Illinois, recognized as one of the
pivotal states on which will turn
the nomination of presidential can
didates for both of the great parties,
held presidential primaries Tuesday,
and rolled up truly enormous major
tiles for Roosevelt, republican, and
Clark, democrat. There really were
no seconds in either party, so far
ahead were these two candidates.
1t is too early to assert positively,
Just who will win in either party;
but with the big Illinois delegations
Roosevelt and Clark look now to be
parties Taft was nowhere in this
great popular vote
1t is becoming more certain every
day that Idaho will endorse these
two candidates, or at least will be
in position to support them. Few
political students yet believe ths
President Taft can ever secure the
Idaho delegation. II is almost GER

The most important event in To-

change in management in the Rich

The hotel was opened three years
ago. by the Idaho Irrigation Com
pany, and had been built at cost
of $4,000 as a part of the COM
panys town investment. 1t started
out with a fine patronage, in the

is based on their prospects Of get

Negotiations with the sugar fac

tory at Carey, if railroad can be
secured. 1t is proposed to build a
spur from at or near Tycura, about
II miles to Carey and the railroad
people are understood to be ready
to plan for the road if the factory
is assured. The people are ready
and anxious to contract to supply
the required acreage of beets, and

do business there.
A sugar factory at Carey would
be near enough to Richfield to be
an easy market for any beets that
might be raised here. 1t would be
hard, if not impossible to interest
enough farmers here in raising su-
gar beets now or ever, to make
factory possible here. Dairying and
fruit and stock raising are consid-
cred a good deal more profitable,
here, and few would raise bets as

FIELD PEAS FOR THE FARM.
Excellent Crop for Stock Feed--~A
Good hing for the Farm.

Good hing for the Farm.
James Pearson. director of the
company farm adjoining town, ad-
vises the planting of field peas as
one Of the best crops that can be
raised en- the Richfield tract.
The peas are drilled in, at the
rate Of one bushel or 60 pounds Of
seed to the acre They can be al
lowed to ripen so that the seed can
be threshed in the fall, but the most
profitable way to feed the crop is
to cut it before it is ripe, and
feed it to stock without threshing.
Stock relish and thrive on q pea
Ciet and the crop is so clean, so
easily harvested, and has such high
feed value that it is one of tn
very best. Mr.. Pearson has raised
peas here, and recommends them as
especially good fer this section.
While alfalfa is recognized as
the one great farm crop for this
section, all stock will do better to
have some variety of feed, and the
field pea is recognized as one of
the most profitable additions to the
farm bill of fare
