Il find you have some good cows
out here just as good as you will
find anywhere in the east. You
need more Of them, and more of
your farmers must know how u
take proper care of them. Often
the COW is condemned and the farmer
feels he has been defrauded in the
purchase Of the animal when the
fault is in himself. He has not fed
and cared for the COW in the way
to produce the best results.
! am right glad to see the state
and the general government is pay
ing more attention to dairying. 1t
is worthy of all the assistance it
can get because there are wonderful
possibilities in it. The problem of
feed is an important one with you
here also, and | am glad to see
50 much attention paid to silage
just now. 1t possesses wonderful
possibilities for any new country -

than two short months MIR. White
head has prepared and planted to
orchard l6O acres, the same having
been laid out in ten acre tracts, with
boulevard running both east and
west and north and south through
the entire tract, thus giving each
10 acre tract frontage on either the
main thoroughfare or the boulevard
along which shade trees have beer
planted, which in n very few year'
together with the growth of the
apple trees, will make beautiful

The work of Mr.. Whitehead wa

Idaho, has started the erection of a
large silo on his ranch near Bull,

This is the first silo to he erected in

food for dairy cattle will he closely

TO CONTROL POWER COMPANIES.
Secretary Lane Announces Policy of
Government In Disposing of
Water Rights.

1t is the intention of Secretary
Lane of the interior department to
control as far rs possible the rates
charged by the power companies to |
consumers, when these companies |
are seeking applications for the use
of public lands and water rights
with which to generate their power.
The first of the week he made pub
lie the announcement that the
lower rate charged to consumers 10y
electric power companies, the lower
will he the tax which such power
companies must pay to the govern
ment.
Mr. Lane has pending before him
several applications for rights to Use
the public lands and the waters Of
navigable streams for the develop
ment Of electric power. He j. OPP
posed Ia making use Of these waters
~ Il source of revenue To the gov
ernment, but is in favor of requir-
ing tile fullest use of them for the
benefit OF the people.
After carefully considering this
matter, the secretary has laid down
five conditions as an ideal standard
toward which To work in the max
ing Of the contract with the govern
mrnt and the applicants fo. the Use
of the power" These conditions
are:
/. The greater thc development
Of the horse power, the lower tn,
charge per horse power to be made
on the part Of the government
This is intended Ia secure the full
u-e Of the stream.
, The lower the rate To tie
CONSUMERS the lower the charge ui
the part of the government.
,. M charge whatever for
i period Of five ar ten years durinl
y which the company is finding il

I. Acceptance a. public utllit
" of the states jurisdiction over in
II terstate rates and services; and q
federal jurisdiction over interstat
rates and service.
u >. Absolute prohibition of com
= hination or monopoly and the righ
" Of revocation ON the part of tn
" government in the event that IT
- established Ia the satisfaction of tn
- secretary Of the interior or court
= that such combination has bee
~ made or that prices have been fixe
- 10y the agreement with competin
plants.
It at is my purpose, said Seer,
~ tarv Lane. Ito follow closely the-
4. conditions in the making of all #
ture contracts with power compar
re les. They are just alike to the sci
al er and the consumer of the power
lll they are fair to the government an
n they will make for the cnnservatio

Inv or combination, is of far great
no value.

Secretary Lane of the interior de-
partment Thursday settled a long
disputed question in relation to pub
lie lands 10y holding that persons
who take assignments of reclamation
homesteads upon which final proof
has been made, need not show
themselves to he qualified home
steaders. The secretary held, how
ever, that such assignees could take
and hold any one farm unit, the
fundamental purpose of the law ol
June %, 1910, being to divide irrl-
GATED lands among as many families
rs they will support. This ruling
reverses a regulation of the interior
department issued last February

ODD FELLOWS ANNIVERSARY

The services yesterday morning in
the Presbyterian church were of a very
Interesting character, the occasion be-
ing the celebration of the ninety fourth
anniversary of the founding of the In
dependent Order of Odd Fellows in
America The pastor of the church,
Rev. w H. Dodge, D. D., at the invi-
tation of the local lodge preached the
sermon. The text was taken from the
epistIe of James 2:8: ''Howbeit if ye
fulfill the royal law according to the
scriptures, thou shalt love thy neigh
Dor as myself, thou doest we'll" After
few preliminary remarks touching
the founding of the order of Odd Eel
lows, their progress and work during
these ninety-four years, and showing
the present strength of the order to be
more than two millions strong, and
that two hundred and thirty millions
of dollars had been raised, most of
which was expended in charity, the
doctor announced that the theme of his
discourse was Love-" the second link
of the mystic chain which bound the
members together in a un't ted brother
hood. The points discussed were, first,
the objects upon whom their love was
to be centered. which was not merely
the members of the order but all per-
sons who were in distress and need
ones neighbor; second the obligations
of this love, those arriving out of hui
man relations and divine require
ments; third, the Offices of love, which
were embraced in the powerful sum-
mary of sympathy, se~vice-support
and rescue or the saving of the fallen
and maynard
There was a good attendance, the
members of the local lodge, TuluIa No.
p, turning out in force, and much en-
joying the sermon. The floral decora-
tions of the pulpit were arranged with
lovely simplicity, and the music as
usual, was worth going a long way to
hear.
