AS most of the officers now serving
Lincoln county are already living in the

few new appointments to make here.
Two commissioners, surveyor, an as

two to appoint new; Gooding county
will have to appoint all but three.
The board of county commissioners
were in session last week and this, and
got well along with their plans for the
county business for the coming year;
but on learning of the passage Of the

a few days to save a lot of useless
work that will have to be done over for
the new counties.

Practical Information For
All Idaho HYigdtiOnists

One of the most practical bulletins
on irrigation that has ever been
issued has recently been published
by the Idaho state engineer Office.
This bulletin was written by Don II 4.
Bark, irrigation engineer in charge
of U. S. Irrigation Investigations in
Idaho, and gives complete history
of the Duty of Water Investigation
that he has carried on for the state
and the government during the past
three seasons.
This bulletin is reprint from
State Engineer Rebinson's ninth BIZ
ennial report and contains 90 pages
that are especially full of informa-
ton that will be of use to Idaho irri-
gators. The title of the publication
is Duty of Water Investigation, y
and this is gone into very exten-
sively,. the bulletin showing up the
amounts of water that have been APP
piled and the yields that have been
secured from over 400 fields planted
to different kinds of crops in the
state of Idaho. A condensed table
is shown on page SO which gives the
proper duty of water for diversified
crops on average south Idaho soils.
This duty is two acre feet per acre,
of which 10 per cent must be sup
piled in May, 80 per cant each
month during June and July with

ton. removed the most piquant ele-
ment from the fight. 1t is certain that
he would have been a strong contender
for the victory.
The victory is likely to be short
lived one. as with a democratic major
Ii ity in Washington no new republican
senator can reasonably hope to make
enough of record to win him popular
acclaim between now and the primaries
or the general election next year. Any
one hoping for a long term could not
we'll accept this one, without having
either exceptional ability or extraordi-
nary luck. The direct election of SEN
ators will doubtless be a reality by
next year, as most of the states are
ratifying the amendment to the ma
tional constitution; in which case the
senator will take the same course in
nomination and election as any other
officer. A two years term under ad-
verse conditions is almost certain to de-
stroy any man going in at this time.
Senator Brady has been interested in
Idaho for twenty years, during which
time he has been very successful in a
business way He was chairman Of
the republican state central committee,
going from that position into the gov
ernor's chair He was renominatsd,
but was defeated bo James H. Hawley,
democrat Mr.. Brady took his defeat
gracefully, however, and has been so
good loser that it gave him standing
in the present fight. He will take his
seat at once. He will without doubt
continue to be a consistent booster OF
all things for and from Idaho, and will
be one of the best advertisers of west
ern products that the state has ever
had.

an additional 16 per cent in August
and less than per cent during the
month of September, only a very
slight smount being required during
the month of April, earlier than
which there is no need for water.
The bulletin explains carefully
how accurate measurement of irriga-
ton water can be made and includes
a comprehensive table giving the
discharge of Cipoletti weirs in acre
feet per hour. Idaho's climatic con-
ditions for the past three years is
shown both graphically and by the
means of tables in such manner
that the variations of temperature
and precipitation may be seen at
glance. The season of 1910 was
shown to be very day one, while
the seasons of 1911 and 1919 had
considerably more precipitation than
during normal years, 1t is shown
that only about one-third of the
precipitation in Idaho occurs dur
ing the growing season.
The sources of and the reasons for
the loss and waste of irrigation water
are also shown up in a striking man
der. The principal losses of irriga-
ton water are shown to take place
by seepage from the canals them
selves, by surface wastes from the
fields and by deep percolation. 1t
The Richfield recorder. (Richfield, Idaho) 1909-1931, 1913-01-23

was found that the loss of irrigation
water from percolation to too great a
depth was in some cases eighty per
cent of the amount applied, while
the average loss from surface waste
on rather impervious soils was found
to be almost exactly twenty per cent.
The seepage losses from canals are
gone into quite extensively in the
bulletin, table being included
which shows the seepage loss from 5S
different sections of different canals.
This loss runs from 4S per cent per
mile where small amounts are car
ried in farm laterals to as little as
two-tenths of | per cent per mile on
the largest canals. Where porous
irrigated land was found Immediately
above canal, actual gain in the dis
charge of the canal was experienced in
some cases.
The bulletin shows in a plain but
striking manner that the loss suffered
by evaporation from canals is so small
as to be negligible in comparison to the
that is lost by seepage, Of the
total loss from canals by seepage and
evaporation loss amounts
to one per cent
The bulletin contains many other in
teresting factors that occur in connec-
ton with irrigation that are not gener-
ally known, and it is safe to say that
this bulletin is the best and most prac-

tical on general irrigation subjects that
has ever been issued in Idaho.
This bulletin should be in the hands
of every engineer, canal manager and
irrigator in the state of Idaho, for it
shows just how much water sheuld be
applied to the various soils and crops in
order to secure the largest possible
yield. 1t may be secured upon applica
tion to A. E. Robinson, State Engineer,
at Boise, Idaho

Brady Goes to The Senate
Wins Out After TiUO Weeks Fight Looked Like Dead
Lock Until Ailshie Supporters GaUe Way and
Made Election Possible.

James H. Brady, former governor of
the state of Idaho, was on Friday
elected to the seat in the national SEN
ate formerly occupied by w. b.
Hepburn, deceased.
After balloting for two weeks, dur
ing which time Brady and Judge
Ailshie had at all times been in the
lead, the Ailshie support began to drop
away as it was realized that the north
ern delegates would not all join in for
a northern man. Brady had 80 votes
on Wednesday, and then only 80 at one
ballot on Thursday But onThursddy
night, some of the legislators, seeing
that if anything was to be accomplished
in legislation this session, decided that
since Brady still had the most strength,
it would be well to end the matter, and
to elect him at once. The ballot on
Friday was in pursuance of this plan,
and Brady is now senator. He had
close, compact organization at all
times. which kept him up when others
with even greater occasional strength
were in the field.
Judge Ailshie would have had the
nomination the second or third day of
the session, had the Latah county dele
gates been willing to go to him on a
northern caucus. That they did not do
so, is one of the strangest, least un-
derstandable political moves of the
year. 1t is already charged to Con-
gressman French, and while others
may have profted at times from the
Latah county vote, the net result in
the state will be universally disastrous
to French, in the next campaign.

Only one vote against creating Min
idoka county.
Only four votes against creating
Gooding county.
This is the result of the vote for the
two bills to divide Lincoln county, in
the house of representatives, Thursday.
But that is only one-half the story;
for on Saturday afternoon the senate
also passed the bills, by vote of 10 to
5. according to telephone message
just received.
The two bills, with their overwhelm-
ing house vote, were sent at once to the
senate. The senate committee had al
ready heard all the arguments; 80, too,
have the other members; and it was
no surprise that the senate passed them
through on Saturday by the decisive
vote of 10 to 5. They are now up to

about ten pupils will be selected

PREVENTS Chance
OF MOB VIOLENCE
SHERIFF MOVES NEGROES
SEVEN PRISONERS QUIETLY
TAKEN TO PENITENTIARY
FOR SAFEKEEPING. ~

Keeping secret his plans until the
last moment, Sheriff j. S. johnson last
night removed the seven negroes held
in the Faulkner county Jail on charges
Of assault and white slavery to the
penitentiary at Little Rock for safe
keeping.
The officer took this action as pre-
Icautionary measure against the posi-
bility Of mob violence. The examining
trial Of the negroes before Justice of
the Peace G. NJ. Easterwood is said
to nave left little doubt as to the guilt
OF all the negroes arrested on the
charges, and when this became known
it caused a renewal of threats of mob
violence. Sheriff Johnson said, how
ever, he had intended all along to re-
move the negroes as soon as he coulS
legally do SO, but they were not COM
mitted to his custody until the exam
ining trials had been held. In order
to avoid the possibility of interference

ers to remain in Jail here.
Arrangements were made with Sta
tion Agent J. w. James to hold the
evening train to Little Rock at the
station, and the prisoners were not
started from the Jail until the train
had reached the depot. Chained to-
gether and guarded by half dozen
armed deputies, the negroes were
quietly brought down and loaded on
the train, few outsiders knowing
what had been done until the negroes
were well on their way toward the
capital city.

morning. J. H. Prothro, his wife and
Miss Prothro were attempting to
cross the railroad ahead of the west

NEW FEATURE OF STATE NOR

Perhaps few Conway people realize
the benefits that will be derived local
ly from the State Normal's practice
school" work on the building for
which has just begun.
Since the inception of the institu-
tion it has been planned to conduct
such school as part of the curric-
ulum of the Normal, the idea being
that the art of primary teaching
could be more successfully impaired
to the Normal students by actual dem
onstration than by textbooks alone,
but until this year no appropriation
to carry on the work has been avail
able. During the summer terms an
attempt has been made to conduct a
practice school, but it has been seri-
ously hampered for lack of building
and equipment.
At last, however, the construction of
a model school building has begun on
the Normal campus; one of the most
efficient primary teachers in the state
has been secured, and regular work
in the practice will begin with the
Opening of the session next fall.

President Wilson, now that he is a
summer resident Of New Hampshire
might take look at the New Hamp-
shire legislative lobby, being able to see
it with the naked eye. Being lobby
ist in New Hampshire is paying bust
ness as we judge from the sworn state
ments filed with the secretary of state
according to law. For example, one man
admits he received 1885 for serving
nine different concerns at the recent ses-
sion of the legislature; and Others trailed
down through the thousands Of dollars
into the hundreds. However, New Hamp.
shire keeps a watch on her lobbyists by
means Of the above mentioned law.

viii need to be very careful in his choice
of thoughts to be presented, lest he get
the affairs Of his office mixed with the
ideas which naturally are best fitted for
the handkerchief-sh shaking circle. 1t is
rather unfortunate that Secretary Bryan
feels called upon to supplement the sal
airy which the government pays him by
going out on the lecture platform dur
ing the summer and running the chances
of getting the two sets of ideas CON
fused. A salary of $4,000 ought to be
enough, it would seem, to keep up the
Bryan household and maintain GER
tain dignity which the office of secretary
of state is supposed to carry.

HAY CROP DRIED UP.
About Half iield Expected in Wind
ham County.

The extremely dry weather during
June and the first OF July has rendered
the crop situation throughout Windham
county rather precarious. The hay crop,
which is the principal crop at this time
Of the year, viii not average half
yield throughout the county and in some
parts it is doubtful IL it will be much
more than third crop, The river mead
ows, which usuallr cut good crop of
| hay, have been so dried up that they
will not yield more than half ton
to the acre. 1t is obvious that most OF
the hill farms will suffer more than the
river farms. Each farm contains few
new.seeded pieces upon which there is
a fair burden for the year. The crop is
very short in most all instances and in
addition, it is very thin at the bottom,
1t is a frequent occurrence to see nu-
merous spots in the fields where it looked
before the crop was harvested as though
fire had been through portions of the
field. Most of the fields which have been
cut are badly burned now so that the
second crop will be light and undoubted.
~ next years crop will be injured by
this drouth.
Corn is not as large as usual for this
time Of the season, but of course, fa-
vorable weather from now until fall may
result in that crop maturing well. Most
OF the corn lots look healthy, but it Is
short for this time of the year. This
is especially true where small amount
of fertilizer was used, while pieces which
were heavily fortified are looking we'll
This is too early in the season to specu.
late upon how the crop will compare
with former years.
Potatoes are looking well throughout
the country, ana the plants have good
color, but the dry weather, If continued
through the setting season, will injure
the yield. Many of the farmers of the
county have recently had good success
with potatoes, so that they depend to
quite an extent upon this crop. The
other vegetable crops are looking about
the same as last year. so that without
doubt about an average crop will be real
lied.
