Press Club and Normal Commence

Mr.. and Mrs. has j. Lisle of the
Recorder attended the meeting OF
the Eastern Idaho Press Club at
Idaho F. lis this week. Theehospi
tality of the Idaho Falls newspaper
people, and of one or two other peo-
pie there, is to be commended as
of the best kind. The business ses-
sion of the Club was very profit
able, and largely attended. From
Idaho Falls the party went up the
Park line to Big Springs, the head
waters of the North Fork of the
Snake river. 1t is a beautiful and
a famous resort, and the fish and
the mosquitoes are biting fine just
now The editors ate bear meat,
and trout, and other things that are
not regular diet in their homes, un-
til the genial Tuck Blevins and his
wife Wondered whether they could
ever get away alive.
On the way home, the Recorder
family went over to Albion, to at
tend the normal school commence
ment and the annual meeting of the
board of trustees. The school is
making remarkable progress, and
is credit to this or any other state.
1t can be honestly commended to
any one in search of an education,
as one of the most progressive in
the West. The ideal home surrounds
ings, the low cost of living, and the
exceptional character of the instruc-
tion, all make it school to be de-
sired by any one in search of the

Strawberries, while the vines grow

the other points near here where
long settlement has given them

fair guess that they have been over

dry enough that they could be kept

summer sun to ripen and color the

Armies of Men and Horses In the 16
Grading Camps Already Estab-
lished on Central Idaho.

Work hs settled down to the long
hard grind of actual construction on
the Central Idaho railroad out of
Richfield Already 500 men and
$50 teams are in the field, and 9TH
ers are being added as fast as they
can be placed.
Sixteen camps have been establish
ed, mostly near this end of the job.
The lower end of the road was con-
tracted first, as it is desired to have
the track laid for hauling out the
supplies particularly the heavy ma
terial for the two big bridges over
the Big Wood and the Malad, and
rule so as to get as many men as
possible to work
The contract for the last 25 mile
section of the road, from the Malad
to the present terminus near High
Prairie, was let last week to Eggle-
ston e. Matthew, of Denver. They
have sub-let the first ten miles to
Thurber and Smith, of Manard, who
will use Camas Prairie men and
teams. The rest of the job will be
done by an outfit the contractors
will ship in from Denver.

The Utah Construction Company,
general contractor for the whole
line. has a large supply camp here
In Richfield, and has it's office force
thoroughly organized. There will
be ne question of the companys abil-
ity TO handle the job in record time.
Sixteen cars of material came in
Monday, mostly material for the
camps, and not ties, rails and other
track-building stuff When the job
gets far enough along flor putting
down the track itself, a whole train
load day will be too small a, sup
ply.
The right of way is to be fenced
on both sides, as soon as the grade
is finished so that the fence will
not be in the way of the teams.
1t was thought probable that sew
eral suits might have to be brought
in the district court, to condemn a
right of way cross tracts of land on
which the owners set rather excep-
tional values. This has been avoid
ed, at least here on the Richfield
tract, and no court proceedings will
be necessary.

little care in selecting and caring foi

of the most profitable of crops 1t
is proverbial that Strawberries pay
well wherever they can be well
grown Net returns of from 500 to
S4OO per acre per year, are the rule
in the strawberry sections. There
is such a demad for the fresh. lus-

be extended indefinitely.
There are several varieties of
small fruits that should thrive won
derfully in this section Blackber-

as promising as Strawberries, and

strawberry is the most popular of
all theese small fruits, the others
are all salable, ad some growers who
did OF succeed with oe might do well

of data which will be of much bene-
fit to the irrigators, especially to
those who are called upon to allot
the proper and economic amount
of water to large projects to be
opened in the near future.
The method used is to select ty-
pical farms, planted to staple field
crops, in the various irrigated sec
tions of the state. From 10 to 20
acres are selected on each farm and
this is divided into three nearly equa
plats. The owner is allowed to ir-
rigate one of them at such times
and using the same amount of water
as has been his usual custom. This
is carefully measured by my assist
ant, after which the two other plats
are irrigated using a larger amount
of water than the owner has used
upon one and a lesser amount upon
the other.
THUS we have in each case three
fields all planted to the same crop
on the same soil and handled in ex-
actly the same manner, but upon
which different amounts of water
have beeeen applied during the grow
ing season, making it quite easy to
decide in the fall, as to the proper
amount of watre to apply to the soil
and crop in question.
This is the second year that we
have been working along the fore
going lines and we hope to continue
the work throughout next year as
we'll We are now measuring water
on more than $50 fields and I am
sure that we will secure much sci
entific data that will be of benefit tol
farmers.

DOUBLE THE WATER SUPPLY
BY Increasing the Value of Service
for the Water Now in Use.

Chicago, ILL.,, June 13.-Don H.
Bark, irrigation engineer in charge
of Investigations in Idaho for the
United States department of agri-
culture, says in lettere to Arthur
Hooker, executive secretary of the
National Irrigation Congress, which
will have it's 18th annual conven-
tion in this city, December to 8,
that more land has been put under
cultivation in Idaho this year than
ever before, and he adds, crops are
excellent condition throughout the
state. Continuing he says;
THE snowfall in the mountains,
which are drained by the daho noun
tains, was unusually heavy last win
ter, and, as the weather has been
the flood waters did OF start to come
down from the hills until toward
the close of May, which fact in
sures the irrigators an abundance
of water for the irrigation of their
crops during the present season"
Regarding what is being accomp-
lished on special irrigation investi-
cations in Idaho, Mr.. Bark notes
among other things:
During the last two years l have
been conducting the largest duty on
water Investigations that has ever
been carried on in the United States
We have had from 10 to IL men en-
gagged in measuring water on typi-
cal farms throughout the state and

SOLDIER TOWNSHIP SALE.

New Soldier, July II, will be a big
road could not go to the old town
of Soldier, the nearest point being
almost two miles away; so new
town is to be built on the railroad.
1t promises to be a big winner, and
many lots are already sold. The
townsite company is preparing to
care for all the crowd that will at
tend the opening sale, and it is a
trip that will be well worth while
for any one from this section to
make. 1t will be an object lesson
to those who do not knw how big a
country this is.

tenn during the low water season,
but sufficient water is running in
both Big and Little Wood rivers to
keep those streams practically bank
full. Nor has the ordinary summer
high water season as yet passed.
The irrigation company has lifted
its gates in the tunnel through
which the river is drawn, and the
tunnel is running entirely full, but
in addition water to the amount of
perhaps a thousand second feet is
running over the spillway to til
left of the dam. The reservoir it.
self is one of the largest artificial
lakes in the world and the spill
way waterfall is also one of thief
prettiest falls in the ewest.
1t now looks as though the res
ervoir in future years should prove 9
fishermans paradise. An effort will
be made by the Idaho irrigation COM
pany to have the state stock the
reservoir with brook, mountain and
lake trout. Even at present, in the
river below the dam there is fine
trout fishing. The company is hav-
ing a guest house erected at the
dam, and has ordered a gasoline
launch, which will probably be re-
ceived before the first of July.

One of the noticeable features of
this years development has been tn

five or six years in the few orchards

the growth of winter apples. AS a

Agricultural development in Lin
coin county, said c. A. Elmer of Sho-
shone, who is in the city, has been
extraordinary this spring. Not only
have a large number of new people
come in, with the expressed intention
of remaining permanently ,bua those
who have ben living in the county,
and particularly those who have had
Carey act land, are developing larger
acreage than before. hTere Is ap-
parently every procpect that this fall
for the first time in the history of
farming in that county, there will be
large exports of farm products IL ed
dition to the usual half million or so
of fat lambs and sheep that will be
sent to market.
The Oregon Short Line is now
building two branch lines in the cou
ty. What is generally known as the
Bliss-Rupert cutoff, extending be-
tween these places, and running
through Jerome and Wendell has
nearly reached Wendell ffrom the
Bliss end and Jerome from Rupert.
This road will be completed in time
to haul the crops this fall
The construction of the Camas
Prairie line from Richfield to Sol
dier has been started. The Utah
Construction Co. has established
its headquarters in Richfield and
number of grading camps have been
established. Material tracks are be-
ing pua in, and mile or more of
grade has been completed. hTe eng
neer in charge of the work. antici-
pates that the road will be completed
to Soldier before the first of next
January.
Richfield, which is headquarters
for the Idaho Irrigation company, is
enjoying a boom just at present, par
TALLY owing to the activity in rail-
road building. This does not accou1
for most of the growth, however.
This growth is rather to be credit
ed to the activity among the Carey
act land owners. Last season there
was a gratifying development on the
Richfield tract, and by the end of
the season fully 10000 acres of sag
brush land had been improved sub
stantially. Fully double that acre
age is in crop this year, and there is
every prospect that by the close of t |
the irrigation season even this will |
have been added to materially.
To degree the same thing might |
be said of the whole Big Wood Riv-
er project. The lands surrounding
Dietrich, Shoshone and Kooding are
all being improved. In the vicinity
both Shoshone and Gooding there ha
been change in the ownership of
a good deal of the old decided
lands. Almost every day some OF
these older lands have been sold to
people coming from Washington or
Oregon. These land buyers come to
Idaho to nike homes. This is also t
OF the Carey act entrymen. There
are no longer any speculative en-
tries on the open lands of the Idaho
compny, nor, / believe. on

RETURNS ON
ORE SHIPMENTS
FROM MEXICAN

The Mexican Mining company
had received up to Saturday last
the sum of $14,575 for ore shipped
to the smelter in the month of
August, with three additional cars
yet to hear from, which will UNI
doubtedly swell the net receipts
from ores sold to a sum consider
ably above the current expenses for
the month No shipments of first
class ore have been made since the
first week of the month, so that the
net earnings from this source for
August will be considerably under
that of July. The preliminary work
to sinking on the 2500-foot level
has made extensive ore extraction
, except in the ordinary course of this
work, largely impossible, but there
| is now an accumulation of shipping
| grade at the Union shaft chute
awaiting shipment, 1t is also ex-
peeted that the new winze will be
carried down in first grade ore, thus
adding to the reserve of that class
or material.
There was an unusually sizable
delegation of visitors to the north
end on Saturday including large
number from Reno, points in the
east and from California The trip
underground was made through the
G. G. shaft, and it was one OF
the largest crowds seen on visiting
day at the mines for a long time.
Many tourists at the Lake and Reno
are including Virginia City in their
itinerary, and many have secured
special permits of late to visit the
mines during the week on other
