STATE RELINQUISHES LAND
UNDER THE BIG LOST
RIVER PROJECT.
N. M. Ruick as the representative
of the Big Lost River Irrigation com
pany, appeared before the state land
board yesterday afternoon fund re
quested: that it authorize the gov
ernor on behiadf of the state to
relinquish certain lands heretofore
included in state desert land segre
gation list No. 8, in the Big
Lost river project, the land
by certain desert land entry men as
a consequence Of which the title of
the company to the remaining lands
in said segregation shall be confirm
ed. A resolution to that effect was
unanimously passed.
The application of former senator
Dubois for a state loan of 110,000 was
considered. On motion of State Au
ditor Taylor the loan was granted.
Mr. Taylor explained that this loan
was granted by the farmer board and
that tile applicant had incurred obliga
lions on the strength of this action,
and the honor of the state was at
stake. He said that he was opposed
to large loans and would, be opposed
if it were an original application. He
believed in small loans, assisting a
larger number of settlers.—Capital
News.
Selecting Apples.
Particular apples demand particular
places. It is a curious fact that out
of all the many varieties we have to
select from (here are only a very few
Hint will do very well, that will bring
out the very best qualities of their
fruit on any one farm. We find that
the reputations of all our leading fruit
districts have been built up largely on
the success of one variety. Take the
Gravenstein; it has probably done
more for the reputation of the An
napolis valley in Nova Scotia than any
other apple. And so Hubbardston in
the Hudson river valley, Northern Spy
in western New York, near Lake On
tario, York Imperial in the south
mountain region in Pennsylvania and
Albemarle Pippin in the south moun
tain region of Virginia, says a writer
in an exchange. Just one variety of
apple has built up the reputation of
each of these different fruit districts.
OVERTAXED.
Hundreds of Blaekfoot Readers
Know What It Means.
The kidneys are overtaxed;
Have too much to do.
They tell about it iin many aieihes
amd 1 pains—
Backache, hip pains, headuohe.
Early symptoms of kidney ills.
Urinary troubles, dropsy, Bright's
disease fallow.
A Blaekfoot citizen tells here the
way to keep the kidneys well
Mrs, J. L. Wilson, R. F D No 2,
Blaekfoot, Idaho, says: "I was sub
ject to attacks of kidney complaint
for about four years. This trouble
came on suddenly, the first symptom
being pains across the small of my
back that obliged me to take to my
bed for three or four days. I exper
imented with remedies of various
kinds but was unsuccessful in my
efforts for relief until I took Doan's
Kidney PiEs. They proved very ef
fective and in return for the benefit
they brought me, I strongly recom
mend them." (Statement given. Oct
ober 7, 1907).
RE-ENDORSEMENT.
Mrs. Wilson was interviewed on
June 13, 1910, and she said: "1 still
consider Doan's Kidney Pills a first
class kidney remedy. It gives me
pleasure to confirm Bill I have pre
viously said to favor of this prépara
tion.''

GEM STATE THREATENED
TARIFF REVISION WILL HURT
Ex-Congressman Hamer, Home From
Washington, Fears Extra Session
Will Turn Out Bad—High Com
pliments to Taft.
Congressman Thema« R. Hamer,,
who for the past two years lias been
Idaho's able representative in the
lower house at Washington, passet'
tlirough Pocatello today cm his way
heme to St. Anthony from the na
tioniL.il capital. Colonel Hamer now
retires to private life, after dis
tinguished seervices in behalf of the
Gem State. During his membership
of Idaho's congressional delegation.,lie.,
has been rated as oaie of the "stand
patters," andi during the pendency in
congress of the Payne-Aldrich tariff
bill, he worked hard to retain protec
tective duties cut these four products
in which Idialho is viituilly interested—
lead, lumber, wool andi sugar. He be
lieves thut an extra session of con
gress, which wLll convene on April 4,
threatens a revision of the scheduBes
mentioned, lint which case Idaho will
suffer.
In conversation with a Tribune main
this forenoon, Co giressmt-in Hamer
admitted that the events of the past
few months have compelled him to
adopt a pessimistic view of the out
come of the extra session.
"I fear,'' he saUk "that Schedule
K will be revised;'that lumber will be
placed irretrievably on the free Bst;
that the sugar schedule will be tam
pered with, and that the lead tariff
will be reduced- These are Idaho's
four principal products. Only the
fact that Idaho is one of the greatest
states im the union; that its. growth
cannot be stopped, and that a flood
of new homeseekers to the northwest
will leave Idaho richer and worthier
and abler to battle with events, re
moves a fear that tariff revision will
seriously hurt our state. It may un
settle conditions for a time, but Ida
ho will work out its muni fest des
tiny.''
j Colonel Hamer asserts that Presi
! dent Taft is one of the ablest men
i that ever sat iim the president's chair.
! He has a high admiration ami res
! pect for the chief executive, but d- p
n-cates the fact that owing to the pe
culiar conditions obtaining at Wash
j iugton at this time, the president is
j surrounded by men who are offering
i bad counsel and others who cannot
! be trusted.
j "It tries a man's' soul tot spend ,a
1 1 ouple ol' years in public life," said
j Colonel Hamer, "but President Taft
is being tried too much. However,
I have the firmest faith in las abil
ity to make good."

hearted woman.
Binks—Why do you think so?

AboutTMsWonderful FARM PUMP ENGINE
and PORTABLE POWER PLANT
Crowds of farmers have visited our Exhibition Rooms
just to see this wonderful Fuller & Johnson Farm Pump
Engine about which they have read so much in their farm
papers. We want EVERY farmer to come.
We show this engine doing the work lust as it does on the farm.
We have it hooked up with a force pump and demonstrate how it runs all
kinds of hand power machinery. We show how it can be moved about
with a wheelbarrow—how it can be attached to any pump in less than
five minutes. How easy it is to start and stop—how much —
work it does on a small
amount of gasoline.
