HEIDEMAN'S DISPLAY WINNER
Says His Success Comes Largely
From Planting Pedigree Seeds

C. w. H. Heideman, one of the
we'll known ranchers of this district
and who is now in charge of James
Borden's large vegetable and fruit
ranch near Spirit Lake, Ida, was the
winner of a number of prizes this
year at the Spokane Interstate Fair.
In a letter to the Herald Mr.. Heide-
man Announces that he was awarded
first prizes for best collection of
grains grown in the Inland Empire;
first prizes for best sheaf of bar
ley, best sheaf of winter wheat; best
peck Blue Prussian peas; best peck
Canadian peas; best peck wrinkled
peas. He also won secod prizes for
best sheaf of oats; best sheaf of tim
othy; best peck winter wheat; best
peck late potatoes.
Mr.. Heideman states that his en-
tire success is due to the fact that
he uses pedigreed seeds. He states
that the success of the Kootenai Val
ley Seed Growers Association is alb
solutely assured and believes the as
ISOLATION will be the means of plac-
ing hundreds of farmers of Northern
Idaho on their feet financially.

creek district, was in town yester-
day securing supplies for the new
school house where school will be
started Monday IN charge of Thomas
Lynch
Fred Solomon and VIM. Hill are
the other members of the board of
trustees. They recently found that
the Curley Greek school would not
be able to accommodate all the chill
dren of the district and accordingly,
at a specially called meeting, levied
an additional school tax of one and
one-half mills for the purpose of es-
tablishing a new school in the old
school building at the Cross Roads.
Mr.. Schlette states that Miss Tres
sa O'Brien is very successful as a
teacher and the patrons of the Cow

BORAH GOES EAST THIS WEEK
Enmity Exists Between Senator and
Boise Daily Statesman

Boise, Ida, September 81, 1915
Senator Borah expects to close his
Office here this week. He will visit
in the state before he leaves for
Washington. His stay at home has
indicated that there is an estrange-
ment between him and the editor of
the Boise Statesman. An indication
of it was shown recently Senator
Borah addressed the Columbian club
and he has been generally quoted in
the state as having stated on that
occasion that the press of the state
was responsible for the primary nom
nation of o. V. Allen. The States
man took Borah to task for this al
legged statement. Borah claims that
he did not generalize in his state
ment but that he did say chat a GER
tain newspaper which was opposing
the direct primary, and giving AL
lens nomination as an illustration of
| its failure, had sufficient knowledge
of Aliens affairs to have defeated
his nomination if it had made known
all the facts which it had in its pos
session" Borah claims that this
statement was qualified to the States
man. The Statesman came out with
an editorial finding fault with Borah
for arraigning the press of the state,
and the newspapers naturally took
exception to the implication.
This feeling between Senator Bor-
ah and Editor Cobb is more or less
personal but the fact that Borah
was for Roosevelt and Cobb for Taft,
might make it look as if the old
time lineup might make itself an
Embarrassing feature in another cam
Ipaign. However, whether the diff
lferences between the senior senator
and the most prominent republican
organ in the state shall lead 20 inter
necine warfare is one of the prob
lens which confronts those whose
duty it will become to minimize per-
lsonal differences in the party.
