MEMORIAL DAY.

Ger valley, hill and plain
Carpets of green again are seen
The babbhng brooklets play.
Nature puts on her diamonds
For this Memorial Day.
Again in memory we see
The hosts of Gray and Blue
In conflict on the battle field
Or marching in review;
We hear the thunder Of the guns
And Southern battle cry
Bayonets CLEAN in silver stream
And blCods.aincd banners fly,
We see them storm the rampar,s
In rain of shot and shell,
And plant their colors on the crest
OF many a fortress bill.
In the volleyed thundera OF ccmba.
Hear the dying comradc say;
Take a message to my sweetheart
And mother dear | pray.
Here's their pictures l have carried
Through battles aft before
have kissed Them Oh so often
But shall never sec them more
Till we meet beyond the river
In home Of peace and light
Hank ! hear the shouts of victory
Thank God We've fon the fight
The robin sings above the grave
Of the unknown soldier dead,
Where stands a pine tree sentinel
To guard his lonely bed;
The wild winds chant his requiem
The daies bseioolobamve
The daisies bloom above.
Sweetly he rests beneath the wings
Softly well tread in the city
OF Gods eternal love.
Somebody's darling slumbers here
Marshalled in chambers of clay
Somebody wept when he marched
away.
Murmur a prayer soft and low
Sing of his conflicts DER.
Tell how he fought for the dear old
flag
TO wave forever more.
Time heals the wounded passions
OF nations soon OF late.
The wrongs and crushed ambitions
Written nthe book of fate;
The North and South like lovers
Their own way to obtain,
Get Jealous and then quarreled
Then kissed and loved again.
Columbia mourns her fallen sons
Whether on land or sea,
All who stood behind the guns
In the Armies of Grant and Lee;
We march today with baner and SONG
And flowers to cover the dead
And offer mense of love and praise
And prayer with the tears we shed
No thine Americans forgets
The glad immortal hour
When the tea party in Boston
Defied old England's power;
Again on Eouthern battle fields
More patriotic blood
Cemented stronger still the ties
OF State and Brotherhood.
in Gods great tragedy of war
To some the Unions life,
All honor to the brave who fell
In fratriedal strife;
The North and South united, free,
No power on earth can sever,
But Brothers may be Brothers sill
With stars and stripes forever.
In, prophecy / see the time
Perhaps IL may be near,
Whe min unity and Brotherhood
All the Western Hemisphere
Shall celebrate Memorial Day,
When warfgare had to cease
And tn eeCrman Kaiser GLADLY hailed
A universal peace.
| pray thee my own COLUMBIA
In all thy glory and pride
Forget not the first battalions
Gone down in the crimson tide.
For the heroes of Bunker Hill
Tennessee and Boston Gay.
Give praise to the Cod OF battles
On every Memorial Day.
When Gabricls bugle soundeth
For a judgment day review,
And a roll call of all nations
For heavens tried and true;
To all who fought and suffered
May the great commander say
Fall in yc faithful unto death
For a blcst Memorial Day.

IRELAND WARNS AGAINST
HOG CHOLERA
EPIzOOTIC

The hog cholera situation begins to
look serious. Within the past two
weeks, two separate and severe out
breaks have been found in the Green
leaf bench, two at Roswell and three
near Nampa The disease in all of
these outbreaks have been SO widely
separated, it is evident that a serious
epizootic of the disease is likely to
occur
1t is unfortunate that some of the
cases above mentioned have not been
promptly reported so that the infect
ed farms might be placed under quar-
antine and measures taken to stamp
out the infection Farmers are urged
to watch for any indications Of the
disease among their hogs and to re
port to this Office, to the County Agri-
culturist at Caldwell, the State veterin-
airy department at Boise. or to any of
the deputy veterinarian inspectors, at
the first suspicious indication of trou-
BILE. Unless cases of cholera are dag
nosed promptly on their appearance,
the disease may spread not only
through the herd in which the infec-
ton has appeared, but to neighboring
herds, thus threatening the swim OF
an entire community.
!
lection of neighboring herds and is
not intended to work any hardship
upon the man whose stock is Quaran-
tined. A quarantine notice is simply
for the purpose of warning neighbors
that the farm upon which the notice is
posted is infected and should be avoid
ed. Sanitary precaution in the way o.
occasional disinfection of pens, feed
ing floors, ETC., the use of clean feeC
and water. the destruction of lice anC
intestinal worms and the disposal o
dead animals by burning or buryint
deeply, is very important and will e
far toward the prevention of cholera
but will not make any herd immune t.
the disease.
Excessive use of so-called choleri
remedies is to be avoided. since the.
will not confer any immunity agains
cholera Individual effort will neve
be sufficient to eradicate or even con
troll hog cholera Cooperation i
strongly urged among hog growers
since by no other means will the dis
ease ever be wiped out.
Vaccination of hogs for choler;
when properly done with patent ser
/ UNI. is of undoubted value. This wor
/ will be done through this Office or tn
Office of the county agriculturist with
out any expense to the farmer othe
+ than for the actual cost of the materi;
used. Meetings for the discussion {
hog cholera and means of its contrc
} are recommended. The undersigned

Idaho's New Railroad.


Railroad construction is not OF COM
mon happening in these good old
Democratic times yet a new railroad
has just been completed in Idaho. 1t
is the Intermountain Railway and is Is
miles in length. 1t starts at the mouth
of More creek where the road will
form a junction with the reclamation
road. Its course it then up More and
Grimes creeks to within miles of
CenteSville. to which point it will be
extended during the summer. 1t has
been built by the Barber Lumber Co.,
and gives the Boise Basin a railroad.
1t will open up the timber industry of
the Boise Basin, the logs being turn
ed into the manufactured product at
the Barber Mill, six miles above
Boise.
The opening of the road was cele-
brated last Saturday by an excursion
over the line. About 100 business and
professional men of Boise accompan-
led General Manager Barton over the
new road. While it is not a very long
railroad, it is of much relative import
lance when it is taken into considera-
ton that there was hardly any rail
road construction in the United States
in the past twelve months. The new
road means much to Boise and vicinity
because of the big industry that il
will establish and. incidentally, il
ought to benefit all southern Idaho
because the establishment of a great
lumber manufacturing plant in the
Boise Valley ought to make lumber
cheaper all over the southern part oi
the state. Especially is this true
in relation to the lower grades OF lum'
Der. The great problem with lumber
manufacturers in the west is how
to dispose of their inferior grades, II
costs Just as much to ship the poorer
grades, per thousand feet. as it does
the best lumber that they turn out, sc
that the freight charges makes th'
shipment of the poorer grades prohl
bitivc, and the lumberman finds hi
profit tied up in his yards in grades
of lumber that he can not sell, There
will be a ready market for such grade:
in southern Idaho, because II can b'
used on the farm where it can be util
lied TO advantage in place of the high
err priced product that the farmer il
now compelled to buy. In many way
the building of the Intern ountair
Railway should be an advantage to al
southern Idaho. Former Governo
Haines, in speaking of the project
after viewing it said:
~ am proud to have been a membe
of the State Land Board that made tn
contract with the Barber Lumber Co
which has brought about the building
OF this railroad, and the opening up o
great lumber industry in Southern
Idaho. 1t is most gratifying to me I,
see what has been accomplished. w

tract, but there will be no criticism to
day, nothing but commentator.

The monthly meeting of the Com
mercial club proved interesting
though the attendance was small.
County Commissioner Adams was
present and participated in the dis
cusslon OF good roads leading into
Caldwell. lie stated that the board
would INK the road past the slaughter
house and also the road travelled by
teams from the Nampa Ferry. The
slaughter house road was unsuited for
the travel OF heavy teams, Mr.. Adams
declared, the character of the soil
allowing the road to be cut by the
heavily loaded wagons.
Special Road Levies.
Mr. Adams spoke of the value of
special road levles in the various dis
tricts. 1t was the experience of the
commissioners that after district had
signed for a special levy it was easy
to get the second levy the following
year. The law limits the special levy
to ~ mills, which money must be
used within the district.
Secretary Gibbons read letter from
the Liberty Bell committee in Phila-
delphia in which it was intimated that
the good citizens might view the relic
en- route.
I1OR
County Expert Mccall spoke to the
members regarding the hog cholera
situation. He was surprised that so
many of the farmers utterly failed to
realize how serious the situation could
easily become without proper precau-
tons. Several of the cases that had
come under his attention lately were
two weeks old before the department
had been notified.
Asst, State Veterinarian Irwin stat
ed that hereafter he intends to enforce
the law rigidly. and any cases of hog
cholera not promptly reported may
occasion a fine of $1,000.
War on the Hoppers.
In some sections grasShoppers are
becoming a pest Mr.. Mccall said that
if the farmers would face the situation
with some show of concerted action
the pest could be easily elimited.
The following formula is one that
has been amply demonstrated:
Is lbs. Bran
Id. Paris Green
2 qts. syrp, or lbs. cheap sungar
3 oranges or lemons.
Dissolve syrup or sugar in water
add orange or lemon juice and grated
pulp of fruit; mix thoroughly with
bran, adding additional water sufi.
cient to dampen bran thoroughly, but
not enough to prevent its being
spread or sown thinly over the sur
face of the ground. Apply very early
in the morning by sowing broadcas
over infested fields. The above guam
tity is eonugh for one acre.
The above formula will not iniur,
the hay in any manner Mr.. Mccall
: together with Mr., Ireland, will expert
ment with an arsenite of soda spray
. for hoppers the latter part of thu
week on the farms of Ralph Hinshav
E and John Pemberton.
: Three New Members.
} Messrs. F. G. Hoffman, c. L. Idle
man and H. F. Smith were duly elect
ed to membership by a unanimou
vote of the club.
:, 1t was tacitly agreed that no fur
ther effort would be made toward
the formation of highway distric
until it was seen what would be tn
course OF action of the present boar
S of county commissioners.

Gooding Comes to Town.

Former Governor Frank R. Good
ing was Boise visitor the other day.
He has lost none of his vigorous use
of the English language by reason Of
his seclusion at his sheep ranches
where he has been giving close atten-
ton to the welfare of his focks He
advocates a new and forceful organ
ization of the party and believes that
a number of individuals who have
interests should step aside gracefully
without having to be told to do so.
Frank says that the party is all right
but that what it needs is man at the
helm who will use the toe of boot free
ly and put ginger" into his work. The
former Governor called to pay his re-
spects to Senator Borah while here
and expressed keen interest in the
welfare of the party.
