FATAL TO BEES?
Short Course for Bee Keepers to
Study Welfare of Honey
Producers.

Honey production as an occupation
for returned soldiers who are desir-
Gus of getting into some line of in
dustry different from what they had
before they entered the military SER
vice is suggested by the extension
division of tn University of Idaho, in
connection with its arrangement for
beekeeping short course to be given
in the rooms of the Boise Commercial
club, from Monday noon to Saturday
noon, November to 8.
In making this suggestion, the ex-
tension division is passing on sug-
gestion from the bureau of entomo-
logy of the United States department
of agriculture, which is supplying the
experts who are to conduct the study
course The bureau of entomology
suggests that an effort be made es-
pecially to interest returned soldiers
in taking the course.
In this connection it is pointed out
that the association honey producers,
whose field is the Boise and Payette
valleys, eastern Oregon and the ter
riptory as far east as Mountain Home,
did $25O,000 business last year, and
that a check as large as $4,000 was
written for one beekeeper.i
DR.. E. F. Phillips, apiculturist;
Prof. G. S. Demuth, agricultural as
sistant, and Prof A. P. Sturtevant,
in charge of bee disease investigation,
are the three experts from the bureau
of entomology who will give the most

bill FULLER PASSES
over DIVIDE
Was Born in Boise Valley-Had
Lived in Idaho Fifty
Years.

"Bill" Fuller died Tuesday at the
home of his sister, Mrs. Jay Free
man, east of town. Death came sud-
denly while he was sitting up in bed.
His head fell over on a table at the
bedside and with a gasp he passed
over the Divide. In his passing was
removed one of the most noted char
acters in this section of the state.
William Sylvester Fuller was ma
tive of Idaho, having been born in the
Boise valley, June 25, 1869, and had
spent the entire so years of his life in
the state, AZ years of it in the vicinity
of Emmett. From a mere boy until
the disease which caused his death
(cancer of the stomach) had sapped
his wonderful vitality, he had follow
ed the life of cowboy. His adven-
turous life brought him excitement,
troubles and privations such as come
to few men. A history of his ex-
periences would read like a novel the
small boy loves to peruse. In his
younger days he was noted buckaroo
and he enjoyed riding the widest
horses. AS cowboy, he knew every
nook and corner of western Idaho, and
the broad range, with it's mountains
and hills and valleys and sagebrush
deserts, was an open book to him.
Nature was his teacher and he proved
a most apt pupil. In the early days
he was in his element, but civilization
engulfed him. He had been too long |
accustomed to the "free and easy"
days to change when the new order Of |
things came with the settlement of |
The country, and he died as he had
lived. There are few of his kind left.
The advance of civilization, the set
.lement of the range, the reclama-
ion of the valleys, the railroads and
and flying machines, have
INVADED 'fhis country" and his occu- |.
patton is gone.
While in Oregon he was stricken by
.ancer of the stomach. An operation
vas performed in Baker City hospi-
al, but the dread diseases had be-
ome too firmly implanted in his It's
ues to be eradicated. When he knew
hat the end was near, he yearned to
re brought home to spend his last
ays, and his wish was granted about
he middle of August.
He is survived by his aged parents,
fr. and Mrs. w. L. Fuller, four
rothers and four sisters; also four
hildren, Arnold and Lester Of Clay
on, Idaho, Mrs. Ed Washburn and !,
lta Fuller Of Emmett. The funeral
,as held this afternoon in the Buck
UNI chapel, the services in charge of
.ev. A. C. Lathrop.

TEMPE DISTRICT HAS CANAL ALI FUR
 OWN WATER ONLY

That there is d project within a project in the Salt River valley will be news 10 many, even through this project, the empe canal antedates by many yea-s the construction of the Roosevelt dam.
 As matter of history, the construc- ton of the Tempe ecl al was begun by pioneers in 1872, and from that time to the present it has been in continu- GUS operation.
 The land owners under this canal own their water righls with their land, almost unconditionally, and this land was never made q part of the Salt River valley project, though lying in the valley. and waterei from the Salt.
 The original intake still intact, is about seven miles east of Tempe, where a diversion weir was con- structed, but since the construction of the Granite reef diversion dam this intake has not been used. The water to which the Tempe Canal company is entitled is delivered ;a their canal from the Consolidated canal and tails into the San Francisco. IL carries an aver age of 5000 inches.
 There are 120 miles of lateral under the system, watering 21,000 acres of land. For additional water supply the company has pumping plant capable of delivering 1000 inches of water, from which the users may purchase extra water. It is not kert running except under demand.
 To care for the water logging of some of the lands under this canal a drainage ditch was constructed some years ago. the average flow of which is 2000 inches, which h delivered to the Indian reservation.
 An interesting case has just been settled n which the federal courts have ruled that an intervening ranch, which the drainage canal passes on it's way to the reservation may not take water for irrigation q om the drainage canal.
 The officials of the canal company are Grant Jones, pr sident, and Niels Peterson and c. M Mullen, directors.

FAMOUS YACHT TO NEW USE
(From the London Telegraph.)


 The late Earl Brassey's famous yacht, the Sunbeam, which was lent to the Indian Government as hos pital ship during the war, has been presented by the present Earl Brassey to the cadets of the Nautical College, Pangbourne, for part of their sea training This interesting announce ment was made at the annual prize giving at the college, and aroused, needless to say, the utmost enthusiasm. The late Lord Brassey it was who, in 1890. in conjunction with Sir Thomas Dewitt, Bt., inaugurated a system whereby boys who intended to become officers in the merchant service would receive a thorough training to fit them for their careers. Since then many hundreds of cadets have been given practical training in sailing ships, and have passed into the royal navy or the merchant service. More recently a shore establishment has been created at Pangbourne where the lads receive, in addition to ordinary education, thor ough instruction in practical seaman ship The admiralty having cordially approved of the establishment. the ca dets are enrolled as cadets R. N. R., and are privileged to wear the uni form of the rank.
 Sir Thomas Devitt's announcement regarding the gift of the Sunbeam. the yact in which the late Lord Bras
