and divided among the
states mentioned. The exhibit from
Chicago will be made to go IS far as
possible, and it is thought that in case
there is need for more exhibits to FIJI

can be procured later on.

Controversy Lasting for Years

Controversy Lasting for Years
Settled
A controversy that has lasted for
years, that has been dragged through
the courts, through the legislature, and
finally to Washington, D. c., where it
was heard by the department of the
interior, the forestry department and
even when so far as President William
H. Taft, is at last settled with Idaho
as the victor for this state is to acquire
title to its birthright-40O 900 acres of
land worth millions of dollars now in
cluded within the boundaries Of fores
reserves, but for which lieu selections
are to be granted. The state through
its land board and the federal govern
ment through agents OF the forestry
bureau, are authorized to start i'm
mediately to locate the unsurveyed
land, or sections 16 and 36 reserved in
every township in the state through
the admission act, for the benefit Of
the public schools.
The task OF finding the land, classi-
flying and making lieu selections Of
equal value, viii occupy at least a yea
if not longer. At meeting Of the
state land board held this week,
representatives of the forestry depart
ment with authority 20 act, met the
state agents and the plans for making
the transfer were gone into and
arranged.
1t was decided the plats and charts
in the possession OF the srate should
first be carefully checked and the work
of cruising the land mapped out. With
the opening Of early spring crews Of
selectors VIII be sent into the forest
reserves weere they will ascertain the
location and value of the land grade it
as to weather it is forest range or

other section of the state keeping in
mind that so near as possible the leu
lands shall be collection in as large
a block as possible.

upon that it viii be possible to locate

A desperate battle has been rag
ing all day across the river from
this city, between the insurrectos
and the federal forces, both sides
losing heavily. General Madero
claims to have held back his
men until after the federal SOL
diers had opened fire on them,
when his men became uncontTol-
able, whereupon Madero gave
his consent to attack the forces
of General Navarro,
The Diaz forces are barricaded
in the old church which is slowly
but surely being battered away.
The. entire rebel army broke
camp about four O'Clock this
morning, just after having been
fired upon by the federal sol
diers Under General Navarro in
charge Of Juarez. The arrival Of

three Dipccs of artillery only add
ed fuel to the flames.

american with the insurrectos,
came to Ell. Paso for. food this

recto loss as about one hundred

while the federal losses were
probably double that number.

Saturday insinuates that the New
Mexico constitution may be
worked over" before adoption.
1t says:
At the last session Of congress,
Arizona and New Mexico were
kept out Of the union because the
constitution of Arizona was too
radical.
This session, they are threaten
ed with being excluded because
the constitution of New Mexico
is too conservative.
That's all. 1t tells pretty much
the whole story of what has hap
pened to congress and to nation
al sentiment.
Il. Five months ago Arizona stood
for dangerous radicalism because
its constitution was too easy of
amendment.
. Today New Mexico is in wrong
because it's constitution can't be
amended at all,
The lobbyists from the two
southwestern territories simply,
throng Washington this spring.
There are two groups of them
from each state, conservatives
and radicals. The Arizona con-
servatives like the New Mexico
constitution first rate; the Ariz-
ona radicals are just pleased to
death with the Arizona document.
Yon can start a row inside the
delegation from either state by
pointing finger atit,, and it's still
easier to start trouble between
the two states. ,"~e
The house committee on terri
tories is ana]yzing the New Mex
leo constitution just now, and it
is sized up for about the most
reactionary instrument that ever
professed to be a written consti-
tuition. .e'--
Here is what the house COM
mittee is going to do: .s. =.
1t will amend the New Mexi-
co constitution by inserting a new
and workable plan to amend the
nstitution, by a simply imajori-
ty Of the legislature, ratified by

WITNESSES BEFORE JURY

ALBANY, n. Y. March 1O.-The state
continued its efforts today to prove
that Mrs. Edith Melber. January last,
killed her five-year-old son George by
giving him carbolic acid in a lonely
swamp in the outskirts of Albany. Six
witnesses were sworn yesterday, and
District Attorney Sanford expected to-

sion made by Mrs. Melber to the

in that city.a
Long before the hour fixed for the
opening of court there was crowd
about the entrance to the city hall
eager for a glimpse Of the accused.
Mrs. Melber exhibits little concern in
