GOOD YIELD IN SUNBEAM.
That Prosperous Section is Rapidly
Coming to the Front.

Andrew Fuelner was in American
Falls from Sunbeam Tuesday with
load of wheat which he raised
On his farm in that section. Three
years ago Mr.. Fuelner and son took
up homesteads in that section which
Is known as Sunbeam, and this crop
which they are marketing is taken
from land which was three years
ago in sagebrush and some from
land which was cleared year ago.
They had a field of 200 acres in
wheat this year which averaged a
few pounds over % bushel per acre.
Mr.. Fuelner says that a por-
ton of the wheat smothered ort
last winter on account of the very
heavy snow, but is well pleased
with the results they are securing.

Settlement is Surprising.

The settlement in the country to
the north and west Of here is sur
prising. Two years ago settlement
was quite general for a distance OF
twelve miles and scattering beyond
that. The settlement has extended
sixteen to eighteen miles now, and
scattering settlement extends be-
yond that, and in a short time
will be general much beyond the
present limit. Where there was the
cheapest kind of buildings two
years ago may now be found COM
Portable houses and barns, school
houses and churches are finding
their way. No part of the state has
developed more rapidly.

The power company has use for a
large amount of power during the
summer season in pumping water

HOSPITAL PROVING TO BE
A GREAT BENEFIT.
In Less Than Two Months Twenty
five Patients Have Received
Treatment. ~

When talk of building a hospital
at American Falls was first heard
tnree or four years ago, was thought
10 be only an idle dream of an
Idle dreamer. When work was be-
gun on a hospital two years ago,
it was thought by many that when
completed would only be a monu-
ment to somebody's folly. Even
when the work of arranging for
the opening of the hospital was
under way, it was thought by many
that it would have no patronage.
But In less than two months fifteen
patients have been received at the
hospital and ten received tratment
at home. Several operations have
been performed. At present there
are three patients at the hospital. 4
While the hospital is being con-
Quoted in temporary quarters it
lacks nothing for the care of pat
tents. 1t occupies the whole of the /
Keith building, two stories and
basement. The basement which (
Is clean and dry. is used az a
storage place for supplies and is
well fitted for this purpose. The

Receipts at the station show an
Increase for the month of November
Of over 400 per cent in car load

Of this total 81 cars were building

used in the work at the power plant.
Five cars of emigrants arrived THIS

SYMPATHY WASTED
A YEAR TOO SOON.
John ToevS Has Worse Tax Prob
lens to Face This Year
Than Last.

Last year the Press wasted a
lot of sympathy on John Toevs
whose taxes on new piece of land
near Aberdeen Increased from about
$50 in 1910 to s149 in 1911. The
Press got in too early. This year
his taxes on the same property
amount to S272. The Press thought
the limit was reached last Year, but
In this it was mistaken, and others
than Mr.. Toeys can bear testimony
TO that fact.
What is the cause of this increase
is the question that is being asked
by many Bingham county farmers,
but the answer has not been found.
Fart of it can be traced to the
support given Governor
Hawley by the present county ad-
and larger part, prob
ably to natural conditions. Bin
CHAM county's road and bridge tax
will always be heavy. Its bridge
tax is almost as high as the road
and bridge tax of Oneida county com
oined, and its road tax is higher still
A large amount is necessary for bot I
purposes in Bingham county. be-
cause of the number of bridges I
across Snake river and the hundreds
If bridges across the canals of the .
county.
The Press has pointed out for /
our years the fact that the inter
1sts of the people of Aberdeen and
-icinity did not lie in remaining in
3ingham county and our contention
s proven every time the assessor
nails tax notices.

NEW ELEVATOR READY.
The Evans Nero. Elevator VIII Re-
ceive Grain Tuesday.

The second big elevator for Am
erica Falls will open to receive
grain the first of next week, posi-
bly, on Tuesday morning. This big
structure has been constructed by
the Evans Mercantile company, who
nave been buying grain on the Am
er1can Falls market since there was
demand for market, and is of
wood and equipped with. the latest
elevator machinery. The elevator
has a capacity of $1,000 bushels of
grain besides a large vegetable cell
lar. A large work room is also pro-
Yided for cleaning machines.
Their present warehouse will be
annexed to the elevator to increase
their storage capacity and will be
SO arranged that the machinery of
the elevator can handle this grain

OF the elevator.

Robert E. Johnson. gospel singer
and soloist. These meetings were
In many ways a great success. The
number Of conversions may never be
definirely know but there has been
aroused a better religious and moral
sentiment in the community and
all feel that the coming of Mr.. John
son to the town has been Of great
oenefit. AS a result of these meet
ings the membership of the Method
lst church will be increased, the
attendance of the Sunday school en-
iarged and an Epworth League or
ganized which starts with promis-
ing activity.
The town considers itself highly
favored in having in it's midst for
three weeks such an accomplished
singer and soloist and gospel work
er as Mr.. Johnson and the verdict
Is there has been none better heard
here and nothing but the highest
praise is given him. Should he
favor this city with a visit again he

100000 BUSHELS
OF WHEAT RAISED
Increased Wheat Production
Evidence Of Development.
Twice as Much Wheat This Year
Than Last.-Farmers Will Re-
ceive Over Half Million
Dollars For Output.

The greatest proof of the worth
Mof a country Is it output and the
greatest argument that his section
OF Idaho is a wheat producing dis
s tr1ct Is the record of the wheat pro-
auction for the harvest just closed
" Enough wheat has been marketed
this fall so that close estimate
xof the total production can be made
and the figures given some time ago
are now proven to be in most cases
# too low. The receipts at this point
show that up to the present time
S87, 800 bushels have been marketed
sd and this does not represent over
nalf of the crop. A tax with the
Farmers in every direction out of
american Falls discloses the fact
that in their section perhaps half
5pf the crop has been hauled to the
market and half still remains stor-
nd at the farms. This will bring the
Rroduction of grain in that region
adbutary to American Falls to
otal of 100000 bushels.

tation for wheat have reached 228
