Sugar Factory
Assured.
SHOWING MOST SATISFACTORY.

That this territory is booked
for a Sugar Factory is now a
certainty. The showing made
through the several projects war
ANTS the Sugar people going
/ ahead with work Immediately.
At Oakley a large crowd were
present at the meeting and com
mittees were appointed to canvas
the territory to see what acreage
could be secured. The results
will be known later At Burley
similar meeting was held.
Rupert, Jerome, Marshfeld,
View and Hepburn were visited
by Messrs. Pingree and Smith,
and at all these points splendid
encouragement was received.
Messrs. Ecclcs and Jack visited
Twin Falls and Kimberly. The
Twin Falls people guaranteed
5000 acres. a 40 acre site for
factory and would also build a
railroad track to the site 70 mile
from the main line.
Kimberly and Hansen together
guaranteed 5000 acres and 20
for site. I he splendid show.
ing made by these places puts
Burley on the uneasy spot and
they get busy and with one eye
on the Minidoka project and the
other on Oakley and Marion
they guarantee 5000 acres and
in addition Mr.. Miller gives 40
acres on the River front for site
and guarantees 800 acres land
adjoining which he will prepare
for beets and then rent it to
Others tor raising them.
In view of the fact that our
neighboring town Burley got
busy and guaranteed the acreage
and threw open every encourage
ment to locate the factory at SO
near our door the people in this
end of the valley should feel so
keenly interested as to come in
for their Share of the responsib-
ility. in fact there seems little
responsibility attached to a thing
that offers SO good returns, that
we can swing it this way.
Now that the people have
shown what they are willing to
do, the Sugar people, through
Judge Rolapp. who stands next
to David Eccles IN these matters.
is responsible for already saying
that they have decided to spend
$9OO,OO0oo in Sugar Factory,
which will very likely be located
at Burley.
What else is there to do but see
them do it.

Feeds are divided into two
great ciasses-those that are
concerned with growth and are
used to build up muscular tissue.
and those that are used to pro-
duce heat and energy and are the
principal sources of animal fat.
the former are called nitrogenous
leeds, the latter carbohydrate
feeds. Examples of the former
are SPY bean meal, Gil meal, bran,
shorts, alfalfa, clover and other
legume hays, tankage, field peas,
cotton seed meal, etc. Carbohy-
drate feeds include corn, wheat
barley. rye, root crops, silage,
straws, etc. Oats are more near
" nltrosenous.
Animals differ widely as to the
kind of feeds they can use to best
advantage. Young and growing
animals need to build bone, mus
Gle and tissue, and therefore re-
qulre a rather high proportion of
digestible nitrogen. Fattening
animals have to great degree
accomplished the necessary grow
tn OF bone and flesh and are ready
to utlllze feed adapted to the
storage OF fat. CARBOHYDRATE
feeds are better suited to this
purpose. Dairy cows require feed
Tor maintenance OF the body fun
ctions and COR supplying the fat
and nitrogenous matter found in
the milk. In addition to grains
and pasture, hogs need supplem-
entary feeds such as charcoal.
wood ashes, tankage, etc.
In short, a feed must be fitted
or adapted to the, needs, OF the
animal. When a ration is so
fitted or adapted it is called
balanced" A man feeding corn

Oakley Makes
Good Growth
Past Summer.
NUMBER OF RESIDENCES BUILT
AND SIDEWALKS CONSTRUCTED

That every citizen of this COM
munity is we'll satisfied with
what is already here and has
hope in the future OF this growing
city is evidenced by the splendid
improvements being made in all
sections of the community. We
doubt very much if there is a town
in Idaho that can show as manv
substantial dwellings as Oakley.
AS a rule the residences are built
brick or rock and where wood is
used throughout they are well
constructed and neatly painted.
That people are building to stay
| is fOregone conclusion. No
speculator-ma axe shifts are beng
put up for quick rents and chilly
service in cold wea ther.
This is a most satisfactory con
dition and adds wonderfully to
the appearance of our town. 1t
is strong factor in inducing all
who come here to own their own
homes and become permanent
citizens, which is an essestial for
sure growth.
1t offers the best OF encourage
ment to become one of the lead
ing school towns and educat tlonal
centres of Southern Idaho. Such
surroundings are more conducive
to educators than a community
that is on the move.
During the past summer at
least a dozen new residences and
cottages were built IN this placeA
We call to mind the following,

number of changes and additions
and the construction OF the Short

creditable to the community.

streets of the town, in fact they
reach all our public places, our

residence lots to beRhad, both on
the New TownsIte and in the
older settled districts, the first

of electricity within six months
the latest, are advantages that
weigh down when a homeseeker
is looking for a suitable place to
live.
Another feature that appeals

We would like to have some one
read the poem on the dollar dream
in this paper. 1t illustrates very
nicely the difference in value of the
dollar that is kept at home in bust
ness and the dollar that is sent away.
There is nothing the Leon Boosters
could do just now that would help
so much as to induce the home peo-
pie to use home goods whenever it
is possible to do so. The dollar at
home passes from hand to hand and
does a dollars worth of business
with each exchange of owner, but
the dollar that leaves town is gone
forever.

There was a fire at the home of
Mrs. Anna Hale on north Church
street last Friday night about nine
o'clock, when a small barn was de-
stroyed by fire, which is supposed
to have been started from some
small boys shooting firecrackers in
the vicinity of the barn. The barn
was all ablaze on the inside before
it was discovered, and water being
very scarce in that neighborhood it
took some good work on the part of
those who first reached the scene
to prevent the barn of Matt Pullen
just across the alley from catching
fire. Mrs. Hale had couple of
stoves and other articles stored in
the barn., which is quiet loss to
her. nv
