Its labors are bearing fruit. Now
that the matter is being discussed
by state officials and the daily press
let the agitation continue until the
power of the state is put behind
every one of these projects, and the
companies be made to fulfill their
contracts with the settlers or forfeit
their rights to the state.
This done and Idaho will again
hold her once prominent position on
the map. The sage brush will give
way to fields of waving grain and
home of the coyote and jack rabbit
be gone forever. All hail any pub
licity that will hasten the advent of
this day.

BIG SUIT THE RESULT OF KUHN
FAILURE.
(Shoshone Journal)

A default was entered on Satur-
day in a case of considerable i'm
portance in the office of the Clerk of
the District Court, in which The
Settlers Reclaiming and Operating
Company was plaintiff, and Califor-
nia-Idaho Company defendant. 1t
seems from the complaint that both
corporations are created under the
Delaware laws. The plaintiff has
been doing a general farming busi-
ness for the past four or five years,
on the North Side tract, in the Vi
cinity of Jerome and Wendell.
1t is alleged that on account of
water shortage during the early
years of that tract the plaintiff was
unable to produce sufficient crops to
pay expenses, and in order to ad-
just matters and keep the concern
going the Twin Falls North Side
Land Il Water Company made ad-
vancements in the shape of loans,
partly secured by chattel mortgage
and partly not secured, to the eX-
tent of some $40, 900. The COM
plant further says that by agree
ment made between plaintiff an6

, of S119,0 900 and take over and man

plant goes on to state that pursuan

We are in receipt of a lengthy
communication from former Gov
ernor Frank R. Gooding, in which
he announces his candidacy for the
U. S. senate in 1914. OF course
this means that Gooding will enter
the republican primaries in opposi-
ton to the present junior senator,
Jas. H. Brady, and as these two
gentlemen are old political rivals,
the campaign promises to be a
spirited one. In fact Gooding
sounds the keynote in his announce
ment by charging Brady with many
things that have been done that
are a stencil in the nostrils of every
honest man who knows anything
about the political conditions in
Idaho" We must infer from this
that personalities are going to enter
into the campaign to great extent,
which of course would be most de.
plorable to say the least. However
this is not our fight, but it might bt
well to add that it is not at all pro
bable that these two gentlemen viii
have the field all to themselves, a:
there are several other aspirants fo
senatorial honors in the republican
ranks in this state.

farm contracts, and the action is
brought to require the California
Idaho Company to complete its con-
tract, failing which, a judgment is
asked in the amount of around
s265,0O0.
Both companies are what are
known as Kuhn corporations and
the trouble seems to arise by reason
of the failure of the Kuhns, as ac-
cording to the complaint they had
been carrying out the contract until
about the time of the failure.
Barclay & Hall of Jerome, and
Johnson & Johnson of Boise repre-
sent the plaintiff.

Good Road Work.

We had occasion recently to go over
the new road which has been constructed
from the rim rock at Shoshone falls to
point within short distance of the south
line of the segregation. Those who have
had occasion to use the old and winding
road through the lava beds to the brink
of the canyon cannot but appreciate a
trip over the new road. 1t takes almost
direct course through ravines and hills
and has been put on grade that makes
it easy to travel, and the constructors
are deserving of much praise for the good
work they have accomplished.
Over in the Grand View district the
settlers have been cooperating with the
Jerome Highway commissioners, and as
result several miles of road has been
constructed, which those who have had
occasion to use it, pronounce first class
| in every respect.
During the temporary absence of the
water in the canals, supervisor Reed, Of
the highway district is taking advantage
of this opportunity to repair the bridges
that need it, and to put in piers where
new bridges are contemplated.
Since the organization of the highway
district the demand for good roads has
received quite an impetus, and with
the hearty cooperation of the settlers as
is being manifested, it will not be long
before we have system of good trunk
line roads extending in every direction.
Not only the people here but throughout
the entire country have come to reali-
zation of the fact that nothing tends to
enhance the value of rural property more
than good roads.

Experiments Show Cost of Milk.

The total cost OF producing milk con-
tanning per cent of butter fats is approx
imately cents per quart, according to
data secured from tests conducted by the
United States department of agriculture
at New Jersey experiment stations.
This figure is based on the cost OF
labor and the actual cost of the
growing and harvesting the products
consumed, and includes incidental ex-
penses such as bedding, stabling, interest,
on investment, depreciation, etc, but
not the time given by the farmer to SUI
pervision. The feeds used consisted ol
soiling crops of different kinds, corn 81.

STATE SHOULD AID
CAREY ACT PROJECTS.
Government Stands Ready to Cooper
ate with the State in Restoring
Confidence.

That the state should assume tho
responsibility for Carey act projects
that have not been successful, and
should appropriate money to make
them good, is the view of F. H. New
ell, director of the reclamation SER
vice. In recent interview in Boise
he said:
If the people of Idaho will show
that they appreciate their response
bility in this matter, for every dol
lar the state will put up for use in
completing these projects the recla-
nation service can readily be in
duced to. put up a dollar. The SER
vice has the funds and will meet the
state half way.
The state gave out the impress
sion that it stood behind these pro-
lects, and people who have invested
their money in these irrigation Sc
curities, only to see the investment
wiped out. are expecting to see
Idaho make good.
I do not make this statement in
a spirit of criticism, but in desire
to help. The reclamation service
stands ready to help, but the state
must make the first move. Oregon
found herself in the same position
that Idaho stands to-day. She
joined hands with the reclamation
service and her projects are now in
a fair way to be completed. Oregon
put up s45O.OOO and the service
like amount.
Until these projects are made
good only the government will be
able to finance irrigation enterprises
of any kind. AS it is now, you
can't sell an irrigation bond. and
that condition is direct result of
the failure of these Carey act pro-
ects.
With that condition existing,
and there being at the same time a
demand for the completion of more
irrigation projects, it is imperative
that the government have funds with
which to carry on the work. Sec
retary Lane, of the interior depart
ment is asking for 500, 900, 900 as
loan for reclamation work. A few
years ago that would have sounded
like tremendous sum, but it does
not seem to be causing a great deal
; of stir now, and / would not be at
all surprised if it were forthcom-
; ing"

WILL DECIDE LOST RIVER CASE
suggests


A Statesman dispatch of yester-
day, says:
At last the United States court Of
appeals in San Francisco Is to act
in the Big Lost river case. lnfor-
nation reached the city on Tuesday
through absolutely reliable sources
that the court would hand down a
decision in this case not later than
November 10. This is the case in
which the Corey Brothers Construc-
ton company of Ogden is trying to
enforce a lien of some S6OO,OOO
against the property of the Big Lost
River Irrigation company with the
bondholders contesting.
1t has been agreed on all sides
that nothing could be done by any
one toward the revival of this pro-
iect until after this case was decided
in the court of appeals, and Tor tins
reason the decision has been await
ed with the keenest interest. Nc
intimation is given out of course al
TO what the decision will be hut 1
is known that it is being writer
and that it will be handed dowI
not later than November 10.

STRIKES BACK.

In a recent issue of the Irrigation
Age, appears an open letter to Gov
ernor Haines, signed by Edward
Bohm, in which he takes to task the
present and former land boards for
their apathy in regards to the Lost
River irrigation project. Governor
Haines comes back at the gentleman
charging him with making asser-
tions that are not borne out by the
land board records. We are not
familiar with the records of the land
board in this case, but from a per-
sonal experience with matters per
tanning to the North Side tract, we
know that it has taken the super
human efforts of the settlers TO get
the land board to take any action
in their behalf in the past. We
have no criticisms to offer at the
present land board, as we feel that
they havs shown an inclination to
deal fairly with the settlers, but in
the past, the board being divided
politically, very little attention was
paid the settlers and this is prob
ably responsible for much of tn,
criticism that has been made against
the board.
We feel that the settlers on thu
Lost River project have reason t.
complain bitterly at the dilator,
tactics pursued by the state in thei
behalf, and probably many thing
have been said that don't exactl,
coincide with the records in tn,
case. Be this az it may, some o
the settlers, becoming tired of thu
delay on the part of the board hav'
instituted suit in the courts attack
ing the Carey act bond given to TIN
state for the completion of this pro
ject, to recover losses sustained
through the failure of the compan,
promoting the project to complet
the same and deliver the water
Not satisfied with this, suits hav
also been commenced against som
of the promoters for misrepresenta
tions, and the proceedings from no'
on will be watched with interest b
all Carey act settlers in the state
The policy mapped out by Gov
ernor Haines in regard to Carey at
projects, meets the hearty approve
of all settlers, and we only tru'
that he may be able to bring abor
some of the reforms at least that h
suggests.

SHOWS INTEREST IN THE POTATO
FARM.

During his recent visit at jerome,
Governor Haines had occasion to
visit the United States Potato and
Sugar Beet experimental farm, To-
Gated at this place, and was at once
impressed with the importance of
this institution to the people of
Southern Idaho especially. Upon
his return to Boise he gave evidence
of this interest by personally ad-
dressing the Secretary of Agriculture
of which the following is a copy:
Hon ID. f. Houston, Sec of Agriculture
Washington, ID. c.
My dear Mr. Secretary;
| desire 10 invite your attention to the
splendid work that is being done at the
government potato and sugar beet seed
experimental station at jerome, Idaho,
and the urgent need OF providing a con-
tinuing appropriation for this station.
The people OF this and surrounding
,tates are particularly interested in the
splendid work that is being done there in
the matter of illustrating improved
methods of potato culture, the education
of the farmers in the proper method OF
seed selection, the prevention OF the
numerous potato diseases and many other
matters which contribute materially to
the success OF this great industry.
The growing OF potatoes is one OF the
principal industries in the part OF Idaho
where this station is located and it is no
doubt true that the finest potatoes in the
world are grown in that vicinity. 1t is
peculiarly fitting, therefore, that the
government Of the United States should
maintain a station of this kind in that
territory, and the good derived therefrom
is undoubtedly much more than com
mensurate with the expenses incurred
| l should like, therefore, my dear Mr.
Secretary, to urge upon you the impor-
tance of providing for the continuance o
the good work which the government
has already undertaken at this station
The appropriation made for the mainte
nance of this station last year was onl,
SIC. 900, but this is believed to be INSULT
cient for the successful carrying out o
the work of this institution. 1t is my be
lief that an expenditure OF at least Slo,
600 and, better, $50, 900, would be NOR
than repaid in the results secured whicl
will be of interest not only to the grea
potato section of this and other wester
states, but to potato growers general
throughout the United States. | shoul
like to ask, therefore, that you use you
influence with members OF congress /
. order to secure a suitable appropriate
for this station, and believe can assuT
you that no other expenditure OF TN
amount of money will produce create
= results. / have the honor to remain
= Yours very respectfully,
4 (Signed) John Nj. Haines,
Governor.

BRISCO LORD is
RECORD HOLDER
Only Player Connie Mack Took Back
After RaLaAse.

Boston, May 2O.-Briscoe Lord, late
of Baltimore, now a staIings man, en-
joys the distinction of being oRe of the
few players released by Connie Mack
to return to the camp Of the Athletics
In 1905 Lord Joined the White File
plants and played in the series that
fall against the Giants for the worlds
championship.
After two years on the team Connie
Mack thought that he saw signs of
slipping on Lords part, 50 he ship
ped him to New Orleans. Lord s
playing there was sensational His
hitting was terrific and his fielding was
wonderful. The management of the
Cleveland team was attracted by his
playing and his release was purchased
by the Maps. He played left and
center fields for Cleveland and demon
strated that Connie Mack made one
grave mistake during his career in
turning Lord loose. Seeing the error
of his way when his outfeld was Grip
pied, Mack made overtures to the
Cleveland management for the SER
vices Of his old gardener.
He offered Joe jackson, ON whom
he had an option, and Maurice Rath,
now with the White Sox, in exchange
for Lord, and the proposition was ac-
cepted. Cleveland got one of the

country in the trade and Lord went
back to Philadelphia and assisted the
Athletics to capture another Amerf-
can league pennant and also the
worlds championship. Lord remain
ed with the tenn until August 4. 1919
when Mack sent him with Shortstop
Derrick to Baltimore of the 1nterna-
tional league in exchange for Walsh
and Murphy, both of whom are now
with the Athletics.
In the American league last season
in ninety-six games he batted for an
average of .23s and helded his posi-
ton for an average Of .942. In the
international he batted for PIT in
thirty-one games and helded for 1874.

ZBYSZKO BEATS
CAZEAUX ON MAT
IN STRAIGHT FALLS

The time- honored game of wrestling
made another bid for favor at Madi-
son. Square Garden, New York, last
night, and judging by the manner in
which the spectators took to the ex-
hibitions 1t is safe to predict that the
sport will be rehabi1itated.
Stanilaus Zbyszko and Raynrondo,
Cazeaux, champions of Poland and
Italy respectively, furnished the main
bout, and they give a, very scientific
exhibition. zbyszko won the ma tch
in two straight falls. primarily on
account of his extended wrestling
lore.
The Polish champion secured the
first fall in IA minutes 80 seconds
with an arm and half-Nelson hold
The second and deciding fall he gained
with a falling body hold after twenty
minutes of strenuous graphing. Ca
zeauz was in imminent danger of
having his broad shoulders pinioned
to the mat several times before he
was finally downed: but each time he
managed to extricate himself from the
unpromising situation.
Zbyszl1o stru gg1ed desperately to
gain the second fall and match. At
one stage Cazeaux. in trying to squirrn
out of Zbyszao's firm grip, hurtIed the
Pole out of the arena into laps of sew
era1 spectators.

NOVEL EXCUSE MADE
BY ALMEIDA WHEN
He BROKE UP PLAY

Some odd excuses have been made
by baseball managers for their clubs
losing games but the one advanced
by Joe Tinker Of the Cincinnati team
is the funniest, the weirdest of all. Jo-
seph says the reason his team has lost
so many games up to date is because
they are too bright, too quick thinK-
ers- They are even brighter than
his old team mates, the Cubs. Still
the latter have always been noted for
inside baseball and Cincinnati for
bonehead plays. Tinker says that IT
is because the Reds have never been
taught to use their heads.
If they were natural boneheads
Tinker might well despair when plans
like this one are pulled on. With one
run needed to tie and Egan on first
AImeida, who WAS at bat gave Egan
the hit and run sign. Egan went
down on the pitch. The ball came
straight across, the Cuban formerly
with New Britain never offered at It
Egan was thrown out at second and
the play lost the game.
Almeida explained that as the ball
came up he changed his mind II
thought, after ALL he told Tinker,
that would not hit it."
Joe benched the Cuban. But it
gave him a, line on what was the mat
ter with the Reds. Almeida, q really
bright fellow and a rapid thinker, did
not look far enough ahead to see what
would happen if he changed his mind.
It hadn't occurred to him to wonder
Tinker thinks this is the big trouble
with the team and proposes to teach
the boys how to think.
