CANYON COUNTY SILO
DATA
Useful Information Concerning
Silos-Their Erection, Cost
Advantages and Types.

The following article on the silo.
its construction, type and advantages
by H. A. Ireland, county farm adviser,
is very timely and will be interesting
reading to our farm readers:
There are 27 silos of all kinds in
Canyon county, more than half of
which have been built within the past
year. From prospects at this date,
the present number will be nearly
doubled this season. Of the silos
built, II are solid wall or "monolithic'
concrete, 10 are stave, two are pit,
two modified Wisconsin CONSTRUCTED
with vertical studding and double one
third inch siding), one modified con-
crete and one is built entirely of lum-
Der laid horizontally.
l have been desirous of getting
some data relative to the cost of the
various types, the degree of satisfac-
ton they have given, the cost of fill
ing, etc, for the benefit of others who
contemplate building silos, and re-
Gently, with this in view, l sent out
circulars to all the men owning silos,
requesting certain information re-
garding the above points. Replies
were received from sufficient num-
Der to give fairly good idea of rel
ative cost and efficiency, diameter,
height, capacity, cost, and cost per
ton capacity, with the following re-
suits:
Stave-Average diameter 13 feet,
average height 80 feet, average ca
paeity 79 tons, average cost 1854, aV-
erage cost per ton capacity 1921.
Concrete-Average diameter II
feet, average height 321a feet, aver
age capacity n tons, average cost
s243, average cost per ton capacity
S316
Of the other types of silos, the
modified Wisconsin" would be some
what cheaper than either the stave

A Good Newspaper

The Statesman celebrated its 50th
anniversary Sunday. A half cen
tury is long time, and newpaper
that can weather the storms and

planted in the hearts of its readers
as is the Statesman is no weakling.
The Statesman is good newspaper.
To our notion it is the best in every
sense of any other paper published
in city of Boise's size in this coun-
try. 1t is superior to many in towns
four or five times larger. And it gets
better every year.

LOG DRIVER DROWNED
IN RIVER
Oscar Johnson, Railroad En-
ploye, Meets Death in Pay
cite Near Smiths Ferry

Oscar Johnson, a Norwegian en-
ployed as log driver for the Oregon
Short Line, was drowned Sunday af-
ternoon in the Payette river canyon
about mile below Smiths Ferry.
johnson, with four fellow laborers,
was engaged in driving raft of logs
down the Payette river to the Warner
Bros. sawmill, located two miles below
Smiths Ferry, where the trees felled
on the railroad right of way through
the forest are being converted into
ties, planks and other lumber. In the
course of the drive Johnson clambered
| to the logs in the center of the stream
to relieve a temporary jam, after
which he either fell or dropped in
] tentionally into the swift current of
the stream, with the evident intension
of swimming to the other shore.
When near the south bank of the
river, johnson, for some unaccount-
able reason, turned back to the main
current in the middle of the Payette
river, and while still swimming
powerfully, suddenly sank out of sight
and did not again rise to the surface.
The only cause that can be attrib-
uted to the tragedy is that Johnson,
who was an excellent swimmer, was
afflicted with a sudden attack of
cramps, which rendered him helpless
in the swift, cold current of the river.
The body was recovered short dis
tance down the river from where the
drowning occurred. The remains were
shipped to Nampa, where they will be
held pending instructions from rela-
tives.
While the deceased was known as
Johnson, it is believed that his real
name was Ole Rambo, which was the
name appearing on the miners union
card issued at Burke, Ida, and on
pawn ticket and various other papers
found in the personal effects of the
drowned man.
For two weeks in the early part of
this month, Johnson had been in En-
NETT, taking treatment for muscular
rheumatism from DR.. Reynolds, the
company's physician. He returned to
his work about week before the sad
accident.
