Wood River times. [volume] (Hailey, Idaho) 1882-1915, 1883-10-20

In on ground that was never plowed,
and this year turned off three tons of
hay to the acre. | now have speci-
mems in my Office four feet high. |
have also some samples of wheat in
my Office four feet high and very large
well filled heads, that was sown on
fresh broke land on the 18th dav of
May, and | feel confident it will Weld
thirty bushels to the acre. Turnips
that weigh fifteen pounds each are
common. Carrots, beets, onions and
potatoes are large and yield album
dainty, but as yet are only raised in
small patches. Prices are very high
because there are thousands of con-
snmers and only few producers.
| am sure this is the finest wheat, bar
ley and grass country | ever saw.
never have seen such fat cattle and
sheep in my life and room for mil
lious of head to Craze. AS to the
amount of agricultural lands that are
valuable will say that there are
thousands Of acres. During the month
of August there were sixteen thous-
and acres entered at this office, and
only dotted the plats here and there
slightly. There are millions of fine
lands but it is divided by ranges of
mountains and no large bodies Law
together. Plenty Of timbcrand water
everywhere. This good place for
the homeless who want lands if they
have pluck enough to help open up "a
new country; if not, my advice is to re-
main 'with their wives people,"
But there are thousands of acres of
better lands than the average of La
bette county that is here subject to
prc-emption and homestead. Now |
don't want any man to come here by
reason OF anything | have said, for he
might not see it as ! do. But if he
has the nerve and does come he will
be able to get good land at small
price. Capt. uamnar and Guy have
made some fine locations. G.. =.
Peters has also located some fine lands,
Wesley Myers, Charles Sprague and
l.. Spurgeon all from Labette county,
have each located 500 acres of land
that in three years from to- day will be
worth ten dollars per acre. If any of
my readers should decide to come
here they had better come early in the
spring, say about April.

Hitting Hill.

The Hill investigation at Washington
has at last reached active operations
and from the warmth with which the
case opens it is likely to prove an ex-
tremely hot season to the head of the
government architects office. The
testimony already in, proves that the
defendant is either knave or a fool
with either horn equally damaging to
his reputation as an official, and honor
as a gentleman. The opening round
was narrowed down, ON the demand
of counsel for the defense for specific
charges, TO the instance of the Phila-
delphia building where stones were
contracted for in such manner as to
make their cost to the government from
two to three hundred per cent more
than it should have been. From this
opening it is quite possible that the
public may discover before the trial
is over, how it is that all build
ings erected by the government
cost from fifty to two hundred per cent
more than similar structures erected by
private enterprise.

Wanted Lettuce Instead Of Poetry,

A young man in Washington, who
writes exquisite verses but is almost
starving for lack of remunerative en-
ployment, and who for a long time has
been trying to get place in a govern
ment bureau, the other day got friend
to write to ''Gail Hamilton invoking
her supposed influence in his behalf.
Some of the young mans verses were
inclosed in the letter, as a sample of his
literary ability. Miss Dodge, 6lisclaim-
ing the possession of any s.influenee,
replied in serio-comic vein, in part as
follows: Il have ordered two depart
ments to send me first-class office in
fifteen minutes. II both come | shall
be embarrassed If your young gentle
man could only take care of horse and
garden as well as he writes verses,
could employ him for myself for the
summer, and pay him better than poe
try, alasi But no! shall have to eat
hard corn and wilted lettuce all summer
for want of q gardener. while your young
man will have nothing to eat for want
of work y
