THE SENATE AND LIQUOR.

While the two test votes taken on the prohibition question in the Ar kansas senate cannot be said to be de- cisive or positively to indicate the final vote on the question, they show some interesting changes of position upon the part of some of the senators. The first test vote was on the in- definite postponement of the Collins submission bill, favored by the "wets," standing IT to 15 for the pro- hibition side. The next test vote oc- cured Tuesday, when a motion was made to suspend the rules and read the Newberry bill, which had been transmitted from the house, the sec ond time, this motion being lost, with ,18 votes the prohibition side, to IT opposing.
 But the F who voted on the "dry" side on the Collins bill are not alto gether the same senators as the IT who were recorded as favorable to hastening the passage of the New berry bill. Senator Yam, who was absent at the first test vote, voted dry" and Senators Harris and Was son, who were also absent, voted "wet." Senator Ruff changed from "wet" to "dry" and Senators Fergu- son and Moore changed from 'Tdry" to "wet," thus leaving the "drys" with an equal number of votes and adding three to the strength of the l"Wets."
 The senators who voted on the same side on both motions were Sen ators Bush, Cabaniss, Carter, Daven- port, Futrell, Garrett, Greenhouse, Kendall, Overman, Sims, Slaughter, Toler, Wagner, White and Lundy,
 15) for prohibition; and Senators Adamson, Ashley, Burgess, Calvert, Collins, Duty, Edmonson, Going, Hamilton, Jones, McCaCn, Owens, Smith of Columbia and Smith of Un- ion, Q4) against prohibition.
 At stated above, these test votes are by no means positive indications as to how the senators will vote when they squarely face the issue of the passage of the bill itself and there may be numerous other changes when the final roll call is had But they are sufficient to show that, whereas prohibition is overwhelmingly favor ed in the lower house, it's fate is de- cidedly uncertain in the upper house. FAULKNER COUNTY business men have proven themselves superior in enterprise and intelligence to their quorum court which recently traded valuable farm demonstration agent for a couple of worthless blood hounds. The business men and farm CTS got together and raised by vouln- tary subscription one thousand dollars to which the federal government has added five hundred and with this sum the service of the farm demonstrat- or are now available to continue the work already we'll begun when the
 quorum court got struck with the blood hund pup idea. We trust this example of civic common sense and enterprise will not be lost on the jus tices of the quorum in Faulkner county.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF GEM COUNTY
Mart hDnri

ness of many kinds of verdure.
Mountains pile up on three sides
of a deep valley down which
flows a broad, sweeping river,
a strip of silver cutting the
picture in two like the slash
of a giant knife. And as the
beholder follows its course in
the fourth direction the vista
opens up a limitless perspective
till the sky meets the land in a
glorious, purpling confusion at
the horizon.
This is the eastern end of Pay
cite valley. The green things be-
low are indeed trees and grass,
but not a motley wilderness nor
waste of forest; it is a house in
order, laid out as precisely as
the streets of a western city, a
gigantic checkerboard, with
straight, smooth roads marking
the lines between some hundreds
of orchards bearing peaches, ap-
pies and prunes.
So this first impression has
been one of amazed delight. AS
the stage winds down a steep
slope along a road no longer
heavy with dust, but hard and
clean, the impression grows. No
longer is the journey irksome, or
the scene one of desolation. Life
and activity abound. Down,
down, down into the valley, down
among the trees where it is cool
and shady. People afoot, horse
drawn vehicles and many auto
mobiles are passed along the
highway and glimpses of big,
handsome homes are seen thro
the orchard rows. In the exact
center of the valley tall water
tower stands, marking the town
of Emmett, whence the stage
is bound. A well built little city

The best way to start is at the
beginning, and the beginning in
this case comes just as naturally
as all beginnings should-a re-
cital of the first impressions of
the subject in hand. The subject
is Gem county, Idaho, Emmett
the county seat, and that por-
ton of fertile Payette valley ly-
ing within the county bound
aries. This may sound like sew
eral subjects, but really it is only
one for all the items are en-
braced under the one head =
Gem County.
By auto stage from Boise to
Emmett, after leaving the green
stretches of the Boise valley,
the road travelled is hot and dus-
ty during the later summer
months. Mile after mile is trav-
ersed through an. uninviting
area of dull sage-covered hills,

is the best for fruit, where water
can be placed upon it. The bench
land is made up of the rich loan
washed down from the mountain
sides, and drains itself by reason
of its situation. Western noun
tain soil operates exactly oppo-
site from what is the case in the
middle western and eastern
states. Through the Mississippi
Valley, where the rich loan is
deposited by the streams, the
bottom lands are best. In the
mountain valleys the best soil
is a wash from the mountains,
best at the mountains base thin
ming and losing productive pow
er toward the valley centers and
along the river bottoms. In the
Emmett country, however, this
entire end of the valley is in
such close proximity to the
mountain slopes, that all is rich
and productive almost to the
river bank.
Around the whole bowl is a
loop of irrigating bitches sup
plying water that means life to
vegetation in this country. The
supply is taken from the bounti-
full Payette river that rises at
the lakes of the same name some
hundred miles north. 1t is
mighty stream with unfailing
flood, a fact that banishes that
nightmare of western farmers

The Pioneers Hear
 Delegate s Report

The regular monthly meeting of Fairbanks Igloo, Pioneers of Alaska, was held on last Monday evening and eleven names were added to the already large list of members.
 Delegate Wickersham reported that he had visited the Cinema Hot springs, acting in the capacity of one of the board selected by the territorial legislature to select a site for home for pioneers in the Interior, and found the place an ideal one About the only thing standing in the way of it's selection is the litigation of George Wilson, who has appealed his case to the secru tary of the interior after being de cided against by the land office.
 The next regular meeting of the Igloo will be the first Monday in October, after which time there will be two meetings a month-the first and third Mondays.

Record Round Trip
 To Koyukuk Camp

After an absence of a little less than month the steamer Tana made her home port Monday after noon. bringing a few passengers, some mail and express. The round trip was the fastest ever made by any boat over the same route. Until the close of navigation it is likely that the Tana will keep busy on the run between Fairbanks and the Tolovana.
 The passenger list on her re turn trip from the Koyukuk follows:
 From Wiseman-Judge Frank E. Howard, Mrs. Howard, Mrs. J. D Rose.

Jack Leach Ships
 Out Anthony Ore

Jack Leach made shipment of antimony ore from his Eva creek property last Monday of between twenty and twenty-five tons. The shipment will run at least 50 per cent pure antimony. This is the first shipment made from this prop erty. but it is thought MT. Leach will make at least one more before the close of navigation.
 The ore was delivered at the dock at Cinema and will be loaded on the first boat leaving for the lower river.
 Aside from this shipment of MT Leach's, Si Scrafford is the only shipper of antimony ore from this district although other prospectors have located similar ore, but are too late for this seasons shipments.
