APATHY MAY
CAUSE DEFEAT

To Anti-Townley Workers and Voters
Reports received from various parts
of the state indicate that the indie
pendent voters are so confident of vic
tory at the polls November 18th, that
! it may cause their defeat. Because
of the low prices of farm products,
our people have been economizing by
getting along with as little help as
possible during the harvest and the
|threslling season, with the result that
little or no preparation has been made
in many communities for a campaign
that will get the issues before the peo-
pie or get the voters to the polls. The
Joint State Campaign Committee for
the Independents, upon whom all COM
munities are in part dependent and
some communities almost wholly de-
pendent for campaign material, ora
TORS, publicity, etc., is without funds
and already in debt. We are inform
ed that the funds needed foe local and
state use to carry out campaign plans,
that will certainly bring complete VIC
tory to our side, have been apportion-
Jed among the Independent voters in
the way of allotments to finance dis
|tricts consisting Of cities or villages
and their respective trade territories
and that October 9TH, has been set as
the day for the Finance Committee CT
each of these districts. to have their
respective quotas assembled and in the
hands Of the Joint Campaign treasur-
er. The twenty five working days
that remain after that date until cleo

thing is in readiness to 90 with full
force as soon as funds are provided:
| it is yet possible to get the voters
aroused so that they will not permit
Messrs. Townley and Lemke to put
another of their servants into the L.
S. Senate and again get control of the
state offices and the legislature and
thus be in position to repeat the dep
relation in which they INDUCED when
they had control of our state govern
ment before.
The Townley organizers have comb
ed the state for memberships and have
thus assembled campaign fund
which now makes it possible for them
to maintain luxurious headquarters
in one of the largest hotels in Fargo.
They pretend to be conducting Re-
publican headquarters in spite of the
(fact that they have put into the field
candidates in opposition to everyone
of the Republican nominees who had
not been part Of the Frazier admin
istration which brought disgrace and
distrust upon our state from all cor
ners Of the North American continent.
In the light of these facts, we deem
it to be our duty to urge upon the
independent voters Of North Dakota
to lose no time in preparing for one
Of the most intensive campaigns that
this state has ever seen. On election
day, November It'll, the people Of
North Dakota will approve one of two
policies. The result will be notice to
the world, either that our people be-
lieve in rejecting to public office men
who have pilfered our treasures,
Iabused our confidence and filled our
Estate with bigotry and hate, or that
they believe in having public officials
and a Legislative body that insist on
honesty and efficiency in public af-
fairs and stimulate good will and
|neighborliness on all occasions.
To choose between these two propo-
sitions is matter of most momen-
tous Importance. We trust, therefore,
that the Independent voters turnout
the state will respond promptly and
willingly when they are called upon
by the local workers either for service
in the campaign or for their share of
the campaign fund so that there may
be no lack of organization and so that
the local Finance Committees may
have their allotments assembled and
in the hands of the treasurer on or
before the date set for completing that
part of the campaign work. To do
this will in many instances require
sacrifices and straining. The decision
on November 9TH, will however, be
of so far reaching Importance that it
will materially affect the welfare and
happiness of our people for years to
come. 1t is, therefore, worth while to
strain to the utmost for the purpose
of getting the voters to cast their vote
for honesty and efficiency in public
affairs, and peace and friendship.
among neighbors. No good citizen will
ever regret any reasonable sacrifice |
made or service rendered to help 10
finish the job of re-establishing the
good name and credit of our state
and good will among the people.

hear from every employer or other
person, who knows of position for
trained Veterans of the World War.
! Nearly seven thousand ex-service
men are being given vocational train
ing in Minnesota, North Dakota, So.
Dakota and Montana, for work in
about $50 different lines of trade, in
dustry, commerce and the professions.
This training is being given in COL
leges, schools, shops and industrial
plants. 1t is not theoretical but prac-
teal to the highest degree, making the
men capable of filling first class po-
sitions satisfactorily. 1t should be
borne in mind that the training that
is given each man is in some line of
work where his war disability will not
interfere with his success. The train
ing effectively overcomes his handi-
cap. AS one man expressed it "No
one-armed man is trained for a two
armed job"
Write the Veterans Bureau if you
know where a skilled Veteran can be
employed.

Editors Note: We are going to
tell you now about strip Of country
that is of unusual interest. 1t lies
on the west side of Snake river
northward from Firth and is some
times spoken of as New Sweden, but
the real New Sweden is southwest OF
Idaho Falls between Chat city and
Woodville on the west side of the
river.
In the early settlement of the
country the first bridge across Snake
river was built at Eagle Rock; the
next one was built at Blackfoot in
1880 and the first settlers on the
west side of the river were near
Blackfoot in the settlements now
known as Groveland, Rose, Lavaside
and West Firth. Farther up was
Woodville nearly opposite the town
of Shelley and a bridge was built
across the river there about twenty
or twenty-five years ago. About the
year 1906 new bridge was built at
Blackfoot and the old bridge was
moved up the river few miles and
has since been known as the Porter
Vile bridge. Another bridge was

to Japan for one visit after a few
years. They would like to move
into one of the towns for the winter
If they could get suitable quarters,
not too expensive and they would
like to get home of their own when
they can. The objection to staying
in the country during the winter Is
that it is lonely for them and their
lease expires so that they have moth
ing to remain for. They would like
to lease a farm for this year any
where from forty to 100 acres and

built across the river west OF Shell
ley and later another one was built
at Firth. People are now agitating
to get anoher one built across Snake
river opposite Wapello.
About thirty years ago some east
ern capitalists built two canals down
the west side of Snake river, tapping
the river above Idaho Falls. One
was known as the Great Western
and the other the Porter canal. The
Great Western extended as far down
as the present McDonaldville, it was
quite an elaborate affair, cost a
great deal of money and the COM
pany finally went into bankruptcy.
The Porter Canal was extended
down to some point north Of Firth.
Away back in the nineties several
Swedish families settled in what is
now West Firth, and they soon got
the reputation of being very thoro
with everything they did. They set
a new pace in farming and raised
better crops than most of the other
settlers did. The early settlers had
a habit Of making predictions as to
who would succeed and who would

of beets, ten acres of potatoes,

one acres of hay on the Riverview

A Pumping Project
A large amount of land lying on
the high bench west of Shelley has
been operated as dry farms for a
number of years by members of the
Sage family and others. Most OF
them are now abandoned or are be-
ing used in some other way. A
large tract that was being farmed
by Mr.. Thompson is now owned by
Mr.. Hayes, who has converted it
into pumping project. In this
tract are about 1000 acres and they
are irrigating 1400 acres with
water lifted by electric pumps. The
lift is twenty-five feet and the
volume of water 1900 inches. 1t
was installed in 1920 and this Is the
first season it has been in use.
Alfred K. Hansen is the water COM
missioner in charge of the tract. He
is also water commissioner on the
Oswold project farther up the val
ley. The families operating the
farm live in row of company
houses near the pumping plant,
there being about a dozen of them.
