FARMERS OF THE
COUNTY PROSPER
Evidence That They Have
Cash Given by Auction
Sale Clerk.
(staff Correspondence


Meridian, May 16.-E. G. Pfaffie
cashier of the First National bank of
Meridian, is authority for the state
ment that the farmers of Ada county
are 100000 better off than they were
a year ago, in the one item of auction
sale notes. Mr.. Pfaff1e is in position
to know whereof he speaks. as he
clerks most of the auction sales held
by the farmers of Ada county. He said
at these sales for which he has clerk ed
during past years UP to and including
1918. the average amount of cash was
20 per cent that the farmers paid for
goods bought at these sales. They
gave notes for the other 80 per cent.
Farmers Better OFF Financially.
During the past year. however, the
condition of the farmers of Ada county
has greatly improved This is shown
by a further statement made by Mr..
Pfaffle to the effect that the farmers
SO far this year are Paying an average
of 30 to so per cent cash for goods
bought at such sales, and are giving
notes for the other 40 to SO per cent.
Thus 1t is seen that Ada county far
mers are paying from two and one
half to three times as much In cash as
they did prior to year ago, and are
reducing their note obligations from 80
to 40 per cent on goods bought at auc-
ton sales.
Mr.. Pfaffie states that the two prime
factors responsible for the improved
condition of the Ada county farmers
are dafrying and hog raising. These
two industries are growing by leaps
and bounds, not only in Ada county
but In all of the counties Of southern
Idaho and eastern Oregon.

GREAT DEVELOPMENT
ON CAMAS PRAIRIE

That the Camas Prairie section Is be-
coming great hog raising country and
also grain belt since the advent of
the railroad to Hill City, Is the report
of e. H. Hulser. who has just returned
from that section after spending sew
eral days there on legal business. Mr.
Hulser was greatly surprised at tho
amount Of grain planted and the num-
Der Of hogs being raised as formerly
the ranchers had devoted their time
and land to hay raising and handling
of stock, but with a shipping point in
the heart of the great territory, they
have branched out and added other in
dustries which will be of material
benefit to the country and add to their
profits, states Mr.. Hulser
After travelling over considerable
territory on Camas Prairie, Mr.. Hulser
was greatly surprised at the amount
of development and improvement there
since his last visit and from the plans
laid out he anticipates even greater re-
suits during the coming year.
While in that section Mr.. Hulser was
informed by residents that few Boise
hunters had been killing sage hens
there and instead of being satisfied
after securing the limit, had shot birds
simply to see them fall and left them
on the ground. On several occasions
birds that had been shot were found
by residents there and they are highly
incensed over the unsportsmanlfke
action. They state they are always
glad to welcome law abiding sports
men who visit that section.

LANDSLIDE CARRIES
HIRAM JOHNSON IN

San Francisco-Scattered returns
received from all parts of the state
indicated the following net results OF
Tuesdays general election:
Governor Johnson (Prog.) has wor
a reelection by a plurality that ap
proaches landslide proportions ovel
Captain John d. Fredericks (Rep.)
with the democratic candidate, John
B. Curtin, distant third.
The vote for United States senator
was so close between James d. Phelar
(Dem.) and Joseph r. Knowland
(Rep.) as to make a forecast of the
final result mere hazard. On the
face of early returns, Francis ]. He
ney, the progressive candidate, was 6
tagging third.
John NJ. Eshelman Prog.) has beer
elected lieutenantgovernor over ]. V
Snyder Oem.) by vote that threat
ened on the scattering count to exceed
two to one.
Two proposed laws in which the in
terest throughout the state was in
tense-that providing for statewide
prohibition, and the universal eight
hour work day measure-have gone
down to overwhelming defeat. Seem
ingly prohibition has lost by almost
two to one, while the margin Of vic
tory for the opponents of the eight
hour law is much greater.

DRYS CLAIM OREGON
They Say Victory is Theirs BY a
Majority of 10000.

Portland, Or-The prohibition for.
ces are claiming 10000 majority
Scattering returns seemed to indicate
that the country precincts would de.
liver large vote for the drys, while
many towns and county seats were
reporting strongly against the vets.
One of the surprising features was
the apparently close vote in Multno
NAH, Clatsop and Wasco counties,
where it had been expected the vets
would show their heaviest strength
According to returns received at the
headquarters of the Committee of One
Hundred, which had charge of the dry
campaign, gains were being made
where least expected and it was de-
clared that if the proportion of gains
continued big majority for the drys
was certain.
The towns of Coquille, Newport, To
ledo, Bend, Tillamook and Troutdale
were giving a majority for prohibition,
while the returns showed a close vote
in ST. Helens, Oregon City and The
Dalles. Nearly all the Willamette val
ley towns were expected to give pre-.
ponderance of dry votes. There was
strong indication that eastern Oregon
would deliver a substantial majority
for the drys.

ity.
The prohibition issue is in doubt.
Multnomah county, by giving sub
stantial majority against prohibition.
may counteract the country vote,
which, according to early returns, IL
practically tie in the upstate.
Outside of Multnomah county scat
tering returns from the cities in n
counties give prohibition yes 491, no
1872. Addition of Multnomah figures,
however, change the complexion Of
the returns to the following: Yes 2154,
no 1922.
On three other important measures,
the universal eight-hour law, the abol-
ishment of the state senate and the
$500 tax exemption the state seems
to have registered an emphatic no
vote. Both Multnomah county and the
state outside have gone strongly
against them.

immigration After the War.

A letter from a young German, who
after years of American life was
caught by the war trap in Berlin, Of
fers the suggestion that companies
be formed to secure large tracts of
land in the West for the thousands
of Belgians who will want to remove
to this country after the war is over
and their country has been incorpor'
ated with Germany.
The struggle for life in Europe is
a bard one. 1t is only maintained
with any degree Of comfort and sue
c.ss by careful ordering of society
il. a fashion which would be intol-
cradle here, but is merely organiza-
ton for self-protection there. The
son succeeds to the fathers business,
seldom aspiring higher. The clerk is
clerk all his life. The possession
of a job is almost vested interest,
it's loss a calamity, for there are no
others. Marriage, for men, as an aid
to business is the universal rule. All
life seems to hang upon well-order-
ed system which has endured for gen.
erations.
Now comes the debacle, as the
French would call 1.-THE smashup.
Society is reduced to chaos. Fortunes
are wiped out. Dowries will be no
more for,hc0r7ing. Positions which
have descended from father to son
are abolished When peace sends the
wrecks of the armies home no man
will know what is to be his further
part in life.
In such situation thousands will
look for a future to this new world,
which is no longer new. 1t will be
the part of wisdom for us to be pre-
pared for them-not Belgians alone,
but Germans as well, and others from
all countries of battle-torn Europe
New York American.
