SOME TRUTH TO IT.

1t has been repeatedly asserted
that Idaho potatoes were being
shipped into Greeley, Colo, and re-
shipped from there as Greeley DO
tatoes. This statement has "A often
been denied by shippers there.
State Commissioner S. J. Rich
however, is authority for the state
ment that the upper Snake river
valley, especially the towns of
Blackfoot, Shelley and Idaho Falls.
are shipping out from 30 to 20 cars
Of potatoes every day now and have
been doing SO since the harvest
began. The crop is enormous.
On the other hand, Colorado
has ID per cent of a potato crop.
One OF the men most deeply inter
ested in this business in Colorado
admitted Ia me that Colorado had
but - per cent Of potato crop,
and what they had was poor stuff.
Around Greeley and other potato
centers in his state, he said, they
were cleaning out their great pototo
pits and filling them with potatoes
shipped in from Idaho. These are
being bought up for less than 81
per bushel. They will be held in
these Colorado pits till late in the
winter and then sold in the east for
50 per bushel; and every one of
them will he sold a. a product of
the great potato state of Colorado. -
BE thi' a. it may, the fame OF
the Idaho potato will be world wide
by another season, ~ the crop from
this section this year will be sulli-
cient to introduce them into the
markets Of the east, and the fact OF
their superior quality will bring a
large demand for them another fall
Watch the Idaho potato grow in
favor.

DISCOURAOES EXTENSIONS.

That the Government is prepar-
ing to take hand in the water
question in Idaho, is evident from
a statement made by Secretary of
the Interior Fisher last week, re-
garding the use Of surplus water
from government projects. Here
tofOre the government has been in
clined to dispose of its surplus wat
er to irrigation companies who have
run short Of a supply during the
season, but the Secretary states that
this policy will not be pursued to
encourage the extension Of any pro-
iect. A Washington dispatch of
Nov. Sth states:
Secretary Fisher to-day an
nounced that hereafter the Warren
Act, providing for the disposal of
surplus waters from Government
irrigation projects, shall be 80 con-
strued in such way that surplus
waters available in Government res
ervoirs shall he supplied to lands al
ready under irrigation which have
inadequate water supply rather than
for enlarging the area of a Govern
ment project by adding lands not
yet irrigated. This policy, how
ever, Secretary Fisher says, is not
to encourage the extension of prior
projects in such a manner as may
threaten new deficiency in theil
supply. Private projects will be
required to contribute to the cost ot
storage water of the Government
project whenever they take water
from the Government reservoir.

TEN when completed. At the pre-
sent time this stock is held entirely
by the Land & Water Co. and no
settler on the tract has the privi
lege OF voting one share of it.
1t can therefore be plainly imag-
med what the result might be at
the time the company is ready to
turn the works over to the Canal
Co. True, this transfer does not
release the construction company
from fulfilling their obligations
under the contract, unless they can
prevail upon the Land Board to ac-
cept the work, as was done on the
South Side.
Through the efforts of the North
Side Canal Users Association it is
hoped to prevent a repetition OF
conditions as they exist on the
Twin Falls tract, and in these efforts
the Association should have the
support of every loyal settler on
this tract.

Additional Wendell Items.
From our Regular Correspondent.
Regular Trains

Station Agent Eaton has received
official notification that the North
Side branch Of the Oregon Short
Line will be turned over to the op-
Grating department on Dec. 1st.
The telegraphone is now in opera
ton from Wendell to Rupert and
kilograms may be sent that way
The message will be phoned to Ru-
pert at present. The names of the
towns on the new line are as fol-
lows: Rupert, Paul, Burky, Haz-
elton, Eden, Perrine, Falls City,
Barrymore, Jerome, Wendell, Tut
tie and Bliss. Tuttle is just an even
nine miles from Wendell and seven
and two-tenths miles from Bliss.
This will throw that station about
two miles beyond the proposed site
Of Edison. The foreman who has
in charge the building of the depots
and sidings on this end Of the line
has received word countermanding
the order to put in siding and build
ings at Edison.

and instead, court the the favor of
the empire that is being built up
over here. This department has
dutifully consulted the historians
and the well posted men of the
North Side, ," and they one and all
join in the sentiment that the North
Side, during the whole of its three
years of history, has been existing
between the Devil and the Deep
SEQ. Twin Falls on the one side
and Gooding on the other. Thanks
to the Oregon Short Line, these
conditions are about thing of the
past and we will have to contend
with them no longer. We don't
mean to say that the really big men
of either town were to blame for
this condition of affairs, and we are
glad that there is a growing senti-
ment for the better, even among the
little men of those two places.

ENORMOUS PROFITS IN HOGS.

When the farmers wake up to
the fact that a good SOW should
bring an income of from Sl25 to
$50 per year, southern Idaho is
destined to be one of the greatest
hog producing countries in the
United States. We have the best
climate in the world for hogs, while
the enormous amounts of feed in
the shape of alfalfa, corn, clover,
wheat, barley and rye that can be
raised at a normal cost makes the
business an exceedingly remunera-
tive one. The market situation is
one that should not be overlooked
At the present time pork is SC
scarce on the Pacific coast that hogs
are shipped to Portland markets
from as far east rs Iowa and Mis-
souri,. The Duroc Jersey is tn,
best breed for this section. They
have splendid vitality, always
healthy and produce large litters

Thousand Springs Power Plant

Mr.. Lafayette Hanchett, of Salt
Lake City, who is a member of the
Board of Directors of the National
Copper Bank of that place, arrived
in Wendell Friday of last week.
MIR. Hanchett gives out that he will
Immediately begin work on the
Thousand Springs Power plant.
The enterprise is backed by the in
terests that control the National
Copper Bank, and it is understood
that there is unlimited capital be-
hind it.
Mr.. Hanchett is accompanied by
Mr.. l.. NJ. Cargo, who represents
the Westinghouse Machinery Com
pany, which company will furnish
the machinery for the plant. This
company has installed the machin-
cry for practically every power
plant on the Snake river.
The supplies for the plant will be
freighted out from Wendell, which
place will be the headquarters for
the company. The plant will gen.
crate 5000 horse power and will
cost approximately $500, 900. Mr.
Hanchett expects to have the work
completed in six months. No
word has been given out as for what
purpose the power will he used.
There have been numerous letters
and petitions filed with Congress
men in the past, asking that this
scenic and historic bit of nature be
set aside by the National Govern
ment, and not destroyed for com
mercial purposes. But nothing ha'
ever been done, and in about 81,
months these wonderful spring
will be things of the past.

The Twin Falls Times Of last
Thursday, devoted considerable
space in reply to an article that
appeared in these columns two
weeks ago. We desire to say in
explanation of our article that we
had no intention of roasting the
Twin Falls newspapers. We read
lily acknowledge that those organs
have maintained a magnificent 81
lence regarding what the Twin Falls
Times is pleased to term our diff
culties, and we add just as truly
that their silence has been even
more sonorous and impressive re-
garding the great achievements and
the wonderful advancement made
by the North Side. We would not
for a minute think of criticising
some really big men that Twin Falls
certainly has. If that fair city had
half dozen +. J. Ostranders, and
the same number of Robert W.
Spanglers, we would predict a
great future for it. But outside OF
few men like these named, Twin
Falls is narrow and grasping and
apparently would hope to make a
city from tributary territory extend
ing some half dozen miles each way
from the townsite. If Twin Fails
ever makes the town that the peo
pie of the Twin Falls district hope
it will have to loosen up and brancl
out for the trade of this entire ter
ritory. In order that it may be

CANAL COMPANY SUES

Suit was commenced in the Dis
trict Court Of Twin Falls county
last week by the Twin Falls Canal
Co. against the Twin Falls Land &
Water Co., claiming s639,0O0 for
alleged failure to construct the
canal system on the South Side in
accordance with the contract. Ii
will be remembered that the settlers
on the South side recently voted IA
bond issue to complete the works
there, and they now seek redress
from the Water Co. The Buhl
Herald has the following mention
of the case:
Alleging in s639 600 suit filed
in the district court on Thursday
of last week that the Twin Falls
Land & Water Co. did not fulfil
their contract with the settlers of
the Twin Falls tract, in that they
did not construct their headgates,
wastegates and laterals in masonry
and concrete IA contracted, and
that the system is therefore incom-
plete, the settlers of the Twin Falls
Canal Co. are making determined
effort to force the Water Co. to set
tie this final difference.
Contending that the stock was IN
the hands of the Company at the
time the system was turned over,
and the settlers were not consulted
i'm the matter, the complainants be-
lieve they have case that Will re-
ceive lust consideration from the
courts, and it is highly probable
that it will be taken to the federal
court.
Those who are in a position to
know, assert that it will take al
least 5000, 900 to complete the sys-
tenn, and it has always been mys-
tery how the company was able to
hoodwink the State Land Board in
To accepting the system. The State
Engineer knew that the head gates
e did not come up to the requirements
of the contract, yet he put his IN
dorsement to the disgraceful pro,
ceedings. The result was n cry oI

cerned.
