The directors of the Salmon River
Settlers association held their regu-
lar meeting in the Office of County
Assessor j. w. Beauchamp, Tuesday

cation purposes.
The matter of sending commit
tee to Boise, composed of members Of
the Desert Settlers association and
the Salmon Settlers association to
appear before the state land board

Farm Markets Director Scholtz is
now at Seattle. He is making tour
of the northwest cities to become IA
miliar with market conditions. Writ
ing from Seattle he gives a valuable
pointer to poultrymen of this state.
He says: IAN item that may interest
Idahoans is the price of eggs here
strictly fresh No. eggs retailing at
SO and 60 cents per dozen; five cents
piece is going some. You might
say, if you wish, that 1 am investigat-
ing the Oregon and Washington mar
kets in the interest of the Idaho
farmers; that fancy fresh Idaho eggs
can now be placed on the Seattle
market for 40 cents a dozen whole
sale at which price l saw some move
today. In fact some moved at 4Sc
but they were extra select, guaran-
teed stock. Seattle right now is an
attractive market for Idaho poultry
and eggs-if put onto the market in
satisfactory condition. The express
rate is low enough to permit a good
margin of profit. BY corresponding
with the farm markets office we can
put them in touch with marketing
conditions here. Capital News.

State Sanitary Inspector Elrod, of
the health department, says a Twin
Falls paper, recently made an inspec-
ton of the county hospital of that
county and according to Mr.. Elrod,
the county has no reason to be proud
of the conditions found there and he
vigorously scored that institution to
the county commissioners in a ses-
sion held Tuesday night at the court
house. His orders practically close
the county hospital to the entrance
of further patients under its present
condition and makes imperative a
number of improvements.

Conyicts on the Highways.

At a meeting of the board of par
ions at Boise last week, resolution
was passed permitting the prisoners
now working on the state farm in
the Gem irrigation district to be en-
ployed this winter in state highway
work without expense to the districts
to which they are assigned. This ac-
ton will permit the convicts to work
outside. They are all TRUSTEES and
are anxious to continue at labor that
will not confine them to the interior
of the states penal institution. Al
winter is coming on there is very lit
tie for them to do on the proieci
farm and the board is anxious to SEE
their time occupied.

Ex-Governor James H. Hawley is
the most honored citizen In the state
of Idaho, according to the designa-
tion that has been given him by Gov
ernor Alexander in response to re-
quest from the Panama-Pacific Inter-
national exposition. The manage
ment OF the exposition will therefore
present to Ex-Governor Hawley as it
will to the citizens similarly desig-
mated by other states, a medal and
his name will be presented to the
hall OF fame at the exposition.
Some time ago the exposition
management made this request TO
Governor Alexander. 1t was announc-
ed at the time that requests of a
similar nature has been made to the
governors OF other states and that If
the designation would be made it
was the plan of the exposition to spe-
cially honor such citizens not only
with exercises at the exposition, but
with the presentation of a medal
Few men in Idaho are more wide
ly known than is Ex-Governor Haw-
ley. He is recognized as one of the
greatest criminal lawyers in the
state and is one of the most honor
ed members OF the bar. He has the
distinction of being one OF the early
pioneers, having come to Idaho in
the early gold days. He has been
active in public life and has taken
great interest in the development of
the state. Mr.. Hawley served as
territorial governor of the state
through 1911 and 1912. He later
was a candidate for United States
senator and was placed in nomina-
tion by his party but was defeated at
the general election which followed.
He has been this states representa-
tive at many functions in other
states.-Capital News.

Trial marriages are not only be-
coming popular, but are becoming
very popular in Chicago under the
Illinois divorce law according to the
conclusions reached by Victor Ar
lold, judge of the circuit court, after
A six-day assignment to a divorce
court.
The state circuit court has held
hat marriages contracted in other
states by divorced persons within one
year after gaining a decree in llli-
lois are not legal in this state.
These trial marriages are taking
place every day beyond question,
said Judge Arnold. 1T is apparent
hat under this system persons may
larry as often as they wish, try 1t 6
while, and if not satisfactory, gain
divorce on the plea that the marriage
took place within the prohibited
period."

A Word to Jerome District Farmers.

4 Word to jerome District Farmers.
AS you all know, the new creamery
will soon be open for business, and
knowing that the interest of the pat
rons and butter maker are mutual.
Having read and heard so much con-
cerning the quality of cream from
our creamery and government ex-
perts and having the same expert
ence and heard of the remedies, we
feel II to our advantage at this time
to give the following suggestions as
to the care of milk and cream. The
only butter maker that ever made
and we are not ready to die at pres
ent We respectfully ask the pat
rons to help us make good butter
by furnishing us the best of cream.
Profitable dairying depends on the
right kind of man selecting the right
kind of COW and the right kind of
feed. The amount of feed is under
his control, so if the COW does not
do as we'll as she ought, it is the
fault of the man and not the COW.
Men do not gather apples from
thorns, neither can man get good
pure milk or cream from poor feed,
dirty water, foul air or filthy stables
Cleanliness is next to godliness
Nowhere is this more true than in
handling milk or cream, which is the
most perishable article on the farm
So, first be clean. Milk and remove
the milk from barn before stirring
up feed and dust. Milk with dry
hands. Clean the COW before milk
ing. Have separator in clean room
away from hog. pens and stable

Steady Stream of Gold Pouring
into the North Side Tract
the Past Month.

This year 1t may well be said of
the settlers on the North Side tract
that Everything comes 10 those who
wait" This has been evidenced ever
since the harvest began, and now the
settlers are reaping the fruits OF
their seasons work. During the
growing season some interruptions
occurred in the delivery OF water
and some OF the pessimistic ones pre-
dicted great calamities for the tract,
hut as the season advanced and the
early sown crops showed no damage
from the want OF water. confidence
began to be restored. which has in
creased every day.
When threshing began many Of
the settlers looked with wonder on
the yields OF grain that Was being
turned out, and we'll they might, as
statistics that have been obtained
show that the average yield OF grain
on raw land showed about 26 bush
els per acre, while the average on
land that had been In alfalfa Shove
an average OF 81 bushels to the
acre. The government crop Stats
tician who was in jerome short
time ago stated that the average
yield OF grain on the North Side
tract was above the average OF any
section In the state that he had Wis
tied
But the production OF grain Is onl!
one OF the sources OF income TO, tn,
settlers here. as many Of them have
harvested abundant crops OF clover
seed OF various kinds. which w'
might add has shown the best re
suits OF any crop that has been har
vested In this section. AS there hai
not report reached our ears where
the returns from Il crop OF cloNel
seed would not more than pay th'
entire price OF the land.
But 1t might be said that thes'
reports are easy to make, but tina
the money is what counts. Well
the past month has indicated tina
someone at least has raised SOM
crops, AS the records will show tina
upwards OF s1l1.O00.00 has beei
paid to the settlers on the tract tn
past month alone. to say nothing o
the grain. seeds. potatoes, hay AM
other produce, together with stocl
that is still being held on the tract
AS an evidence of the amount o
grain still being held on the tract
might be stated that while the re
port from the various threshers sho'
that there have been over 2OO'VV
bushels of grain threshed, the recor
of shipments totals only about IL
600 bushels.
To substantiate our claim thi
there has been over 100000 distril
uted among the farmers In the u
rome district the past month "

Rolling Out the Money.

Reports from he clover hullers
this week show some good returns
from red clover.
Fred Otto threshed out an average
ot < bushels per acre, which is about
tbe best thai we haze heard from.
his neighbor, L. V. Cook'
will give him a close chase, as the
latter is now threshing out his crop
of Is acres and Mr.. Cook reported
Yesterday morning that about nan
of the field had been threshed ana
the result showed an average Oh
about 7 bushels per acre.
e c. Gleason had his crop thresh
cd the past week, and his average
vield will run from to 9 bushels TO
the acre. the difference being occa-
stoned by his having his crop on dit-
ferent fields, some of which was wa
,ored twice while some received only
one watering.
chester Bros. who reside 6 " miles
northwest of Jerome had quite an
acreage of peas this year that were
mt in under contract with the seeo
companies. The crop was threshe'
ont the past week returning an aver
aee of % bushels to the acre. Ihh
crop was contracted before planting
for 4 cents per pound. and while tn'
nrice at the present time is abov'
that figure, even at this it Will p'
seen that the crop averaged soine
thing over $50 per acre.
