THE TOMB OF ADAM.

General Allenby of the British army seems to be removing the Turks from the face of the earth over in Palestine = the Holy Land. Before capturing Jeru- salem he took Hebron, said to be the oldest city in the world. Hebron is 20 miles southwest of Jerusalem and historians and hieroglyphists tell us it is the supposed" burial place of our distinguished ancestor. Adam His tomb is not an elaborate af- fair. Indeed if all reports are true it is not tomb at all but rather a neglected grave. How ever, the late Mark Twain, while gathering threads to weave into his first great book, 'Innocents Abroad" tells us that while at Hebron he visited and "wept over the tomb of his loved an cestor." Twain evidently 'took a long shot" in this instance for it is only the supposed" tomb of Adam. For all he or any of us know, it might have been the last resting place of some an cient I. w. w. or Stacker" The people of Hebron do not know themselves whether Adam is buried in their midst. They appear to be a poky lot; they do not know whether the town has 10000 inhabitants or 3O,0O0. They never take a census.
 Hebron differs from Nogales in many respects. If Nogales had even supposed" tomb of our departed ancestor, our Cham Der of Commerce would get busy and before the robbins nest again" would erect monument whose hammered copper dome would extend far into the. blue empyrean, thus glorifying the memory of our distinguished re- lative All this would be done if we had to call on the Santa Cruz Club to pull off another car nival in order to properly take care of the financial end of.the enterprise.

The influx OF settlers into Idaho Is
much larger than is imagined by the
most Of our citizens. but statistics
show that this state is getting its
quota OF the immigration from the
eastern and middle states.
AT commercial club luncheon in
Boise last week. d. S. Spencer. gen
eral passenger agent OF the Short
Line. gave some figures that might
be OF interest to our readers In gen
eral. He stated that the records OF
the Union Pacific system showed that
during the present year between Dec
81 and May 81 there were brought
into idaho from the east sos carload
shipments of emigrant outfits, or
an average OF almost 100 carloads g
month Relating these statistics, Mr.
Spencer said. showed that people arc
coming to Idaho. Besides those who
came here with carload lots. there
were hundreds who shipped smaller
lots.
Mr. Spencer followed this with the
announcement that the L. p. system
spends $4,000 annually for colon
lzation purposes. about half OF which
is spent by the Short Line fol tn,
benefit of Utah and Idaho.
r. A. Smith, general colonization
agent for the Union Pacific. spoke o
the outlook for settlers for the west
He said he did not agree with some o
the fasteners who contend that fix
ing the price OF wheat will have I
tendency to keep farmers from in
vesting in more lands. but on the con
trary. he expected a big movemen

particularly urged that the people o
Idaho. the commercial organizations
ascertain the needs OF each commun
ity so that they can cooperate In
telligently with the colonization de
parments of the railroad companie.

must first procure a license. the same

THE NORTH SIDE TRACT AS 1T
Is TODAY AND WHO MADE 1T

During the past eight years the
North Side Tract has had experience
of so varied nature that the most
sanguine of the old time residents, as
they ride over the tract seeing and
noting the wonderful improvements
that present themselves to the eye,
cannot but say. This is beyond my
expectations
Nothing succeeds like success and
now since the tract and towns are
an absolute success. II is amusing to
hear and see this fellow and that
fellow trying to pin on himself the
label: II did It," When, In reality.
the only ones who did It are the
farmers. and by their persistent ef-
forts they have transformed a barren
sage brush waste of $1,000 acres
into most productive agricultural
tract. that cannot be excelled any
where In the United States and but
few similar tracts any where nearly
as good.
OF course II Is not the intention OF
this article to say that many. many
town and nonresident land owners
have not done their bit: in placing
before the public for its inspection
the greatest farming project In the
inter-Northwest. and the man OF the
Nut Tree. Bird Box and celery farm
must be given credit for his many
suggestions and growing of expert.
mental crops. However. when II
comes down to the real facts in the
matter as to who made the North
Side tract II is beyond question that
the acual resident farmer. who has
TILED. farmed and grew his owl
crops. is the fellow behind the gun
and to him and him alone, we take
off our hats and say: We'll done
thou good and faithful farmer. Y IL
are certainly the one who made tn,
North Side tract what 1t is today
and we are for you every Jump II

No BINDING WATER CONTRACT
Land Board Cannot Bind an IrrigA-
ION Co. w Furnish u Specified
Amount VI Water Annually
Capital News.)

Can d contract be drawnt that will
absolutely bind an irrigation company
70 furnish a settler specified amount
vi water annually for growing cropsl
The governor was positive for two
yearsw hile he was the minority men,
Ger OF the state land board that such
contract could be prepared, but he
changed his opinion Friday.
The Blaine County Reservoir COM
pany has been wanting the land board
TO indorse new contract that 1t has
drawn up.
William Story, of Salt Lake, attor->
ney for the company, appeared be-
fore the board Friday and asked the
members to pass judgment on the in
strument that he has written.
The board indorsed it, but not until
after the members had spent the day
in talking the matter over.
Mr. Story appeared before the
board several weeks ago. 1t was
agreed then that the company would
furnish the settlers two acre feet Of
water each year. The contract had
been written at that time, but the
governor refused to indorse it. He
wanted to bind the company on the
clause for the two acre feet.
Let's make it read two acre feet
OF water, no more and no less, said
the governor.
The attorney baked at first, but
finally agreed. He returned to Salt
Lake then to have the contract in
dorsed by the company. When he re-
turned the clause that had been
worked over by the governor read:
Two acre feet of water, no more
and no less. in every average year"
Friday the governor did not like
the changes the company had in turn
, made. The governor and the attor-
( ney came to a deadlock. L. c. Wells.
Carey act agent with the federal gov
y ernment, said there was not a court
in the world that would uphold the
i contract. He insisted that every state
f has years when the precipitation will
be light. The farmers, too, use too
much water, he declared, and a con-
e tract that guaranteed them their two
acre feet would be abused.
i What would you do with the wat
er that would go to waste year after
year in Idaho If every irrigation COM
f pany is forced to keep a surplus sup
e ply in its reservoirs" he asked the
\ governor.
70 IF you will not recognize con-
tract except in instances where the
water supply is sufficient to irrigate
q lands properly in the lean years you
)c are doing your state an injustice. -
he added
h 1T would make It impossible fol
# you TO reclaim more than a fourth oi
the agricultural area of the state and
ell you would lose half of your popula'
ton"
la Late in the afternoon the governor
gave in and Attorney General Wal
y ters and Attorney Story retired from
iy the board room and struck out thu
the offending sentence: two acr'
Dc feet of water, no more and no less
IN IN in every average year" The contrac
was then signed.
