FLASK ON
HIP SPIED
BY SHERIFF

As Hodge Bailey left his office for
dinner yesterday, he beheld man pur-
suing rather an irregular course up
Choctaw avenue and who was, from all
outward appearances, under the influ-
ence of some liquid considerably
stronger than water. Under his arm
he carried paper containing guam
tity of link sausages. The paper was
torn and it was with difficulty that he
kept said sausages assembled.
incidentally, the sheriff spied bot
tie of whisky protruding from the
mans hip pocket, which flask he re-
moved and had the man pinched be-
fore he knew what was going on.
"Where did you get this?" asked the
sheriff. "Damfino,p replied the intox-
icated one, while his blurred gaze wan
dered about the landscape and he
reeled on his unsteady legs.
"There is only one thing to it. You
wiz, tell me where you got it or I'll
have to lock you in JAIL" remarked
the sheriff
"Well. I can't exactly tell you, Off
Ger, but can show you mighty quick,
and it amt so very far from here,
neither"
Guided by the drunken one, the
sheriff proceeded to livery barn on
side street. Two men were sitting
on a bale of hay in the driveway
Keeling up to one of the men, the
drunk said, "Hic, that's him. He sold
it to me for 60 cents"
The information thus gathered re
suited in the arrest of I. M. Burkett
who was taken to the county Jail but
later released pending his hearing
when good and sufficient bond was
made.

the leaders that unless they act the
United States will be constrained to
decide what means should be employ

That the governments policy if un-

ultimately has been considered ant

LAND SALES
New Settlers Coming to Settle on
Company's Tracts

j. U. Mcpherson brought a large
party of land buyers to the Idaho
Irrigation company tracts last week,
who promise to be one of the best
assets this section has ever had. Mr.
Frank Jewett, of Mt. Vernon, Wash
ington, and his son have bought 80
acres of partly improved land on the
Dietrich tract, and will bring so head
of fine cows to the place this season.
Lon Jewett, from the same place, also
bought 40 acres at Dietrich. Fred
Miles, of Kent, Washington, Is this
week buying a 40 near Richfield, and
Mr.. Moore and his son, from the
same place, have about concluded the
purchase of a fine improved 16O
acres near Richfield.
Agent Dysart, for the company, ex-
poets to bring bunch of land buyers
this week from Colorado, where he
has been working He will then go
back to the western field. V. V.
Bower is around Portland, and meet
ing with fine encouragement. ]. U.
Mcpherson, head of the sales depart
ment, has got into close touch with
a large number of Swiss dairymen
from near Seattle, who are becoming
intensely interested in this as dairy
section. They have already bought
several hundred acres here, the Ar
mold purchase near Marley being one
of these. If they should come In any
numbers, with their
COWS and their expert methods of
farming, they would make this one of
the most noted farm sections in the
entire west within the next five years.

SOCIETY OF EQUITY
Matter of Incorporating Taken
UP by the Society

At an important meeting of the
Farmers Society of Equity, held Sat
urday afternoon, it was agreed to cir
culate paper to get an idea of the
subscriptions that could be secured
for establishing a warehouse here for
the sale and purchase of farmers
supplies. A tentative form of incor-
poration organization plan was pre-
sented, to be worked over at later
meeting If the subscriptions show
that the institution can be started
with sufficient capital, the incorpora-
tion will be carried on.
1t is not the intention to start in
opposition to any or all of the estab-
lished industries here or elsewhere.
The basic belief is, that if farming
can be made little more profitable,
through better purchasing of some
of the farm necessities, better sale of
some of the farm products, there will
be a vast impetus given to the busi-
ness of better farming. Under pres
ent financial conditions, farming has
not been extremely profitable; indeed,
the average farmer all over America
does not make near wages at his
work, with his interest on his invest
ment thrown away. If farming could
be counted upon to run generally on
the right instead of the wrong side
of the ledger, men would flock from
the city back to the farm and reverse
the movement that has been going
on for half a century. To make the
farming pay just that much better,
and so make every farm a proflt-pro-
ducing asset to the community,
would bring business to everybody;
It would harm no one already estab-
Iished, it would make every town
better and bigger and more prosper
1us.
The new institution wouldn't seek
% monopolize any business, to drive
out one man or set of men, or to es-
.ablish other bosses to rule by their
bigger power of organization. 1t
ooks like rational development of
he farming business that has been
IN the ragged edge of failure all over
America for quarter of century.

CLUB NOTES
Lively Meeting Held and New
Officers installed

The officers for the Woman's Club
for the coming year, were installed
at the regular meeting, Friday after
noon, when Mesdames Leitch and
Williams entertained the Club. The
officers are: Mrs. Crosby, president;
Mrs. Fletcher, vice president; Mrs.
Gorow, secretary; and Mrs. Sehwa-
ner, treasurer. An interesting pro-
gram was given in addition, on Ger
man Life" Mrs. Fletcher introduc-
ed the subject by a talk on German
Legends; Mrs. Hopes read sketches
on German Social Life; Mrs. McMa-
hon discussed the Educational Life
of Germany; Mrs. Fred Crane had
German Art; and Mrs. Phelps gave
an especially fine Travel Talk on
Germany, this last being cut short
because of the lateness of the hour.
1t was so highly appreciated that she
is to be asked to continue the talk at
the next meeting. The hostesses
served light refreshments at the close
of the program.
The program committee, which is
to outline the work for next year, will
be appointed by the president, and
will in due time make known the
course of study for the coming year.
The club will select delegate to
the next state Federation convention,
which will be at Caldwell about the

looked at the previous meetings.

NEW STATE HIGHWAY
Workmen are to Establish Guide
Posts to Sawtooth Reserve

The Twin Falls Commercial Club is
to start out gang of workmen, in
side the next few days. to establish
guideposts all along the road from
Twin Falls to the Sawtooth reserve
the state highway established last
year. Most of the road is finely
graded; the Shoshone highway Dis
trict for about eight miles south of
Shoshone, and about ten miles this
way until it meets the Richfield dis
trict; then a little more than 20
miles through the Richfield district;
and then onto the section from the
Blaine county line near Tykura, to
HALEY. A number of grading camps
are now on the road from Tykura to
highway completed about the first of
June.
This will be one of the finest coun-
ty roads in the state, or in the whole
West 1t will follow closely the Lit
tie Wood River for number of
miles; nowhere being far from the
stream. Most of the way from Twin
Falls to HALEY, it will be through a
well-settled, irrigated country, with
fine farms alongside. 1t is practi-
cally gradeless road except the nat
ural, almost imperceptible water
grade; there are no hills anywhere.
The road after leaving Shoshone,
touches the postoffices of Marley,
Richfield, Pagari, Tykura, Picabo,
Hay Spur, Gannett, and Bellevue; be-
sides being the only route for the
branch road to Carey. 1t is bound
TO be the chosen route for the Saw
tooth travel, even though the Tim
norman hill route direct north from
Shoshone to HALEY, which touches
no postofflces until it reaches Belle
vue. Is a shorter cut for the hills. But
the climb over the Zimmerman hill,
while not really steep, is nevertheless
enough slower than the longer, pleas
anter road through the farm coun-
try which is the chosen road; and
then, the Zimmerman hill road will
be snowier, muddier, more clayey
and so harder to travel, for good
deal longer part of the year.
1t Is urged that everyone who trav-
els to the Sawtooth country, come by
the Richfield route, and see how this
farm country is being built up. The
grade will be finished within the next
few weeks, so that one can run the
whole route on high gear-just as
last as one cares to go.
