He to was of the opinion that definite and valuable news would be obtainable a? soon as representatives of the réclama tion service met with representatives of the Idaho Power Company and Ore go. Short Lino official, I» Son Vor* CW " rl  RIDE. General surprise was expressed Tuesday following the reports received on the results of the much advertised match race between Man O' War, the American stallion and Sir Barton, the premier Canadian horse at Kenilworth, Ontario, October 12th, when the report came that Earle Sande did not ride the owner of Sir Barton. Unusual interest was aroused here in the race due to the fact that Sande, the jockey who was scheduled to ride Sir Barton, was an American Falls lad. The detailed report of the race showed that the Canadian's horse was ridden by Keogh, who was substituted for Sande only a few minutes before the race. The owner of Sir Barton said nothing concerning the incident except that Sande was not in good form. Man O' War won the matched race for $75,000 and a special $5,000.00 loving cup. A "FAIR" EWCWEEK (By T. H. Morrell, Agricultural Agent of Power County.) The executive committee of the Power County Farm Bureau, the county agricultural agent and the state extension division propose a cooperative campaign to organize a strong program of work for. Next year. Ultimate success depends on a carefully planned program arranged by the farmers themselves. Every farmer and housewife in Power County, whether a member of the Farm Bureau or not, may have a voice in the development and adoption of a program by attending association meeting in his or her community. The exact dates and places will be announced soon. The fundamental necessity of a strong farm bureau is a well-arranged program of work, and, incidentally, a large membership. The 1923 organization varies slightly from the past in that a larger membership fee is received. Commended. The growth of the farm bureau has brought new demands. To meet the growing distribution needs, the farm bureau must cooperate with other counties and other states. If we hope to avail ourselves of the familiar or gratuitous elsewhere, such action must be made. Accurate and frequent market reports direct orders. Miss Lou Alta Meltoa of Denver, is one of the few women engineers in the country. Misses. COOPERATION KEYNOTE OF BUREAU PROGRAM County Agent Outlines Proposed Plans for Extending Benefits to Every Farmer and Housewife in County— Growth Brings New Demands. Carefully toil by people employed by the organization of public funds. The county agent is a public servant, and is not a member of the law to enter the marketing work, other than for dem. This being the only constitutional purposes, case, special agents must be employed for this work. Few counties, however, are able to assume such a financial responsibility. As an alternative, it has been proposed by the state executive committee that each farm member pay $1 for the state organization, with which state secretary may be employed whose duty will be to manage the organization work and see that it functions. As counties cooperate within a state, so do states cooperate in the Federation of Farm Bureaus of America. 10 do so necessitates additional expense. Naturally, the question arises, where will the money come from? It seems, no more than just that a new association should stand in the direct advantage of such an association. This being a local conclusion, it is proposed that the national association at Pud. C-piotW^ of the American Federation of Farm Bureaus will be formed. The plan proposed is that each one dollar and a half to the state. A $2.50 fee is the minimum for 1921 provided the local people approve the plan as presented. In all cases throughout the state and nations, the plan will have a voice in this proposed change in policy. The meeting will be open to all. ENGINEERS WILL MEET HERE SATURDAY FOR CONFERENCE The Burley chapter of the American Association of Engineers will meet Saturday and Sunday in American Falls, according to the announcement yesterday of F. Schlopkohl, secretary of the chapter. Mr. Schlopkohl is arranging a program of entertainment and business that will attract en-nue from Burley, Idaho Falls, Pocatello. Rupert, Blackfoot and other points. Interest in the progress of the American Falls dam is bringing the engineering department to the forefront of the project. R. B. Smith, president of the visiting chapter, has been instrumental in bringing the project to the forefront of the project. The meeting of the Rexall Drug Company, which was conducted at the Falls, has been a significant event for the community. The project, which aims to provide a better stock of dairy products, has been instrumental in bringing the project to the forefront of the project.

This man will work with the county agent to assist those who are interested in making a start in the business. Those who intend to dig pit silos will be urged to get at this work as soon as possible. If the concrete cure is built before the cold weather comes, the rest of the work can be done at leisure during the winter when no time is pressing. By early spring, the silos should be completed and at the coming year. The question of feeding it must also be understood. If enough of the people wish it, arrangements will be made to bring in a number of good bulls, and if possible to form several big clubs. The principle of breeding up on the foundation stock we already have is the best and cheapest way of finally getting producing cows. Purebred sires improve each generation of cows. The opening of the creamery will be the natural result of this campaign. It is expected that thousands of farmers will thus find themselves in the county and the county. The successful farmer who keeps cows, cows, and other livestock will be successful farmers who will be successful farmers.

I will arrive tomorrow according to The contract for guaranteeing titles of all land in Power county coming under the contour of the reservoir has been let to the Power County and American Falls Abstract companies jointly, according to the terms of their joint bid. The contract approximates 0(| and calls for the completion of test holes are being In the river bed from the barge leased from S. A. C. Nelson. The work within 120 days, with a heavy forfeit for any extension over that period. The abstractors are now working night and day to meet the terms of their contract. Blanchard, publicity man for the reclamation service was in Albany today for a few days east. He is well in condition generally, and believes that the Snake River valley is a position to take advantage of any opportunities that are of use to him. It is currently engaged in showing pictures of communities in the area. The survey, which has been ongoing for several years, has been progressing rapidly under the direction of Attorney Patrick and C. Schmidt. Mr. Schmidt is a real estate man long in American Falls and knows property values and best interests. His services are federated; bringing out the reclamation service by the reclamation service. The reclamation service, when completed, will form a estimate the probable cost of the town site, or that portion of it which will eventually be submerged. The greater part of the work allotted to Mr. Cope and his assistants will be on dry land, and not in the bed of the river. One engineering problem that must be solved, is the location of the ledge, or fault, under the hill on the west bank of the river in line with the crest of the falls. As it is, it must give consideration. To the location of this fault, a large amount of drilling will be necessary to the location of this fault. A large amount of drilling will be necessary to the location of this fault. Reclamation officials are now speculating on the outcome of their meeting early in October with representatives of the Idaho Power Company and the Oregon Short Line in New York City. Should an agreement be reached regarding their mutual problems, the work of constructing the dam and reservoir would be greatly simplified. Reclamation engineers and clerks, beginning considerable difficulty in finding houses in which to live, several families would move in immediately. The accommodations for them were not large. OFF FOR HUNT. C. Lee French and G. M. Oliver left Wednesday morning for Mackay, where they will hunt elk in the Sawtooth mountains. Friends are looking forward to their safe return Sunday.
