No FRIENDSHIPS IN LAW

Speaking of Judge Walters de-
cision in the Rice case wherein an
entryman refused payments to the
land and water company on the
South Side tract on the grounds
of incompletion of the system, the
Chronicle. of Twin Falls, says:
There is considerable surprise ex-
pressed by land owners that Judge
Walters ruled as he did, as he has
always been regarded as friendly
to the interests of the farmers"
There have been altogether too
many rulings by judges in favor
of interests toward which they vert
friendly. Judges are not supposed
To be CHOSEN to reender decisions
other than to Interpret the law.
When Judge Walters hears
rase. personal friendships are not
as evidence. Southern
Idaho will support Judge Walters
for place in the chief court or
HE state and The fact that his de-
-iSious have hinged strictly on law
makes him The unanimous choice
Of attorneys who practice in his
court Wendell lrrigationist.

UNUSUAL INTEREST SHOWN IN
FAIR AND FESTIVAL

With the lntermount ain Fair and
its attendant Rainmaker's Festival,
less than three weeks in the future
interest throughout the state seems
to be intense. From many points
without the state applications for
space from manufacturers are
pouring into the committees Of
fees. From all indications at the
present time. it is certain that adj
ditionaI stalls and booths will have
TO lie constructed to accommodate
the rapidly increasing number of
applications.
When the preparations were
started, tie committee made pro-
vision for an immense increase in
the number of exhibits over the
last year, but it was developed that
even the extra space provided will
not nearly accommodate the num-
her of exhibitors. Work will be
commenced Immediately on the
constitution of much additional
space.
In Boise and the surrounding
country, the one topic of CONVEX
sation is the Fair and the Rain
makers Festival. Never before in
the history Of The city. have the
people been so Interested in the
success Of a public venture. Every
one seems to realize the immense
amount of good for the state that
can lac deriNde from such cele-
bratlon as The Rainmaker's Fes-
tiVal: especially at this time, when
the crops OF nearly every state
east OF the Rocky Mountains will
be failures, while Idaho will enjoy
one Of he most bountiful harvests
ia the history of the state.
Interest in The fair has been
ar as d o. greater extent than
ever efore in other sections of
the Stale. aud exhibits from prae-
tically every county in the state
will be in is place.
In addition 10 the ordinary ex-
hihiis. the fair management has Sc
cured many interesting features
that are sure to interest the
throngs, among them being
genuine Ostrich farm, showing in
Truthful manner the way in which
these mammoth birds are raised.

MAKES GOOD SALE OF sPUDs

J. =. Perrin, whose sale of grow
ing potatoes has been the subject
of no little comment, states that
next year lie hopes to plant quite
an acreage in spuds, for he feels
that the Gooding soil is especially
adapted to the maturity of the fin
est potatoes grown on The conti-
nent
This year Mr.. Perrin grew 30
acres of potatoes. At the price at
which he concluded his sale, these
will yield him 5000 per acre. When
10 is considered that This is the first
crop on the land, and that it is
Just out OF sagebrush, some idea
may be had of the availability and
amabiily of Gooding soil for
potatoes.
Mr. Perrin reserved for local
sales 5 acres of the thirty, and sold
to Dr. Cook, of Lincoln, Nebr., one
half of the balance, in sacks at the
ear, unsorted. for 800 per hum
dred. This is considered a big
price for unassorted spuds. Stood

WHY SOME TOWNS GROW

An exchange says the reason
some towns grow is because there
are men of push and energy in
lheSl who are not afraid to spend
their time and money to boom their
towns. Wherever they go they tell
OF the advantages of their city,
they write about them in every let
ter, they send circulars and news
papers to all whom they think they
can get to visit their city, and
when anyone visits them they treat
him so kindly that he falls in love
with them and their city at once.
ii is enterprise and everyone pull
ing together that makes a progress
siNe town, and do not let this fact
escape your memory.
To hear every person say some
think pleasant about its people and
its interests is the surest, quickest
and easiest way to make town
attractive to a stranger. One Of the
best ways in which to make a town
and to draw other peO-
pie to it is for every man and every
woman to have a pleasant word for
the people and the town generally.
Talk up your town if you would
have others come to you. Talk
up your town if you would feel {
an interest in it and have its peo-
pie feel an interest in you.

sell TO the farmers on easy terms
This the directors did, with the re-
suit that the factory has been run
ming full time ever since. The
farmers found dairying very pro-
fitable and the cows soon paid for
themselves.
The -Four State Fair attempts
to stimulate interest in these lines,
with a view of adding to the reye-
nue. of the farmers Of the Inter-
Mountain states many millions Of
dollars annually.
