HANSEN NOTES

The Washington highway is begin
ming to do justice to the name as the
concrete work on bridges and cul-
verts' is about finished, there being
only about seven or eight miles more
to do, the grading is also under way
and the roads are getting in fine shape
between Murtaugh and Hansen since
the rain. All bridges are now square
across the road and the approach of
each leveled up so that when the
roads are packed again they will equal
any of the graded roads in the West.
j. S. Kincaid and C. S. Green, who
represent the Mountain States Tele-
graph and Telephone company, were
in town Monday transacting business
with the Valley Telephone company.
Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Hansen left
Wednesday morning for Chicago and
other points in the East. Mr.. Hansen
will consult the best specialists in
regard to his eyes, which are constant
ly growing weaker. We hope that he
will find relief and have pleasant
visit
Hansen was somewhat depopulated
Wednesday on account of the circus
at Twin Falls, some of the visitors
said that it was very dry affair only
for the rain which leaked through
the tent.
Gus Frohlich is having bad luck
with his new auto, King "S". He
has not been seen on the road with it
since he brought it home The agent
he said forgot to give him a crank for
it. He notified the company of this
fact last week and received commun-
ication yesterday stating that it was a
|self-starter.
Jno. f. Hansen, of Rock Creek, ar
rived from an extended stay at Hot
Lake, Oregon, where he has been TAX
ing treatments for rheumatism. We
are sorry to hear that he was not
benefited much by the trip.
Mrs A. ID. P. Keith and her daugh-
ter, Mrs. H. s. Beals, departed last
Wednesday for Pullman, Washington,
telegram called Mrs. Keith to her
mother, who is very i'll and is not ex-
pected to recover.
Next Sunday Murtaugh is going to
send their ball team to Hansen to see
if they can recover the belt which
they lost several weeks ago at the
hands of our boys. Rock Creek lost to
Hansen at Rock Creek last Sunday,
the score being Is to 4. A week from
next Sunday Filler and Hansen will
clash at Hansen. Lyman Sutmiiler
was in Filler Monday and made ar
rangements for the game. Every is
expected to root" as Filler has a good
team and good lively fight is ex-
pected.

new HOMESTEAD LAW
Interpretation OF Enlarged Homestead
Act Given Cong. Smith.

Congressman Smith has been fur
nlshed by the commissioner of the
general land Office with a copy of the
regulations governing the administra-
ton OF the law giving preference right
to prospective enjoyment under the
Enlarged Homestead law, which was
introduced by Mr.. Smith. This law
makes 1t possible for prospective en-
trymen under the Enlarged Homestead
Act in advance of designation, to
secure preference right to enter the
lands should they finally be deternni-
ed to he non-irrigable, by filing a
formal application at the local land
office.
| If the land which is desired should
be designated, in order that entry may
be made, either original or additional,
the preference right to file is secur-
ed. Petitions which have heretofore
been filed for the designation of land
under the Enlarged Homestead Act do
not give the preference right des-
cribed, and a new application, accom-
panied by the fees and commissions
must be filed in the local land office,
in order to secure this preference
right. This application will be sus-
pended pending an examination of the
land, and the affidavit regarding the
character of the land will be forward
ed through the general land Office to
the geological survey for considera-
ton. Notification of the action taken
will then be sent through the local
land office, and if the land is designat-
ed the application to enter the land
will be confirmed; otherwise the fill
ing fee will be returned to the appli-
cant.
This new law will be of the greatest
benefit to prospective entrymen and
insure them the land which they have
selected if it is designated as being
of the character required under the
Enlarged Homestead Law. Under the
old law the land was thrown open to
general entry and the petitioner for the
designation of the land was never GER
tain that he would secure the land,
which he had selected.
Mr.. Smith has also been furnished
by the general land Office with a copy
of the regulations governing the new
law for the relief of desert entrymen
which he has advocated the past two
years. Under these provisions thous-
, ands of desert entrymen throughout
the arid land states, who have been
unable to secure water to irrigate the
. lands, will be able to secure title by
residing on the land or by cultivation
by the dry farm method for three years
and the payment of $1.25 per acre tc
the government. Only one-sixteenth
of the land must be cultivated the sec,
ond year, and one-eighth the third
year. There must be permanent i'm
provements on the land amounting tt
, $125 per acre. There were thousands
= of entries which would have been can
> celled because of failure to secure wa
ter, had not this law been enacted
The time within which to offer fina
: proof having expired.

A STRONG ATTRACTION
What the Schumann Quintet is Doing
on the Chautauqua Circuit.

If there is any organization that can
come back it is the Schumann quin-
tet, sterling organization of five ar
lists. with Carl Lampert, for nine
years first violin in the Theodore Tho
mas orchestra. as leader, is one of the
all-star attractions on the local chau-
tauqua course this season. Their idea
in presenting symphonic concerts"
with five people is new, but has been
highly successful. This is brought
about by carrying specially built
reed organ which produces unique and
surprising effects in adding the reed
and wind instrument qualities that
harmonic with the other instruments
used.
Then Mr.. Lampert has a way of
telling what can be heard in the clas-
steal selection they are about to play
which allows his hearers, though they
may consider themselves lacking in
musical appreciation, to understand a
heavy composition and to watch for
the things he tells them the composer
put into it, and he wins their hearts
at once.
In presenting a musical program of
the time of Louis XIV, they appear in
powdered wigs and with every atten-
ton to costume to harmonic. The
music Of Norway and the countries of
the north is given and costumes of
these countries are worn
No musical organization is doing
more to really educate the people to
like the best music and the best of it
is that people are finding the educa-
ton enjoyable.

Commission Abolished.

Now Secretary Lane has abolished
the reclamation commission, it hav-
ing accomplished its purpose and the
next official to go is Arthur p. Davis,
Newells chief lieutenant, who sue
ceeded him as director The secre-
tary regards Mr. Davis as much
more efficient man than Newell but
finds him so impregnated with many
of the Newell ideas that he wants him
out of the service also. Mr., Davis
formerly was chief engineer of the
service. When Newell left he be-
came director and chief engineer, but
recently Mr.. Williamson was made
"chief of construction" and Mr.. Davis
now is merely director, and, like
Newell, robed of most of his author
ity. Thus is another nominal head of
the service made subordinate to a
man in lower position, and thus is
Mr. Davis expected to gradually elm
mate himself
With Newell and Davis are going
many of the higher salaried engin-
neers of the service, the supervising
engineers who had large jurisdiction
in the field. These men also were
loyal to Newell, but they are to be dis
pensed with on the ground of econo-
my.
When the plan is worked out in
its entirety Elwood Mead will have
completed his work as head of the
board of review; the work of reap
praising and reassessing will have
been completed; Mr.. Davis will no
longer be willing to act as subordinate
to an official under him, and when
the vacancy occurs Elwood Mead will
be appointed.

Paving the Way.

Secretary Lane is not the authority
for this prediction for Secretary Lane
is not prone to discuss his plans for
the future. But it is noted with in
terest that Secretary Lane is gradu-
ally wedding out the reclamation
service, the officials formerly in con-
troll and is gradually fixing up an en-
tirely new slate. Today Chief of Con-
struction Sydney Williamson, in
charge of the new western office at
Denver, is the big man in the service,
but Mr.. Williamson in time will play
second fiddle to Elwood Mead
Looking back about two years it is
recalled that Secretary Lane made up
his mind to get rid of Director F., H.
Newell, who had been at the head of
the reclamation service since its or
ganization. He did not deliberately
"fire" Mr.. Newell instead he created
the reclamation commission, leaving
Mr. Newell as nominal director, but
the duties of the directorate were
largely given to other commissioners
and Mr., Newell found himself robbed
of all authority; in fact, he found
himself subordinate to the new
men, and his position eventually be.
came uncomfortable. When he could nc
longer retain his dignity and his of
flee, he have up his office.

MEAD FOR RECLAMATION
Belief In WASHINGTON That Noted En-
gineer Will be Given Place.

Washington - Based upon strong
circumstantial evidence, the predic
ton is made that Elwood Mead OF
Wyoming, one of the best known
American authorities on irrigation,
and for the past ten years in charge
of government irrigation work n
Australia, is to be placed at the head
of the United States reclamation SER
vice. This change will not be maua
Immediately but will be worked ont
gradually by Secretary Lane, whose
Italian hand is seen in the recent re-
organization of the reclamation SER
vice.
Mr.. Mead, at the instance largely
of Secretary lane, has given up his
lucrative position in Australia and is
on his way back to the United States
ostensibly to resume a chair of en-
gineering at the University of Califor-
mia. But when he gets back Mr.
Mead will Immediately head the new
| board of review of the reclamation
service, which is to re-value and re-
assess the lands of government irri-
cation projects in this country, d
task that will consume many months
and when that work is completed, OF
soon thereafter, Mr.. Mead is expected
to become director of the reclama
ton service
