Governor Alexander on Saturday
last issued a Thanksgiving proclama-
ton, designating Thursday, Novem-
Der 25th, as a day on which all
should give thanks for the general
prosperity of the country. There are
various reasons this year why the
people should give thanks and some
of them are enumerated in the pro-
clamation of the Governor which Is
as follows:
THE lives of her citizens rendered
secure from invasion from abroad
and strife from within; enjoying the
inexpressible benefits of peace at
time when so many are plunged into
the horrors of devastating and cruel
war: blessed with health and free
dom from disease; rewarded with the
greatest returns from labor in the
field. in the factory, in business life
and in all other phases of human ac-
tivity ever vouchsafed the citizens of
any nation by an Allwise Providence,
it is meet that activities should cease
and that the minds and hearts Of ev-
cry citizen should turn, for at least
one day, in perfect unison Of praise
and thanksgiving to the God from
whom all blessings come and whose
protecting care and wisdom has en-
abled the people of this nation to
e. enjoy so great advantages and bless

More Water for the Salmon Tract Is
not Available.

The report of the engineers en-
ployed to determine whether fur
ther water supply for the Salmon
tract is procurable at the present
time have reported against its prac-
ticability, so that the matter of max
ing the amount of land under irriga-
ton conform to the amount of water
available in normal years, instead of
making the amount OF water conform
to the amount of land taken up, is
the problem demanding immediate
solution.
Mr.. Hall has received the report
and recommendation of W. n. Glib
on the survey OF a line from the Sal
mon reservoir west to Cedar, House,
David and Deadwood Creeks Alr.
Gibb is familiar with this country,
having done work for the West End
Twin Falls Irrigation Company
which company has filings on these
creeks. as well as Three Creek and
Flat Creek farther west. Two lines
we're run from Cedar Greek TO the
Salmon: the lower line leaving Ce-
dar Creek about the site of the West
End Reservoir; the other farther W
the creek.
The estimated cost of the lower
line is 100000. The estimated cos
of the upper line is $4,000, which
IS equal to an acre foot cost on th'
estimated amount of water whicl
could be delivered of S16.99 per acr
foot for the lower line and SlO.3
for the upper line. This is high cos
, per acre foot and the total amount o
water which can possibly be secure
is small. The total average annua
flow of these four creeks, as show
by the best data available. is 30, oil
acre feet for Cedar and House Greek
254S acre feet for Devil Greek, 263
acre feet for Deadwood Creek, Il
. tai of 25,201 acre feet. Deduction
9 from this total for prior appropri'
!. tions and DEGREES, transmission los
!. es. and of the flow during the montl
o of December and January whiC

bringing the amount which mig
. be received down to the figures abo'
> mentioned.
- THE estimates and conclusions
both Mr.. Gibb and E. B. Darlingto

;, ject. indicate that construction wou
! be very expensive and that the
suits in increased water supl
would not justify the outlay.

Berlin, via Amsterdam and Lon

There are no signs of peace" he

Does that mean" l asked, that
correspondents can soon journey with
the German army across Suez into

If the campaign goes that far,
was the answer. There is no evi

Berlin officials, who are accustom

Anthony ThOma reports that the
seed output of southern Idaho this
year has aroused the interest Of seed
dealers everywhere and he is receiv-
Ing letters OF inquiry from all over
the United States. The Idaho seed is
of better quality than that grown any
where else and the seed dealers of
the country will look to this state for
their supply in the future. 1t begins
10 look as though seed growing
would become one Of the principal
industries of southern Idaho
Gooding Leader
In conversation with travelling
man the other day, we learned
enough to convince us -of the truth
OF the above item This travelling
man. who by the way is no stranger
to the tract. advised US that he had
recently come in contact with large
seed buyer from Ohio. the home Of
the clover seed market, and when
asked why he was seeking Idaho
seed. the Ohio man was at once free
to admit the quality of the seed here
was far above that of Ohio. and that
1t was his desire to obtain a quantity
OF IL TO mix with his native produc-
tion. Inference is drawn from this
that the Idaho seed is mixed with the
Chic production and the entire lot
sold as Ohio seed In fact the Ohit
Quotations. would indicate this, a.
while the Ohio representative was OF
fering 20 cents for red clover seed
the quotations from Ohio were 2O'
per pound, and it is well known tina
the eastern dealer cannot sell thi
product at the same price as pai'
for IL. after shipping 1t to Ohio. TIT
banks here are in receipt of inquir
les every day for the names OF deal
ers and producers OF clover seed
. which indicates that the fame OF Ida
no seed production has reached ia
J. and wide. And there will be stil
greater demand for Southern ldah
Z seeds another year We believe th
D farmer will make no mistake in d'
voting what land he can to the pre-
duction of the various kinds OF cl'
5 yer seeds. With land that can
e bought here from $50 to S'5 pc
10 acre. one years crop of seed will pa
a for the land Prospective investo
g should make note ofethis and g
II I'm on the ground floor as land is SUI
to advance rapidly within the ne

Stand by Home Industry.

While in conversation with one of
the prominent ranchers in this sec
ton a few days ago he said that the
Shoshone COOPERATIVE creamery had
been big help TO the cream produc-
ers of this section and that he be-
lieved they were appreciating the
fact more and more at all times. He
said that many of the ranchers were
iguring on buying more cows and
hat in a short time there would be
more than double the number.
When the Shoshone COOPERATIVE
creamery was put in operation the
producers were getting "a cents fol
their butter fat. but in very short
ime the price jumped to 80 cents
The test and weights at the Shoshon'
creamery are much better than they
were when purchased by any othel
concern and the ranchers feel lik'
they are getting pay for what the,
sell when dealing with this company
He also stated that he had beei
approached by representatives o
other companies stating that the
would pay more for butter fat thai
the Shoshone creamery would, bu
that he believed the ranchers shoul
stand by the home concern.
This rancher is right in this ma
ter, If the corporation butter MANI
facturers can raise the price of bu
d ter fat to such a price that IT is in
possible for cooperative concerns

Great Crop of sugar Beets.

Sugar beets are being hauled into
Kimberly at the rate of about l2O
wagon loads or about $50 tons per
dav In to date there has been ship
ned from this point to the factory at
Burley l2g car loads. This repre-
sents about 1000 tons. Frank John-
son. in charge of the shipping at TINS
noint as we'll as other points along
the line. states that the factory Is
running full capacity and is practi-
cally stalled at the present time
that is to say. the factory Is unaole
to handle the beets as fast as they
can be shipped. AS a consequence nc
heets have been shipped from this
point since Saturday. They are be
ing piled near the railroad right oi
way and will be shipped as fast as
cars are available and the factory
can handle them. There are now
more than 1900 tons in one pie
awaiting shipment This represent
about l2O car loads.
The crop is long way from penn
harvested and the Call Will not haz

Wells, Wells, More Wells-A Sure
Sign of Prosperity.


1t will be quite interesting to many
people who are interested in the
North Side tract to know the numer-
Gus wells that have been drilled and
the marked activity along that line
at the present time. Progressive
farmers on the tract are as rapidly
as possible having wells drilled on
their farms and right here let 1t be
stated that a well on your farm is
almost a necessity which the aver
age farmer cannot get along without.
Stock of all kinds in order to do the
best must have pure clean water,
which if pumped from wells on the
North Side tract is moderate tenn
perature in winter and nice, cool and
thirst quenching in the summer. The
most successful farmers in the coun-
try even go further than merely hav-
ing we'll, but equip the storage tank
so at all times the stock water is
slightly warm and in this condition
the stock drinks more frequently
which aids the digestion OF feeds con-
sumed and at same time assists the
fattening of the animal much more
rapidly. From start of only two
wells in 1909 to now more than 70
in the Jerome district tells the tale
and truly can 1t be stated that over
10 per cent of these wells have been
drilled in the last IS months and to-
day an average of one new well in
every four days is being completed
on the tract. In order to give you
some idea OF the wells now in ope-
ration in the Jerome district of about
II miles square the following Is a
partial list, as each few days brings
in new we'll.

six miles square the following farm

rounced yesterday that its vessels

rying saloon, second cabin and steer
age passengers. Rates will be in

Before the European conflict the
Philadelphia, ST. Paul, New York and
St. Louis, because of their great age
and comparatively smallness, had been
converted irto "one-cabin vessels,
carving at low rates only cabin and
steerage passengers. They were booked
heavily at every departure. when
Germany decreed war zone these
ships became more popular than ever
because of the security offered by the
American flag and the fact that they
did not carry contraband

vice four new 35.000-ton liners, with

Geneva, May p The Austrian gov
ernment has issued an order that all
Austrian ships in Italian waters pro-
cecd az once 20 Triest or Pola.
Germans arriving in Switzerland
from Italy say it is no longer safe to
speak German on the streets of Milan
or Turin, and that several Germans
have been handled roughly by crowds.
Two are reported to have narrowly es-
capped lynching at Brescia.
The Swiss government is to-day
sending more troops to points on the
southern frontier of the republic, es-
pecially to LugaLo. because Of anti
German demonstrations Ii Is estI-
mated that 10000 Germans from Italy
arc in and near Lugano. The Lugano
police apparently are finding difficulty
in dealing with the crowds. Several
thousand Italians are at Lugano wait

Italian steamers are bringing from
cara, in Dalmatia, hundreds of Austro-
Italians, who are fearful OF reprisals
AZ the hands of the Austrians.
