PITTSBURGH, March 18.-A de-
vice, which it is asserted kills bugs
and weeds, cultivates the soil and
provides plant food by wireless has
been patented by H. L. Roe, of this
city, and as soon as spring weather
arrives it will be demonstrated on
a farm near Valencia for officials
of State and county agricultural or
CARNATIONS.
The model exhibited by Roe re-
sembles a cultivator. 1t has two
large blades that cut through the
soil. Between these an electrical
current passes. Roe says through

RESERVOIR NEWS

r. e. Shpherd came home the
first of the week from Washington,
jubilant and full of confidence. The
obstacles which had seemingly
blocked the path of that which is so
vital to Idaho in general, have ap-
parently been removed In a series
of conferences held in the office Of
Senator r. Gooding, at Washington,
between the Idaho congressional
delegation, Mr.. Shepherd, president
of the Western States Reclama ton
association, Director of Reclamation
D. w. Davis, six representative
Indians from Fort Hall, Superin-
tendent Bonner and Fred T. Dubois,
an agreement was reached. This
signed document agrees to deliver to
the reclamation service an easement
over all such Indian land as may be
flooded by the American Falls reser-
voir upon the basis of capacity of
one million seven hundred thousand
acre feet. For this it is agreed the
Indians are to receive 100000.
Representative Addison T. Smith in
troduced a bill in conformity with
this agreement.
This solution will be ratified by
the senate quickly, l believe" said
Mr.. Shepherd. "The first conferences
held were not attended by Senator
Dubois at all. 1t is impossible to say
precisely what the per acre rights
paid to the Indians will be, but I
hink it will approximate $22. Pre-
vious to the installation of the dam
and creation of the reservoir the
Indians will have full right to the
use of their property and in case of
abandonment they revert to the
tribe and the Indians keep the price
paid"
''In the house we may encounter
some opposition, but | believe the in
defatigable efforts of Congressman
Smith and French over there and
the prestige of Borah and the bull
dog tenacity of Senator Gooding will |
combine to put the measure over.
Senator Work is known to be in ac-
cordance with this comprmise, which
gives the Indians more than their
lands have ever been appraised. One
hundred thousand dollars of the
seven hundred thousand is to be

sion at the commercial club rooms
with members of the COW corpora
ton and discussed the ms and outs
Of the undertaking of buying and
shipping in cows for sale. They
have had considerable experience In
such work and advised the local men
to this effect:
Some dairy cows can be obtained
in the State of Washington and
much more can be found in Wiscon-
sin. The dangers attending the Sc
lection Of stock are the logical one
of the growers usually preferring to
sell their poorer grades; the danger
of getting diseased animals; some
danger of them getting disordered
in transit; the certainty that the
change of climate will affect them
for while, the same as 1t does
people. Young calves suffer more
harm in shipping than do the ami
mails six months to year old. Cows
giving milk when loaded on the cars
do not usually produce much by the
time they are shipped 1000 miles
and it takes some time to get the
milk restored. The COW does not
usually recover from the journey
and change of climate and feed I'M
til the second year. Bred heifers
suffer less from shipping than cows
in milk, but there is danger of the
heifer losing the calf, especially II
the time of. birth Of the
calf when shipped.
The freight and other charges Of
buying and shipping runs from about
$40 to $25 head, according to the
size of the animals. Calves six
months to year old ride more in
car and the delivered cost Of the in
dividual is low. The young animal
egt acclimated quicker than the
more mature one, and the young anil
NAL can be brought to maturity here
at less expense than in Wisconsin,
where feed costs two or three times
as much. The man who wants to
buy cow ready to give milk pays
higher first cost, pays a higher
freight charge and receives the cow

and milk production low on account

have already described some
phases of the tremendous waste and
extravaganza of printing with NOV
able type, and have shown some of
the means by which type casting ma
chimes, so called, making solid slugs
to take the place of type, have in
creased efficiency in this county hum
dreds and thousands of per cent.
There will be another chapter re-
vealing other phases of it that will
be as startling as those already ex-
planned. l will now explain how the
printers of this county absolutely
drove themselves from the field so far
as bank printing is concerned, and
how it can be recovered. The same
principle is now operating to drive
the local printers out of nearly all
the other branches of commercial
printing, and the printers themselves
are at fault more than anyone else.
Banks use letterheads Of good
quality, and local printers usually
print letterheads one at time,
