BILL
OBJECTIONABLE
TO IDAHO men

The house of representatives Mon
day passed bin previously passed
by the senate, authorizing the gov
ernment to accept title to any pri-
vately owned lands Within the ex-
terror boundaries of forest reserva-
tiuns, and to give in exchange an
equal value of surveyed non-mineral
forest reserve lands within the same
state.
This bill will not enable owners
of scattered tracts within the inter-
ior Of reserves to get lands acces-
sibly located around the borders OF
reserves, but will also make possible
exchange of railroad, state and 9TH
er private holdings scattered through
reserves, for compact bodies of land,
which, when exchange is completed,
will be eliminated from the reserve.
The blu differs from exchange
bills of THE past in that it makes va
lue instead of acreage the basis OF
exchange. Under this legislation
either timber, grazing or homestead
land may be acquired by exchange.
All exchanges, to be under the di-
rection of the secretary of agricul-
ture.
The senate irrigation committee
will meet Tuesday to report ON the
latest Smith-McNary $350,000, 900
reclamation bill, which now pro-
vides solely for irrigation of arid
lands and drainage swamps and
overfiowed lands. The committee
has threshed out the subject and will
not hold further hearings, but will
attempt ait one meeting to report the
bill to the senate. The house COM
mittee has not yet acted on this bill.

Creating Wealth BY Spending.

After the Civil war this country
entered upon period of tremendous
expansion of railroads and indus
tries, and in doing this increased
its wealth so rapidly as to be able
to pay off its debt far in advance of
what would have been possible un-
der any niggardly system of with
holding money from wise expendi-
lures of that kind. We cam today
better afford to create wealth by
large construction undertakings
than we can afford to skin down to
the ndrrowest possible point i'm or
der to save, There is with hold
ing that leads to poverty; there lis
wise expenditure that leads to
prosperity. The building of the
Nicaraguan canal, the development
of Muscle Shoals, making the Ten
nesse river available for transporta
ticn, the improvement of the st.
Lawrence ais proposed, giving the
west a direct water route to the
ocean-would all, we believe, come
under the head of wise expenda-
tures, viewed from every possible
angle.

The New Postmaster General.

By appointing DIR. Hubert Work
to succeed Will H. Hays as post
master general, President Harding
brings to the cabinet its first physi
ciaJn and dts second Coloradoan.
Incidentally, he increases the pro.
portion by which the west has been
rep esented among Ihis advisers.
Doctor Work, for all his political
activity and his recent service as
hrst assistant postmaster general,
is essentially a medical man. He
graduated from medical school,
served as practi cling physician, be-
came specialist i'm mental and
nervous diseases and then became
an influential figure i'm medical as
sociations. In the war he was a
lieutenant colonel of the medical
corps. So dt seems that he is "fi.st
md foremost" If not first and last
4 physician.
What will be THE effect of hav.
mig so influential medical man dr
me cabinet one can only surmise
There are, as has been pointed out
before, no precedents to guide us.

Brazing Fees to be Raised.

The forest service is wording out
a new scheme for leasing grazing
lands within forest reserves, which.
when completed, will materially in
crease the grazing fees on most of
the forest rarga. This plan will
not be ready to enfo ce this season,
but may be announced before per-
m1ts are issued for 1928.
The first information regarding
this proposal was given by Forester
Greeley before the house appToPEia-
tions committee, at which time he
showed that on the present leasing
basis the forest service is realizing
more money each year from grazing
than from the sale of timber. Last
year, he said sales Of timber brought
i'm slightly less than $4,000, 900,
while the grazing fees amounted to
$2,415,O0O.

Party for Sunday School Boys.

The party given by Mrs. Selix to
her s. S. class of boys, the Giants,
in the church vestry Saturday after
noon was much enjoyed by the
youngsters. Each member of the
class was allowed to bring one visi-
tor. Besides many games, they had a
peanut hunt, and not the least en-
joyable was the real Thought and
5alk on the S. S. and class duties,
and interests. They sat around ex-
tended tables and were served sand
widhes, cake, cocoa and candy with
as much joy to the teacher, as to
che class.

253 coyotes and six bobcats during
the month of February. The wealth
er during the month was unusually
wintery throughout the greater part
of the state, and a large number of
the animals poisoned win not be
found until the snow disappears
next spring.

fairs of the Overland National bank

of rs per cent, has been authorized
by the comptroller of the currency
and official announcement of which

Checks for payment of depositors

positors may get their money.

paid this week, Mr.. Cunningham
said it would releace approximately
10000 He said The had paid

BUSINESS OUTLOOK
IN MOUNTAIN Home
FOR coming SEASON
Plenty Of Water, Surplus
Hay Moved and Mining
Boom Coming, Cause for
Optomistic Feeling.

Mountain Home is ON the verge
of one of her most prosperous years.
There has been an unprecedented
amount loft rain and snow during
the winter, the reservoirs OF the CO.
operative irrigation company are
bank full, farmers will have water
for larger crops than they have
been able to raise in several years;
the reorganized First National bank
Will again be open for business pro-
badly before another issue OF tine
Republican reaches its Subscrl Ders
fsome of whom by the way, are de-
linouent i'm their subscription pay
ments) and the $250,000 of deposits
i'm that institution will again be-
come liquid assets.
A mining boom of real proportions
. is incubating i'm the upper country
and when lit gdts fully under way
there will be 1000 people in the
hills prospecting and working IN
the development of mines long der
lnant. These people will have to be
fed and the provision merchants OF
Mountain Home will furnish the
food, while hardware and clothing
men will also come in for their share
of the trade that will come from
the camps. The mines of Gilmore
county have lain dormant for more
than thirty years, but Within the
past yenr newcomers have pur-
chased the old diggings, from At
lanta to the Smoky, and are spend
ing eastern money in am effort to
put them on the paying basis that
made this the worlds best country
in the two decades from '63 to '85.
Some of the old mines were fabul-
Gus producers and whe the pay
dirt is there now or not, no one has
been raised lin the west without be
coming familiar with THAT mining
camp slogan about the life in out
side money.
TheIre is practically no road work
to be done in the immediate Vicinity
cf Mountain Home, nor are There
eny funds worth mentioning in the
rlyad district, but there will be road
work In THE Sunnyside district and
On Smiths Prairie, both of which
will help stabilize wages and keep
IA supply of transient labor coming
SO THAT other employers may employ
the help they need without long de-
lays.
Survey wclk will be continued on
the canal from American Falls and
it is altogether probable that before
fall we will receive THE glad news
that the reclamation service can
bring us water, and possibly con-
gress will have made an appropria-
tion that will make the first start
p.ssible ON the actual conStruction
woirk.
The price of sheep and wool are
advancing on THE market, cattle are
slightly better property than they
were last fall, wheat is worth more
than a dollar bushel on the tracks
at Mountain Home, hay is SELLING at
less than cost of production but the
present cold snap will use up the
greater part of the surplus and the
farmers cam begin putting up their
1922 crops of feed without a big
stock carried over from last year
staring them i'm the face. Probably
next season the price will rdhect
the gains nthe wool industry and
formers can again begin to make
scme worthwhile profits.

FRESH EGGS r. TIRE YEAR

Clemson College, April 17.-During
April and May, when eggs are plcnt-
full, Of higher quality, and the mar
kct price is very low, is the best
time to preserve eggs, according to
n r. Mehrhof, Extension Poultry
Specialist, who suggests that only
strictly fresh eggs should be prcscrv-
ed, that dirty eggs or eggs that have
been washed should not be used, that
washed eggs will not keep because
the protective coating has been re-
moved b ythe washing, and dirty
eggs will become tainted in flavor,
and that infertilc eggs arc better
than fertile eggs for preserving.
The water glass method is one of
the most satisfactory methods to use.
The commercial water glass, which
can be bought at any drug store, is
used in the following proportions:
| quart of water glass to 10 quarts
of pure water.
Water that has been boiled and
then cooled is preferable. The mix
ture should be stirred until the in
gradients arc thoroughly mixed.
a clean stone jar is the most suit
able containcr. The eggs should be
placed in the water glass so that
those at the top are covered by at
least two inches Of The liquid. The
jar had best be covered in order to

HOW TO FERTILIZE
SWEET POTATOES

Clemson Cc,lo,e, april 17.-The
following suggestions for fcrtilizing
sweet potatoes are recommended to
South Carolina farmers by the COM
mittee recently appointed by Director
Long to formulate a policy for de-
vcloping the sweet potato inustry
in this state. The policy, published
as Extension Circular 81, may be had
upon application from the Exten-
sion Service, Clemson College, S. C.
Kind-As rule 8-3-3 is recon-
mendcd, for clayey soils and 8-3-G
for the lighter and poorer soils.
However, the growers should be
governed to Il large extent by local
conditions. The use Of stable ma
nurc is cautiously recommended,
since if improperly applied it re-
suits in disease. Nitrate of soda and
sulphatc of ammonia, if used, should
be used with caution.
Amomt-Four hundred to six
hundred pounds per acre of the pro-
per formula should be used on soils
which produce bile of cotton per
acre Six hundred to twelve hun
drcd pounds per acre should be used
on the lighter and poorer soils.
How Applied Fertilizer should
be applied in the drill and mixed
we'll with the soil. If barnyard ma
nme is used, it should be applied
broadcast and preferably given to
The preceding crop.

bushels arc bought and sold in the pit.
Deliveries are rarely made on the
contracts. Some traders have esti-
mated the actual deliveries of wheat
at less than one per cent.
Minneapolis is greater cash wheat
market than Chicago, but trading in
futures is much smaller, amounting to
about 1,400,000,000 bushels year,
according to the Federal Trade Com
mission. The great futures market
is centcred in the Chicago pit.
We have the statement of Senator
Arthur Cappers paper that at is be-
coming more and more evident that
the grain pit Of the Chicago Board
Of Trade is the most colossal gamb-
ling hell the world has ever known"
Senator Capper says the 1920 corn
crop was sold ID times over before
it was marketed, that farmers lost
millions and the "lambs" who played
the game lost other millions.
Commissions on cash sales do not
commission houses. One Chicago
house, reported by the Federal Trade
Commission, received $4,000 in COM
missions on cash grain sales in 1916
and $4,000 DIN commissions on fu-
ture transactions. Even on the con-
scrvativc figures Of Professor Boyle,
commissions on these future trades
II the Chicago pit amount to $12,500,-
600 year, while no accurate estimate
of the winnings of the spectators
have been possible, though vast sums
must be involved when 20,000,000, 900
bushels Of grain are bought and sold
in 4 year.
Over private wires, the Chicago
houses send out their "gossip" to the
branch houses all over the country.
Says the Federal Trade Commissions
report: "Much that is sent over the
wires is Of the nature of rumor, some
is doubtless sheer invention, and Of
ten dishonest invention to influence
prices to ones advantage" Some
times there is advice as to the time to
buy.
Vast fortunes have been made and
lost IN grain speculation. The private
wire system have put more than 200
cities in direct, daily contact with the
pit, and increasing numbers are being
induced to play the market. Twenty
