HAPPY OVER THE
Vote He RECEIVED
Congressman A d dis n T.
Smith Tells of Work
Done by Congress.

ut was certainly some birthday pres
ent / received this year-my renomi-
nation for congress by such "a flattering
vote" remarked Congressman Addison
T. Smith, who arrived in Boise this
morning from his home at Twin Falls.
II feel very grateful for the splendid
support given me at the primaries. II
is most gratifying to know that the
people appreciate my efforts to serve
them at Washington. as indicated by
the vote received.
THE west Jared very we'll at the
hands of the present congress. Politics
cuts no figure. The congressman from
the public land states, Republicans.
Democrats and the long Prohibitionist,
worked together unitedly for the sue
cess of measures affecting the west
without regard to the politics of the
member introducing the bill. Soon after
congress convened we effected an or
ganization of the western members for
the purpose Of uniting on legislation
of interest to the west. Congressman
Ed F. Taylor. Democrat, of Colorado,
was selected as chairman and as sec
rotary. We held frequent meetings to
discuss the various measures to be ad-
for consideration 1t was my duty as
secretary to notify the members to be
on hand. Without this organized eff
fort we never could have secured the
100000 appropriation for road build
ing In or leading into forest reserves.
Several of the bills I proposed were
enacted, the most important being the
law providing for the creation of lien
on homesteads, desert entries as well
as the unentered lands within irriga-
ton districts organized under state
laws. have many letters from prom
inent irrigation lawyers over the west
stating this is the most important law
which has been enacted affecting the
arid lands since the reclamation law
was passed. For the last 20 years this
legislation has been urged by irrigation
experts, but no progress was made.
Another important measure provid-
ing for the exchange of school sections

NOT TO
Be DISCHARGED
Boise Man Receives Letter
Giving Departments
Statement.

Idahoans will be interested in the
announcement that students from this
state, either college or high school, en-
listed in the Second Idaho infantry and
now on the Mexican border with their
command, cannot be released immed-
lately, and that this is equally true Of
other regiments. There are many of
them enlisted and to discharge them
all would seriously disorganize a num-
Der of the military units. They may,
however. be released from duty later so
that they can take up their studies.
Duncan Johnston of 1901 North
Twelfth street whose son, Duncan. Is
with the Second Idaho and like many
other collegians desired to return to
school, took the question OF release up
with Senator William E. Borah and
from him received the following let
ter:
Washington. D. c., Sept. II. 1916.
Dear Sir:
Il have your letter of Sept 8, re-
garding your desire to have your son,
Duncan Med Johnston. mustered out
of the military service so that he can
attend school. l have had this matter
up with the adjutant general of the
army at the war department and he
has advised me as follows:
"'When the first order was issued
with regard to students in colleges and
high schools, who were enlisted in the
militia regiments, It was hoped that
the number would be found to be SO
small that their discharge could be
authorized so as to enable them to re-
hAi oh al ,1,fr
tigation, however, demonstrated that
the number is really very large and
that serious DETERMINATIONS of many
militia units would take place If a
general discharge of students were
ordered. Purely student organizations,
like the Yale battery. which were got
ten together, not really to make them
parts of the state militia, but for train
ing purposes, have been directed to be
released from the mobilization order,
but beyond that for the immediate
present. 1t Is not possible to go. 1t Is
hoped, however, that before very long,
conditions in the Mexican problem will
so far improve that 1t will be prac-
ticable to relieve all of these citizen
soldiers from their present service,
and that this will take place soon
enough to prevent any serious loss of
time to the student class
81 have gone into the matter care
fully, but the war department seems to
be determined to allow no discharges
of members of the National Guard at
this time for the purpose of attending
school.
Il have been very glad indeed to
look into the matter for you. and re-
greet am unable to send you more en-
couraging information at this time.
VERY respectfully,
WILLIAM e. BORAH."

DEATHS--FuNERALS

At the funeral of Jonas w. Brown,
held yesterday afternoon at the First
Methodist church. honor was paid to
the life and deeds of the noble pioneer,
who on Friday answered the last call
and stepped out to the great beyond.
The services were largely attended.
Rev. Willsie Martin. pastor of the
church, paid a glowing tribute to the
life of active service given by Mr..
Brown in behalf of humanity. The
casket was banked high with flowers
and many of the tributes of esteem
came from points outside of Boise. At
the grave the beautiful Masonic SER
vice was read and not only were mem
bers of the Boise lodges in attendance,
but goodly number from other points
in southern Idaho, who has been ssso-
ciated with Mr. Brown In his active
work for the order.

WHITMAN SEEKS
THE NOMINATION


Governor Whitman will be renomi-
mated on the Republican ticket tomor-
row although he will be opposed by
State Senator William M. Bennett
The governor has the advantage of an
army Of state appointees to compose
his personal machine to get enrolled
Republicans to the polls. Senator Ben
nett, however. has been waging a Wig
orous campaign. He has loudly con-
demned the Whitman administration
for Its alleged extravaganza and es-
pecially for neglect of the soldiers sent
from this state to the Texas border.
Judge Seabury, who was grudgingly
Endorsed by Tammany Hall. is certain
to be the Democratic nominee for gov
ernor. For the Progressive party NOM
ination he Is believed to stand an ex-
cellent chance of defeating Governor
Whitman In the primary as he has
twice proved his popularity with the
Progresives, three years ago when he
was the nominee OF the party for as
sociate Judge of tt e court of appeals,
and two years ego when he was again
nominated for the office of both Pro-
gresives and Democrats.
Governor Whitman bases his claim
for Progressive support on the ground
that he has appointed Oscar 8. Straus
to the Craftsmanship of the public SER
vice commission at $4,000 year and
on other fayors shown leaders Of the

THE PROGRESSIVE VOTE.
There are nearly $4,000 Progressive
enrolled voters in New York state who
will be eligible to decide between Gov

improbable that more than from one
third to one-half of this number will
go to the primary.
The petition which placed Governor
Whitman's name on the Progressive
primary ballot also placed there the
names Of the six other Republicans
who are candidates for nomination to
state offices. Judge Seabury, on the
other hand. is the only Democrat on
the state ticket who is contesting for
the Progressive nomination.

Well, by all means let us have
a new court house, and let us
build it at such a place that We

Local patriotism need not be so
pronounced as national or state
patriotism, but it is a most desir-
able thing to have. Every citizen
should stand up for his home
town and If there are things in it
that ought to be got rid of, as is
very likely, then instead of pro-
claiming to the world from the
housetop its imperfections, let
him like true man do his best
to get rid of the evils. And If
the town has some advantages,
as it doubtless has, let him be
thankful and seek to add to their
number, but let him not take all
the credit to himself. Likely
others have been doing their
share.

THAT COUNTY SEAT

We, in the northern part of the
county, do not care a great deal
whether Pine City or Hinckley
gets the County Seat; but what
we do care for IL. that it be To-
Gated at such a place where we
may have a chance to visit it once
in awhile without being obliged
to apply for q weeks vacation.
We would not even want to have
it located at Askoy or Bruno, be-
cause we do not want to have
the rest of the county experience
all of the Inconvenience that We
now are subject to.
After having thought the mat
ter over thoroughly we have
come to the conclusion that
Hinckley is the only place in the
county that Is so situated that it
is quite easy of access from all
points of the county. Nearly
everyone living in Pine County
will be able to leave home in the
morning. attend to their business
at the County Seat and be home
again in the evening.
| am sure that everyone in the
county will admit at least to their
own inner self that Hinekley is
the proper and logical place at
this time to build a new court
house. OF course we do not ask
that the people of Pine City
should come out and admit this
publicly: it's only natural that
they should try their utmost te
retain what they have. Ever
we. at Askov, try to hold on tt
what we have. But there il one
thing that the good people Of
Pine City should be willing K
admit. and that is that the eour'
house is not good enough as it is
and that 1t IN a waste of none,
to try to fix 1t up.

studied from year to year TO note the
habits of growth. amount of winter
killing, yields. aud SO on.
The study of comparisons was begun
in 1911, when the varieties had all at
tanned full maturity and were produc
ing full crops. Good stands of all va
rieties were obtained the first year. 4
study of Individual years showed the
Turkestan. Sand Lucern. Grimm and
Montana seed to be about equal in
yield. none OF them showing any win
ter killing the first two years. The win
ter of 1912-l3 was, however. very Sc
we're. and much alfalfa wus killed all
over the state. The spring of 1918
showed various degrees Of winter kill
ing I'm all the varieties except the
Grimm and the native seed. These va
rieties. the Sand Lucern and Turke-
stan. have shown no winter killing
since: the other varieties have 20 II
slight degree.
The question therefore arises, Has
the type of the plant anything to do
with its hardness? Probably it has.
This brings up rhe question, Is the
Grimm variety of sufficiently higher
value to make 1t worth while TO pay
the advanced price for the seed? The
study of types Is an important one, and
the farmer is interested I'm the one that
will make the most hay. VIII the
Grimm do this? Results show that 1t
does on account of it's resistance to
winter killing. Ii there were the same

plants of the Grimm stand. Ii has not.
however. such a great advantage over

cost of seed and yield per acre,
AT the Colorado station the Baltic
variety has outyielded the Grimm, The
two varieties are much alike and prob
ably Of the same origin. The habits OF
the Grimm, however. commend this
type to favor. Its heavy stooling habit
produces finer stems and more leafy
hay. The underground shoots and feed
ing roots near the surface make ii more
hardy aud resistant 10 winter killing
and late spring frost.

Experiments Show That Grimm Is a

The questions are often asked: why
does one variety of alfalfa stand
through the winter better than an

more? Why Is the Grimm variety so
handy?" These questions have been
given great deal Of study at the

the past five years.
In 1909 eight varieties Of alfalfa
were planted ut the same time, at the
same rate on the same kind Of soil. A
