Readers of some of the state pa
pers will remember only a short time
ago OF noting flaming advertisements
OF Boise institution, the Empire
Home Company. Offering to loan
money at per cent The bait was
an alluring one and there was a
great demand for their literature. 1t
sold loan and investment bonds on
monthly payments, from the pro-
ceedS of which it proposed to loan
money, on which the borrowers were
to pay per cent interest. The COM
pany was capitalized at 100000
and, according 10 its prospectus. ev-
cry dollar received by 1t was placed
I'm the accumulation fund and was
TO be loaned on first mortgage real
estate. The capital stock. after pay
ing the necessary working expens-
es. was to be used for the same pur-
pose.
II is needless to add that they
found purchasers for these invest
ment bonds. but up to date none
have been found who have profited
by them.
Bank Examiner Hit, says the
Caldwell Tribune, after investigating
the affairs of the company last week
ordered them to stop doing business
in Idaho, as the company was not
complying with the state laws. II
is stated that the company sold these
bonds to the amount of $15O,OOO
monthly payments on which have
been kept up. and these purchasers
now stand good opportunity t
loose all they have invested. Cheal
money is like cheap goods. and yo'
should examine carefully before in
vestigating.

Authenticated Yields.

Just as we had gone to press last
morning. D. c. MacWat-
ters handed us the following report
of the yields of grain on the Over
brook Farms for the past season,
which we take PLEASURE in presenting
as we feel that there is no guess
work about these yields, as Mr.. Mac
Waters was careful to have the
grounds all surveyed by a competent
engineer, and the figures given are
the actual returns as taken from the
machine measure at the time OF
threshing:
Defiance wheat. spring sown, on
alfalfa land, yielded ~ bushels per
acre. Ninety pounds of seed was
planted.
Scotch New Market oats returned
IS bushels per acre. This was on
ground that had originally been In
alfalfa but had produced since then
three or four crops of grain. Hereto
fore, the first and second crop from
alfalfa, under more favorable condi-
tions, 1O1 bushels per acre have been
grown at Overlook.
The barley crop returned 50 bush
els per acre on ground of the same
Icharacter as that which grew the oat
crop mentioned above.
Defiance wheat planted the last Of
last September, returned As bushels
per acre. This was on ground that
was originally to alfalfa, later to po-
tatoes and grain, and received light
dressing of manure last fall. The
wheat was pastured last fall and the
sheep pulled some of it, which doubt
less somewhat affected the yield. Mr..
MacWatters believes that under pro-
ed not later than the middle of Sep
tember, will return 55 to 60 bushels
= per acre.
. Marquis wheat, planted on ground
: of the same character as the Def

t There were 100 acres in small

In furtherance of its reorganiZa-
ton policy. the state land board on
rescinded the resolution
passed by ii on June directing the
state treasurer to take over the out
standing sale certificates and leases
from the register of the land de-
partment. The work of checking the
securities of the land department
having been completed, the services
of Wilford l.. Clifford and Robert c.
Huston, the two clerks engaged in
that work, have been dispensed with.
Another clerk in the land depart
ment has been dropped. The changes
result in saving of $3.50 per month
and also dispose of an awkward sit
uation growing out of the custody of
the securities. The saving to the
state effected by the changes made
since the work of reorganizing the
land department was commenced on
September l, amounts to $3.50 per
year. The board also took steps to
compel state mortgagors to pay their
taxes Immediately.
The state treasurer was instructed
to at once notify all land owners
upon whose lands the state hold:
mortgages as security for loans thai
the delinquent taxes on such land:
must be paid and proof of paymen
submitted to the state treasure
within 80 days, otherwise foreclosure
proceedings will ensue.

The work of investigating the
cause for the sinking of the subma-
rine F-4 off the harbor of Honolulu,
has been completed, but no informa-
tion has been given out for publica-
ton. or the 81 men who went down
with this ill-fated craft, only four
bodies have been identified, as all
that was left of the men was mass
of bones, and these were gathered
up and sent to the United States
where they will be inferred in the
National cemetery at Arlington, Va
The remains of the identified ones
we're forwarded to their relatives in
different parts of the the states.

Arguments we're heard by the 81

Arguments were heard by the Su-
preme Court last Friday in the case
of Dolin Collins VS.. the Twin Falls
North Side Land & Water Co.,
which was APPEALED from Gooding
county. The plaintiff asked damages
on the ground that the company had
failed to deliver water on the Twin
Falls North Side project during
1909 and 1910. and had thereby
caused him to lose crops he had
planted on his entry on that project
in those years. Collins was awarded
damages in the sum of S2195 by the
trial court, and the company ap
pealed.

This inventor has found a process
of impregnating terra Gotta bricks
with radium-bearing minerals, and
these small bricks placed In water are
said to give it remarkable curative
properties. The porous bricks last al
most indefinitely. losing only half their
potency, it Is estimated, in 1900 years.
Since the discovery of this mineral II
has been found that many celebrated
waters, as Carlsbad and Baden Baden,
owe their health-giving properties to ra-
dunn. The inventor claims that his
process produces in ordinary waters
the qualities of these famous springs.
The radium, ore used iii the manu-
facture of radioactive terra Gotta

found mainly in Colorado and Utah,
and now producing three-fourths of

the Panama-Pacific International Ex-
position at San Francisco. The struc-
lures In this village, comprising the
native matched nuts of the Samoan,
or as they were formerly called. the
Navigator islands, were brought in
tact from the native villages and are
absolutely faithful in all their fea-
lures There are many native fam
lilies living in the village who for
the edification OF visitors perform the
aquatic feats in which the islanders
excel, and dance the rhythmic native
dances. The life of the people Of the
Pacific ocean is wonderfully illus
trated at the Exposition, and of all
the races none are more interesting
than the Samoans who exhibit many
traces of Aryan descent, No Exposi-
ton visitor should fail to see these
unique tribespeople.
