Alba, Dec. 11. Weather clear and
cool; six Inches of snow and sleighing
good.
Stock Is chewing up lots of hay, and
doing fine.
The Percheron stallion lately pur
chased hare Is a coal black, I years
old, and weighs 2160 pounds.
The stage changes from 'coach to
sleigh at the Carney cabins and pas
rnngvrs can have a sleigh ride of 15
miles from there to Uklah for the
same price as rolling through in the
snnd.
. William Futter will winter his cattle
on Bridge creek this winter, making
his camp at the old Stover plaoe.
The crumbling of the old stone fort
Is all that la left to mark the once fa-
. moua battleground of the Umatilla
and Snake Indians, when the latter
oame to invade the hunting grounds
of the Umatillas. The fort is located
about two miles west of Alba, near
the mouth of Cooper creek, on a knoll
overlooking Snipe valley, and was
apposed to be built sometime in the
'40s. when the tribes fought with
bows and arrows. '
The wall is built in a complete cir
cle and takes In a radius of about
three-quarters of an acre.
The building and locating of the
fort shows strategy, skill and general
ship, and no treacherous could Invade
these walls without losing the number
of his scalp.
AIXSWORTU A HOODOO.
NoW Town la Springing Up on Site of
Two Former Failures.
"Alnaworlh" as a name for a town
in Washington has been a hoodoo, if
past history serves as a correct cii
terion, but who knows that by pre
fixing the little , word "New" that
hoodoo may be broken, says the Wal
la Walla Union.
Twice In the historic cycles of the
state of Washington Alnaworth has
marked the site of municipal uncer
tainty. The first time occurred when
a small townslte was laid out on the
south side of Snake river near Its
junction with the mighty Columbia.
The second waa on the opposite side
of Snake river, but the third effort
to perpetuate the name has just been
made and the townslte of New Alns
wortn has been platted and Includes
the first effort on the south side of
the Snake river.
The land, consisting of 100 acres,
is ostensibly the property of Q. W.
Rounds, but It is under the big Two
Rivers ditch, and it has been hinted
that the irrigation company Is largely
Interested in the promotion of the
new town.
This Idea Is given color by the re
port that there is some differences
eixsting between the Two Rivers
Townslte company and the company
owning the big Irrigation scheme, and
that the latter are directing a blow
at the aspiring burg by encouraging
a rival.
New AInsworth, as the new town
site is called, ia not lacking In rail
road prospects, for the Northern Pa
cific line from Pasco to Wallula now
passes directly through It, and within
the past two weeks two crews of sur
veyors have deigned to set lines of
stakes Into the proposed town, and
right up to the bank of the river.
One of the crews is known to have
been In the employ of the O. R. & N.
which set stakes for a branch that
leaves the main line at the station of
Humorist The other crew Is said to
have been In the employ of the Chica
go, Milwaukee & St Paul and came
from up the Snake river In the search
of a route to the Sound.

Committee Will Confer With Presi
dent on 28-Hour Law.
Four hundred sheepmen from every
part of the state are gathered at
Welser, In attendance upon the two
days' session of the Idaho Woolgrow
ers' association, which convened at
11 o'clock this morning In the Knights
of Pythias hall, with President Fred
W. Gooding In the chair, says the
Boise Statesman. The total member
ship of the association Is 650, so that
the representation Is the largest ever
known In the history of the organiza
tion. Many matters of vital import
ance to the woolgrowlng Industry will
rnme un before the association for
discussion, and the convention prom
Ises to be the most important In the
history of sheep raising In the west.
The report or the credentials com
mlttee was adopted, seating 380 dele
gate. Following the adoption of this
report the convention took up a dis
cussion of the dipping laws as passed
by the last session of the state legis
lature. There were many speeches
both pro and con, and at times the
discussion waxed warm and animat
ed.
A. G. Butterfleld of Welser, read an
able paper defining his position as
opposed to fall dipping. After dls
cuislon the matter was held In abey.
ance until the arrival of Dr. Hlckok
of fait Lake, who Is In charge of the
bureau of animal Industry In the
west
The matter of securing an amend
ment to the 2-hour shipping law, ex
tending It to 36 hours by act of eon
gress. was discussed at considerable
length.
On motion the chair was empow
ered to apnolnt a committee of three
to go to Washington and work with
congress for the proposed amend
ment President Gooding was made,
by unanimous vote, chairman of the
committee with power to name two
colleagues.
The month just past has broken all
records in the way of cash distribu
tions among the farmers of Idaho
and Utah. During the post month
the various sugar factories, whose
headquarters are in Salt Lake and Og
den paid off the farmers for all beets
delivered.
From closest estimates possible to
obtain It Is understood that the
amount of beets delivered at Lehl,
Provo, Spanish Fork, Sprlngville, Og-
den, Logan, Lewlston, Garland, Sugar
City, Idaho Falls and Blackfoot, ap
proximated 300,000 tons, which at
S4. GO per ton put the neat sum of II
350,000 into the pockets of the farm
ers, says the Deseret News.
Something like another 100,000 tons
of beets will be delivered before the
campaign has ended, and these will
be paid for on December IS.
To take care of the disbursement
of this Bum of money and to see that
it reached the farmers with all speed,
called for the most active exertion on
the part of the sugar officials and the
working forces in the various offices.
The gathering of so large a sum of
money also required some heavy ship
ments of currency and gold to and
from Salt Lake.
The Utah and Idaho companies do
their banking in Salt Lake with Mc
Cormlek & Co., State Bank of Utah.
Deseret National Bank, and the Utah
National Rank and the Amalgamated
company bank with the First National
of Ogden. The factories pay off the
farmers and their laborers by drawing
on the local banks.
Nearly all the local banks draw
their currency supplies from Salt
Lake, so that the drain on city banks
has been quite heavy during the week.
As the money goes from the farmers
to th various dealers In merchan
dise In Salt Lake and Ogden, however,
It Is only a question of a short time
before it reaches the banks again,
though In the circulation process a
good share of the cash is retained by
the farmers for their share of the
year's operations.
These sums of money, large as they
are, are by no means all that Is dis
tributed. Each factory has a pay roll
of from $10,000 to 320,000 a month,
and each one pays out large sums for
coal, coke, lumber, rock, chemical
supplies, and freight, the railroads
alone receiving enormous sums for
hauling the beets in and the sugar
out, while the campaign ' Is on and
long after.

LYMAN SON
When it is remembered that a few
years back all this activity was un
known, and that Instead of receiving
money from the outside for sugar,
Utah and Idaho were sending away
great sums annually for the sugar
their people consumed, .one gains a
small Idea of the Importance to the
west of the sugar, beet industry.

One hundred and sixty acres lying
on the hills this side of Wallula and
known as the old Howard ranch, was
sold at sheriff's sale this afternoon to
Pam Ash of Wallula for 1500, says the
Walla Walla Statesman. Claims
against the ranch, arising through
foreclosure proceedings amounted to
nearly 12000, so creditors will receive
about 25 cents on the dollar as a re
sult of today's sale. Tears ago the
land was capable of raising 25 bushels
to the acre, but the place has not been
farmed for a long time.
