new POWER PLANT
Three Towns in Eastern Part Of State
WIN Have Electricity.

The public utilities commission has
been called upon to pass on an appli-
cation for a certificate of convenience
and necessity" which will give to sew
eral eastern Idaho cities competitive
electric power for lighting and power
purposes, If 1t is approved, for such
an application was made of record
with the commission as filed by the
Ashton & st. Anthony Power COM
pany, a corporation capitalized for
$250,000, of which $4,000 has been
subscribed.
The commission will fix date for
"a hearing on the application late to-
day. 1t is stated in the application
that the Ashton & st. Anthony Power
company has dam for power pur-
poses in the north fork of the Snake
river, two miles west of Ashton, where
it proposes to have it's main power
plant located for the generation of
electricity for delivery for power to
the cities of Ashton, Marysville and
st. Anthony. Ashton has municipal
power plant, but 1t is stated in the ap-
plication the authorities are willing
to dispose of their pole line, etc., to
the Ashton & st. Anthony Power COM
pany. 1t is further set forth that the
company wishes to supply Marysville
with electricity as we'll as st. Anthony
which is supplied by the Utah Power

The contention is made in the ap-
plication that there is demand for
additional electricity in st. Anthony
and the Ashton & st. Anthony Power
company is in position to supply the
demand with its new power plant

MEXICO ISSUES
ITS ULT|MATUM
U. 5. Given Until Midnight to
Recognize Government
UNITED STATES HAS NOTHING TO
SAY ON QUESTION.
Mexican President May Give u. s.
Vlilclais Their PasspOrts-PrO-
nOunced Official.

Mexico City.-The United States
government has been given until mid
night tonight by President Huerta to
recognize Mexico, it is officially
stated
Inc government is not specific in
the public announcement as to what
course then will be pursued, but it is
understood that it means the severing
OF all relations between the two coun-
tries.
president Huerta, in his reply, told
the United States that he would toll
crate no interference, even though
that interference might be character
lied as friendly mediation. The char
acter of the reply of Washington to
President Huerta's note will determine
the next action in the international
drama
All those connected with the Amer
lean embassy refused to admit the
receipt of the note and that it had
been sent was not admitted Officially
by the Mexican government At the
embassy there was an evident desire
to appear optimistic, and one was led
to believe that Mr.. Lind still hoped for
continuation of the negotiations.
Those familiar with the workings of
the Mexican administration expressed
doubt as to the government again op-
ening the subject for discussion.
President Huerta's failure to live
up to what was regarded as the spirit
OF his recent note, in which ne said
Mr Lfnd would 3be regarded as per-
soma non grata II he did not bring to
Mexico the proper credentials togeth-
er with recognition of the republic by
the (1nlfp6 Sfa hoH ~
llc to believe there was a possibility
that he intended to receive with favor
in part at least the suggestions of the
washington administration.
1t appears, however, that the Mexi-
can governments unofficial reception
OF Mr.. Lind by Minister of Foreign Az
fairs Gamboa and the acceptance by
the foreign secretary of Mr.. Lind's
preliminary note was merely an ex-
ample OF international courtesy, due,
perhaps, to a desire of President
Huerta to make clear his record in
developing events. Those most inti-
mate with Huerta expressed no sur
prise in declaring that in their opin-
ION Huerta had voiced his sentiments
FULLY and unalterably when he stated
publicly more than week ago that he
would brook no interference in the
work of pacifying Mexico.
1t Is believed here that President
Huerta's attitude is likely to result in
the early adoption of policy of alb
solute non-interference on the part of
the United States which will probably
involve the lifting of the embargo
against the Importation of arms and
ammunition by the rebels
The rate of exchange in New York
Monday reached 273, and in banking
circles the opinion was expressed that
Tuesday it will be three to one. The
explanation given is an increased de-
mand for mercantile foreign ac-
counts coupled with the decreased
production and export of silver

CHASING HORSE THIEVES
Fremont County Sheriff With Posse Is
Running Down Gang Of Rustlers.

Hot on the trail of a gang of horse
thieves who got away. with 60 head of
fine work horses from the Mud Lake
country, northwest of Idaho Falls,
Sheriff Edward Harrop of Fremont
county, accompanied by a deputy,
passed through Pocatello yesterday
afternoon, bound for Blaine county,
says the Pocatello Tribune. A farmer
named Williams missed SO head from
his band few days ago. Officers
traced the thieves to Powell, from
which point to is suspected they
struck for the lava desert or badlands
north of American Falls, a fav0rite
rendezvous for rustlers. While trac-
ing the thieves officers ran across
dugout on the edge of the lava desert
wnst Of Powell, wherein was some of
the bedding stolen from Williams at
the time the horses were taken.-Ida-

EXPERIMENT STATION
FOR TWIN FALLS
Government will Establish a
Farm Here
TO STCDY DUTY OF WATER IN
IRRIGATION.
New Theory of the Time of Irrigation
Being More Important Than Amount
VIII be Thoroughly Tried Out.

through the efforts of Don H. Bark,
irrigation engineer in charge of irri-
gatlon investigations in Idaho, the
Iedefal government will establish an
experimental station at Twin Falls.
Mr. Bark was here several DAYS this
week, and together with a COMMITTEES
composed OF l.. T. Wright and M. ].
SWeeley of the Commercial club, w O
Taylor and w. E. Lewis representa- Q
the directory of the Canal company.
appeared before the county commits.
sloners with the governments promo
sltlon, namely, that they will main
tain and operate an experimental
farm here, providing that 20 acres of
lana De furnished, free of taxes, and
water maintainance, with 81 900 worth
OF buildings on the ground and con-
tlngent fee OF $500 per year be do
mated. The directors of the Canal
GO. agreed that their company would
bear half OF the cost, the commission
ers agreed to bear the other half, and
Mr.. Sweeley, acting for the CONNER
cial club, agreed to furnish the rental
of the ground, so that all that is nee
essary to complete the arrangements
Is to find suitable twenty acres
winch will meet Mr.. Bark's approval.
II 1t is not too difficult to find the
right place near town and on a main
road, Mr. Bark will have the new farm
ready for operation this coming sea-
son. s.
Sueh station as the government
plans to establish here will be entirely
different from any of the experimental
farms either within or without the
state. In the first place, whereas as
experimental stations at Gooding,
Caldwell and Aberdeen, are co-opera-
tive, maintained by both the state and
national governments, this one will
be under the control of the federal
authorities alone, and will have no
connection with the state department
OF agriculture, or of the agricultural
department of the University at Mos
cow
In the second place it will be devot-
ed entirely to the study of the Duty
OF water in irrigation. Satisfied with
minor experiments made at the Good
ing and other stations, that the great
est field of usefulness of such a sta
tion in an irrigated country lies in
the study of the right times of irrigat-
ing certain crops, and the exact
amounts of water each kind needs, Mr..
Bark will now try out his theories on
larger scale, and the farmers of the
Twin Falls tract will have a splendid
opportunity of watching the results of
the time Of irrigation experiments.
This new theory brought into scien-
tific agriculture, by the rapid extern
sion OF irrigation in the west, is that
there is certain time in a plants
growth, not indicated by the calendar,
but by the development of the plant
itself, when the plant should have
water. The minimum amount of water
applied. at exactly the right time, has
in the case of wheat, been proved to
be OF infinitely more value than
maximum amount of irrigation ap-
piled at random.

TR-C0UNTY FAIR
Jerome VIII Celebrate October l.. 9
and 3.
Jerome, Idaho. Aug II 1919

Jerome, Idaho, Aug II, 1918.
Jerome will have a tri-county fair
and street carnival on October /. 2
and 3, 1918.
Recently Jerome sent out invita-
tions to the people of Gooding and
Mintdoka counties to join with Lin
coin county In forming a Tri-County
Fair association. In response to, this
invitation, meet was held at Jerome
on August 8th and an ASSOCIATION was
formed. 1t was agreed to hold the
fair at jerome this year and at Good
ing next year, with Rupert expecting
to have it the following year.
At the meeting, officers were chosen
to carry on the fair as follows; Thos
Iayccx, president; E. G. Gauss. vice
president; J. M. Hale, secretary; Paul
Il. kartske, treasurer.
Work on compiling the premium list
has already begun, and as the people
or Jerome have subscribed literally
toward the funds required, and the
other towns and farmers are very
anxious to join in the undertaking.
everything indicates that the fair will
be great success.
The work of Professor Harry B.
Shaw at the government potato ex-
pertinent station here is becoming
known to the farmers over this part
OF the state, and the opportunity to
see this work and learn first hand
the results of his experiments this
year will be we'll worth trip to Je-
rome. Professor Shaw has promised
display and lecture on his work on
potatoes, which includes experiments
with some thirty-five hundred varie-
ties of potatoes and some three hun
dred varieties of sugar beets.
1t is the intention to have a street
carnival in connection with the fair.
so that the visitors will be amused
and entertained as we'll as benefited
by the show of farm products
The fair promises to be the biggest
thing ever pulled off IN this part of
the state. Jerome has made reputa-
tion as host that is unsurpassed, and
the people of the surrounding towns
and country are glad of an opportun-
ity to visit here
The Jerome Ladies' Civic Club will
have charge of those departments
dear to the women so that the success
OF those departments is assured.

UTAH TOMATOES CONDEMNED
Pure Food Inspector Finds 1900 Case.
Bad.

The entire idaho tuftfatu shi ysnen,
OF the Utah Canning company of Og-
den, between 1900 and 1900 cases, ag-
gregating some 10000 cans, was CON
demned Saturday morning by James
II. Wallis, state pure food commission
er, and ordered destroyed. A test of
the Ogden product has been under
way in the state laboratory for some
time, and H. L. Jackson state chemist
reported to the commissioner a condi-
tlon which convinced that official that
ne was taking the proper course in
ordering the destruction of the ship
ment
The tomatoes were reported to be of
an inferior quality, and the tin was in
pad condition. The chemist reported
that the action of the fruit on the tin
was sufficient to make the product
unwholesome and unfit for food.
The tomatoes will be shipped back
to Ogden and destroyed there under
the supervision of an Idaho food in
spector. H. l.. Harrington, vice presi-
ment OF the canning company, has ar
rived In Boise, and he and Mr.. Wallis
have reached an agreement to that eff
feet.
The cases In which the cans are
packed are valuable to the company,
and it is for that reason that the ship
ment will be sent back to be DESTROY
ed. The expenses of the Idaho deputy
who will inspect the destruction will
be borne by the canning company.
The agreement entered into by the
food commissioner and the company
is such as to insure complete des-
truction of the shipment and make it
certain that none of the product will
ever reach the market Mr. Herring
ton believes his company has cause
of action against the concern that
sold the tin to the canning company
and intends to bring Statesman

people responded literally, both morn
Ing and evening, with the result of
$4,000 In the total subscriptions,

the apes, including the terrible orang-
outang with the power of a dozen old
fashioned monkeys, and the gigantic
gorilla, who could set the whole forest
trembling by sending a booming sound
from his chest and who did not fear even
the lion himself.
What happened to the monkeys has
happened to the human race, which now
stands at the top of intelligence on this
pianet. where the monkeys once stood.
Over and over the human race, cOleC-
lively and individually, has done the
new thing, to be laughed at and des-
pissed at first, to be copied and applauded
afterward.
The first navigators and traders, men
of Jewish or Semitic blood, rislling the
storms of the ELECTROMAGNETIC
clans and others-were looked upon as
the madmen of commerce. They made
civilization and ultimate peace possible
by making different kinds of men know
each other.
The first man bold enough to sail out
of the Mediterranean through "the Gates
of Hercules" great rock of Gibral-
tar-and out to the great Atlantic was
denounced as suicidal mailman. He
was the monkey walking erect in his day.
He seemed as foolish and crazy to his
fellows as Columbus seemed when he
started on his trip, disregarding those
who told him that he would come ito the

and his brother said, "This is day of
disgrace for all our family
1t was no fun for that monkey to walk
off alOne--far from the cool forest. His
short legs got tired. The long fingers on
his feet were in the way; he walked on
the side of his feet to save the palms of
those "hind hands" from becoming cal
lous, and that was tiresome.
Very likely he ended badIy-some
panther, wild dog or other enemy got
him-and his friends, looking on as he
died, said: "That will be lesson to all
monkeys; none will ever again try to
walk on two hands or wander away from
the safe trees"
But others DID try it.
Thousands and millions of them died
learning to walk erect. A few, now and
then, found far from the forest comfort
able sheltered spots, where they lived
happily.
Little by little there came the whole
tribe Of monkeys walking on their hind
legs. They were no longer laughed at by
the conservative monkeys hanging by
their tails in the tree tops.
For the monkeys, after learning to
walk on two feet, could use their front

edge of the ocean" and then fall over into
the bOttOmless pit.
The whole of history has been repeti-
ton over and over in various forms of
the story of the monkey who decided to
walk erect in spite of ridicula and chatter.
The beginners showed the way and
were sacrificed. Others followed and
were happy.
The Graceful did in early Roman days
and forfeited their lives-what our an
cestors did successfully in 1776.
GiOrdanO Bruno told the truth and was
burned alive for telling it.
Calico taught men to look out of this
world at other worlds. They made him
apologize and deny the truth on his
knees.
Every public school teaches that truth
to-day.
Mr.. Hearst, who is quoted at the top of
this page, has had some experience, and
can talk of actual knowledge of the
pioneers work.
In any group of respectable reform
ers" to-day you will find men who, few
years ago, denounced Hearst for the very
ideas which they now advocate and upon
which they base their boast Of ''intelli-
gent radicalism.'
The demand for government owner
ship, for the parcel pOst-embOdied in
bill introduced by Hearst in Congress
the denunciaton of government con-
trolIed by organized capital, the demand
for the initiative and the referendum
and the right to recall and discharge from
office faithless and corrupt officials, in
Guiding judges-these and other policies
Hearst has lived to see broadly adopted
and fathered by those who only few
years ago denounced them as insane
radicalism or wild yellow journalism.
The world moves rapidly now, espe-
cialIy in the world of politics. And it is
hard even for those who have read these
Hearst newspapers regularly to realize
that the very individuals who denounced
them fifteen years ago, and ten years ago,
and even more recently, are now going
around, parading in office or in search of
office, and wearing as intellectual orna-
ments the very ideas that they once de-
nOunces1 n

banks-NOT to cheer and encourage a
brave man, but, as they said, ito see that
fool-crazy idea blow up
Descendants of those that called Full
ton a fool travel in steamships. Many of
them are now busy calling fool the man
who says that the airship will replace the
steamship and cross the ocean in three
hours instead of six days.
THEIR children-children of the pres
ent-day scoffers-will ride in the airship,
look down at the freight steamers rolling
on the waves far below, and wonder
whether it is really possible that any one
ever questioned the safety of riding on
the air.
Radical action and the soothing of con-
servative mediOcrity began, as w. r.
Hearst told his hearers at Cooper Union,
when the first monkey decided to try
walking on his hind legs, and to change
from the tree tops to the flat ground with
its thorns, snakes and other dangers.
You can see that poor radical ancestor
of ours walking away from the forest,
while his friends and relatives, hanging
by their tails or swinging from limb
with one hind foot, declared him crazy
and disgrace to monkeyhoOd.
The radical monkeys father said,
"WOe is met" in the monkey language,
