Better Return Through Idaho.

To our eastern readers who are
visiting the Exposition,
we would advise purchasing their
tickets so that their return passage
may take them through Idaho. Our
attention has been called to this from
the following dispatch from San
Francisco. which indicates that many
would like to return this way but
find that they cannot exchange their
tickets:
San Francisco-A large number of
people who visit the Idaho exhibits
have bought tickets over other lines
are desirous. now that they have seen
the products of the state. to have the
route changed so that they can visit
Idaho.
| Executive Commissioner Czizek has
taken the matter up with the Oregon
Short Line. but finds that this chang,
cannot be made owing to ruling o
the interstate commerce commission
Mr.. Czizek, however. is OF the opin
ion that were the commercial bodie

OF the different cities of the state to
take the matter up with the utilities
commission and have this commis-
sion urge through proper representa-
ton that the Oregon Short Line
might grant this change 1t could be
done. Mr.. Czizek is solicitous about
this matter and Idaho commercial
bodies should act at once through the
federated clubs. Should this be sue
cessful it will mean that hundreds of
prospective investors would visit the
state who otherwise could not do SO.
AS usual Idaho is to the front In
the matter of awards for it's agricul-
tural exhibits. The state exhibits
have received Il gold medals, one
hundred silver medals, seventy bronze
medals and five medals of honor,
making a grand total of one hundred
and ninety-six medals. These medals
cover all kinds of farm products.
In the matter of potatoes Idaho re-
ceiyed the highest award for individ-
ual exhibits and also for it's collection
of potatoes as a whole.
The Meridian cheese factory and
the Parma cheese factory each re.
ceived medal of honor.

Man Elecuocuted at Eden.

The practice of moving hay der
ricks under high tension electric lines
claimed another victim at the Roger
son farm about miles west of Eden
last Saturday.
James Pritchard, Ed Schlenger and
others were engaged in moving the
hay derrick from the Rogerson farm
across the road to the Berry place.
To accomplish this they had to pass
under the wires of the Great Shosho-
ne & Twin Falls Water Power Co. In
some manner the wires of the der
rick were brought in contact with the
electric wires and Ed Schlenger re-
ceived a charge that caused his inst
ant death. The juice burned a hole
in his right shoulder and one in his
right foot.
J The foreman, Jas. Pritchard, was
also badly burned and escaped death
by very narrow margin.
The body of Schlenger was brought
to Rupert Monday by Coroner w. A
Goodman and prepared for shipment
TO American Falls for interment, rela
tives of the deceased residing at that
place.-Rupert Record.

Cooperative Creamery Has Grown
Fast from Start.

The story of the success of the
Caldwell Cooperative Creamery is
rather hard to believe if one is not
conversant with the wonderful possi-
bilities OF Canyon county.
For years the representatives of
the L. ). department of agriculture
have strongly advised the farmers to
go deeper into dairying. The crops
OF alfalfa and clover and the climatic
conditions render the territory unus-
ually well adapted to the industry
and the results scored by the Cooper
ative Creamery Association bear out
the contention that Canyon county.
Idaho. will become one OF the most
important dairy centers In the entire
country before many years elapse.
The Caldwell creamery began bust
ness October /, 1914. and the first
month made 1000 pounds of butter.
This was conceded to be good
business and the wiseacres who had
predicted failure admitted that under
proper management the creamery
might be successful
In May. the month just passed. the
creamery made over 10000 pounds
OF butter. most of which brought
nfrom y to lc above the market price
at Seattle. where larger part was
marketed. The creamery paid to the
patrons over $500. after deducting
all expenses
Last week Prof G. T. Frevert. U.
;. department OF agriculture. visited
the creamery and after examination
pronounced the output above the
average. declaring that the butter
would score 80 per cent.
The creamery has just completed
arrangements with a well known cap
italist OF the coast. and will hereafter
furnish dairy and feeder stock to tn,
farmers OF this territory at a reason
. able rate and terms to suit.

VERY GRATIFYING.

Tho attention of our readers and |
al others interested in the North |
c,da Tract Is called TO the statement
made 10 the settlers on the tract by
Mr. II L. Shepherd. which appears
a. another column The figures as
nrasented in the crop report and 9th
or statistics presented should certain
" appeal to the pride OF everybody in
any WAYS connected with this section.
Az they Indicate steady growth and
development OF this great section.
What is the most gratifying of all
in this article is the assurance from
Mr.. Shepherd that with conserva-
tive and intelligent use of the water
available for the tract. that a sufii-
eient flow will be maintained
throughout the season TO mature all
crops. When II is taken into consid-
Grafton the extreme dry season. and
also the fact that several of the tracts

County ofticials-and 1t may go SO
far as to include all creditors of the
county-are hereafter to be paid
their salaries every three months in
stead of monthly as has been the rule
heretofore.
This is very important ruling
handed down by the supreme court of
this state last week in an opinion in
the case entitled Robert H. Leonard
VS.. John S.St. Clair which came before
it from Owyhee county. The opinion
is also construed to include the pay
ment of claims against the county 1t
overturns a system which has been
followed in the payment of county
salaries during the past few years in
all but two of the counties of the
state - Owyhee and Washington-
where the auditors have held that sal
aries under the constitution should
be paid quarterly instead of monthly.
The supreme court agrees with them.
The test case came before the su-
preme court in the form of a writ OF
mandate. Leonard is the probate
Judge of Owyhee county St Clair
is the auditor of that county. Leon
: ard demanded that the auditor draw
him warrant for salary covering the
} month of May of the present year. st.
1 Clair refused to do so on the grounds
t the constitution of the state provides
| that his salary like the salary of all
2 county officials shall be paid quarter
l ly-not monthly. This raised test
I issue. Leonard applied to the SUI
preme court for a writ of mandate to
: compel the auditor to issue his war
n rant monthly. A temporary writ was
d ordered issued commanding st. Clail
to appear before the supreme tribun.
: al of this state and show cause why
e he should not issue the monthly war
e rant to Leonard. st. Clair then de
u INJURED to the writ. The suprem,
court in its opinion sustains the de
II murrer and quashes the writ

Prominent Visitors.

Saturday OF this week is the date
hxed for the visit of the Congression-
al delegation to this section. and ar
rangements have been made for as
guests as their time will permit The
delegation will arrive on the morning
train over the Short Line. where they
VIII be met with autos and taken for
short trip over a portion OF the
tract. and thence to Shoshone Falls
or Blue Lakes. where they will be met
by delegation from Twin Falls.
While the Investigations of this
delegation is mostly confined to the
government reclamation projects, 1t is
the desire of the people of the irri-
gated sections to show to them what
has been accomplished in the way of
reclaiming the desert. I'm the hopes
that congress may look with more
liberal favor upon this section of the
country. The personnel of the dele
cation is as follows:

With part of the grain crop there
was seeded 5000 acres to alfalfa and
3429 acres to clover.
If this crop can be brought to
harvest in good condition and the
market continues fair. it will produce

The income from the live stock
should produce about $6OO.0OO.OO.

farmers income from the years work
on the project at the sum of two mil
lion dollars, provided we can pull

This is a prize worth the best effort
of each one of us. 1t can be done If
we all work together.
AS to our water supply-you all
know that this is a short water year
not only on this project but on al
others AS you have been advised
the snow fall in the mountains was
only 80 per cent of normal. so We
cant expect anything but very low
water. Today our share of the natur
al flow of the Snake River is abou
4OO second feet. We are using store,
ond feet at the present time. w

that they can only let US have as
minimum 10000 acre feet and as

maximum 100000 acre feet at Jack
son Lake. In addition to this we
have 10000 acre feet of our own. Af-
ter deducting the losses this means
that we have left from now on for
the rest of this season about one acre
foot of water for each acre of land
now in crop. This will be enough If

We believe that a general system
of rotation between the water users

fit to you. A plan like this we think
is practical and ought to work. we tC

Notes of the Conference

In order to supply the visiting min
listers and laymen with mail daily. a
miniature pOstOffice has been fitted up
in the basement OF the First VI. Z.
church. This makes IL possible for
visiting clergymen 10 receive their
mail just as fast as it brought in by
Uncle Sam.
Speculation as 10 who will be ap-
pointed clerical delegates TO the gen.
eral conference at Saratoga Springs,
which lasts a month beginning Nav 1.
Is already rife among the conference
visitors. No intimation OF the ap-
pointees has been made by Bishop
Mcdowell, who names the delegates.
Chief among those slated for this
position are the Rev Henry L. Davis.
pastor of the First Methodist church
of this city; Rev. F.. w Waring, as
sistant editor of the Christian Advo-
cate, Cincinnati; Rev. u. G.. Leazenby,
superintendent OF the era vfordsville
district: DR. j. G.. Campbell, superin-
tendent OF the Greencastle district,
and the Rev. NJ II. Appleby, superin-
tendent of the South Bend district OF
this number it is understood that Rev.
Leazenby will be certain to be ap-
pointed.
The general conference at Saratoga
Springs next May to which four lay
delegates and four ciergymen from
the Northwest Indiana conference are
to be appointed and elected during the
present session here, is the legislative
body Of the church. 1t makes and
mobiles all church laws. elects bishops
and carries on the general work Of
Methodism in this country.
Marvin Campbell, regarded in Indi-
ana Methodism as one of it's strongest
laymen will undoubtedly be elected a
lay delegate TO the general conference
at Saratoga Springs next year. This
will be the fourth time that Mr.. Camp
bell has been elected, and while ii is
understood that he is not seeking the
election, it is generally admitted that
he will be one of the delegates. His
influence and power in Methodism is
strong, and he is regarded as one of
the most influential lay delegates that
the northwest conference has ever
sent to the general conference w. z.

association, is looked upon as a likely
choice of this conference. The names
of Frank Evans of Charlottesville and
U. l.. Allen of Greencastle are also be-
ing considered.
Much interest in the Methodist
Book Concerns display in the base
ment of the church has been shown
by the visiting ministers. The book
concern has a display on hand of over

stalled a cash register.
