The time has been very short
in which to make preparation for
this event but sufficient has been
done to convince the most skep-
teal what can be produced in
this locality.
The races have already created
lively stir amongst horsemen.
The first OF yesterdays races was
"a mile dash between Fenster-
maker and Udy horses, Purse 5000
which was won by Mr.. Fenster-

The second was "A Saddle Horse

Bootleggers get Heavy Fine.

Messrs. Gray. Sizemore and
Eustice, the three fellows who
were arrested for illegally dis
posing OF liquor in Oakley last
Oath July were tried before Judge
Walters last week. Mr.. Gray
was turned loose, while Sizemore
and Eustice each got $4,000 and
costs and FIVE months in Jail.
1t is quite evident that what.
ever the profits are in selling
liquor, this fine must over-balance
the money made during the time
this transportation O. Co. was
IN operation.
Credit is due all parties con.
cerned for their efforts in bringing
TO justice such law breakers.

layers of uncolored cheese cloth.
This is a good plan. Make the
lid alright and place in dark
room, at temperature OF 30 to
40 degrees F. The jars should
be examined every few days and
if found fermenting, the liquid
should be removed, the fruit rim
sed. and new liquid used varying
the proportion of chemicals.
The following formulas have
been used quite successfully in
preparing fruit for exhibition:
1. For vegetables such as
squashes, cucumbers, onions
dissolve 1 pint of pure clean table
salt in every gallon OF water used.
Allow this solution to stand
twelve hours then strain through
several layers of cheese cloth and
pour over fruit.
2. For Strawberries, black
berries, raspberries, currants-
Use clear wateT-white kerosene,
but be sure that no water remains
on the berries.
3. Forpears, peaches, prunes-
Use one quart of glucose and one
half ounce of formaldehyde to
every gallon of water.
4. For apples-Use one and
cne-halt ounces of formaldehyde
to every gallon of water.
5. For fruit in general-Use
one pint of glycerine, five ounces
powdered borax to every gallon
of water, then after Is days add
two ounces formaldehyde to each
gallon for dark truitss.apd two
ounces of sulphurous acid to all
light. colored fruits.

City Streets scene of great
activity.

Oakley has long been known
as town of more than ordinary
business stircompared with other
places of the same size but 1T is a
question If any town in Southern
Idaho can show greater activity
than Oakley does today.
There are at present a large
force of men working on the dep
OF grounds of the O.S.L.
The Steam Threshers are heard
IN almost every direction from the
City.
The Idaho Southern is busy
removing the fencing from their
right of way along College Ave.
The Cement Walks are being
put down at the rate of one and
one-half blocks per day, and the
crowds OF people the Oakley Art,
Livestock and Agricultural Ex-
nibit are bringing to town places
Oakley in the lead for stir and
push.
The Oakley Silver Band is one
of her live members that play an
important part in the public
movements of the town. which
is acknowledged by our neighbors
for the boys are in demand every
where.
They have recently received ne w
Uniforms which makes no small
hi. in itself and quite likely make
the boys feel they will enjoy
greater respect than ever.
All these forces at work cannot

Goose Creek Reser-
voir Co. may
recover lost land.

A number of years ago the
Goose Creek Reservoir Co. which
was organized by local people for
the purpose of building a reser-
voir on the site where the new
Dam is now being built, did some
preliminary work and incurred
some indebtedness. They also
procured some water and lands
down on the lower Goose Greek
amongst which was the old
Botset place, consisting of 16O
acres OF land.
This land has been twice sold
for taxes by the County and one
party who made purchase sold
to second person.
The attention Of the Reservoir
Co. has been called to this matter
and steps are being taken to re-
cover this property, which would
be very serviceable in squaring
up their old accounts at the
present time.
Mr.. KAISER has the matter in
hand and will push it to finish.
If this property belongs to the
people they ought to have it as
they had enough expense and loss
to bear in the early history OF
this valley.
The searchlight will no doubt
be thrown on this deal and the
cause of delinquency made plain.
Let it hit where the circumstance
warrant.

Preserving Fruit for Exhibit
Purposes.

To preserve fruit for exhibition,
in order that 1t may appear in
its natural condition, is process
little understood by the majority
OF the people. However, if one
has the time and inclination to
take the proper precautions very
little difficulty will be experienced
in preparing the fruit. Success
lies in the proper selection of
specimens for preservation. As
much, if not more depends upon
the selection and proper handling
OF the fruit than upon the formula
used. Never allow specimens to
become fully mature, and to meet
with the best success they should
be placed in the preserving fluid
fully two days before thoroughly
ripened. The fruits selected should
be in the best possible condition
and without blemish ofany kind.
After washing in clear. cold
water, to remove all dust, dirt,
spores or other foreign matter,
place carefully in the receivingjar.
Avoid handling the specimens any
more than is really necessary.
After filling the jar as full as poss-
IDLE without bruising the fruit,
the liquid should be poured in.
Some writers recommend strain.

What Water
will do on
Oakley Land.
u. S. AND STATE KEEPING TAB
ON WATER APPLIED IN DIFFERENT
QUANTITIES.

Last spring the Government
Officials installed wiers on three
fve-ac tracts of S. X. Worth
ington's land, which was farmed
by Jos. and Hyrum Martin. with
instructions how to handle the
land and water on each piece.
This land is all the same kind
with drainage and all other con-
ditiOns equal.
On the first piece he directed
Mr.. Martin to run the water
through the furrow and take it
off Just as soon as it reached the
bottom.
On the second piece he ordered
the same amount of water as
ordinarily used on other parts
of the farm.
The third piece an extra amount
was used on it.
Oats was planted on the land
with the following results:

On the first piece which yielded
the heaviest, there were two loads
of grain less when stacked but at
the threshing time turned out
the most grain
The other two pieces had heav
Ter straw but the yield was lighter
This iscertainly important data
for those who have purchased
land on this project and old sett
ers as well, and while this exper
iment was on land that had beer
cultiva ted for years, still the re
suits are most gratifying when i
IS noted that the 6 acre #. prod
uced the most, and the land rec
ewing 1.6 acre #. yielded ~ IL

of land under the same care.
This should be looked into b,

Cassia Stake

SUPT. OF CHURCH SCHOOLS
PRESENT.
VERY PROMISING OUTLOOK.

Monday Morning the Cassia
Stake Academy opened it doors
again with a good number of
Students present. The enrolment
has already reached. 70
1t is evident from the number
Of Oakley Students who expect
TO enroll shortly that the attend
will be greatly increased in a
short time. Those from the out
side are nearly all here no doubt,
rs their presence was marked at
the opening.
Supt. Horace II. Cummings
was present, which added greatly
to the interest ofthe occasion. He
particularly emphasized among
other things, that Students should
he true to themselves and he did
not fear tor their actions toward
others.
He expressed hopefulness for
the future of this school and was
pleased with the opening.
After the morning exercises the
Students began registering while
Supt. Cummings and the Board
nf Education met and discussed
matters pertaining to the School.

Judge Ailshie
will not be
Candidate for Gov.
in 1912.
Makes position clear by letter.

The name of Jas. +. Ailshie has
been talked of for Governor tor
some time by many people and
some papers have urged hisnom-
ination strongly, but the Judge
refuses to come up at the primar-
les next year as a Candidate.
The Constitutional Amendment
prohibiting Judge of the Sup
RENE Court from becoming Gov
ernor during his term of Office as
Judge, is held by the majority of
Attorneys as not standing in the
way, however Mr.. Ailshie has
decided definitely no to be out for
the place, and remove any such
obstacles from arising at the
present time.
The announcement came at an
Opportune time as the State Cen
trail Committee, together with
many leading Republicans will
meet the Goth inst, and very
likely the selections for the State
| Officers will be threshed out pretty
we'll at that gathering.
There are several probable can
didates for the Governorship,
among whom are present Lieut..
Gov. l.. II. Sweetser of Cassia Co.
and Paul Clagstone ,ofClagstone,
Idaho, who was in the race for
Governor last year.
Senators Borah and Heyburn
are on the ground and the forth
coming visit of Prest. Taft, will
doubtless be strong factors IN the
lining up of Republican forces
and the outlining of policies for
the coming campaign IN Idaho.
1t IS to be hoped that whatever
the outline NAV be that it will
lean strongly toward calming the
sea OF distrust and uneasiness
now spread over the County
caused by the stirring up OF the
tariff and reciprocity questions
and that it will busy itself in
matters of Development and
growth OF the great West.
Things of this nature will be
more productive since the strair
that has been forced upon thi.
nation for the last two years ha:
had the effect of breaking trust
and confidence in practically
every division of trade.

Secty. Fisher
Assures Relief
to Settlers.
VISITS MINIDOKA AND TWIN
FALLS TRACT.
GREATLY INTERESTED.
MAKES COOP PROMISES.

p, Secretary oftheInterior Walter
l.. Fisher says that he means to
do all in his power to correct all
of the inequalities and injustices
and wrongs suffered by the people
of the West as the result of bad
things in the law or mistakes In
administration. He saws the
settler should get early title to
his land, whether on a homestead
or on a reclamation project. He
saws the governments should make
good when a settler suffers on
account of overflow or seepage
water, and that protection should
be provided in the contracts. He
says he is going to try to have
the law changed so these Unjust
ices will not continue any longer.
His slogan is !: II am for the man
on the land" He thinks that
Withdrawals should be checked
over and the land should be re-
stored to entry, wherever found
proper, as fast as possible. He
stands for constructive develop
ment.

Wool to be Shipped at
Lower Rates.

1t is strongly believed that
though the investigation into The
Wool production and transport
alton better rate will be brought
about by such investigation.
Mr.. Fred w. Gooding, now
Pres of the Wool Growers Ware
house Association brought this
news from Chicago recently, and
believes that from half to
three fourths of a cent will be
made which means 100000
to $15O,OOOoo will be saved ann
'ually by the sheep men of Idaho.
There is only one way to get
what belongs to the West and
that is to go after it.
There are a great many people
back East. Some of them don't
like to make any concessions to
the West because they don't know
our needs and don't care to know,
while others don't want to be-
cause they don't know better.
We have an example OF a gentle
man with whom a few persons in
this community are pretty well
acquainted, who bought some
extensive apple orchards in Ore
gon along the Snake River. He
needed some more money to de-
velop his heavy interests and was
directed to the Board of Directors
of Oberlin College for money, as
that institution had a large re-
serve which was in the hands of
these gentlemen.
The President of this Board
was communicate with and fin
ally induced to call that body to-
gether.
The would-be borrower was
present OF course and made his
wants known, which reached
about SIS. 10000, backed by
$50, 100000 first class security.
The Pres. listened rather reluct-
antly and after short. session
remark, well | heard of a fellow
up in Dakota who had several
hundred acres ofland that wasn't
worth much and therefore con-
cluded that the Idaho mans
proposition was the same and
ended the meeting.
There was no further discussion
of course. but the man after the
money turned away in disgust at
the narrowness of man who
should have been broad.
But there is nothing like letting
our wants be known.
The Oakley herald. [volume] (Oakley, Idaho) 1908-1961, 1911-09-22

The greatest hope of relieftrom
what has been a heavy burden to
Minidoka Settlers. came when
Sectv Fisher visited the Mind Okla
Tract en- Sunday, the 18th inst,
that hasevercomet to these people.
Wherever he went he found large
crowds to meet him. He got to
work at once, on all problems,
without ceremony. He urges the
people to MAINTAIN a good spirit
i'll working out plans for the
future.
New contracts may be had if
desired with graduated payments
of $1oo first year with increased
payments as the development is
made and Settlers are better able
to stand it.
He believes the land was entered
too soon, but now that it is done
strong effort should be made at
the best possible regulation.
The cost of the land will be
kept at the lowest possible figure,
which is placed at $1,000 per acre
for constructive cost.
He seems firm in his statement
that he intends to help develop
the resources of the West for the
West, that he is for the man on
land, and not for the speculator.
Throughout he made the best
impression of any Government
Official who ever visited the West
on these matters. He will not be
forgotten and if careful to fulfil
his promises they will be inestim
able to the West and especially
the Minidoka Settlers.
