is PROVING A MOST PROFITABLE ENTERPRISE

Dairying on the Idaho Irrigation
Company Tracts has in the last two
years been one of the most profit
able among the livestock industries.
This is largely due to the favorable
conditions found here that make it
one of the best dairying sections
to be found in the United States. The
most successful dairying section to be
found anywhere is one where an am
pie supply of grass feeds is plentiful,
and on account of the best of feeds
of all kinds being produced at min
imum of cost, makes it one of the
best dairying sections.
Alfalfa hay, together with the best

dairying country, and particularly on
this project as is well known, alfalfa
and pastures are of the finest, our al
falfa going from four to five tons to
the acre in three cuttings, besides
giving for month or six weeks pas
turing on the alfalfa fields after the
third cutting has been cut. Our pas
lures here will feed from two to three
dairy cows six to seven months out
of each year. Alfalfa hay is grown
and put into stack at a cost of from
$3.50 to $500 per ton.
Compare these conditions with the
vast dairying operations that are car
ried on in the West and East coast
states, where pasture is oftentimes
short on account of it being a non
irrigated section, together with al
falfa hay which has to be shipped in
costing the dairyman from $12 to
S15 per ton. In great many in

LAWS PASSED BY LEGISLAT-
URE ARE NOW IN EFFECT
General Session Laws not Carrying
Emergency Clauses Are
Now Effective.

There became effective in this state
last Saturday the general session
laws passed by the last, or 18th Ida
ho legislature, other than those acts
which carried an emergency clause
and became effective from and after
their approval. There was a total
of 624 bills introduced in the two
branches of the legislature, of which
number 231 were passed and sent to
the governor who disapproved SO Of
them, leaving standing 167 new laws.
Numerous laws are amended; others
are repealed. Included in the last of
laws effective are a number of i'm
portant acts. The most important
measure, however, that was passed
declares Idaho prohibition territory
or district and does not become eff
fective until on and after Jan. l,
1916.
The new local option law which
passed the legislature as senate bill
No. SO is probably the strictest of its
kind on the statute books of any state
in the union. 1t is believed it will
absolutely prohibit bootlegging or
the illegal sale or use of intoxicating
liquors in counties which are now op-
Grating under the local option laws
and where they have had violations,
while its term will apply to the state
as whole when the statewide prohi-
bition act goes into force and effect.
The Iowa abatement act, which it
is expected will make the bawdy
house and dens of ill-repute thing
of the past in this state, also becomes
effective today. The new law is fill |
ed with teeth" This law coins the
expression, moral nuisance" as those

are indecent or offensive or the |

MOST BEAUTIFUL SPOT
Richfield Park Makes Great
Showing In Three Years

Three years ago the block where
tower is located was an uneven sage
brush covered plot of ground and at
that time it did not look as though
there would ever be anything else
on that block, but a visit to that place
today will show wonderful change.
You will now find block of nice
level ground with beautiful shade
trees all around and across it and one
of the incest lawns in all Idaho.
Three years ago the business men
of Richfield, practically the same
men who are here today, turned out
one evening after supper and set out
the shade trees that are today the
pride of the town and those trees
were set out in hurry and practical
ly every tree that was set out, except
a few locuts, has lived and thrived,
making a growth that is marvellous.
The trees have been kept trimmed
back, until the body of the tree is
now as sturdy as the water tower
which stands in the center of the
block
The lawn was seeded by Marshal
Poteet and has been nursed and car
ed for at all times as carefully as a
child and now there is not a more
beautiful spot in the entire town, or
for that matter in the entire county,
than this same plot of ground
Underneath the water tower a
band stand has been erected where
the famous Richfield band, only two
years old, holds concerts during the
summer months for the amusement |
of the citizens.
For this beautiful park the people |
of Richfield are in a great measure |
indebted to Marshal Potet, as he has
always been on the job, and when a
small place showed up that there was
no grass on, Mr.. Poteet was there
and sowed that spot If tree show
ed signs of weakness, he was there to
give it better care and no matter how
hot the day, he always attended to
it that the lawn and the trees of the
Richfield Park were cared for.
1t is a beautiful park and every
citizen of Richfield is proud of 1t, and
Mr.. Poteet should have the thanks of
the entire community for his untir-
ing efforts in making the park what
it Is, as not another person has had
anything to do with 1t since the trees
were set out.
Then we have the beautiful trees
along both sides of the street that
were set out two years ago. They,
too, have made wonderful growth
and add greatly to the beauty of the {
town.

by his oath of the secretary of state
as though no action had been taken
by the governor. No mention is made
of the fact the governor had vetoed
the item or items in part and APPROX
ed them in part. All other acts where
the governor approved or the ap-
preparations were vetoed in toto con-
tain after them the statement they
were approved on certain date. The
attorney general held that the gov
ernor was not vested with constitu-
tional authority to veto an appropri-
alton In part and where this was at
tempted the appropriation stands as
though approved in full This is true
in the $4,000 appropriation made
for the King Hill project which the
governor only approved half of that
sum and In the appropriation made
for the Gem irrigation district. In
department appropriations where the
governor attempted to scale and re-
duce, the acts carry the full appro-
priations, but where any item was
vetoed In full the secretary of state
dropped 1t in its entirety.
1t is now believed that because of
this action In SO publishing the ses-
sion laws of 1915 there will be con-
siderable confusion and it will re-
quire test case in the courts to de-
termine whether the governors ac-
ton will stand on the appropriat tions
or the opinion OF the attorney gem
eral on whose advice the secretary Of
state acted. Capital News.

In addition there were a number
of important emergency laws passed
and approved which have been in ope-
ration since adjournment of the leg
islature or on and after their pas
sage. The legislature also re-created
the state highway commission and
created minimum wage scale COM
mission to investigate wages paid
minors and women which has organ
lied and started work as we'll as a
commission to codify the irrigation
and drainage laws which has also
been appointed The only new de-
partment created was that of farm
markets, while the tax commission
was abolished.
The session laws of 1915 have been
issued in bound form by Secretary of
State George R. Barker, due to the
fact that the governor vetoed 63 of
the bills passed, including large
number of pork barrel" measures,
the bound form of the session laws
presents smaller appearance. The
volume contains 496 pages, laws, in
dex and all. The session laws of
1913 contained 7O3 pages.

toto or in part number of appropri-
alton bills. Those vetoed in part,
that is, where the appropriation or
appropriations were reduced, stand
