QUARTERLY
RECORD MADE BY
GEO. STOVEL

The business of the Office of the
Canyon county clerk, auditor and re-
corder, George w. Stovel, during the
past quarter, according to that Off
Gals quarterly report, showed a
marked increase over the receipts of
the corresponding period of last year.
Mr.. Stovers office RENTED to the
county treasurer, above all expenses,
the sum of $276l.95 at the close Of
the second quarter of the current
year, which represents a gain of $l24
in business over the corresponding
quarter of last year.
The total business of the Office for
the last quarter amounted to $307050
as compared to $2o56.52, the business
of the same period of last year.
During the past quarter "a cases,
recordbreaking figures, were filed in
the district court in Canyon county,
bringing the item of docket fees up
to $222; government naturalization
fees amounted to $l3, and in the in
cidental expenses of the Office for
the past three months totaled $73.55.
This quarterly report by Mr.. Stovel
is said to be one of the most salts
factory and comprehensive state
ments ever issued by his department,
and is indicative not only of the in
crease of business experiences, but
also of the general policy of economy
current with all the Canyon county
officials.

A Grain of Sense at Last.

A Grain of Sense at Last.
The Boise Statesman first pointed
out, and Mr.. A. A. Phelps, executive
secretary of the Idaho Prohibition
Committee, quickly realized a path
away from the endless expense and
never ending bitterness of local op-
ton elections. The recent decision
of the supreme court in the Doc"
West case again calls attention to the
fact that the board of county conf
missioners can refuse to issue saloon
licenses and then make the county dry.
There are at the present time several
idaho counties which are dry in spite
of the fact that they have never held
local option election. In communi-
cation to the Statesman on this sub
ject, Mr.. Phelps says:
ut is the fact that boards of
county commissioners, city councils,
and boards of trustees, in the various
counties and municipalities of the
state, have, as stated in a Statesman
editorial and, understand, by Justice
Ailshie, absolute power to deny any
and all applications for liquor license
within their respective jurisdiction
In fact there is not square foot of
wet" territory anywhere in the state
except as it is made such by the fact
of these public officials in granting
license. Without such license no per-
son may lawfully engage in the sale
of intoxicants.
"The Statesman is to be compli-
mented for its clearness of vision in
IL Ia
to the expensive and ever-recurring
local option elections, when more
statesman-like method, of electing
officials who are pledged to refuse
license, is open to the people.
This has always been the
contention of the Prohibition
party, and has the added advantage
of ensuing power enforcement of the
law, which is always uncertain under
local option"

tanning themselves and after two or
three years found themselves reduced
to poverty.
Under the Black Canyon Project in
Idaho there are over 900 families who
have been on the land for nearly ten
years, who are still waiting for the
alter to irrigate their lands, but on
the Minidoka project in my state
water was finally furnished and the
people are making every possible eff
It to maintain themselves, and some
OF them are succeeding remarkably
well. Many of them having used all
OF their capital to maintain themselves
before water was available are finding
themselves unable to meet their pay
mentS which have accumulated, and in
some instances their claims are now
subject to cancellation. The secretary
of the Interior has extended the time
of payment from time to time with
the hope that this bill would be enact
ID and the settlers would be able TO
save their claims. If the relief pray
ed for is not afforded, or if the settlers
are burdened with the necessity of
paying interest on the deferred pay
ments, as has been proposed, it would
simply mean that many of them will
DC required to give up their claims,
and all of their suffering and effort
will go for naught, and the claims will
be cancelled. These entries will then
be open to the stranger who will have
the unearned benefit of the work done
by the original entryman, except such
improvements as could be removed
from the land.
AS heretofore stated these settlers
entered the land with the hope of
making home for themselves and
family. They have complied with the
law in every respect, are now con-
fronted with the necessity of paying
two and three times as much for the
land as they originally expected. They
are perfectly willing to meet the in
creased payments, but plead for ali
extension of time within which to
earn the money to do so. The Gov
eminent cannot be injured by the en-
actment of this bill No appropria-
ton is asked, it is simply plain petit
ton from a most deserving class Of
citizens, who ask that the payment of
the debt which is hanging over them
be extended, in order that they may
save their homes and prevent their
families from being thrust out after
having spent years in struggle to get
home upon the public domain.

Are Pushing Surface Cultivation.

Stephens Orchard Co., six miles
southeast of Caldwell, are pushing
surface cultivation with all possible
yigor to loosen the surface and break
the crust produced by the rain of
July Goth. They delayed their second
cutting of their crop of alfalfa in or
der to again get under cultivation 3Ss
acres of orchard. By the law of trans
position of moisture, heavy summer
shower or rainfall sufficient to wet
down to moist soil at once starts in
motion the transposition of. stored
subsoil moisture to the surface, where
it is rapidly evaporated by the sun
and wind.
This compels the careful orchardist
TO act quickly as possible to break the
surface crust, and maintain the loose
mulch. That the Stephens methods
moisture and also developing an ample
of culture are effective in. conserving
supply of plant food, is indicated by
the vigor and growth of orchard
trees, the vivid green, luxuriant foil
age, and by the following measure
ments showing the growth of apple
trees in orchard planted and growing
four and one-third years. These
measurements we're taken July 22nd

THOSE KILOGRAMS.
(BoiSe Statesman,)

The campaign evidently made by
Idaho's pure food commissioner, Wal
lis, for Endorsements by manufactur-
ers of food products sold in Idaho I'M
hampered, by his consent, will not
serve to divert the public mind from
the kilograms showing the commits
sioner's intimacy with the so-called
baking powder trust and his coop
Grafton with it in tearing down an in
dependent concern. The easist thing
in the world to get is signatures to
a petition or the Endorsement of those
who feel they must comply as a mat
ter of business policy; but it is not
going to be easy to wipe out those
kilograms. The public is no doubt
surprised that they have not before
this been made the basis of official
action.

WHO FOR GOVERNOR?

The people of Idaho will soon be
confronted with the question of Sc
Letting by ballot a man for the execu-
tive head of the state. There are sew
eral worthy men presenting their
claims for preferment, and among
them the present governor, John M.
Haines, who has served the state for
two years and has served the state
well. There has been criticism and
there will be of any man who oc-
cupies the exalted Office, but when the
matter is reduced to facts, John NJ
Haines has made a good, clean, hon
est and capable executive, and is en-.
titled to the denomination and cleo.
ton at the hands of the people of the
state.
From all that can be learned
Haines will receive the nomination a
the hands of the people of the state
of the Republican party, and will b,
reelected. He is qualified, is worthy
and is absolutely entitled to be re
turned to the ofice-Idaho FALL

Dubois Bobs up Again.

Former Senator Fred T. Dubois has
come to life again. He is now like
ly candidate for the Bull Moose nomi-
nation for United States senator on
an anti-Mormon platform. The state
chairman of the Progressive party
has been to Blackfoot for consultation,
The plan is to have Mr.. Dubois run for
the senate with Progressive endorse
ment Just how this is to be arrang-
ed rumor sayth not All things are
possible for Dubois and the Bull
Moose party and this endorsement
Will come in the course of time. This
is another shifting of the dishes. We
understand that Senator Dubois will
go into battle for the nomination. He
will make his campaign on anti-Mor
Non lines and capture the nomina-
ton Parenthetically, we do not
know what Mr.. Paul Clagstone will
be doing in the interim. That how
ever, is matter of minor Importance.
Senator Dubois will get the nomina-
ton. He will have behind him that
part OF the Progressive party which is
still alive after the primaries, and the
anti-Mormons of the Republican and
Democratic parties. This outfit is ex-
pected to win. If it does not the jig
IS up with the Bull Moosers. In case
the Dubois plan should win out we
will have here in Idaho party patter-
ned after the Prokearnocrat- party OF
Utah. 1t will be sweet william and
no question about that.
Some months ago we were told that
there ay,aD1a modification for the
Progressive party Social justice"
recall of the judiciary" thou shalt
not steal and other fundamental
principles were sufficient foundation
upon which to build a political party
As every one of sense knew at the
time there was nothing to such soph-
istry and of course the party fell to
pieces, 1t had few outlaw leaders
who could not afford to see the party
die. Another issue had to be dug up.
In looking about the Mormon issue
presented itself and of course there
could be no Mormon fight without
Dubois. That would be like Hamlet
with Hamlet gone fishing. Mr.. Du-
6ois was sought out; dragged away
IRON his insurance business; aud put
to work. The result is the anti. Mor-
nom fight is on again-that is on
again in the minds of Dubois and the
leaders of the Bull Moose party.
The Tribune is not seriously con-
cerned in the Mormon question just
now. We would like to know what is
to become of Paul Clagstone. Paul
is particular friend of ours. We do
not want to see him sidetracked. If
there is anything that would do us
more good than anything else we
know of it would be to see Paul a
