A NEW AND VERY
MERITORIOUS ENTERPRISE

The Idaho Alfalfa Milling company
has recently been incorporated with
the following officers at the head:
H. N. Heimerdinger, president; N
s. Sage Of Shelley, secretary, and G.
V. Fisher, cashier Of the .Standrod
bank, treasurer.
We live in a farming community
where the agricultural possibilities are
almost unbounded. If the necessary
steps are taken to meet it's demands.
To do this farming must be under
stood. The farmer must study and
experiment. BY doing this he will
learn and become proficient. This Is
realized more today than It ever was
before. The prosperous farmer knows
it and he is also taking advantage Of
every available opportunity that pre-
sents itself, whereby he can increase
his possibilities, bethN his conditions
and help build up the community in
which he lives.
Secondly and just as important, he
must have a ready market for his
products. This is many times over
looked. We plant and produce and
simply trust to luck for a market. In
a country like this where only Ger
tain crops can be raised prof1tably a
ready market is Of the greatest i'm
portance. The only way to properly
adjust this is to lend our aid and sup
port to such enterprises that will
create demand and establish a mar.
ket for our products.
For this reason we look to the Idaho
Alfalfa Milling. company, recently in
corpporated as one of the greatest.
most useful and beneficial enter
prises ever established in the Snake
river valley.
1t will create steady, never fail
ing market for every ton of Alfalfa
produced in this valley, thing long
wished for will thus be realized.
Frost bitten wheat or grain Of any
kind, ON account of certain conditions
rendered of an inferior quality, and
considered loss to the far
mer, will also find ready and open
market. In this way our agricultural
possibilities will be greatly enhanced

day evening. He will be assisted in
the work of inspection by his assist
ant, ]. R. Burkett, who is already on
the ground, and w. G. Swendsen, Il
we'll known engineer of Boise. 1t is
the understanding that the Utah Con.
struction company and the Corey
Brothers Construction company will
have thair engineers On the ground at
the same time. At least two weeks,
it is thought, will be consume d in this
inspection and the making of the re-
port. 4
Another significant thing cropped
out in the meeting of the state land
board Friday morning This was that
the Big Lost River project would be
sold at HALEY April 4, even if it be-
comes necessary for the state to buy
it in.
The Blackfoot optimist. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1907-1918, 1914-03-26

and the producer will be benefited.
Now another thing Stock raising
is and should be one Of the greatest
and most profitable industries of this
valley. So. far, however, we must
admit that for ,fattening OF full-feed
We have been greatly handicapped,
because we have lacked a properly bal
anced fed. We have had to depend
on other states for the balanced
feed or We have been compelled to
ship our stock to receive the finish
ing touches in some other state True,
much stock has been fed with soma
success; that is, some money has been
made but any stockman knows that
loose alfalfa is fed with great deal
Of waste, both as to hay and results,
and more SO with loose grain.
Now it is an established fact proven
long ago to every stockman's satisfac-
ton who has tried it that the finished
product Of mill of this kind is the
quickest, hsalthiest and most fat
producing feed on the market, the
easiest handled and can be fed with
quicker results and less waste than
any other food.
According to Government expert
ments and chemical analysis it has
been ascertained and established be-
yond doubt that the molasses from
our sugar factories properly mixed
with alfalfa meal has no equal es a
feed for any kind Of stock. AS q
matter Of fact mill of this kind can
and will put on the market finished
products that will meet every demand
Of the stock industry.
To the farmer of this valley it
means, therefore, that a ready mar
ket will be created for one of the chief
products; other products always sub.
tect to inevitable conditions and hith-
erto considered loss will also find
a market.

SALE MAY
BE STOPPED

Boise. March ia serious snag
has been encountered in the Big Lost
river negotiations, and there is dan
ger that the neceivership sale sche
duled to be held in Haley April I
may fall through.
w. H. Watts of the Utah Construc
ton company has served notice that
he will not bid dollar for the pro
ject until the Mackay reservoir is
safe and feasible, or that there is .
feasible dam and reservoir site else
where, either at the Narrows or
Thousand Springs. He takes the
position that the whole system is
worthless. without water. and that
the only way to get water is to i'm
pound it in reservoir.
Watts demanded that the stat:
land board send the state engineer to
cooperata with his engineers in max
ing a thorough inspection of the Mac
kay dam and reservoir. Judge Die
trich OF the federal court ordered
James e. Clinton. the receiver, to
postpone the sale to- April 4, pend.
ing this examination.
Now the state land board refuses to
send the state engineer to make the
inspection. The officers of the land
board take the position that it is no
mart If their dutioa tn d<,termine tn a
feasibility of the Mackay reservoir,
and they do not propose to have tho
state held responsible in any degree
for the success or failure Of the pro-
jcct-that it Is a matter wholly up
to the promoters.
The land board had the matter up
today with Receiver Clinton. 1t is
barely possible that tho parties to
the sale may still get. together, but
the outlook Is considered dubious.

Boise, March 20.-In statement
made by Attorney General Peterson.
speaking for the full board, it was
set forth that it was no part of the
states duty to determine the feast
bility of the Mackay dam-that. it
was insisted, was the sole duty of
Mr.. Watts, the prospective pur-
chaser.
1t seemed to be the determination
Of every member of the board that
no responsibility whatever shall at
tach to the state for the success or
failure of the Big Lost River project

There Will Be One Bidder

1t was broadly limited by James E.
Clinton, the receiver for the company,
that if w. H. Watts were not salts
fled as to the feasibility Of the Mac
kay dam and reservoir, he would re,
fuse to bid when the property was
offered for sale; and that as there
was no other prospective buyer in
sight the sale would not take place
and it would be necessary to advertise
all over again later.
This delay the state will not sub
nit to if the expressions heard at the
meeting of the land board may be
taken to Indicate the course to be pur-
sued No definite action was taken,
but it was the expressed determina-
ton of the members that the state
would bid at least enough to pay all
the receivership costs, and take the
property in at this figure if there
are no other bids. 1t was thought
that $4,000 would be sufficient to
clean up all court costs, and this will
in all probability be the states bid
il it is found necessary to bid at all
Bargain or an Elephant
The Corey Brothers lien on this
property is approximately 100000
and thsy have been hoping for bid
Of this size at least to let them out
without Toss. Taking this as basis
of the value of the project the state
would seem to be getting rare bar
gain in purchasing the property for
100000. At the same time there is
force in the statement made by w. H.
Watts. that if there is not dam and
reservoir in the system there is
nothing.
The Blackfoot optimist. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1907-1918, 1914-03-26

while at the same time doing all in
their power to insure the success OF
thosy who take hold of it.
Game Warden Steps In
Receiver Clinton explained that Mr..
Watts sent his engineers to Mackay
to examine the dam; that when they
turned the water off to enable them
to do the necessary work, Game War
den Barber stepped in and compelled
them to stop in order to save the fish
To this extent Receiver Clinton in-
sisted. that the state was responsible
for the present tie-up. He also re-
minded the officials that it was tho
state land board that ordered the
work on the Mackay dam stopped
four years ago; that this was prac.
teal condemnation Of the project by
the state; and that now it was the
duty Of the state to set the matter
right.
Sale Postponed Again
Because he' would not bid on tho
project until after the examination Of
tho Mackay dam and reservoir, Mr..
Watts and the representatives of the
Corey Brothers Construction COM
pany petitioned Judge Dietrich to
postpone the sale advertised to take
place last Saturday. Judge Dietrich
who was holding court at Pocatello
at the time, wired a postponement Of
