ANY PROFITS IN
HOG BUSINESS?
WELL YES; 1T WOULD SEEM So,
FROM EXPERIENCE OF THE
McFALLS.

John W. McFan returned from Port
land yesterday after completing the sale
Of a small carload of hogs for the Nc
Fan ranch. Matt McFall. the proprietor,
states that he is well pleased with the
profits of the hog business. The ship
ment which was a small one, yielded
over $1,000, the price received having
been $3.50 per hundred pounds The
hogs. s5 in number were young, too,
from six to eight months stock, and av-
eraged about 140 pounds each. The
actual cost per head was less than 50
each.
The MoFalls have the ranch well
stocked for hogs this year, with nearly
fifty sows that win farrow early in the
spring. besides several hundred head OF
young swine now fattening. The hogs
Just shipped to Portland were fattened
ON barley after getting their growth
mostly from running on stubbie. The
proprietor uses potatoes and apples as
well as grain with good results in the
fattening process.

BLIZZARD THAT CUT OFF HALEY
FOR FOUR DAYS-MANY TRAINS
STALLED.

Probably the worst storm ever known
in its effect upon railroad traffic on the
Wood River branch prevailed last week,
cutting off train communication be-
tween Shoshone and the HALEY -Ketchun
and Prairie region from Friday till
Tuesday evening. when the first train
from the branch pulled into this town.
That was a relief train. The regular
passenger train had been stalled in the
snow at the FishIie since Saturday
and did not return to shoshone till late
in the night OF Tuesday.
Old timers say there has been nothing
like as severe weather. nor weather to
cause so much Inconvenience, in thirty
years.
Camas Prairie and the Upper Wood
River country was right in the track
Of a bowling blizzard for nearly two
weeks. Half a dozen trains were sent
OF started UP the branch day after day.
Even a rotary snow plow was ineffect-
ual as means of relief for the stalled
Trains. AL tHe country Was CUT O-A 4Oi

News received from Boise on Monday
was To the effect that the two bills
creating the new counties OF Gooding
and Rupert out Of the territory OF Lin
coin had received favorable report from
the joint committee Of the Senate and
House after protracted hearing
given the pros and cons in respect TO
the bills on Saturday night. The report
was favored unanimously. At the
hearing figures, facts, maps, newspaper
clippings, petitions and protests flew
about in the parlor Of the Idanha hotel
and for two hours advocates and
enemies of county division assailed the
ears of the committeeman and the crowd
that assembled with their Arguments
and counter arguments.
Senator Baldridge was the only
member of either committee absent
Senator Defenbach presided over the
meeting. He gave each side one
hour. p. Z. Ksrtzke. A. P. Seriteh-
field and Ralph scheenlock spoke
against division; s. r. Dampier, Fred
w. Gooding and Frank 4. Goodins
spoke in favor Of division.
Opposes Division.
1t was agreed to consider the two
bills as one and debate the PROPOSE
ton on its merits as a whole. Mr.
Kartzke opened the discussion, pre-
senting many maps and tables. His
chief argument was that the North
Side or Hnlsdale project was entirely
separated from the Minidoka project
and that to put it in county with
Minidoka would be unjust because OF
the small amount Of tax paid by Min
idoka because Of the unpatented
land. He made strong appeal along
this line.
Argument for Division.
E. r. Dampier, speaking for di-
vision. said it was unfair to speSk Of
the unpatented lands Of Miniooka'
10000 acres, as so per cent OF the
land was on the way to patent
through the efforts Of Senator Borah
and that the taxable value OF this
land would be IS. 100000, as against
S7sO, 600 in the Hillsdale tract He
also spoke of the 100000 worth Of
taxable personal property on the Min
idoka project now.

piers. Is IS by 20 tc 45 miles in eS-
tent. BY dividing it into three eoun-
ties there would be $3.50. $3.50 and

CASTING ABOUT
FOR NEW ORGAN
HAVING PLACED STEVENSON IN
THE DISCARD DEMOCRATS ARE
TO SELECT ANOTHER oaAcI -

LAWYER Hail of jerome is authority
for the statement that the Democrats
are casting about to select one of the
county newspapers as their party organ.
one that can be depended upon to dope
out the true doctrine once a week for
fifty-two weeks in the year. They had
hopes of making the selection last week,
but the leaders could not get together.
One faction looks to the Lincoln County
Times. published at Jerome, as the most
hopeful as it is the ablest Of the papers
with which connection is sought
sill another faction thought that
transformation could be wrought in the
Rev. A. A. Brown and make him Dem
ocrat after MS strenuous campaign ser
vice in the cause of the Progressives'
but Brown took another job to go
abroad for a lodge.
All factions unite in saying that r. H.
Stevenson, the late fire-eating editor
of the Gooding Herald but now some
what Gained down. would not be con-
sidered for a minute.
The old plant Of the Gooding Herald
is about to be acquired, it is said, by
Probate Judge H. b. Jones and H. o.
DooHttle. both practical newspaper men,
and the intention is to start new pub
lication there out and out. These gen
tlemen have the ability TO make the en-
terprise a so. Their paper is to

FOR AND AGAINST COUNTY DIVISION

spectively It cost between sec, ,0eo
and 500 600 to run Lincoln county
last year. It cost s275 TO take 10 wit
nesses from Rupert to shoshone in
one case.
This is not a question OF taxation
or distance. said Mr. Dampiere in
closing. 1T is question OF county
seat. The Kuhns own the townsite Of
Jerome. and they viii fight any prop
osition that does not make Jerome a
county seat
Ralph sehneelock. who followed,
resented the singing Of mud. He
thought there had been too much Of
this from the direction OF Gooding.
He asserted in defense OF Jerome
that the Kuhns own two-thirds Of the
townsite Of Gooding. and did not see
why that should enter into the prob
lem.
Appeals for a Chance.
Mr.. Sehneelock made a strong plea
for the North Side tract He said
that this had won the name Of the
BIack-eye Project of Idaho and
urged that it be given a chance to
settle its troubles first before being
injected into a county division fight.
Fred ". Gooding attacked the Pc
tition to be presented TO the com
inittees. he read communications
from persons whose names appear
on the petitions opposing county di-
vision. showing that some # the sig
natures were forged and pliers Sc
cured through misrepresentation. One
man denounced his name on a petit
ton as rank forgery"
Frank R. Gooding related the story
OF the fight for control at the pri-
mary when practically all Republicans
in Gooding voted the Democratic
ticket in the interest Of county divis-
ion. He said the issue had been
fought ont more intelligently and
more completely than ever before In
Idaho or any other state. and that
the people had decided overwhelm-
ingly in favor Of division.
Only selfishness. said Mr.. GoOding,
opposes the proposition now, Jerome
alone. he said. was standing out
against division. The Kuhns. said he,
think it crime to divide. He adj
mitted that Republicans voted the
Democratic ticket in the interest Of
three counties. but he charged that
Jerome Republicans did TIE same
thing in the interest Ct two counties.

PUBLIC SERVANTS
INCOMING AND OUTGOING OFF,

BANQUET BOARD.

NN-~-----~
week can hardly be coneIuu-1
brief reference to the theatre party and
banquet given by the incoming county
officials and their clerk in honor of the
out-going county Officials and their
clerks last Friday evening
The party, fifty-four in number,
gathered at the Courthouse. Thence
all proceeded 10 Baugh's opera house
where a specially arranged program was
put on for the occasion. During the
intermissious for the changing Of the
picture machine reels. a number Of
illustrative sldies were thrown upon the
screen, particularly setting out in car
feature the fancies and hobbies Of a
number Of the officers and clerks about
the Courthouse. This part of the pro
gram was unique IN that while the ex-
positions brought forth much laughter
and fun, there was not a discorda Mt
note. On the contrary the very best OF
feeling prevailed
At the conclusion Of the picture pro-
gram the party was led to the MeFall
hotel where a supper elaborate and per
feet in every appointment had been pre-
pared under the direction Of Mrs. Nc
FAN. The banquet was followed by a
number OF toasts and readings. Some Of
the toasts we're decidedly frank, others
decidedly witty. Many valuable suggest
ions were made not only for the bene-
fit Of the incoming officials in their
political life. but as well for the out
going officials in their private life The
Courthouse double quartette under the
leadership Of Professor Walker made
quite the hit Of the evening, singing
popular songs blending each TO each
The feeling was that the affair had
drawn together in better feeling the
elected representatives Of the different
political parties. and that it would have
a marked effeet in promoting friendly
feeling among all directly interested in
the proper carrying out Of the govern
ment OF the county. All reported a most
enjoyable time.
