GIVEN
HEALTHY BOOST
Republican Presidential Candi-
date Pledges Himself to Ir-
rigation of Arid Lands.

Senator VILLAIN G. Harding, Re-
publican presidential candidate, has
definitely pledged his party and ad-
ministration, in the event he is cleo
ted IN November, to prosecution of
reclamation for western states. In
answer to a letter setting forth the
purpose of the Idaho Reclamation
association written by Fred Reed,
secretary of the association, Mr..
Harding wrote July %:
at is with much satisfaction that
received and read your letter of
July 10. First let me thank you for
your congratulations and for the very
good, frank and kind word which you
have for me.
II note that your Idaho Reclamation
Association numbers fifteen thous-
and members, snd the object of it is
to assist in the work Of reclaiming
the arid lands Of your country. I
think l need not tell you that I am
in the fullest sympathy and accord
with this splendid proposition. In my
speech of acceptance yesterday / had
brief word for this work, but you
must not take the brevity Of my ref
erence for the extent Of my interest.
"The Republican party was respons-
ible for the reclamation work and you
may surely count upon that policy be-
inb maintained in the future.
Thanking you for the kindly in
terest which led you to write me,
am, cordially yours,
"W. G. HARDING"
In the face of this assurance and a
similar one expected daily from Gov
ernor Cox, the Democratic candidate,
Mr.. Reed has launched a campaign to
insure the appointment of western
man as secretary of the interior un-
der the new administration It is
expected that this will be among the
most important things for considera-
ton to come before the meeting of
the Western States Reclamation as
sociation which will be held in Boise
August 20-21.

WHEN OXEN WERE
USED
Ed Hayes Recalls Touching Story Of
Early Days.

Way back yonder, when the days
were young and the sun and moor
were no bigger than an ordinary star
when the Big Butte was but hole in
the ground, when horses and wagons
were Injuries end before motor cars
airplanes, telephones were thought OF
even before Heck was a pup and
the question of "who struck Billy Pat
terson?" troubled the world, this
touching tale of early logging days
as told by Ed Hayes, had its founda-
ton.
In those days aforementioned, jim
Wardwell operated sawmill at En-
NETT, and Ed Hayes, besides being a
prospective son-in-law, was boss of a
logging crew that was getting out
logs on Clear creek, near Lowman,
for the next springs drive. Oxen
were used to haul the logs from where
they were felled to the river bank to
await the spring freshet.
These oxen" according TO Mr..
Hayes, "were sharper than tacks and
possessed traits of shrewdness that had
Maine Yankee skinned forty ways
for Sunday. Their shrewdness was
especially pronounced in schemes to
avoid work, and when morning came,
after feeding in the meadow all night,
they would hide in the brush. 1t was
customary to put a bell on one Of
them 80 AS to locate the herd more
easily, and for 4 time their hiding
places were promptly discovered.
But one morning they could not be
found, though the country was scour-
ed, even the sound Of the bell was
missing. After several hours search
the oxen were by chance found in
large thicket of quakenash. The
bell oxen was lying on the ground with
the bell resting on the ground. Four
of his companions were tanning him
with brush to keep the flies of and
two were pulling grass and feeding
him. And if it had not been for the
indiscretion of one OK in venturing
out of the brush to gather some tall
clusters of grass, the chances are
that, like that five-gallon jug buried
there, they never would have been
found.

TEN DOLLAR Hay

A report has been widely circulated
through. this section that this bank
has put ten dollar limit on loans to
sheepmen to purchase hay. This re-
port was probably started through
malice, as it is not the case; if a bor-
rover is entitled to the credit or can
put up the security, we do not ques-
tion what he pays for the hay, and as
matter of fact, we only have three
sheepmen doing business with this
bank. We would be glad to have any
one who has heard this report to bring
in the party whom we told we would
not loan an unlimited amount per ton
to purchase hay.
Respectfully,

SUCCUMBS TO AWFUL
INJURIES
+. A. DeClark Passes Away Sat-
urday Morning to Sorrow
of Many.

The terrible injuries received by F.

at Horseshoe Bend caused his death
Saturday morning about o'clock, in
spite of the kind ministrations and
prayers of his family and friends and
the skill of his attending physicians.
He suffered intensely and death came
as surcease of pain. He was sur
rounded by his family and a few
| friends when the end came.

He was a man of great business

term as councilman, and in many ways
was active in the development Of both
town annd country Through his ef-
forts and Kindness many a young fell

was charter member of Butte lodge,
A. F. & A. NJ, of this city, and is sur
