In = good game. from start to finish,
the High School boys defeated the Po.
eatello Academy here, last Friday.
The game was hotly contested. and af.
forded no end of amusement to the
good crowd which turned out to see it.
Oliver did his best in the twiriing line,
and his best proved to be good enough,
giving the home boys the game, with q
good margin of 6 to /. 1t being the
first game for the boys, they certainly
have every reason to look forward to a
good season of base ball.
The boys went down to Pocs1Ello
Monday to play a return game viii the
Academy, and got theirs to the 16ne OF

we declare that the boys can beat the

day, and every day but Sunday.

$4,000 BUSHELS OF WHEAT.

Chas. 7. Cotant, who lives on a
homestead near Rockland called or
the Press force the other day and
gave a very interesting and instruc-
tive talk on homesteading in the
Rockland valley. Mr.. Cotant, is a
graduate of an eastern university and
practiced law for some time in Iowa
before coming to Idaho.
| A technical education and a splen-
did practice in his chosen profession
did not deter Mr. Cotant assuming the
hardships incidental to pioneer life on
a dry farm in Idaho; when the posi-
bilities Of the Rockland valley were
made known to him.
He has made many trips across the
continent, and being a keen observer
noticed the similarity in the soil, eli
mate and moisture here and in the
famous Palouse country. After giving
the mater careful consideration he
concluded that the possibilities of a
useful life on dry farm were greater
than the wealth and honors to be re-
ceived in the court room.
He induced his brothers to locate
here and now each of the three broth
ers have homestead and collectively
have leased about 500 acres additional
thereto. The first year, under ad-
verse circumstances, they raised
some $50 bushels of wheat on forty
acres of spring plowed sage brush
land.
The second year they produced some
5000 bushels from 500 acres, and the
prospects this year would indicate an
average of near 80 bushels per acre
on nearly 1000 acres. all in wheat.
Mr.. Cotant and his brothers run
their great wheat farm on a strictly
business basis, eliminating waste.
wherever possible. and are convers-
ant with the actual cost per bushel
Of the wheat they raise.
Mr.. Cotant was much pleased in
reading the recent achievements of
Mr.. Alvord. of Aberdeen, and pre-
dicted that that plant wizard would
add millions of dollars, BY introdue-
ing new varieties of clover. peas. corn
and beans and wheat, that would ad-
apt themselves in marvellous way to
local conditions. and would eventu-
ally replace the present wheat fields
with alternate fields of clover. peas,
corn. etc, and hasten the day when
all the products of the land will be
manufactured into butter, beef, pork.
poultry and eggs.

Miss Taylor. the popular teacher of
the Igo school, has added greatly TO
the appearance of the school house
there, by sensible and judicious ex-
penditure of the money realized from
the box supper and social. given by her
at the school house, some time during
the winter-mention of which was
made in the columns of this paper at
the time. She has purchased an Amer
lean flag 6xl0 feet, a small flag, 30
yards of bunting, a picture of Presi-
dents Washington and Lincoln and
handsome eight day clock. All OF
which now decorate the walls of the
schoolhouse. Her action in this matter
is worthy of emulation.
What Miss Taylor has done, ANY
teacher in the country can do and
without any expense to the district,
add greatly to the appearance of the
school house and also to the conven-
ience of both teacher and scholars OF
the school, A good clock in a sehoo,
'house is useful as well as ornamental.
The next thing in order is flag pole,
from which to suspend and unfurl ths
large flag. which we expect to see In
very short time.
The foregoing is one of the evidences
of the advancement of civilization an0
we hope to see others follow the ex-
ample.

LETS CONTRACT

$500, 900 Plant Assured Contracts
Let Yesterday---James A. Green
Company Secure Centzact---
Many Sub Contracts

The American Falls Power company
of which former Governor James H.
Brady, is the head, yesterday let a con-
tract to the James A. Green company,
constructing engineers, for the erection
of power plant at American Falls.
The contract price is $3.50, 600 but addi-
tions contemplated to the original con-
tract and which will be decided upon in
the next sixty days, will run the total
cost of the contract to near the half
million dollar mark. ~
The plant which is to be constulled
at once, will furnish additional 6ower
to Pocatello and will contain one unit
capable of generating 5000 horsepower.
The bnilding, raceway and dam to be
built, will be sufficient to generate 35,-
900 horsepower, and in this connection
it is said that Mr.. Brady will construct
an electric line from American Falls to
Pocatello and to other points in this sec
ton of the state. The rumors of the
construction of this trolley line has
been in the air for sometime and the
and the plans as drawn by Mr.. Brady's
engineers seem no bear out the rumors
of the line, az only one unit is to be in
stalled at the present time.
The remaining six units which will
be installed later would generate more
power than could be used by any of the
companies in which Mr.. Brady is inter-
ested.
The dam and raceway will be COM
pleted about January Is of next year
and the plant will deliver its first pow
er to the Pocatello lines about the mid
die of next February, according to the
present plans Of the power company
and the contractors. Until next spring
the 5000 horsepower will generate
about 500 kilowatts which win be de-
lvered into Pocatello over the lines of
the present power plant at American
Falls.
The work of constructing the plant,
raceway and dam will be under the
supervision Of A. ]. Wiley, the con-
sulting engineer of the Brady inter-
ests, who. with J. L. Savage, prepared
the plans and specifications upon
which bids were made for the con-
struction Of the new power plant

Turning Wheat Into Pork.

Lewiston, Idaho, May 4.-Special.
Lloyd Crosby, a farmer Of he Cot
tonwood section, delivered so head of
hogs to John Baer, buyer for Stanton
& Co., for which he received $95855,
or little better than $19.17 per head.
The hogs were of the Duroc Jersey
breed and averaged about 240 pounds
each.
Mr.. Crosby is one Of the successful
farmers Of this section and states
there Is no surer market for wheat
than by feeding to high grade hogs.
After concluding the deal today he
stated that he had secured fully $1.0O
bushel for the wheat used in prepar-
ing the hogs for market and that up
to the time Of feeding they had cost
him practically nothing. He said he
had kept careful figures on the results
of feeding and is prepared to state
that he can guarantee hemself rs
cents per bushel for his wheat any
time he can secure 5 cents per pound
for hogs. The price Of hogs has not
been below the 5 cent mark on Canas
prairie for number Of years and it is
believed many farmers win follow Mr.
Crosby's example and turn of more
