Herman j. Rossi-The political out
look in old Shoshone is fine. We will
give the entire Republican ticket from
the Taft electors down to the county
candidates one of our old time majori-
ties. We are not hankering after q
Democratic, administration. We do not
desire our mining and timber industrie
stricken down and l Judge that this
is true Of the people of other portions
of the state I'M reference to the agricul-
tural and stock raising industries.
Therefore, we will support President
Taft. We realize that no state is
more greatly benefited by the pro-
tective tariff system than is Idaho and
we do not propose to exert our efforts
to arrest her progress by assisting
either directly or indirectly the Demo
crats. want to say that the Republi-
cans of Shoshone are solidly behind
the state ticket Mr.. Haines is parti-
cularly strong in our county and is
recognized as business man who is
we'll qualified to give the state an
economical administration.
Senator Fred w. Gooding holds that
division in party ranks will accom-
plish nothing for either element of the
division and will but serve to contrib
ute to the success o. the political ene-
my. He states, ut is my opinion
that the sentiment for President Taft
is increasing daily. Roosevelt stands II q
show. A vote for him is partially a
vote for Wilson. To elect Wilson
means that Democratic tariff legisla-

and as a consequence of such legisla-
tion, 1daho's prosperity and progress
will be arrested and hard times will

Farmers Association have been put
ting their packing house in shape the
past week and will start moving the
Jonathan apples the first of this week
with a pack and quality second to
none in the state.
With the new sizing and grading
machine in operation and guaranteed
pack being put up the growers should
realize something like a price on these
apples this season, besides advertising
the fact that we can grow other
things besides. potatoes.
G. w. Carr. of the Pacific Packing
Co., who is directing the packing and
grading of the apples is very optimis-
tic regarding the future of B!ackfoot
as fruit growing section and has
the following to say:
During the past eight years l have
spent q great deal Of my time in the
largest apple growing districts of
California. Oregon, Washington, Col
orado, Utah and Idaho, and l was
more than surprised to find growing
here in Blackfoot, a heretofore un-
known apple growing district, quail
ity of apple that compares favorably
with those growing in any district
have visited. You are raising fruit
here that should be competing with
the higest class shipped from the
state to the eastern markets. instead
of being dumped upon the local mar
ket for price that doesn't cover the
raising, and the only way TO accom-
plish this is to build up grade and
pack worthy Of the patronage Of the
highest class trade in the eastern and
south western markets.
In entering into contract with a
distributing and selling agency like
the Pacific Packing Co., firmly be-
lieve that the Association has done
more to put Blackfoot on the map as
a fruit growing section than could
have been accomplished by any other
means.
The Pacific Packing Co. is an asso
citation Of number of the largest
growers in California, who number
of years ago were in the same posi-
tion that the B!ackfoot growers are
today-raising too much for the loca
market and unable to distribute theil
| f,u,i in, o-tn mo Wiz &c
without shipping to commission merch
ants, who too often take the returns
instead of the commission.
l will not attempt in this short
space to give you the history Of the
Pacific Packing Company but viii
say that the growers soon realized
that the selling was the big end ant
that there was no use in raising a
product without proper marketing
agency, and the Pacific Packing Com
pany is an outgrowth OF the old asso
citation. They found that the raising
and selling were two separate branch
es of the business and with selling
agency with its own men at the east
ern distributing points and in dali,
touch with all markets Of the countr.
the supply never equaled the deman
on their products.
In order to hold the highest clas
trade we have demanded that tn
lgrowers keep the grade and pack u
to a standard and today the Pacifi
Packing Co.'S name on a box Of e.
ira fancy apples conveys the sam
meaning to the buyer as sterling dot
in silver.
The policy Of the company is
handle the fruit intrusted to us in II
most careful and up-to-date mann'
possible SO that each car sold wi
mean a satisfied customer, pleas
grower and a demand for future ca
of the same brand.

OPINIONS OF RE-
PUBLICAN LEADERS

follow. Idaho's wealth consists large
ly in, undeveloped resources and pro-
gress is dependent upon development
Of these resources. No other state
perhaps is more dependent upon the
protective tariff system. Our timbers,
minerals, wool and agricultural prod
ucts all need protection and if Wilson
is elected and his tariff ideas are en-
bodied into laws, these industries will
most assuredly suffer in such man
ner as to most assuredlY bring about
a repition Of the hard times we wit
messed under ClevelandI and all busi-
ness and development in the state will
come to standstill. There may be
a choice between Taft and Roosevelt,
but no Republican wants Democratic
administration. AS for our Congress
sional and state tickets, l desire to
say that they are composed of able
and good men and we should get be-
hind the State Committee and do our
part towards insuring their election
by large majority. This is the time
for us to stand together To assist in
our own defeat by our political enemy
will not serve to get what we want
in reforms. It will be vastly easier to
surrender opportunities; for getting re
suits than it will be to recapture them
after we have once surrendered them
want to emphasize this idea,
Honorable Fred E. Fisk of Canyon
County:-In our county we will give
very large majorities for both the Re.
publican state and county tickets. DIFF
ferences of opinion as to national af
fairs, will not affect our state ant
county tickets for we recognize that
these tickets are composed of good
men. Progressives and conservative,
will be found working shoulder te
shoulder SO far as the Congressional
state and county affairs are involved
The only hope the Democrats have O
success is in division in our party
and we do not propose to contribute
to their success.

ARTESIAN WATER
New Field Being Developed
Near Stafford

Northeast Of Stafford about nine
miles new artesian belt is being
worked on. with good prospects of
artesian water,
About two miles south of the
Fumerole, mines Messrs. Boardwell,
of Colorado, are now drilling for
artesian water, with good prospects
of getting it.
Most people say they are crazy,
but they said the same thing Lees
several years ago when they started
to dig for artesian water on the
mesas south of Stafford, but their
efforts proved great artesian belt
and placed thousands of acres of
fine land under cultivation.
The Boardwells are practical men
and are not depending on anyone
for support, but are putting down
this well from a scientific stand
point and are thoroughly convinced
that they will be rewarded with
artesian water.
Should they succeed in getting an
artesian flow it means that thou
sands of acres, just across the river,
and north of Stafford, will become
prosperous homes. ..

BATTLE OF JIMlNE2
First Real Fight of .Mexico's :
Youngest Revolution

JIMINEz, March 26.--The final
phase of the five days battle be-
tween the government and revolu-
tionary forces terminated tonight, to
all appearances with the defeat of
federals. The main force of federa's
was defeated at Corralitos yesterday
Today in a spasmodic fight begin
ming in the morning and ending at
dark, a column of federals were
sent against the rebel base at Jimi-
naz and was defeated in a fight
three miles outside the city limits,
The column repu'sed was detacE-
ment sent out last night to endeavor
to outfank the rebels and take a
base at this city. The rebels were
fully aware Of the movement and
without an enemy in front formed
in force here and drove back the
advancing Maderistas.
The fcderals, led by Gen. Aubert,
were evidently in ignorance of the
defeat Of the main body at Cor
ralitos. Orozco personally directed
the rebel operations. The report that
Aubert was supported by Villa
proved TO be untrue. He possessed
superior artillery but was outnum-
bered.

WILL PAY CLAIMS

The Arizona Eastern Railroad
Company has given certain desig-
mated agents the authority to pay
claims for loss or damage, in amounts
not to exceed S25. 90 on any particu-
lar shipment, as soon as the neces-
sary accounts to support their claims
have been presented to the agent,
and, he, in his turn has time to ver-
ify same. In cases where one or
more complete packages are short
from any shipment, these claims
with other classes of claims. must
be filed in the usual manner. This
is very commendable on the part of
the railroad company and no doubt
will be much appreciated by the
customers in many cases.

the place next morning to do the
janitor work, and that when Wans!ee
