NEW CREAMERY
Swiss Dairyman to Establish a
Plant at ShoshOne

A. A. Sahli, from Aberdeen, Wash
ing, is preparing to come to Shoshone,
next spring, to establish a creamery
that will require from 1900 to 1000 gal
Ions of cream day, or the proquct of
from 1000 to 5000 cows. He is Swiss
farmer and dairyman, and for some
years past has been manager of the
Meadowbrook creamery in Washington,
one of the biggest in the West. He
will aim to draw his cream supply from
all through this section of the country.
Several of these prosperous Swiss
farmers have come over from at or
near Aberdeen, and bought lands here.
Anton Arnold bought the Chalmers l20
near Marley, and is to bring his 120
fine dairy cows here in the spring. A
Mr. Gillis has bought 200 acres on the
north side of this tract, west of the
Taper farm. A Mr.. Somers bought
80 acres north of Shoshone; and the
total sales have been above 500 acres.
All these men are dairymen, and will
make dairying their business here.

w. t. DOUGHERTY
Richfield Man Would Make An
Efficient Secretary of State

W. T. Dougherty, of Richfield, is re-
ceiving encouragement every day, in
his candidacy for secretary of state.
Especially will ne have the support of
those who consider a close acquaintance
with Carey Act conditions, and with
road matters, as an argument for him.
As secretary of the Richfield Highway
District probably the most successful
organization Of the kind in the state,
with the record of the most good roads
built for the least money of any district
in Idaho --he has studied the road stu
alton to such good advantage that he
would hold commanding position as
secretary of state and so member of
the commission. Mr.. Dougherty has
made very little campaign, but he has
host of good friends who are boosting
for him, and he believes that stranger
things have happened than that he
should get through. If he should, it
would probably be with smaller ex-
pense account than any state officer
who ever served the state!

POLITICIANS
State and County Officials Visit
RichfieId and See Country

A large party of politicians, business
men and interested visitors came up to
Richfeld, Thursday afternoon, for
brief visit Governor Haines, Attorney
General Peterson, Frank Millsaps, Clar-
ence Wheeler. L. M. Zug, G. B. Keefer,
Fred Gwin; Jere Martin, W. A. Heiss,
and Ralph Moore of Jerome, ]. w.
Wheeler, Paul Haddock, J. w. Lundin,
John See, and Harry Anderson, were of
the party. As no evening meeting could
be arranged for, they merely made a
friendly visit for the afternoon, meeting
all the people who could be found in
town, either on the streets or at the
Commercial Club rooms where a nom
inal reception was held Manager Kays
took the Governor and Attorney Gener-
al out over the tract, for "a mile ride
out around the Loop" almost to Bur-
nah and back, and they united in stat
ing that this is the finest stretch of
new road-if not the finest road of any
age--in the whole state. Mr.. Peterson
was here when the town of Alberta was
opened, more than seven years ago, and
he tramped all over the tract picking
out desirable locations---but he says
that he believes his number never came
out of the lottery box, so he did not
have first choice for land location.
The party went back to Shoshone for
supper, and a big meeting was to be
held there Thursday night. Attorney
General Peterson is the speaking mem
ber of the party, and he is making
sledge hammer speech wherever he
goes.

NEW AUTOMOBILES
State Agents for Overland and
Haynes Autos Visit Richfield

The Recorder editor had the pleasure
of ride up from Shoshone, Wednesday
afternoon, with DR.. Snodgrass of Bur
ley and Twin Falls, in his brand new
Haynes auto. The first automobile in
America, if not in the world, was built
by Elwood Haynes, in Indiana, almost
quarter of century ago; and they
been building top-notch machines ever
since. The new car is six cylinder,
with electric starting and lighting ap-
pliances, and if ever there was a real
jewel of car that is not too high-priced
for other than plutocrat or a monop-
oist to own, it is this same Haynes
Light Six" 1t is really light six,
for it weighs less than 8, 900 pounds;
and the finish. elegance, and unquestion
ed excellent construction puts it clear
in the lead for cars of its class Dr.
Snodgrass and his associate, Mr. Gates
of Twin Falls. have the state distribut-
ing agency for this great machine. They
They also have the Overland for seven
counties, and Mr.. Gates brought new
1915 Overland 35, which is jewel for
cheaper, four-cylinder car. 1t is fully
electrically equipped. and is built with
a gear that makes it as good a hill climb
er as any other car on the market.
Their car, the first sample of the new
1915 model, recently pulled up the Sho-
shone Falls grade, with ten people
aboard, weighing 1900 pounds; and the
agents make the offer to buyers that if
their car doesn't do the same wonder
full feat, they give the car without
cent of cost to the purchaser. That's
some offer!
Messrs. Snodgrass and Gates are en-
thusiastic motorists, and they would
make any one buy one OF these magnif-
cent new machines, if he had the money
to buy. DR.. Snodgrass is
one Of the biggest good-roads boosters
n the whole West, and has much to do
with the good roads legislation in Idaho.
he laid out the automobile log book of
IDAHO last year, expending more than
IS, 900 in this work. He was in Rich
ield year ago last summer, and the
Recorder editor took little spin out |
forth of town with him in Hupp ma
:hine, when they made as miles an hour
'ver newly-built roads.

Only Two Weeks Till Election
ALFALFA.

Most of the farmers of the Richfeld
tract have been putting up their third
cutting of alfalfa the past week. 1t is
an unusually heavy last cutting. The
first cutting was generally light. owing
to the June frost; but the second was
especially heavy and fine. The aver
age total yield per acre is close to five
tons; some well-cared- for fields will
probably yield six tons tosthe acre. No
one questions that alfalfa will pay fine
profits here, if one has stock to feed it
to. There will be much more stock on
the Richfield tract this winter than
ever before-hogs, cows, horses, and
not few sheep. 1t is certain that any
one will pay.

A CAPABLE JUDGE
Jurors Have Only Good Words
for Judge StocksIager.

The Recorder editor, in common with
every other juror who sat in court un-
der Judge Stockslager, can bear testi-
mony that he is conspicuously success
full jurist, one Of the kind not usually
found on the bench. Few objections
are intersosed in his court, against the
admission of evidence, unless it is of
such nature as to clearly and unmis-
takably within the right of the protest
ant to make such an objection on good
grounds. The Judge has one stock ar
gument which seems most admirable in
It's simplicity and justice, in sentiment
if not in exact words about as follows:
"The witness may answer the question;
what we are seeking for is the Facts in
this Case. No argument could be
more rational, more just; and Judge
Stockslager has been notably success
full as a trial jurist for this reason.
Few supreme courts will ever overturn
verdict when such an attitude of get
ting the real facts is pursued.
The Recorder has for a whole year,
advocated sending j. NJ Wise of Twin
Falls as one of the district judges, and
could not or would not wish to ever 90
back on his candidacy. But since there
are two places to fill, there is room for
all to be satisfied

KEENEYS

Three stro1ling Players in song
and music, keep Keeney audiences
enthralled during their twenty min
ute performances during the latter
part of this week. They rebresent
italian street performers. One whose
voice partakes OF the virility of the
baritone, together with the sweetness
of tenor, moves the hearers as few
singers ever heard at that popular
vaudeville theatre have been able to
do. The one who plays the violin
gave a varied program yesterday
ranging from ragtime to the most
classical selections. His rendition of
Beethoven's "Kreutzer Sonata" won
him q veritable ovation.
The third "Stroller" is seen at the
piano in the orchestra pit.
Another good musical act is that of
Jack Newman, a popular singer of
up-to-date songs. Swan and Bam-
bard, acrobats, perform astonishing
feats in an eccentric manner. A
combination singing and talking act
is offered by Hammond and For

Edwin Forsberg, proprietor of the
Forsberg players at the Orpheum, in
talking to an Evening Star man the
other day, said that the only way to
combat the inroads that the picture

more than the picture houses gave
them for the same money. With this
idea in mind, Mr.. Forsberg resolved
that, while his company would be the

plays the latest Broadway successes,
