"REMINISCENCES OF PIONEERS
UDGE FILLER'S ELECTION

Herb Johnson, of Boise, was in
town recently and calling on Judge
Fuller a circumstance was recount
ed of a time in the olden days
when Mr.. Johnson got one on the
Judge as a result OF a political cam
paign. This occurred when Alturas
county took in all of this portion
of southern Idaho. Both Mr.. john
son and the judge were candidates
for office during those early times.
1t so happened that about year
previous TO the campaign a man
named jim Fuller had stolen
team of horses for which he was
convicted and served year IN the
state pen. The theft took place
very close to the judges ranch. 1t
seems that the Judge had an enemy
living in Haley who was familiar
with this circumstance of horse
stealing and he took pains to
spread broadcast the report that
it was Judge Fuller, the candidate
for office, who had stolen the
horses and served a year in the
pen for so doing. The judge fin
ally got wind of the affair and
hastened out into the field to set
matters right with the voters and
to make sure OF his election. When
the votes were counted it devel-
Oped chat Judge Fuller was elected
While his friend Johnson was not.
The two chums met soon after
wards and The judge wanted to
know how it happeden that he
was elected while his chum was
detected. "Oh, that's an easy
proposition, returned Mr.. Johnson,
THE most Of the voters i'll this
district live up in the mountains
and The verdict merely shows that
the majority of them are horse
thieves"

HikES 4 GOOD PROFIT FRDiI
HIS IDAHO WOQkIEls

Ii has been repeatedly stated by
officials Of the idaho State Agri-
cultural college that sheep is one
of the best paying forms of stock
thai can be raised on irrigated
ranches. The writer was remind
ed OF this recently by noticing a
Dand Of sheep going over the Hey
burn bridge to be shipped from the
stock yards at Burley. They be-
longed to j A. Handy, a resident
Of the Big Bend district east of
Hepburn. Mr. Handy in connection
with nelgirb0r of his, is engaged
In raising sheep on quite an ex-
tensiye scale. He started out with
ia surplus car load expecting to
Eship them to the eastern markets
but on the way to Burley he was
met by buyer who offered him a
good big price by weight for the
entire band so Mr. Handy conclud-
led to sell it and delivered the sheep
al the stock yards. In actual
weight they exceeded, very con-
sjderably. Mr.. Handy's estimate and
Il was also a surprise OF the buyer.
Some of the best ones brought $3.50
apiece while the smaller ones
brought $3.50. Mr. Handy is well
satisfied with the amount he re-
ceiyed for his surplus sheep this
season. He states that he viii have
to purchase feed, over and above
What he raised on his ranch, for
those he is keeping. Mr.. Ham,
states that stock raising mulch
more profitable TO the irrigation
farmer than the raising of ordin-
airy crops to be disposed of on the
general market and that they keep
pp the soil fertility Of a farm. A
bushel Of grain that is sold from
the farm carries away a certain
amount of sell fertility which iii
sile case of corn will be 10 cents
FOR each bushel. The seller gets
Is cents less ca each bushel than
he actually received owing to the
waste Of soil fertility. Fhis waste
tls almost avoided where stock have
been fed on the farm and the soil
value is not reduced in the least
by any soil fertility carried away.
At is likely that other ranchers
will be induced TO engage in the
sheep industry after seeing the
actual profits of those like Mr..
HANDY who have already demons
trated the money to be made in the
business.
