AN ECHO OF
THE LONG AGO
Failure and Suicide Fol-
low an Unhappy
Venture
A FAMOUS RESORT
Continued from last issue)

Chapter II.
In the last issue we told of a
wealthy Swiss named Gerber visit
ing the Yellowstone park and fall
ing in love with the great expanse of
semi-arid and timber lands lying
along the north fork of Snake river
and westward toward Camas mead
ows, and without learning all about
the climatic conditions he brought
out number of wealthy Swiss and
more than 100 families to settle on
the lands. The first winter came on
earlier than it would in Switzerland
and lasted infinitely longer, as is the
custom of winters in that high alti-
tude on the edge of the continental
divide, and there was trouble that
came to focus quickly when winter
set in.
The plan of the Swiss manage
ment of the colony was to take water
from the north fork of Snake river
and conduct it upon the plains for
irrigation. For this purpose some
diversion dams were built, and the
Swiss people performed the labor as
employees. of the men at the head,
for they had wealth.
Cheese That Might Have Been
The plan was not without merit,
for they intended to launch a big
dairy business promptly and make
cheese-Swiss cheese, in great
quantity, and Swiss cheese made in
America would sell we'll and escape
the expense Of importation, so there
should be profit. But grass is not
hay, and cows are not Swiss cheese.
There is short interim. Into this
interim the winter interposed itself
and broke off their plans with due
ceremony. Old timers up there talk
about having four feet of snow on
the level for six months of the year
and that is bad for COWS if there is
no feed.
At the time we are telling about,
the supply Of hay that was laid in
to carry the COWS thru Swiss
winter was sufficient only to last
them till the cold days of December.

Alexander's Regular
Midnight Visitors

The Alexander clothing store,
which was broken into by night bur-
glars on the night Of November 10,
was again visited on the same date
this month. This time the thieves
were frightened away by the night
watchman and only secured IS in
change out of the cash drawer.
At about two o'clock Thursday
morning Night Watchman Wesley
Boice saw man coming out of the
back door of the Alexander store
just as he himself was entering the
alley. He supposes that the man
who was on guard gave the alarm.
Both men hustled into waiting
bob-sled that was standing in the
alley between the postoffice and the
Idaho Republican shop and they
were gone before he reached the al
ley. Boice fired after them, but
does not know whether or not he
struck either of the men. He called
up Manager Fred Simons, who came
down and ascertained his loss.
Fred Simons, manager of the
store, thinks that his big overcoat
and suit sale has indeed attracted
wide attention when even burglars
come after goods and profits. He
stated, Thursday, that he would
much prefer a day visit, when he
could help the men get properly
fitted. On the November visit his
burglars spoiled three suits to get
one, taking the coat of one SUIT, the
vest of another and the pants of an
other. 1t would pay him, he says,
to give them each "a complete suit.
He complains of having to come
down at such unhandy hours of the
night, and does not see why custo-
mers cannot stick to the established
schedule Of business hours.
Boice could only describe the bob
sled as having we'll matched team
of dark horses. No clue as to the
burglars has yet been obtained.

The week of January IL to II will
be convention week at POcatello for
all persons engaging in agricultural
work. 1t will be meeting Of ex-
perts and teachers in those practices.
It will Include convention of civil
engineers and there is where we con-
meet with reclamation and irrigation.
Their work deals with our water
rights and men who wish to learn
the fundamentals of dealing with
water rights and of legislating to
control water, distribute water and
to store water and to increase the
duty of water while at the same time
cutting down the operating expense
of handling it, should attend the
convention of civil engineers.
If our whole population or if our
leading men connected with legisla-
ton had been well versed in the.
matters that come before the civil
sengineers at their annual meetings,
there would not have been the
division that there was year ago
over the question of enacting law
to provide for new method of dis
An important measure that came be-
fore the legislature claiming to pro-
vide the means of increasing the
duty Of water and Reducing the op-
Grating cost was very bitterly as
sailed by men who pronounced it
graft and the measure was defeated.
Eastern Idaho has more at stake
in irrigation perhaps than any other
district in the world and is yet new
and in the formative period and if
there is any place on earth where
people should study the problems
that come before the conference of
engineers it is in this locality. 1t
would be great aid for our own
understanding; a great aid for our
plans for furtures if a large delega-
tion of our business men and farm
ers and stockmen would attend the
convention of engineers in Pocatello
the week of January IL to II.
One feature of the weeks conven-

Meeting of Civil Engineers to Teach Irrigation
Facts. Advantages of Purity Will Be
Shown by Expert Teachers

ton will be the pure seed show.
Pure seed will be on exhibit and
much will be taught concerning the
advantages of discarding mixed seed
and starting in with pure seed.
Much will be taught as to the meth
DDS by which this can be accom-
plished. The middle aged man who
has worked under the handicap of
mixed seed or poor seed all his life,
has a chance now to get into the
game on the more progressive and
more profitable way of doing things.
The young men who have not wasted
half their lives on the poorer plan
can attend the seed show and be
taught all about how to start in right
and stay right. 1t is said that there
is as much advantage in using pure
seed as there is raising pure bred
stock, or in having weedless farm as
compared with p slovenly farm,
where everything grows at random.
If lot of our business men should
accompany the farmers and stock
men to the convention and study
pure seeds and the advantages aris-
ing from the use of pure seeds they
can all benefit by helping to put
these better plans into operation and
the man who engages purely in COM
mercial persuits would have a
broader and clearer conception Of
the great speeding-up process that is
in store in the next few years for
this great agricultural district. 1t
would help him to plan his own bust
ness to keep pace with the times.
There will be matters of special
interest to stockmen because there
will be fat stock show and experts
will be there to teach everybody the
fundamentals in raising pure bred
stock and the great advantages to
be secured from it. He who has
been farming, but not engaging es-
pecially in stock raising will have
chance to get a new vision of what
he can do by using pure seed and
pure breeds of stock and making his
