BIG SHEEP SHIPMENT.

The Twin Falls News has the fol-
lowing regarding the large shipment
of sheep to Chicago recently, which
was the largest single shipment ever
made to that city:
W. G. Ralston returned last Mon
day from Chicago, where he accom-
panied Harry West five weeks ago
with 10000 sheep for the markets of
that city. He states that Mr. West
has not yet offered his sheep for
sale, aS the market price j. con-
stantly rising and Il handsome re-
turn for the stock is expected.
\ remarkable feature of the ship
ment of Nh. Vests stock to Chicago
is that only 25 head were lost in
traffic out of the 10000. With the
crowded condition of the cars and
the jolting Of the train, this small
number of sheep is considered fal
beyond expectation. The sheep ar,
now being fed a few miles from
Chicago, and MIR. Ralston state,
that they are among the finest thai
have been sent To that market main
tanning the best of condition. y,
other shipment Ia Chicago ap
proaches that of MIR. West in mum
her. A shipment of 5000 sheer
was made to Chicago at about tn,
same time. The train was com
posed of 36 cars and went through
without accident of any kind. !
train preceding them Il few hour
met with a wreck in which thre
men, two of whom were from File
and Bull, were killed.

LAND BOARD DENIES.

The state land board is out with
Il denial that they refused Il hearing
to the Salmon River settlers, and
stating that no hearing had been
asked. Vet in this same denial the
register Of the board states that
large package Of sealed paper which
evidently contained the application
of the settlers, was by order of the
board turned over To the manager
of the Carey Act department with
out even being opened. From a
most reliable source we learn that
at the time of the recent meeting OF
the directors Of the Salmon River
Association at Twin Falls, request
by telephone for Il hearing met with
no satisfactory response, and it was
this lack Of interest ip their cause
10y the land board that hastened the
settlers determination to seek re-
dress in the courts. 1t is needless
for the land board to plead igno-
rance Of conditions on the Salmon
tract. 1t il known far and wide,
and if, a. we understand, the state
land board stands as Il guardian foI
the settler, it wa- their duty to in.
vcstigate these conditions at the ex-
pcn-e Of the state instead of forcing
the settlers to the expense of EN-
ploying legal counsel. We are al
asked to boost for Idaho, but how
can the state expect to build up it.

ticc on the board of county commits
sioners of an appeal from their ac-
tions, charging conspiracy on their
part in allotting the railroad pro-
perty laying in disorganlzed terri

tricts in the county. The bone Of
contention was III miles of the q.
:. H. main line laying in the eastern
part Of the county, all of which
was demanded 10y the Shoshone dis

proceeded to allot equitably between

While not seeking To criticise the
action Of the legislature in enacting

SETTLED OUT OF COURT.


There were four damage cases
pending against the Twin Falls
North Side Land 4 Water Co. in
the present term Of the district
court, the plaintiffs being W. T. |
Veazie, |. Mcconnell, G. }. Manner
and Oliver Hill. These cases have /
been pending for some time, as the
result of damage to crops during |
the years 1909 and 1910 occasioned
by the failure Of the water supply.
Although repeated efforts had been
made by the claimants for Il salts
factory adjustment Of these claims,
no settlement could be reached with
the company, and accordingly suits
were instituted. At the last mo-
ment, however, when it was seen
that the plaintiffs were determined
to force the matter to an issue, the
company in order to avoid any
court decision that might form a
precedent in future cases, sought a
settlement and adjusted matters
satisfactory to the plaintiffs
The Oliver Hill case was probably
the most important Of any Of these,
a. the amount involved Was the
largest, and he was repeatedly told
ly former claim agent of the com
pany that he absolutely had no
claim at all In the adjustment
with Mr.. Hill the company allowed
him 5000 per acre for alfalfa that
was lost. and also allowed $500 per
acre for land that he had prepared
for seed but was prevented from
seeding on account of no water be-
ing available. In the loss of grain,
the company allowed him 40 BUSH
els of oats To the acre at a price OF
60 cents per bushel. The adjust
ment was ON basis OF about 50 pei
cent of what his attorneys consider
ed was good in court, and of course
MIR. Hill was more than pleased
with the final al diustnlent.
In referring to the final adjust
ment al these csises, We cannot hell
but wonder at the attitude assumed
hy the company in the adjustment
of the losses occasioncd during these
years. ~ in these settlements they
practically admit their liability, bu
seem To have a desire to put th'
claimants to all the expense and in
convenience imaginable, in employ
ing attorneys getting witnesses, etc
and then at the last moment sur
render to him. These are not tn
first cases that have been settled IL
this manner, and thus far, If we ar
correctly advised, they have neve
allowed n case to come To trial. II
the Hill case the claim could hav
been settled year ago for less thai
half of what they paid him la1
week. We can see no other reasol
for the course pursued by the com
pany unless il be that by so dom
they hope to bluff the claimant int
settlement or by putting the mat
ter off from time to time seek I
embarass him financially to such a
extent that he will be compelled
accept their terms or drop the mat
ter entirely. If an entryman has
just claim, which in every instanC
the company has thus far acknow
edged to be the case, there Is noti
ing to he gained by delaying Il
matter and fighting over IT for
year or more as this position has
tendency to only still further wide
the breach between the two. tn
is not conducive to the best inte
ests of the tract and we would hoI
to see it cease if peace and harmon
are expected to prevail.

That Priority Suit Including
Ownership Of Mlner Dam
Has More or Less Interest to the
People Residing on the North
Side Tract

The case of the Twin Falls Canal
company VS. the Twin Falls Land
and Water company and the Twin
Falls North Side Land and Water
involving the ownership
and control of the Miner dam, was
heard in Boise recently before Judge
Dietrich in the federal court. A
brief history Of this case is given a.
follows in the Twin Falls Times
In 1907 the Twin Falls Land
and Water company assigned to Mr..
Kuhn, who later assigned to the
north side companies all its rights
then held by it to irrigate lands in
Lincoln county on the north side Of
the Snake river. This included the
so-called Miner segregation, en-
bracing lands provided in the origi-
nal contract with the state under
which the south side canals were
constructed. The deed to Mr.. Kuhn
also attempted to convey a proper
tionate interest in the Miner dam.
The state land board approved Of
these transfers and entered into a
new contract with the Twin Falls
North Side Land and Water COM
pany for the irrigation of not only
the Miner segregation but about
POO, 900 acres of additional land ON
the north side.
The validity Of the Kuhn deed
and the right of the Twin Falls
Land and Water company to assign
to any person or corporation other
than the Twin Falls Canal com
pany, any part Of the Miner dam
is questioned in the suit just tried
THE other phase of the caSt
grew ont of the form of the deed
given by the Land and Water com
pany Of the canal system. When
the system was ordered transferred
to the Canal company in 1909, i
form of deed was agreed upon be-
tween Mr.. Noight, manager OF the
Land and Water company, and tn,
attorneys for the Twin Falls Cana
association. The Land and Water
company, however, refused to exc
cute this deed but instead delivered
To the Canal company, which wa
then controlled by the Land ant
Water company, deed to the sys
TEN, but perpetually reserving Il
itself right to enlarge any cana
or lateral AT any time and to us
the same as so enlarged withou
compensation.
The recording of this dee'
aroused some feeling among til
settlers and the Twin Falls Cana
association brought a suit in tn
name of ?. II Smith to cancel sue
deed and to compel the Land an
Water company TO execute and dc
liver one without such reservations
When the canal companies passe
in the hands of the settlers in 1915
the present suit was filed and III
6 Smith suit dismissed.
. "The claim of the Land an
- Water Company to make sue
reservations was denied by Judg
Dietrich some time ago in a demu
rer, and at the trial in Boise In
Friday, the attorneys for the Ian
and Water company expressed
, willingness TO have proper dee
executed in this respect.
! ''The ownership and control (
Il the dam was not finally decided
. Each side was allowed fifteen da,
within which to file briefs upon II
!, legal questions involved.
- 1T is probable that the case wi
., be appealed to the United Stat
circuit court of appeals ut ~

Native Feed for Idaho Lambs.

Native Feed for Idaho Lambs.
The university OF Idaho recently
completed at its Caldwell substation
in the southern part OF the state, An
experiment in the feeding OF BIB
lambs for market. No attempt was
made to test ont the various breeds
and crosses, but the things sought
for were the feasibility OF using
Idaho grown grains for the feeding
OF lambs, the possibility of feeding
profitably second grade lambs which
come from the range rather late in
the fall and the possibility of mar
keting, through lambs, profitably
the large quantities Of alfalfa hay
grown in some portions Of the state.
The lambs were fed out OF doors
with absolutely no shelter, using
straw for bedding and hurdles to
form the enclosure and bed grounds.
They were bought OF Scott Anderson
Of Boise and were driven overland
from his ranch north Of the CITY to
the Caldwell station farm. When
weighed upon the range they aver
aged ca pounds and after pastur-
ing on alfalfa stubble and feeding
period of 100 days averaged lO5.-
pounds when shipped.
Ordinarily all expenses except
feed are charged against the manure
In this particular experiment severa
charges other than feed had To bt
met. No corralls were available
and three lambs were taken by coy
otes. A large engine had to be useC
for pumping water. entailing .
heavy expense for gasoline, and S9I
extra labor was charged against tn
lambs. Due to warm weather anC
other causes, ten head were lost il
transit. After paying all the abov
expenses and for all feeds the ne
profit was approximately 10 cent
per lamb. Using the lambs to mar
ket the hay gave it an approximat
value of $50 per ton. Withou
charging the extra labor and gaSo
line the profit was 50 cents per hea
or the hay brought 5000 per ton
The lambs were divided into tw
| lots with an equal number Of laml
in each lot. One lot WAS fed alfalf
, hay with a grain ration of thre
. parts barley and one part oats, an
the other lot was fed alfalfa with
r ration of three parts wheat and on
part oats. No losses resulted froI
the wheat feeding. During a feedin
: period Of l2O days the wheat fe
l lambs gained two and two-thirC
pounds per head more than tn
. barley lot, and netted five cents p,
J head more net profit.
These lambs were bought by II
Carstens Packing company of I;
coma, whose buyers pronounce
Il them in splendid condition an
t the grain finish secured by feedn
Il Idaho small grains entirely satiSfa
t tory for the market.
= The experiment clearly shoy
that Idaho feeder lambs can be Su
cessfully and profitably fed with
the state on home grown grains.
