EASTERN MONEY SCARCE.

One of the most logical explana-
tions of present business conditions
in Idaho, is brought by S. II Hays,
who has Just returned from an east
ern trip, says the Statesman. Mr..
Hays. who is the local attorney for
the Kuhn brothers, went to Pitts
burg in connection with the recent
financial difficulties of the kuhns.
While away he visited several other
eastern cities and had occasion to
look up general business conditions.
In regard to the affairs OF the
Kuhns. Mr.. Hays said, The
Kuhns' affairs are gradually being
worked out, but it will require some
time, owing to the magnitude OF
their affairs. A satisfactory conclu-
sion seems in sight, however.
Speaking of business conditions,
Mr.. Hays said, THE money mar
ket in the east seems to be improv'
ing. The situation is peculiar
one Wholesale merchants and
manufacturers will show larger salel
in 1913 than they did in 1912 Oh

Mr.. Hays believes excellent price
will be received for Idaho products
and he advises the farmers to hol'

WATERS OFPACIFIC REACH CANAL

PANAMA-The remaining bar
rier at the Pacific end of the Panama
canal was blown up by dynamite
Sunday morning. At $50 O'Clock
an electric switch was turned on
and hundreds of tons of mud and
stones were thrown high in the air
as the thunderous roar of the ex-
plosions re-echoed in the nearby
hills.
Equally interesting as the explo-
sion was the actual breaking of the
barrier in the afternoon, the tide
creeping steadily up until at 1:35
O'Clock it was level with the top OF
the gap. A workman seized a
shovel and made a small trench
through which a rill of water trick
led. Gradually it widened until ar
hour later a raging torrent with q
35-foot fall poured through an open
ing 400 feet wide into that part O
the canal between Gamboa dixie ano
the Mirafores locks, which previ
ously had been excavated by stean
shovels.
This cut which is 5000 feet long
500 feet wide and Al feet deep be
low sea level, was entirely filled b,
3 o'clock, when the waters OF tn
Pacific laved for the first time tn
solid masonry of the Mirafiore
locks.
5 Dredge spassed through the open
ing Sunday night and In few day
the last vestiges of the barrier WI
be removed, leaving a practical
Il completed channel at the Pacit
S end. The dredges will begin c
September to remove the last ba
+ rier Of the Atlantic channel. Wh'
: this work is accomplished shi
e may navigate to the locks from DO
l. ends.

HOME CANNING PLANTS.
They are Strongly Advised by Fruit
Commissioner SinseI of the
Short Line.

c. J. Sinsel, fruit commissioner
for the Oregon Short Line railway,
spent Thursday in town, says the
Twin Falls News. He is enthusi-
astic over the outlook for fruit this
year. The fruit has highest quality
that has ever been produced in the
state. The market prospects are
favorable.
Il want to advocate the farmers
putting in lot Of these home or
neighboring canning outfits, said
Mr.. Sinsel. These outfits can be
bought for anywhere from s75 to
$3.50. The larger sizes will put up
five tons of fruit a day. They can
be set up right i'll the orchard and
lots of time and injury to the fruit
will be saved.
There should be evaporators all
through this country too. 1t makes
no difference how carefully the fruit
crop is handled, there will be wind
falls, culls, seconds and damaged
stuff that should never under any
circumstances be sent onto the
market.
THE home canning outfit car
set in the early spring with the
asparagus, then rhubarb, beans
peas, and then the fruit would come
along in order. All this stuff Il
salable. 1t can be sent to the ware

SURE SOME PLACE.
Such Is the Expression of One Who
Has Visited Jerome and Noted
Its Environments.

Spokane, Aug. 25, 1913.
Editor Lincoln County Times.
If had been asked about Jerome,
Idaho, year ago, should have replied
in the words used over the entrance to
one of your acreage homes. jerome?
"Just a mere place" Perhaps the fame
OF Twin Falls would have shadowed its
name because of its nearness to Jerome,
but Jerome itself would have meant a
small town in the lower right hand cor
ner of Idaho's map, in an unknown part
OF the state.
But now have seen it and Jerome is
neither blurred nor intensified by its
nearness of Twin Falls. 1t stands by it.
self as an excellent example of what
western perseverance and pluck, plus a
little money OF the east can do in all
amazingly short time. 1t was but few
years ago that the first well was being
dug and the first shacks scattered over
the sage brush lands. Now-the wells
have been multiplied many times over
compact square houses have taken the
place of settlers shacks and green lawns
have supplanted the sage brush. A
stranger thinks these square, sturdy
homes are typical OF the people who ar
making this part of the country. The,
are built on plan that can so easily b.
added to,-and that seems necessary in ;
community which has SO rapidly spread
on every side and in every direction.
The standing fields OF tall grain, s.
full and heavy, and the green stretche
of alfalfa, so plentiful in crop attest t
the richness OF the soil and the varyin
crops, whether potatoes, beans or fruit
prove the value of this same alfalfa as
sub-soil. The poplar sentinels OF tn
irrig ition bitches disclose the reason 10
this richness whether they be guardin

smaller canals near the acreage homes
Everything speaks of hard work in tn

Mrs. A. Hatfield of Portland, Ore
gon, who owns a 400 acre ranch
west of Eden, of which $50 acres
are in alfalfa, was in town Wednes-
day of last week. Mrs. Hatfield
has Just sold 800 tons of alfalfa for
$4,000 and has about the same
number of tons left. She feels she
has sold her crop at a profit. The
reporter for the Times investigated
crop conditions in this community
and learned that Mr.. Fred Sayre,
who has splendid ranch adjoining
the townsite has sold part OF his
crop of alfalfa to local people at
SS. 90 a ton. The above facts should
be of interest to local ranchers as it
illustrates vividly the advantages Of
living near a main line Junction, in,
stead of being adjacent to a small
town on a branch railroad. Bliss

North Side Grain
Makes a Showing
The Record Beaten for Crops
in this Section.

Many OF our farmers and visitors
to the tract during the past sum-
er have noted with much interest
the fine crops of grain on the Over
brook Farm, northeast of town,
owned by d. G. MacWatters, and
much speculation has been INDUCED
in as TO the probable yield of the
same. This grain was threshed
last week, and the following figures
are authentic, as taken from the
machine record.
The California feed barley went
II bushels per acre. This barley
was secured from the Gooding Ex-
pertinent Station and it is pedigreed
seed. 1t is very valuable for its
feeding qualities, and especially val
liable on large stock ranch such as
the Overlook Farms.
The common barley went 63
bushels TO the acre.
The Decklow wheat went 5l3 bus.
to the acre. This wheat would
have made quite a little heavier
but the straw was so heavy that
quite a little of it went down before
it was cut. Defiance went 81 bush.
els TO the acre. This is probably
the highest yield Of wheat in thii
section of the country, at any rat'
the highest that has been secured
on the North Side Tract. The De
fiance wheat is hard spring wheat
and is the only wheat which tn
Colorado millers will buy. Thl
wheat was secured from the Good
ing Experiment Station and wa
formerly from seed brought fror
Colorado.
The Lincoln oats went 100 bushel
per acre, and some new pedigree
seed called Scotch New Market
which was secured through Profe:
sor Olin, from Colorado, and whic
the Professor states is the best yielo
ing oats that he knows Of, went IL
bushels per acre. These are gooc
bright seed oats, and will probabl
weigh quite little over 40 pounc
to the bushel.
This is practically the first SCI
son that a true test OF North Sic
soil has been made, as it is unive
sally conceded that our land mu
first be cropped to alfalfa or Glow
to get the best results.
The above however. is practic
demonstration OF what our soil
competent to produce, and is
much more powerful argument thi
volumes of literature. The atte
ton of our eastern readers and farr
ers is called to the above stat
ments. OF course we know tn
the above yields seem almost
credible to the eastern farmer WI
seems satisfied with less than hi
such crop. but this is only II
example of what can be done IN Il
irrigated section.

TO BREAK THE RECORD
A Large immigration Anticipated to
the Inter- Mountain Districts
this Fall.

1t is a we'll known fact that the
various continental systems Of our
railways keep in close touch with
in various parts of the
and are in a position to
Judge far ahead not only as to the
movement of crops, but also the
likelihood as to passenger traffic.
From these sources eminates the
following dispatch:
Chicago. Aug 26.-Inquiries at
the railway ticket departments of
the various railroads leading into
the west, indicates that there will
be tremendous immigration to the
irrigation districts of the Inter
Mountain countries this fall and win
ter. The bulk Of the travel will
come from Oklahoma, Kansas, Mis-
souri,, Iowa and other midwest
states.
Glowing reports are brought back
by visitors who have been to Idaho,
Montana and Colorado. Crops are
said to be remarkably fine there and
even the non-irrigated grain will
yield heavily.
In the past the great bulk of travel
has been to the coast points with
stop-over privileges on the way
The run of inquiries however, indi.
cate that the inter-mountain regions
are the preferred destinations.
Follow-up letters to find out what
caused such inquiry shows about II

of going to an irrigation section TO-
several years, so per cent come from
people who have friends in the irri
gated west who have urged them t.
pull up stakes and move, 25 pc

ments and articles about farm yield
under irrigation and the remainde
intend to go because their friend
are going.
Low rates will be given to home
seekers during the fall and winter
1t is believed that the number
tickets sold will surpass all previol
records. "
We, of the North Side, can col

Every Child Should
Be Given This Tonic

When children have no appetite:
when they are continually peevish and
irritable; when they are restless in
their sleep. 1t is almost a certain in
dication that their digestive organs
are troubled with worms or other
parasites. This is very common all
ment and easily remedied. Physi-
clans will tell you that nearly every
child Is so troubled at some time and
in fact. many adults suffer in the
same way. Among adults this trou-
BILE Is invariably referred to as indi-
gestion, when in reality 1t Is due to
a small parasite which infests the in
testinal tract.
For children. Jayne's Tonic Vermi-
fuge Is unsurpassed. as 1t Is not only
destructive to these parasites, but
completely removes the nests in which
their young are deposited. Seldom
does It purge, and the improvement
in the health of the child will be the
first and best indication of the oene-
ficial results of the medicine. NO,
only will the Vermifuge destroy al
the parasites, but its wonderful tonic
effects. will restore the digestion whlch
has been impaired.
For children the addition OF a III
tie sugar will make 1t so palatabl'
that they will take 1t readily NIL
