the Wilson Column.

On presidential electors Idaho stands
q good chance to divide its vote be-
tween Taft and Wilson, according to
latest returns obtainable, but with
chances favorable to Wilson by about
500 plurality. With Custer. Adams and
Oneida county not reported upon presi-
dental electors Wilson stands 1103 in
the lead. Custer county will certainly
return a plurality for Wilson and
Adams county is expected to do So,
while Oneida county will give a strong
plurality for Taft but not nearly so
strong as 1t gave Haines. Leaving
Adams county tie and allowing a lead
Of 200 for Wilson in Custer county and
estimating that Oneida county went to
Taft by 500. this leaves Wilson a lead
in the state by sos votes. Oneida
county's plurality could run as high as
1900 for Taft and still the Wilson cleo
tors would be slightly in the lead. but
in either event 1t will take the off,
cial count to determine whether Taft
or Wilson shall get the electoral vote
of Idaho or whether 1t will be divided
between them as now seems quite like
ly, inasmuch as 1t IL well known that
many voters fail to vote for the entire
four electors upon their tickets. The
first name upon the ballot always gets
more votes than other candidates, so

report that Governor Hawley might
appoint Mr.. Dubois in punishment for
the solid vote of the southeast they

elected. That this report is taken with
seriousness is evident from kilograms
received last night from Salt Lake,
where they had been given unuues-

petitions and kilograms urging the ap-

much left undone.
There will be quite largeforce

and raising the cement core to
its full height. There isyet about
twenty feet OF earth to be put in
place but the space on top is now
very narrow and foot a dav
was being raised at it's present
width when operations ceased.
Had the weather remained op-
ell about twenty days longer all
the earth would have been in

raping to be done so that AS the
water rises the son will not be
interfered with and this will con-
tinue all winter.

Beet Crop
Harvested.
VERY SATISFACTORY SHOWING.

The last car Of beets were load
ed at our local station Tuesday
last, making "a total of 81 cars
that has been shipped from this
end OF the valley, or Il total ton
mage Of 2, 200 tons Of beets.
The average yield per acre for
the first year being practically
ten ton per acre. This is cvnsid-
cred a splendid yield III view OF the
fact that the matter of raising
beets was not brought to the
attention of the farmers till in
the winter, too late tor tall plow-
ing. consequently the results OBJ
tanned this year was from spring
blowing and with the land in
poor shape tor good crop.
In many instances the yield on
some small pieces ran as high as
20 tons per acre and the lowest
about 8 tons.
There will be $40, ,45O received
by the farmers of this section this
year. The farmers are very much
encouraged over the showing
made and in nearly all cases they
wish to increase their acreage for
next year.
This year has practically dem
onstrated that this valley is es-
pecially adapted for the growing
of beets and as a result of the
encourageing showing the acre
age will increase three fold for
the coming year.
