COMING TO IDAHO.
Washington Farmers Taxed Too
High; win Move.

A. j. Richey, of North Yakima,
Washington, is visiting in Richfie.d ID
this week, to look over the land
situation. He comes as the person
al representative for number of
prosperous, hardworking farmers
of the Yakima country, who are not
well enough satisfied with condi-
tions there to plan to stay. They
are looking for something az little
more attractive than the high prie-
ed land and the extortionate taxes
OF their own section; and have
sent Mr.. Richey to look this coun-
try over for them. He will remain
here for several days, visiting old
friends and familiarizing himself
with the country He is a school
boy friend of f. S. Stewart, back
in Missouri, though he had not seen
him for many years, and did not
know of his being here. He was
also a friend of j. W. Fields, who
came over from North Yakima last
year, and was so well satisfied here
that he wrote back to Mr.. Richey.
Mr.. Richey believes that what
this country needs most is to have
smaller farms, from 10 to 40 acres,
which can be tended by the own
ers without depending much on out
side help, and which by intensive
cultivation can be made far more I
profitable than the large, poorly
cared-for farms that are inevitable
where one tries to handle large
of irrigated land without
having an Independent fortune to
invest. He represents the ideal
settler for this section, and it will
be good news indeed if the many
farmers he will make his report to,
conclude to come here and buy.

and struck rock good deal soft
er than was usual; it was an enS
largemeent of the vein, and he was
dumping the whole product down the
chute to be taken out in the cars
and milled. Finally the foreman
came through, to see what progress
was being made. How is the
ore?" was his question. Pretty
good" was the answer. "See here"
and Mr. Taylor handed him some of
the ore, soft rock that was shot
through and through with strings
of pure gold, and bound together by
these interlacing strings so that they
made a network of yellow. The
foreman's hair began to raise as if
he had seen a ghost; he had new
er seen such ore. Finally he found
his voice why, that ore will go
$4,000 to the ton," he finally man
aged to say. They got brooms and
swept the floor, the walls, every
where the ore could have touched,
and made a cleanup that has al
ways been historic in the rich o,d
camp.

FARM MACHINERY.
buy Enough Good Stuff To Run
Your Farm.

Attention is called to the new
advertising campaign carried on by
the j. A. Youngkin Implement Co.,
on a number of staple and standard
Recorder has urged the farmers to
see to it that every farm has all
its own machinery-and a mach ne
shed twice as big as needed, so
that everything can be sheltered
and cared for. 1T is wasteful to buy
good stuff and then leave it out all
winter, to rust and to rot and to
get broken and out of order.
The ]. A. Youngkin company has
the Rock Island plows and harrows
one of the greatest lines Of such
goods ever made. There is nothing
better anywhere, and few others so
complete, or SO satisfactory. 1t Is
a good deal of tragedy to buy a
high priced plow or other farm tool,
and then find that it is nOtdurable,
or effective, or that it is tooheayy
and efficient. Sometimes Cne can
buy tools that seem good enough,
which in reality are Of far too
heavy draft, and the power expended
in operating them is a dead loss to
the farm and the farmer. There is
nothing better than the Rock Island
line. The company also has the
United States Cream Separator, one
Of the oldest and most famous OF
all the modern separator lines,
and a type of machine which is abb
solutely essential to success in the
the Rumley traction and
dairy business. They have been
harvesting machinery for the past

WATER TURNED ON.
Canals Now Carry Plenty Of Wa
ter for Irrigation.

Water is now running in the
company canals, as wet and as
plentiful as any one ever wished
The Dietrich coulee is running full,
and the roar of the water makes
the sweetest of music to all those
who are interested in irrigation
which is everybody. The big res
ervoir is filling steadily, though
the real flood has not fairly begun
to come. About 1900 cubic feet a
second is being discharged by the
from the melting SHOWS on
Camas Prairie; but this amount will
be largely increased as the weather
gets warmer. The Big Wood has
sent down little flood water, though
there will be more of it this year
than for years past. Three years
ago, there was between 5000 and
5000 cubic feet a second coming
down from the combined Big Wood

AN IDAHO PIONEER.
Cattle to idaho Mines
Forty-three Years Ago.

G. w. Taylor, who arrived here
last week from Phoenix, B. c.,
was pioneer in Idaho, coming to
the state in 1869 He came through
from Texas that year, with a herd of
5000 cattle, bound for the great
mines of Owyhee county. At that
time, Silver city was one of the
great mining metropolises of the
entire west, and it's fame spread all
over the world. Mr.. Taylor came
through on the south side of the
Snake river, about where Twin Falls
and Buhl now are; they wintered at
the mouth of the Bruneau river,
south of Mountain Home.
Mr. Taylor worked for time
in the Golden Chariot, one of the
best known mines of the Silver
City district. One night, he, had
been working steadily in heading.

LET SMITH DO 1T.
Representative at Washington is
Anxious to Serve idaho.

The Recorder is in receipt of a
ticket of admission 10 the visitors
gallery in the House Of Repres n
tatives in Washington, with the
compliments of Hon. Addison T..
Smith, the new congressman from
Idaho. The Recorder does not at
present contemplate visit to the
National Capital, but the courtesy
of season ticket to the big show
is much appreciated. If any one
from Idaho wants anything done in
Washington, it will be well to re-
member Representative Smith as one
of the shrewdest, busiest, most
genial and most enthusiastic working
friends that any one ever had any
where.

w onder Who Is "It''
Long, Hard Guess as to Who Will Be
Fifth Member of Village Board,
and How He'll Get In.

There is probably no other village
in the state where the village board
met in shorter order than the one
in Richfield, to canvass the vote of
the municipal election. The law
says that "The board shall at the
first meeting after the election,
canvass the vote and issue certifi-
Gates of election to the successful
candidates." The election was held
Tuesday; the board met that even
ing after the election, canvassed
the vote and issued the certificates
before the ink from the judges re-
turns was fairly dry.
An interesting problem is confront
ing the board as TO whom the mem
bers will actually be. 1t has trans
pired that, although he was placed
on the ticket, and received the re-
quisite number of votes to elect
him, f. G. Lechleiter was at the
time of election planning to per-
manently remove from Richfieid;
and he actually did move the last
OF the week, to Twin Falls, where
he will make his home. Under these
he could not qualify
and be sworn in; and under a fair
of intent as shown
by his probable knowledge at the
time OF election that he could not
qualify, it would seem that he

WATER COMMISSIONERS.
Coates and Marsters Named BY
the Governor.

George Coates, of Bellevue, for
mer state senator from Blaine coun-
ty, and Col. E. Marsters, OF Boise,
have been appointed as water com
missioners to look after the distri
button of decreed irrigation water
in south Idaho. Both are well quail
fled for the work, and there is no
doubt of the excellence OF the ap-
pointments. 1t was proposed to do
away with the water commissioners,
at the last legislature. and to put
their duties on the Carey Act board,
the bill for the creation OF which
passed both branches of the legisla-
ture, only to be vetoed by the gov
ernor. The bill was vetoed because
of some inherent defects, and not
because of lack of sympathy with
the Carey Act problems. With It's
defeat, the water commissioners are
still in control of the waters.

could not legally be elected; there
fore, the next candidate in point
of votes, in this case R. J. Lem
mon, would be entitled to serve
on the board. 1t is suggest
ed also that another election might
have to be called; though it is very
doubtful whether there is any pro-
vision in the law allowing this.
The regular election was held; it
is not proper subject for a special
election, like bond election; and
there seems to be no power to call
one, while the matter of expense is
another point that should not be
saddled on to the community. The
council could appoint successor to
any one removing or resigning af
ter having properly qualified; but
in this case, there was no legal
qualification. 1t might be decided
that there is no way to fill the va
cancy, by appointment, by another
or by giving the place to
the next candidate who was prop
erly qualified to be elected and to
serve; in which case the village
would have to limp along through
he next two years of life, with only
our members.
No one is at present able to say
ust what will be done; and it is
rood subject for the guesser.
