Back to town again and across the
bridge we stop for few minutes to
tender our regards and sympathy to
Nerve Gill. For over year this noble
representative of western manhood has
been confined to bed of pain. Still
the indomitable spirit is not conquered
and the mind rises full and clear over
the pain-racked body. We are glad to
say that Mr.. Gill is gradually improving.
The plateau beyond is the next OBJ
jective point. This is beyond question
one of the finest compact bodies of
sage soil in Idaho. Our readers we will
not tire with an account of its possibil-
tiles. Ills an old, old story that will
only be realized when intelligent capt.
tai begins to operate.
We will not attempt, in this brief re-
cital, to mention by name tho many
kind friends we met in and about the
town. We met many old friends and
made several new and we hope to be
lasting acquaintance. Were hospit-
ably entertained at tho home of Hon,
J. M. Martin and to J. V. r. Witt are
under obligations for a return of favors
whenever he gets "lost'' in the streets

Aside from the great numbering en-
enterprise of the Central Lumber Co.,
at Emmett, the people attribute the
era of development that has just now
fairly started in, to the completion to
the bench lands of the Last Chance

and now after an expenditure of ST.
600 and years of battling against adver-
sity which cannot be measured by dol
lars, the promoters are beginning to
realize in the shape of well-watered
/ homes in the midst of fertility un-
surpassed in tho world. From Mr.. H.
H. Fulton, one of the promoters of the
scheme. and who has served in the ca
pacity of secretary of the corporation
for some time and was unanimously re-
elected this year, We learned that the
canal has delivering capacity of 1850
inches of water; that the original num-
| bor of obo rob oldoro of - hoe b>nr =,
creased to 43, and that the actual mar
ket price of shares representing q
inches of water, is $3.50 per share. En-
tire new lines of fences greet the eye in
every direction and the fields that are
seeded for the first time this year are
level and clean showing that the people
are adopts in irrigation.
