her life out in a miserable garnet, rather

which prevails against such legitimate
and necessary calling as housekeeping pre-.

SOME IDAHO FRUIT FARxs.
What May Yet Take Place In this Section.

The following article is taken from
the Arid Region, published in Denver,
and shows to what an extent fruit
raising may become remunerative
when followed in the right manner
The same results can be attained and
excelled in this section if the farmers
and fruit growers make an effort to
extend the market. At present our
fruit growers seem to make no at
tempt to find an outside market, and
much that is not sold in Weiser and
vicinity is left to spoil. The farmers
of this section can as easily ship
fruit to the large markets as can other
place. For this purpose an evapora-
tor is necessity, and with such our
fruit production, especially prunes,
would attain mammoth proportions.
Here is the article mentioned:
"There is a region on Snake river,
of which Wawawai is the center, of
about 1000 acres in extent, where
fruit growing thrives to a remarkable
degree and which is gradually extend
ing along the available lands on that
stream. 3 There apples, peaches, nee
tarines, apricots and cherries prosper
and the business has grown until the
shipments from this comparatively
small area have reached an astonish-
ing figure. The river is a narrow
stream winh rapid and deep cur
rent, often winding through a mere
gorge which at times expands and has
some bars of rich soil along its banks.
These broader portions have been
planted in fruit trees, varying in ex-
tent from five to one hundred acres;
and some of them nearly twenty
years old Nearly all of them are
irrigated by flooding, and no evil re
suits have as yet been manifest from
the alkali in the water. The locality
is peopled by an active, intelligen
class of men who are keenly alive t.
the requirements of the business, ant
their success is indicated by thei
comfortable surroundings. 1t is onl.
during the past three years that the,
have attempted to preserve any sta
tistics of their business, and thes
figures show steady and gratifyin,
increase in their shipments. In 1888
these amounted to rs, 0G0 boxes o
assorted fruit In 1890 the amour
increased to 40, 900 boxes, which in
creased in 1891 to 100, 600 boxes, an
it is believed the figures in 1898 wi
reach 500, 600 boxes. This increas
is due mostly to the increased are
