to its production. Between seven
and eight hundred thousand pounds
of cream were shipped from the
tract in 1914, being the production of
some $500 head of mich cows over
and above local consumption. About
six hundred heifer calves will come
into the mich COW class during the
coming year in addition to the milch
stock that will be shipped in, and
they are being followed up by this
years crop of calves totalling 1000
of both sexes not sent to the butcher
of which by far the greater number
are heifers. Thus it is seen that
dairying is bound to keep pace with
the rapid development along other
lines which the tract is enjoying.
The creameries in this immediate
territory, situated at Twin Falls
Idaho, have received the bulk of tho
cream shipments. although the Poca-
tello and Portland markets received
very respectable percentage. In
the not far distant future it is a prac-
teal certainty that creameries will
be established right on the tract TO
take care of local production. In
fact, a creamery at Hazelton is al
ready launched, and Jerome will not
be far behind.
Sheep.
The prominence of Idaho as q
sheep producing state is countrywide
and the North Side tract is right in
the midst of its richest sheep raising
section. The annual lamb and wool
crops have brought thousands of dol
! lars TO this locality, and will continue

Stock Ra|Sing

Aside from practical considera-
tons, there is still on the side of
stock raising the inexhaustible inter
est and fascination which it affords.
The sense of satisfaction which pos
sesses the man who has by careful
study and selection developed a su
perior strain of stock is a large meas
ure of compensation in itself for the
painstaking work involved, and with
good management it is certain to be
accompanied by substantial pecuni
airy profit.
Horses.
When one considers that few
years hence the broncho was the only
local representative of the horse fam
lily, and poor representative at that,
it is really amazing that so high an
average of splendid draft types
should be found over the tract as at
the present time. AS in most other
respects, we are with reference to
draft animals far in advance of many
of the older farming districts. Visit
ing stockmen admit this One fire.

Gus parade, and they ale in fine fettle
all the time. 1t is no trouble to keep
them looking trim and in the best of
condition in this Idaho climate, which
is beneficient alike to man and beast.
The pride which we take in our work
stock is entirely warranted and will
be carefully fostered by raising the
standard constantly higher.
With their old time treachery and
all round "cussedness' carefully pre-
served, the bantam bronchoes of the
cattle days are still with us in small
numbers, but their days CT useful

queer, tormented Gallic masks,

GIVING UP USE OF RADlUM
Through Constant Study at Hands Of
Experts, Better Understanding Of
Its Action Attained.

The outburst of sensational discus
sion of radium as a cure for cancer
having subsided this method of treat
ment is finding its true place and value
as an aid to surgery. Through con-
stant study at the hands of many ex-
perts a new and better understanding
latest statement from an authoritative
source is found in the annual report Of
the Harvard cancer commission.
At the Coils p. Huntington hospital
in Boston 200 milligrams of radium are
in use under all the advantages of new
and ingenious methods of application
devised by the hospital staff. AS a
result of another whole year of obser-
vation, the Harvard commission re-
peats its conclusion first published in
1914 that the curative value of radium
is limited to certain types of skin can
Ger and other localized forms of the
disease. Its value as a palliative in
relieving pain and discharge in inoper-
able cases has been fully confirmed.
1t has also been found effective in
iCuhChia, a
nous increase in the white blood cells
with enlargement of the spleen. Large
cancerous growths were sometimes
found to disappear under the influence
of radium, but the spreading of the
cancer to other parts of the body was
not prevented in these cases. and in
deed it appeared that the patients
might even succumb to the poisons re-
leased into the system as direct re-
suit of the breaking up of the tumor
under radium treatment
Most significant of all is the state
ment that radium treatment has been
refused at the Huntington hospital in
cases where a surgical cure seemed
reasonably robable.-Journal Ameri-

"UNSINKABLE SHIP" ABSURD
Expert Declares That Such Vessel
Will Never Be BuiIt-Great
Size Disadvantage.

The Morning Post says that the rap
idity with which the Lusitania sank
raises important questions with regard
to modern devices for helping keep ves-
sells af1oat in case of their being dam
aged by accident or design. 1t quotes
Alexander Christie as saying:
Il don't believe there is such thing
in the world as an unsinkable ship.
Neither do l believe such ship will
ever be built.
"The idea of such a thing seems to
me absurd. How can you make 10000
tons of iron, steel and brass float (for
that is how you must look at it, when
the metal has been battered into
more or less shapeless mass?
There were plenty of lifeboats on
board the Lusitania, but it was ques-
ton of time. and that did not suffice
to launch all the boats. Had the Lu-
sitania remained afloat. say fer two
or three hours, have little doubt that
the lives of all on board would have
been saved except in the case Of those
who we're killed by the explosion of
the torpedo, or might have died Of
shock.
''It is one Of the disadvantages Of
the great size of modern passenger
vessels that they carry so many
people that 1t takes long time to get
them OF in case of danger.
81 am inclined to think that in the
future we shall not see vessels much
larger than those which have already
been built, not because Of the reason
/ have mentioned, but because Of the
difficulty of finding harbors suitable
for the accommodation of the vessels
beyond a certain size"

London. - The official press bureau
issued the following text of a report
on the Dardanelles operations receiv-
ed from Cairo:
"On the night of Thursday the
Turks, having heavily bombarded a
small fort at the front at the extreme
right of the French position, which
had just previously been captured by
our allies, launched an infantry at
tack, which was repulsed with heavy
losses to the enemy.
AT the same time the Turks set
fire to the Scrubin front of the left
center position occupied by a British
division, and attacked at that point
without success.
"On Friday morning Sir Ian Hamil-
ton ordered a general attack on the
Turkish trenches in the southern area
of the Gallipoli Peninsula. This was
preceded by a heavy bombardment
from all our guns, assisted by the
battleships. cruisers and destroyers.
AT given signal our troops rushed
forward with the bayonet, and were
successful all along the line except at
one spot, where the heavy wire en-
tanglerents had not been destroyed
by the bombardment
"The regular division made good
progress on the left center, capturing
strong redoubt and the two lines Of
trenches beyond It, advancing about
500 yards from their original posi-
tion.
"The territorial division in the CEN
ter attacked brilliantly, advancing 500
yards and capturing three lines of
trenches, but though they advanced
and captured the enemys rearmost
trenches and held it all day and half
the ensuing night, they had to be o.
dered back in the morning to the
second captured line, as both their
fianks were exposed.
"The naval division on our right
center captured redoubt and a for
midable line of trenches in three
tiers, 300 yards to their FONT, but
they, too, had to be ordered back.
owing to a heavy enfilading fire.
"The French second division al
vanced with great gallantry and re-
took for the fourth time that deadly
redoubt they call LeHaricott But the
Turks developed heavy counter-at-
tacks through their prepared commu-
nication trenches, and under cover CT
an accurate shell fire recaptured it.

ing 10 officers. Among the prisoners
were five Germans, the remains of a
volunteer machine gun detachment
from the Goeben. Their officer was
killed and machine gun was de-
stroyed."

news of the arrival of German re

from the British northeast of Given

the British still hold. although for a
time the British were compelled tc
evacuate the building which they
captured.
The Germans also claim to be in
possession of the sugar refinery az
SSuchez, the loss of which they have
not previously acknowledged. While
these in themselves are considered
small matters in military circle here,
they are believed to be the forerun-
ners of a resumption of fighting on a
large scale.
For some time it has been reported
that the French were slowly driving
out the Germans from strong posi-
tions north of Arras and were, In
