ing up of bonds.

! ing up Of bonds.
The warrant Of seizure had been
ssued by the local justice. and un-
ier the law this officer was empow-
red to hold an inquisition, summon
ng whom he pleased to testify and
ompelling them to answer questions
regard to the matter In fulfill
aent of this duty the justice sum
noned nearly every man in the town.
he stories told by these sometimes
unwilling witnesses were at least il
uminating. They disclosed the fact
hat not only had liquor been secured
Without difficulty from Dr. Baugh.
)ut also that on occasional trips to the
county seat a number of business
houses there were found to be doing
very extensive liquor business
Prior to and during the holding of
his inquisition there was good deal
jf uneasiness evinced, not only by
hose who had been summoned - ap-
Dear, but also by number Of others
that the justice had left unsum-
noned This uneasiness extended as
ar as Shoshone, and a number of
persons there are reported to save
ound it pleasant to visit Salt Lake
and other points in neighborins states
while the inquisition was on.
Comfy Attorney Called in.
After the inqGisition had drawn out
he secret knowledge Of good por-
ion of the population in regard to
he liquor traffic. County Attorney
Boutwell, was called in, and the re-
suits Of the investigation shown him.
Then the actual prosecution of DR..
3augh was commenced He was al
'eady awaiting trial on several
.harges, and others were filed. 1t
vas then proposed that if he would
lead guilty, pay the fine imposed and
uit the business, the other charges
would not be pushed
IctiOn Against Others Not Probable.
1t is not thought likely that the
Ulcers will take advantage of the
vidence secured against other par
les at Shoshone and elsewhere by
he inquisition, and that no further
will grow directly out
f the trial. It is reported that those
lformed against have been quietly
and have expressed a deter
lination to quit the liquor business
t least until it has been legalized.

During his residence here, Mr..
Mcconnell has at all times proved
himself booster and by his every
act has shown that he had the well

regrets to see him leave.
When there was a move on foot
for the betterment of the people or
any public Improvement he was al

Law Enforcement
AS They See Us Abroad In Regard to
the Search and Seizure Proceed
ings Instituted Against Baugh

Statesmna
The story comes from Lincoll
county of how an effort to stol
''bootlegging9 in RichReld was car
riel out, and the result of the effort
which in the telling has deyelopel
dramatic and other possibilities.
Word reached this city yesterday
that Dr. C. J. Baugh of Richheld had
Been sentenced to serve a term o.
hrae months in the county Jail of Lin
aoln county and pay a fine of $500 by
Judge Walters on Wednesday, Dr.
8augh had previously pleaded guilty
10 q charge OF engaging in Illicit liquoi
rafic. He is now serving a term in
the county Jail It is reported that
this conviction will result in the doc
tor losing his license as a pracicine
physician and also his license as E
pharmacist. Dr. Baugh, it is under
stood, VIII leave the state ct once.
Throughout the past summer and
Il in Richfeld, conditions have beer
deplorable Railroad construction
from that place has been very active
and the town constantly filled up with
coming and going Drunken
ness aud disorder are reported to have
been alarmingly Dreyalent and the
peace officers apparently unable to
cope with it, or to remedy conditions.
The city council, after several aborhye
efforts to stop the sales Of liquor and
destructive drugs, appealed to one Of
he citizens to inaugurate a plan.
After consultation with the sheriff Of
ne county. it was decided to make use
Of the search and seizure statute
passed at The last regular session.
About a month ago, after consider
abls watchfulne5s it was learned that
4 large shipment Of liquors consigned |
o Baugh's drug store had just been
'eceived and a four-horse dray load |
aken to the store. A decoy sale of
iquor was made for a party who was
lot present Then the search and ]
seizure warrant was sworn to, and +
iervice made by the town marshal

lroached, barrel Of diluted alcohol

PLANT MORE TREES

The Recorder would suggest that the time IS
about ripe for the calling Of meeting to discuss bet
ter roads for the Richfeld tract; which probably
means to look forward to the formation of a Good
Roags District
1t will be necessary to raise quite a sum of mon
ey, probably $40 600 even a little more to lay out
really good road system in the territory that would
be included This would build bridges, grades
drains make cuts where they needed, and if the
money well expended would SO expedite travel
as to make our roads the peer Of any in the state
AS they now the only merit they have is that
they not quite bad as they might be- 1t costs
every farmer much more for the wear and tear on
harness and wagons for extra horse feed for time
lost on the road that he would find his part of the
good roads tax the easiest burden and the best bar
gain he ever took up.
The Recorder would like few communications
on this subject, preliminary to a tract meeting to
talk it over and start something early thesping
as it is feasible to begin work

Z he Hog Industry
Does II Pay to Be Hog---NOt In Id
aho, According to Statistics---Life
Too Short TO Suit the Hog

Idaho agricultural literature has q
tendency Of late to run to hogs. Il is
admitted on ell sides that this sudden
enthusiasm is justified in view of the
admirable facilities in the irrigated
belt for the cheap production Of pork.
1t is generally conceded that hogs
will not thrive on alfalfa alone, but
alfalfa can be made the basis of hog
iaising-the cornerstone, so to speak,
of hog structure which will reach
10 the limit Of any mans capacity for
business. With small amount Of
grain during the pasture season, and
about six weeks fattening upon roots
and grains, hogs can be produced in
Southern Idaho for about cents per
pound, which includes interest on in
yestment in land, interest on invest
ment in stock, labor, feed, freight and
marketing
Portland, Boise, Seattle, Spokane,
Los Angeles and San Francisco are
developing packing industries which
permit shipments from the great plants
Of Chicago, Kansas City and Omaha
only because the supply of live stock
is not sufficient to meet their full de-
mand The Portland and Seattle mar
kets have ruled better for two years
past on hogs than Chicago or Omaha
This means that Idaho is adjacent to
a good market, which is steadily grow
ing in Importance. Within the space
of time required for the development
Of well established farms in Southern
Idaho there will grow up in the Pacific
coast cities nearest at hand ample
markets for eTergthiEy produced.
Imbued with an abiding faith in
Southern Idaho our statistician took up
an investigation Of the hog industry
and submits the following statement
to prove that it does not pay to be a
hog in Idaho-that is, from the view
point of the hog The transition from
pig to chops, hams, bacon and lard is
tco much accelerated and life is soon
over. His statement follows:
Experts assert that brood sows
cared for can produce two lit
ters per year for four years or longer
without detriment to the stock. Let
Us assume therefore that we select {
April first and October first as the time t
for new litters; assume that sows will |
raise an average Of five pigs to each {
litter and that one half the pigs will be I
SOW pigs. Assume that SOW pigs can
be bred at nine months OF age and {
thereafter every six months. Assume [
that all hogs are marketed but once
each year, namely, about New Years,
and that no Spring pigs are carried be- il
yond the New Years marketing, but b
hat Fall pigs are carried over one win 3
-er. This will have the effect of t
nine month and fifteen month f
logs upon the market, but will obvi- h
lte the necessity for feeding any big g
logs except brood sows through the p
winter. Assume also that nine c
months hog will sell net for $1,000 and p
fifteen months hog for $1,000. The Il
assumed do not vary widely il

Sure and Profitable
This Years Developments VIII Mean
Much to Idaho and Most Of it Will
Have to Be Home Capital

6orton's resignation as director was
accepted, and Mr. Kays was elected to
dl the vacancy. This is the states
holding company, which viii own and
manage the canal system constructed
by the Idaho Irrigation company, af-
Ter it has been accepted by the state
land board
Work on the Camas Prairie rail-
road from Richfeld to Taft, about
20 miles west of Soldier, has been at
a standstill during the winter sea
son. Construction trains are being
run to the crossing Of the Malad,
about where the road enters Camas
prairie A temporary bridge has
heen constructed at the crossing of
Big Wood River about three miles
below the dam OF the Magic reservoir,
but at the Malad crossing the work
Of bridging the stream has not been
completed The railroad company
has put in siding about a mile and
a half west of the Magic dam, and
it is possible that an attempt will
be made to build up a little trading
point there Another trading point
will undoubtedly grow into being at
Burns, about 10 miles northwest OF
Richheld.
The Idaho Irrigation company, ~, Nj. Mr.
Mcconnell said, was holding about IS
feet Of water in the reservoir. but an
effort was being made to keep sufi-
eient water in the main canals Of the
company to keep the settlers in stock
water throughout the winter. The
filing Of the reservoir Will be com
menced as soon as winter breaks.
There is apparent certainty Of a suf-
icient water supply this year Be
fore the last storm it was known that
here was more than three feet Of
packed snow on the Galena divide.
With the ordinary storms of January
nd February prevailing, this would
insure very heavy high SHOWS Just
1t present there is less snow at the
Magic dam than in Richfeld, nearly
000 feet lower.

Statesman

! statesman
|. w. Mcconnell, manager of the
idaho irrigation company, was in the
city yesterday from Richfeld, and in
discussing the situation in regard to
The Development of irrigated Idaho,
said that the future was full Of prom
Use, although it was probable that the
state would have to content itself for
the present with slower growth than
had prevailed during the years CT in
tense activity in the construction of
lhe various irrigation plants. He
feels that Idaho has reached the
state where the future depends on its
own efforts without securing the aid
Of great sums of eastern capital.
Mr. Mcconnell said that develop
ment on the Richaeld and other
tracts Of his company was progress
ing as rapidly as could be expect
ed, considering the lack OF surplus
means on the part Of the people, and
the general stringency in the money
market, and consequent inability to
secure working capital, except
through the income from cultivated
lands. During the coming season it
IS expected that q large area Of new
land will be cleared and placed under
cultivation. while the land already
developed partially, will be more
fully used It is expected that the
crop output from the lands under the
Wood River system should be more
than doubled during the coming year

gineer Of the Idaho Irrigation COM

Prof. Aicher was one of the speakers
on Richiield day and his address will
be remembered favorably by all who
heard it. With such a staff led by Pro-
lessor Olin Richfeld looks forward to
the institute with keen anticipation
1t may be taken for granted that
these gentlemen. interested in educa-
tional enterprises and the spread of
information, will be prepared to dis
cuss the crops and agricultural devel-
opment best suited to the Richfield
tract 1t is urged that persons who
attend come with definite plans in mind
as to the subjects upon which they
wish information in order that by well
considered questioning the desired in
formation may be brought out.
Richfied has been we'll treated by
The Educational and Publicity agencies
of the state government due to a recog-
milton OF the growing Importance of
the tract and the town, and to the en-
tnusiastic support which has always
been in evidence here. We can have
no better reputation than that which
arises from the strong support of edu
cational enterprises. We urge an at
tendance for this institute and in inter
est in its proceedings which will keen
the reputation already attained in
good standing. Let every farmer, ev-
cry business man, every stockman
come and bring their wives and fami-
lies along.
