TWO BROTHERS
GRAB HOMESTEADS

TWO brothers filed their final proofs
TO homestcads in tile Lamoille district
yesterday. and they will thus gain two
line tracts OF land, each covering l6U
acres. and both claims being adjacent.
They are. Nelson and John \. Castor,
ana both of them have the required
amount of land under cultivation. and
both have diversified crops, grain. hay
AMI vegetables.
These two brothers are shrewd
business men and early realized that
the way to make money on land is 10
raise produce and feed il themselves
to animals, and let the products that
they raised bring them It retail value.
They have been feeding as many hogs
as their land would support and have
found IL very profitable. as Nevada is
splendidly adapted TO hog raising.

Twin Falls Commercial Club

The great good fortune that appears
just ahead of the Twin Falls country
in abundant crops and high prices
should do much to bring to this Sec
ton large number Of practical farm
ers from all over the middle west. We
need them and can assimilate at least
q third more than we have at present
without detriment to those already in
the field. Some method Of getting
the crop compilations for this year
before the prospective settler could
easily be devised by the Commercial
club. 1t should be done at once SO
that much valuable data will not be
lost through neglect.
This does not mean the tossing to-
gether of abnormal and bumper crops
picked haphazard from the whole sec
ton, but indicative ordinary crops
striking an average for each portion
of the county that will convince the
practical farmer of its truthfulness
Freakish crops should have no place

Republican party must put good
man into the field against him. Nose
Alexander has not made good as a
governor and is spending time which
belongs to the state in travelling about
building up his fences. But there is
no question but what he is making an
impression with the people because of
his repeated reiterations of his ac-
complishments. The Times would
heartily endorse movement that will
bring out a popular as well as sound
business man for governor on the Re-
publican ticket. The old crowd which
has controlled affairs for the past six
years has become disorganized since
the defeat of John M. Haines. 1t
will be an opportune time to get the
organization lined up with good men
in control who will not stand for some
of the disgraceful acts of the past.
