Mr. +. 7. Lewis has been de-
monstrating this year the adapta-
bility of the sandy land around
Stallings to trucking. He took
as his trial patch about three
quarters of an acre of ground
that was used last year as base
ball ground Early in the spring
he planted it to Irish potatoes
in rows five feet apart and har-
vested a 500 crop. Between the
rows Of potatoes he planted
row of cotton and has gathered
about $40 worth OF seed cotton.
The cotton was the Lewis long
staple variety which he SAYS will
make as much per acre as any
cotton grown but will not make
quite as much lint.

Enterprise.

Enterprise.
Daniel M. llathcock of Fur
township won the gold medal
awarded at the courthouse here
Monday for the best farm dem
onstration work. We note last
week that Mr.. Hathcock had
raised 4l2 bushels of corn on
4.4acres of upland, and it is gra-
tifying to us that he has been
awarded the medal, which he de-
serves. The corn was raised at
a cost of only % cents a bushel.
j. c. Nance, also of FUR, rais-
ed 65 bushels per acre on 5,l-2
acres, and W. II. Bivens, of Ty-
son, rs bushels ON acre. This
is fine piece of demonstration
work of farming in Stanly, and
shows what excellent results can
be obtained by applying brains
and Drawn and modern methods
of farming. Some of the farm
land now yielding 60 10 40 bush
els per acre was never known
before to yield more than 80.

A PUMPING SYSTEM PROPOSED
Land Adjacent to Jerome to be Sup
piled with Water by Hydraulic
Means

I.aying To the northeast OF Jerome is
about 1900 acres OF what is termed high
land, or land that cannot be reached 10y
the gravity system from the present ca
nails. This land has been acquired by
the Twin Falls North Side Land K Water
Co. who now seek to make it available
for settlement.
With the developement in progress
adjacent To these lands their value has
materially increased and in order to
bring them into producing state the
company is now contemplating the in
stalation oi 4 pumping system OF con-
siderable magnitude by which it is in
tended To elevate water from the present
canal system over these lands. This
land has been segregated and the water
has been filed upon and all that remains
is To install the pumping plant.
To this end w. 5. Kuhn and other
members of the company appeared before
the land board at Boise last week, ask
ing that the water rights for these lands
be raised from $50 to $50 per acre, with
AN additional cost for power, not to ex-
ceede the sum OF S25 per horse power for
six months service.
This request was put in the form OF
a resolution which the board has taken
under advisement until the proposition
can he thoroughly investigated by State
Engineer Robinson and Cary Act. Com
missioner Schawhan. While the boarc
are in hearty sympathy with this prop
osition, like many others of like ma
ture throughout the state, the rights q
the present users of water under thl
| system will first be considered, and n
, we were informed no more terrltor,
would he added until it was fully dem
2 onstraetd that sufficient water was avail
- able for the purpose.
A still larger proposition was pre-
3 sented by Mr.. Kuhn, who stated that d
t. the Twin Falls country there are, in ad
dition to the l4,0o0 acres spoken 4
. above. between $1,000 and lOp,ON acre
a of land above any gravity canal. Thl
:, has not been segregated and water io
II it has not yet been filed upon.
o Mr.. Kuhn said his plan was to go ;
once tn the headwaters of the Snak
= River in Wyoming, there to select

tween 4OO, 900 and 6oO,0Oo acre feet {

PRACTICALLY ASSURED.
Arrangements for Opening the Bruneau
Territory About Consumated
The Proposition to be Backed by
Financial Interests Headed by
J. Pierpont Morgan.

Sundays Capital News, of Boise,
gives the details of financial mer-
ger that is Of paramount interest to
Southern Idaho, and this section in
particular, as it means the opening
Of the great Bruneau tract that has
been 50 freely discussed OF late.
Kuhn Loeb d Co.. ., one OF the great
est financial institutions in the
world, has taken over the Buhl in
tarests in the irrigation of 600, 900
acres of land, which will necessitate
the expenditure Of nearly $50, ,OOO,-
600. This land is located on the
South side OF the Snake river, and
extends from the Salmon river to a
point six miles west Of Glcnns
Ferry. This means the retirement
OF Buhl, and the introduction into
this state Of probably the greatest
| financial concern in the United
States, behind which stands J. ?.
Morgan and other millionaires
ready to invest their fortunes III
irrigation enterprises.
The plans proposed and which
are in reality settled upon, include
the construction of one of the larg
est irrigation reservoirs in the worlc
through the raising Of the big con
crete dam located on the Snak,
river near American Falls, backing
the waters Of the Snake back owe
the entire townsite of American
Falls, and it is said almost to ldah'
Falls, forming a great inland lax
which can he drawn upon for irri
CATION purposes, and assuring waite
for the entire irrigation year.
The canals to be constructed vii
alone represent an investment q
millions of dollars. The new com
pany proposes to have the projec
complete in every detail prior t
settlement, so that when the Ian
is opened it will be ready for tn
highest class of Improvements.

Settlers ON the North Side tract
can well congratulate themselves on
the even flow of water they have
had thus far, and which from pres
cnt indications will continue during
the season under the system OF ro-
tation adopted by the company
Settlers along the Boise river have
been having more or less trouble all
summer and have been airing the
same in the courts. Tuesday a de-
cision was rendered allowing the va
rious projects along the river to take
but six-tenths of n miners inch pei
acre from the river. The fact tha'
many projects along our streams ar
using more water than they are en-
titled to, at the expense OF others
is matter that must sooner OF IA
ter come under government reguia
; tion.

Of the taxable property.
II will be readily seen in such event
that great injustice will be done
to those in the county who have been
assessed at 5000 rates because they
will bc compelled to pay on an as
sesscd rate OF over lOOc. The ag-
grcgate amount Of the tax paid
by the tax payers Of the county
would Of course represent the value
of all Of the property at lOOc on
the dollar.
The State Board cannot raise the
same kind OF property in one pOr-
ton Of the county without raising
it throughout the county. In other
words the State Board cannot take
the assessments of particular indi-
viduals and raise or lower them but
must deal with the county in the
aggregate or with certain classes OF
property in the county a. whole.
The County Board, therefore,
should, | repeat, pay close atteneion
To this matter in order that an in
justice is not worked upon the tax
payers Of one particular portion OF
their county to the benefit OF those
living in another portion. The fact
] that such inequalities will exist by
reason Of the raise will not be taker
into consideration by the Stat,
Board because it is the peculiar pro
vince OF the County Board to attenc
= to it.
