Much Of this stock, as individual

This is a plain statement OF facts
and we believe that the buyers of not

who attend this sale will realize that
we are making an honest Offering Of
good, clean, honest stock, such az will
bring wealth to any community into
which 1t may go. The assessable in

the tremendous export of American.

DISPERSION SALE
Percheron Mares, Stations, and Few Belgian and Ken
lucky Saddle Stations at Auction

On Monday, November 20, 1915,
Smith & McMaster, owners, will sell
at auction beginning at 1890 o'clock
in the afternoon, at c. A. McMaster's
sale pavilion, Twin Falls, So head of
imported and American bred Perch
erons and Belgians; 20 head of mares,
Q to 10 years old and weighing from
1900 to 1000 pounds; 10 head of stall
lions, one to nine years old and weigh
ing from 1000 to 1900 pounds; wcan-
ling Percheron colts; three fillies and
one stud; two Kentucky bred saddle
stations.
This will be the greatest opportun-
ity and stock Of the best individuality
and quality ever offered at auction
sale in the northwest will be placed
on sale at this time. In this sale the
owners have sons and daughters and
grandsons and descendants of the
three greatest stations in America,
Carnot, Calypso and Brilliant. They
cost their owners 100000 each and
all are international prize winners.
Reasons for Sale.
Naturally when dispersion sale of
high class stock Is announced there
is a reason for 1t. For many years the
firm of Smith & McMaster has been
prominent in the livestock industry.
There naturally comes time when,
for various business reasons, 1t be-
comes necessary to dissolve business
relations. We feel that the time has
now arrived for US to do SO. Hence,
the dispersion sale without any reser-
walton.
We have gone east to the importers,
who bring the best from Belgium and
France, and have spent our money
freely for the best that we could pro-
cure. From them we have bred some
and scattered and diffused the blood
Of these best horses throughout south
ern Idaho. We believe that our work
has been well done, and that the coun-
try Is much better off financially and
In every way through our efforts. Now
that importations are entirely shut off
because of the European war, this high
class stock becomes doubly valuable.
We do not make the broad claim that
we have the best Percherons in Amer
lea, but we do claim that we have
some of the good ones, and OF the
very best blood that has helped France
and Belgium to develop their horse
breeding operations up to the. high
standard attained at the commence
ment Of the war. Percheron and Bel
gian breeders must unquestionably de-
pend in the near future at least, upon
the best blood already on American
shores. Even should the war cease

TAXES EASE At his IA RM
Paul Biekel, Who Engineered the Big.
gest Irrigation Project In Idaho.

A sun-tanned man with broad, nat
ural made shoulders, an unaffected
laugh and modest, almost bashful
manner, visited Boise last week He
came from that part of Gods garden
which begins at Blue lakes and
strings down the Snake river canyon
to the King Hill tract. Any student
of human nature would recognize
him at once as a man of substance,
but to accurately guage his profess
sional stature you must ask somt one
who knows him for he will never tell
you.
The visitor was Paul S. A. Bickel,
chief engineer on the original Twin
Falls South Side tract from it's incep-
ton to it's completion. Those who
know him real well used to call him
Pabst Schlitz Anheuser- Busch Bickel,
but they had to know him right we'll
and had to smile when they said it,
Not that anything connected with his
individuality of his work suggested
the moist handles, quite the contrary
He Is one of the most abstemious of
men. OF course, during the old days
If you happened to strike Bickel's
camp on a warm night and your
tAAOdI was OupIy anu AC hAcN YOU
well and liked you, he might, possibly,
provide first aid, but that has nothing
to do with his visit to Boise.
Retired to the Farm.
When the big project was turned
over to the settlers, Mr. Bickel re-
tired to his beautiful farm at the
head of Riley creek, where he lives
today in quiet and comfort. In vain
the Carey act companies sought his
services. He could name his own
price. Even word of endorsement
from him would be appreciated by a
lot Of them, but not for Paul. He
had one great big monument and that
was enough for him. He did not
build it single-handed, he never pre-
tended to. There was Shobert and
Joe Hyer and Joe Hyer's bulldog and
a lot of other helpers, but Paul
SBickel was the master mind When
he got through with the Twin Falls
project there was nothing worth
while picking up behind him. 1t
stands today as he left it, complete
so far as human ingenuity could
make it.
Garden Spot.
The Bickel farm is one of the gar
den spots in the Snake river canyon.
1t starts where the Thousands springs
leave off. He grows everything from
bluerock pigeons to rainbow trout. He
came to Boise to get some young bass
which he succeeded in obtaining and
which he has planted in an artificial
lake on his farm. His place is over
run with topknot California valley
quail and the ducks come in droves to
his ponds every evening where they
find haven for the night.
For solid comfort and contentment.
Paul Bickel's home is model. There
,may be tines when he takes out old
blueprints and looks them over, but
he is not making any new ones. When
he reads about big yields on the Twin
Falls tract he smiles He has a right
to smile. And the first school in
