sides at once.
General Attack Ordered.
March d Gen. Ivanoff ordered a general
attack from all sides. The only point
where the fire was slack was opposite
Aivas Takdeh. There Ivanoff massed
5000 picked troops. Their first operation
was to carry with the bayonet the Turk
ish advanced positions at Maslak. The
Turkish artillery at AivaS Tabieh opened
a terrific fire on Maslak. and two Bulga-
rian batteries were wiped out.
The Bulgarians then unmasked eighty
heavy siege pieces and directed them on
Aivas Tabieh. which soon became q

Meanwhile the Bulgarian infantry crept

THE MEXICAN SITUATION.

Contrary to expectations, Presi-
dent Wilson postponed the reading
Of his message to Congress for an
other twenty-four hours in the hope
that the Huerta government would
modify its objection to the peace
terms offered by the United States.
Administration officials profess re-
gret over the failure of the Lind
negotiations, and cannot help but
feel that the Huerta government
cannot last much longer from the
fact the foreign governments are
supporting the United States, which
precludes any possibility Of obtain
ing funds to carry on the war.

NO COMPARISON.

We have had placed before us
copy Of the Northwest Farmstead,
in which we find an article written
by a resident of Coos County, Ore,
the great advantages of
that country which he states is
a purely dairy country. After
careful perusal of this article, and
noting the advantages claimed for
that section, we can find nothing
that will even compare to what is
offered to settlers on the North Side
tract.
THE average land now carries
one COW for every three acres of
bottom land" says the article Let
fome of our dairymen compare this
statement with what they are doing
on this tract, where an acre of alf-
alta is pasturing three or more head
of cows. The article further states ::
About half of the farmers are
renting the land. Rent runs to S2C
for each COW that farm will carry
The land values are rapidly going
up. Improved bottom land sell:
for $50 to $500 per acre while un-
improved brings $50 up.
This climate is not suitable t
the growing of corn. When whea
is ripe it is cut for chicken feed. Al
other small grain is cut when in th'
dough as it is all used for hay. NJ
grain is threshed rs it is too wet t
ripen well. Little seed is grown IL
this locality. The majority of farm
ers buy the best grade of seed the
can secure.

yet in very poor condition. Their
is no railroad. Freight is $3.50

MORE COWS COMING.

The Wendell Irrigationist of last
week says:
e. B. Ford, two miles west of
town is at the present time in Por-
tervilie, Calf. purchasing cattle for
farmers around Wendell, and re-
ports are that he will bring with
him three or four carload of the
best heifers that this locality has
received.
Porterville is situated in the
drouth-stricken locality in California
and the cattlemen there are forced
to reduce their herds and this has
been a splendid opportunity for this
locality to get good dairy stuff at a
very reasonable price, and Wendell
is fortunate to have as experienced
dairyman as is Mr. Ford to assume
this very responsible position as, it
is hard to Judge good stock for dairy
purposes. The stock that has been
ordered at this date is Holstein and
Shorthorn stuff with few Jerseys,
and Mr.. Ford reports that it is splen-
did stock.
This deal is being financed through
the First National Bank, and the
farmers of Wendell should feel very
kindly toward the banking insti
tuition of this locality for the inter
est taken in assisting the settlers t,
get good stock at the very bes
prices possible. "
In telephone conversation wit
Mr.. Barrett, of the First Nationa
Bank of Wendell, he assured u
that these heifers would be lai
down in Wendell at a much les
price than any that have heretofor
been brought to the tract. We cor
gratulate our Wendell neighbors o
this opportunity of securing goo
dairy stock at a reasonable tigul
land the farmers of that section hay
reasons to feel very kindly towar
this banking institution in tinan
ing the deal.

THE SEED PROBLEM.

We have repeatedly through these
columns called the attention of our
farmers to the profits to be made in
seed raising, and we are glad to
state that several are experimenting
along this line this year, with prom
ising results in various instances we
could relate. Speaking of Alsike
seed as a crop, the Twin Falls News
says:
r. A. Kennedy up to date is the
boss alsike seed raiser. His 12-acre
field mile west and a similar dis
tance north of town threshed out
1872 bushels. The seed rolled out OF
the thresher just like wheat.
The yield averaged II bushels tc
the acre. A bushel of alsike weighs
60 pounds and sells at Is cents pei
pound. The crop returned S99 an
acre, which was 81 ,1SS for the field
Mr.. Kennedy planted the alsik'
last year with oats. The oats yield
ed 20 bushels an acre. He let thu
first cutting this year go to seed anC
is not at all sorry that he did. TIL,
custom is to cut the first crop foI
hay and let the second go to seed
but Mr.. Kennedy was afraid h
would lose on some frost that Nigh
come unexpectedly early. As it is
he has his crop safe in the sack
This is equivalent to money in tn
bank.
With satisfactory results obtaine
this year, which now seems certain
much larger acreage will be give
over to seed raising on this tra'
another season.

THE RANSOM CASE.

There is hardly a mail arrives
that does not bring us some inquiry
regarding the status OF this case,
in which the land holders on the
tract are so much interested. To
all such we might say that the COM
pany has not as yet filed their brief
in the case. They were given until
August lst to do this, but Attorney
Hays being called east, the time has
been extended from time to time
and there will probably be nothing
done until his return which is eX-
pected any day. 1t is stated that
Judge Walters is anxious to have
the case disposed of before he be-
comes engaged in the September
term of court.

A SIX DAMAGES.

An echo of an old fight between
the settlers on the North Side tract
and the Kuhns appeared in district
court this week, when suit was filed
by Attorney Rex V. Wilcox, of Wen
dell, for So, 900 claimed by him as
losses sustained from the company
for lack of water in the early days
of the reclamation of the tract. Mr..
Wilcox also filed suit for a similar
sum for Mrs. May Roberts Barrett,
the claim being of like character
There is now no trouble over
water, but in the rush days many
settlers were urged onto the land
before water could be served Il
them, and damages were sustained
1t will now be fight in the courts
to ascertain whether or not the ac
tions Just lodged in district cour
are meritorious. n-Gooding Leader
We might add in this connection
that the courts are not likely to &c
an opportunity to pass on this mat
ter, as up to the present time tn
company has not allowed Il case t
go to trial, preferring to settle tn
same out of court.
