OIL LANDS ENTRY WITHDRAWN
Federal Government Stops Acquire.
ment of Title to Public Land.

Pending the enactment of legisla-
ton for properly disposing of oil and
gas deposits on the public domain, and
because it seems desirable to retain
certain of these deposits for use as
fuel by the American navy, all public
lands known or thought to contain
valuable deposits of oil or gas are
withdrawn from all forms of disposal.
During the fiscal year 1910-1911, on
the recommendation of the United
States Geological Survey, 640,604 acres
of possible oil land in California and
Wyoming were withdrawn from entry,
and 1,232,719 acres in the same states,
shown by field examination to be non
oil lands, were restored. All oil lands
in Alaska, comprising an unknown
area, were withdrawn during the year.
In the early part of the year the out
standing Withdrawals, which had been
made by the secretary of the interior,
were ratified, confirmed, and continued
in full force and effect by the presi-
dent under the act of June 25, 1910

MAY DOUBLE TRACK 0. ST..
Officials Expected to Take up Matter
Of improvements.

Double tracking of the Oregon Short
Line from Granger to Huntington at
an early date may be decided upon at
the conference of Hartman officials
which is now being held at Salt Lake
City, according to statements given
out by those in close touch with the
situation. While nothing authentic as
to the intention of the conference has
been given out, there is strong reason
to believe that the matter of double
tracking will be thoroughly discussed
The Hartman lines have set aside
$75,0O00OO for betterments, extensions
and improvements, and it is believed
that the Idaho division of the Oregon
Short Line, which is the most import
ant division in the transcontinental
system, will receive the lions share of
the big ppropriation.-Nam Leader.

COWARDLY DEED.
Unknown Party GirdIes Every Tree in
5-acre Orchard West of Bull,

Not in the history of Southern Idaho
has there come to light a more con
temptible piece of trickery than that
reported by Harry Smith, who lives a
mile and half west of Bull. On going
to his orchard Friday to inspect it af-
ter the thawing of the snow for rabbit
depredations, he found to his amaze
ment and chagrin that every tree in
his 5-acre orchard had been girdled by
a sharp instrument within an inch of
the ground. Apparently the michief
mad been done before the snow and
this had prevented an earlier discov-
cry.
Mr.. Smith is a quiet and reserved in
dlVidual and highly respected in his
neighborhood. When asked bv rem
resentative of the Herald if he knew
VINO committed the outrage, he re-
piled to the effect that he would call
no names or make no insinuations. He
is known to have but one enemy in his
helghborhood, and his neighbors are
positive that that particular party was
the one who did the work.
Herald representative visited the
orchard Saturday evening and found
the trees in the condition above stated
lucy "Sle INo-SedF-Olu apples plant
ed last spring and had made an excel
lent growth. Every tree had been
glrdled by sharp knife as close to
the ground as the operator could work.
Not one OF the trees can be saved.
Laws in some states deal very
roughly with horse thieves for the
simple reason that it is such an easy
matter for the theft to be committed.
Similar laws would be we'll to the
point in the fruit growing districts of
the northwest relative to iniuring
trees, for the same reason. Talk of a
tar and feather party for the supposed
perpetrator of the girdling act was
freely discussed on the streets Satur-
day afternoon, but no action was TAX
en- upon any of the suggestions.
Far be it from us to advocate yio-
lence or fraternize with Judge
Lynch bnt if there is any crime that
could be committed save homicide
which could force community to take
the law into its own hands, we have
yet to come in contact with it. No
community is safe with criminal of
this kind in its midst. A man who will
do dirty trick of that nature will not
stop at anything.-Buhl Herald

WILL COVER DITCH.
Menace to Children on Eighth Avenue
VIII Be Removed.

For some time the residents along
Eighth avenue of this city have been
agitated over the danger to the little
children in the uncovered irrigation
ditch which runs the whole length of
that avenue. The matter was brought
to head at the regular council meet
ing when some of those citizens inter-
ested, with Attorney e. M. Sweeley as
spokesman, appeared before the city
council and asked that an improve
ment district be created to put in a
concrete flume and thus take away
the dread from the parents along that
avenue. For some time the residents
were in hopes that the matter could
be cared for by the Canal company,
which owns the ditch, but at last they
have decided to create the improve
ment district and take care of the mat
ter The council at an adjourned meet
ing Wednesday night agreed to create
the district and the Canal Company at
a meeting on the same night voted to
give one thousand dollars toward the
flume which will cost approximately
$50 per lot. The plan is to make the
flume of concrete, similar to that re-

LYMAN WILL SELL fORDS.
Secures Agency for Twin Falls, Lin
coin and Cassia Counties.

Don Lyman, who has during the
past year driven Ford automobiles
with great success in his Jarbidge
stage line, has secured the agency for
That popular car for 1912 for three
counties, Cassia, Lincoln and Twin
Fails. Mr.. Lyman stated to the Times
that the ve-passenger car which is
being advertised this year at the re-
markably low price of $3.50 delivered,
is the best the factory has ever turn
ed out, with fully equipped parts, top,
wind shields, curtain, speedometer and
lamps. tWo-passenger runabout can
be purchased for $3.50, making it as
cheap to run a nobby Ford car as to
keep horse and buggy. Mr.. Lyman
expects carload of the cars some-
time during the next month.

Senator Sweeiey Shows the Great
Need OF Schools for Southern
Idaho. II

Seats were at premium Wednesday
noon for the luncheon given by the
commercial club when Senator NJ j.
SWeeley after the bountiful NEAL pro-
ceeded to outline the needs for an ag-
flcultural school in the southern part
or the state and outlined plans where
by such school could be obtained. In
introducing his subject Senator Swee-
ley outlined the location of the pres
ent educational institutions, showing
that in the north within a radius of
ten miles were three educational insti-
tutions, University of Idaho, Pullman
Agricultural college, Wash, and the
Idaho state normal at lewiston He
then dWelt upon the inaccessibility of
these institutions for the students of
the south, because of the railroad ac-
COmmodatiOnS. He then called atten-
ton to the educational institutions of
this section, Albion Normal and the
Pocatello Academy, which do give col
leglate courses. He stated further that
III the case of the normal students at
Albion that the state could send every
student east to college Transportation
inferred) for less money than it takes
from the state treasury for the eX-.
penses of the Albion students. He adj
vocated the combination Of the normal
with the academy.
Mr.. Sweeley then warmed up to his
subject and stated that inasmuch as
the southern part of the state would
for years to come be the agricultural
center that it was only just that the
agricultural institution should come to
this section to make it easy of access
to the students most concerned. Of
course he was of the opinion that Twin
Falls was the geographical center of
this farming section of the state and
that the school should be located in
this city.
In advancing a method of getting
such school Senator Sweeley gave
some interesting facts regarding the
balance of power in the state legisla-
ture, showing that if the south COM
bined it would be able to out vote the
northern part on the placing of an ag-
ricultural school. Mr. Sweeley was of
the opinion that proper agitation of
the subject would prepare the way
for legislation at the regular session
next year.

FOR BETTER LIGHTING.
Movement to Make Business Section
Brighter.

A move fathered by R. M. McCollum,
is receiving hearty support from all
the business men in the making of the
business section better lighted at
night The plan advocated by Mr.. Nc
Collum is to ask every business place
on the principal business streets to
have at least one light in the window
burning all night The expense of
the same would not amount to more
than dollar month and would be
money we'll invested in giving the
present darkened streets an air of
life and prosperity even after the
places are closed. Mr. McCollum stat
ed to the Times that the dark appear
ance of the streets at night was ex-
tremely noticeable to the tourists and
investors who haunt the streets as
long as there is live one with whom
to talk. Don't pass the matter up with
single good intention, but get your
window in line as soon as possible

Harry Erskine for violation of LIQUOR

Erskine being one of the prominent

wise charged with any violation of the
laws. Mr.. Erskine's cases were both
civil, In which he Is the plaintiff and
