They Are Coming.
ested.

On Sunday next the colonist rates
go into effect on all railroads, when
a greatly reduced one-way rate will
be made for parties from the east de-
string to come west. 1t is antici-
pated that the travel this year will
outstrip any previous record. as ad-
vices from all sources are to the ef-
feet that an increased interest is be-
ing manifested in the resources of
the west.
From private advices received from
different sources there are many who
have become interested in this tract
and will visit this section, some of
whom are coming with the intention
of locating here permanently. Many
of our nonresident land holders
have been patiently awaiting the con-
sumation of the plans under way for
an extension of the payments here.
some with the idea OF coming to the
tract to reside. while others wish to
make substantial improvements on
their holdings, but do not feel 5usti-
fled in going ahead with the same
until the matter is permanently set
tied.
We are advised by a party in Ne
braska who owns land near Jerome,
that he knows of thirty families in
his neighborhood that are ready to
come to this section just as soon as
matters are settled. Had these mat
ters been settled previous to this
time we feel confident that the
North Side would have witnessed the
greatest influx of people this year
that il has ever known, and even as
it is we may expect quite an increase
in our number of farmers this spring.
But there is room for all, and as we
have the best land as wei as the
cheapest that can be found anywhere,
we say let them come.

NOW A STATE PROJECT.
State OF Idaho Acquires Possession
OF the King Hill Irrigation
Project.

On Tuesday the 10th inst, the
King Hill Irrigation district. was Of
fered for sale at public auction, and
there being no other bidders, it was
sold to the state of Idaho, and now
the land board have an irrigation pro-
ject on their hands and in the opera
tion of it we trust that they may
gain some knowledge of the general
workings of other Carey act pro-
jects in the state.
There has been more or less trou
BILE experienced on that project ever
since the segregation was opened, the
construction company having failed
and last season 1t was placed in the
hands OF a receiver, at the instance
of the state and receivers certificates
were issued to defray the expense of
operating the same. 1t is because
these certificates are issued against
the Carey act fund that it became
necessary for the state to protect its
interests in the matter, and for this
reason they bid in the project at $780,
600, the amount as prescribed as the
least that the tract could be sold for
This outcome was no surprise to
Governor Haines and the other mem
bers OF the land board, says the
Statesman. They had been led to
expect It, Not one of them was anx-
ious to acquire possession of the
property, but they all agree that
$4,000 must be bid by the state to
secure the equity held by the state
in the property.
Just what course will be pursued
in the matter no member of the board
was prepared to say. 1t is the states
first experiment of the kind and ev-
cry step will be taken with extreme
caution. The whole matter will be
discussed in all its phases at an
early meeting of the land board. One
OF the serious problems to be met in
| connection with the enterprise is
the fact that it is considered neces-
sary to expend 100000 on the pro-
| ject in the near future to put 1t in
good condition.
Up TO this time the system has
| been in the hands OF b. p. Shawhar
who was appointed receiver some
time ago by Judge Dietrich. A change
will now be made. but Just what will
be done remains for the future to
reveal.

A FINE SHOWING.
4 Plan of Stock Insurance That
Should Interest Every Farmer
on the Tract.

The annual meeting of the Lincoln
County Stock Growers Inter-Indem-
nifty Association was held last Sat
urday, and the report of the Treas
urer, as made to the members of the
association could not help but prove
very satisfactory to them. This as
sociation was organized little over
year ago simply as local affair to
give protection to our farmers
against the loss of stock by death.
While no special effort has been
made to secure new members, there
being no profit in the business for
anyone, the membership has stead
lily increased until at the time of the
meeting the secretary's books showed
that the association had outstanding
contracts to the extent of over $780,
600 on horses and something over
$4,000 on cattle.
During the fifteen months that
the association has been organized,
there has been one assessment made
in the horse class, while there has
been five assessments made upon the
members in the cattle class. AS these
assessments are in an amount equal
to one per cent of the amount of in
demnity carried on the animal, it
will at once be seen that the cost has
been very nominal as compared to
any old line stock insurance.
During the past year the associa-
tion has paid losses on horses to the
extent of s145, while the amount
paid for losses in the cattle class
amounts to s345.4O. While the
money derived from assessments to
pay these losses has in no way been
a burden to the contract holders, the
payment of the money to the unfor-
tunate members has in many cases
been source of much relief to
them, enabling them to purchase
other animals to take the place of
the ones lost.
At the meeting on Saturday a new
advisory board was elected who will
have charge of the affairs of the as
sociation for the coming year The
new board as elected is as follows:
G. l. Towle, o. ]. Wilson, 3 years; ].
w. O'Connell, T. l. Robertson, ~ c.
Eakin, years; w. A. Heiss, L. T.
Alexander, 1 year.
Immediately after the meeting the
newly elected advisory board met
and organized by the election of L.
T. Alexander, president; G. l.
Towle, vice president; F. C. Pierce.
secretary; ]. w. O'Connell, treas
urer.
We believe this association merits
the close investigation by every
| farmer on the tract, as there is just
as much necessity for insurance on
his stock as there is for fire insur-
ance on his house or barn, and the
nominal cost at which it can be car
ried puts it within the reach of all
The secretary or any member of the
advisory board will be pleased to ex-
plain its working to anyone inter
ested.

CARNEGIE ON BUSINESS.

Mr.. Carnegie was ever an optimist,
and he seems with advancing years
to grow more stalwart in the faith.
But he is also an exceedingly shrewd
business man, and a rather trust
worthy forecaster. There is" he
said, mo more doubt that better
business period has begun than of
the fact that the sun will shine more
brilliantly In a few months than it
does now" 1--WE shall find, he said
further, "in very short time that
the reduction of the tariff will bene-
fit the American exporter" This is
not the voice of mere optimism, but
of sober truth. There is plenty of
evidence that may be cited in sup
port of the Carnegie view. Trade
reports are more favorable each
week. Idle men are being put to
work in increasing numbers. Steel
mills are resuming operations, and on
steadily increasing scale. Mr. Car
negie, therefore only reports what he
sees and knows.
AS to the new tariff, it is bound
to increase exports. 1t can have no
other effect. The fewer the obstac-
les to trade the greater will trade be.
Imports and exports will both grow,
and within a few years our foreign
trade will in all probability be larger
than ever before in our history. We
shall have a larger command over
the good things of life-indeed, we
already have It to some extent. Here.
again, the great patron OF circulat-
ing Libraries speaks as an authority.
For he has had much experience with
foreign trade, and also with the tar
iff as related to it.-Capital News.

When the currency law was pass
ed many promises were made that it
would be followed by legislation to
help the credit Of the farmers, and,
although no declaration was made
that such a law would be concluded
at the present session, criticism of
the republicans directed at the free
listing Of farm products in the tariff
law, demands, in the opinion of many
prominent democrats, that compen-
satory action on behalf OF the farm
ers should be taken as soon as pos
sible.
There are several bills now before
congress looking to the establish
ment of farm banks, and it is more
than likely that they will all termi-
nate in some comprimise measure
being adopted before the adjourn
ment of the session.
The question OF potato shipments
which has been before the interstate
commerce commission for some time
was definitely settled last week, the
commission holding that the tariff
regulations on potatoes published by
the railroads to be fair and reason
able, which allow the shipper the
choice between shipping at a lower
rate under special contract by
which the shipper takes the weather
risk or making shipments under g
higher rate, the railroad assuming
the damage.

Very Optimistic.

Senator NJ J. Sweeley, OF Twin
Falls. has just returned from quite
an extensive trip through the east,
and he is quoted in the Twin Falls
papers as being very optimistic as
regards future prospects in southern
Idaho.
These papers quote the senator as
stating that he made it a point to
talk with leading business and finan-
cial men wherever he went. and ev-
erywhere he found an optimistic
feeling as regards the future. At
Pittsburgh he made inquiries regard
ing the affairs of the Kuhns, but
secured little information and gained
the impression their affairs are still
in the air. At Chicago he inter-
viewed the vice president OF the
Northwestern Ry. Co., but that gen
tleman gave nothing definite re-
garding their plans in Idaho. He
learned that Pres. Bush and associ-
ates in the Gould lines were in Eu-
rope endeavoring to raise money for
the many improvements and extern
sions planned for the Gould system,
and that If they were successful
they would invade Idaho via Twin
Falls to Boise and Idaho Falls. Sen
ator Sweeley was given the positive
assurance that the Twin Falls-Wells
line was the only one at present con-
sidered by the Western Pacific in re-
gard to Idaho.
Concerning matters which more
particularly affect this locality, l was
informed by persons in position to
know that arrangements have been
practically agreed to by which the
Kuhn irrigation projects in southern
Idaho are to be taken over by the
bondholders and that as soon as the
transfer is made measures will be
promptly taken to meet and adjust
existing troubles, which. II done
| will be of very material advantage
to the Twin Falls country.

Mr.. E. F. stephens, a soil special
ist writing from Nampa. says: At this
time of the year it has hardly occur
red to the average farmer that the
soil could be losing moisture. In ev-
cry direction, as travel, l find farm
ers plow and allow the burrows to
stand open, steadily losing moisture,
waiting until the ground should be
warm enough to germinate grain.
The researches Of Prof. King have
demonstrated that at this season of
the year the soil can lose an inch of
water each week. II those open fur
rows could be disced or narrowed and
their places closed up then the abun-
dant moisture of the winter of 1913
IA could be conserved for future
use. Last spring l noticed that some
OF my neighbors seeding after the
winter moisture had been dissipated
failed to secure a perfect stand and
in some cases mad to irrigate to
sprout the seed. This is particularly
true and harmful in the potato crop.

Two new dangers have appeared
to threaten Idaho growers, says a
Moscow dispatch. AS yet they are
not a serious menace, and it is possi-
BILE that they may be disposed of with
some little trouble. The first and
more important at present is an ap-
pearance of the potato bug in the
northern part of the state. In La
tab county the insect has been re-
ported TO quite an extent, but as yet
it has not appeared in the south.
The bug is quite common in the east
but has never appeared out here to
any extent.

Work on the Arrow Rock dam is
to be pushed with renewed vigor the
present year, and the water users un-
der this reservoir have been notified
that water will be ready for delivery
for the season of 1916. This is a
year earlier than the original esti-
mates. The close OF this year will
see over s12,0O0.O00 expended on
this enterprise, which is the largest
irrigation project thus far entered
into by the government, but its early
completion indicates that the hand
ling OF these large irrigation projects
should only be in the hands OF the
government.

Iotice Served on Power Companies.

Notice Served on Power Companies.
The public utilities commission has
issued an order commanding the rep
resentatiye officials of the Idaho
Power & Light company. the Great
Shoshone & Twin Falls Water Power
company. the Idaho-Oregon Light &
Power Co., and the respective receiv-
ers of two of these companies, to ap-
pear before the commission on March
81 to show cause why a new uniform
schedule OF rates for electricity
furnished consumers by all of these
companies should not be issued. In
addition the commission orders its
secretary to notify the officials of all
of the cities. towns and villages that
these electrical companies supply that
they may attend IL they so desire. On
that date the commission will con-
duct sweeping investigation into
rates.

HLO YOUTH IS
VICTIM OF VERY
: BAD ACCIDENT

Especial Star Bulletin Correspoadence1
HILO, Sept. 10.--John Souza, the
12-year-old son of Frank Souza, met
with an accident last Monday morning
that may result seriously. The :ad is
confined to bed and thirty-two stitches
were put in his left leg. which was
horribly ripped up from heel % groin.
The lad lost a lot of blood before ne
was attended to and he is in 4 bad
way at present.
From what can be learned from the
boy he and number of other young
sters clambered en- to an euto trnck
that was travelling along the road to
Honomu and that when near the big
Wainaku fiume most of the boys jump
ed on the truck. Souza, the largest
lad of the bunch, stuck on while
longer. The chauffeur speeded up and
Souza, in order to enable himself to
reach the ground in safety, slipped
down and sat on the fender of the
machine while he dropped his right
leg tuoward the ground. He finally
jumped but his left leg became en-
tangled with the fender and he was
thrown to the ground and dragged
along in the wake of the truck.
The chauffeur did not hear the cries
of the lad and the unfortunate young.
ster was dragged for some distance be-
fore he became free and fell to the
roadway. Some passersby picked him
up and hurried him to his home, where
medical assistance was obtained and
the wound attended to.

Annexinq a Broken Fragment.

In taking possession Of German
New Guinea the Australians have an
nexed what once formed a physical
part Of their own vast continent. For
that mysterious island of cannibals-
the largest island In the world II we
agree to shut Austria out-in COM
paratively recent times had no Gulf
of Papua to isolate it from its big
neighbor. Alfred Russell Wallace
found that an %upheaval of 100 faith
oms would serve to join the land
ono more together. But the curious
fact remains that In spite Of their
common origin and ancient connec-
ton New Guinea and Australia are
peopled by different aces, showing
that the former must have been Wis
listed for the first time by human be-
ings after the separation from the
mainland Of Australia took place.
