There seems to be an idea that
the bondholders are bound to put up
all the money required to complete
this project and make concessions to
the settlers more than they have ole
fered.
Certain parties are of the opinion
that by keeping up the fight and agi-
tation they can wear us out and that
In desperation we will let certain
parties dictate what shall be done
Now l want every contract holder
to know that such course will not
gain you anything but trouble. We
have made the best offer that you
can get. If you prefer to stand on
your old contract. well and good We,
of course, will be satisfied.
We came out here to help build up
the project. If we are not wanted
we will gladly get out. We have not
come to fight. Those of you who
want an extension can have it and we
will be glad to have the others pay
up. r. K. SHEPHERD.

INCREASES PRICE OF WATER.
Idaho Irrigation Co. Raises Price of
Water to $50 per Acre.

The state land board today voted
to permit a raise In water right
charges on the unsold and unentered
land included within the Idaho Irri-
CATION company's project. exclusive
of state and school lands, to $50 per
acre. The former price of the land
was $50 per acre. The raise author
lied is, therefore. $40 per acre. The
company's application was presented
by Norman M. Ruick, its attorney. 1t
Is understood that the company has
plans under way for the extensive
colonization of the lands now unsold
within the project and that within
short time there would be an influx
Of settlers of means.
Members of the board had no OBJ
| jections, they stated, in granting the
raise in the water right prices when
the raise applied only to the unsold
and unentered lands. Those settlers
on the project who purchased theil
water rights from the company at
lower figure stand to gain through
the raise in the water right prices
for the unsold lands. They are no
otherwise Affected through thu
boards action.
1t is understood that the plans pro
posed for the colonization of parts o
the tract in the very near future will
lcall for interest payments only on tn

water contracts for a period of five
years, giving the settlers sufficient
time in which to get their land un-
der cultivation and bring their farms
up to a producing basis. After the
fve-year period, the initial payment
on the contract is to be $40, sum
much larger than other initial pay
ments required on water contracts.
This is due to the fact the five-year
interest clause is to be included In
stead OF starting the payments on
on the purchase of the water con-
tracts.-Capital News.

Live stock Insurance.

A New York insurance company
has taken up the matter OF insuring
live stock en- route to market. Omces
have been established at all the prin-
cipal markets, and the shipper agrees
with his commission firm to pay so
much per car for the insurance OF all
sbipments made by him during the
wear. Beef cattle are insured at hfty
cents per car and sheep at seventy
Ave cents per double deck. In the
event of loss. the company agrees 10

The first count in the Merchants
Popular Voting Contest as being con-
Quoted by the Times. occurred last
Friday evening, under the supervi-
sion of w. A. Heiss and VIM Wag-
ner, the committee from this place
and Mr.. B. F. Oster, the representa-
tive of the Publishers Music Co., of
Chicago, who are supervising the
contest
AS will be seen from the result as
above given. much interest has been
by the contestants, and three of them
are in a neck and neck race. There
is plenty of time, however, for others
in the contest to outstrip the leaders
at the present time, and this can be
done with little effor on their part.
Those who are putting on this con-
test are going to give the late start
ers something special to work for.
The next count will be made Thurs
day, Aug. 6. and ct that time the one
making the greatest gain between
the first and second count will be Civ
en- $40 in gold. and the one making
the next highest gain will be given
SIS in gold. Remember. now, that
this prize is not necessarily to go to
the one that is in the lead at the
time of the second count, though, of
course, if she makes the greatest
gain in votes between the two counts
she will get the $40 The contest
ants can readily see that those en-
tering the contest NOW have the
same opportunity to win the $40 as
The victory in this contest will be
to those who work the hardest No
partiality will be shown whatever
The winners will win on merit alone.

Urges Feeding Of Stock by Irrigation
Farmers


Farmers should bear in mind that
stock feeding on the farm has two
highly important advantages over
straight cropping OF the soil. yisablv
IL furnishes ready market for the
crop produced on the farm and II
furnishes means OF building up and
maintaining the fertility OF the soil.
says l. ID. O'Donnell, government su-
pervisor OF irrigation. in the Recla-
nation Record for June.
recently read a report of an i'm
portant meeting of banking men and
one OF the speakers, | think a banker
from Minnesota. stated that I'm his
community the only farmer who can
get loan OF money at the bank is
the farmer who habitually has COW
manure on his boots" There is more
TO that than catchy phrase. 1t rep
resents realization by the bankers
and business men that the farmer
who. does not keep stock OF some
kind Is a poor financial risk, and the
farmer who feeds his field crops to
live stock is good financial risk The
farmer who sells his field crops from
the field or bin and then purchases
commercial fertilizer TO tune up"
his soil is rapidly putting his balance
on the wrong side OF the ledger. The
farmer. who markets his crops
through live stock or live stock pro-
ducts and then cares for and places
the manure on his land is the farmer
who is getting ahead.
No matter how small the farm
some kind OF stock should be fed. If
the land is too high priced to profit
ably breed and raise stock In every
community. cattle. sheep. hogs OF
even chickens or turkeys can be
bought as feeders at market price.
and good profit made my putting

In Germany farmers will purchase
and feed steers at what would appear
to be $40 or $40 loss per head. bu
these farmers claim that they MAKE
profits OF from SIS to $50 per heat
