This office has just received the
regular biennial report from the Of

ricultural possibilities and all other
information desired regarding this
great state. In his first article For
word he says:
Charlotte Bronte in one of her
most popular works says that there
is a CLEAN of truth in the widest
fable. From this point of view the
dream of Ponce de Leon is not so
airy and unsubstantial as it may
first seem. His thought was that
somewhere in the world there was
fountain of eternal youth, in
which the sons and daughters Of
men might plunge and, coming forth
from its limpid waters. might live
forever. No such dream has ever
been realized, nor will it ever be- But
here on earth, are choice spots
where a large span can be added to
the three score years and ten ordin-
arily allotted to the human race.
One such choice perhaps the
most choice of any in the United

environment of encircling hills, with
her clear. sparkling water that gush-

TWIN FALLS DRAGGING ROADS
Good Roads to BE Aided BY Auto
Club.

Practical road work to show the eff
iciency and economy of the King
road drag has been started by the
Twin Falls county Automobile club,
which at its last regular meeting
made cash appropriation of $100
to be used in dragging a section of
road in the outskirts of Twin Falls
The good roads committee of the
club has asked permission of the city
council to assume charge of this par
ticular piece of road, and the atten-
tion of the farmers drawn to it so
their interest in the work will be
aroused
After the efficiency of the King
road drag has been demonstrated, a
more pretentious effort will be made
and road built across the county
something after the Iowa river-to
river road plan. A similar line of
work will be taken up by the other
automobile clubs comprising the Ida
no State Automobile association, and
a system of good roads over the en-
tire state will thus be secured.
The state association now consists
of Boise, Twin Falls, Montpelier, Ida
ha Falls and Gooding. The clubs al
Pocatello. Ashton, Rexburg, Black
foot, Rigby, Weiser, St. Anthony and
Mountain Home are expected to af.
filiate with the state association this
month.=Twin Falls News.

Socialists Resolve.

On this his natal day, we render
our sincere tribute to the memory
Of the immortal Lincoln.
But while voicing our sentiments
of gratful remembrance, we would
be sadly lacking in our civic duty
did we not strive to emulate the ex-
ample Of that great Emancipator In
exposing and denouncing wrong and
injustice
AS we look about us we perceive
many forces at work in our social
organization which defeat the real
ization OF that glorious ideal: "A
government Of the people, for the
people and by the people" Among
these forces none are. perhaps. more
conspicuous. more powerful more
injurious than the usurpation Of the
courts.
At this time we, therefore. desire
to deal with a celebrated case.
Now. therefore
WHEREAS. The United States
courts have been employed for about
four years in a deliberate attempt to

corrupt and Illegal practices OF diff

TAFT ON RECIPROCITY
Would Unite Interests of Two Coun-
trie sand Cause Farmers on the
Border No Loss.

In his address at Columbus, Ohio,
last Friday. President Taft made
strong plea for the proposed reciproc-
ity plan. He declared that the inn
preston that reciprocity with the
Dominion would injure the farmer
was without foundation and by sta
tistics he sought to lend actual proof
to his assertions.
Mr. Taft declared without reserva-
tion that the reciprocal agreement
with Canada would be a benefit rath-
er than a detriment to the agricul-
t raj industries Of this country
AS for himself, the president said
he felt that the undoubted general
benefit of the pending agreement
would entirely vindicate those who
are responsible for it. The greatest
reason for the adoption of the agree
ment, he argues, is the fact that it
will unite two countries with kindred
people and lying together across a
wide continent in commercial and
cial union to the great advantage Of
both.
such a result" added the presi-
dent. docs not need to be justified by
nice balancing with pecuniary
profit to each"
Mr.. Taft's address was listened to
apparently with the deepest interest,
and he was warmly applauded at in
tervals. The president, in closing,
said:
LET the agreement be adopted and
go into operation and in six months
the farmers on the border who now
have fears will rejoice in this great
step towards closer business and So
cial relations with our neighbors. The
whole country. farmer. manufacturer
railroad companies. middle men
warehouse men. all will be the gain
er."

SYSTEM TO BE SOLD
Judge Walters Sets Date For Final
Adjudication of Business for
March 9TH.

During the past week Judge Wal
ters decided to return to the city on
march 7th, when the business Of
the defunct Great Western Beet Su-
gar company would be given his en-
tire attention and a sale decided up
on. This is the outgrowth of efforts
on the part of the Elmore Irrigation
company to have the system sold out
right for which they made an appli-
cation.
In the meantime the company will
proceed along lines which will result
in an early permanent segregation
of this tract. They will appear before
the state land board within a week
and ask for a temporary segregation
OF 10000 acres. Owing to the many
delays occasioned by Engineer Adair
this matter has been postponed sew
eral times It was intended to make
application last month. But the Of
ficers of the company are very GER
tain that before another week appli-
cation will be made and the tempor-
ary segregation granted.
Nearly everything is signed up
with the company in the way of es-
crow agreements, relinquishments
receivers certificates. etc. The COM
pany has the business well in hand
and no great delay is anticipated now
in bringing this segregation to a fl
nal and satisfactory completion.
A little boosting at this time fol-
the only company that has accom-
plished results in this city may be
good thing for the country and
greatly assist the company.

My Dear Young Friends
The excessive use of intoxicating
liquor is the cause Of a great deal
of the poverty, degradation. and
crime of the world, and one who abb
stains from the use of such liquor
avoids a dangerous temptation Abb
raham Lincoln howed that he be-
lieved this in writing out for his
boy friends the pledge of total ab-
stinence so often quoted. Each per-
son must determine for himself the
course he will take in reference to
his tastes and appetites; but thoes
who exercise the self-restraint to
avoid altogether the temptation Of
alcoholic liquor are on the safe and
wiser side.
