MOST VALUABLE LOADS OF PRODUCE
EVER HAULED IN POWER COUNTY

George Stanger and Edward Howard hauled two
loads of alfalfa seed about 900 pounds to Aberdeen
Yesterday to be cleaned, and returned with o206
pounds of as fine seed as the state can produce 30
noticeable was the quality that L. G. Achre, super
ntendent of the Aberdeen Experiment station, offer
ed Mr. Stanger S15 for his chance to win the $50 prize
for the best alfalfa seed shown at the pure seed show
at Pocatello next week.
1t is believed the seed will find ready sale at ~
cents a pound, making the lot worth $l,Oo(ZO, or
S528.60 per load.
This seed was taken from twenty acres of alfalfa
that looked so thin to be hardly worth cutting for
hay. County Agent Kjosness prevailed upon Mr.
Stanger to let stand and harvest the seed There
were sixty acres in the field and Mr.. Kjosness tried
to induce Mr. Stanger to let it all go to seed but the
latter did not have sufficient faith to do He now
wishes he had because the forty acres cut for hay
would undoubtedly have yielded twice as much seed
per acre as the twenty that was permitted to
mature.
If the seed has the estimated market value Mr..
Stanger will realize $5286 per acre from crop which
ing has had start in Power county. Mr.. Stanger
doubtless others will find encouragement in his
cess to try it.
Mr.. Kjosness has worked faithfully to open up new
sources of revenue to our farmers and the fruits of
his labors beginning to show. He is encouraging
few dry farmers to try alfalfa for Seed and is very
sangune that dry-land alfalfa seed will become one
of the best paying crops our farmers can grow.
Mr. Stanger and the county agent are both to be
thanked for the demonstration that has just been
made.

WILLOW BROOK FARM WILL
EXHIBIT AT POCATELL0
State Seed Show VIII Include Indian
Runner and Marquis Wheats Grown
by Frank kluek.

For the past two years Frank kluck
OF Willow Brook farm, has been work
ing to produce a quality of grain that
will command a market for seeding
purposes. He has tried out several
varieties and believes he has found
two that have enough advantages to
bring them into favor One of these
variety with which Canada carries
off the sweepstakes at all the dry
farm congresses. He was encourag-
ed to try this variety by II. c. Ehrlich,
OF the American Falls Milling com
pany Mr. Kluck, after two years ex-
perience with it is of the opinion that
it is a better yielder than any of the
spring wheats now grown here, and
less liable to injury by frost. In mil
ling qualities it is at least equal to
bluestem, and second only to Turkey
Red.
From the Dry Farm congress at
Denver in 1915 Mr.. Kluck secured an
Australian wheat of the durum va
riety, known as Indian Runner. He
is highly pleased with the results
from his experimental plot, and will
seed larger plot this year. This va
riety was planted in low place where
frost has done damage nearly eve
year and came through unscathed. The
straw is sturdy, heads strong and vel
set, and the grain so firmly held as L
escape injury from an ordinary hal
storm.
Samples of these will be shown a
the Pure Seed convention at Pocatel
10 next week, together with barley
oats, field peas and navy beans

"MURDERED~ BOY ALIVE.
Chum. Under Third Degree Con-
fessed to Have Killed Him.

Baltimore-Carlie Klein "A years
old. disappeared from his home in
Baltimore last June. Detectives ar
rested Richard Allison Barrett, also
Il. the missing boys playmate. The
third degree" seems to have been ap-
piled to the Barrett boy. and he con-
fessed that he had killed his chum and
left his body in a lonely spot near
Pen-Mar, Md. The Baltimore officers
quit the search then and young Bar
rett was sent to an industrial school.
A few days ago Charlie Klein, alive
and very reluctant TO return home,
was found at Cumberland, Nd. where
he had been working for some time.
He had just decided to run away from
home, he said. and he laughed at the
Barrett boys tale of murder.
In explaining the reasons for his
confession" young Barrett said:
"The cops told me so many times
had killed my chum and hid his body
that / began to believe it myself. Sc
1 just told them that really had kill
led him"

HAS FAITH IN DRY LAND
ALFALFA FOR SEED
$. E. LOwary of Roy Confident COndi-
tons Favor Seed Production.

S. E. Lowary of Roy, who came from
one of the best dry Land farming sec
tions of the northern part of the state,
is firm in the conviction that dry land
alfalfa for seed will beat wheat many
times over. Mr.. Lowary has been
here but a year, but has observed con-
ditions closely. His conviction is
firm enough to induce him to try the
matter out. "All that l believe IS
necessary" he said, "is to put the
ground in proper shape and give the
plant a chance, and it will make good. ="
Mr.. Lowary, owing to the scarcity
of feed in his locality, bought hay
near Aberdeen, and is wintering about
fifteen horses there. He had a look
at his horses Tuesday and reports
them doing fine.

RUSH TO TAKE UP LAND
UNDER s40-ACRE ACT
Seventy Applications for Filings Made
on the First Day at the Boise Office,
But All Are Suspended.

The new law permitting the filing on
$40 acres for grazing purposes called
forth sheepmen and farmers to the
Boise land office Tuesday. This act
was only signed by the president Fri
day, and Tuesday was the first day
on which filings might be made. From
3 o'clock in the morning those wish
ing to file upon such land began to
gather at the door of the land depart
ment in the federal building. and up
to 3 o'clock in the afternoon about 20
such filings had been received.
"A telegram was received at the Boise
office Saturday from the commission
er of the general land office in which
instructions were given to receive and
suspend all applications with petition
for designations of the land. A copy
of the act has not yet been received,
and the local office has been receiving
the applications and suspending them
until further advice is received.
The most of those filing on the land
have the appearance of farmers and
men accustomed to work out of doors.
One of these in an interview stated
that he believed that most OF the fl
ings we're being made by those who in
tended to use the land themselves and
not for the purpose of selling to large
corporations, as had been stated by
some would be the case if this the $40
acre homestead act were passed.
However, it was conceded among
them he stated that eventually this
condition would prevail and that the
land would fall into the hands Of the
big stock concerns.

CAUGHT WITH THE GOODS.

Telephone communications to the
sheriff's office Tuesday morning was
to the effect that the drug store at
Rockland had been broken into and
s56 in money had been taken. No de-
finite clue as to who had committed
the robbery was available but suspi-
cion rested on a young man by the
name of Gerritt Steinblik who came
from Salt Lake to ROckland some
time ago.
The sheriff quickly started for the
scene of the robbery and ON the way
met two young men, one of whom
answered the description of Steinblik.
After a short interview with the boys
Steinblik confessed to the orbbery and
delivered over to the sheriff the stolen
money. In his confession he exoner-
ated the young man with him, stating
that he had done the deed alone. In
response to the question OF why he
had done the deed, he stated that he
was away from home and without
money and no work. that he had been
in the Drug store during the day and
saw sitting on the counter a "punef
board" covered with different de
nominations of gold coin and th'
temptation presented was so strons
that he could not resist.

Payable in Ten Annual Installments
without Interest.

The Aberdeen-Springfiel Canal
company, Monday. concluded the pur-
chase of forty thousand acre feet of
the storage waters of Jackson Lake
reservoir, from the reclamation SER
vice The price was $4 per acre, with
out interest and is payable in ten an
nual installments. Negotiations had
been under way for some time. Sew
eral years ago, before the canal was
turned over to the settlers, the con-
structing company, the American Falls
Canal and Power company, entered in
to a contract with the reclamation SER
vice for storage water, but legal OBJ
stacle was encountered which preven-
ted the carrying out of the contract
that had been made. Ever since that
time there has been more or less talk
of concluding the purchase in order
to safeguord the interests of the set
tiers. The canal system is one Of the
best in the state, so far as its con-
struction is concerned, and it also has
q prior water right, the first Carey act
right taken out of Snake river. The
system supplies about fifty thousand
acres of land on the north side of the
river, between American Falls and
Blackfoot, with the bulk of the irri-
gated land lying in the neighborhooc
of Aberdeen and Springfield.

Accident in Sleighing Party Near st.
Anthony Results in Tragedy.

A tragedy which cast gloom over
the little village of Parker. four miles
west of st. Anthony, occurred Wednes-
day night of last week. A party OF
young people were sleigh riding when
Leonard Harper, doubtless to increase
the merriment of the occasion, drew
an automatic 3S pistol from his pocket
to fire it in the air. Before. extend
ing his arm the weapon caught in his
clothing and somehow was discharged
twice. both bullets entering the back
and side of Frank Poulton sitting TO
his right. Either wound was mortal
but the stricken boy fingered until 6
O'Clock Thursday afternoon when he
died.
The victim was the 1S-year old son
of Ira Poulton, an old resident of
Parker, and rural mail carrier for
that distict-
The unfortunate slayer was visiting
fiends in Parker during the holidays.
He is a native of Oakley. Ida. about
20 years old. and makes his home
there with his father, William H.
Harper.
While the shooting was accidental
the county authorities are holding
him for a hearing. and the question
OF whether he will be prosecuted fol
homicide and the carrying of con
cealed deadly weapons will be de-
cided However 1t is understOo1 tha
the parents Of the slain youth do no
desire prosecution. and this together
with the previous good character o
the young man may extricate hin
from his trouble.

David Burrell, the agricultural ed
itor of the Press, departed for Boise
last night to assist in the organiza-
ton of the legislature. 1t devolves
upon him to call the House to order
and swear in the speaker The spea-
ker then administers the oath to the
members, and then that body can be-
gin business. II Dave should get sick
or refuse to administer the oath to
the Democratic speaker-but that is
to awful to think about. But it is a
lot of satisfaction to think that the
Democratic house can not organize
without the assistance Of the Press
