Summary of Election Results

The dropping of the majority
against woman suffrage in Pennsyl-
vania to approximately fifty thousand
and the failure of the Progressives to
poll enough votes in the Massa-
chusetts gubernatorial race to main
tain their legal standing as politi-
cal party, are the outstanding fea-
lures of the latest returns from Tues
days state elections in the east.
Throughout Wednesday the major
ity against suffrage in Pennsylvania,
hundred thousand, decreased. This,
with the additional news that 25 out
of 81 counties in the state had carried
for suffrage gave its supporters
great encouragement.
The Massachusetts, Progressives
polled only a few more than seven
thousand votes, about one-third as
many as the Prohibibitionists. The
majority of Samuel w. Mccall, Re-
publican, over his Democratic oppon-
ent, David l. Walsh, in the race for
the governorship, was 6606.
Maryland returns continued to in
dictate that Emerson C. Harrington,
Democrat, had defeated Ovington A.
Weller, Republican. Harrington's
majority probably will be between
three thousand and thirty-five hun
dred.
Suffrage was beaten in New York
by more than 175,000 and the re-
vised constitution by more than 450,
900. Republicans elected 9S of the
$50 state assemblymen.
General legislative gains were re-
corded in New Jersey by the Republi
cans.

Sheepmen Buying Hay

The two big sheepmen of this sec
ton, Andy Little and the VanDeusens,
are buying vast quantities of hay
with which to feed their sheep this
winter. Mr. Little has purchased
over 1000 tons on the bench alone,
and the VanDeusens have bought
as much or more. They are pay
ing from $3.50 to 81 per ton.
Among the big sellers of hay is
the Craig brothers ranch. They re-
ceived this week from the VanDeusen
brothers a check for s1249, all for
hay. Previously they had sold $500
worth and have go tons left. This
ranch this year has sold $1,000 worth
of hogs, $500 worth of horses, and
enought other stuff to bring the total
to $4,000. There is nothing the matter
with the bench if industry and diver
siied farming is practiced.

Decision for the Settlers

In a decision handed down in the
federal court by Judge Dietrich the
Twin Falls Salmon River Land &
Water company was denied Il new
trial n one of the largest irrigation
suits ever brought in Idaho and in
volved more than $4,000 acres Of land
owned by settlers whose rights to
sufficient water were involved. The
plaintiff, A. E. Caldwell and the set
tiers of the defendant company's pro-
ject, brought an action to compel
specific performance of terms of con-
tract upon which the lands and water
in this Carey act project was sold.
The settlers alleged that they were
not furnished sufficient water or as
much water as the terms of their con-
tract of purchase called for and that
they were thereby greatly damaged.
JudgeDietrich held for the settlers
and also held that the company had
sold more water than it had and also
held that the company be restrained
from disposing of any. more water to
other purchasers.

Dance Hall Burns

The dance hall located on the
Burcham ranch in the Dave Martin
and VanDeusen neighborhood, was
completely destroyed by fire Friday
night. The origin of the fire is un-
known. A dance was held at the
hall that night, and the supposition
is that a cigarette or cigar thrown
in the grass before being extin-
guished caused the blaze. The build

GRASS SEEDS
VALUABLE
Idaho Orchard Co. Will Receive
$4,000 from 80 Acres of Clover

From all over the state come re-
ports of big returns to farmers from
the sale of clover and alfalfa seeds.
/. F. Flagler, who was at his ranch
near Wendell Sunday, says the farm
ers on the Twin Falls tract will re-
ceive this season 1 u million dollars
for grass seed. White clover seed
is giving returns of $500 per acre.
Two farmers worked two months
gathering seed from the sweet clover
growing wild along the North Side
canal banks and sold it for $500.
Here at home, the Idaho Orchard
company will receive $4,000 from the
clover seed produced between the
trees on so acres of orchard, accord
ing to George Johnson of the En-
NETT Feed Mills, who has contracted
for the crop. Pointing to % sacks of
the seed, Mr.. Johnson asked the
writer to guess what it was worth.
We ventured $3.50, and thought that
was twice too much. Close to $500,
he said. The sacks weigh 1S0 pounds
and the price is 151a cents per pound
Figure it out for yourself. The Or
chard company will have at the least
calculation $50 sacks, worth s36S5,
and Mr.. Johnson says the estimate is
too low.

negotiations will be closed until the
Eastern association formally an
nounces that it will start the season
