NORTH FOR HAINES
Leading all Candidates and will win
Hands Down

Governor Haines seems to lead
all other candidates for the nomina-
ton on the Republican ticket" is the
declaration of the Daily Occur d'Alene
Press, published at the metropolis Of
the north and rejecting the political
sentiment of that portion of the state.
The declaration of fact made by the
Occur d'Alene press is just what
should be expected. From the view
point of his administration record
Governor Haines should be expected
to come up strong for renomina-
ton and a reelection. The closest
scrutiny and most discriminative
analysis of his official acts fell to in
dictate anything but the most con-
scientious discharge Of official duty.
consequently his opposition is with
out real basis and narrows down to
an antagonism caused by personal
disappointment in securing appoint
ments on the part of few men. This
is characteristic of all administra-

SWEET SAGE LANDS

At brief meeting of the state land
board on Wednesday resolution
was adopted intended to permit the
Blaine County Irrigation company to
change its contract with the state in
such a way as to permit the storage
of 10000 acre feet of water in Dry
Creek reservoir instead of Stevens
reservoir. Also to limit the amount
of water to two acre feet during the
season.
The resolution provides that this
permission to change is granted by
the board with the distict un lerstand-
ing that it is acceptable to the settlers
and that it is requested by them.
Still another privilege to be grant
err the company is that it may, within
10 years, make additional appropria-
lions and enlarge and extend its sys-
tenn to enable it to irrigate and re-
claim other lands not now included in
the project.
The statement is made by those in
charge of the project that there is
now approximately 1900 acres und-
er the system and subject to irriga-
ton. 1t is desired to add 1000 ad-
ditional acres to the project. States

Enters Race for Senator

Chief Justice Ailshie will retire
from the supreme court bench OF the

Haines, governor, executive office,
Boise, Idaho.
Dear Governor: Herewith I hand
you my resignation as justice of
the supreme court, to take effect and
become operative on the goth day of
July, 1914.
Last February when / announced
my intention of resigning from the
bench before the primaries, I could
not, of course forsee the desperate ILL
ness of Mr.. Justice Stewart. l had
hoped to close up my official duties
so as to enable me to retire from the
bench much earlier than this and
enter actively into the race for the
United States senate. However, JUS
tice Stewart was stricken at a time
when the court had under advisement
a large and unusual amout of bust
ness, and it at once became my duty
to dispose, not only of my share of
those cases but to assist Mr.. Justice
Sullivan in writing and disposing of
our associates share of that work.
It is well konwn to his intimate
friends that Justice Stewards great
desire for usefulness has been his
inspiration for long and heroic bat
tie for health. Under such circum-
stances and conditions, my first duty
was to the state and litigants whose
cases had been argued and submitted
In discharging that duty, l have been

IDAHO POTATOES IN
GREAT DEMAND

That the central and southern
states will buy all the potatoes that
Idaho can raise and that the tubers
from the Gem state are now con-
sidered ahead of those raised in any
other commonwealth and will there
for bring a high price, is the opinion
of ]. C. Sewell, manager of the Idaho
Farm Products company, who has
handled produce in the eastern mar
kets for 20 years and for the past
three years has been shipping pro-
duce out of this state.
Mr.. Sewell, who has been keeping
close track on the market situation,
declares that while in the past Min
nesota and Wisconsin have been fur
nishing a bulk of the spuds in the
southern and central market points,
their land does not produce as good
and as great quantity of tubers
as few years ago and that those
sections would like to depend entire
ly upon Idaho providing they could
be guaranteed certain amount every
year. He believes that those markets
would take all the tubers this sec
ton could raise.
AS an instance of the standing of
Idaho potatoes, Mr.. Sewell cites
case last fall where he shipped a
car of potatoes to Little Rock, Ark,
writing the firm that the car was
an extra choice one and that he would
not inclose bill, but would sell at
the market value of such potatoes
there. His return, he stated, was IS
cents per hundred higher than he
had anticipated or intended to charge.
He states the inquiry is strong from
sections to which he shipped last
year, asking about the outlook for
potatoes this fall and he believes the
crop will be purchased readily and
now that the demand has been created
that it is up to farmers of Idaho
to seize the potatoe market and raise
them in sufficient quantities to supply
that entire section.
Onions are another profitable crop
which Idaho farmers could. raise
easily and market with but little cost
at a good price, states Mr.. sewell.
Last fall he purchased three-quarters
Of an acre of onions grown by a
Chinaman at the end of Fifth street
and paid him 1857 for the lot and
furnished the sacks. He shipped the
onions east, he stated, and sold them
at a good figure and has since had
several inquiries for more. --Capita'

AN ITINERANT EDITOR

E. A. Strong, of st. Anthony, was
in town Friday morning on his way
down to American Falls with wagon
load of printing machinery to start
a new Democratic newspaper. Mr.
Strong has been publishing the paper
for the Society Of Equity, but it sus-
pended some time ago.
Mr.. Strong reported that he had
been to Portland and bought some
machinery that was on the way to
the Power City.
Reports have it that r. H. Stephen
son of Gooding, is also starting a
newspaper at American Falls, maxi
ing two in addition to The American
Falls Press, which has just recently
gotten to where it appeared to be
paying its way after long struggle.

people as a whole are little concern

securing an honest, able, efficient and
economical government. Governor
Haines has made good. He has not

qualities of his administration are
becoming well understood throughout
the state and he will win his renomi-

PENIBLE TO SPENCER

J. D. Pemble, of Springfield start
ed to Spencer last week with some
stock to do some grading, but was
stopped by the officers who were
sent to bring him back on a charge
of removing mortgaged horses from
the county. It seems that Mr.
Pemble had left all the mortgaged
horses at Springfield, and was en-
tirely within his rights, but he had
to come back to Blackfoot to con-
vince them, and also stand tho dis
grace of being accused and forced
into court on such a charge.

SOME IDEAS REGARDING
IRRIGATION IN IDAHO

"A combination of untoWard cir
cumstances has cast a temporary
blight over Idaho irrigation securities
and with only a superficial analysis of
the situation it has been represented
in some quarters that irrigation in
this state has been failure, or at
least has been only partially success
full. Such information does very
grave injustice to the state, and in
fers a condition which is entirely
foundationless. Nothing is further
from the truth than a statement that
irrigation in Idaho has been unsuc-
cessful. The cases of success of Idaho
in irrigation-and they are numerous
seem to be taken for granted,
while her few failures are heralded
broadcast.
THE state has reclaimed under the
Carey act I'll, 1921 acres of the 1885,
533 acres approved by the secretary.
Vast expenditures have been made
by Carey companies under their con-
tracts with the state to reclaim the
land included in the approved lists
representing, as has been stated,
1,158,533; these 240,583, and the
estimate cost of the projects repre-
scented in lists pending before the
secretary for his approval is $46,-
644,53S. 1t will thus be seen at a
glance that the state of Idaho has
been very active in the development
of Carey act projects.
1.-The state of Idaho has never ex-
perienced difficulties in finding set
tiers. The climate advantages, splen-
did soil, and a feeling of discomfort
elsewhere when one has breathed her
mountain air has populated Idaho
in fact, most of such projects-have
been and are unquestioned successes
from the standpoint of the settler
at least. 1t is to be doubted if the
promoters or financiers of any pro-
ject in the state of Idaho have made
any considerable amount on their
investment, and in almost every in
stance where water has been finally
delivered, the settler has received
the same at a price less than the
cost of the delivery thereof.
At this present moment irrigation
securities of the state of Idaho are
under ban, but it is only temper
airy; and are just as sure as light
just as sure as sun and soil and
water will produce bounteous crops
just so sure will this dark period
for such securities pass away and be
succeeded by the sunshine of conf
dence; because these securities are
bottomed upon true and faithful
values.
1--WE might, logically, at this time
discuss briefly some of the reasons
that have contributed to the failure
of the few projects that have failed
and worked terriable hardships upor
innocent settlers and investors
Among the first troubles incurred -
and in my opinion, the most serious
were engineering difficulties ant
mistakes. Successors will benefit b!
these errors.
"At the danger Of mourning thu
criticism of being presumptuous, j
would seem that the federal govern
ment might investigate such Care
act projects as are in need OF help
the idea being first to ascertain wha
water right the settler thereon cal
afford to pay, consistent with de

FavOrs North Idaho

Governor Haines took no action on
Monday in the matter of accepting
the resignation; and, of course, he
gave out no intimation as to who
would be- considered as the successor
of the chief justice. But while the
governor is silent on the subject the
impression is general that a north
Idaho man will be chosen to fill the
vacancy. The name of Judge Robert
N. Dunn is often heard in connection
with the appointment. Charles L.
Hoffman is understood to be the
choice of Statesman.
