PAINLESS CURE
Of DRUG HABIT
New Method, Resembling
Twilight Sleep, Ban
iShes Torture
IS DEVISED
BY PHYSICIAN

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Dec. pa
new cure for the drug habit has been
tried upon 100 adult addicts at the
Polyclin.c Hospital.
The cure differs from any other
known drug treatment, inasmuch as
Il purgcs the patient Of his craving
for narcotics without the mental and
physical torture which usually ac-
companies such a process No mar
rotics are used-in the treatment. The
patient is placed in a-sort Of a twi-
lght sleep, and remains in that state
during the period Of pain and craving.
The new treatment was devised 10y

the special citizens committee APP

United States Attorney Francis Fisher
Kane TO investigate the ramitcations

dclphia and vicinity
For years drug experts all over the
world have been seeking cure that
could be applied without that agony
which accompanies gradual with
drawal OF narcotics. Contemplation
of these W thdrawal pains have pre-
vented thousands OF men and women

Making Alfalfa Meal.

Alfalfa meal probably is best for
stock food when mixed with molas-
SEES. Something of a shortcut was
recently secured in Arizona by grind
ing up alfalfa hay and sorghum cane
together. This was done largely for
demonstration purposes. and results
we're excellent. The hay was fine
and very dusty and the juice of the
cane not only seemed to check the
dust, but came out mixed thoroughly
with the meal. making what was to
all intents and purposes an alfalfa
meal-molasses mixture. Ground feed
is very nutritious and liked by stock !;
molasses adds much to the palatabil-
ity OF all meal feeds. going particu-
larly we'll with alfalfa meal, and this
was a system that made the finished
product in one grinding. Milo maize
in the head was also ground in the
mill.

Pocatello May Get Ford Assembling
Plant

From present indications Pocatello
is to become the location of big as
sembling plant of the Ford Motor
Car company for this section of the
northwest territory, says the Poca-
tello Tribune.
c. E. Gordon, territorial represent
alive for the Ford people. has been in
the city for several days, looking over
the situation, securing data regard
ing land, facilities. shipping rates
and the like, and has conversed thor
oughly with business men regarding
the project, and is convinced that
Pocatello is the ideal location for
general distribution for the territory
that is now covered by either Port
land or Denver, and has points OF
superiority over Salt Lake, which is
making a bid for the assembling
plant.
Mr. Gordon, it is understood. has
turned in the recommendation to hi!
eastern connections, with the recon
mendation that Pocatello be selected
for the establishment.

The Silver Lining That Is Lifting the
Cloud Here.

Two of the three great basic indus
tries of the Inland Empire-farming
and mining-are producing wealth at
an unparalleled rate, due mainly to
the high prices being obtained for
their principal products. The unex-
ampled prosperity now being enjoyed
by wheat raisers was undreamed of a
few years ago. During the decade
ended In 1914 the Inland Empire pro-
duced annually about 90,O00,00O bu.
of wheat. The crop harvested last
fall and not yet fully marketed. is
conservatively estimated as between
As, 900, 900 and 50,000.OOO bushels
The net price realized by the growers
during the 10-year period averaged
about 20 cents bushel. This year
the farmer is receiving 81 bushel
In other words, the annual value o.
the entire wheat crop of the Inlant
Empire to the producer heretofore
has been around s22,500,00O. Fo
the 1916 crop the farmer will receiv
double that sum and practically al
| of the increment has been profit.

Idaho becoming Great Hog state.

Idaho has become a great hog

One thing certain. the hog Is mere

business which we need to tie TO-
soms of the evils of which we com

THE BONDS ARE DEPOSITED.
$500. 900 In Gold Bonds Now In the
Hands OF the Land Board as Adj
dltionAl Security for the
Completion OF This
System.

Az was stated last week, at about
the time our readers were perusing
the columns OF the Times, Manager
Shepherd OF the Bondholders' Com
mittee. was before the state land
board making the transfer OF these
bonds. Speaking OF this, which IL
one OF the most important transac-
tons that has occurred on the tract.
the Capital News OF last Friday
says
There WAS 100000 In gold bonds
deposited with the state OF Idaho to-
day on behalf OF the bondholders OF
the Twin Falls North Side project to
guarantee completion OF the irriga-
ton system az per the terms OF the
agreement entered into between the
state land board and the bondhold-
ers' representatives. The transfer OF
the securities was made by Manager
Shepherd. who is operating the pro-
ject on behalf OF the land board.
The securities were placed with the
state treasurer. They will be return
ed to the bondholders on final COM
pletion OF the project which will be
within the next year or so.
Members OF the land board are
hopeful that the depositing OF the
securities will settle many OF the diff
fculties confronting the north side
project. and that the work OF COM
pleting the irrigation system will be
carried on until 1t is finished. The
settlers on the project have been de-
handing action. The bondholders
are anxious to have the project com
pleted and II is believed that II Will
be within the time specified. In the
event It is not and the securities are
forfeited thereby the state may then
dispose of them and use the funds
raised thereby to finish the work.
There should now remain no ques-
ton OF doubt in the mind OF any set
tier on the tract as TO the Intention
of the bondholders' committee TO
complete the system. and the TACT
that the bonds have been deposited
with the land board indicates the
solyency OF the constructing COM
pany and hence 1t is proper to as
sume that the courts will refuse to
appoint a receiver for the tract as
asked for In the case now before the
court.
Conditions at the present time
should be a subject for congratula-
tions by every settler and land holder
ON the tract and the removal OF any
doubt as to the completion OF the
systsm. should encourage all to go
forward with their improvements
and development. Everything pres
taxes the greatest year of prosperity
that has come to the tract and II
now only remains for the settler TO
get busy and get his crop In early
that he may realize the fruits OF MS
labor In a bumper crop next fall.

Stevens Was the Man.

A case has Just been heard in the
supreme court of this state in which
]. NJ. Stevens plead for the discharge
of w. w. Lottridge from the peniten-
tiary on the ground that he had been
illegally tried and convicted, due to
the fact that the prosecuting attor-
ney's information was never present
ed to the jury that tried him, and
the further fact that the Judge pre-
siding at the trial committed three
errors in ruling against him to de-
prive him of rights he was entitled
to in the trial. Lottridge was con-
nected with bank at Leadore
Lemhi county, and has served some
three or four years on what Stevens
assures the court was an illegal con
viction, and unless released will con
tinue to serve his indeterminate sent
encs of from / to IA years.
A very striking part of the inciden
is that ]. NJ. Stevens is the man VIII
sat as judge in the case and commit
ted the errors or whatever they ma
be called.-Blackfoo Republican.

Great as is the present prosperity
of the farmer It is equalled. II not
surpassed by that of the miner. Zinc
is commanding Is cents a pound, as
compared with an average of less
than 6 cents over long period OF
years. Copper is snatched greedily
at 20 cents a pound or more. where
Is cents a pound used to be grudg-
ingly paid. Lead brings over &C
pound in place Of fraction over 4.
Silver is selling for 81 cents an ounce
instead of around so cents.
These advances in price have been
responded to with an increase In pro-
duction equally magnificent. The out
put OF the silver-lead mines OF the
Occur d'Alenes and of the SLOGAN sec
ton of Kootenai In particular have
been doubled In tonnage. The produc-
ton of zinc in these same districts
has advanced from total that was
nearly negligible to an impressive fig
ure and great new reduction works
for ores of that character foretell q
still larger output in the immediate
future. The copper mines OF Ross
land, the Boundary country, Chewel
ah and other sections tell the same
story of doubled or trebled produc
ton and all of them report a steadil,
swelling volume of dividends.
Over long period of years OF grea
prosperity in the Occur d'Alene dis
trict the gross value of the annua
output of its mines varied from SIS,
100000 to s17.O0O.00O. with annua
dividend distributions of $3.500,00
to 100000. This year, basing tn
estimate on the earnings of its prip
cipal mines during the last quartz
of 1915 and the present productio
and price for metals, 1t appears to b
certain that the net earnings wi
closely approximate the gross valu
of the production of few years ag'

Must Clean Your Orchards.

Unless infested orchards are spray

erning horticultural work and in
spection, regardless Of whether or
not they are in or outside Of cities or

has been given by the state horti-
cultural inspector or his deputies.
the orchards will be cut down or
otherwise destroyed. This was de-
cided upon at a meeting Of the state
horticultural board.
Every grower of fruit knows, or
should know, the necessity Of keep
ing his orchard clean and free from
disease" said Horticultural Inspec-
tor Guy Graham. Friday. But for
the sake of bringing the matter to
the notice of those who do not know

tic. The board has decided that II
must be observed. In cities and
towns, where the orchard may be
small, there is danger OF the disease
whatever it may be, spreading tt
valuable shade trees. 1t is unneces
sary to state that the majority o
commercial fruit growers are famil
lar with the law, and they know
= that by observing It they come gu

Ii is understood, however, that n
action, such as destroying an infect

Growing OF Glover Seeds.

(From an Interested Seed Grower.)
Our attention has been called to an
article appearing in recent issue Of
one of the largest and most reliable
farm papers published In the state
of New York. 1t states the most |
successful seed growing district in
the U. 8. is the Snake river valley of |
Southern Idaho and particular men
ton Is made OF this most profitable |
crop grown In and around the towns
of Jerome and Wendell.
Is 1t any wonder that we become
somewhat chesty when these big
farm papers see fit to give this sec
ton space IN their columns, and bas-
ing their articles on actual facts and
true and correct production of the
wonderful seed crops grown on the
North Side tract? Is 1t any wonder
THAT land buyers and renters by the
dozens have and are coming into this
district, establishing homes foi their
families, with the absolute assurance
OF happiness and contentment? The
fellow with the hammer is complete
ly eliminated and about the only one
he can get to entertain his pessimis-
: tic views and ideas is he, himself.

Electrifying the Railroads.

The success attained through the
introduction of electric locomotives
on the Milwaukee system through the
mountainous region that 1t traverses
is fast claiming the attention OF 9th

through a rough country where the
grades are numerous and heavy. With
all the electric energy available In
Southern Idaho. 1t would not be sur

this system In the no distant future.
1t has been stated that the trains
on the Milwaukee sysem are being
pulled across the mountains with
much more ease and less expense by
the electric locomotives than wal
formerly done by steam power. Il
is stated that on the down grade. In
stead of consuming electricity, thu
locomotive actually produces 1t, re
turning to the trolley wires a larg'
per cent OF the power used in climb
ing the grade. Though no air brake
are used, the train is held in com
