He started to work the morning after

work and the others as accessories, and
on Saturday he had fourth, A. c.

a felony.

Idaho League of Water Users
Attorney Stafford of Gooding Elected President and
Tells How Good the Organization is for Stafford

We note by the Idaho Statesman
that w T. Stafford of Gooding is or
ganizing league of all water users in
Southern Idaho for the purpose of
clubbing the Carey Act Companies.
According to the Gooding Herald this
league is for the protection of the m ian
on the land and the list of parties
present shows mainly lawyers, bankers
and other city farmers.
According to the GoodinG Leader
this movement is widespread move
ment for the improvement of water
rules and regulations.
We can arouse no enthusiasm for
this league" and if the membership
is TO be made up of the elements which
have been holding calamity around
Gooding for the past year we predict
that it will soon crystalize into league
for the pecuniary relief of lawyer or
two, with Incidental political ramifi-
cations.
We see nothing gained from this
continued batting of the Carey Act
com iPsiiies, and have not arrived

men supposed to be implicated in the
Picabo robbery.
Some people kick on little expense
when it comes to running down these
criminals, which usually handicap the
officers, but if they only realize it, one
robbery will pay for the capture of
these people.
In the past week there was arrested
by D. c. Burton, in Richfeld, four
men, some of them who have not a
chance on earth to escape penitenti-
airy sentence, and by Sheriff Hart and
his deputies of Haley five men, who
have good start for the pen. When
the officers are ridding community of
undesirables at that rate, they are do
ing untold good for their respective
settlements and should be encouraged
in every manner possible.
The preliminaries of the parties ar
rested here will probably be held one
day this week.

Magnificent Display
Farmers of the Richfeld Tract DISPLAY
Products That Cannot Be Beat
Any Where on Earth

Richfield day has come and gone, anC
while the crowd was not as large as
was expected, it was success, never
theless.
The display of grains and vegetables
was one of the finest that was ever
witnessed in any community, and the
farmers of the tract were surprised
that such things had grown right here
in their midst and them not realize il
until they were placed on display.
The decorations were in charge of
Jim Pearson and he received many COM
plements on the tasty manner in which
he had things arranged, and he demon
strated to the people of the Richfsld
tract, that he knew how to arrange
displays as well as how to raise them.
The speaking was well attended. and
was very interesting to all who heard
them. Professor L. ARCHER, of the
University of Idaho, Don H. Bark, who
has charge of irrigation Investigations
in Idaho, and John V. Mcpherson,
State Horticulturist, being the speakers
and every one of them were well
posted on their subjects.

SPEAKERS RETURN

State Horticultural Inspector Nc
Pherson has returned from visits to
three fairs, including those who were
held at Albion, American Falls and
Richfield. At these points he made
addresses to the people along lines of
interest in horticultural work. He
said that the exhibits at these points
were excellent and that the fruit, es-
pecially, was fine The best of these
exhibits will be sent to the state fair
in Boise.
At American Falls last Thursday
the dry land farming exhibits were the
features of the day The commissioner
thinks that these were good and that
they effectually showed the growth of
the state in the last few years. Grain
and potatoes were among the best ex-
hibits there. A barbecue was held in
connection with the fair.
At Albion, Ex-Governor Br rady, Pro-
fessor Osborne of the state university,

connected with agriculture. At Rich

over the entire state, and had not yet
visited a place that could beat the
Richfield display.
There was corn on exhibition that
for size and quality would make the
corn belt ashamed of itself, their was
onions that could not be duplicated in
California or any other country,
pumpkins that weighed so pounds,
cabbage that weighed II pounds, pop
corn, as good as was ever saw, toma-
toes that for color and smoothness
could not be beat and watermelons and
cagtaloupe that would pass for the pro-
ducts of the famous Rocky Ford, any
place on earth. In fact, there was
everything there that could be raised
in any climate in the world, except
bananas and oranges and they would
have been on display too, if the
country had been old enough for the
trees to bear.
Taken all the way through the meet
ing was a grand success, and every
thing that was on display, would be
prize winner if taken to any fair in the
United States.

POOR LAW

Idaho has a law that compels the
teachers of counties, to attend ar
institute held at Pocatello, one week in
October of each year, that is one of
the most undesirable laws that could
have possibly been passed.
1t is an injustice to all the counties
interested outside of Bannock county,
an injustice to the teachers, who are
compelled to attend, and an injustice
to the pupils, who are compelled to
lose weeks achooling just as they are
becoming interested in their studies
There is a weeks board for about 300
teachers, that is spent in Pocatello and
car fare for the same number, which
the various teachers have to pay, and
every district has to pay their teachers
for this week that is lost, and if there
is person in the state that derivss
any benefit from this institute outside
of the Pocatello boarding houses and
the Short Line, we have yet to hear of
them
A number of teachers have ex-
pressed themselves on this matter, and
all agree, that the institute is not
worth the price paid from any point of
view.

USEFUL KNOWLEDGE
Gained BY Secretary Fisher On
Western Trip

WASHINGTON, Sept. 80. -Recen
speeches delivered at various points
in the west by Hon. Walter l.. Fisher
give indication that the new secretary
of the interior has gained much use
full knowledge during the course OF
his summers trip, and will be pre-
pared to give the west what it has
long needed from his department, g
square DEAL While a conservationist,
Secretary Fisher has made it plain
that he believes in conservation that
means stagnation. But above all also
he has declared fatty for the imam on
the land, who is the man the west
needs, and must have if it is to
have development. During the few
weeks he has been in the west, Secre-
tary Fisher has discovered that much
of the unpopularity of his department
grows out of the laxity with which it
has been prone to do business; he
learned that there is much discomfort
because honest settlers, after comply
ing with the law, have been unable to
get patent; he found that many other
settlers have been interferred with by
special agents or other government
agents, who have made it impossible
for them fully to comply with the law,
even were they so disposed; he has
learned of great delays in passing upon
questions of title, and particularly in
cases where charge of fraud has been
raised. This delay, the secretary has
promised, must be done away with,

ANOTHER NEW TOWN
Corral Depot Site to Be South
of Present Location on
Carpenter Land

Robert Carpenter has returned from
Richfeld, having been called to that
place by the officials of the Central
Idaho Railroad Company, and while
there he learned that his land had been
chosen for the location of the depot to
serve the people of Corral and suf-
fcient side tracts would be built to
handle the trade of that section.
The competition for the depot site at
this point has been rather keen, and at
least half dozen different groups have
tried to secure the plum. Now that
the matter is settled, it seems certain
that the warning elements will join
hands and unite in making their town a
credit to the valley.
The parties who will have charge of
the promotion of the townsite are out
side men, and The Courier was unable
to get their names, the parties at inter-
est not caring to make that announce
ment at this time.
1t is not likely that much work will
be done at the depot site this fall. =

which means, in brief, that the honest
settlers will receive his patent just as
speedily as the dishonest Speculation
will be dispossessed. If the west
benefits to that extent from the sum-
mer trip of Secretary Fisher. it will
have gained something it has not had
in many long year.
Secretary Fisher, though an eastern
man, appears to have done something
the predecessors could not or would not
do, he has acquired the western view
point of public land questions. That is
what the west asked of other secretar-
les, but the appeal was in vain. AT
that the west did not suffer from too
rigid administration of land laws until
Secretary Hitchcock entered the cabi-
net. Temperamentally, Mr.. Hitchcock
was not fitted for cabinet duty, for he
was a man of narrow vision, suspicious
by nature, and utterly out of harmony
with the west. He always proceeded
on the assumption that every man
seeking to acquire public lands in the
west was trying to achieve his end in
violation of the law, and under his ad-
ministration, the interior department
became constant hindrance to the
homeseaker and entryman True Sec
retary Hitchcock did uncover some
land frauds, and a great todo was made
of it, but while he saved the govern
ment few thousand acres sought by
petty grafters, he unblushingly, but
without knowing what he
was doing, turned over to several land
grant railroads hundreds of thousands
of acres they should never have had;
many times as much land as he saved
through his land fraud prosecutions.

yet at the point where we are willing
to swap fair dealings for the rantling
of demagogues and incompetents.
The companies now on the ground are
governed by contracts which cannot be
changed by reputation and big stick
talk, and Idaho may safely count that
no further capital will come into the
state for investment until the present
day agitation and cheap political clap
trap against the development COM
panies is replaced by en- altitude of
fair dealing.
We suggest to Richfield farmers
that they have been moderately well
treated and that membership in
leagues" organized for the benefit
of thrifty agitators who expect to ex-
plot them for fees and political adj
vantage can well be passed up.

of this matter. Without animosity or
prejudice for anyone We would like
Richfeld people to know the facts in
order that they may act with full
