Monday evening a number of the
friends of DR.. and Nus Moth gath
cred at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Roberts and from there went to-
gether to the Moth home and de-
mar ded admittance in the name of
the law. The doctor sent his wife
to the door and he followed at a
safe distance behind Bounce-that's
his dog-and when the doctor saw
that it was friends demanding ad-
mittance the color returned to his
face and he settled down to ascer-
tain what was the reason of this
intrusion. After consulting the rec
ord he was finally convinced that
he had persuaded Mrs. Moth to live
with him four years, and that the
crowd had gathered to sympathize
with her.
Mr.. and Mrs. G. Roberts and lit
tie daughter. Mr. and Mrs R. B.
Greenwood Dr.. and Mrs. Finnegan
and Mrs. o. H. Barber were in the
party and brought with them an
abundance of good things to eat,

They presented DR.. and Mrs.

nIAT.AD PEOPLE ENTHUSIASTIC
Stock to the Proposed Electric Line
Going Rapidly.

The people of Malad City and of
that vicinity are taking hold of the
proposition of rail road construction
in earnest and those taking sigma
lures for stock are finding willing
subscribers at every turn.
w. H. Thomas, Jr.. of Malad was
in American Falls yesterday for a
short time and said hat there was
no trouble in securing the necessary
amount at their end of the proposed
road.
This fact is interesting and en-
couraging to the people of American
Falls and Rockland and will in
large degree assist in the selling Of
shares here. Work along the line
of taking subscriptions for stock will
begin in earnest next week, but
our people should not wait to be
asked in this matter, for the sooner
the amount of stock is sold the
sooner work will commence on it's
construction.
While in American Falls next Mon
day aud Tuesday attending the farm
ers institute call upon some of those
selling stock and at least talk the
matter over with them.

PATENTS TO CAREY LAND.
All Have Been Issued and Will Be
Sent Out Soon


Patents for the Carey land on the
big tract north of American Falls,
have been made out and the land
departments at Boise are awaiting
the return of the government blanke
patent from Blackfoot and HALEY.
where they were sent for record, as
the land under the American Falls
Canal & Power company is situ
ated in those counties.
The settlers under this ditch, or
at least large percentage of them
have organized themselves into an
peIating company under the name
of the AberdeenSpringfie Canal
company, which lessons the charge
for water materially as all land un-
der the ditch can be assessed for
maintenance whether using water or
not and those improving the land
do not have to bear the whole bur-
den. This is one of the many things
in favor of more rapid development
of the tract, as there will likely now
be very little land idle.
The receiving of the patents will
also place the settlers in a position
to do more towards the improvement
of the tract and great things are ex-
pected from it the coming year or
two. 1t has proven truely a great
producing section and all that has
been against it was the fact that not
many of the settlers have been in
position to go ahead with improve
ments as they would like to do, but
with final patents to the land this
condition will be greatly easied.

Friends and before we returned we
had covered about two thousand
miles, taking in southern and centra
Oregon We had heard great things
about the klamath Falls country,
and the great future of the country,
Rnd before we returned we spent tw
or three days there looking over the
town and the country Our govern
7ment is spending hundreds and
hundreds of thousands of dollars
on ar irrigation project there, and
1t was the judgment of us that they
were nearly throwing the money
away on worthless country.
"It is a very mountainous sec
tion with valleys from ten to thirty
thousand acres and many thousand
acres of the valleys are covered
with shallow and swampy alkili
lakes The country has an elevation
of about forty-four hundred feet and
lies under the shadow of the Cas-
cades and Shasta mountains, which
causes frost every month of the
year. 1t is certainly stock country
and in my judgment it will never be
good for anything else.

never yet seen one with a tenth OF

COUNTY BILL IN SENATE.

Still Rests in Senate.

Still Rests in Senate.
The Power county bill now before
the legislature and which passed the
house SO overwhelmingly some days
ago, still rests in the senate await
Ing its time upon the calendar.
That body has been busy the past
week working upon the rail road
comm ission bill and little attention
has be paid to other matters 1t
will come before the senate in it's
regular turn and will likely be
up in the very early part of the com
ing week, when the final vote will
be taken upon it.
In the senate there is strenuous
opposition on the part of the Blaine
county delegation and a hard fight
is expected there. Friends of the
bill seem to think that there is a
little better. than an even break for
its passage and those in opposition
feel that they have it defeated by a
small margin.
