usual Demonstration
UNEXCELLED IN UALITY

T. E. Short is back from four
months on the coast and in Colorado.
and is again taking an active part in
buying potatoes at the office of the
Clarke Fuel & Ice Co. ~
7 Mr.. Short spent some time in the
Greeley potato district and found
that growers there have been restor-
ing their poatato fields by planting
Idaho seed from the Snake river
valley. They are profuse in their
acknowledgment of the superiority
of the product as shown by both the
yield and the quality of potatoes
when compared with the crop raised
from other seed on similar soil. \.
Mr. Short took orders for several
carloads to be filed from this To-
cality for planting next spring, and
reports that the water shortage in
Colorado reduced the yield seriously.
He says the prospects are good for
steady market at good prices, and
Idaho farmers need not fear the con-
sequences of holding their potatoes
IL they care to- do that.

Salt Lake Water Il.

The cost Of water for domestic
purposes in Salt Lake City are In
striking contrast with the rates at
Blackfoot as shown by d water

a few days ago.. He has the premises
at No. 1853, 18th East street and

to June 80, 1920, for q five-room
house. 160 yards Of lawn (about
33x45 Il feet) one both. one closet.
and the total water bill for twelve
months was $11.S0.
Z Mr.. Parkinson says he had all the
water he needed for the lawn the
past summer, and he expresses the
hope that Blackfoot will wake UP
and take steps to secure gravity

spring, and make the supply per-
manent, so it will come down to us

Kidnaper Escapes
From State Pen
Given Privileges of Trusty, Dean
With Companions Digs Thru Cell
and Climbs Wall to Freedom
HEADED TOWARD salmon

BOISE.-Leonidais Dean, convict,
sent from Idaho Falls, Bonneville
county, several years ago on kid
naping charge with two other con-
victs, made his escape from the
state peniteniary Thursday night.
Dean with the two other men had
been returned from the prison farm,
where they worked all summer and
on account of their good behavior
were granted the privileges of
TRUSTEES. They were placed in the
old cell house building that is used
to shelter the short term prisoners
and TRUSTEES. and during the night
managed to dig out. Making ropes
of their blankets they got over the
prison wall and got, away.
Their absence was noted at day
light the next morning and the search
for them taken up. They are be-
lieved to be headed toward the Sal
mon river section of the country and
all officers in that section have been
warned to look for them, The men
took blankets 1 Ete Rs ,s planning mnRins
their get away. A posse of state
prison guards is after the men.
Dean is well known thruout
southeastern Idaho, where he kid
naped a .porminent stOckman and
rancher by the name of Empey,
keeping his prisoner hidden in the
hills for a number Of days while
neighbors and officers searched for
him.
The case is we'll remembered thru
out Bonneville county. The man in
question, Adrian Empey, was taken
prisoner by the man Dean, a sheep
herder, and taken to secluded spot
back in the mountains. Dean sent
word to relatives of Empey that they
must pay ransom for the release Of
the man. Friends of the kidnapped
man, and officers kept up search
for him for several days. Empey
finally managed to get away from
his captor and made his way down
into the valley. Dean, realizing that
his victim had gotten away, tried to
get out of the country and was cap
tured over near the Gray's Lake
section at a ranch house, where he
applied for something to eat and
where he was recognized. He was
tried and given the prison sentence.
Dean has tried several times to get a
pardon. At the time he was sent
enced there was no law to fit the
crime and he was convicted on the
charge of stealing goods from sheep
camp.
During the last session of the leg
islature Representative Leo J. Mel
sen of the Ammon section, the home
of Empey, had passed a measure
which provides penalty for kid
naping.

HEAVIEST SEASON 3
FOR RAILROADS.
Working to Full Capac-
ity With Little or no
Lost Energy
COMPLETE REPORT

The following dispatch received
Sunday gives splendid summary of
existing railroad conditions this sea-
son:
Chicago, Oct. 10, 1919, IL noon.
H. v. Plat,
Salt Lake
Please distribute following notice
as widely as possible in your ter
ritory today for release in morning
papers on Monday, Oct. 13.
Walker D. Hines, director gem
eral of railroads today, authorized
the following. The railroads of the
country are now doing a heavier
business for the present season Of
the year than was ever done in the
history of the railroads in normal
years and practically as heavy busi-
ness as was done at this season In
1913 which exceeded all previous
records. They have more cars in
actual service after excluding cars
held out Of service for repairs than,
in 1917, or 1915, while the bad order
car situation was greatly en-
barrassed by the intensive strikes
among shopmen in August, the per-
centage of bad cars is now rapidly
improving. There was an increase
of 52,426 cars in service able con-
dition between August 16 and Oct.
4, 1910 of this increase were added
in the end Oct. 4, while the freight
business is practically as heavy as
this time last year. the railroad adj
ministration is performing that busi-;
ness is unavoidably deprived Of any
exceedingly important aides which Iii
was able to utilize last year. One
Of these is the zoning of coal witch
last year compelled consumers take
their coal from nearby mines and
thereby greatly increase the seffic-
iency Of coal transportation, this adj
vantage has now necessarily been
lost because coal coming was termin-
ated last winter. Another is that
last year there was much heavier,
loading of many Important comodr
tiles than it has been possible toases
cure this year and the result fss an
under existing conditions more cars
have to be used for the same amount
of traffic than was used last year.
There are various other import
ant respects in which traffic was con-
trolled' in the interest Of the war last
year, so as to get the maximum re-
suits out of railroad transportation
and with the return of peace condi-

= '.L.
ARcO DRY LANDS

A second investigation of the dry
farm lands in the region of Arco.
Powell and Howe and along the foot
of the mountains all along that
region, has just been completed by
representatives of the state and the
railroad companies.
It will be remembered that a large
number of service men were located
during the past winter and spring
on dry farm lands in that country
and 1t was charged that many of the
places On which these soldiers filed
were absolutely worthless and that
none of the land was fit for dry farm
ing and could not be irrigated.
An investigation under state
authorities was made in July and the
report of the committee bore out the
above statements. The Union
Pacific system, whose representatives
had been in measure responsible in
directing men to these lands, not
being satisfied with the former re-
port, secured the services Of H. w.
Campbell, editor of Campbell's Dry
Farmer .and father of the dry farm
methods by which the great plains
east of the Rocky mountains and
much of. the dry land of the inter-
mountain region, have been made
productive.
Mr.. Campbell was accompanied on
his trip into Idaho by w. ]. Paxman,
a successful dry farmer from Nephi,
Utah, who has made deep study of
dry farming principles and dry farm
ing Implements, our state immigra-
tion agent, O. H Barber of Boise and
L C. Aicher, superintendent Of the
experimental farm lat Aberdeen and
Joel Priest, industrial agent for the
Oregon Short Line. They spent four
days of last week going over the. sit
tuation and made an examination of
the land and soil tests.
I Mr.. Campbell expressed the be-
lief that nearly all Of the lands could
be farmed profitably il the Campbell
dry farm methods were followed. On
his way out thru the Taber country
and along the dry farms Of the Lost
river region he stated that dry farm
ing as practiced in that locality was
not worthy of the name. He said
that by following such methods as
those farmers are following would
not bring success in any of the so
called dry farm regions. After con-
sulting the record of precipitation,
winds ect., and testing the soil he

A DRIVE TO HELP !.
SUFFERING POLAND
Lutheran Church Makes
Collection of Cloth
ing for Needy
NOTIFY PASTOR

Poor Poland will starve, poor Pc.
land will die."
These were the words of Madam
Paderewski, wife Of the Premier of
Poland, as she came home to her
country and people and saw how the
crops this year were destroyed by
1t0O much rain.
Very little was heard about Poland
during the war. We all heard the
appeals from bleeding Belgium and
France and Serbia-appeals for food,
clothing, money and it is matter
Of great satisfaction to know that
America came to the rescue. But
Poland was silent, apparently. She
was hemmed in between the armed
hosts Of Russia, Austria and Ger
many, Overrun by three immense
armies, crushed, bleeding and starv-
ing and no one near to hear her cry
for help. Five long and terrible
years.
We wish to quote from M. j.
Stolee, one of the commissioners sent
to the war stricken countries by the
Lutheran church of America to study
conditions there. He has recently re-
turned and has this to say about
Poland, which seems to be in, the
most dire need.
In 1915 the Germans were
threatening all Warsaw. Then oc-
cured what I would call one of the
great tragedies of the war.
'Orders came from the Russian
headquarters that the Lutherans Of
Lublin, Kalisch and Kamien had to
leave Immediately for interior Rus
sia. Most of the Lutherans of Po-
land are Of German origin. In this
way 10000 men had to leave their
homes and families on twenty-four
hours notice. Ten days later the wO-
men and children were told, to 60.
One of the pastors who was allowed
to go with the women and children
told me that the train had to stop
ever so often to give time for bury
ing the dead children. Twenty-Five
or more were buried at q time. The
most pitiful feature of this expulsion
was that the families did not know
where the men had gone, and it took
years to find them. Some of the
families have not been reunited yet.
Two-thirds of these unfortunates re-
turned to Poland last year, and about
one-third still remains in Siberia or
Russia, many of whom will never
return, having died in exile.
