standard gage railroad In the United

feet of water will be impounded be-
hind the dam In a mountain reser-
voir 1S miles long.
Above Arrowrock dam in the basin

that there is 5000. 100000 feet OF
merchantable timber. Sawed into

Displays Wanted.

AT recent meeting of the Com
mercial Club, the question of making
a display of North Side products at
the San Francisco Exposition was dis
cussed, and committee consisting
OF o. F. Henning, ]. A. Armstrong
look after the arranging of suitable
display from this tract. To this end
the committee respectfully request
those having any fruit, potatoes of
threshed grain for exhibition that the
same be left with any member of the
committee when 1t will be properly
prepared and sent to the Exposition.
1t would seem that with the abund-
ance of fruit and other products on
the tract this season that very cred
table display could be arranged,
vertisement for this section, 1t be-
comes the duty of all our settlers to
cooperate with the committee In
the preparation of such an exhibit.
1t is desired that these specimens be
placed in the hands of the committee
as soon as possible as the time is
slipping by. II you have anything
worthy of exhibit, see some member
of the committee at once.
Relative to the shipment Of fruit
for exhibition purposes. the States
man of Tuesday says: Executive
Commissioner Czizek returned to the
Exposition Monday after a hurried
trip to the southeast in search OF
fruits for Idaho Day. Mr.. Czizek has
arranged to have all the fruits as
sembled at Payette and shipped in a
carload lot either Sept. 15 or II
This car is to contain some specially
choice fruit for exhibit purposes and
also a large quantity of fruit to be
given away on Idaho day.
1t will thus be seen that there i:
no time to lose in getting these ex
hibits together.

Minidoka County Fair.

We are in receipt of the announce
County Fair, which will be held at
Rupert on Sept. %, 29 and go The
management are sparing no pains to
make this first annual event a COM
plete success and to this end are
bending all their energy in preparing
an inviting premium list and arrang-
ing for series of amusement that
will please all who attend. In their
announcement the Board of Directors
say:
THE object of the fair is not to
make money but primarily to educate
and entertain. To this end, or with
this in view, we have appropriated
the best plans and ideas from score
or more of successful fairs, and have
arranged a program which we believe
can not fail to interest and attract,
not only every resident of the county.
but many from adjoining counties,
and also the stream of Frisco Fair
visitors who may stop over to visit
US"
1t is thought a special train will
, be provided over the Short Line
branch which will give the people OF
this section an opportunity to go
down to Rupert in the morning and
return in the evening.

course, to interfere with the main OBJ
ject of the dam-the impounding of
the 244,0 acre-feet of water de-
manded for the irrigation of 240,0
acres of rich soil in the Boise valley.
But as the dam backs the water for
distance of Is miles, converting the
river channel into reservoir, and in
cluding both branches of the stream,
ii provides means for the driving
'of logs. 1t was early agreed that
some scheme must be devised for lift
ing them over the dam.
Under the direct supervision of
Engineer Charles II. Paul his assist
ant, Walter r. Young, designed an
equipment based on principles used
where scientific logging is done. This
has a maximum capacity of 60,000.-
900 feet for the period of 60 days in
summer when the water in the reser-
voir is within As feet or less of the
| top OF the dam At this rate 1t is
estimated that it will take so years
to lift over the entire 3,00O,000,0O
feet.
BY this equipment located at the
extreme southern end of the dam,
logs of any size or length will be TAX
en- out of the reservoir by means of
cable lift and deposited on the con-
crete deck on the top OF the dam.
From this deck they will be fed by
a stop and loader to power-driven
spiked rolls one at a time, the speed
under the control of the operator
These rolls will carry the logs across
the dam and turn them over to a bull
chain with spurs or teeth TO prevent
sliding. The chain will take them
down a 6212 per cent slope at a
speed of S5 feet a minute and dis
charge them into a gravity chute
through which they will slide into
the river below.
AS this structure must withstand
built of the best of concrete ant
steel. 1t is unique in government
construction. Power for its opera
tion is now developed by the govern
J ment at the diversion dam II mile

A New Organization.

A meeting Of some of the settlers
on the tract among which were some
of our most heavy property owners,
was held at Eagles Hall ON Thurs
day evening last at which time it was
proposed to form an organization to
be known as the North Side Settlers
Protective Association, its object be-
ing TO cooperate with the bond hold
ers committee In bringing about an
early completion of the project, and
to look after matters in general that
were of interest to the settlers.
At this meeting officers were elect
ed as follows:
President, E. V. Cook.
Vice-President, A w. Atwood.
Secy-Treas., Albert Hawkinson.
A committee was appointed to
draft a set of bylaws for the guild
ance of the association, after which
an adjournment was taken to Satur-
day afternoon. At this time another
meeting was held at the same place
at which time the bylaws were ad-
opted and other business transacted.
The bylaws call for board of seven
directors to be elected by the resi-
dents of the various districts that
have been defined, upon whose shoul-
ders will rest the management of the
association.
We are requested to announce that
all settlers interested in the welfare
OF the tract and who are owners OF
shares OF stock in the North Side Ca
nal Co. are respectfully invited to
join this association.

The Convicts Enjoy the Work.

A Twin Falls dispatch to the Idaho
Statesman says:
considerable interest is shown in
this community in the convicts' camp
at Shoshone Falls and in the work he
ing done by the convicts on the grade
roads. Twenty are encamped there
at present and SO or more will be ad
ded to the force soon. ]. w. Wheeler
of Shoshone is in charge of the men
and the work. The grade on the
north side of the river is being i'm
proved and the steep pitch at the top
is being cut down to a much lower
per cent.
The men are being worked on easy
shifts until they become accustomed
to the labor. Their camp, consisting
of a large bunk tent, a mess tent,
cook tent and one or two others, is
pitched at the foot of the grade near
spring. The convicts are not under
guard and when not at work are CIV
en- free use of the row boats on the
river They appear to greatly enjoy
not only the boating but their daily
plunge in Snake river. They often
express to visitors their appreciation
at being allowed to work out their
sentences in the out-of-doors and
their great respect for Mr.. Wheeler
They make special effort TO please
him and frequently remark: "Wel
stand by Mr.. Wheeler to the las
ditch" There has been no effor
made or inclination shown on thu
part of the convicts to forfeit the con
fidence and trust of Mr.. Wheeler ant
they are taking hold of the work wit
much interest"
That their appearance on the grad
might not attract so much attention
from the many overland tourists tha
traverse his route, the regulation
stripes have been done away with an

workmen In their overalls an

The Premium Yield.

John Rigney. who is residing on
the Hogshire place, 2 miles south OF
town. has had a field of wheat that
has commanded the attention OF
those interested during the past sea-
son and guesses have frequently been
made as to the quantity of grain 1t
would yield. This particular field
was threshed out this week and the
machine measure showed an average
of so bushels per acre. This Is the
best report that has as yet been re-
ceived. This wheat was grown on
land that was in potatoes last year
and which the previous three years
had been In alfalfa. The result SIM
ply shows what can be expected when
the ground has been properly pre-
pared for grain crops.

H. NJ. Schilling, who has been Pro-
ject Manager of the Minidoka tract
for the past two years, has rendered
his resignation to take effect as soon
as his successor is appointed. Mr.
Schilling has found that 1t is no plea
SAINT task to be even manager of a
government irrigation project, as diff
flculties are Just as likely to arise
between the settlers and the govern
ment on these projects as they are
on Carey act projects.

$500 Per Year
jerome Fair and Field Day.
Arrangements have progressed

Arrangements have progressed far
enough that 1t gives US pleasure to
state that the Jerome Fair and Field
Day is an assured fact and the dates
will remain the same as stated last
week, Friday and Saturday, Oct. 1st
and End.
At meeting of the general COM
mittee held on Tuesday evening the
report of the finance committee was
presented which showed that suf-
ficient funds had been raised to war
rant the committee going ahead with
the arrangements, as it is thought
that the amount already pledged will
be increased somewhat.
The program committee are now
at work arranging the premium list,
and looking up some desirable at
fractions, and 1t is likely that next
week we will be able to give more
details of the event. In the mean
time, however, let all keep the dates
in mind, and be prepared to arrange
TO make some exhibit on those days.
No entrance fees will be charged, and
in fact 1t is the intention that every
thing will be free on those days, and
general invitation is extended to
everybody to come to Jerome and
spend two days of enjoyment with US.

THE PASSING OF NED JENNEss.

AT meeting OF the State Land
Board held last week, Register N.
Jenness who has held the position
for several years through a political
pull, was called before the board and
asked TO resign, which he most fatty
refused to do. whereupon the board
at once declared the Office vacant.
Speaking Of his removal by the
board, the Capital News says:
The announcement that Ned Jen-
ness, register of the land board had
refused to resign when given the op-
portunity to do so yesterday and the
summary action of the board, declar-
ing the position of register vacant on
and after Saturday of this week, ere
ated a stir In political circles and
furnished food for gossip among lead
ers of both parties. While it has
been given out that the step was TAX
en- for the sake of economy, many
men prominent In both parties be-
lieve that the reasons are deeper
than that. One advanced is that the
board desired to answer the charge
repeatedly published in many parts
of the state that the reason the reg
lister was not removed was because he
knew too much Just what this re-
ferred to is not known. The removal
OF the register seems to be the
boards answer to that allegation.
1t was learned on excellent author
ity that the board originally did not
intend to give Jenness opportunity to
TO resign but instead had decided to
close the incident by declaring the
Office vacant on and after the date
named. One OF the board members,
however. thought that it would be
made easier for the register II he was
called before 1t and given chance
to resign. The board adopted the
suggestion and called in the register
The matter was put up to him and he
promptly declined to resign.
1t is now given out that the board
contemplates an entire reorganiza-
tion OF the land department. with the
object in view of reducing the expens.
es connected with the management
OF the same. and in the meantime the
board is obtaining information as to
prevailing conditions throughout the
department to ascertain how many
people are employed, what they do
how many hours they work and wha
salary they receive. Acting Governo
Taylor. who is presiding over th'
board during the absence OF Govern
or Alexander, states that "the boar'
has decided on the new organization
and II is my belief that since on
move has already been made, Their
should be no delaying in getting tn
reorganization completed. 1t ma.
be found that more people are EN-
ployed in the department than tn
work requires. If that is so, ever
= day lost now means putting the stat
to that much unnecessary expense.

Two engineers of the federal recla-
nation service were detailed by Sec
retary Lane to survey Black Canyon
lands. in the Payette-Boise valley,
Idaho. and report upon the feasibil-
ity of an irrigation project there.
Counsel for 1000 settlers on 10000
acres OF land in the Black Canyon
asked for the survey. The settlers,
many of whom went to the valley be-
lieving the lands would be reclaimed
under a project since abandoned by
the reclamation service, hope to have
congress appropriate for an irrigation
system.
