What promises to be a most import
ant move in the progress of the city,
was instituted Thursday night, when
number of the people of Richfield and
vicinity gathered at the home Of Mr..
and Mrs. l. w. Mcconnell to discuss
the formation of civic club to take up
social and other problems here.
The small town, off the main line OF
the railroad. is pretty much isolated SO
far as outside attractions go. Lectur-
ers, concert companies, circuses. big
political visitors, pass them by like the
proverbial white chip. 1t is up to the
towns to provide their own entertain
ment, and to work out their own saliva

own ideas, or pay an excessive price to
have them brought in from ouside.

Educati, ,onal Train
Short Line Special Will Visit Richfeld
December 21---Every Farmer on
Tract Should Be Present.

Southern Idaho will be visited by the
Farmers Industrial and Educational
Train, which left Salt Lake Monday
morning and after visiting points in
northern Utah, passed into this state
stopping at the different towns and cit
les for the purpose of demonstrating
the agricultural possibilities and dis
cussing agricultural methods The train
was formerly known as the "Burley
Special" but this year the Oregon
Short Line officials decided to change
the name in order to more fully express
it's object.
Owing to the favorable condition of
the weather the special left on its tour
month earlier than it did last year,
when its trip was pronounced success
and of great assistance to farmers in
the southern part of this state. A to-
tai of II days will be occupied in the
trip of the train and stops of one hour
will be made in most of the towns in
the itinerary, farmers gathering at the
time for the arrival of the special from
all sections of the country to view the
exhibits and hear the lectures.
D. E. Burley, general passenger
agent of the Oregon Short Line, well
known as leader in the development
of the west, will be in charge of the
special. The Agricultural college of
Ida no and the Utah Agricultural college
nave cooperate to equip the special
with the assistal ce OF the Oregon Short
Line, under whose ~ p.:es it is oper-
ated and made possible.

Irrigation Statistics
Interesting Figures Given Out in Re-
cent Bulletin of Irrigation Sta
tistics i'm Idaho

Valuable irrigation statistics for
Idaho are given out in a recent bulletin
issued by the census department per-
tanning to this subject.
According to the figures obtained in
that bulletin there are 80, 807 farms in
the entire state, which is an increase
over the II, All farms in 1900 of 76 per
cent. These farms contain 5.289. 6O4
acres of land as against 3, 2O4, 9O3 acres
in 1900 being an increase in acreage of
$40 per cent Improved farm land
however, increased from 1,413, 118
acres in 1900 to 2,778, 74O acres in 1910,
an increase of 96.6 per cent in the de-
cade.
The number of farms irrigated in
creased from 9,188 in 1900 to 16, ,439 in
1910, an increase of 78.9 per cent. The
acreage irrigated showed an increase of
1873 per cent. The acreage irrigated
showed an increase of 1851 per cent
from sos, 718 acres in 1900 to l, 1,43O, 943
acres in 1910. The acres capable of ir-
rigation in enterprises under way in
1910 was 1888. $50 acres as against
l, ,348, 500 acres in 1900, an increase of
772 per cent The total number of
acres included in irrigation projects in
1910 was 3,549,573 acres, there being
no comparative figures of the proceed
ing decade period Of all farms in the
state 53.4 per cent were irrigated in
1910 as against 52.6 per cent irrigated
in 1900.
Of the entire land area of the state
only 2. Z per cent is lands in irrigated
farms already acquired. This is big
increase, however, during the 10 years,
inasmuch as the rate at that time was
only IL per cent. OF all farm lands in
the state 26.1 per cent are irrigated
farm lands as against only 10 per cent
10 years previously.

Rushing the Road
Promise that Central Idaho Will
be Finished BY Feb. big
ger Things On Ahead.

The Tracklayers on the Central Idaho rail-
road have crossed the Big Wood river and are
making for the Malad bridge at the rate of
mile day, and expect to be across that stream
with the steel not later than January l.
The conc etc work is completed on the Malad
bridge and a night and day force is busy at work
putting the heavy timbers in place and it is not
expected that the work will be delayed at the
bridge as the double force of men are making
rapid progress.
At the rate they are now going, it will take
thirty days, after they cross the Malad, to
plete the tracklaying to Prairie City, which will
put them in there before February l.
The grading is all completed and outside of
the Maad bridge and exceedingly bad weather,
there is nothing that will stop the completion of
the road.
Engineer O. S. Osborne, chief of construction
has been promoted to engineer in charge of the
new railroad now building from Vale into Cen
trail Oregon, distance of 179 miller, which is one
of the heaviest pieces Of railroad work ever un-
dertaken in this country, there being one tunnel

This new stretch of road, which will tap the
Central Oregon country and is headed for Coos

division of the Central Idaho as construction en-
gineer, will be in charge of the remainder of the

CRAMER MUST SERVE
Supreme Court Destroys the Last
Hope of HALEY Banker.

Supreme Court Destroys the Last
Hope of HALEY Banker.
The last hope that was held out to
Leo Cramer, former vice president of
the Idaho State bank at Haley, and
who was convicted Of receiving funds
for deposit after the bank was insolv-
ent, of escaping serving the sentence of
six months to two years imposed upon
him by the court, was lost to him Tues
day, when the Supreme court denied
the application for rehearing of his
case.
Following the failure of the Idaho
State bank of Hailep, September l,
1910, charges were filed against Cramer
and Cashier Cults, charging them with
accepting deposit of $40 on the day
before tue bank closed its doors. 1t
was argued that the officials of the bank
knew at the time that the institution
was insolvent and that their action in
receiving the deposit under those con-
ditions was grounds for conviction.
Cramer's case dragged itself through
the courts for the past pear, and finally
resulted in his conviction. He was CIV
en- an iudeterrninate sentence of from
six months to two years, less time al
lowance for good behavior.
The action of the supreme court is

made up Of the number reported on
the supplemental schedules by regular
enumerators, together with an estimate
of the number of farms covered by the
enterprises which were reported by
special agents but not by the regular
enumerators. This estimate is based
upon the average acreage irrigated per
farm shown by the supplemental sched-
ules. According to the figures repre-
sented in the table, irrigation was Drac-
ticed on slightly more than one half of
the farms of the state in 1909. In
1899 the proportion of irrigated farms
was slightly lower, 52.6 per cent, while
in 1889 the proportion was 65.5 per
cent 1t is evident that between 1889
and 1899 the number of unirrigated
farms in the state increased more rap
idly than the number of irrigated farms
During the last decade. however, the
rate of increase in the number of irri-
gated farms has been approximately
the same as that in the number of un-
irrigated farms.
OF the % counties in the state IA re-
port as many as half their. farms irri-
gated, others report as many as 45
per cent, and ! other county reports

rigated. There are only five in which
less than Is per cent of the farms are
irrigated, and there is only
from which irrigation is not reported.
Tee last mentioned counties are all in
the northern part of tee state, whereas
the counties which have large portion
Of farms irrigated are in the southern
part. In counties the irrigated farms
form more than 80 per cent of the
