Dodge of thla city, Iowa's Illustrious soldier and the distinguished survivor of the civil war period, aent out a letter to his com rades in the Ninth congressional district in which he stated, among other things, that Congressman. Walter I. Smith wrote the Inscriptions of the Fifteenth and Six teenth Iowa regiments at Shiloh. Certain papers In the Ninth district which are fav orable to the candidacy of Attorney General II. W. Byers and hostile to the renomlna tlon of JudgeSmlth have seen fit to dispute v the word of General DodKe. ' In a recent letter, President Taft con firmed what General Podge had told his , old comrades in the Ninth district In his ' letter to General Dodge. President Taft wrote 4s follows on this particular sub Ject: "I note your request to me to confirm the statements that you make in respect to Judge 8mlth'a connection with the in- scrlptlons on the Shiloh monuments, and Judire Smiths efforts in behalf of the placing of General Grant's statue. 1 know Judge Smith well, and know a great many more reasons for wishing him to come back to congress than those you state, for regard him as one of the ablest and one of the best men in congress, and one of the strongest lawyers and debaters on tho floor. But as you Invoke my, personal testimony in respect to certain facts In your letter, do not hesitate to say that Judge Smith's connection with the securing of the In scriptions which are now on the Shiloh monuments was direct and close. Many Iowa persons took part In the discussion, and many long arguments were made, and the matter acquired such Importance that I delayed deciding tha question after the arguments were made, as I recollect it, for several months; and at the end of that It ma snanr Alllimn unit Dolllver. and v Secretary Shaw and Judge Smith came to me with an inscription drawn by Judge Smith which was offered and which adopted as a solution of the difficult po sition presonted." Old Letter from Cumnilns Judge Smith yesterday made public the following letter received by him over four years ago from Senator A. B. Cummins who was then governor of the state of Iowa, which it) a direct contradiction to the friends and supporters of Attorney Gen eral H. Webb Byers: "executive Office, Des Moines.

"As you know, I cannot speak authorl tatlvely for the Iowa commission of the representatives of these two regiments, but I feel sure that insofar as the point over which I have had the controversy namely, the time of the engagement the proposed inscriptions, a copy of which you enclose, will be satisfactory. There is so little dlffertnce between these that I pro. posed and the ones you send me, in this regard, that they ought to be accepted. and I have no doubt they will be, i "The members of the Fifteenth Iowa jV will feel budly about the change in leases, but It Is nit likely that they will insist on any further contest. I am not familiar with the merits of this part of my argu ment. I only know that they will always bellcv that the government has not given them credit for all that they suffered In that engagement. I will do my best to make these Inscriptions the end of the matter, if they are finally approved by the secretary of war.

The question whether the teachers of the public schools of Council Bluffs shall be required to undergo a physical examination Is now under consideration by the Board of Education of this city. A special meeting of the board was held yesterday morning, at which this matter formed the subject of a prolonged discussion. Representatives oi the newspapers were not Invited to the meeting and no information as to the opin ions expressed by the different members on the question was given out. Although not so officially stated, it is understood that the proposed physical ex amination is a preliminary step to "weeding out' some of the veteran teachers, which some of the members or tne coara are in favor of. The matter was finally referred to a special committee composed of Di rectors Shoedsack, Reed and Hendricks, who were directed to make a thorough In vestigation of the proposition and report to the board at its next meeting. Director G. A. Schoedsack, chairman of the committee on teachers, is said to have brought the matter before the board, with the recommendation that all teachers before being employed be subjected to such an examination. The board attended to some minor matters and formally accepted the new school build ing at Oak street and Broadway from the contractors, Wlckham Bros.

THIRTEEN THOUSAND ACRES OF LAND, the richest, most fertile in the United States. It is INCONCEIV ABLE THAT ANY MAN NOT AN This letter was found on West Farnam street yesterday. The information it con tains is most valuable for any man or woman who has a little money' to invest in property , which will assuredly double in value. Read EVERY WORD OF THIS LETTER. It may mean YEARS OF EASE FOR YOU. IDIOT could fail to avail himself of this great advantage. You can double your money in Idaho if you will take those chances that come your way. This is one of them. Write to THE BURLEY COMMERCIAL CLUB for maps, data, dates, and the state's appraisment BURLEY, Idaho, April 28, 1910. liss A. C Harrington, 3552 "West Farnam St., Omaha, Neb., My dear Miss Harrington : You will remembrr me, perhaps, if I recall to you our meeting on the steamer, a chance ac quaintance, merely, during your Alaska trip last summer. I am the engineer and surveyor, who told you of irrigation and irrigated lands in Idaho At the time you will recall, I promised to "put you on," if I ever knew of something "real good" out here; something you could handle. Since my return to Idaho and to Burley, I have been elected Secretary of the Commercial club and for that and many other reasons, I know two or three things that may be of value to you; if you can avail yourself of them. Almost everybody out here knows of the United States Reclamation Service Minidoka Project. ' This is one of the great irrigation plans of the government, which differs from the State and Private projects in several material points. One of . them is that it takes twice as long and costs three times as much as any other kind of a project. For example the private project of the Kuhn Bros., the Pittsburg millionaires, whose advertisements you 6ee signed by the American Water Works Company, in all the magazines, has been conceived, planned, financed and com pleted, , since the Reclamation Service STARTED on the Minidoka project. In that time Twin Falls has grown to be a city of 6,000 people; starting with sage brush. This, you will say is a dis-advantage. It is. BUT When Ue government has FINISHED with its project it is as much better than the private project as it has taken longer to. complete it. Just this example will serve; THE HEAD GATES OF THE GOVERNMENT LATERALS, CANALS, AND ACEQUIAS ARE OF RE-IN- . FORCED CONCRETE AND cast steel slides; enabling a PERFECT measurement of water. The corporation-owned; or private projects build THEM OF WOOD; compelling a loose and inefficient system om measurement. And while this plan MAY be as well for you as for. the other person; still you KNOW the govern ment has done the thing as well as modern en gineering science permits. And while this may take longer; when it is finished it is DONE FOREVER. This obviaes expensive mainte nance and repairs. - Here at Burley, of course, we are all "cus sing" the government because we have been compelled to see Twin Falls pass us, when we STARTED THIS IRRIGATION GAME, but now the Government is almost through. There are only two more pumps to put in end OUR PROJECT v IS COMPLETE; FINISHED, and our crops are in; water is ALREADY running in the canals and we have Twin Falls' system "fixed for fair." It has taken longer, but we KNOW we have got the best The State of Idaho and Cassia county have been "cute" enough to hold out 13,000 acres of state land, which is under this project and around, over through which the Reclamation Service has been obliged to construct canals, laterals and acequias. Sometime next month the State of Idaho will offer this land for sale at public auction and the men of the "inside" r have not been saying a great deal about it. The sale will be advertised, of course, but very few people believe ANYTHING they see in a news paper; much less the advertisements. However, the advcrUsemeata, this time, will tell tha truth. The land la ABSOLUTELY THE RICHEST IN SOUTH IDAHO. Further than that the Oregon Short Line Is con- -structlns Its Ratt River extension right throug Burley; the Bhopa and the division point have been located here; and an electrla line la being promoted to connect thla town and Allon, an historic old place . lecated on the Old Oregon Trail about twenty-five mllra from here, tho county aeat. Therefore, this land, In time, will be the moat valuable In Southern Idaho. A PRIVATE OWNER WOULD HOLD ON TO IT; the State ia going to SELL it. And at auction. Aa County Commissioner, I have cruised all over the land and I KNOW where the best land is. When this auction comes off I 'will be there looking for a bargain for MYSELF and I already own 120 acres on this project. And, AS PER MY PROMISE OF LAST SUMMER, I can look for a bargain for yon. At former auctions the land has sold at prlcea rang ing from $23 to 172.60 per acre. The last figure was no cause the land was only a mile and a half from town and a couple of bankers got to backing each other. I think the land at the coming auction will sell at a maximum average of $36. You see the sale Is VERY close at hand and the officials have, done NOTHING yet to get a crowd here. At that figure, therefore, 80 acres would cost ;$2,800. The water Is supplied by the government, but the price of the water right has not yet been fixed nor announced by the government. As an engineer I would say that the maximum figure would be $40 per acre; or $3,200 for the 80 acres, a maximum price of $6,000' for 80 acres of land with a water right all ready to clear and set the trees In. The water right is perpetual and tha gov ernment delivers It to the orchard FREE OF COST. This land Is sold ON CREDIT. It la disposed of at auction, the highest bidder getting the particular piece offered. The method of payment is: (let's take the maxi mum average.) One-fifth In cash on the day of and at the time of sale; plus the Interest at 6 per cent on the deferred payments from the day of eale to the end of the year. Therefore, the first payment on SO acres of this land at the next auction (and we are working on the presumption that we pay the maximum average) will be. one-fifth of $2,800, or $560, plua the Interest at 6 per cent on $2,240 for 7 months, or approximately $80. That aum added to $560 will make the first ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL' SUM $640. In addition to this there Is a charge of 50 cents per acre for Engineer's fees, and this MUST BE PAID before the day of the sale. The purpose of this, ostensibly Is for the verification of "corners," but well; you have to pay it. Its consolation Is that It assures you of an ABSOLUTELY PERFECT piece of ground. Some people refuse to pay it; some people get "etung." I paid It I'm glad I did. So your first aum of , money ia $680, one more little "graft" and you are through with the land. Your have to pay about $4 or $5 filing fees. So we have arrived AT THE TOTAL FIRST , ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL SUM AS ,$685, figuring our selves as BUYING THE VERY BEST LAND ON THE PROJECT AT THE MAXIMUM AVERAGE OF PRICE. You still owe $2,240 principal on the land and thla la payable In 16 annual payments; giving you SIXTEEN YEARS in which to pay for the land at the rate of $140 each year, plua the Interest at 6 per cent on the deferred payments. Thus; January 1, 1911,, you will pay $140 of the principal and $126 of the interest, or $266 In all. On January 1, 1912 you will pay another $140 ofv the principal and $117.60 of the Interest, or $257.60 In all. On January 1. 1913 you will pay another $140 of the principal and $108.20 of the interest, or $849.20 in all. January 1, 1914; $140 principal and ,$100.80 of interest, or $240.80 in all. January 1. 1915; $140 principal and $92.40 interest, or $232.40. January 1,1916; $140 of the principal; $84 Interest, or a total of $224 In all. By this time you can SELL the land at $150 per acre or $12,000 total; a profit of $9,200. However, you must take $710 interest from thla $9,200, which makes your total net pro fit $8,490. Out of your $12000 you coutd pay the balance of the purchase price, stop the interest and WALK OUT OF IDAHO, if you want to, WITH EIGHT THOUSAND, FOUR HUNDRED AND NINETY DOLLARS OF GOOD GOLD COIN that you haven't had to work for. But, if you want to hold the land; put It into orchard, cultivate it and develop It; you can figure that for each dollar you spend on It Is worth two dollars more; If not three or four; development is really what pays tho best. In that case the land would EASILY sell for $250 to $300 per acre, increasing your profits by $8,000 to $12,000 more; or a net profit of $24,000 in all; uesa what you have spent on It. I know it sounds like a fairy tale, but IT HAS BEEN DONE ON THE TWIN FALLS TRACT, not onco "but a score of times to my personal knowledge. Men who came to Twin Falls without a dollar In tholr aocη men with far less Intelligence than a barter, have. done It and today own their own automobiles. Peraps you can handle an etghty acre orchard or an eighty acre "farm unit." In that caso get some friend to go in with you and halve it. If you cannot do that; get some friend to go In with you and quarter it. Take three of your friends and In that case you you would each need $75.50. I may state that I have an order from an other friend of mine who will buy 40 acre and if you have a friend who will put In with you, so that eaob ot you could have the other 20 acres each of the eighty acre unit. It would cost each of you $172.50. It you want to do this you can send $172.50 to the Burley State Bank. here and Instruct S. Grover Rich, cashier, to rise my vouchers and I will buy the land for you; pay for it; de posit the papers in the bank; look after the tiling and "clear it up" in ship-shape manner free ot charge; In memory of the moon-lit night on the deck of the steamer that took' ua to the glaciers. So far as the water is concerned you needn't bother about it. It will not be appraised until next year; you then have a year's grace in which o make the first pay ment; it is paid for in 10 annual payments without Inter est. The application for the water MUST be made, but it isn't necessary to do It, and you can just aa well let it wait until next aprlng. The land la valueless without the water, but you need not have it thia year; thus yon have a year longer in which to pay for It. Rember that the payments decrease each year; that you only have $5 per week to pay the first year; after you ave made our first payments. If you and three friends . take an eighty then YOUR payment amounts to about W 1-3 0 per week. If you and one friend go in with the client I already have and who is paying all my fees, then you will have but $1.30 each to pajr per week. And re member that even this aum ia decreasing every year. Also remember that you and your friends may PAY UP THE WHOLE SUM AT ANY TIME AND THUS 8TOP ALL ot the interest. I am not much of a real estate man but thrs much you ought to know; that the project is only 31 hours from Omaha, the gateway to the west and the market for much of our products; but forty five hours from Chicago; and a much leffa Item from the markets of the Pacific Coast, thus giving this land an additional marketable value be cause of the nearness of markets. And remember that this is probably the last best op portunity, of this kind that the west will afford. , The Kuhns have the Oakley Project and the Raft River project, but, if you wish, you can exercise your rights to each of these projects so long aa you remain unmarried. The taking of land on thla project under the atate land sale, doea net affect that right. If you get married In the meanwhile, however, you will lost your Carey Act right; and this is true whether you have land under the State Auction or not. . Also ycrur taking of land under any one Carey Act pro;oct d?ea not affect your right under any other pro ject, utittl you have taken a total of 160 acres; then your right there la exhausted. You wlU have left a homestead right and and a Desert Act right, left So that it is pos sible, so long as you remain unmarried, you can buy un der the auction two units of 80 acres each; a homestead of 160, and a desert right of 20 acres minus what you have taken under the homestead law. Leaving out all the technicalities of the Land Laws; take my ad viae and IF YOU CAN POSSIBLY GET $685 together I would most earnestly advise you to get in on this Auction Land now. If you cannot do that take eome friend in ith you and raise $345 each, FOR THI3 CITY IS SURE of doing what I have told you it will do. Please give my regards to your brother, and say that I advised you to do this. Tell him that he, too, can tnake a "bunch of money" this way if he is "live wire enough to get in the game." Yours Truly, F. E. GRISWOLD. P. S. Should you desire to take up with this plan you will need to give me a power of attorney to act for you. But there Is time for me to send you the blank form and have you return it if you act at once. Send a post card RIGHT NOW; TODAY, and I will get the best piece ot land for you. This is the last of those great opportun ities that have made the Western Million" aires. You want money; you need it, don't you. Send me A POSTAL CARD TODAY. F. E.
