ASKS THAT OLD SURVEYS ALONG
RIVER BE NOT DISTURBED

Congressman Addison T. Smith has
taken up with the commissioner of the
general land office, at the request of
settlers on both sides of the Snake
river, between Twin Falls and Clear
Lakes, the resurvey which was made
last summer, with the view of having
the rights of the settlers protected
where the resurvey shows any mater
ial change in the corner. Mr. Smith
contends that settlers who have been
on their land for years, and have re-
ceived patent under the old official
survey, should not be disturbed. The
commissioner has taken the matter
under consideration, and has directed
that the complaints of settlers be as
sembled and the whole matter given
the most careful consideration when
the returns from the survey are re-
ceived at the general land office. Con-
gresham Smith has recommended
that Surveyor General Utter at Boise
or the supervisor of surveys be di-
rected by the commissioner to visit
the section and confer with the settler
and ascertain by personal examination
the complaints and the changes which
it is proposed are to be by the new
survey and the commissioner will
probably take this action.

more than one-half, were cast for D.
w. Davis of American Falls; Governor
Alexander had 145; Captain E. c.
Davis Is; E. H. Dewey 30; ex-Gover-
nor John NJ Haines, 55; G. H. Martin,
Progressive candidate for governor in
1912, had Is; H. e. McElroy of Boise,
Progressive candidate for governor
1910, had rs, and the remainder were
scattered, being about evenly divided
between various Socialist, Democratic
Republican and Progressive leaders.
In judging this result, it must not
be forgotten that the circulation of
THE GEM STATE RURAL is much
larger in the southern part of the
state than in the Panhandle, and that
vast majority of the coupons receiv-
ed came from the south OF the votes
cast for Governor Alexander, none
were from subscribers north of Adams
county; 275 of the $50 votes cast for
d. w. Davis came from the town of
American Falls, and As came from
northern Idaho points, mostly from
two towns in Latah county, the bal
ance of his support being in the
southern portion of the state; the sup
port for Captain E. G. Davis came en-
tirely from the southern portion of
the state, as did the thirty votes for
e. H. Dewey of Nampa, which were all
from his home county of Canyon; ex-
Governor Haines' following is entire
ly in the south, and mostly in the city
of Boise, judging by the coupons; Mr..
Martins votes came from Canyon and
Ada counties, and the 25 for Mr.. Nc
Elroy were scattered over the state,
with none from the north; the scatter
ing 40 votes were for everyone from

TWO MAD COYOTES
AT ROSEWORTH

That the rabid coyote scare is not a
trifling thing in the Roseworth coun-
try, thirty miles southwest of Bull, is
evidenced by the statement of Fred
Hartwell who was in Bull Wednesday,
says the Bull Herald He said that
two mad coyotes had been killed near
the Hartwell ranch during the past
week. Each, however, had bitten sew
eral dogs before they could be shot
One of them put in its appearance
among a band of sheep that was being
watched by Ben Segura, a herder, and
his dog encountered the rabid coyote
to keep it from attacking the sheep
The Seguar dog was bitten, and the
coyote then ran to the Charles Hart
well ranch where he bit four sheep
dogs, before the animal was finally
killed.
The following morning, last Friday
another mad coyote visited a camp
about two miles from the Charles
Hartwell place and it bit three dogs
before it was brought to the ground
with bullet. 1t is not known if there
were other dogs bitten in the neigh
borhood or not, and there may have
been some of the livestock encounter
ed by the rabid animal

Conforming to the proclamation is

Noel has issued a proclamation set

Governor Alexander reads as follows:
Whereas, In order to call especial

znce, II has become customary for the

SUGAR PRICES GO
TOWARD THE MOON
Rise OF More Than a Dollar in Two
Months Reported by Wholesaler
Due to Lack Of Transportation.


Sugar prices have gone up S1.15 a
hundred pounds since January % and
now range from $3.50 a sack for beet
sugar to $S.25 a sack for cane, job
bers' prices" said Manager Kinney of
the Kinney Wholesale Grocery COM
pauy yesterday. This condition." he
continued, 'is due to lack of trans
portation facilities to haul the sugar
from foreign countries to the United
States, and is result of wartime con-
ditions. A strike in some of the re-
fineries some time ago had something
to do with it, but lack of transporta-
ton is the principal cause. There is
a slight rise in some other articles,
but it is scarcely appreciable."
The rise in sugar prices is creating
much interest and speculation in all
parts of the country, and predictions
of a price of So a sack are freely

DIR. CHALFANT EXTENDS THANKS
FOR COOPERATION OF PAPERS

DR.. Charles L. Chalfant superin-
tendent of the Children's Home Find
ing Aid Society of Idaho, in a letter
addressed to the editors of the leading
Idaho papers this week, after extend
ing thanks for the cooperation, takes
few lines to explain the amount of
work done by the organization and to
make statement of the source of its
funds. In this connection he says:
"Over two thousand little ones have
been cared for by this society during
the seven years since its Incorporation
by the state of Idaho. The support
of its work comes from three sources.
Of every three dollars expended in
this charity, one dollar comes from
the state by special legislative appro-
priation, one dollar from the counties
in payment for special cases commit
ted by the county commissioners to
the receiving homes, and one dollar
from individuals, churches, schools,
societies, women's clubs, lodges, ETC.,
throughout the state.
Il feel that this work commencing
the hearty support of the public is
due to you and your paper, and to the
people of your community"

the three met together and made the
award. The winning article, together
with many other of the other commu-
nications, are printed in connection
with this.
The Is articles supporting Cover
nor Alexander for reelection were
contributor from eight of the southern
counties of the state. Inasmuch as
many of the articles are printed in
connection, and speak for themselve/
no extended review will be giYfn.
Much emphasis is placed upon /the
saving of state expenses alleg[ to
have been made by the governor, and
upon his record generally.
Four articles favored the candi-
dacy of d. w. Davis, of American
Falls. Two of these came from Blaine
county, one from Nez Perez county,
and one from American Falls.
The candidacy of Captain E. G.
Davis is supported in an able article
submitted by Thos. T. Kerl of Occur
d'Alene, Kootenai county, and in two
splendid contributions made by citi-
zens of Oneida county, where the cap
tain was born.
Both of the articles urging E. H.
Dewey of Nampa, came from his home
town.
Ex-Governor Haines is the choice of
four of our readers, three of them

STAGE is ATTACKED
BY A MAD STEER

WELLS, Nev.-Stanley Wines, who
is driving the Wells-Ruby stage be-
tween this place and Lurline, reports
rather exciting experience a few
days ago. While driving slowly along
the heavy road his attention was
called to the actions of a steer that
was behaving in a very strange man
ner. When the animal noticed the
stage it made directly for the outfit
and, despite the efforts of Mr.. Wines
to urge his team out of reach, the
steer overlook the stage and spent
some time making attacks upon and
hooking the wagon. Strange TO rel9te
however, the mad animal did not at
too'- tNe hor0es, and after a short
time Mr.. Wines succeeded in eludne
the steer no damage being done. Mr.
Wines states that he does not wish

escing of sentiment in support of the
candidacy of any man, so far as the
Republican editors of the state are
concerned 1t is rumored that the
leaders in the north will get together,
eliminate all aspirants but one in the
Republican primaries, and stand SOL
idly behind him. At the present time
at least two candidates are in the
field from southern Idaho, and it is
expected that one more will enter, and
the northern candidate will then carry
off the bacon. Just how this will
work out remains to be seen.
