KEYSTONE: A great movement is
simultaneously being made all over
the Territory for the development of
Idaho's agricultural resources. This
year witnesses the construction of
numerous large irrigating bitches and
canals, each of which is calculated to
'cover" and thus open to settlement
thousands of acres of the richest kind
of agricultural lands lying in the Boise,
Snake River and Indian Creek Val
leys. The greatest, perhaps, of these
enterprises is the one taken from the
Boise River above the Capital City
and extending over the Boise and
Indian Creek Valleys. The canal
will be almost a river in itself and
sufficient to irrigate many thousands
of still unsettled acres. Three miles
above the town of Eagle Rock anoth-
err large ditch enterprise is commenc-
ed and water will be conducted thence
over a vast area of the Snake River
Valley and will render available to
cultivation a great many sections
Here are homes for thousands. Cald-
we'll is also on the list of favored
points for new agricultural advantage
and the immense ditch taken from
the Boise River above that town viii
extend it's fertilizing influence to I
large area Of the Boise and Snak,
Valleys. Alongside the fatterins
mining prospects of the country i
thus sister industry straining ever,
point to achieve her share in the rap
id development of the "Gem of tn
Mountains"

WE have been asked number OF
times BY outside parties = - the ma
ture Of the suit Of Mr.. Luney against
Boise county, given in the proceedings
Of the Board Of County Commission
ers. His bill, disallowed by the Com
missioners. was for board and lod9-
ing Of Andy Mcguire. Mcguire il
the man who was stabbed in the.
neck by K. r. Plowman nearly q
year ago. AT the time Mcguire was
stabbed be was under arrest for -
sault and battery on the person Of 4
citizen Of Sauaw creek, and Of course
he never stood trial. The question
is who should pay this bill, Mcguire
or the county. If he was prisoner,
will the county be compelled to pay
the bill? Mr.. Luneys bill Is $40.
The case will come up before the
coming term Of the District Court.

in all time, such a real estate boom in
any one place, as there is now existing
in this city. The daily growing pros

Fellows of that stamp, we need to-day,
To appease the anger of those who scorn
Our tariff system, our civil service reform;
To keep hot-headed Canada and her diplomats

And run Mexico in when She hicks up riot
To establish and protect our national dignity
BY building and equipping an invncble navy
To defend our cities, our peoples boast.
BY erecting fertilization. along our coast.
