The above statistics show con-
clusively that Bingham county is
primarily an agricultural county with
a vast field open for future develop
ment. In fact the success of the
farmer all depends upon himself as

ditions, water and facilities for those
who wish to live and profit by work

1t has been stated by agricultural

achieved in the past by farmers in

Pioneer Newspaper
Official Succumbs
to Heart Failure

Charles A. Elmer, state commits
sioner Of public investments and q
member of Governor Davis cabinet
in the state commission form of gov
ernment, dropped dead in front of
st. Johns cathedral this morning
while going from his home to the
state house to work. Heart trouble
was the cause Of his sudden passing
away.
Mr.. Elmer came to Boise when he
was twelve years of age and started
to work for local newspaper, set
ting type and delivering papers. He
worked for a while on the San
Francisco Sun, but later removed to
Baker City, Ore, where he also
worked on a newspaper. Later he
entered the employ of the Oregonian
at Portland, where he remained until
1887.
In 1890 he purchased an interest
in the Colfax Gazette and spent the
next eight years as editor of that
paper. He then sold out his inter-
ests and went with the Spokesman
Review as Idaho correspondent, re-
siding at Lewiston, Idaho. Later he
purchased an interest in the Lewis
ton Tribune and acted as travelling
correspondent for that paper until
1905.

sion have been gradual, keeping pace
with the development and settle
ment of the country. In the last
analysis agriculture will be to Bing-
ham county and Idaho as it always
has been to the rest of the world, the
best basis for permanent prosperity,
only stimulating and expanding
those pictured industries of a few
years hence. Speculations are maxi
ing millionaries every day and doubt
less will for years to come. But agri-
culture, while less spectacular in it's
development, will provide the great
bulk of prosperous and contented
citizenship for this state and con-
tributes most for the making of
Idaho and Bingham county the best
place to live IN.
Crops have the great advantage Of
the large amount of sunshine pro-
vided by Idaho's climate, and under
irrigation can be supplied with water
and at such times and in such
amounts as will produce the best re-
suits. The soils of the more arid
lands are especially rich in mineral
plant foods for they have not been
washed out by the rains of the ages.
This combination of favorable china
tic conditions, rich soils and con-
trolled water supplies, produce crops
in Idaho that can hardly be excelled

Red Cross May Sc

When the Rupe family was burned
out on Friday morning they had been
suffering from sickness, Mr.. Rupe
had been unable to work and the
family income had been cut off. The
Red Cross investigated the matter,
got them into another house and sup

Ernest Anderson is the chairman
of the Red Cross and M. H. Fehnel,
secretary. The organization is plan
ming to get trained worker to take
charge and hope to make an arrange
ment with the county commissioners
by which the Red Cross department
shall investigate all the claims for
county aid and shall, thru their
trained worker, be able to inform
the county officers as to who is de-
serving of aid and who is not. The
Red Cross takes the view that a
great deal of the county money is
wasted by being mis-applied. Thru
their organization they hope to shut
off the waste that has been made by
supplying people who are able to
take care of themselves.

WATER MEETING
HELD AT IDAHO
FALLS SATURDAY
Three Problems Con-
fronted in Solving
Sand Creek Drain
age and Storage

The water meeting held at Idaho
Falls on Saturday to discuss matters
connected with Sand creek waters
was attended by about forty or fifty
men with only small representation
from the Blackfoot country.
There are three main problems
that were discussed in the meeting.
One was the storing of the waters of
Willow creek for irrigation and to
prevent their coming down on the
lower country at times when they
would be damage. Another prob
lem was to arrange SO that the large
canals east of Idaho Falls desiring
to keep waters in their channels for
domestic purposes thruout the year
might be so regulated that people
could be accommodated in that re-
spect without turning an undue
amount Of water down Sand creek
to the injury Of people living below.
Another problem is the construction
of drainage system or waste water
bitches to carry of this water after
it has served its purpose above. Such
drainage system or waste water
bitches would necessarily have to
be built to dump the water into the
Blackfoot river. The people in the
upper districts are chiefly interested
in the storage of the waters of Will
low creek to keep them from coming
down at times of freshet and wash
ing out their bridges and roads. The
people lower down are interested in
keeping such waters and the waters
from the canals from coming down
in such quantities that they over run
the channel of Sannd creek and get
out on their farms. Still further
down they are interested in the same
question and the question of drain
age to carry of that water and the
waters arising from irrigation that
makes the sub-irrigation too much
in the district northeast Of Blackfoot.
The only result Of the meeting was
the appointment of committee Of
seven men to try to- organize a work
Ing force and to raise money enough
to pay for the cost Of investigating
the foundations of the dam that
would be necessary for storing the
waters Of Willow creek. The pre-
liHiudIy cApcuoc VI SUCH WOrk WOulQ
be about $4,000. After that Is done
when they know definitely what can
be accomplished by storage and what
the expense would be, they will then
30 to the canal companies and the
people damaged by the food waters
and see how much money can be
raised for the project. The drainage
project in the middle and lower dis
tricts will probably have to be
handled by separate organization
The members Of the board chosen
we're as follows: Oran Lee of Rigby,
'oute No. 2, Ell P. Simmons of Ucon.
James Heath of the upper Willow
,reek. E. Lovel Of Rigby route No. 2,
John Empey of Ammon, D. e. Rath-
,un of Idaho Falls, c. r. Black of
