recent drcuths in some Of the middle

ers in that section would have gladly

this project who. when his crop is in
need of water. need only open his
headgate and supply this essential

value Of irrigation may have been
overdrawn in cases where the water
supply has not been all that was

An Inn Worth While

When the idea for the town Of
Gooding was conceived, Governor
Gooding being naturally of a progress
sive turn of mind realized that
good measure of the progress and
success of the enterprise would be
due to the first impressions gained
by the prospective settler These
impressions are largely influenced by
the Accommodations he finds upon his
arrival Thus the idea for a hotel Of
quality was started and carried to IL
successful completion upon the open
ing of the Lincoln Inn on February
4th, 1909.
The reed for such an institution
was demonstrated by the fact that
every loom in the house was taken
on the first day of its opening Four
days later the Glover Creek opening
was held at Gooding and the hotel
housed over a hundred persons per
day during this period
The business of the hotel increased
to such an extent that an annex of
30 rooms was added to the main
building within a year.
a large measure of the success and
popularity of the hotel was due to the
efforts Of Mr.. a. J. Schubert who was
acting as manager of the hotel dur
Ing this period. The excellent cuisine
and the general first class appoint
ments maintained by the Lincoln Inn
has justified the slogan. IAN Inn
Worth While" adopted at the open
ing, and has placed this hotel in a
class with the best institutions of
its kind in the larger cities.
Mr. -. r. shurtlen who was act
ing as chief clerk at the time of its
opening is now managing the Inn
ana again extending the glad hand
to the many friends and patrons of
his stili popular hosiery.

with diseases where ordinary pre-
cautions are taken. The hog industry
in this section has developed rapidly
during the past three years. Those
most succeful in the hog business
have found that wheat and barley
fed along with alfalfa is equal to corn
and produces fully as fine a quality
Of pork. Nowhere are conditions more
| favorable to the dairy industry or the
raising Of beef stock than here Dairy
products find a ready market at ex
cellent prices. Cattle fed on tame
pasture on on the open range during
the summer months and on alfalfa
hay during the winter need very lit
tie grain to put them in prime condi-
ton for market or to produce an ex-
cellent quality and quantity Of milk,
While they, of course, do better if
properly housed they require very
little shelter during the winter
months.
Climatic conditions here are I'M
usually favorable for all kinds Of live
stock. The summers are long and
while the winters are not severe snow
usually remains on the ground from
the middle of December to the first
Of March and conditions are very
favorable for winter feeding. one
need only point to the success which
the older residents have made in the
stock business to convince the most
skeptical as to the measure of pros
perity which is in store for those who
may follow it in the future. To those

The Frenchman was informed that

Greedy Managers Responsible.
In order to arrive at proper un-
derstanding of that defeat You must
know that Carpenter is only 20 years
of age and that he has been boxing
since he was H. His contest with
Papke took place in 1912, and those
who handled Carpenter at that time
agreed to make specified weight
three months ahead without stopping
to consider that Carpenter was only
Is years old and growing like weed
"The result was that when he went
into training for Papke he found him
self too. big to make the weight. But
his handlers wanted to save their for

chunks.
Those who saw Carpenter in the
ring with Papke will never forget the
spectacle. You could actually see thu

have been allowed to box. =

table.

Reference to the defeats of Bonn

The Frenchman threw back his head
and laughed uproariously. The idea Of
a French pugilist beating Englands
best heavyweight seemed to strike him
as decidedly funny.

Adenot does not believe there Is
