FIGURING ON MAINE ALREADY

New York Evening Post, Ind't.)
Every Republican hopes that Maine
will do her duty in September. The
leaders in that state are doing all they
can in the way of preparedness for a
victory that will fire the Republican
heart throughout the country. The
Progressives are to be welcomed to
their old allegiance, mot with osten-
tatious fawning, but in a spirit OF
good fellowship and mutual conces-
SION" The call for the state conven-
ton concludes with an invitation for
participation in its proceedings of AL
electors of Maine who are opposed to
the policies of the Democratic party
and in sympathy with the purposes
and aims of the Republican party,
without regard to past affiliations
This is all very we'll. and Maine may
go Republican as of yore, but it is not
one of the states that came back in
1914. The Progressive vote fell off in
that year by 10000 and the Republican
vote went up by $1,000, so that, if the
Democratic vote had remained what
it was in 1912, the Republican candi-
date for governor would have been
elected by a plurality of 40. But the
Dem Ocratlc vote 1mpudently went up.
too, and by 1000, with the result that
the Democrats elected their candi-
date for governor by a larger pluarl-
ity than Wilson had received over
Roosevelt. They also held on to one
congressman. Amalgamation between
Republicans and Progressives will be
encouraged, not only by this distress
ing incident. but also by the record of
September, 1912. when, by postponing
their separation, they elected Re-
publican governor-and broke the rule
that as goes Maine in September, so
goes the nation in November.

CENTER REPORTS ON
CALDWELL'S STATE
EXPERIMENT FARM

The Idaho Experiment farm at Cald-
well is dealt with by Director .. d..
Center in the annual report OF the
Unworthy of Idaho. Agricultural Elk
pertinent Station. Mr.. Center shows
what has been done at the station
since he became connected with the
work. That portion Of the annual re-
port dealing with the Caldwell station
follows:
This report covers the work of the
Caldwell sub station and demonstra-
ton farm between November |, 1914,
and December |, 1915, or from the
time the farm came under my direc-
ton to the present.
My first visit to this farm was made
near the end of October. 1914. Prac-
tically all the fall work was complet-
ed; the corn was in the shock although
unhusked; all other crops were har-
vested and either in the bin or stack.
The pasturage on the alfalfa land had
been sold to sheep herders and APP
proximately 1900 sheep were on the
farm. Inquiry at this time showed no
definite system of development in prac-
tice. But one hundred and twenty of the
three hundred and twenty acres of the
farm were being used. The cropping
of these had been conducted each sea-
son with but single season in mind.

Mayor of the City of Caldwell, Idaho
Attest:
The report of the City Engineer
MCGEE, under date of February rs,
1916 as to the cost of a system OF pipe
lines for the irrigation system In Caid,
we'll, together with an estimate OF the
cost of the same system in concrete
curb was then read. Two maps were
presented by the Engineer giving the
outline of the present system, within
the City Limits, and the amount OF
curb and curb ditch that are in place
at the present time.
The report was ordered placed on
file and the contents of the same were
discussed by the members of the
Council. Ex-Mayor c. H. Turner, be-
ing present, was called upon for an
expression of his opinion with refer
ence to the city assuming control of
the irrigation water within the plated
portion of the CITY, He stated that he
favored the city taking over. the sys-
tenn and placing the same in under
ground pipes or concrete bitches as
quickly as the financial condition
would permit as the Improvement in
sanitation and the enhancement OF
property values would be of sufficient
benefit to offset the expense of the un-
dertaking. He closed his remarks by
assuring the council of his hearty CO.
operation in any plan that they might
see fit to adopt.
1t was suggested by Councilman
Ackley that the City Attorney be re-
quested to report at the next meeting
as to all the legal phases with refer
ence to taking over the system and
the procedure necessary to take in or
der to improve the system. He also
suggestedthat the city engineer be re-
quested vBget more definite informa-
ton as to the expense of maintaining
the system and the cost of water.
A motion was made by Hayman,
seconded Dement,. that the council
adopt the curb system provided it was
decided to take over the irrigation Of
the plated portion of the city.
A motion was made by Forbes, Sec
onded Ackley, to amend the motion
by adding, that action be delayed un-
til the next regular meeting.
The roll being called on the amend
ment, the vote resulted:

1t was perfectly apparent that a
scheme of regular development should
be adopted. a system of cropping
planned, and the improvement of the
farm placed on an organized basis. The
first matters requiring attention were
the purchase of a dairy herd and pro-
vision for its care. Two months only
remained in which the two thousand
dollar appropriation for this purpose
could be used.
Securing the Dairy Herd.
The assistance of the Field Animal
Husbandman and two nearby county
agriculturists was asked in the loca-
ton, within a one hundred mile radius
of Caldwell, of young dairy stock By
the middle of November a sufficient
number of animals had been located.
On the 18th day of that month six
herds were visited in Canyon and Ada
counties. From one of them five ex-
celent grade Holstein heifert were Sc
cured. December 9Th purchase was
made of six grade heifers and on De-
cember 18th of four more. Later in
the month additionts to the herd were
made in the shape of pure bred hei-
fer and pure bred bull. The herd
then consisted Of fifteen grade heifers
one pure bred heifer and one pure bred
bull, all of the Holstein breed. All ami
mails were under three years of age
and ten of the heifers were safely in
calf.
While these animals were being Sc
cured, contract was let for the cree.
ton of a dairy barn S0x16 feet, shed
plan. Yards and pasture fencing had
also been provided.
The following state covers the ex-
penditure of the two thousand dollar

General improvements.
A few general improvements on the
farm have been made. |. The farm
has been plated. blue printed and a
system Of rotation and development
started. 2. The dairy herd and hogs
have been added as new interests and
sources of revenue. g. The dairy
barn, although a cheap barn as far as
first cost is concerned. is a distinct
addition to the farm. 4. About 24O
rods of new fencing have been built
Same is woven wire bottom topped
with barb wire. thus making a hog,
sheep and cattle-tight fence Spleen
did corral fencing with woven wire
gates were also built. S. The two
and one-half acres in the extreme
southeast corner of the farm. formerly
overgrown with weeds, have been
cleaned off, leveled and will be seeded
to pasture mixture early next spring.
The fence between fields and 8 will
be extended clear across Phyllis Can
al to road and thus allow cattle to get
water from ditch in both pastures, 6.
he lateral ditch which formerly cut
off about one-half acre from this 2h
acres already spoken of has been taken
around the corner at the side of the
public highway. The ditch has been
hlled and the one-half acre is ready for
seed. 7. The old house at the south
east corner of the farm has been NOV
ed to the site of the other buildings.
Part of it has been converted into a
pump and milk house and the remain
der can be made into an Office and
mems house. 8. A cement water
tank lox4x3 has been made near the
dairy, barn and provides an ample
supply of clean, cool water for the
stock both in winter and summer. 9.
The horse barn has been turned
around to face the dairy barn and
moved about 20 feet further south to
place it on line with the other build
ings. 10. A pressure water system
has been installed; this provides water
for the house and milk house and au-
tomatically fills the stock tank when
the supply diminishes to certain point.

Wilson to Face U-BOat
Problem on His Return

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE case OF
the American steamer Columbian, re-
ported sunk off the Spanish coast, will
he laid before President Wilson by the
State Department early next week as
part of a general summary OF recent
submarine operations, construed by
some officials as forecasting radical
change in the German policy.
Information regarding the Columbian
was so incomplete tonight that no Of
fetal would predict what part the case
might play in final determination OF
this governments course. Late IN the
day the American Consul at Balboa
forwarded the report that the vessel
had been sunk thirty miles of Cape
Ortegal and her crew saved, but no
details were given. The dispatch i'm
mediately was called 10 the attention
Of Secretary Lansing.
Points 10 be cleared up before de-
cision is reached involve the questions
OF whether the vessel was fired upon
without warning, whether she carried
contraband and whether she attempted
10 escape.
The report received several days ago
that the Columbian was being shelled
BY a submarine led many officials 70
believe that she probably was running
away, thereby sacrificing her immunity
from attack. II she carried contrsband
and was properly warned the case may
resolve itself into a question OF in
demnity.

fact became established tonight, when
returns from all but three of the 435
Congressional districts were received.
Democratic victory in the three
doubtful districts would still leave
them in the minority, but the winning
of the FIVE members who have been
elected by Independent movements or

Gratis a majority of one. Three OF the
minor party candidates, however, are

dors Since Sport Is Banned

FL Paso, Tex, Nov. 11.-Mexican
comic sports have replaced the bull
fight as the result Of General Car
ranza's edict abolishing bullhghting
throughout the republic. Among the
new sports is the jaripeo, or roping
contest, in which clowns take part.
Instead Of the procession Of fighters
in bright costume clowns in calico cos
tunes stuffed with hay march into the
bullring. They wear comic false faces
and the huge sombreros of the poems
and are stuffed so out Of proportion
that they can hardly walk. They salute
the president of the fight and the
crowds, mocking the manners of torea-
doris.
A bugle blast then announces the
bull. which rushes out and, after dodg-
ing past capes, manages to toss a
clown. who comes down in torn uni
form and a pile of his own hay. The
bulls horns are padded.

Carranza Officers Refuse to Free
Brahan, Despite U. S. Request
[Dy Telegraph 10 The Tribune.


FL Paso, Tex, Nov. 11.-Demand was
made to-day upon Csrranza officials in
Juarez for the release of Benjamin
Brahan, a scout for General J. ].
Pershing in Mexico. Brahan is held
in prison in Juarez as a Villa spy, and
it was stated tonight that he will be
taken to Chihuahua City for execution

Carranza for the Americans release he
will be executed.
Brahan is charged by Carranzistas
with having formerly been a major in
Villas army and with having operated
Villas military trains for him. Cap
tain William Reid, intelligence officer
in Pershing's army, and confidential
agent Of the army here, was in con-
ference through the day with Carranza

lease of the American scout, but with
out success.

thority had been asked Of the War
Department TO enforce the demand for
Brahan's release, which would mean
sending American soldiers into Juarez

Garvin Sees End Delayed
Until 1918 Unless
Entente Acts

London, Nov. 12.-J. l.. Garvin, writ
ing in "The Observer" predicts tina,
unless the Entente Allies come to more
vigorous decisions the war will be pro-
longed far into 1918 as "the result OF
the new outburst Of German energy
on all sides, and the unity Of direc-
tion under Won Hindenburg."
"The Allies in the East have perp.-
trated almost every blunder left to
them TO commit" writes Garvin, "after
a previous record Of mismanagement
that seemed well nigh inexhaustive.
The prospect is not disastrous, but is
disagreeable, as the fault is reparable
only at the cost Of several million
avoidsble casualties and thousands of
millions in money, which might have
been saved.
The glorious chapter of the Allied Of
fensive on the Somme is closed. The
new chapter is beginning, as the Ger.
mans have fully recovered their morale
There will be no breaking through by

Will there be any extensive withdrawal
OF the German lines between Arras and
