Twin Falls Settlers
Grateful for Water

Voicing appreciation of the actor
of the water users of the Upper Val
ley irrigation canals in donating
water to save the crops of settler:
under the North Side Twin Falls pro
ject, R. E. Shepherd, manager Of
the latter project has written to w
10. Cotton, irrigation engineer Of
Idaho Falls, the following letter:
1--WE desire to have you advise US
the names of the several canals, their
officers and directors, who are do
North Side project. We wish to ex-
press to these people directly our
appreciation of their generosity,
which, l assure you, we feel deeply.
Never in my experience on the North
Side have we found ourselves in the
present condition l want to tell
you it is pretty hard to see the
years work go up in smoke, as you
might say, with no way to meet the
fixed expenses. The short run which
we shall enjoy as result of this act
of the upper canals will mean more
than 1 can tell you, not only in saw
ing considerable crops, but is justi-
flying our faith in our neighbors. 1t
is a genuine Christian act, and is
looked upon here in that light.
Fortunately, we have little wat
er in Lake Walcott, also little in
Jackson lake, which we have been
holding to use at such time as would
save our livestock. AS you know, we
have been endeavoring to get the
dairy business going, and 1T looked
this time as il we should have to
move our stock out. This additional
water 1 think will enable US to keep
our stock, which means great deal.
"As soon as you are able, should
like to know what quantities OF wat
er each canal will turn out, and the
time when this will be done. We
shall have capacity at Lake Walcott
so that this can be accumulated and
drawn out uniformly; and with the
water we have there, think it can
be managed in a very satisfactory
way. l understand from you over
the telephone that you have some
thing like $4,000 acre feet in sight
now, and that the total will probab-
ly be brought up to an amount suf-
ficient for an eight-day run. l real
lie that it will be impossible for any
canal to tell just what their contri-
button will amount to. l can as
sure you that none of this will be
wasted, and that every bit will do a |
great amount of good. We also ap-
)reciate the willingness of your COM
nittees to assist in this matter. You
will of course keep Mr.. Baldwin ad-]
yised."

PLAN FOR LARGE CROWD AT
REPUBLICAN CONVENTION

Idaho Falls is preparing to enter
tina the largest crowd in the history
of state political conventions when
the republican nominating conven-
ton meets in that city August 26 for
the purpose of choosing candidate
for United States senator and an en-
tire state and congressional ticket.
The official call for the convention
provides for 127 delegates but 1t is
stated that many counties, especial
ly in the southern part of the state,
will elect larger delegations with
each delegate being entitled to a
fraction of a vote. Large delega-
lions are also expected to attend
from the northern section of the
state, as many political leaders and
others will take this opportunity to
make their first trip over the north
and south highway which will be
formally dedicated in connection
with the trip of the state editors to
their annual convention at Grange
Vile next week.

Democrats are Locked
in Fight over Leaders

| The Democratic national conven-
ton which met in New York City
| Tuesday, June "a, to nominate a can
didate for president and vice presi-
dent and adopt a platform, is still
in session and up to time of adjourn
ing at midnight Wednesday, until
Thursday morning, July 8, at 10
o'clock had gotten along with its
program to the extent of having
adopted a platform. The rest re-
mains to be done. The convention
appears to be hopelessly deadlocked
so far as the candidacy of the lead
ing aspirants, w. G. McAdoo and
Governor AL Smith of New York,
the vote on the forty-second ballot
standing: McAdoo, sos 4-10;
Smith, 31S 6-1O; Davis, West Vir-
ginia, 81; Underwood, 39h; Cox,
55; Glass, % "; Ralston, 80; Rob-
inson, "a; Richie, II ", Davis, Kan
sas, 8; Salisbury, g. Owen, 4; Suel-
lacy, 1; not voting, ".
The convention has been marked
from the beginning by scenes of tur-
bulence, seldom equalled in the his
tory of political conventions in the
United States. Bitter fights over
certain planks in the platform have
been followed by even more bitter
fights over the selection of candi-
date for the presidential nomina-
ton.

Water Shortage Makes
for Greater Efficiency

The people of the Snake river val
ley are increasing the efficiency O
water this season so much that the,
are approaching what engineers cal
the duty of water. They are work
ing religiOusly to make the water
do full duty, and crops are in goot
condition, with prospects of smaller
losses on late maturing crops than
has generally been expected.
Under the government manage.
ment on the reservation they follow
strictly the order to shut the water
off of everybody that wastes it.
| though the offender can get 1t back
by making repairs of whatever it was
| that caused the waste, and promis-
ing that 1t shall be so managed that
1t shall not happen again. There is
less water in the roads this year than
ever before, and many people having
tracts that can only be watered by
using it wastefully, making ponds
that do not yield returns, are letting
such tracts go without water and are
turning it to account in other ways,
some by giving it to neighbors and
some by donating it to the lower val
ley to save them. The committee
looking after donations for the Twin
Falls North Side tract are sending
down a volume of water that it is
hoped and believed will save the
corn planted for the support of the
dairy stock, and the commissioners
of Twin Falls county adopted reso-
lutions thanking the people of the
upper valley for their generous gifts
to stricken people. The resolu-
ton was spread upon the minutes
and sent to the press of the upper
valley for publication. They are
more grateful because they know
that it means a sacrifice of consid-
cradle in the upper valley, to give
1t up to them. A good many people
had already left some of their lands
without planting any crops, on &C
count of the expected water shortage
and now they are curtailing again,
for the safe of the folks below. Some
of the canals could not donate any
of their water because of gravelly
land requiring constant flow in the
canal, and because of the natural
shortage for their own lands. In
these hot days more people than ever
before, are working night and day
to see how little water they can get |
along with and how much they can
help others with the rest of 1t. They |
are studying hard to see where the
high values lie, in crops and are
seeking to save the high values and
think twice before using water at all

it, proved fatal and she passed away
at St. Gabriel's hospital here Wednes-
day at $3.50 p. m.
1t was at first thought that Mrs.
Yanta would recover but on account
of her age, Ct years, the shock was
too great. She was burned about the

at the time, and she walked several
blocks to the home of a relative for
help.

country when young woman. The
family has resided in Little Falls and
vicinity for thirty-six years. Mr..

Young Swanville Burglar
Sent to State Reformatory
John Schneider %, Pleads Guilty to
Burglarizing Store in that Village
Wednesday of Last Week

John Schneider, %, of Swanville
township, pleaded guilty before Judge
Nye in district court here Wednes-
day afternoon to a charge of third
degree burglary in connection with
the burglarizing of confectionery
and pool hall in Swanville last Sun
day night. He was sentenced to the
state, reformatory for an indetermi-
nate term of not to exceed five years
and will be taken there tomorrow by
Sheriff Felix. No leniency was shown
since the young man had been arrest
ed for that theft before and this was
his third offense.
Schneider was arrested on Monday
and was brought before Justice Ger
ritz that afternoon. He waived eX-
animation and was bound over to
the grand jury under $500 bonds. He
had previously made a complete
signed confession to the authorities
and after his arraignment he ex-
pressed willingness to enter a plea
of guilty.
The burglary occurred some time
Sunday night and twenty packages of
cigarettes, two packages of tobacco
and four boxes of snuff were taken.
Entrance was gained through rear
door hole being cut in a tin panel
in order to unlock the door. Blood
stains were found on the door and
lock and when SCHNEIDER was arrested
fresh cuts were found on his hand.
He admitted the theft and signed a
complete confession.-Little Falls

So many farmers are now selling Sweet
Cream to the Blue Valley SWEET CREAM
Creamery that we are forced to build on
full second story. Bids for this work are
now being called for and the work will be
completed as fast as possible. The new
story will more than double the capacity of
the plant.
This strong endorsement from the
farmers of this part of Minnesota shows
that they have confidence in us and approve
of our methods and our prices, and that we
furnish them better market for Sweet
Cream than they have had before. Our sys-
tenn of butter manufacture and direct mar
keting will continue to give them the high
est prices for Sweet Cream.
The manner in which more and more
farmers have become customers of the Blue
Valley SWEET CREAM Creamery is most
remarkable. Everybody knows the campaign
of Misrepresentation that has been waged
against us ever since we announced that we
would establish our first SWEET CREAM
Creamery here. In spite of this campaign,
the like of which has never been seen before
anywhere in the United States, our business
has grown to such an extent that we must
now, less than eight months after opening
our SWEET CREAM Creamery, put on a
second story. We had hoped to do that three
or four years from now.

65.19 Cents for
January

Here are our figures for January, and
you can judge for yourself, just how we can
pay such high prices and why we can and
will continue to do so.
The Blue Valley SWEET CREAM
Creamery paid the farmers who sold it Spec
ial Sweet Cream during January an average
price of 65.19 cents per pound of butterfat.,
The average sales price of the high
Sweet Cream was $3.50 cents per pound i'm
New York City. -: -
Each pound of butterfat makes one and
One-quarter pound of butter. Therefore we
received for each pound of butterfat bought,
$3.50 cents plus One-fourth of that amount
Q4.72 cents), or a total of 70. 81 cents. The;
following table shows the result:
Ave. price received for
-. January butterfat 73.61c
Ave. price paid for
January butterfat -. 65.19c
Margin for manufacturing
and sales cost and profit SAC
With margin of S.42 cents on every
pound of butterfat bought in Special Sweet
Cream during the month, don't you think we
can afford to pay this high price and con-
tinue to pay just as high prices, in relation
to the new York butter quotations?
&. You have been told by bad advisers how
Blue Valley would pay high, fictitious price
to begin with. Is price that gives us S.42
cents margin on every pound of butterfat
fictitious? We have already shown you that
in September our margin was 7.SSc, i'm OctO--
Der 7.74c, in November S.67c, and in Decem-
Der S.27c. Do these margins show our
prices to be fictitious, as your advisers said
they would be? ..~.'.~. -.-.--.'.:

Friday evening the Paynesville
hoop artists came over confident of
administering a defeat to Sank
Centres fast going Legion quintet,
but met with sad disappointment.
The game was fast, clean, and a
knockout in every way. The Paynes-
vile aggregation are a speedy out
fit of pill shooters but they could not
overcome the locals fighting spirit
and basket ball art as the score OF
% to IA showed.
Tuesday evening of this week the
Long Prairie town team came over
for revenge, determined to win and
wipe out the previous defeat on their
own floor by a close score. After
staging one of the most brilliant at
tempts at comeback ever witnessed
on the local floor, and playing to the
last second with that "we can win
we must win" spirit, the visitors lost
by score of 35 to 6.
The game started with bang and
so did Gales for he shared a keen
field goal shortly after the opening
overture. Long Prairie then cut loose
and gathered in a field goal. Then
Dewey helped along the Long Prairie
cause and they gained free throw
point.
The Legion ten cut loose and be-
gan to show speed and at the end Of
the first half the score stood Is to
5.
Between halves something hap
pened in the dressing room of the
Long Prairie outfit; not much infor-
nation is available as to what took
place for the boys were as talkative
about it as is a Scotchman offering
treat. Suffice it to say the Long
Prairie gang came back on the floor
with fighting spirit and tore right
into the Legion but at the end of
the third quarter had gained only one
point.
The fourth period saw whirl-
wind of play and in the face of al
most certain defeat the visitors tore
into the Legionaires like hungry lions
after meat. But the Legion players
very easily evaded their onslaught.
No one man on the local team
starred in this game as all We're
playing up to top notch. Regard
less of 35 to 6 score the game was a
fast, hard fought clean battle. The
winning of this game gives the Le-
gionaires IL straight victories.

HANDBAG OUT OF

to the fact. Mr.. and Mrs. Lang,

A Blue Valley Pledge

We pledge all farmers here for all
the years to come that we will CON-
tinue paying the same high prices
for Sweet Cream, in relation to
New York butter quotations, that
we have been paying in the past.
This pledge means something to every
farmer. If you look back over the past year
you will find that we have never broken
single promise, have never made a state
ment that was not backed up by facts and
have never said anything that was not the
full truth. If you will look up the record of
Blue Valley since our Company was organ
lied back in 1900, you will find that every

every promise made to the farmers. There
