New Order on Flour
Buying in Effect
Boise, Idaho. Feb. 11.
I^awrence Hansen.
County Chairman IT. S. Food Com.
In compliance with President's
proclamation of July 27, the Idaho
Food administration rule: No retail
er shall sell flour to exceed one quar
ter barrel sack, to any one customer
in city, nor to exceed one half barrel
to country customers.
Before sale every retailer will sat
isfy himself that customer 1ms supply
of substitute in his possession, or
must buy such substitute at time of
sale of flour to extent of one part
substitute to two parts flour, cxcenl
an allowance of five per cent, or five
pounds on each twenty-five pounds of
substitute in potatoes, must be made
at ratio of four to one, for instance,
in a sale of one quarter barrel sack
of flour, retailer will satisfy himself
customer buys or has in his posses
sion twenty pounds substitute and
twenty pounds potatoes, we deem ii
a violation of food control act, or
where any customer buys or has in
his possession more than a suffici
ent quantity of flour for thirty days
supply, where bought from one re
lailer, or several retailers, is also a
violation on part of retailer under
food act. to knowingly sell customer
more than thirty days supply. Will
expect everyone as a patriotic duty to
notify this office of violation, either
toy retailer or consumer, giving date,
name and specific instance.
From this date we will deem it a vi
olation of food control for any mer
c hat to sell to any customer more
than one dollar's worth of sugar, or
in any case to exceed twenty-five
pounds to one purchaser in city or
rural district, except hotels, restau
rants, boarding houses and similar in
stitutions, but in no case must sugar
or flour ,sale exceed to any one cus
tomer a thirty days supply, except
graham and whole wheat flour con
taining at least ninety-five per cent
of the wtfeat grain, may be sold with
ten percent substitute, except, far
mers may exchange at flour mills in
their vicinity under regular milling
terms for a thirty days supply o 1
flour, and no more.

will find his answer, strange as it
may seem, together witli his expla
nation and displays of the products
of the process, entirely convincing.
"Dehydrating," is what the process
is called—which is simply a somewhat
pedantic way of saying that it is a
process of extracting from the fruit
or the vegetable treated all the wat t
with which nature supplied it—every
last little bit of it. This process is
said to be as simple as it is wonder
ful; and the possibilities for saving
waste crops, for cutting transporta
tion cost and for very largely bene
fitting any community that can and
does have abundant yield from the
garden, the field and the orchard, can
be seen and realized at a glance. The
prospectus says:
"Our Dehydrators are in every day
commercial use and are a demonstrat
ed success and we guarantee them to
be all we claim for them. Their use
gives the growers extra money for
their by-products which had been lost
to them previously. It enhances tile
value of their land by reason of the
increased revenue derived from it. It
gives employment to the local people,
nart.icularly women. It. reduces the
-ost of living. It is truly a perfect
food product and has never been
equaled by any product called "dried"
for its natural taste, flavor or color,
and it has a very clean and bright
appearance,
"It is an entirely
system of
drying green fruits and vegetables
and other products by simple meth
ods heretofore unused and has ad
new
vantages that absolutely revolutionize
the economy of the farm and or
chard."
A number of our business men be
came greatly interested in the new
method as one especially needed on
this tract, and Mr. Dean offered to
bring a unit of the dehydrating ma
chine and set it up right here in or
der that assurance as to its practic
ability may he made doublv sure. That
this would be done seemed quite prob
able. The plant at Walla Walla Is
the only one at present in the west,

ber last—a statement certified by a
public accountant showing a net
profit of $8.107 74 in October and No

Bill Un,
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12— Senat'
progressives of botli parties rallied
today to the support of the drive
launched yesterday by Senator Cum
mins of Iowa, against the administra
tion railroad bill. Almost to a man,
they endorsed Senator Cummins' i
amendment which he declared will
have the American people from $150. j
000,000 to $200,000,000 a year in guar
antees to the railroads.
The supporters of the Cummins j
program, however, made it clear that
they are heartily in accord with the i
main purpose of the bill. They he-1
lieve that the president was entirely j
justified in taking over the railroads.
Senator Cummins contends that it i
is grossly unfair to the public to i
compensate the railroads upon the 1
basis of their average earnings for
1915, 1916, anti 1917. On this basis [
tlie government will guarantee an an
nual return of approximately $950,-1
000,000 to the railroads. He would j
give them a return based upon their 1
earnings for last year.
Congress yesterday began to prac
tice some of its own preaching. Af- i
ter two months of clamor for more I
speed and cohesion in the adminis -1
tration's conduct of the war. balanced |
by considerable lagging on their own j
part, botli houses today got down to
business with an energy and concert |
of purpose heretofore almost wholly j
lacking.
Both houses took up the railroad j
bill today and decided to give their j
whole attention to America's trans
portation problem. Prophesying var-1
led considerably as to when the men • [
sure would reach a. vote, but it was j
generally agreed definite action would
be taken within two weeks.
Republican opposition to the rail i
road bill has been to a large extent |
pacified by the amendment, voted in- i
to the hill against the administration's j
wish, fixing a definite time limit to j
the government operation of the,
roads.
Secretary McAdoo's war finance
corporation bill today was assailed
as "unsound" before the senate com
merce committee. ;
Attacks were made on the wide i
powers of the bill by Senators Ixidge. j
Smoot and Gore.
"Under its present form this cor
poration could be overwhelmed witli |
wildcat schemes," Senator l-odge de
dared.
"That depends upon the common
sense of those who arc running it."
answered Senator Williams of Mis- )
sissippi.
The senate fight over
conduct of the war will re-onen in
earnest again this week. Senator
Ollie James of Kentucky, an admin
istration leader, gave notice today
that jje will address the senate on
Thursday on "America and lier na
tional defense."
Senator Weeks of Massachusetts
gave notice that he will address the
senate on war legislation on Friday,

The "A" canal waters and upper or
southern part of the tract, land around
Rogerson and Amsterdam, while the
main canal takes a northeasterly
course from the reservoir and near
Hollister divides, the east branch be
ing No. 1 canal and the west branch
being No. 2 canal, and it is the latter
to which Commissioner Tallman re
fers as the "west lateral." A very lit
tle investigation will quickly convince
one that here on the west side under
the No. 2 canal would be the first
lands to be cut out. The character of
the land, lack of settlement, long dis
tance, seepage and evaporation makes
the operation of this canal uneconoml
cal to the system.
Before commencing field work, an
invitation was extended to Mr. G. M.
Hall, representative of the bond hold
ers, that his people participate in
making this selection but he in their
behalf declined to take part al
though he assured me that his office
»nd its records would be at all times
at my service, and for nearly three
months while on this tract, Mr. Hall
and others of his office. Messrs. Harry
Dietrich, Fred Bates, Geo. Grover and
J. C. Porterfield extended to me every
courtesy and all favors asked of them
were quickly and cheerfully given,
, Also at the same time a representative
meeting of the water users was held
In the town of Hollister and an invl

Guided by recommendations of the
state engineer and those of your
hoard, I selected a temporary list of
lands and finished ray first examina
tion on December 22. On the 15th of
January 1918, Mr. C. W. Wells, Carey
land agent of the interior department,
joined me and we went again over the
entire tract. Mr. Wells having had
long and varied experience in land
matters and the fact that I had pra
ceded him for several weeks on this
tract, made the last examination quite
thorough Indeed, and I therefore, do
not hesitate to recommend the list at
tached to this report as Carey land
to which patent should issue,
In the economy of things, I found
at times that it was necessary to ex
elude good land with fair improve
ments while perhaps poorer lands
with less improvements were includ
ed; but in making such selection, I
had in mind the elimination of iat
erals, but the proximity of main ca
nais, railroad, towns, schools, etc.,
also the solidarity of land to be re
tained, soil condition, rock, and both
water anfl air drainage. You will
note on the accompanying map that
the segregation yet lacks compact
ness. The very nature of the land
condition here accounts for this. In
this upper Snake river land for count
less years, the up river winds have
carried across the soil from west
slopes, south slopes and southwest
slopes to the lea side slopes leaving
thin soli and exposed rocks on the
former and deep soil on the latter.
This Is one reason, and the fact that
considerable land of the segregation
lies above gravity water, is another,
why the tract appears so spotted,
Since the actual Irrigable acres are
to be counted as part of the 35,000,
the method herein adopted brings a
much larger acreage to patent and at
the same time the best land only is
watered. Mr. Wells was in full ac
cord and In my judgment this will be
better for the parties concerned. It
is not alone the elimination of a few
thousand acres that counts but the
fact that we present a system eight
miles less in breadth with 28.86 miles
of large canal cut out, carrying with
it 48.45 miles of laterals or In all 77.3
miles of ditch besides other laterals
have been shortened.
If this tract can be fixed on lines
herein indicated, there is nrf reason
why the Twin Falls-Salmon should
not be a good place to live and to
prosper.
Respectfully submitted,
C. W. WHIFFIN'.
