HOW TO KEEP A CALF FROM
HAVING HORNS.

Horns were useful to cattle when
they had to fight for their existence,
but domestic cattle do not need them.
Like man carrying weapon, the
creature with horns is likely to be
uppish and contentious. Hence, de-
horning should De the universal rule,
unless the cattle are intended for
show purposes. The time to operate
is when the calf is young, and the
thing to use is caustic potash. Moisten
the end of stick of the caustic and
rub it on the "button which has the
intention of becoming a horn. Clip
off the hair first. Care should be
taken not to put on so much of the
caustic as to cause it to flow off the
button upon the skin. If used prop
erly-and the operation requires no
great skill-no horn will develop.

BIG TRACT OF
LAND FOR RENT

That twenty five thousand acres of
fine farming lands near Blackfoot are
now being offered for rent by the gov
eminent at prices that are below what
men pay for the up-keep of their own
farms is the startling information that
comes to hand this week
For twenty years the government
has been building its system Of canals
to the lands on the reservation south
of town, and getting them ready for
cultivation. For several years the
lands have been in process of allot-
ment to the Indians and now the IN
dian agent is authorized to make five
year leases of the unallotted lands to
white men on the following terms and
conditions:
The lands are plated in twenty acre
tracts and man may lease as many
tracts or units as he wishes. He takes
the land unfenced and in sage brush
but with water right and water flow
ing in the canal. He pays yearly
rental Of $3.50 per acre for the land,
plus his pro rata of the up-keep of
the main canal, which has been from
40 to 60 cents an acre. He gives a
bond of $500 per tract or unit to guar
antee the faithful performance Of his
part of the contract. He retains all
the crops raised during the term of his
lease. He takes credit on his rent
account for all work done as improve
ments on the land. The clearing, pillow.
ing, fencing and building are shown III
a schedule and the expenditure of
money and labor these things is cred
tied on his rent account.
The labor expended for laterals and
for cleaning and repairing the laterals
is credited back to him, so the only
cash rent he pays is that part of the
up-keep assessed for maintenance of
the main canal, and that grows lighter
as the acreage under cultivation in
creases. 1t is our understanding that
he pays no tax on the land nor i'm
provement, for it belongs to the gov
eminent, though he is probably taxed
for his stock and tools. It amounts,
then, to renting a new farm and re.
ceiving employment on the farm suf-
fic.ent to pay all rents and being al
lowed to work yourself all the time;
the results secured constitute the work
account. A rod of fence completed
entities the renter to a credit Of what
it reasonably cost him in money and
labor, and that is listed in the sched-
ule. An acre of ground cleared and
pat under cultivation entities him to
a credit shown by the schedule When
he quits the tract at the end of five
years he must have Is per cent of it in
alfalfa and the rest in good state of
cultivation or crops. Constructs can be
made any day and work begun as soon
as bonds are approved.
Full particulars can be obtained at
the Indian agency at Fort Hall, twelve
miles below Blackfoot ON the Oregon
Short Line.

BIG MINING DEAL.

Harry Hunter, the well known min
ing operator of this city, last week
closed deal with Spokane parties
for Il $75,000.00 lease and bond on his
claims in the upper country. The lease
stipulates that work shall commence
by the first of June and that a liberal
amount shall be expehded each month
in further prospecting the already well
developed properties.
Shafts, tunnels and open cuts on the
property disclose gold ore carrying
sensational values and the work so far
indicates that the deposits are extern
Sive.
The Spokane parties taking the bond
and lease are prominent western min
ing operators and have made thor
ough investigation of the property. If
the work planned by them makes the
expected disclosures 1t is the idea to
install large milling plant and put the
property among the foremost gold pro-
ducing mines in the Gem state.
This is the second move in the past
two years in the mining game that
affects the upper country and one that
bids fair to help revive mining in that
famous gold section--Mackay Miner.

BE A GENTLEMAN

BE gentleman, young men, for it will
pay you golden rate of interest. You
will never get anywhere by returning
surly answers. You might be surprised
to know that if you should meet the
president Of a railroad and ask him a
civil question that you would get a
most courteous reply. Walk into the
biggest concern in any city, says an ex-
change and ask for sne manager. He
will meet you with smile and return
the blandest ansker to your query. 1t is
the ignorant cub in the country depot
or the window washer in big office
who hands back discourteous answers.
The fellows who reach the presidency
Of railroads and the management Of
large concerns do so because they are
gentlemen and always return soft
reply. 1t costs nothing to be gentle
man and besides, you will find that
such a route leads down beside still
waters and up through green valleys.
The churl plows through mud Of serf-
dom and breathes the dust of slavery.
You choose the gentleman or churl.-
Good Citizenship.

COMPLETION OF THE BIG
LOST RIVER PROJECT

w. H. Watts and w. l.. Watts of
the Utah Construction company, own
ers of the Big Lost river irrigation
project, are here to confer with the
state land board with reference to it's
position upon the offer which the
company has made as to its disposal
of the project.
Sometime ago the company, through
W. II. Watts, offered to carry the
work to completion if the settlers
would consent to a decrease in the
amount of water for which their con-
tracts call. Mr.. Watts explained at
the time that the project could be
completed only under these condi-
tions because there was not enough
water available to fill the contracts,
A conference was called at which
representatives of the settlers were
present. There Mr. Watts again pre-
sented his proposition but the settlers
refused to agree. The board appeared
at that time favorably disposed to-
Wdru Ihe company proposal out 1T
was near the end of the year and it
was thought best to allow the matter
to wait upon the action of the new
board. Mr.. Watts, accompanied by
his brother, has now come to urge
his suit again.
We are ready to begin the work
as soon as the board will give us a
suitable contract" he said, "and will
carry it to completion when we once
start. We must be certain we can
go through with it and fill the con-
tracts for we are putting our own
money into the works and since we is
sue no bonds, there is no one but our
selves to suffer the consequences
should we fail.'
In order to understand more clear
ly the situation on this project, the
governor decided to send the state
engineer to prepare report thor
oughly covering the situation. This
investigation will be made next week
and with the report before them the
land board will consider the proposal.
