MORE PAY FOR OUR
SOLDIERS ON BORDER

The senate last week put an
amendment into the army appropria-
tion bill providing for an increase
in pay for all soldiers, officers and
men, regular army and state militia,
who are in active service on the
Mexican border. This will be appre-
ciated by them in their present situa-
tion as there r a good many little
necessaries that can be used to make
life easier.
At the same time they were
authorized to cast their votes in the
coming presidential election while in
the field. This passed the senate
without opposition.
Part of the appropriation is set
aside for improving the health con-
ditions Of the camp, by the addition
Of wooden floors to the tents and
screens to the doorways.
Under this bill the officers and
men will receive increased pay just
the same as if they were in service
on foreign soil, which means a 10
per cent raise for officers and 20
per cent for enlisted men.

INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION
TO SETTLE BORDER TROUBLE
Intimated That Carranza is to Retire
For the Fall Elections as
Candidate

WASHINGTON. = Washington Off
Gals expect an early agreement to a
joint international commission plan
settling border difficulties, following
the dispatch last night Of a note to
Carranza accepting his offer. United
States suggested the commissioners
be empowered to discuss the whole
Mexican situation.
The state department insists the
whole Mexican question be settled
permanently and wants to discuss the
economic and financial problems of
Mexico, in order to restore perman-
ent peace and order. This is con-
sidered a matter of first Importance.
Probably the commission will be able
to meet inside of two weeks. The
state department insists the confer
ence be held within the United
States.

ceeded by General Pablo Gonzales,
according to information given out
by Mexican administrative circles in
Nuevo Laredo, Sunday night.
General Carranza will enter the
field as a presidential candidate at
the forthcoming election this fall,
apparently confirming unofficial adj
vices from Mexico City which init
mated that the first chief would seek
elevation to the presidency at the
hands of the voters.

THE SETTLERS ON THE PLAINS
Continued from page two

ing the can and didn't know it. Rid
ers observed the delay and closed in
to get them started, and in the rusty
pack observed that cattle were van
1shing. 1t required some time to re-
verse, and when they did the 1O0-foot
can of beef vas ready to seal. .
Couldn't Count His Steers
The owner Of the herd presented
a claim to the county for pay for
the cattle, but he did not know ex-
actly how many had gone into the
hole. He knew how many he had
before he got to that part Of the
country and he knew how manw he
had left when he got to Snake river,
but he could not go into details and
say just how many went down into
that stone jar. That suggested the
necessity for taking them out and
counting them, and you know it
would be no fsherman's fun to fish
those out. The commits
sioners got scared and sent a force
out there to scrape in dirt and seal
the can so travellers could stand it
to pass, and SO nothing else could
fall into it. The worlds fair at
Chicago had no such can of beef as
this.
just Missed a Fortune
After the first we'll was sunk and
before the beef canning incident,
somebody tried sinking a well in a
big basin half a mile east of the
road, and after getting down about
100 feet decided to try in another
place, thinking to find a place where
there was no lava. The next well
was started 100 feet away and it was
sunk thru lava to a depth of 240
feet. According to modern surveys
Of the water level as it is now known
to exist, they would have gotten
plenty Of water if they had gone
down another 80 feet, or IL they had
put the two wells together they
would have had 20 feet of water,
pure and cold. But they quit broke,
leaving the holes open.
Initiating the Promoters
About ten years ago 1t was very
fashionable in business circles to sur
vey a storage reservoir, get a permit
from the state, hove some lands seq
regated to be reclaimed by the pros
pective stored water, and proceeded
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1916-08-04

to sell water rights to get money to
build a dam to store the water. A
man named Joe Tilden, who was
broke and hauling posts from the
lavas, tried to apply this principle
to storing snow water in the big fiat
where the two wells were. He plan
ned to draw it off and water some
lands below it, but like all the other
reservoir projects, it had it's draw
backs. His dam washed out and the
water wasted. He could make a lake
of a 1000 acres but it was shallow
and soon soaked away so much that
he could not draw what was left at
~irrigating time, and he changed his
plans and decided to farm the res
iervoir itself. He found that the snow
water soaked it to a depth of 10 or
Is feet, and he tried sowing winter
wheat. Each time he did this it
%smothered by the water standing on
it in the spring, so he shifted his
plans to spring wheat and is succeed
ing. Mr.. Tilden has had seven years
of experimentation and seven years
of near success. Some hard citizens
operating on the desert stole a great
deal Of property and implements, and
Mr.. Tilden not only lost most of what
he had at the hands Of such people,
but was charged with the theft of
some Of his own property when he
ran them down and took it away
from them. They landed him in jail
and while he was confined there all
he had left was stolen, even his house
and stable being hauled away. When
he got out he started all over again,
and recently had the satisfaction Of
seeing the leader in the gang sent
to prison for a long period.

This stock he has cistern water which

WATER SUPPLY.

Hogs need a supply Of fresh, clean water, where they
can drink as often they become the least bit thirsty
They thrive much better when drinking small quantities
frequently than when forced considerable
time without water and theiNcOnSumc lar8eamanS Dirty
water hurts digestion and is of the chief carriers OF
disease On most farms the returns from the feed
greatly eSsened because the hogs do not have abund
ant supply of clean water close to them that they will
drink often. Gains are cut down quicker by an under
supply of water than by too little feed
convenient way to furnish clean water is to use an
automatic hog waterer that be attached barrel
tank These devices have small drinking pockets just
outside the barre and when hog drinks out of one OF
these pockets fresh flows into it from the barre
TheFbarrel may be mounted sled be filled every day
and taken to any field where there hogs AS long
there is any water in the barre the hogs will have clean
drink and each field will be we'll supplied with water
as though there good wells in it. These automatic
aterers cost 81 less each and every farmer in the cot
ton belt should have sufficient number to supply the
needs of his hogs
1t is not safe to water hogs from running stream
the stream is likely to carry disease.

JARBIDGE CASE TRIED
IN SAN FRANCISCO
j. NJ. Hourly Charged With Obtaining
Money Under False Pretenses Up In
Federal Court.

The return of w. G. Greathouse
from San Francisco, where he was
called to testify in a federal case
against J. M. Hourly, brings back to
the minds of those who have lived in
this section for some time and who
are familiar with mining deals, the
situation which developed against
Hourly, says the Elko Free Press.
The case in Frisco was brought to
fight extradition of Hourly from Cali
fornia to Utah on the grounds of OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses,
and Hourly made a strong fight, ac-
cording to Mr.. Greenhouse.
Commencing some time in 1915 and
continuing, ]. NJ Hourly represented
himself as being a mining promoter
having large properties which he
sought to interest the public in and
thus get working. He finally repre-
sented that he purchased property in
Jarbidge, and filed papers in the coun-
ty recorders office here to that eff
feet, it is alleged.
Making an extensive campaign all
over the country and into the south
and east, Hourly undertook to dispose
of shares in these holdings, but in the
/ Aliuob VI IL oil Wdo ldhCu very III,
removed to California and placed in
hospital. Owing to his illness which
was of long duration, he was not in
position to undertake the opening of
the properties, and parties to whom he
had ostensibly sold shares, procured a
warrant for his arrest on the charge
of obtaining money under false pre-
tenses-also seeking to remove him
from California to Utah for trial.
Mr.. Greathouse was called as a wit
ness to testify as to the filing of the
papers in the recorders office here,
and it is understood that Mr.. Great
house testified that no papers had
been filed in the office as alleged by
Hourly.
The Judge presiding over the case
stated at the close of the trial that he
would decide the matter Tuesday, OF
yesterday, but it has not been deter
mined how the matter was settler as
yet.
Mr.. Greathouse enjoyed his trip tC
the coast very much, and made the
most of his time while there though
his stay was, of necessity, short. HI
was glad to get back to EllSo, however
, for There's no place like home" anC
, popular w. G. is a great man for be
lieving this is the best little spot in tn
