New Flash Instrument.

Mr.. Smith, the Photographer,
has added New Flash Light
Device to his Gallery that marks
novel yet needed addition to
his already splendidly equipped
Gallery.
This new device is so construct.
ed that the fumes OF smoke as
common under the old method is
unknown, being held intact and
carried out Of doors for escape,
and is an Improvement over the
sky-light method, as children es-
pecially can be photographed
with excellent results in a NOM
ents time.
MIR. Smith can take pictures in
any ordinary home and at night
and first class products are as
sured under this improved meth
Cd of exposure.
If children can only be caught
in the right position a moment
he is sure of his picture as the
exposure is necessary no longer
than the duration of the flash.
The public will no doubt see
photographer Smith doing some
work that heretofore required
much more elaborate instrum-
ents to duplicate.
His efforts of Improvement are
worthy the support of all his
patrons.

picked up the Haley Times and
were scanning its pages when
suddenly their faces grew pale
and their disappearance soon
noted. The owner of the Hall
picked up the paper to see what
had caused their taking leave
and saw on the page where they
were reading Warning from
Joe Jones of Pocatello which told
its own story:
HALEY was notified and hunt.

Cassia County
Fair Makes
Good.
ALL DIVISIONS WELL
REPRESENTED.

The first two days of the Fair
opened a little slower than exp
ected, but was made upin attend
ance the three succeeding days
with results most satisfactory to
the Association.
The receipts exceeded those Of
last year and many other marked
improvements very noticeable.
The Races were good and the
Balloon Ascension came off ac-
cordingly to schedule except one
day. which was unavoidable due
to wind.
The Fruit, Grains, Vegetables
and Art were as much as could
be expected from a much larger
population than that surround
ing US and could be displayed
with credit if sent to the State
Fair.
Some good Livestock wert
shown, which point out the
class of animals that are being
raised in this County and what
may be looked for in the future.
The people is due much credit
for the interest taken in these
public affairs and they ought to
be encouraged in all sections
where there is sufficient populat
ion to warrant them. They put
us on the map.

Settlers form
Protective
Association.
ORGANIZE TO FIGHT ENCROACH-
MENTS OF ALL CAREY Act
COMPANIES.
HOLD CONVENTION OCT. 16.
FEDERATION PLANS TO EMBRACE
EVERY PRoJEcT-WIELDs
GREAT POWER.

Settlers on Carey Act projects
propose to protect themselves,
They have organized what is to
be known as the Farmers Carev
Act association, with w. T. Staff
ord of Gooding, president, and
Charles Alexander of Jerome,
secretary.
This association has now a
membership, it is said, OF 12 900
members and embraces sellers on
the Gooding, King Hill, Twin
Falls, North Side first segregat-
ion). Dietrich, Rich6eld, Salmon
River, Jerome and Shoe String
projects. 1t is the intention to
take all other Carey act projects
into the association. The object
OF the association is to protect
the settlers from the encroach-
ments of the irrigation compan-
les, and make it easier for the
members to have theirgrievances
presented to the land board, and
to the courts, when necessary.
1t is to be really a federation of
all the Carey act projects IN the
southern part of the State and
promises to WELD tremendous
Influence in many ways.
This association will make it's
first real show strength at Jerome
October 18th. when a convention
will be held of representatives
from all the projects included in
the fe Grafton, and a line of act
ion will be agreed upon.
Charges Persecution.
| Mr.. Stafford. who is not onlv
the president of the new federat-
ION, but is also attorney for many
of the settlers, was in the city
yesterday, and appeared before
the land board. He complained
that some of the irrigation com.
panies were harrassing the sett.
lers in a number of ways, even to
the extent of sueing them for
payment for water never deliv.
cred.
He urged the land board to pay
a visit to the territory and con.
suit the settlers themselves in re.
gard to these things. This the
board agreed to do, and the visit
in all probability will be made
at the time of the Lincoln coun.
ty fair.

Oakley's First
Circus.
A DECIDED SUCCESS.
FAIRLY WELL ATTENDED.

COLE & ROGERS Show came
to town last Tuesday. None
thought such a crowd of people
could be gathered here.
Some people seemed well salts
fed while others Ofcourse kicked.
Too many individuals seem to
think that the way to appear
wise is to find fault with every.
thing that transpires in our own
community. While if it happened
in Twin Falls, Ogden or Salt
Lake it would be the best they
had ever seen.
The Show was small but q
fairly good representation of g
circus.

Splendid Rain
Visits this
Section.
Does MUCH FOR DRY LAND
FARMERS.

On Saturday and Sunday last
an excellent rain storm visited
this Section, doing a lot OF good
to everybody, farmers and stock
men in particular.
Several days ago there were
reported heavy storms south
east OF here, but no signs at this
point. Providence favored us
with soaker Saturday and con-
tlnued Sunday, SO that now the
dustis settled. Tuesday theclouds
had cleared away with no cold
or frosty weather and this
Valley is again enjoying ideal
weather.
Trees and vegetation are greer
and every thing looks fine. Oak
ley has had very little frost
much less than any of her neigh
bors and nothing is damaged
vet.
This indicates a healthful con.
dition and a desirable place tc
live.

Kuhn's Win
Out after Long
Wait.
PUMPING PLANT GOES THROUGH

For a long time the Kuhn int
crest have had before the Land
Board an application to furnish
water on the north side Of Miner
above the Gravity Canal for
5000 per acre which has caused
no little amount of discussion by
the members of the Land Board
1t was finally decided on the 29th
inst. Governor Hawley and Aud
itor Taylor voting against the
proposition, while McDougall,
Clifford and Shepherd voted to
allow the Kuhn People to 60
ahead.
The Pumping plant will be in
stalled at once and water out in
spring of 1912, or else the con
tract will not permit its coming
out till spring of 1913.
This insures lots of work agar
in this Section and considerable
money spent.

State Lands in Forest
Reserves may be exchanged

Some time ago Associate For
ester, A. F. Potter, made a ruling
that Sec. 16 and 36 located
IN Forest Reserves, could be
exchanged for other lands by the
State, but in a recent letter to the
Land Board he advises them that
his ruling still holds good except
in cases where these sections have
been surveyed and title vested in
the State in which case they
could not be transferred.

Advantages of Fall Flowing.

There is sufficient advantage
in fall blowing to warrant a
greater amount Of it than is done
by the average Palouse farmer.
The practice on the College farm
for several years has been to fall
plow all ofthe land to be planted
to crops the following spring if
possible to doso. There has been
times however; when for lack OF
horses, and work pressing. that
it was impossible to get all of the
land fall plowed. The crop IN
such instances never failed to
show the results. Fall blowing
always produces better crops,
The difference is SO great that the
line where spring and tall plow-
ing comes together is well mark
ed, and can easily be followed
with the eye from a distance by
the difference in the appearance
of the grain. Grain on the fall
blowing is, if properly handled,
free from wild oats. Fall blowing
can be worked, and the ready to
seed in the spring, by the time the
land that has been left for spring
blowing is dry enough to stir,
consequently earlier seeding can
be done. Flowing can be done as
late as 10th December, and there
are times when even later in the
month, even till Christmas.
The land intended for summer
fall should be fall plowed, thus
admitting a greater amount of
moisture into the sub b-soil. Sum-
mer tallOw so handled can be rid
of the wild oats, and a better
mulch or seed bed maintained.
Crops depend upon the seed bed
or the condition of the soil, if in
poorcondition poorcrop should
be expected, and a good seed bed
all other conditions being equal,
produce enough extra to pay for
the handling of the entire crop.
Fall blowing and better cultiv-
alton then gives us better crops.
