New Plymouth, Ida, April 8, 1914.
Hon. Franklin X. Lane,
Secretary of the Interior,
Irrigation Conference,
Denver, Colorado.
Dear Secretary:
The settlers on that portion of the
Government Boise Irrigation project
lying north OF the Boise river, at a
largely attended by settlers represent
ing over $4,000 acres of these lands,
directed their committee to transmit
to you the following resolution:
lnasmuch as these lands in this por-
ton OF the Boise project were Segre-
gated under the Reclamation Act 10
years ago, and by and through that
segregation and the representations
of our Government we were led and
induced to seek and secure our homes
thereon, and by the provisions and
application of the Homestead law as
applied to these segregated lands, we
have been compelled to and have
made our residence upon these dry
homesteads during all this period, and
have in all respects faithfully COM
| piled with all the provisions of the
law, and have used all OF our money
and our energies in our efforts to
comply with the law and to secure
and improve our homes, and at this
time find our resources exhausted, our
homes uninhabitable, our families al
most destitute, and our hopes all but
destroyed; and all because our Gov
eminent is just now hesitating on the
fulhllment of its promises and the
discharge of its most binding moral
obligations.
Therefore, we do here at this time
most respectfully urge that our gov
eminent through its Interior Depart
ment proceed at once with organiza-
ton and plans to reclaim these lands
and protect our homes and our fami.
lies and secure and set aside suffici-
ent funds for that purpose

Have You Heard From New Jersey3


The Progressive leaders, and a
great many of the common people,
read the returns from the special con-
with surprise. The Democrats were
as we'll they might be. This election
Democratic member of Congress who
llcan nominee, Dow H. Drukker, was
elected by more than 5000 plurality
over the Democratic nominee; and by
over 400 votes over the combined
votes of the Democratic and Progress
sive nominees. At this election the
Republican nominee received l0,d69
votes; the Democratic nominee 5l43;
the Socialist, 51l0; Progressive, esti-
mated at 600 and perhaps less. At the
general election last fall in this dis
trict the Republican nominee received
5000 votes; the Democratic nominee
1890 and Progressive 4746. These re-
turns indicate the speed with which
the Progressives are returning to the
Republican party. An analysis of the
returns shows that the Republicans
gained 1908 votes and the Progress
sive party lost 4l46 votes in little
over a year. President Wilson and
his advisers should take the lesson to
heart. In his home state, and in spite
of his personal endorsement and sol
icitation, the administration was ab~
solutely repudiated by the people at
the polls.

hcan gains These elections show that

enterprise and it's worth to the
people engaged agricultural
enterprises in this section.
G. E. Morton, professor of ami
NAL husbandry in connection with
the Agriculture college, gave a
lesson in dairy COW judging, and
followed this with a short talk on
the value of silage feeding. This
talk was deemed Of special value
in view of the greatly increased
interest of milk production here.
Many questions were asked evil

intelligent in connection with this
milk producing enterprise.
H. M. Bainer, agricultural
demonstrator for the Santa Fe,

and application. 1t was stated

Gone Before

The community was saddened
this week by the news that Joseph
Benedict, the infant son Of Mr..
and Mrs. j. A. Cline, had passed
away Monday morning, death re-
sulting from pneumonia.
The little fellow was II months
old, but was an unually bright
and lovable child. Funeral SER
vices were held Wednesday after
noon from the Catholic church,
the Rev. Father j. A. Bastain of
Lamar officiating. There were
many floral offerings.
The sympathy of this commun-
ity is extended to the bereaved
relatives, and the Good Father

Rousing Meeting.

About fifty business men and
milk dealers held good meeting
at the Commercial club ROOMS last
Thursday evening, the object of the
meeting being for general discus
sion of the milk industry.
Many points in favor of this in
dustry were put forth and discussed,
and not one dissenting voice was
heard. Men who have had expert.
ence in this business in other To-
calities were present and gave the
result of their experiences, all show.
ing that dairying is one of the big
gest money makers that a farmer
can have.
For instance, one man from this
town is at present shipping the
milk from three COWS to the con.
densary in Lamar, and his returns
SO far have averaged $1S per week.
Of course he has good COWS and
they are at present giving an ex-
traordinary amount of milk but a
profit of $lOO per year per COW is
shown to be no unusual produc-
ton, and If a COW does not make
this profit it should be sold for
beef purposes.
Mr.. Gotten, an experienced dairy
man from Cheyenne, made short
address giving the results of what
dairying is doing for that section,
and he figures this industry is the
greatest one in the world for
farmer to tie too. Mr.. j. M. Wells
told what the milk industry was
doing for New York state, and
strongly advised our people to
enter same at once.
Several more meetings will be
held soon, and all people are invited
to attend.

Civic Club Reception

The regular Civic club meeting
was held at the club rooms last
Tuesday afternoon, and was
probably as largely attended as
any in the history of that organ
ization.
After the usual business had
been transacted the club held an
informal reception in honor of
Mrs. E. L. Brown, who had been
elected president shortly before
taking Western trip, and this
being the first meeting over which
she had presided.
The members had prepared a
delicious luncheon, which was
served in the club rooms and a
enjoyable afternoon was spent
by all.

under proper condition, to become
one of the greatest in the state
of Colorado. A note of warning
was sounded by DIR. Glover
against the Indifferent manner of
handling these diseses, and the
penalty that is sure to follow such
laxity. He stated that Colorado
is just receiving its seeds of the
diseases mentioned, and that
these may be stamped out if the
right precautions are adopted.
P. X. Blinn, director of expert
mental station work at Rocky
Ford and connected with the
Agricultural College, alfalfa and
cantaloupe expert, was called to
Rocky Ford where his son, Clar-
ence Blinn was seriously hurt by
contact with an electric wire Fri
day. Up to receiving this dis
tressing information, Prof. Blinn
was one of the lecturers in con-
nection with the train, spec
ializing on alfalfa. The sad new
depressed the entire party aboard
the train.
Speaking of the attitude of
Holly people towards the demon
stration train method, DR.. Glover
said: 1T is my judgment that
the demonstration train method
is one one of the most forceful
and effective for the dissemina-
ton of valuable information
among the farmers, dairymen
and stockmen. We are gratified
by reason of the awakened inter-
est among our friends engaged in
agricultural enterprises of the
various sorts. They are active
and aggressive in their desires for
better and fuller information,
and there will doubtless be much
correspondence of the worth
while variety growing out Of this
trip over the Santa Fe. l feel
that we are now reaching that
stage in our work where it is safe
to assert that we are making some
real progress. Our time is too
limited in connection with this
character of enterprise to do the
most thorough work, and yet we
know that it has value---per-
haps greater than we realize. 1t
is one of the avenues through
which we bring to the farmers.

are glad to know that they appre-
ciate it."

Something Different.

Mr.. w. j. Pratt announces some
thing entirely different from the
usual run of events for his store
after it reaches its new location,
which it will do by Saturday.
He has originated an entirely
new selling plan, which will be as
follows:
ANY person trading at the store
will either be required to pay cash
for all goods upon delivery, or else
before the goods leave the store
will have to sign note for same.
For instance: suppose You are
in the habit of running a $40 ac-
count each month, you sign note
for $40, when you pay this note it
is Immediately extended for thirty
days more and your credit is good
for another $40. The notes bear
no interest.
by selling strictly for cash the
good consumer does not have to
pay the bills contracted by the man
who does not pay,
The advantage of the plan is
this: by being absolutely secured
as to the money end, Mr.. Pratt will
be in position to sell goods at a
very low margin, thus his custom.
ers will reap the benefit.

ing for Sl.OO Mr.. Pratt will sell
you 20 pounds for Sl.O0. Flour is
