TO HELP SETTLER

n Congressman Addison T. Smith has
! been devoting considerable time since
his return to the state at the close of
Congress, to investigating the dry
farming conditions in Southern Idaho,
! and has travelled over five hundred
miles by auto in visiting the various
sections, gathering data with refer
ence to the depth of wells to secure
water for domestic purposes, with a
view of using this information before
congress in support of his bill to re-
quire residence only on dry lands where
water can be obtained for domestic
purposes at depth of fifty feet.
The settlers have appointed Henry
c. Gettert of Twin Falls to assist Con-
gresham Smith liz gathering this in
formation and to take photographs of
the growing crops and Improvements
on the dry land homesteads to be ex-s
hibited by Mr.. Gettert by lantern
slides before the Committee on Public
Lands, House of Representatives
ID. c., when the proposed
measure is taken up for consideration
by the committee when congress con-
venes. 1t has been found that in many
instances the settlers have to haul
water for a long distance. in some
eases as far as ten miles, for domestic /
purposes, and also that frequently 1t |
s kept standing in barrels until it is !
Unfit to drink because of the expense

Mr.. Smith contends that the. settlers
The Richfield recorder. (Richfield, Idaho) 1909-1931, 1915-07-22

l'should be allowed to offer proof of
cultivation as an evidence of good
faith, rather than to be required to
live on the land. Great hardship is
entailed upon the entrymen and their
families by requiring them to live on
the land or run the risk of having
their entry contested. If residence
was not required many men without
capital would be able to get a home
stead and make themselves indepen-
dent, but if they are required to live
upon the land they are deprived of
the opportunity of earning money at
wages and because of their being so
remote from the market, and unable
to raise a garden, often suffer for the
necessaries of life. Mr. Smith argues
that there is no more reason for re-
quiring settlers TO live upon the dry
land than to require them to live on
land when entered under the desert
land law, and will endeayor to secure
the cooperation of the western SEN
ators an members towards securing
the enactment of a law next winter
which will permit entrymen under the
dry land law to live where they please
within the state, as is the case under
the desert land law, but require that
as an evidence of good faith at least
one sixteenth of the land shall be Gull |
tivated the first year. one eighth the
second year and one-fourth the third /
year. aae
There are great quantities of land
in the southern part of Idaho remote
from any source of supply of water for
domestic purposes. which could be
proftably cultivated by the dry farm
method. but unless such a law is pas
sed, as Congressman Smith proposes,
it will continue to be always unpro-
ductive.

PRISONERS TO WORK ROAD

From 25 to 100 convicts will be en-
Y ployed this winter on the Shoshone
grade near Twin Falls. Arrangements
TO that effect were made Wednesday
at the meeting of the state highway
commission. Warden Shook Of the
state penitentiary attended the meet
ing and discussed the plans with the
highway commissioners.
The Shoshone grade is regarded as
the most dangerous piece of state
highway in Idaho over which there
is any considerable traffic. 1t is on
The line of highway north from Twin
rails, and there have been numerous
accidents on it. The convicts win be
put to work cutting down the. grade,
making turnouts and widening the
road at the dangerous places. a.

Chairman Brodhead of the commits
sion said he was informed Lincoln
county would furnish the subsistence
for the convicts and possibly part of
the equipment they will need for the
work. ..ss
Warden Shook said it would be best
to send only about 20 men to the
scene first and then gradually in
crease that number as the camp be-
came established and the men grew
accustomed to the work. The COM
missions plan is to commence work
at once. The warden said he could
spare enough men within a few days
10 start the camp, and would be able !
TO furnish enough within a short time
so that almost a hundred could be put
TO work, He explained that he now |
has a number of them working on the |

work could be done on the grade all |

200 can probably be employed. The
engineer has planned a new
grade for that point, but. accidents on
the old one have been so frequent that
he advised making it safe before start
