TIME SAVED AND
DOLLARS EARNED
Progressive Merchants and Business
Men Of County Towns Repre-
sented In Directory
10 BE PUBLISHED REGULARLY

There is q certain element Of
change in western towns and
counties that makes it necessary that
a good deal Of inquiring should be
done. Locations are being con-
stantly changed, businesses enlarged,
new firms opening their doors, and
with that other matter of an ac-
cumulating population providing al
ways newcomers, who must learn
about their merchants and business
service, there is need for q compact
record of business houses. Such q
record the Idaho Republican has
gathered together for the conven-
fence of the public and as vehicle
Of understanding between represent
ative business houses and customers.
1t appears in today's issue in the
form of Bingham county classified
directory, classified as to towns and
as to business titles.
Not even to person, who has
lived In town all his life does it
come always right off the tongue
when he is asked where to get GER
tain business service. Names slip
out of mind when not often seen or
repeated. Well meaning friends
have been known to forget, for a mo-
ment-an important moment-that
they have friend in the business
when somebody needs something
that is for sale somewhere.
The classified directory, which will
be published regularly in the Idaho
Republican twice each month, COM
bats this element of vagueness and
forgetfulness among old inhabitants
and new ones. A casting of the pro-
spective eye over this list will save
steps and save bothering friend
with questions. The firms listed are
of the best and most permanent.
They, if any, are true assets to the
whole county and 1t pays home folks,
who expect to live at home, to trade
with home business men. The home
merchant is always here If we have
complaint to make after using the
goods, and he is usually there
when one needs little credit.
The best place in the world to
have standing" is among home busi-
ness men. You can't get far by de-
pending on far away references
when it comes to being identified as
trustworthy person.
This directory page will be
handy thing to put by, or tack up,
where it may be referred to. 1t pays
always to know what you want and
where you are going to get it before
you start out When you are pay
ing bills, refer to it, and get the
names and titles right.
Twice each month this directory
will appear in the regular paper
thruout the year 1t will be kept
up-to-date and dependable. 1t is the
belief of business men and the pub
Usher that it will serve as great
convenience and time saver

Dies With Babe
in Irrigation Canal

Early Friday morning the bodies
Of Mrs. Inez Albin and her two-year
old son Sven were found in irrigation
canals near Firth. The mother was
discovered near the L. J. Firth place
by Mr.. Firth himself; the child had
floated two miles and was discovered
by Walter Dye, in a lateral ditch.
Mrs. Albin and her small son were
living with her sister,. Mrs. John
Nelson, east 81 Firth. and had come
from Sweden about two months ago.
1t is supposed by Mrs. Nelson that
the husband had been In the German
army during the war and that he
was killed. Mrs. Albin said very
little about her husband or any
trouble that she might have been
burdened with. She was beautiful
girl. and her relatives are at a loss
to understand her mad act.
A coroner's inquest Friday morn
ing decided that the young mother,
in q fit OF insanity, took the baby and
plunged with him into the canal,
which runs by the Nelson place, some
time early Friday morning, before
daylight The bodies were placed in
the e. T. Peck funeral establishment
and burial services were held at the
Firth church at O'Clock Monday
afternoon.

WATER FAMINE
ON THE IMPROVE
Concentration of Water on the I'm
made Crops Will Make An
Almost Normal Crop
HAVE PLENTY OF WINTER FEED

Representative Lewis Robbins, OF
Moreland, in statement made Mon
day morning says the condition OF
the water shortage is improving and
will continue to improve.
The grain crop is made; the second
hay crop is made and on many mead
ows there is enough moisture in the
ground to make considerable growth
on the third crop.
The fact that no more water will
be necessary for grain and meadows
makes Il pOss. .nle to consentrate all
the wal.T we have on Sugar beets,
potatoes and minor products
The fist cutting of hay, Mr.. Rob.
bins says, was heavier than usual
The sel md crop is good and there is
more hay in the county row than
there usually is. Mr.. Rohbins says
that with the abundance OF hay on
hand and with the prospect that the
farmers will sEo their beet tops care
fully the pros pect for winter feeding
is much letter than it has been for
Several years past.

Largest State Land
Sale in Idaho's Time

The largest and most successful
land sale that has ever been con-
lucted in this state was the one held
Vt Rexburg Friday, July 25. The
sale took in $4,000 acres of land and
brought $590,O00: The land SOLD
from the appraised value of $40 per
acre to $75 per. acre, or an average
Of $33 per. acre, straight thru for
formaing and grazing lands.
Ibis same tract Of land sold last
year for 100000 at a state land sale
tut the sale was not accepted by the
land board, hence the reselling this
season. The higher price realized
his year means savin got $3.50, 900
to the state.
The sales at briggs and st. An
thony, combined, scarcely totaled as
many acres as the Rexburg sale,
there being $4,000 acres in the two.
l. H. Nash, state land commits
sioner, was In charge Of the sales.

CHINESE PHEASANTS
BECOMING A PEST

TWIN FALLS, Ida. - Chinese
brought into this county
several years ago by sportsmen, are
becoming pest. according to farm
ers Of the district who are loud in
their complaints.
According to l.. F. Clarke of Han
sen, the birds are so thick and
pernicious in his neighborhood as to
seriously interfere with irrigation.
In their search for food in the fields,
he says, they divert the water from
the course intended for 1t.

The Springfield Fills

Work is being pushed steadily on
the fill across the lake and along
the cuts and grades approaching the
lake. A strong fence Of planks will
be built across the lake fill to keep
travellers from going off the lie.
Our former statement that the load
was being made straight thru was not
quite correct; it is curved slightly
and it is said that the curve saves
a large block of expense as compared
with making it absolutely straight.
The scenic effect along the lake is
as good as before and for a much
longer stretch.

Stroud claims to know nothing o.
the land. Vernon was the land man
and Vernon Is out Of the locating
business now. But Stroud holds tht
notes and whatever else was paid fol
location.
BlackfOot Men Started 1t
The investigation was in the frs,
place agitated by ]. A. Stewart anC
E. M. Kennedy, of Blackfoot, in the
belief that the service men were be-
ing defrauded, and it has not gone
far enough to indict anybody. The
object Of the examination was to de-
termine what value there was in the
scheme, and the committee assured
itself that. not only was much of the
land worthless, but not single
piece would make an advisable loca.
ton for family desiring. to get 9
living out Of it.
1t is not known with exactness
just how many of the soldiers filed
on land at Pioneer, but the figure IL
placed at sixty. They came out in
special cars furnished by the Union
Pacific, on the recommendation OF
Union Pacific emigration officials
With the exception of a few left tC
work the land they have all gone
back home to work and pay for the
land.
Statement of Barber
The Arco country lin Butte county
where the Union Pacific Railroad
company has been colonizing re.
turned soldiers, has been strongly
condemned by a commission of ex.
perts supplied by the University OF
Idaho at the request of Governor
DAVIS to investigate dry farming pos
sibilities in that locality
According to immigration Com
missioner, O. H. Barber, who ac-
companied this commission ON
its Investigation, the country is not
the only thing deserving of con-
demnation.
Returned soldiers have been To-
Gated on 800 acre tracts of solid lava
rock or gravel or mountain side,
that is characterized by the COM
mission as being absolutely useless
for farming or grazing purposes.
There are not only few such claims,
but number of them. The commits
sion did not find a single claim upon
which a filing had been made, or
which was pointed out to them by
those doing the colonizing, which
they would recommend any one to
60 upon to make living.
Citizens of Arco regret very much
that the soldiers have been victim
lied and are loath to believe that
their community is not adapted to
dry farming purposes, but they are
highly gratified that steps have been
taken to prevent further imposition
The commercial club of Arco bore
the expense of automobiles to con-
vey the Investigators for six days
during which time almost every part
of the country was covered.
Steps are now being taken to pre-
vent the collection of notes signed by
the soldier homesteaders in pay
ment of their location fees. How
many of these notes are in existance
is not known, but it is presumed they
will total several thousand dollars.

COMMISSION OF EXPERTS LOOK
INTO ARCO LAND PROPOSITION
Land Pronounced Worthless For Farming or
Grazing Purposes; Steps Being Taken
to Protect Homesteaders
ABOUT GO CLAIMS HAVE BEEN FILED ON

That the Butte county cOlOniZa-
ton scheme for returned soldiers,
promoted and carried on BY the
emigration officers Of the Union
Pacific railroad system, is about to
turn out great fake is positively
f0reshadowed by the verbal report
Of q committee of soil experts who
finished an examination Friday last
week.
Sixty ex-soldiers and sailors, or
more, have filed on land near the
stop station of Pioneer, not far from
Arco, paying $125 for location. They
formed among themselves the Set
tiers Reclaiming & Cooperative Co.
for developing the land each taking
ten shares for $35. They bought q
large tractor thru this organization
and engaged to pay its working ex-
penses at the rate Of from SIS to
$25 a month each, while 1t was to
clear and plow portion Of every
claim.
The objection of the committee of
soil experts, who were Prof, Hitch
cock, soil expert of the University of
Idaho, Byron Hunter, a federal land
man, and l.. G. Aicher, manager OF
the experimental farm at Aberdeen,
was that not any of the land taken
up by the ex-service men promised
ever to provide a fair living If
worked. 1t was taken, apparently,
insight and unseen. The commit
tee does not place the blame
Barber Opposes Railroad Men
To all appearances the Union
Pacific system worked in good faith
to help the army men find homes
where they could make living and
good thing. R. A. Smith, the sys-
TENS emigration officer, made two
trips to the land at Pioneer and both
times reported favorably. At the
second trip o. H. Barber, Idaho i'm
migration commissioner, also made
an investigation of the colonization
scheme and pronounced it very
doubtful. 1t did not look good to
him and he said so. But the men
continued to be shipped here and, To-
Gated out of Arco by J. s. Vernon and
II, "A, OLTOuu, Ou JAC lGAu, tAAO
other at the train. These men re-
ceived the location fees, in cash or
notes, of $125.
@. H. Barber then called together
the committee of experts and had
them make thoro investigation OF
all of the land in question. After six
days they made report strongly un-
favorable. Their written report will
shortly be published.
Will Burn Notes
While these men were looking at
the land H. A. Stroud, who in the
mean time became the sole locating
agent, by the departure of J. S. YER
non, made public statement that in
case of an unfavorable report by the
committee he would make a bonfire
of all the notes he had taken from
the locating soldier boys, most OF
whom have gone back to their homes
in the middle west and are at their
Jobs to make money to carry on the
work of developing their worthless
land. AS soon as the written report
of the committee comes out there
will doubtless he bonfire OF notes
at Arco.

Contracts have been let for grad
ing thru the Pingree district on lines
agreed upon by the local people, TAX
ing the line lying farther from the
river than the old line. The old
road is very good, and the new line
will be made according to the plan

Sterling or Grandview

Sterling is on the line of road as
it was at first proposed to build, but
Grandview calls attention to certain
advantages of turning west about a
mile north of Sterling, and running
thru their settlement. Sterling pro-
tests and insists ON having road
thru town. Grandview offers to
gravel the present grade into Sterl-
ing at their own. expense, and the
matter is still under consideration,
with prospects Of happy solution
that will please everybody.
North of Aberdeen
The Classen and Snowfall grad
ing crews have just about finished
their seventh mile ready for the top
coat, and have taken new contract
for another stretch leading toward
Sterling and Grandview.
Some Aberdeen parties have taken
a contract near Shelley and are NOV
ing up to, begin work.

Gravel Station at Moreland
The gravel station is completed at
Moreland and all is ready for load
ing railroad cars as soon as the spur
is completed and the workmen get
the gravel to moving. This is to be
shipped to Aberdeen. 1t was at first
proposed to haul it from the river
near the Aberdeen ferry, but when
they figured out the expense item
by item, they found that would cost
a great deal more than shipping
from Moreland and on the present
plan it will give the county load
ing station that may be utilized to
save money in some other sections.
Road to Rose District
Consideration is being given to
the spur leading from the sugar
factory at Blackfoot, via the Porter
