day is lost sight Of to a great extent.
Now, however, that We are getting down
to normal conditions, We would suggest
that some attention be given to this day
which Is among our most important
National holidays.
We believe patriotic spirit still pre-
dominates in the minds of the citizens Of
jerome as well as in the citizens OF other
towns, and it needs only some one to
take the initiative to arouse this spirit.
and with our Civic Club and other or
CARNATIONS here, there is no excuse why
the day should be entirely forgotten.
While it is too late this year to take
any steps, We simply call attention to
the matter at this time, trusting that
another year some Of our societies or
the churches will take the matter mp in
time and see to it that Jerome gives
proper observance to the day.

CALIFORNIA STOCK STARVING.
Owners of Animals Hunting Pasturage
Throughout Idaho and Ad-
joining States.

1t was only short time ago that
California inaugurated quarantine
against Idaho hay, not realizing at
that time how soon they would be
forced to call for help from this
state for feed for their stock. A re-
cent dispatch sent out from San
Francisco says: Two years Of
drought in portions of central and
northern California have brought
the stockmen of the state to a point
where they find on their hands 245, =
600 head of cattle and sheep which
they are unable to feed and which
the federal government will not al
low them to feed temporarily in
Yosemite National park.
Despairing of relief many stock
men are moving their droves out of
the state into grazing grounds east
of the Sierra Nevadas.
Further referring to the serious
ness of this condition, the Twin
Falls Chronicle prints the following
letter received by the Commercial
Clup of that place, from J. Moore
which reads as follows:

Proclamation from the Governor De-

cises which should be Observed.

Tomorrow is decoration day, which
has long been given over az day set
apart for the purpose Of giving the citi-
zens Of the United States an opportunity
to pay honor and respect to the soldier
dead. We are in receipt Of a copy Of the
Memorial Day Proclamation issued by
Governor Haines, in which he takes oc-
casion to invite the attention OF the pub
lie to the proper observance of the day
as follows:
''It is oftentimes referred to as the
Soldiers Sabbath. 1t is day set apart
on which to pay honor and respect to the
memory of those heroic men, living and
dead, who, in the hour OF our greatest
national peril freely offered their lives
and honor upon our country's altar in
order that it might continue to live 1t
is day sancified by devotion to duty,
to the call Of country, to the highest
ideals of patriotic service, and it is, there
fore, day on which public and private
observances should partake OF a religious
character; all unseemly games and noisy
sports and shows which serve To distract
attention from the sacredness OF the oc-
casion should be discouraged.
LET us place flowers upon the graves
OF the departed, let us add something Of
pleasure to the lives OF those of that
grand army who still remain with us,
and let us seek TO inspire in our children
the same patriotic love of country an6
| devotion to duty which animated those
noble men OF an earlier day"

LOCAL OPTION ELECTION.

Next Wednesday, June 4th, the
voters of Lincoln county will be
given an opportunity to express
their sentiments by ballot as to
whether the county shall remain as
dry territory or whether the liquor
traffic shall be regulated by licensed
saloons.
The Times has taken no part in
this campaign. believing as it did
from the start the question was one
which was thoroughly understood,
and with as intelligent an army of
readers as the Times enjoys it would
not attempt to dictate the sentiment
of any of them.
The campaign has been conducted
very quietly by. both sides and has
been devoid of the mud Singing
usually INDUCED in upon the dis
cussion Of like questions. This is
probably due 10 the fact that the
newspapers up 10 last week have
kept out of the fight.
Up to the present time the Sho.
shone Journal has been the advo-
cate of the drys, and has according
ly enjoyed what patronage they
had To bestow, but We understand
that paper will repudiate its former
record and come out strongly in ia
vor of the vets. On the other hand
the Signal, which has posed as q
wet organ, came out last week in q
most scathing edition against
the vets. This has caused ugly ru.
mors around the county seat, and
the Signal editor is charged with
having prepared his edition and
then offering to suppress it for Z
stipulated sum.
We congratulate ourselves tha
we have not been drawn into tn,
controversy, which like questions o
political nature is susceptible o
differences Of opinion among GU
citizens. and we are willing to trus
this important question in theil
hands. content 10 abide by the rul
of the ma ajority.

FRUIT GROWERS TO MEET.

We have before US a letter from
the President of the Twin Falls
Fruit Growers Association, ,announc-
ing a meeting of the fruit growers
of this section to be held at Twin
Falls on Saturday of this week May
31st, with a cordial invitation to all
engaged in fruit raising in this sec
ton to attend this meeting.
The object of the meeting at this
time is to get detailed estimate OF
the amount of fruit that will be
produced, that steps may be taken
at once to find Il market for it, and
not wait until the last moment,
when the entire crop is dumped
upon the market with no regularity
Successful marketing of the small
fruits throughout this section ear
only be done through organization
and those interested in this indus
try in this section should have {
representative present at this meet
ing, and if thought best to atiiliat,
with that association in marketing
the fruit this season.

Taxing Carey Lands
Before the Supreme Court
Decision Handed Down Last
Week in the Bingham County
Case.

The supreme court handed down
a decision last week that is of inter
est to Carey Act settlers, especially
TO those in this section where there
is case somewhat similar pending.
The case decided was one brought
from Bingham county wherein the
right OF the county to collect taxes
levied against lands taken under the
Carey Act is questioned.
The Bingham county case differs
somewhat from the case from this
county in that patents for the land
had been issued by the government
to the state prior to the time of
their being assessed, the state with
holding the patent to the settler un-
til after his land had been assessed
The court in its decision says: !:
"On January 9Th, 1911, the date
on which this tax attached as lien
nothing remained to perfect the ap-
pellant's title to the land except
the issuance Of patent to him by
the state. On that date patent did
issue from the L. S. to the state"
II the conclusions of the court
are thus correctly reported it does
not have a bearing upon the Local
case at issue, for the reason that ii.
tie to the lands on this segregation
has not as yet passed from the gov
ernment to the state.
| Attorneys are not inclined to ex
press a decided opinion upon th'
matter until they have carefully pc
rused the complete and official con
clusions Of the court which will ap
pear in a short time. In the mean
time prosecution of the local cas-
will still proceed

SOME MERIT IN THIS.
Supervision of Carey Act
Projects.

A bill was recently presented in
Congress that may endanger all
Carey act projects in the west, says
the Irrigation Age. The feature of
the bill is that when five settlers on
any Carey Act project petition the
Secretary of the Interior, mention
ing that the management and the
state are not properly executing the
laws under the Carey Act, and are
not properly carrying out their con-
tract, then the Secretary of the In
terror shall cause the Carey Act
company to show cause why the
permit to operate under that act
shall not he revoked. In other
words, a petition Of five persons on
any Carey Act project in any state
would cause the matter to come to a
trial before the Secretary of the In
terror and could, under certain con-
ditions, result in forced abandon
ment of the entire project.
The matter has been called to the
attention of western people by Con-
gresham Taylor of Colorado, who
has sent n copy of the bill to his
constituents, accompanied by re-
port made by special committee
on Carey Act projects.
This committee was appointed b.,
the Secretary of the Interior and tn,

inference from this report is tina

contracts were carried out. No reports
were ever made to the commissioners
that the contracts were not being lived
