Basis of Prosperity
THe Cheapest and Best Main Food for the Hogs and
the Dairy C0IOs that VIII Moke this Country
PrOsperOus-- Large acreage this Year.

There will probably be more alfalfa
put out on the Richfeld tract this year
than any other year since the tract was
opened. 1t is recognized that alfalfa
is the foundation for prosperity in all
these irrigated countries, and in no
place more than here. 1t is a soil fer
tilizer, a weed-subduer, the best feed
for the most kinds of stock, and the
heaviest, most consistent yielder of all
the food products that can be grown
here.
The growing of hogs on alfalfa pas
ture is the one great promise of the
hog business. While pigs need some
grain to 90 with the alfalfa, even from
the first and a little skim milk is fine
help also, the greatest food value comes
from the alfalfa, with the others as a
stimulant, corrective and change Of
diet, rather than as real growing foods.
All the hog growers who are planning
to make money on hogs plan to have
their stock in alfalfa pastures as the

principal source of food supply.
If the proposed "cow fund" deal
goes through and 200 to 300 high class
cows are. brought here this year the
growing Of alfalfa will pass from the
desirable" stage into that of a neces-
sity. The plan is likely to be complet-
ed any day and then the alfalfa grow
ers want to get busy and increase the
acreage Of alfalfa as quickly as possi-
BE.
The recent quarantine against Idaho
alfalfa, which was established by tile
state Of California because of the prev=
alence of the alfalfa weevil in three of
the counties of the southeast, has been
raised for the hay and seed produced in
all except Bear Lake, Franklin and
Oneida counties. You can plant seed
raised anywhere else in Idaho, without
fear Of contamination; and. the state
Horticultural department is quarantin-
ing the stuff from the affected districts,
SO it viii not be on the market.

Richfeld should soon have lots of
money on hand, when the cash comes
in for the highway district bonds for
$50, GOO which We're recently voted.
The bonds We're recently sold by the
highway commissioners, to Wright &
Co., of Denver, for par and accrued
intererest from January 1st. The buyers
are having the bonds printed, and they
should be here soon for signature. 1t
believed that every legal requirement
has been met up to the very letter Of
the law, and that there viii be no hitch
whatever in turning the bonds to the
and receiving the case in ex-
change.
1t is expected that the money will be
ready by the first of April; though no
date has been definitely fixed for the
final deal.
As heretofore announced, there will
be no money spent in high salaries to
experts of any kind. There is no great
problem to meet, no great
bridges, no bottomless mud holes. no
leavy cuts to make; PLAN, straight
grading and constant supervision win
cover most of the work This can be-

A NEW DAIRY.
1t VIII BE Operated on Large
Scale With rs Cows.

A new dairy is soon to be started, the
Holsteion Dairy, run by Mr.. Fields on
the Streitz farm northwest Of town.
He has ordered new delivery wagon,
and expects to go into the business on
a large scale. 1t is understood that by
the close Of the season, if the tract
takes up the dairy business as is pro-
posed by the "cow fund" loan, Mr..
Fields will have close TO rs cows on his
place. He will start the milk delivery
about the first Of April.

DO IT a BETTER WAY.
Recorder Linotype VIII Earn A
Better Living.

The Recorder is making a business
change that looks like a good one from
every point of view. The Recorder
purchased a linotype machine three
years ago this summer, but has never
had enough work to keep it busy and
'out of bad habits Then. too, there is
no good power available here and the
question of cleaning up the maching
for running one day in the week is
serious one. When Mr.. Jones, former
ly Of the Recorder, purchased an inter-
est in the new Gooding Gazette the
old Herald of that same town AN ar
rangement was made for him to take
the machine down to Gooding, where
they viii have enough work to keep it
busy and to keep an expert operator in
charge of it. They have electric power
there, for which the Recorder has
waited in vain for three years; it was
expected here three years ago last fall,
but is not now any more certain than it
was then. The machine does not wear
out with use nearly as fast as it wlll
rust out with idleness; it is better to
run all the time than to run only once
a week. The Gazette will set the news
matter for the Recorder and send it up
in few hours notice as it is needed.
In every way the change is a good one
for all concerned and it is being made
now. Mr.. Jones and his partner, Mr..
Doolittle, win have the machine run
ming in its new place the coming week.
1t is still the property Of the Recorder,
but good business dictates to take it
where there is power and enough work
to keep it busy.

immigration commissioner was abolish
ed after Major Fred Reed had been ap-
pointed to serve as commissioner, he
will be given a prominent place in the
exposition management, to use his
ability in publicity getting in that way.
The governor has vetoed the bill Gre
ating Carey Act commission of three
members; on the grounds that another
bill passed this year for volunteer ad-
visory board to assist in working out
some Of the Carey Act troubles will be
as effective as the more expensive
measure in handling the troubles OF
the past. The new commission bill, he
believes, deals mostly with matters of
new projects; and the most urgent
need a. this time is to get the old pro-
jects settled on a better financial basis,
which might not be within the province
Of the commission.
The governor has vetoed three bills
for the creation Of new judicial districts
-one at Lewiston, one at Caldwell and
one in Oneida county. As each new
judge would have cost about $40, COO a
year, the governor took the axe to
them with scant ceremony on the
ground OF economy.
A great number Of other bills have
been vetoed; among them being all the
bridge and road bills from every part
of the state except the Lewiston
Charleston bridge bill which was joint
with the state of Washington.
1t was to buy and make free bridge
of the great toll bridge across the
Snake river at Lewiston. An effort
was made few years ago to sell it to
the two states for $13O, 600, but now it
is to be bought for $50, 600.

Governor Haines has signed the Ryan
Public Utilities Commission bill, the
most important measure passed by the
legislature which adjourned Sunday
night 1t is in many respects a model
bill, with provisions that make it cap
able of handling almost anything in the
way of public utilities that can now be
conceived as possible.
Some idea OF how important it is con-
sidered may be gained from the state
ment that more than 100 applications
have come to the governor for appoint
ment IN the board; the number may
reach as gh as $50 by the time the
entries close. These applications come
from all walks OF life; from the polite
ian, from the student, from the man
who has not had his reward in lie,
from the man who is able and willing
to devote a few years to the state ser
vice without regard to the money in
volved. It is the be t paying appoint
ment in the state, paying $4,000 year,
the equal OF the state treasurer, the
attorney general and the district
judges, among the elective offices, and
exceeded only by the governor and the
supreme court the salaries for which
are $4,000 year. From so large field
the governor will be able to select three
good men-as good as there are in the
state.
Next in Importance is the bill provid
ing for new state educational COM
mission to supersede the present boards
of trustees for the state schools. 1t
will consist of five members and they
will have power over the state schools
as well as over the course of study in
the public schools, in fact it will be
supreme in all educational matters.
The members are to serve for five
years, except that the first board will
be appointed to serve for one, two,
three, four and five years.
An appropriation of $1,000 was
made for state exhibit at the Panama
Exposition at San Francisco. 1t has
been understood that, since the state

26th of March. The upper end of the
tract is still in the grip Of the frost
king, there being snow all over and the
canal being still almost full of snow and
ice which will have to melt out before
the water can run freely. But the wat
er will be turned in at that time.
There will be no shortage of water
this year though that is indeed su-
perfuous statement, for there is always
water to spare. But this year there is
more snow than for years past; the big
reservoir is already pretty well filed,
and there should be enough surplus to
almost fill the reservoir a second time.
There should be a magnificent cataract

Everything indicates good growing
season on the tract this year. Winter
grain is in fine condition; alfalfa seems
to have come through without losing a
single stalk or root. There was abund-
ance of feed last fall, so that all stock

One of the laws passed by the recent
legislature was that allowing the com
missioners Of highway districts to draw
a modest salary for their services;
heretofore they had served without any
pay whatever. AS it is an important
and arduous work, one requiring much
time and the expenditure of lot of
good business sense, it is generally
