HAYSTACK BURNED

On Wednesday evening lightning
struck haystack at the ranch OF
J. B. Larson at Presto and It was
entirely destroyed, about seventy
five tons.
The neighbors assembled with
buckets and did their best, but they
had to carry water several hundred
feet and they had no way Of applying
it over a large surface Of flame. They
carried enough water to put it out il
they could have thrown 1t on in a
spray. If they had been able to sum-
mon a fire engine and 500 feet of
hose to connect with the ditch water
at any time before the fire went deep
into the stack they could have saved
II. 1t Is about ten miles from Black
foot and rural fire truck could have
made the run in half an hour or
twenty minutes form Firth and
could probably have saved a large
part Of it. Our informant asked us
to say that there was no insurance
on the hay, and added, II am sure
that Beebe will want to know"
Early and Beebe both write hay
insurance before the fire stats, but
after the thing starts they don't ad-
wise people to Keep the home fires

BAND OF SHEEP

Moon Valley Party Res
cue 300 Wandering
Ewes and Lambs

Members of the exploring party t,
Moon Valley are the recipients O
much gratitude from James Lindsa,
OF Rupert, who after having a bant
Of 300 sheep lost for two weeks
found them after they had beer
driven from the lavas by the explor
ing party.
Early one morning while the party
sighted the band wandering slowly
across the lava flow towards them
On going out to meet the herder the
party found the band of ewes and
lambs to be strays in the lava
country without the protection OF
man or dog and in very pitiful
plight.
The travel over the lava flows and
sharp edged rocks had cut their feet
and several showed the results of the
ravages of wild animals. One in
particular, according to the report,
had all the skin on one side hanging
loose apd exposing the ribs as q re-
suit Of it's experience with a coyote
or bear, both Of which abound in the
region.
The band on arriving at the camp
OF the party bedded down when un-
der the protection of man.
There being no water where the
party was camped the sheep were
driven across stretch Of barren lava
that night. The third day the party
reached water and drove their
charges in relays to water, watering
about five at time. The sheep were
drove into the hills and word was
sent to- Arco that they had been
found and saved. On the last day in
camp the owner appeared in search
of his wandering flock and declared
that anything he had was theirs now.

a good show consisting Of a lot OF
the sports of the range Friday and

new ASSOCIATION
IS FORMED HERE
Grimm Growers Ready
for Business; Expon-
ents of Clean Seed

The Idaho Grimm Alfalfa Seed as
sociation has been organized with
about $50 members, with head.
quarters at Blackfoot. They have
bought large warehouse situated
on the wye and will fit it with bins
and machinery for cleaning and
grading alfalfa seed.
They have secured the services of
K. V. Tanner, an expert in the seed
! business, and he will address his
energies to, the task of directing the
farmers in cleaning up their fields
to get the last bit of foreign stuff out
of their meadows to keep the product
pure, getting it threshed without
bringing any foreign seed to the job
with the machine, and seeing to 1t
that none but certified seed in any
manner gets into their warehouse.
He will also help the farmers to so
manage their meadows that nothing
but alfalfa goes to seed in them.
This organization thru its charter
members already has standing in
the alfalfa seed markets and the as
oSSAoSAOA OoAACo AntO AlS WOTh ToHQy
to do quarter Of million dollars
worth of business the first year. But
the measure of their service cannot
be taken in dollars and cents for It
is in the certainty of the purity of
their seed that the great value and
service lies. The man who prepares
his field to receive pure seed wants
to know that the product will stand
analysis next year and the year after,
and not be condemned and have to
be plowed up because it is a mixture
of two or more varieties, or as has
sometimes been the case, grow dod-
der and sweet clover besides.
This useful industry and the as
sociation formed to market it's pro-
duct has grown from the efforts of |
a few pioneers who forged ahead in |
the experimental work years ago,
and our pure seed growers at Spring
field, Sterling and Aberdeen have
numbered among the leaders in the
work.

GREATER FORT HALL PROJECT LAUNCHED
ASSOCIATION FORMED; WORK TO START
Farmers Along the
People Canal are
Short of Water

The water commissioner for this
district cut down the flow of water
In the Peoples canal on the first day
OF August, and Vice President H. N.
Smith and w. E. Jordan went out
and solicited the use of water from
other canals to be turned into the
Peoples canal Saturday morning,
Aug. s to enable them to protect ali
crops that may be in need OF irriga-
tion.
Cutting down the stream at this
time was surprise to the officers of
the canal company and they had no
chance to give warning to the water
users so they could water those crops
that were just then needing it.. Most
OF the fields are in good condition
and 1t is thought that enough water
can be borrowed from other canals
to serve all who need it.

ing. The comments Of J. Robh
Brady which we published q week
ago on the value of the fair grounds
and ,Younie park to Blackfoot and
the loss to P0catello and Idaho Falls
in allowing their similar grounds to
pass into private hands impressed a
good many people in Bingham
county. Men are saying that II our
fair grounds had passed into private
hands last year and been sold of in
city lots 1t might have profited some
individuals, but at sacrifice to the
whole public. Our neighboring cities
on the north and the south are
demonstrating just what that loss
means and people in this county are
more emphatic than ever in their
decision to preserve the public play
ground. And If it is to be pre-
served and improved, somebody has
to do It. In the determination to re-
duce taxes 1t has been ordered that
no more Of the public money be ex-
pended on the grounds in these hard
times, and individuals have to go
on with the improvements or they
will not be made. In boom times
everybody is too busy to do such
work and when times are hard and
men are wanting employment is
good time to keep the home work
moving. In the past week Or two a
number of men have sent in the mes
sage that they wanted their fair
stock used on the improvements at
the grounds, and most Of them have
left 1t to the committee to use It for
what seemed the most needed. Fol-
lowing are the names and amounts

reporting as follows:
To the Honorable Commissioner Of
Indian Affairs: .4
We respectfully ask that the gov
ernment take adequate measures to
protect its wonderful asset in the
Fort Hall irrigation project. It is
conceded that the Dubois or Black
foot reservoir leaks. It Is generally
assumed that the Dubois or Black
foot dam Is insecure. Should the
dam break, millions Of dollars worth
OF property would be destroyed and
probably many lives lost. The gov
ernment has wonderful asset in
their present system. There is a
reservoir now established and cap
able OF holding twice its present
water supply. The water shed nature
has furnished for much of this addi-
tional supply. Indian lands under
the present system are inadeduateyl
furnished with water.
Thru safeguarding the present
reservoir; by enlarging the carrying
capacity of the canals and the con-
struction of additional syphons,
reservoirs and canals you not only
protect the present project but de-
velop the cultivation of at least 3O,-
600 acres of additional Indian lands
and $4,000 acres additional land
owned by white people. A compre-
hensive survey and report is impera-
tive to determine the cost Of the
necessary enlargement.
This meeting of representatives Of
The localities interested In the per-
manency Of the governments assets,
pledge themselves to cooperate in
the most liberal way to have a COM
prehensive survey made Of the en-
lire project including the number of
acres OF land to be served; Indians as
veil as those owned by whites. The
safeguarding of the present system
md the estimated cost of the en-
arged project.
We recommend the appointment
I the following engineers:
w. M. Donner, w. P. Hayenor, w.
}. Cotton and we respectfully re-
uest the commissioner of Indian af-
airs to designate these engineers and
re further recommend that he re-
uest Supervising Engineer Dietz to
cooperate with the engineers named
making the survey and report.
We pledge ourselves to pay the ex-
enses of Engineers Cotton and
avenor and ask the Indian affairs
Pfice to take care of the expenses of
lpervising Engineer Dietz and w.

We recommend that a copy of this
be transmitted to the COM

Farley P. Price was in from Wa.

at what looks to him like mistake
that this county is making in regard

ments already made do not indicate
that we are capitalizing on our best
resources and best assets when It
comes to amusements. Mr.. Price
says we are offering very good
purses for horse races till we get
down to the Indian races and then
we slacken the amounts. He says
have very few race horses in our
county and are bidding to secure i'm
portations of something we have not.
But when 1t comes to riders, real
honest to goodness rough riders, we
have lots Of them. The hills are full
OF rangers ready and, willing to do
rough riding and all manner of trick
riding such as people know little
about and such as they delight in
seeing. The Indians are wonderful
riders and can do a lot of stunts
which they would enjoy and so
would the public. The public is will
Ing to pay for what it wants, but Mr..
Price says we have expended money
for airships and plain old running
races done with animals brought in
from distant places and neglected
our own cowboys and our own
Indians just across the river and up
