RAILROAD ASKS FOR MORE TIME
Tell Land Board of Survey Through
Project South Of Snake River

Carl Stradley. CHEZ engineer for
the Oregon Short Line, and Joel L.
Priest, general agent FOR the rail
broad in Idaho. appeared before the
state land board Thursday and asked
that the contract held by the Twin
Falls Land & Water company on the
big Bruneau extension tract be not
cancelled January 1.
The chief engineer pointed out that
the railroad had surveyed a line
through the tract, but explained that
building operations were held up by
the war.
He told the board members that he
believed the state would be making
a mistake in relinquishing the pro-
posed irrigation project to the feder-
al government, since the $4,000 ac-
res embraced in the tract would new
er be suitable for dry farming pur-
poses because of the lack Of rainfall.
The board took no action in the mat
ter.

Idaho Falls.-lExtensive arrange
are being made for the Joint Confer
ence of Agricultural. Live Stock, En-
cheering and Irriga zion Societies of
uary 14-19 inclusive, 1918. This
gathering of more than 20 food-pro-
ducing organizations has been ar
ranged in answer to the call of Pres

rator Herbert c. Hoover for increas-
ed production. and as a result of this
Conference, 1t is hoped that Idaho

a year.
Committees. composed of leading
agriculturists, stockmen and engi-
neers from every section of the state,
have been named in charge of the ar
rangements. which call for the bring
ing to the Conference of dozen or
more government experts to address
the various Societies on varied sub
jects pertaining to the farm and the
care Of stock. Every phase OF the
question Of crops will be gone into
fully. while experts will be here to

Show VIII be conducted in connection
with the annual meeting of the Idaho
State Seed Growers association.
while a potato show will also be
maintained and a manufacturers ex-
position conducted for the benefit of

I'VE believe that the advice that

sentatives to these farmers and stock
men should have wonderful results"

of the Idaho Falls Club of Commerce
and head OF the executive committee
directing the affairs of the Confer
ence. 1.-THE Societies have been in
vited to congregate here during one
week so that the membership of these

derived by all who will have the good
fortune to attend the Conference"

Issue Food Warning

Apropos of the present large con-
sumption of vegetables canned at
home by the so-calied cold-pack meth
cd, warning has been issued by a
San Francisco physician, DR.. Ernest
q. Dickson through rhe columns OF
the Journal of the American Medical
Association. to the effect that food
thus canned should never be eaten
from the can. but for safety's sake
should always be thoroughly cooked
before being eaten
1t appears that a certain poison
Gus germ, bacillus botulinus, some
times develops in food, whether ami
NAL or vegetable, canned by cold
packing. This germ causes severe
symptoms which may terminate in
death, and, according to the San
Francisco physician, 1t is a germ par
ticularly liable to develop In canned
vegetables and fruits. Says DR.. Dick
son:
Under no circumstances should
home canned vegetables which have
been prepared by the cold pack me-
thod be served as salad unless they
have been cooked after their remov-
al from the container.
And until 1t is established what
fruits are suitable for the formation
of the toxin, It will be safer to reheat
all fruits which have been preserved
by this method, even though there
may be no apparent evidence that the
fruit was spoiled. "-Crystal Lake

BRIEFS FROM OLD COUNTRY
Interesting Iteme From the Three
Great Kingdoms Of the North, se-

Their Descendants
BY MARTIN w. ODlAND.
Denmark,

Bassett Digby, the correspondent, In
dispatch from Stockholm says that
the homes OF Denmark will be heated
this coming winter by peat. Then we
have another case of the exigencies
of war founding new national indus
try. Fuel Is Denmark's big problem.
The tightening OF the entente's block
ndc has shut Off more and more sup
piles to Germany, and Germany has
retallated by making difficulties about
the supply Of conl TO Denmark, and
having her U-bonts sink all the coal
barges coming from Britain. Ger
many reckoned on coerclng Denmark
by Withholding fuel, but there Is every
indication that this was another of
the central powers miscalculations,
and that its result will react on them
by taking u peatconverted Denmark
out Of the German coal market after
the war. Since February Denmarks
supply Of coal has been only 30 per
cent of the normal. The dimlnution
hits the gasworks worst. Such coal
as Germany does supply, doubtless
with full cOgniZance of it's powers,
gives practically no coke. Efforts now
are being made to produce water gas,
but as this Is extremely poisonous and
almost without odor, 1t Is the most
dangerous and already has caused
many cases of poisoning in Copenha-
gen. It's production depends, more
over, on coke, so the lack of coke ham
pers 1t, The gasworks of Copenhagen
normally produce half of the 100000
hectoliters of coke warming the
homes of the Danish capital. Now
this huge deficiency has to be made
good. A fuel supply is found In So
called brown Goals underlying the Jut-
land heaths. They are extensively
dug now, but they have as many enc
mics as friends. But the peat supply
Is altogether more promising. All
over the country great gangs of civil
ians and soldiers are cutting peat. and
efforts are being made to place the In
dustry on sound and national basis.
The peat Is found good fuel for indus
trial purposes, as well as home stoves.

than 100000 square meters. Besides.
the government has distributed by lot
terry several hundred plots. Potatoes
are long way the chief crop this year,
green stun being an afterthought AS
a result green vegetables will be
scarce and costly. More than hun

clerks In certain shops will be given
leeway in using their judgment as to
whom to refuse and to whom to give |;
but 1t Is probable that there will be a
drastic supervision or curtailment Of
sending goods on approval and giving
pieces of fabric to curiosity seekers.
The merchants of the country feel
that they have gone too far in leniency
toward customers. Extraordinary waste
has been involved in the system which
is now accepted as the courteous and
convenient one.
Insistence on Black and White.
Despite the fact that the new color
card for 1918 shows IA colors, the
news that drifts over from Paris gives
one a feeling that the adoption Of
black and white will be insisted upon
for the autumn. The smartest women
one sees in this country are emphasiz.
ing unusual and original combinations
Of black and white In their costumes.
White muslins with black hats has
been constant fashion seen at all the
resorts since June. 1t is quite natural
that these two colors should hold
their own despite the introduction Of
anything else, and the woman who be-
lieves in them and considers them
trump cards to play at all seasons of
the year whenever she is in doubt
about the rest Of the fashion game, is
secure in her belief If she accepts the
new innovations.
There are, unfortunately. battalions

New York.-It Is cabled from Paris
that IA colors have been introduced
into our autumn costumery.
This Is joyful news to the dressmak
er as well as to the amateur In color
schemes, but 1t brings a sense OF de-
preston to the artist. The vast as
sembling of colors In one season is
excellent for the commerce Of coun.
try. 1t provides persuasive plea to
be used to coax the coin out of purses
1t gives a clerk something to talk
about; 1t enhances the pleasure OF
shopping to the woman who is never
certain what she wants to wear; II
gives to the inveterate shopper-the
woman who goes from store to store
on pleasure bent, and who does not
buy enough in season to warrant one
shopping tour-another chance to
stimulate her excitement.
One is tempted to speculate on the
reduction of excitement that will come
to that kind Of shopper If the no-sam-
pie law and the no-returned-goods law
come into effect this autumn.
The shopper who finds her greatest
stimulation of the day in vaguely spec
ulating on what she can make out OF
everything she sees, and, to aid in her
meditations on this subject, requests
that samples of each color and materi-
al be given to her, will experience de-
preston If samples are refused and
goods are not sent UP for approval.
The shops of the American contl-
nent are fighting this question today
to the best of their ability. They're
ranging UP all the advantages and dis,
advantages, in two parallel lines and
having great experts find out whether
or not 1t Is advisable to make drastic
change.
Protest Against Wastage.
The cry of the country is against the
wastage of food and fabric, and the
designers are contemplating the cut
ting off of all frills. superfluous pock-
cts and extra bits of cloth that are not
necessary to make clothes smart.
Surely, If the designers are deter
mined to cut off unnecessary inches Of
material in the making Of costumes,
the merchants will find it advisable to
refuse to give samples. The figures
that have been made out by the ex-
perts as to the wastage of fabric in
the giving Of samples by every shop on
this continent read like war statistics.
They deal In billions, instead Of hun
dreds.
The merchants are quite aware that
1t may work to their disadvantage to
refuse samples, and It may be that
