WHEAT ACREAGE INCREASED
Farmers Putting in Every Acre Pos
sible Anticipating High
Prices Next Year.

Next years grain crop promises TO
be a record breaker in this county.
All that is needed to make it such is
a fair season Farmers are counting
upon high prices again next year, and
every acre possible to get ready will
be put in Grain buyers estimate a
very large increase in the acreage to
be seeded. both to fall and spring
grain.
The ground could not be in better
condition than at present The re-
cent rains have put it in fine shape.
Probably never since wheat growing
became general here, has conditions
for seeding been so good Farmers
have practically ceased hauling grain
in order TO put in a crop. Prospects
for prosperous conditions next year
are better than they have ever been
% the past. With an increased acre
age and good prices assured, farmers
and business men alike should look
to the future with confidence.

How We Do Grow!

There are 123412 acres of agricultural land on
tne tax rolls of Power county, an increase of 34,-
334 acres over last year. This is almost township
and half. Indications are that the increase next
year Will be almost as good This indicates how
rapidly this county has settled and developed The
increase will keep up for several years. This added
acreage when it begins to bear its proportion of the
expense of government, will result in material re-
ducton IN the tax rate, and will make Power coun-
ty one of the most favored in this respect in the
state. Our tax rate is lighter now than three
tourths of the counties, Notwithstanding we are new
and had to assume the incidental expenses of organi
zation and to pay for the transcrbing of records
Our cultivated area has increased ten fold within
the past seven years Probably not more than two
thirds of our homestead lands have passed to patent
and probably not than half of our cultivatabe
acreage has yet been put to crop. Looking back
wards we form some idea of what this county
will develop into within the next ten years Fortuate
who live here.

PREPARING FOR LAND SALE.
State Land Appraiser |. II. Nash, Here
Making Appraisements.

l. II. Nash arrived Sunday to make
appraisement of the state lands for
which applications to purchase have
been made. He expects to be here all
week as there are a large number of
tracts to view.
More difficulty is encountered here
than anywhere else in the state. MIR.
Nash says, owing TO the rapid devel-
opment that has taken place. Leasers
are plowing. seeding and improving
all the time. Some nice distinctions
are required. inasmuch as purchasers
of state lands are required to pay for
the improvements. Leasers are en-
titled to harvest growing crops. If
sales are held in the spring this is an
easy matter to determine. Mr. Nash
would like to know, however, and he
has put the matter up TO the state
land department for settlement,
whether land that is seeded now to fall
grain, or will be seeded before the
sale is held. may be considered TO have
growing crop. The matter is vital
to both the lessor and the purchaser.
The former is entitled to compensa-
ton for seed and time and labor ex-
pended in seeding, and the latter will
possibly not want to wait year be-
fore getting possession of land he
purchases. The terms OF settlement
should be just to both, and Mr.. Nash
is seeking a determination Of this mat
ter before the sale is held, 10 avoid

POWER COUNTY FAIR"
Musical Comedy Successfully Staged
BY h. of 2. Lodge.

One OF the best things ever put over
by home talent in American Falls
was the presentation OF THE Power
County Fair" at the Auditorium Thurs
day and Friday evenings OF last v eek
under the able direction OF Miss Glare
Andrews, who was engaged by the
local Knights OF Pythias lodge for the
purpose.
Every detail OF the performance
worked out to perfection, and every
humber made a decided hit. The at
traction was beautifully staged and
cosumed; fully as good as the aver
age travelling companies that come
this way. OF those who took part II
can be said that all were good, so all
that need be done by way of making
mention OF the players is to give the
cast of characters and musical num-
bers. and to add that there were about
$50 people in the choruses

ENGLISH LOSSES HEAVY
Seven Hundred and Ninetv.Seven
Officers In British Casualty
List.

London Sept. 21.-Graphic descrip-
tions from correspondents lowering
in the wake of the armies in France
declare that the past weeks battles
exceeded in violence anything in his
tory since the struggle at Port Ar
thur There are stories of charges
unequaled in the annals of British
arms since Balaklaya and the casual
ty lists which filter through slowly
day by day confirm the reports, which
otherwise might be taken as an exag-
geration.
The part that British officers are
playing is illustrated by the bare
testimony of the casualty lists. Seven
hundred and ninety-seven officers are
among the killed, wounded and mis-
ing, which is a percentage out Of all
proportion TO the losses in the ranks.
One hundred and thirty officers have
been killed; 3S3 have been wounded.
and 279 are missing. Many of the mis-
sing probably must later be recorded
as killed or wounded.
The Coldstream Guards regiments
hold the place OF honor with thirty
one casualties among it's officers
corps The Kings Royal Rifles and the
Suffolk regiment have each had twen-
ty-five officers killed or wounded; the
Gorden Highlanders %; the Munster
Fusiliers, 21 Cameron Highlanders
and Cheshire regiments each 49,
The field artillery has lost fifty-six
and the medical corps tifty-two Of

The people of Power county are to
be congratulated. Her first set of Of
ficers have made good. Notwithstand-
ing this is a new county and had to
purchase fixtures and supplies to be-
gin business with, and pay for trans
cribing records from the four coun-
ties from which it was created, the
tax levy is lower than in three-fourths
of the counties of the state This
speaks well of the watchful economy
that has been used.
The levy for county purposes this
year is S5 cents on each S100 of valua-
tions as against so cents last year The
valuation of the county is 100000
This increase of cents per 500 will
raise $3,450-just $40 more than the
estimated cost of the five elections.
The cost of the four elections already
held, the local option, bond district
highway and primary elections, is
known. The cost of the general cleo
tion has been estimated and will be
about the same as for the primary.
Our state tax levy is ten cents high
er this year, but this is no fault of
our county officers. We got off lit
tie easy last year. but are this year
called on by the state to come through
Last year our state taxes were So, ,,51l.
This year they are $13,S94, an increase
- lresfr Ar.1 an
increased levy for state purposes.
State taxes are based upon valu-
ations of the past year. Last year
state tax was fixed upon valuations of
the property now within the county
when it was a part of the four coun-
ties of which We were a part This
years state tax is based upon our 1913
valuations which increased largely
over the valuations of 1912. Next year
we will get off easier on state taxes
because they will be based upon our
1914 valuations. This year our state
taxes we're increased 81 per cent. Next
year the increase will be only S per
cent.
This year We have "a, 3S4 acres more
more Of agricultural land on the tax
rolls than last year, and next year
there will be approximately the same
increase. This increased valuation,
with ordinary expenses, practically
the same, and no election expenses,
will result in a lower tax rate. Fol
lowing is the acreage and classifica-
ton of lands for 1913 and 1914:
