A meeting of the farmers CT the
Richfield tract was held Saturday

of what to do with the big potato

TIPPING RICHFIELD HOGS.
Company Farm Sends a Carload to
The Portland Market.

j. G. Pearson expects to leave
about Saturday for Portland with
car load of hogs fattened ON the
company farm here at Richfield. He
says that the hogs. most OF which
were raised on the farm---though a
lew weree bought outside--will show
a nice profit. They have been pas
tured a great deal, reducing both
the cost of the feed and Of the work

a cleaner, better meat product Mr..
Pearson believes that hog raising
is going to be one of the best in

One other industry that Mr.. Pear

try here, is the growing and fatten-
ing CT lambs On the farms as con
trasted with the usual belief that
there is no money in sheep save
C run them in big bands on the
range. He believes thatto take the
range lambs in the fall, and run
them on the stub bile fields until the
weather begins to get bad, and then
feed them hay and little grain in
clean, dry sheds, will produce
quantity and quality OF mutton to
astonish these who have not bellev-
ed in sheep outside of the range.
He hopes to try this at no

HOME MADE BACON.
Byrne Brothers, Prize Product Is
A Financial Inspiration

No one who has tried it, will
need tc be urged to take a sec
ond order of the home cured bacon
put up by Byrne Brothers here in
Richfield The product is superior
to the finest gilt-edge bacon ever
imported here, no matter at what
price or under what worl-famcus dla
bel. There is a browning quality
to it that none of the others can
eequal The tons of outside product
that is consumed because there is
not enough produced here at home,
tells cne Of the reasons for a fin
ancial stringency in money. This
country, which produces the pork
to make the finest bacon, in the mar
ket, still pays tribute to all the
railroads, to the farmer of the Miss
issippi valley, to two or three sets
of commission men and whOlesal
ers---all for the privilege Of eat
ing an inferior product grown ON
the other side of the Rockies. No
wonder times are hard

national government, taking, say,

SO thot the payment period would

While there are many power pos
sibilities in the state that have not
yet been touched, there are many
others which the state has given
over to be filed on so laxly that

NO filings have been made, should
be withheld from all further entry
except for municipal or community
ation evolved that would bring all
the others back under the public
control. Where small plant is be-
ing made to hold an enormous pow
er possibility against forfeiture or
against development by rival COM
panies, the same principle of law
that DEGREES water only to those
who use it for irrigation should be
invoked, andthe whole system could
be taken under the police power of
the state. Under the general pro-
vision of the Idaho law that the
waters belong to the state, it is
net hard to frame a code that will
allow the state to recover and to
develop these streams for the pub
lie good
This suggestion is not patented
or copyrighted, and some one who
is in the legislative game could do
a lot to make himself and his state
famous by earnestly going after it

State Develop Power
Idaho Could Start ''The Biggest Thing
In The World By Harvesting
Her Mighty Rivers.

One Of thenicest things for some
pose at Boise this winter, is the
great unused water power of the
state, by the state itself
There is no other resource in
the water power of the rivers OF
the state All over the state there
are streams that can easily be devel-
oped. SO that one general develop
state activity without sighting any
portion 1t should be possible to
issue and sell say twenty-five mil
lien dollars worth of state-guaran-
siye development of the power pos
sibilities Of Idaho. Where these
power sites fall into private hands,
it usually happens that there is not
enough ready capital in sight to
develop them; usually a small plant
is installed, at high rates, and it
is made to pay right along for all
the development. The state should
own every enc OF the big power
sites along the Snake river, and
law to take them under thee police
power of the state paying a fair
valuation therefor and then deed
ing them to the people, would be
an essential part of the general
plan.
With the Minidcka project as an
object lesson, where the seettlers
will own the power when the pr
ject repays to the national govern
ernment the cost of the project as
it has been developed and admins
the people of Idaho can get am
idea of what this plan might mean.

gives private companies the cold
