NEW PROBATE JUDGE
Walter Copp Appointed to Take
Judge Jones' Place.

County Commissioner Taper return
ed from Shoshone, Thursday morning,
from meeting of the county board.
The resignation of Probate Judge H. B.
Jones was received and accepted, and
Walter H. Copp Of Coppdale, south of
Jerome, was chosen to fill the vacancy.
He is Bostonian, who came here five
years ago with several thousand dollars,
which he has spent on his place and is
now waiting for some of it to come
back in the form of profits.
The board received some very fatter-
ing bids for an issue of refunding bonds
"a premium above the per cent in
terest. Last year, either because of a
conspiracy among the bond buyers or a
general distrust of the Lincoln county
finances, the bids were so low that the
board made tight squeeze and paid off
$13, 500 in matured bonds instead of re-
funding new issue. That, and the
general business management of the
county affairs, has made the bond buy
ers sit up and take notice; and this
year they offer far better inducements
to get chance at the bonds.

some holocaust of nature that
would make the whole country
uninhabitable-that would destroy
the people and the possibility of
people living here-it is SO much a
part of the indestructable canyon
walls where it is built.
The above cut shows view on
one of the main canals of the Idaho
Irrigation company, above Rich
field. There is all abundance of
water in the reservoir to supply
the needs Of every acre of land un-
der the project-more than 100000
acres-if every acre were now in
cultivation. Not nearly all the land
is as yet being titled; SO the pres
ent supply is far in excess Of any
possible use. Enough water is

FOR THE INVESTOR.
A Hint for the Man With Money
Who'd Like to Invest.

The suggestion is made that some
Eastern investors who read this article,
might want to know of the opportuni-
ties for investments in stock in Idaho.
The dairy business is one of the sur
est of all investments; and hogs would
be perhaps even more certain, especi-
ally in this section where cholera or
swine plague has never been known.
Now if some one, of considerable
means, or syndicate of little investors,
wanted to loan out some money for the
puachase of dairy cows, or of good
breeding hogs, such money could be
placed here to very good advantage,
with certain profit to both the investor
and the local borrower. This country
is short of ready cash to make the pro
per start on the lines of business that
pay best. 1t would be best, of course,
for these Eartern investors to come out
here, get some land of their own, and
after stocking their own places, loan
their surplus if they had one, to the
neighbors who haven't enough capital
to go on. But the Richfeld CONNER
cial League, made up of the farmers,
business men, laborers and everybody
on the tract, would probably undertake
to make gilt-edged security plan for
any investor who wanted to consider
sending money here for investment.

business of irrigation.
Of all the well-watered projects
in the state, none has better rep
utation among irrigators and engl-
neers than the Idaho Irrigation
company, which supplies the lands
around Richfield, Shoshone, Diet
rich and Gooding. The water comes
from the. great Camas Prairie,
which is the flat basin of the Malad
river or Camas creek and its tribu-
taries; and from the Big Wood
river, which drains the Sawtooth
National forest in the Sawtooth
The drainage basin
covers close to /, 900 square miles
of the national forest, covering the
highest mountain range in Idaho !;
and miles and miles and miles of
the lower land and foothills, where
the snow falls deep and heavy dur

"a prize velvet carpet 1t is really
one of the most wonderful green
fields any one ever saw--though
there are others here, where as
good farming is done, that will
show exactly the same.
This isn't primarily wheat
growing country--though wheat
can be grown up to IS bushels to
the acre, barley up to 100 bushels,
and oats the same. Wheat is
good feed for stock, and this is all
of the grains will pay as partial
crop for the average farm. To
the man who wants to raise some
wheat like he never dreamed of
in the East, this is a mighty good
country.
But in saying that this isn't es-
pecially wheat country, it should
be said that this is so only be-
cause there is something better.
Alfalfa is better for main crop.
You can raise alfalfa all the way
from four to seven tons to the
acre, according to the skill and
care you give your land and water.
Alfalfa can be fed as hay, or pas
tured as a green feed, and stock
can be developed for SO much less
cost than if most of the growth is
made by feeding grain, that the
grain-raiser is at discount even
in a land where such records can be
made as are possible here.
You can get a good ton to the
acre, of alfalfa put in in good
shape not later than June And
the next year, if it has been well
put in and irrigated, you should
get three to five tons and the next
year, one to two tons more. And
you can pasture the land in be
tween; it makes cheaper pork than
else that grows.
Or, you could put in red Glove;
though that has been rai;ed not
nearly so much as alfalfa. But
it pays. Four years ago, the Idaho
Irrigation company put out some
clover on the demonstration farm
Richfield. They cut
about ton to the acre that first
season, and the next year, it
yielded close to eight tons to the
acre. Try to match that if you can!
Think back over all your little clo-
YER fields, over anything you have
ever seen or heard of, and see if
you can match it!
A little grain is a fine thing to
help finish off bunch of hogs or
steers. SO it is worth while to
have few acres of grain wheat,
or oats, or barley--as finishing
fed. But you don't have to have
very big acreage--for with care you
can make few acres raise Al,
quantity Of food. Alfal-
ia is usually put in on new ground,
as the easiest, quickest method 81

"RICHFIELD DAY"
Prepare Some Better Prize EX-
hibits for This Year.

1t is suggested that now is good
time to begin to plan seriously for that
big exhibit at the Richfeld Day fair
You can't grow prize crop on a
weeks notice--and they don't come by
chance, either.
The annual Richfeld Day has come
to be known all through this part of
Idaho, as a permenent fixture, and a
show that brings out stuff that would
win prizes---that DOES win prizes-in
even the state fairs.
1t would be worth while to take a
little time to raise some extra" stuff
for this years fair; to thin out and hoe
a few carrots, or parsnips, or beets,
and give them extra attention; to cut
back the vines and pinch off the super
fuous blossoms and small fruits of a
few of the best pumpkin vines; to give
the prize colt a little "gentleing' so
that it will have show manners on the
day of the fair; to scrub the little pigs
with brush, so they'll shine with health
and cleanliness; and all these things
that make a better exhibit. All this
makes better farming; the man who
tries to excel in one thing, even little
thing it may be, has better start for
success in every branch of farming.
Get ready for the fair, about three
months beforehand and then you're
ready in dead earnest.

Plenty of Water Makes Irrigation Succeed

Irrigation would be of little
value if there were not a perma-
nent, unfailing supply of water for
irrigation.
OF course, it would help some, to
have water even occasionally, for
arid land. 1t is mathematical
certainty that you could raise
crops and do it oftener on arid land
that had even limited water sup
ply, than if it had nothing at all to
add to the normal precipitation.
SO of course, even a short water
supply would be of some value.
But wouldn't it be dishearten-
ing to raise a good crop one year,
under exceptional water condi-
tons, and then find the prices
away down; and then, when you
tried it next year, under the
almost never-failing cycle of
high price following on the heels
of low one, your irrigation water
would fail--DRY is the RIGHT
word in such a case--with your crop
burned up because Of the shortage ?
That wouldn't make man lose
faith in irrigation, for he'd always
know that with plenty of water
his crops would be assured what
ever the weather. But it would
sure discount the value of vari-
able, capricious water supply, that
wouldn't work when you wanted
it the most!
Idaho is known all through the
West, as the state with the big
gest and best distributed water
supply of all the mountain states.
It would look like a geographical
dictionary, to tell of all the fine
streams and lakes and artesian
we'll basins and other irrigation
water supplies of Idaho. It would
hardly be slangy to say that Idaho
has "water to burn for SO much |
Of the surplus water is being used
to develop electricity for lighting,
heating, cooking and power pur-
poses-and it's here for the greater

Pass the Good Word On to Help
3'The Other Fellow.

A number Of wholesale inquiries have come from the
sending of the last two weeks of special issues of
the Recorder.
People want to know about country of which as
much can ruthully be said the Recorder is saying
about Richied and this part of Idaho.
It's fine, human-interest story, the development
and the opportunities Of this section. The Recorder

well for what it will bring. But few hundred good
working neighbors would make it pay BETTER for well
for them and it would be better country to live in,
if every farm occupied, evrey titled and pay
ing profit.
Whoever gets the Recorder during this publicity
campaign is urged to pass it to his neighbors.
There will be something in each ISSUE perhaps that
will appeal to one wanting change of location;
and it may be favor to give that start

Be A Good Citizen and Help Make
Better Political Platforms

The state platform conventions to be held
cording to law, at Boise on June 30th All the parties
meet at the hour the day and in the cap
ita city, to formulate their platforms.
1t is left to each party organization in the various
counties, to decide just how these platform delegates
to be chosen. 1t may be through general, voun-
teer primary provision for paying for this
at the nominating primaries in September-o or they
may be chosen by some form of agreement in each polt
ica party organization Each county entitled to three
times many delegates there representatives in
the state legislature from that county Lincoln county
has only therefore, each party
will have three delegates to its state platform
ton.
The coming campaign promises to be vitaly i'm
portan to the state that is citizen duty to look
after the makeup of the platform delegation that will
outline the campaign issues. Better service in the way
of getting value received for taxes, and way of
tightening the tax burden already borne without Grip
ping public service will be the biggest consideration.
1t is quite probable that all the parties will have
plank pedging statewide prohibitions; party can
reasonably dare to omit it.

indeed, and were seen by a fine audi

in building the canal The terrible

shown in so many ways as to make an
easy explanation of the failure of the
French to make the project success.

Those who might be looking
for a new place to make a home
will be interested in what is OF
fered by the prospective new local
ity in the way of schools, churches
and other social and community
features.
The little community of Rich
field offers advantages that are abb
solutely unique anywhere in the
West-or East-when one con-
siders that it still is only a little
struggling village. There are only
about 800 people in the town and
less than a thousand on the Rich
field tract or anywhere near contig-
uous; there are no factories, mines,
or shops or anything with con-
siderable pay-roll-so whatever
there is, is rural and representa-
tive of any and every rural COM
munity in the country. There is
no industry except farming and
stock raising on the farms-not big
ranches, with thousands Of head of
horses, cattle or sheep scattered
over whole county, and all pay
Ing tribute to a town-it is all
straight farming, with no frills or
side lines
Richfield has nearly two miles of
cement walks; as fine a deep-well
system of waterworks as there is
in the state; electric lights, graded
streets, and good roads out Of town
in every direction.
The stores close regularly at Q
O'Clock in the evening; they have
done this for several years, with
out any union organization or ordi-
nance to force it on them. The store
men have chance to get and keep
acquainted with their families, and
to take part in the community life,
by not trying to keep their stores
open in the impossible and un-
profitable night hours.
The village voted bonds for
city hall, during the winter just
past, and the bonds are sold and
the money ready for construction
work A little delay in the choice of
plans, is the only thing that keeps
the building from completion.
Richfield boasts of new band,
with nearly 81 900 worth of the fin
est silver-plated, high-grade instru
ments there were on the market.
The community pays a part Of the
cost of the instruments and they
will become the property Of the
community so as to maintain a per-
manent organization. Of course,
where individuals own their own
horns, the community has no claim
on them. Rev. Leitch, pastor Of
the Methodist church, fine mu-
sician and superior band teacher,
is the band director.

ans club in the state, at least when
one considers that it is made up
