Keep Mineral Matter before the Hogs

The growing individual and also
those in the fattening pens require
large quantities of mineral matter to
keen them on the profit side in pork
production. 1t is found by analysis
that a high per cent of the bones OF
the body is composed of calcium.
PHOSPHORUS and potassium, and that
the digestive tract requires a certain
amount of carbon and salt to induce
the organs to function properly.
The individuals must secure these
minerals either through the feed sup
piled or from the soil as result OF
roofing.
The following mbinations kept
before the hogs at all times will iu-
sure more economy in production and
reduce the roofing habit to degree
that will do little damage to the pas
ture:
Stacked coal, 100 pounds.
Air Stacked lime, pounds.
Salt, common, 2 pounds.
EPSON salts, l pound.
Copperas, 2 pounds.
All the above constituents except
the copperas should be mixed at one
time. The copperas should be dis
solved in boiling water This solution
a. r
should then be sprinkled over the
mixture to insure equal distributor
of the copperas. The copperas in the
mixture acts as vermifuge and VII

Although the waters are receding in
nearly all districts, railroad and tele-

the overflowing streams swollen by
torrential rains which followed last
weeks hurricane as it swept inland

SETTLERS ENTITLED
TO USE OF WATER
Companies Cannot Shut Water off for
Failure to Meet Principal

cordance with his contract with the
construction company for the pur-
chase of water right, the company
should resort to the security of such
statutory procedure which constitutes
an exclusive remedy.
Prevents Proof.
"The enforcement of provision in
contract between a Carey act con-
struction company and settler en-
powering the company TO deprive the
settler of the right to the use of wa
ter on his failure to make payments
upon the original contract debt,
might prevent the settler from max
ing proof which would entitle him to
deed, and prevent the state from
procuring patent to the lands within
the Carey act project.
"This result would destroy the Sc
curity out of which the construction
company seeks reimbursement for the
cost of construction and thereby rem
der valuless its lien upon the land.
IT would also result in the public wa
ters of the state not being applied to
the highest beneficial use. Even from
these considerations alone, such CON
tractual provision is contrary to pub
lie policy and can only be resorted TO
as provided by law for the collection
of ordinary charges for maintenance
of works and operating expenses pro

no other remedy for the situation
would enter upon it,
General Carranza, however. refused
to discuss the situation as 1t related
to the possible action of President
Wilson or of the Latin-American ma
'tions which offered to mediate In the
trouble between the United States and
Mexico. Within a short time, the first
chief said, there would be incorporat-
ed In the constitution of Mexico all the
reforms which now find place In the
program of the constitutionalists. In
large measure, he declared, some of
these reforms already are in opera
tions and there remains only their in
corporation into the fundamental laws
of the country.
The presidential election, Carranza
said, would take place as soon as the
work of reconstructing the constitution
had been completed and when the
country was at peace.
The de facto government. the first
chief asserted, will pass law OF am
nesty, sc that all Mexicans who have
left the country for one reason or an
other can return If they desire. Sucn

"As for myself. personally, | DO no'

SENATOR HITS
RIGHT SPOT
Danger Forseen by Borah
Has MaterialiZed.

From newspapers in all parts of the
ernor's defiance of state law in the
matter of his appointment to the
place of second in command of the
Idaho militia regiment The Gooding
Leader, under the caption "Borab
Was Right" has the following force
full comment:
One of the strongest opponents of
the new army bill, when it was pend
ing in the senate, was Senator Borah
of Idaho, and the chief ground of his
opposition was that it provided for a
military reserve composed of state
militia 1t was contended by the SEN
ator that the organization of the
state militia in many states was con-
trolled by partisan politics and for
this reason it never could become an
efficient and dependable military
force.
Recent events in Idaho have fully
vindicated Senator Borah in the po-
sition taken by him at that time. Ida
hos national guard, through petty
partisan intrigue, has been brought
| to such a state of demoralization as
| to seriously impair its efficiency. Pro
badly in no other state has there been
SO fragrant an exhibition of partisan
| a..1xoo l., ,,,;l;torx, q ffoirc hut the
evil exists in some degree in most ol
| the states.
The army plan proposed by the
highest military experts of the land
and indorsed and recommended by
President Wilson, contemplated
federal army organized and maintain
ed by the federal government, which
would have made of the state militia
| a factor of small consequence. Sec
retary of War Garrison regarded the
adoption of this plan of such vita
Importance to the welfare of the ma
ton that he resigned his office be-
Icause President Wilson signified his
Intention to "back up" and acquiesct
| in the substitution of the state mill
tia plan.
| But the plan proposed by the army
board presented no pork barrel posi-
bilities, and hence it met little favor
| in congress- for never in the history
of the nation has the average con
gressman been so firmly devoted tt
"the old flag and ar appropriation.
BY adopting the state militia plar
a large sum of government money
(about $5O,OO0,0OO yearly was Sc
cured for distribution among the ma
| tional guardsmen of the various
states, and each congressman ant
senator was able to carry home
small piece of bacon. So that wa
! the plan adopted.
When the choice lay between mill
| tary inefficiency and full pork bar
rel on the one hand, and military et
fciency and an empty pork barrel ol
the other, it was an easy matter TO
congress to decide.
But our Idaho senator stood on
for efficiency and against the porl
barrel.

Settlers living on lands entered in
Idaho under the Carey act won de-
cisive victory Saturday oyer water
companies operating in this state,
when the supreme court, in deci-
sion handed down in the case brought
by Rome Adams, ct al, against the
Twin Falls-Oakley Land & Water Co..
declared that water could not be
withheld from project because of
failure of entrymen to pay the prin-
cipal and interest on water contracts.
The decision takes the form of is
suance of writ of mandate compel
ling the company to deliver water to
each of about 80 plaintiffs In the
quantity available and to which they
are severally entitled. The costs are
awarded to the plaintiffs
The opinion of the court directly ef-
fects every Carey act project in Ida
no and thousands of farmers who
have entered into contracts with
large corporations for the delivery OF
water to tracts of land taken up un-
der the act, or purchased outright.
The case has attracted great deal
of attention throughout the state and
has been followed closely by bob set
tiers and water companies
The court in its opinion held the
contract of the Twin Falls-Oakley
company signed by the settlers was
in conflict with the public policy and
laws of this state because it gave to
the water company power OF cutting
off the water supply needed for irri-
CATION purposes when principal and
interest on water contracts were not
met

Contract Argued.
The principal contention in the case
between the water company and the
plaintiffs centered about the validity
of that portion of the contract
"An examination of the contract
between the state and the construc-
tion company shows that it contains
no provision which authorizes the
construction company to refuse the
delivery of water where the entry
man is in default in the payment OF
either principal or interest on his wa
for contract with the construction
company, says the court in its opln-
ion. "This clearly indicates that such
a procedure was not contemplated by
the state or the construction company
when that contract was entered into,
nor. as we view it, could such pro-
vision have been legally inserted in
the contract between the state and
the construction company
That portion of the contract, found
in section 6, drawn up by the water
company and signed by the settlers,
is void, within the opinion OF the
court. The paragraph In question
reads:
"It is agreed that no water shall be
delivered to the purchasers from said
irrigation system while any initial
installment of principal or interest is
due and unpaid from the purchaser
to the said company or while any TOLL
and assessment is due and unpaid
from the purchaser to the Oakley
Canal Company"
The court held that the company
did not rely upon paragraph SIX OF lts
contract for the penalty to be impos-
ed for the failure on the part OF the
settler TO comply with the conditions
of the contract in the matter OF max
ling deferred payments together WIFI
The interest therein provided for. but
# relied upon other provisions OF the
contract.
Lien on Property.
In dealing with the action that tne
company may take in the matter the
dominion states: where a person as
sociation or corporation contracts te
deliver a certain quantity of water te
any party or parties and the amounts
to be paid by said party or parties FOL
the delivery of such water is fixed D,

Furnished and delivered, independen
of the lien fixed by contract for th'
Initial cost of construction of the ir

said tract of land is in the Unitet
States or state of Idaho, then the sai'
amount becomes first lien upon an,
crop or crops which may be raise'
upon said tract of land during sucl
irrigation season; and these lien
may be recorded and collected as pro
