THE DAIRY PROBLEM.

Perhaps some of our readers may
think that we are OVERRIDING the
dairy question by our persistency in
repeatedly bringing it to their at
tention. We believe, however, it
is matter about which too much
cannot be said, and We feel that the
average settler does not realize the
opportunities that this section pre-
sents to the successful dairyman.
We are aware that everyone who
undertakes it will not succeed at the
business, no more than everyone
will make a success of fruit raising,
or stock raising. 1t is a business
that requires close attention and no
small amount of work, but We be-
lieve the results warrant the efforts.
The past year has seen many cattle
brought to the tract, and their are
many of the purchasers OF these
cattle who find the returns are far
better than they could hope at the
best from the sale of their hay or
grain.
Dairy experts from different parts
OF the country who have visited this
section at once realize the superior
advantages our farmers have along
this line, and every day we note
substantial evidence of the profits
to be realized from this source
From the Shoshone Journal of last
week we take the following:
Mrs. Fremont Dooley, of the Die.
trich tract, was visitor at The
Journal Office this morning. Mrs
Dooley is one of the progressive
wives of the tract and tells us tina
Ishe is finding two Jersey cows to b'
la much better business than worry
ling her head off about fruit trees
She has all the milk, butter anC
Icream necessary for her family anC
sells from ten to fifteen pounds q
butter per week. At the presen
time it brings her 25 cents pc
pound, but most of the year
Ibrings 35 cents. Here's anothe
hunch for someone, and there is al
ways a market for dairy products

SOME GOVERNMENT JOBS.

of congress of law providing for

civil engineers, inspectors of car
equipment, electrical engineers, nh-
spectors of motor power, railway
signal engineers, mechanical engi-
neers, and architects, at salaries

STATE LAND SALES.

State Land Commissioner Day
has schedules for several sales of
state lands in this vicinity during
this month. The first of these sales
will be held at Twin Falls on the
tenth of that month, 100 acres OF
irrigable land being offered at that
time. The land offered varies greatly
in value, appraisements ranging
from twenty to a large valuation
per acre.
On the succeeding day there will
be a land sale of about 1000 acres
at Rupert. These are also irrigated
lands, under the Minidoka canal
system, and applications for the
purchase of the lands have been be-
fore the board for some time.
On July 16, Mr.. Day will offer
1000 acres of choice farming land
belonging TO the state. The MAJOR
portion of this land is close to the
Big Wood river six or eight miles
down the stream from Bellevue. A
part of the land is in the vicinity OF
Picabo, and the remainder is in the
vicinity of Soldier.
The last of the sales set for July
will occur at Gooding on the 18th
of next month. Only 500 acres o.
land will be offered at this sale, al
being under the canals of the Idaho
irrigation company and the Kuhn
projects. These lands are appraised
at from ten to thirty dollars al
acre.

At a meeting of the State Land
Board last week, an extention of six
months was granted to the West
End Twin Falls Irrigation and Land
Co. in which to reorganize and an
extension of three years from April
7th, 1914, in which to complete
their contract with the state. This
land is located west of the Twir
Falls tract, and although it was seq
regated some eight years ago, diff
culties have arisen which has de
layed the completion of the irriga
ton works.

1t would seem that there are
other segregations that are opposing
the issuing of patents by the Fed
eral Government to the State, as
well as the North Side tract. Last
week representatives from the
Marble Greek segregation were be-
fore the State Land Board, pleading
that they use their endeavors with
the Interior department to prevent
the issue of patents. Their conten-
ton was that if patents were issued
to the state it would complicate
matters and add to the embarass-
ments that have already been heaped
nnon the innocent settlers. Ii would
also delay the final settlement of the
controversy and prevent the settlers
from borrowing money and making
the improvements of which they are
much in need. The board kindly
consented To use influence to pre-
vent the issuing of these papers. 1t
is evident that no patents will issue
without application being made by
the state, and why the board should
have been so persistent in demand
ing patents for the lands on the
North Side segregation without con
sulting the wishes of the settlers, i,
not clear to the settlers on the tract

The flow of the Snake river is
falling at the rate of about 1000
second feet per day according to the
measurements of the Reclamation
Service. For this reason the stor-

better than was expected as the

is BADLY HURT
POPULAR TRAVELLING MAN RE.
CEINES BAD CASH In LEG
WHILE AT WOONSOCKET
LAST NIGHT.

Jack Heimstra, a travelling sales
man and exceedingly we'll known
here and throughout the state re-
ceived a bad cash in the leg last
night, from the pltpeNN of a motor
boat. while attending the water car
nival at Woonsocket. Mr.. Heimstra
was in bathing about 1880 O'Clock
and had just completed a successful
navigation of the toboggan into the
lake. He was standing in the water
watching a group of men at water
sports, and failed to notice that he
was standing too close to the back
end of a powerful motor boat.
Suddenly abe motor in the boat
was started and the propeller blades
struck Heimstra with such force tnat
both legs were injured and the right
one received a cash 12 inches long,
which extended clear to the bone. The
injured mar bled excessively and he
was very weak from pain and loss of
blood when a physician arrived. He
was brought to Mitchell on the pass
enger last night and taken at once
to his home, 706 Second avenue east.
His condition is reported as very fav-
orable today, but he is still unable
to walk and will probably be COM
PEELED to keep to his home for some
time.

l.. Curran of Lead, while trout fish
ing i'll this section of Spearfish can
yon. Mr.. Curran, who is state deputy
for the Knight of Columbus, was fol-
lowing up the stream in wading
boots. AT a point a hundred yards
or more above the beautiful falls of
the Spearfish river he stopped and
stood still in the shade of a willow
tree while casting a fly ahead of
him. Suddenly he became aware of
the fact that his right foot and limb
had sunk into the sand for time dis
tance and that the water was about
on a level with his knee. Seeking
to extricate that fsot he pushed his
left foo down into the sand and it
stuck fast, With both legs sunk in
the sand to the knees he was unable
to move. and felt himself being slow
ly drawn itno the quickstand. John
Dalton. of Woonsocket. who was
his fishing companion, was some dis
lance away at the tiue Curran en-
countered the quicksand, and repeat
ed shouts for assistance brought him
to the scene in time to rescue Cur
ran from what would have been GER
tain death had there 1Sot been an
other person within reach to give
him assistance. 1t was never before
known that there were quicksand
deposits along Spearfish river, and
a warning has been issued to other
fishermen of the danger.

amendments to the constitution OF
the supreme lodge was taken up e
terday morning and all of them were
passed. The chief amendment low
ers the age required for admission

INTO POLITICS
EX-GON. HERREID, NEW HEAD OF
PYTHIANS. THINKS THEY
SHOULD STUDY ECONOMIC
PROBLEMS.

Aberdeen, S. D.-Former Governor
c. N. Herried has just returned from
the grand lodge session of the
Knights of Pythias, which was held
in Sioux Falls his week. The COVER
nor was greatly honored by the grand
lodge when he was elected the grand
lodge representative to the supreme
Pythian lodge for a term of four
years. He also occupies the position
of fraternal correspondent for the
grand lodge of this state.
In the latter capacity it was that
he submitted several novel recon-
%menadtions to the grand lodge for
action. One of these recommendations
was that the uniform rank, the strong
military branch of the Pythians, be
done away with. The military branch,
according to the governor, has IL
lived Its usefulness, and is not in har-
mony with the spirit of the age. He
suggests hat the spectacular effect
of brilliant uniforms might be perpe.
tuated by allowing members who are
so disposed and can afford it to ap-
pear in uniform on special occasions
like some other orders. Popular

The last recommendation of the
governor and perhaps the most start.
ling was calculated to create ar

are now merely dry routine and are
not attended by any great percent

The governor believes that we of this
country are now approaching a crisis

people. Many other vital question.

and a proper and just system of tax

all these questions discussed there
There would be no acant chairs ir

ment, says the governor. do your
