CAMPBELLVILLE


This is one of the busiest sections
of Idaho at this time Of the year. Last
week and this week every farmer in
the dry zone will be either seeding or
preparing his ground. The prospects
are good for a crop this year so far
as the ground is we'll filled with mois-
ture, it being soaked last fall when
it froze up.
The homesteads in this neck Of the
sage brush are getting SO scarce that
seekers are requested to bring a
field glass with them in order to find
one. In the last two weeks ten fill
ings were made in this vicinity, prac-
tically taking everything up to the
lavas. Since last fall about thirty have
taken homesteads up in Esquimaux-
vile, around Tabor, and they have
cleaned up all the best land. Five
people from Rexburg filed in this Sec
ton Of the country this spring. They
come from a non-irrigated country and
say this looks good to them.
Mr.. Graham, Of Sterling, took din
ner at Campbellville Sundays He was
accompanied by his wife and daughter
and had spent three days looking over
this section and around Tabor, but
claimed that there was no very desir'
able homesteads left. He thinks he
will take hold of something, and is
determined to have a dry farm.
M. D. Bowen, after sojourning all
winter with friends and relatives al
Twin Falls, moved on to his claim
last Sunday.
Dave Crawford moved his family bacl
to the homestead two weeks ago.
The first to do any seeding this
year was Phil Keller, who put in -four
acres Of Speltz on March 10th. He
was followed closely by Bert Camp
bell, who seeded 10k acres to oats
on the Longview ranch March 18th.
We have heard one complaint of vii
ter wheat being frozen. J. M. Wood
land claims that about three-fourths q
the grain in one Of his fields hal
been winter killed.
w. H. Keller has been putting ii
the extra days of the week in build
ing a house for Mr. Galbraith nea
Moreland, which he completed las
Saturday.
C. A. Woodland is on to his plac
and breaking up a large patch o
sage brush this week
. Homesteads are getting so scare
here that there are several contes
cases on hand. It is warning t.
those who do not live up to the Law
There are several who are anxiou
for homesteads out here and ar
watching and waiting for their chance
to jump on to one. What differenc,

FUTILE PROTESTS.

New England manufacturers and
western farmers are alike protesting
against the free trade or tariff-for-rev-
enue-only provisions Of the new tariff
law. Their objections, however loudly
voiced, will be futile. The Democratic
majority, backed by the President
holding up thousands OF appointments
all over the United States until he gets
the votes for his measures that he
wants, will work It's own will and car
nv out It's doctrines without regard to
the practical effect on the industry Of
the country.
The people who are complaining
loudly about the action Of Congress
on the tariff are they who voted for
just what they are getting and there
is comparatively little sympathy for
complaints which now they raise and
the voices with which they ill the air.

LET us HAVE COOPERATION.

The time, thought, energy and sup
port OF the people of Keokuk from
now on should be amalgamated and
concentrated in movement that Will
bring, or at least assist in bringing,
factories to this city. The completion
of the dam, the commercial activity
OF that vast undertaking, is now
reality. The development OF Keokuk
is the unsolved question, but from
any viewpoint a reasonable certainty.
Every organization of civic nature
should cooperate with the Industrial
Association In an endeavor to accom-
plish the definite object for which
the association was formed-to get
factories for Keokuk.
Very few industries are thrust upon
communities. Their location Or re,
location is the result of advantageous
conditions. Surely in this respect
Keokuk is not deficient in advantages.
Abundant and dependable electric
power equitable freight rates, favor
able distributing point, near sources
of raw material, all constitute to pre-
sent Keokuk as favorable point for
factory operation and development.
The day Of city competition has ar
rived and precludes almost every
probability OF one community getting
factory without contest Even the
city with superior advantages must be
alert to make industrial progress
This being true the wisdom OF Keo
! kuk citizens must be called into ac
| ton to see that this city taxes nc
backward step.
| There is some hesitation at present
in the commercial world in regard to
extending industrial investments OF
establishing new ones, due to legis
Iation and economic conditions Indiea
tions are for an early solution Of these
problems. When the adjustment
comes Keokuk should be ready 70
make such showing that It will at
tract and secure a reasonable number
OF industries. What Keokuk needs as
a city is just what the independent
man needs for his business momen

THE COUNTRY STORE.

The country store will not disap-
pear from Kansas If the educational
authorities of that state can prevent
1t. Believing that the rural store is
passing only because 1t is improperly
managed, the Kansas state board OF
education will establish course In
country store management in the
Kansas Agricultural college. The
country will observe the experiment
with interest, for the rural store de-
serves to survive the competition OF
city department stores and mail order
houses. It is a useful Institution and
its passing would be loss to the
country. Apparently there is no sound
economic reason why the country
store cannot meet competition, II
properly conducted. It is close to the
people and the owner is usually well
acquainted with his neighbors. The
various items Of administration and
upkeep are smaller than for bust
ness OF the same size In city or
town. The rural telephone reaches
the cross roads store and the parcel
post will make deliveries for the coun-
try storekeper as cheaply as for his
city competitor, and more quickly
But II It is to survive, the country
store must keep abreast of the times.
The owner must advertise and must
arrange and display his goods in an
attractive manner-in a word, he
must be up-to-date.
