SHOULD HAVE COMPENSATION

The slaughter of animals afflicted
with contagious diseases. by the
state veterinarian, is calling forth a
demand on the part of many that
some law be enacted whereby the
owner of the animals so killed may
receive some compensation.
We note from some of our ex-
changes that malady has broken
out among the horses in the Payette
country and the state veterinarian
is now In that locality investigating
the same.
Those who have had an opportun-
ity to look closer into the disease say
that 1t is what is known as dourine.
and that II effects horses with great
er fatality than the glanders and is
much more contagious. 1t is an old
country disease and heretofore has
never attacked the horses of the
| United States to any great extent. II
is very contagious and unless Sc
verely dealt with generally sweeps
over any country affected with disas.
trous results to horses. Mr.. Hurd is
now at Horseshoe Bend investigating
the case to determine what action tc
take. Should 1t prove to be dourine
strict quarantine apd drastic meas
ures with all infected or exposed
animals will be necessary.
Recently at Buhl. man named
Umphener had six horses killed whicl

A new and somewhat startling
plan of advertising the RESOURCES of
the states is being boosted from Chi
cago, the home of the famous land
shows. says the Twin Falls Times.
The idea is to gather exhibits from
every state into a gigantic tent show
which will travel like any cilcus by
train, having its own equipment. In
to % of the big cities of the east the
seven mammoth tent exhibition will
be sent and LET. t. d its work unucr

were suffering from glanders accord
ing to the views of the state veteri-
marian, although local veterinarians
disclaimed this to be the casue of
the sickness of the horses. The ami
mails, however, were killed, and as
they were the mans only means of
support, the loss falls very heavily
on him. He resisted the action of
the state officials and was arrested
for this, but was found not guilty
upon a trial of the case. This par
ticular case leads the Rupert Pioneer
Record to suggest that some change
law requires that these animals be
killed, lit makes no provision for
any remuneration to the owner. Ii
seems that some change should be
made in the law and that the man
who is 20 unfortunate as to find him
self up against such a misfortune
should receive at least a part of the
value OF the animals. 1t is no fapit
| OF the general public that man s
animals become infected with this
disease. yet some worthy member OF
the community may be innocently
responsible and at the same time be
sufferer. 1t is a pretty serious
thing to take away ones only means

Captured the Sweepstakes.

Somewhat of surprise to Idaho
people is contained in dispatch
from Prof. Olin, who is attending
the National Corn Show at Dallas.
Texas, to the effect that Idaho had
captured the sweepstakes prize for
the best ear of corn offered on ex-
hibit at the show. This will be an
occasion for some of our Iowa and
Illinois farmers to sit up and take
notice.

Government Control.

That all future irrigation work
in Oregon must be financed by bond
issues and carried out with the aid
of the federal government was the
dominating idea expressed at the
opening sessions of the Oregon
state irrigation congress Friday.
Speakers varied in their views as to
proper forms of security and redemp-
tion of bonds, but united on this
basic idea
John T. Lewis, state engineer for
Oregon, put forth a plan to utilize
the superior credit of the federal
government to issue per cent bonds
one-half of which would be secured
by state 4 per cent bonds and both
issues to run spontaneously for so
years.
Ii is becoming more apparent ev-
cry day that a mistake was made
! in the Carey act law when it per-
| fhitted private individuals 10 con-
struct irrigation works So many
tended to discredit the system, and
as a consequence eastern farmers
have become suspicious of irrigation.
The construction and maintenance
of these projects should have been
left in the hands of the government
or the states.
That the government is taking a
deeper interest in irrigation matters
is evidenced from the acts of the
Secretary of the Interior and as a
sample of what his department pro-
poses to do during the present year.
we may take the following from the
Spokesman Review:
Secretary Franklin X. Lane OF
the interior department, long a
western man, and of the Pacific
coast, shows a grasp of western needs
and problems. Work on government
irrigation projects has been tagging
Secretary Lane now directs the rec
lamation service TO go forward with
vigor, and provision is made for a
total expenditure in 1914 of s2S,-
460,555.
OF this great sum, nearly half is
apportioned to Montana, Idaho

Learning that the Merchants and
Manufacturing Association of Mil
waukee, Wis, are contemplating a
trip to the coast in the spring, the
Boise Commercial Club have sent
that body an invitation to so plan
their western trip that it may include
visits to some of the scenic wonders
of Idaho, namely the Great Sho-
shone Falls, the Thousand Springs,
and some of the big irrigation works
of the state. There will be several
car loads of these excursionists and
a visit to this section would be of
much interest to them.

w. B. Slick appeared before the
state land board on Wednesday and
pleaded for protection for his vested
interests in the King Hill district. He
has property there. he said. valued
at s125,000. The system is to be
sold at receivers sale March 10th
and he felt that he and others who
invested in good faith should have
their interests protected by the state.
He was assured by the board men,

rights OF the settlers would be safe
guarded in the contract OF sale.-

The fact should not be forgotten
that the government is now eXpend-
ing on irrigation projects sums vast
ly greater than its contemplated
100000 railroad investment in
Alaska. On projects in these four
states of the Pacific northwest it had
expended. on January l, 1913, more
than $S0,0OO,0OO. 1t now provides
for an additional expenditure this
year of more than S11. 100000. Thus
by the end of 1914 it will have in ir-
rigation projects in Montana, Idaho
Washington and Oregon an invest
ment exceeding the estimated cost
of the Alaska undertaking.
This is not uttered in any spirit of
disparagement of Alaska and the i'm
portance of its approaching develop
ment. Spokane and the Inland En-
pire will rejoice in the prosperity of
that vast and isolated territory. But
it is not necessary that, under the
spell and glamour of disance and
mystery, we should overlook still
greater government projects that lie
Immediately around us.
Alaska will develop, but its create
ultimate development seems far III
the future. 1t has agricultural pos
sibilities, but they can never measure
up to the assured potentialities of ir.
rigation in the Pacific northwest.
In these four statss we have now

AUTO WILL
 CARRY MAIL
Sam Stokes to Use Automobile For
 Carrying Mail.

$. R. Stokes of this place was re- gently awarded the contract for car rying the mail from here to Hunts vile, the inland county seat of Madi- son county. Mir. Stokes has had this contract for several years, and that he has given the best of service to the Postoffiee Department is shown in the fact that he is given the contract again this year, at al most double the figure of the form CT ones In keeping with the raise in salary, Mr Stokes expects to do away with carrying the mail by stage and will use an automobile for the purpose. He is now figuring with Earl East, and will in all probability buy the Studebaker Six. This ma chine is one of the best in this sec tion, and has ample horse power to carry the mail and several passen- gers. The auto will go on next week, and will have a regular schedule, the same as other mail conyeyances, the only change being from Spring dale to Huntsville and return the same day By stage this was i'm possible, and the mail has been trans
 ferred. This will give Huntsville people as good mail service as could be expected with regular mail trains. The auto will leave Springdale im- mediately after No 3 fast mail train from the north, and will arrive in Huntsville before noon. This gives two automobiles to Huntsville each day, equal to two passenger trains, the auto truck and the mail auto.

 two were to mahe the punch, two the coffee, two spread the table, this was the biggest and the most inter- estng, for the table @ was loaded and only those present will ever know all the good things prepared by Mrs. Ownbey. The snake com- mittee created quite little fun, how ever, all the work they had was chas- ing one lizard and 'inventing" snakes. We enjoyed the iced punch all the afternoon then had supper be- fore leaving for home.
 This was an ideal day, an ideal place and an ideal hostess so it was with a pang of regret that We saw the big wagon coming to take us away from the banks of the River Sine X.
