The Idaho Central.

This road was incorporated under the
laws of the territory of Wyoming and COM
menced running from Nampa into Boise
city in the month of September, a. D.
1887. The credit of getting it constructed
is due in great measure to James M Stew
art and James A. MCGEE, of Nampa, who
went in company to Boston and sold the
bonds. The rolling stock and rails were
procured from the Oregon Short Line, that
had the material at Pocatello. The first
officers were as follows: Ed. Dickinson.
president; Gardner NJ. Lane, of Boston,
treasurer; j. L. Curtis, general manager;
j. M. Stewart, superintendent. There
have been some changes of officials since
until at the present time Ed Dickinson is
president; Gardner M Lane, treasurer;
J. 7. Mickey, vice-president; j. A MCGEE,
secretary; E. S. Van Kuran, superinten-
dent, and E. NJ. Heigho, cashier and
of the present year this road was consoli-
dated with the Oregon Short Line and
Utah Northern. 1t was projected with a
view of its extension as far south as Snake
river and north of Boise city, at least as
far as the heavily timbered lands, the pro-
ducts of which would afford a considerable
amount of freight. 1t is very probable
that the design of the projectors will be
carried out at not very distant date
The depot of the company has been located
on the south side, on the river bluffs, a
mile from the business part of the city
Measures are now being taken to change
the location so that the cars will run into
the town on the north side of the river,
which will better accommodate all parties
who have business relations with the road

Irrigation.

In 1863 Boise city was dry sage brush
plain. When it was settled it became nee
essary to procure water for domestic uses
and that its naturally fertile soil might be
cultivated. The Walling ditch is taken
from the river about three miles above the
city and irrigates the gardens and orchards
upon the north side of the city as well as
upon the military reservation. The City
and Jacobs bitches irrigate the south side
of the city. These afford sufficient water
to nourish the innumerable shade and fruit
trees and keep the lawns and gardens
fresh and green. AS conse-
quence vegetables are plentiful and
cheap and in the months of MAY
June and July the city is almost a perfect
flower garden as well as grove In the
suburbs, near the depot, runs the Boise
and Nampa canal, upon which at least
fifty thousand has been expended during
the present year in enlargement. 1t is said
that an equal sum will be expended the
oming autumn in its further enlargement.
A large ditch around the city and an &C
cessory to its prosperity is the Settlers
Ditch. 1t is taken out of the Boise river
two miles below town, at the head of Gov
eminent Ireland and is designed to cover a
large amount of arid land.

Huntoon, Charles A. Clark, Joseph Per-
rault, Ed Shainwald, John MLamb, Peter
Ponna, r. T. Johnson, VIM. H. Ridenbaugh
and w. b. Eastman. On the 10th Of the
same month the directors met and elected
James A. Pinney, president; Peter Donna,
vice president; Joseph Perrault, record
ing secretary; Charles A. Clark, CORE
spending secretary and John Huntoon
treasurer. The present board consists of
James A. Pinuey, president; j. w. Brown,

The Water SnnnIY

AT an average depth of twenty-five feet
the best of water may be procured by the
sinking of wells. The Eastman brothers
own the city water works. They supply
the capitol building, public school, court
house and many families. The regular
pressure is twenty-five pounds to the
square inch. Its use is limited to house
hold and bathing purposes as the quantity
is not sufficient at the present time for
more extended application. There is no
doubt, however, but that the capacity
might be greatly increased should it appear
that the demand of the people would justify
the attending expense. Facilities of many
kinds exist for supplying the city with all
the water it may need for the wants of any
Prospective population.

nhn Orchards

The valley in which Boise City is To-
Gated appears peculiarly adapted to the
growing of fruit trees. There are several
orchards abutting against the city limits
and others partially therein. Among these
are those of John Knoll, A. o. Miller,
Thomas Davis, T. Quinn and Mr. Walling.
Mr.. Davis also owns large orchard some
farmers up and down the valley near the
town raise large amounts of fruit. The
value of the crop shipped from this town
during an ordinary year will not fall short
of 100000 This crop consists of apples,
pears, prunes, plums, apricots, nectarines,
peaches and grapes.

Reading Room.

The Woman's Christian Temperance
union established reading room on Main
street, Immediately west of the opera house,
about two years ago. 1t was designed as
place where young men would pass their
leisure hours in reading rather than in
visiting saloons or other places deemed by
the ladies destructive of the morals of
youth. Books, papers and magazines have
been procured, but the efforts of the good
samaritans do not seem to have been prop
erly appreciated, for the attendance is not
so large as could be desired, and we regret
to learn that the nickles that have found
their way into the contribution box are ex-
ceediugly few.
