SHERIFF RICH MADE
SEARCH FOR LIQUOR

Last Saturday afternoon Sheriff
Rich applied the search and seizure
law to all of the soft drink places in
Montpelier, except J. F. O'Connor's
place, which was closed. At Hag-
gerty's, which was the first place
searched, the sheriff found bottle
containing a small quantity of liquid
which he decided was liquor. The
sheriff placed Elmo Haggerty under
arrest and leaving him in charge of
Officer Ed French, proceeded to
search the places of Jack Wedel and
the old Capitol saloon, in company
with Deputy Sheriff Athay and Of
flcer Dalrymple. The officers found
both these places ''dry as bones,'' sc
far as liquor was concerned.
Returning to Haggerty's, the sher-
iii informed Elmo, who was stand
ing in front of the place, that the.
would be ready to start to Paris in
few minutes. All four of the officer
were there ut the time. Elmo replied
that he would be ready 20 go as sooI
as he could get what money there
was in the cash register. With thu
officers still standing in front of ths
place, Elmo went in, checked mp the
cash register, quietly walked out the
back door and disappeared as quickly
and mysteriously as though the eartf
had swallowed him up. AS soon al
the officers discovered that Elmo haC
given them the slip, they begaI
searching 1.-THE highways and by
ways" but he was no where to b,
found. Nothing was heard of hin
until the next morning, when it wa
learned that he WAS in COkeVille
having secured II horse, while the of
fieers were waiting for him to checl
up his cash register, and leisurel.
rode out of town.
No effort has been made by Sherii
Rich to bring Elmo back and it is nj
likely that any will be. It il pre-
sumed that the bottle of booze, 0
whatever it is, has been properl
labeled and placed among archive
In the court house, to De used a
evidenced against Elmo, should h
ever happen to stray over this wa
and come within reach of the officer

sired it. But he has got the guber-
material fever and it is that or back
to the print shop for Mr.. Taylor.
While no one has announced them
selves for that Office, yet several are
said to be grooming for the race
and in due time will shie their cast
ors into the ring.
Attorney General McDougal has
stated that he does not intend to
follow the example of so many Of
the retiring state officers and locate
in Boise, bnt will again hang ont
his sbingle at Malad when his term
expires.
While no one has formally an
nounced his candidacy for that Of
fee as yet, it is generally conceded
that John III. Peterson, the present
assistant attorney general, will be
candidate. One or two other at
torneys will probably in due time
announce their desire to become
the states loyal adviser
Had Chief Justice Stewards
health not failed HIM, it is almost
certain that no republican Judge or
attorney IN the state would have
thought of entering the race against
him. And while his health is some
what better than it has been for the
past year or more, it is generally
admitted that the Judge will not b.
candidate for denomination.
With Judge Stewart out of the race.
one would naturally suppose tha,
there would be several asplrants for
the judicial toga.
However. at this time only two
names have been mentioned as pos.
sible successors to Judge Stewart
They are Judge Edward Walters of
the Fourth district and Judge Alfred
Bulge of this district. If the ex.
pressions heard from the leading
republicans of the state, who gather
ed at Boise last week, count for any
thing, Judge Bulge is by long odds
the favorite at this time. The COM
pliment paid to Judge Bulge BY
the Pocatello Tribune, which is
published elsewhere in this issue, il
but reflection of the sentiment
which prevails in his favor through
ont the Southern and Southeastern
portion of the state, where be is 40
we'll known. AS it looks now there
is scarcely any doubt but what
Judge Budge will be nominated to
succeed Judge Stewart.

]. G. MERRILL SELLS
YOUNG TEAM FOR tl25

Last Monday J. g. Merrill OF Ben
nington, sold to Chas Hauck Of
Bancroft, team of three-year-Old
Percheron mares, for which he re-
ceived the handsome sum of s426.
The mares weighed about l40O pounds
each and were certainly beauties.
Last spring Mr.. Hauck paid Mr..
Merrill 1925 for a two-year-old Perch
eron mare. At that time Mr.. HRnck
took a fancy to the two mares he
purchased last Monday and said that
he would be back after them In q few
months. These three sales furnish
convincing proof that it pays TO raise
good stock and Mr.. Merrill is one OF
the many Bear Lake county farmers
who has profited by raising good
horses. The sire of these mares, Mr
Merrill informed us, got leg broker
a few weeks ago and had to be killed

beet quality, the locators immeda'
lys set about organizing a company.
Mr.. Jones took up the question of
fright rates with the Oregon Short
Libe officials and has secured sat
isfactory rate to Butte, Portland,
Seattle and all other orthwestern
points and also to all points in
Southern Idaho. The demand for
the various products made from
gypsum is rapidly increasing
throughout the west, especially on
the coast. These sections now re-
ceive all this product from the east
ern plants.
The machinery for a mill of 100
ton daily capacity has been ordered
from the east and will he shipped in
a few days. 1t is the desire of the
company to have the plant ready for
operation by not later than the first
of next December. A tramway
will be constructed to carry the rock
down from the mountain to the road
from whence il will be conveyed by
teams to the plant, which will be
located near the railrord track,
somewhere in the north thwestcrn part
of town.
Mr.. Jones says that they Will not
endeavOr TO turn out more than 300
tons week during the coming
winter, but next spring they will be
in shape to run the plant to its full
and he says there will be
- ready market for every ton pro-
iuced. The rock will be converted
into stncco, hard wall plaster, plas-
ter of paris and calcine paints.
This new industry when put into
full operation, will provide q pay
roll of ut least $3.50 day, besides
giving the stock. k.holders nice mar
gin of profit.

humus in the soil, frequent surface
cultivation and the maintenance of
loose surface mulch to check
evaporation and preserve moisture,
the rotation of crops to preserve
soil fertility, the raising of live
stock to the limit of the farms

common sense on the part of the
farmer as a lubricant for his seasons q
labors.
The Dry-Farming Congress has
grown SO rapidly that its division
into sections became necessity Aev-
eral years ago. This year no.lesE
than five great convention halls
have been secured to accom- modate
the various divisions. In addition
to the parent congress there are now
the International Congress of Farm
Women, the International Confer.
ence Of Agricultural Colleges and
Experiment Stations, the Colorado
Division of the American Breeders
Association, and the Great Plains
Cooperative Experimental Associa-
tion, the last named being composed
entirely of experimental and field
men connected with the United
States Department of Agriculture
Special sessions of each division will
be held through the five days of thb
congress. There will also be instif
tute or practical farm work sessiohS
covering from two to five hourA
daily.
The international exposition of
dry farmed propucts will occupy .
building 500 feet IN length, and
there will he extensive exhibits
from almost every state west of the
Missouri river, from several Canad.
IAN provinces and from half dozen
foreign countries. The machinery
exhibit will occupy an additional
! space l40x40e feet in size.
The Dry Farming Congress has
as its head this year DIR. J. H..

kota Agricultural college. lts sc,ive
officer is Secretary Treasurer John
Z. Burns, of Colorado Springs.
Several cities are asking for the
honor of the 1912 convention.
Lethbridge, Canada, Salt LAke,
Utah, and Prescott, Arizona, are
the candidates.

REMARKABLE AVERAGE
YIELD OF WINTER WHEAT

Pocatello, Sept. 2S-That the
1911 crop of winter wheat in Idaho
averaged 81 bushels per acre Is the
startllng statement made TO Trib.
une man this morning by A. F.
Hit Of Weiser, who Is district sta
tistician for the federal government
in the agricultural department.
Il have gathered the necessary
data on winter wheat IN Idaho, "
said Mr. Hit, 'sand find that the
average yield throughout the state
has been 81 bushels per acre. The
average yield of wheat in the whole
United States from 1890 10 1910,
was but 1873 bushels per acre. Dur
ing that period the average yield in
the gre test of all winter wheat
states, Montana aud Wyoming was
81. 5 bushels. ldaho's average yield
during that period was 30 bushels.
Improved farming methods, an in'
creased acreage, and a general i'm
provement in conditions, ha'
brought about Idaho's wonderfully
increased average yield.
"By October will have in ms
possession all the data relating Il
Idaho's yield of spring wheat, oat'
and barley. confidently expec
some startling figures"

"A new INDUSTRY
FOR MONTPELIER
A Company Has Been Organized to Work the

The Idaho Plaster Company IL
the title of company which ha.
just been organized in Montpeli, l
for the purpose Of converting the
immense gypsum derosits, fOui
miles east of town, into commercial
products. The company is capital
ized for el00, 900 with shares at the
par value Of IL each.
With the exception of John NJ.
Jones Of Portland, the company Is
composed entirely of local people.
The gypsum deposits were first
located about three years ago, but
were relocated last January.
While the locators felt that they
had an excellent quality Of gypsum,
they were not aware Of its real
purity until three weeks ago, when
Mr.. Jones, who incidentally learned
of the deposits, came here and made
careful tests of it. Mr.. Jones is an
expert in this industry, having been
engaged in the plaster business for
the past l6 years, and is connected
with some OF the large gypsum
plants in different sections of the
country. He is also patentee Of
several pieces of machinery, which
are used in converting the rock into
the finished product. Tests made
from the rock secured at different
points on the claims have proven
to Mr.. Jones that the gypspm is
practically 100 per cent pure, and
can therefore be treated at much
less expense than the lower grades
of rock, which are now being profit
ably worked in the gypsum plants
in Iowa, Kansas and other places
in the United States.
Upon being assured by Mr.. Jones
that they had practically an inex-
haustable supply of gypsum of the

DRY FARMING CON-
CRESS DOING GOOD

Colorado Springs, Colo, Sept 81.
The Sixth International Dry
Farming Congress will hold its ses-
sions in this city during the five
days from October 10 TO 20, inclu
sive.
Behind this simple statement
turks what is probably the greatest
single agricultural force the world
has ever known.
The International Dry. Farming
Congress is an organization with
working branches in nine countries
of the world, with more than 10, 900
individual members scattered thru
fifty nations, and with an expense
for agricultural propaganda, includ.
ing the fund expended by its
branches, of more than $50, 900 an
nuallv.
The Sixth Congress will have as
delegates in actual attendance,
seven governors of states, ten presi-
dents of agricultural colleges, fifty
professors of similar institutions,
fifty members of the staff of the
United States department of agri-
culture, half hundred agricultural
authorities from foreign countries,
and more than $500 prominen,
farmers and business men, all of
them intensely interested in the
great problem of retaining the So
called arid districts of the world.
These delegates actually own and
operate farms TO the extent of near
ly six millions of acres, and the
problems they wall NEE to consider
are vital 10 sixty-three per cent OF
he American continent and To more
Than fifty per cent of the entire
earth's surface.
The Congress is a unique organ
ization. Its avowed objects are the
co operative, scientific study of
agriculture and the development of
better farming methods in the sub
humid or so-called "dry" districts
of the world. It has no country to
colonize. Il has no lands to sell.
Its work is utterly lmpersonal, and
as such, it has been officially indore-
ed by the agricultural authorities ot
many countries.
/ The world has discovered, as 8
Igeneral truth, that the method used
lin farming in those regions whIct
receive 90 inches of rainfall or lesi
per year makes all the difference be
Tween success and failure. The &C
