A GOOD POTATO RECORD.

Mr.. w. B. Gilmore, the Payette,
Idaho, Potato Wizard" who won the
second prize of $3.50 in the Burley
contest Of 1910, again comes to the
front in 1913 by breaking the Ameri-
can record. Four reputable citizens
of Canyon county who assisted in
harvesting the crop verify under oath
the measurement Of the ground and
the potatoes, the yield being 1853
bushels, 39k pounds from one acre,
markfe value $442.07.
Prior to 1909 Mr.. Gilmore was a
hotel man, without experience in
farming. His success fully demon
strates that there are great opportun-
tiles on the farm in Idaho for the
young man not afraid of work, who
will use his brains in applying up-to-
date methods.

first of the month
Mss Anna Ne son of Copenhagen
came to Boston on her way to Rigby
Idaho, to marry one Peterson. The
custom house officials stopped Miss
Anna until they could be sure that
she was really going to Idaho to be-
come proper citizen. They wired
Senator Borah; Borah wired Govern
or Hawley; Hawley wired Senator
Hill Of Rigby, and Hill summoned
Peterson to explain whether he loved
Anna Nelson and would he love
honor and keep her if she came. You
bet he would; he would die for her. il
necessary, but he would much rather
live for her. Hill wired Hawley;
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1914-01-30

Hawley wired Borah; Borah wired
Boston, and Anna started west. Bos-
ton wired Borah: "She's off," Borah
wired Hawley: "She's coming" Haw-
ley wired Hill. "See that they are
properly married, and when first
child is born, you are to act as god
father and have it named Borah."
We call upon the editor of the Rigby
Star to make an annual report.
The Star feels obligated to report
on this important matter, so called
on Hill. The question being brought
to his notice, he said he would get
busy and make an Investigation. and
SO called on Fred Peterson. Fred Of
course communicated the whole story
Of Miss Nelson, now Mrs. Peterson,
and reported as follows, according
to Hill: That the formerly Miss An
ma Nelson arrived in Rigby from
Boston on schedule time, per an
nouncements in the kilograms, and
was met by the happy Mr.. Peterson.
They proceeded to carry out their for
mer intentions, and without delay be-
came man and wife, as the lady had
promised the immigration officials
at the port of entry. This was about
year ago. They regret to report
that no young prospective Borah has
arrived which is contrary to expec-
tations. Fred says If they fail in
this part of the story that he will en-
deavor to have his first grandson
christened after Idaho's illustrous
senator, and in this way fulfill his
part of the obligation, for he appre-
ciates the great service he rendered
the lady now Mrs. Peterson. Every
thing but the last item in the contract
has been lived up to, and this PROPOSE
ton seems to be held up by fate.

First MaleChild
Born in Idaho
(Pocatello Tribune)


Hyrum Frew, well known citizen
and sturdy ranchman of Idaho Falls,
was down to Ogden yesterday, AMI in
course of conversation to a reporter
claimed to be the first male child born
in Idaho and there is good reason for
his claim. We have never heard 1t
disputed, and Hy has held on to his
claim for good many years.
Says the Standard:
Mr.. Frew left Ogden about q years
ago, when it was mere village and
he marks with much pleasure and sur
prise the progress made since that
time. He and "Billy" Wilson work
ed together in the canyon. getting
out timber, and he says that as he
rode over the canyon boulevard yes
terday in an automobile he wildly re-
called the conditions of the roads
when he logged" over it. The Her
mitage and surroundings were reve-
lations to him and he had nothing but
words of congratulations for his old
friend "Scott" as he called Mr.. Will
son. .-
Mr.. Frew says that he was the first
white male child born in the state
of Idaho. That was in 1850 at Frank
lin and the domicile in which he was
born was wagon box. He has lived
in the Gem state since that tine, ex-
cept when he was a resident of Og-
den.
Farming has made more rapid pro-
gress the visitor contended, than most
any other industry in Idaho, and tor
day there are many large farms He,
in company with others who have
formed company, farm about 5000
acres of dry land. His share of the
crop in 1913 was 5000 bushels of
wheat. The blowing, planting and
harvesting has been done with large
steam traction engines, but Mr.. Frew
says that mules are now taking the
place Of steam.
Mr.. Frew says that fifty good mules
will do much more on a dry farm
than a sixty-horse power engine, as
they can be worked in s and 10 mule
teams and if one section is out of
commission the others continue the
work Of planting and harvesting. On
the other hand, when the machinery
attached to a steam engine gets out
of commission the entius working
force is at standstill and he says
that the engines and other machinery
on the dry farms frequently break
down after the first year of use. He
is of the opinion that it will be only
a few years when mules will do all
the farm work.

There will be no special national
convention OF the Republican party
next spring
Southern representation will be re
stricted in the regular national conven
ton of 1916. subject to ratification by
two-thirds OF the states which elected
Taft electors in 1908.
All state primary laws will be rec
ognixed and all delegates who had GER
ti1cates from state canvassing boards
will be put upon the temporary roll
Of the 1916 convention.

meeting OF the Republican national

beginning with the question Of the
power OF the national committee tc

the proposition to call special con

a vote of 35 states to IA, and then the
resolution to make the change by ac'

1t seems certain that the next Re

by a Democratic administration which
has already lost public confidence,
which has already depressed business
and which has already furnished proof
of the infinite capacity of the Demo.

may, the national Republican commit
