Hawley has approved Thursday, October 14. as Idsho day, and assured the management of the hearty sup port of the eexcutlve department of the state In the movement Governor Hawley expects to attend the Land show at that time and plans will be made for a large attendanoe of Idaho boosters. The work will be such as to emphasise all other work done by the states and so get the best of returns from all of our publicity. A good exhibit was made at Omaha in January, but not such as can be made there In October. Prof. James W. Jones put up a display on very short notice and with but little material to work with which was one of the unique features of the show. It was one of Idaho fruit grains and scenery. As the exhibit came In January the only fruit available was apples. This time all of the fin varieties of fruit tor which Idaho la Justly famous, can be shown and a much better exhibit of grains than could be obtained last season is also possible.

Scotch Railroad Will Invade Canadian Wilds Glasgow Syndicate to Penetrate Re gion Rich in Mineral Deposits. SPOKANE, Wash., May 24 -Preliminary survey work will be soon started orl an other ' railroad across the Dominion of Canada with branches to Junction points with reads In the United Statea. according to prlvato advices received In Spokano to day from Glasgow, Scotland. Back of the project Is a Scotch syndicate, which purposes to build a line from Fort Churchill, on Hudson bay, to Port Simp son. B. C, on the Pacific coast, with branches south to Winnipeg, Man., Reglna, Bask., Edmonton and Calgary, Alts., and points In the northern tier of states. One of the advantages In competing for traffic between Asia and European ports is that the main line, approximately 600 miles north, of the International boundary, would be from 1,800 to 1,700 miles shorter than either the Canadian Pacific, the Grand Trunk Pa cific or the prejected Canadian Northern road between the two coasts. The tentative route is through a region believed to be heavily mineralized, Includ ing petroleum, oil and asphalt fields and valuable fur reserves and commercial fish ing grounds. SUCCESS IN ORCHARDING FROM HUMBLE BEGINNING M. C. Martin Finds Fortnne In Ap ples ta White Salmon Country of Washington. , WHITE SALMON. Washington, May 24. M. C. Martin came to White Salmon in September, 1904, bad $510 cash; bought ten acres of heavily timbered land lying one and one-half miles from the town on which he made a down payment of $100; tract cost htm $800; his shack cost him $200; horse and cultivator lib; cleared and grubbed three and one-half acres the first winter; bor rowed $100 from the bank, in the spring, then got occasional small loans from friends, always repaying when due and keeping his credit good. Today this ten-acre orchard home is valued at $17,600; It Is perfectly developed with Us orchard ranging from three to five years old, and strawberry Cultivation be tween orchard rows. This property netted Mr. Martin last year better than $2,000 from his berries and the few bearing trees in the older part of the orchard. Vigorous pruning and thinning. with close attention to minute details, proper cultivation and Intelligent spray ing haa made his property one of the show places of the White Salmon valley, and goes to show what can be done by a per son who had it all to learn and handi capped by not having too much capital. Martin exhibited at the last National Ap ple show In Spokane his Winter Banana apples and received second prise. Not be ing familiar with the commercial require ments, he exhibited too large a size. The Winter Banana Mr. Martin Is pro ducing Is probably the most perfect line of this beautiful variety yet produced; its markings are very pronounced and its shape more elongated than others. SNAKE RIVER COUNTRY GETS PLENTY OF WATER Prospects Promts Record Cre Res- ervolrs Are Piled Fi ers Offer Land. RIGBY, Idaho, May 24.

There has been an ample supply of water to prepare the soil and fill the reservoirs. The town of Rlgby has experienced prosperous growth. A number of fine new blocks of brick and stone are being erected. Owing to the tightness of money, many farmers who have quarter sections are letting loose of part of their farms and good land can be secured for prices rang ing from $46 to $76 per acre, with water rights.

Dean Charles Noble Gregory of the Jaw college of the Vnlveralty of Iowa has been 1 asked to accept a similar position as head ' of the George Washington Law school at I Washington, D. C, and will probably ac 'cept the position, according to a well ea tahllshed rumor, which gained circulation here today. Dean Lorenzen of that scbool has recently resigned his position, as well as has Dan Gregory of Iowa. Further, it was rumored here today that Dean lArm tan would be asked to accept the deajuhip of the Iowa College ef Law BITTER ROOT LEADS IN SCIENCE OF ORCHARDING Methods lieet la Cflsstry, Saya Got. eramrat Officials Attempt at Improvementa Falls, Arthur Huntington of Cedar Rsplds, la., skilled horticulturist, In company with W. T. IeFevre, resident horticulturist of the Bitter Root Vslley Irrigation company, has Just completed an exhaustive and val uable investigation In reference to the pol- lenlzatlon of apple trees in the bitter root -ountry. At the Instance of II. M. Sloan, manager of the company's tracts In the Bitter Root valley, the horticulturists named visited all the leading horticultural experta of the ap ple growing atates of the middle west and east, in an endeavor to learn how far they might depart from the established methods of planting in the Bitter Root valley, and still remain sure of continued good crops. It has been the custom from the begin ning In the Bunnyslde tracts of the Bitter Root valley to plant approximately one fourth Oano apple trees and three-fourths Mcintosh Red. The result has been never- falling crops and perfect apples, uniform In else and color, and without worms. apples which last winter brought as high as $4 per box on the St. Paul market. Inasmuch as the varieties which have been used simply for the purpose of pol lenlsing the Mcintosh Red have been ap ples of lower commercial value. It Was thought that pollenJzatlon might safely be done away with, making the entire, acreage the valuable Mcintosh Red or the perhaps equally valuable Jonathan. The Investi gation, which Included all of the great ap ple growing states of the east, and em braced Interviews with the biggest men In the apple growing profession, resulted in a unanimous finding that the methods practiced by the Bitter Root Valley Irri gation company on their land In extreme southwestern Montana are the most suc cessful that have ever been Inaugurated In apple growing. The horticulturists wound up their In vestigation at Washington, D. C, by In terviewing government officials, and every where were told the method In the Bitter Root valley could not be Improved upon; that either the Gano or the Wagner apple should be used for pollenlzatlon purposes, as haa been the custom there, and will continue to be the custom. The Bitter Root orchardists are elated over the finding, which places them at the top of the ladder in "knowing how" In the orchard business. CHEAP POWER FOR FARMERS Montana Streams Being Harnessed to Fnrnlah Electrical Power Service. HELENA, Mont, May 24. (Special.) Development of natural resources In this territory Includes a number of hydro electric plants to generate 100,000-horse power. This power will be furnished at low rates for farm purposes. The Helena Commercial club is centering Its activities on the "Spokane ranch" property, eight miles east Of the Northern' Pacific rail road. A steam plow, was put to work on this place and more than 1,000 acres of wheat have been planted. The state experimental farm operated by the State Agricultural college Is . located upon this ranch and a twenty-acre apple orchard has recently been set out. The entire property consists of about 14,000 acres, about 6,000 of which will be retained by the company and rapidly developed into a grain and stock feeding ranch, and parts of the acreage will be retailed to parties who will improve their purchase. Several North Dakota parties were recently over the land, one of whom has selected a farm site, and others of the party have promised to return at an early date and purchase adjoining land. The home ranch buildings are 11 lighted by electricity from one of the nearby power dams on the Missouri river. Much of the ranch labor, such as feed grinding, Is done by the use of electrical apparatus. Within twenty-five miles of Helena are dams completed and In the course of con struction, which will generate 100,000-horse power electricity. The company operating these power plants has agreed to make a very low rate on current used for farm purposes. Ths present season so far bids fair to continue to be a most favorable one for moisture. The spring has been cool and great quantities of snow and Ice are still packed In the gulches in the mountains, in suring a quantity of water In the streams for Irrigation during the summer. The annual precipitation at Helena Is fifteen and one-half Inches and the soil on sur rounding benches in ths Prickly Pear valley Is well adapted to dry farm crops. . Settlers ThronsT Hedgesvllle.
