Bull Business Men Decide to
Side Track Other Issues
WILL CONDUCT CAMPAIGN OF ED
UCATION THROUGHOUT COUNTY.
Committee WIN Consult With All Poll
teal Parties and Oppose All Not
Favorable.

That county division is still the one
issue uppermost in the minds of the
people of Buhl. was evident at a spe
cial meeting OF the Buhl Business
Mems association last Thursday even
ing in the commercial club rooms, says
the Buhl Pioneer. While the meeting
had been called for the consideration
of this and several other matters, most
of the evening was devoted to county
division discussion.
II was decided to hold a public mass
meeting in the near future, or as soon
as the roads get in condition to travel,
and perfect a county division organiza-
ton. 1t is the intention to have this
organization entirely independent of
the Buhl Business Mems association,
and to have all parts of the Buhl
country represented.
1t was the opinion of nearly every
one that spoke at the meeting last
Thursday evening that the sentiment
throughout the Buhl country is strong
er for county division at this time
than 1t was two years ago, a great
many people having made a study OF
the cost of government in small and
large counties and other phases of the
question.
1t was urged that the campaign be
| conducted along sane lines, and tha
an honest effort be made to convinc'
the people of Twin Falls and the cas-
end that the claims OF Buhl are fai
and just and that If the majority of thu
people down here desire to set up /;
county government they have tina
right, if local self-goyernment means
anything in this country.
President Peck was empowered t.
! appoint a committee TO confer will
representatives of the different poiiti
cal parties and ascertain their position
in the matter and to cooperate will
them 1t is understood that all poll
tical parties will unite in working TO
county division, and that whateve
candidates are decided upon from thi
end of the county will find the peopl
Of the west end lined up solidly TO
them.

HOGS GO MAD ON
DOUGLAS RANCH
Large Herd Affected by Bite OF Dog
While Driving Them-Man Shooting
All Showing Signs of Rabies

Rabies was found in $1,000 worth
of hogs belonging to T. j. Douglas
at Haggardt, on the Hollister line,
and man is kept on guard with
rifle to shoot any animal showing
signs of hydrophobia. One already
has been killed. The hogs are ready
for market, but it will be necessary to
keep guard until sufficient time has
elapsed TO make sure that all affected
have been killed. The hogs were Bit
ten by a collie dog belonging to Mr..
Douglas when separating them three
weeks ago. The dog afterward
showed signs of rabies and was killed.
1t was, of course, not known how
many hogs were bitten at the time
DR.. L. c. Henderson of the bureau
of animal industry informed MIR.
Douglas yesterday that hogs could be
sold for immediate slaughter, as ny
drophobia does not injure the meat
of the animal affected, but that they
could not be moved to distance.

WESTfND SHEfPMAN
fAVORS SMALL FL0CKS
Says Every Man on Tract Should Have
Few Sheep Would Cost Little and
Profit Would Be Big.

That every man on the Twin Falls
tract should have three ewes for every
acre that he has under cultivation. that
this would result in making enormous
profits in spring lambs and that it
would revive the sheep industry Of
Idaho, now declining because of the
fact that the presence OF spring lambs
from ranges, is the story told this
week TO a Pioneer reporter by lead
ing sheepman of the tract, says the
Bull Pioneer.
There are 100000 acres in the
tract" he said, land every acre could
support seven if devoted to that pur-
pose, but this would neither be wise
nor necessary. Suppose that part of
the farm were devoted to the raising
of red clover, enough TO have three
ewes for every acre. 1t is we'll
known fact that the second crop of
clover is the one on which seed is
raised. The first crop could be used
for pasture, and with spring lambs at
present prices. would give a profit of
from $25 to $50 an acre This is three
times as much as the first crop yields
on the average. Then, when the spring
lambs had been sold, about June 20,
the ewes could be pastured for the rest
of the season on one-fourth of the
ground on which the entire fleck had
been pastured, and the rest OF the
ground could be devoted to seed
raising
Much OF the feed for the ewes
could be obtained by allowing them to
clean up the refuse around the bitches
and in the corners of the field
"Many weeds that would otherwise
go to seed could be cleaned up in this
way. Besides this, great deal of good
feed goes to waste every year, prob
ably more than half million dollars
worth, on the tract that could be
cleaned up by the sheep. During the
winter they could live mostly on the
threshed straw from the clover, all oi
which now goes to waste
Every spring lamb sold this yeal
netted from five TO six and a half dol
lars, and the price will certainly &c
higher, for the range spring lamb is
doomed to ultimate extinction by rea-
son of the presence of dry farmers
along the foothills. In order TO great
ly increase their profits and to reha-
bilitate the sheep business in Idaho
all the farmers in the irrigated belt
should keep ewes"

eat me, but go down to the mouth of
the canyon and l will stand at the
head of it and bray and all the other
animals will be frightened and rush
down the canyon and you can get
them as they go by The lion agreed
and the plan worked TO perfection.
When the performance was over the
ass asked the lion how it had turned
out and the lion replied that the re-
suits were splendnd, adding, If l had
not known you were an ass. | would
have fled myself
Dr. Oliver denounced dancing, say
ing thatsit made no difference under
what circumstances it was held, that
it was injurio1S to the morals though
begun with prayer and closed with q
benidiction.
DR.. Oliver strongly urged legislation
on the part of all states governing the
martial relation and WOuld MAKE
all physicians public health officers

case of contagious disease that none
might enter the marriage state witt
one so afflicted. He strongly censur'

ASPHYSIA7ED
In Beer Car Are Two Men, Who
Were Stealing Ride to
the Coast.

LA CROSSE, Wis, March 21.-Two
hunting licenses issued to Eugene and
Hugh Barry, aged 80 and "a years OF
age, were the means by which the
identity Of two men found dead in a
refrigerator car at Transfer was es-
tablished.
The men, sons Of widow residing
in Camp Douglas, left their home to
seek their fortune in the West. They
came to this city, where they visited
friends and iokingly told them of their
intention to bum" their way to Cal
ifornia. A beer car which was loaded
at the Gund brewing plant here, con-
signed to Montana, seemed to offer a
chance for a long ride.
Climbing through trap door which
is used to supply the car with ice the
brothers found themselves locked in
the bunker when the door shut auto
matically, sealing them in a living
tomb. The car was heated with char
coal and when the supply Of oxygen
became exhausted the men made ter
rife struggle to escape. Their bodies
were found blackened and distorted
from strangulation when 1t was
opened at Transfer for inspection.

eve of prohibition elections. 1t was
primarily organized to so to the res
cue Of the temperance workers in Cali

when prohibition was voted on in
those states. The success Of the work,
there everything considered, was so

groups during a period of 255 days.
Other important work Is now being
planned by the squadron, but 1t pros
poses at all times to rush to the aid
of temperance workers in any state
needing assistance. The purposes,
accomplishments and plans OF the or
gantzation were set forth In a very
entertaining and interesting manner
by Mr.. Stewart and he also devoted
some of his attention to new phases
OF the temperance cause.
