HAMMOND & WATSON, Dealers

sired to purchase water for the land
on what is known as the Castleford
butte north of Castleford, rendered the
board $1,000 as first payment on 1040
acres of what is known as the treas
ury stock. The offer was turned down
by the board.
The Castleford butte is mostly high
land, though under the Twin Falls
tract, and this payment was rendered
on what is known as the unsold treas
ury stock. The offer was turned
down by the canal board, though it is
believed that the application for more
water by the Twin Falls attorney is
only the initial steps to carry the
question into the courts, to secure a
court decision requiring water to be
sold from the treasury stock.
The question Of watering the Han
sen butte is big one. To make that
an irrigated section would be valu-
able asset to Twin Falls county and
the entire tract The proposition is
too big to turn down flatly, and the
stockholders in the Twin Falls Canal
company cannot afford to jeopardize
their present water rights by parcel
ing it out, until we are assured that
we have more than necessary water
for the present project.

sold and the proceeds divided equally
between the two companies. Rights
for several pieces of school lands have
been sold since under order of the
court, leaving practically 10000 shares
unsold.
Pursuant to the state contract, water
rights for Carey act lands under this
system must be sold at $500 per acre.
and for school lands at $3.50 per acre.
There are some 5000 acres of school
lands on the tract for which water
contracts have not yet been issued. 1t
is thought if these water rights were
put on the market that large num-
Der of them could be sold to become
appurtenant to lands within this seq
regation, or others lying Immediately
adjacent, and that they would bring
at least $500 per share and possibly
considerably more, although they can
not be sold at a higher price without
the consent of the state land board.
The demand for the selling of these
water rights has been caused partly
by the claim of persons financially in
terested, and partly because of the
large Indebtedness which has accumu-
lated against this corporation, and the
increasing cost of maintaining the
system, it being argued that this in
debtedness and these expenses could
be largely taken care of by the money
to be had in this way.
1t is well known that much water is
lost in our main and highline canals,
and it is certain that this waste must
be stopped sooner or later. If the
water that is now going to waste
could be saved and applied to other
lands, the amount received from these
additional water rights could be used
in putting the canal system in proper
condition, or to discharge interest
bearing debts.

BULL SEED WILL
YIELD A MILLION
Immense Returns Obtained From West
End Farms During the Present Sea-
Son.

Bull is hereafter to be known as
the land of the million dollar seed
crop, says the Bull Herald. This is
the conclusion arrived at in totaling
up the number of bushels of seed pur-
chased by the local seed buyers, and
.nen multiplying that number of bush
els by the average price of SO per
bushel. This seed was sold by the
farmers since the first of the year.
1916. In addition to this, 1898 900
bushels of grain were sold during the
past eleven and one-half months.
The seed crop, as obtained from the
three seed buyers in this city, amount
ed to $1,000 bushels. This figure in
cludes alfalfa, white clover, red clover
and alsike seeds. Allowing that all
the seed was sold at an average of Is
cents per pound, or SO per bushel. the
total crop will have sold for $1,0S9,-
OO.OO- This is said to be conserva-
tive estimate of the price average.
The figures obtained from the four
grain buyers give total of 39S, 6O4
bushels purchased since January /,
1916. The figures were not obtained
for each of the three grains separate

except from two of the buyers. How
ever, the ratio was about five bushels
of wheat, to two bushels of oats and
barley taken together. Estimating
that the grain sold at an average of

amount to about $4S7,00

Thursday evening before the de-
parturc of the Traynham Guards for
inc mobilization camp at Columbia, II
vast through OF men, women and chill
dren gathered in front Of the court
house to bid the soldiers farewell and
Gonspccd. Not in many long day
has such 4 large crowd gathered for
any purpose at night in this city the
evident desire being to express thor
ough appreciation of the courage and
sacrlilccS the men arc showing in go
Ing to the front. Although an air of
liShthcartedncss and good cheer pre-
vailed, there was Il strain Of serious
ness running through the exercises
that lent it impressivcncss and solcm-
nifty. r. t. Eabb, Esq, presided over
the exercises, which had been ar
ranged largely by the ladies of the
United Daughters Of the Confcdcracy
Revolution.
At seven o'clock the ladies served
a substantial and refreshing supper
before which Rev. ]. r. r. IIajor made
short prayer. While the boys were
giving due attention to this part Of
thc program the crowd was gathering
for the celebration which was to fol
low.
When the supper was finished Mr.
l}abb introduced Col. II. Y Simpson,
commander Of the Sons of Veterans
who made an eloquent address in
which he held up for emulation the
example Of Palmetto soldiers in the
Revolution, the Mexican war OF 1916
and the Confederate war of the Six
ties, in which the ancestors OF the
members Of this company made en-
viable records for gallantry and cour-
age. Col. Simpson assured the men
of the deep sense OF appreciation with
which the people Of the county and
country saw them depart for the front,
at the same time adjuring them to
maintain the ideals OF South Carolina
soldiers and to show their loyalty tc
their country by their conduct in bat
tie. In closing his address he asked
them to live clean lives and to fight
against the temptations Of army life,
SO that they could return TO their
homes and their families with records
unblemishcd by any stain upon their
life or character.
Col. Simpson was followed by Hon.

AMERICAN SOLDIERS FOUGHT
WITH GREAT BRAVERY
GIVES CARRANHA
COUPLE OF DAYS

Ii No definite Reply Is Received by
Thursday AitcfGOOn United States
Will Make Move.
Washington, June 27.-There were
clear indications today that if Ameri-
can caralrymcn captured by Mexican
troops at Carrizal were not released
within 4S hours action would be taken
by the United States.
The impression prevailed in. official
circles that President Wilson wouldn't
wait beyond Thursday at latest and
possibly not beyond tomorrow after
noon for definite reply from the car
rama government to the note demand
ing the immediate release of prison
crs and a declaration OF intention.
Special Agent Rodgers, at Mexico
City, reported that he had delivered
the note to the Mexican foreign office
yesterday morning. He didn't indi-
cate how it had been received or when
a reply might be expected.
While the diplomatic aspect Of tho
crisis awaited CarranZa action the
war department drove forward efforts
to hasten the mobilization of the mill
Tia on the border.
1t Is certain no aggressive military
operations can be undertaken until a
substantial number OF state troops are
available to back up Funston's rcgu-
any movement.
President Wilson's first step should
he decide to force the issue would
probably be to lay the whole situation
before Joint session Of congress. 1t is
believed he informed members of for.
cien relations committees of this at
the Sunday conference.

his mer were cut off.
