pass this in production, both as
to quantity and quality. We re-
frain from particularizing. because
we suspect that an actual descrip'
ton of the vegetables raised in this
part of Idaho would only awaken
incredulity. In this connection
we shall take the privilege OF ex'
planning that number Of people
are contemplating settling in this
locality whom we would not deceive
for the whole county and all that
in it is. Therefore, we are careful
to confine ourself to facts ascer-
tanned by our own observation or
obtained from unquestionable au-
thority. Having lived in Idaho for
nearly thirty years, truth compels
us to say that for agricultural pur-
poses, there is no section of the
state that equals this. when all
things are considered. Next to
water and sell comes the question
of climate. We do not propose to
give a weather report-products
are a better criterion. Neither
shall we dilate on the healthful-
ness of this climate. The climate
in any par: Of Idaho is good
enough on that score. A climate
adapted to the successful growth Of
every kind Of cereal and Vegetable
is pretty good climate, but a
climate mild enough to permit of
unlimited fruit culture is better.
No better apples, pears, peaches,
prune and apricots and small ber-
ries are raised anywhere than in
Canyon county. Good fruit crops
here art just as certain as billiards
in Dakota-they come every year.
1t is a natural fruit and nut coun.
TRY. Nothing more can be said.
Ultimately, fruit culture is bound
to become the principal industry,
and no product Of the soil yields
with equal profits. Peop.e who
come here in the next few years
and apply themselves intelligently
to fruit raising are soon going to
become independently rjch.s A few

We shall only add a few general
remarks. The opportunities fol
sheep, cattle and horse raising are
superior nowhere to those of this
section. This has been amply de-
monstrated and requires no en-
dorsepent from ne. The vast ex'
tent of country furnishes all neoes

Of people seriously undertake the
work of development, influences
will become operative that will
compel just and advantageous
settlement Of those things which
at present operate to.the injury OF
the country. With regard to
fraudulent land holdings, the
course is quite clear, but in the adj
justn,ent OF the water question,
some difficulties will necessarily
have to be encountered "nd over
come. The canal companies have
expended considerable sums of
money, and the work they have
accomplished will, ultimately. be of
benefit to the country. Having
dreamed of magnificent profits,
they will naturally be inclined to
oppose any measure which offers
only fair compensation. But, fin
ally, they; will have to submit to
reason, and then all will be we'll.
Now, we have given the exact
status to these conditions which we
Judge to be disadvantageous to the.
incoming settler. There is nothing
smoothed over or concealed and
we shall present the other side
with equal truth and candor, lean
ing only TO greater moderation.
First, it must be understood that
while much of the good land in
the county is appropriated BY
spectators or otherwise, a great
deal Of land is held by individuals
and corporations who are willing
and anxious to dispose Of it at
moderate prices and on easy terms.
There is therefore much in favor Of
settlers Of small means. Second,
but q very small quantity of the
available water has vet been APP
propriated, and where twenty or
fifty families would settle in one
neighborhood, they could take out
independent bitches at no great
cost per individual. Small bitches
could be taken out at first and
afterwards increased as necessity
demanded or means permitted.
We would haye it thoroughly un.
defstood that there are large tracts
0fland now ACCESSIBLE ID irrigation
from adjacent canals which may
b purchased at ! moderate figure,
ranging from So to $50 per acre,
according to location. There are
also immense tracts wholly unoc-
cupied, which may be homestead
ed OF taken under the desert entry
laws. We called attention to the
disadvantages, because we want to
emphasize the worst features, so
that no one may justly say that he
he has been deceived or misled.
We think, now, we may safely turn
attention to the natural advanta ges
Of Canyon county and cordially
invite a candid scrutiny of the
facts.
It is universally conceded shat
irrigation supplies the only safe and
sure method Of soil culture. There
fore, any country possessed Of an
ample quantity Of accessible water
is far superior to a country that de-
ponds on rains for its moisture.
Through Canyon county flows the
Snake, Boise and Payette rivers,
besides many mountain streams.
From each of those great rivers
water is obtainable and from two OF
them canals are already supplied
We need hardly say that sufficient
water flows in those rivers to make

The older states are congested
With population; lands have at

ordinary men, and people are be.
ginning to realize the fact that if
they ever intend to be anything but
hewers of wood and drawers OF
water, even to the one hundredth
generation, they must cast their
eyes toward some new country.
In doing that, and deciding on airy
location, the man Of experience and
intelligence will make q careful
study Of the various advantages
and disadvantages of each locality
which may attract his attention,
before arriving at any determine
ton. To all such we respectfully
present q calm, truthful and con-
sentative view Of Canyon county
in the state Of Idaho. ~
To begin with we will call par
tcular attention to al Of the evils
which beset this section. In our
judgment, there are moro speculat-
ors here than is conducive to the
best interests Of the country. Those
pests have managed to acquire con-
siderable quantities Of the best land
and are holding it until others
make it moro valuable. They are
those that Henry George refers to
in speaking "unearned Increment =
But, We are happy to say that they
are not quite as virulent breed as
Nc. majority Of land spectators
which have infested the west, gener-
ally. There is, indeed, much evi.
dence going TO show that they are
growing weary Of their business and
almost ready to abandonis together
with their holdings for whatever
they can get. Even now land
which was held at $50 per acre
three years ago can be had at $40
per acre. There is another griev-
ence and that is that great deal
Of land, by these same spectators,
has been acquired fraudulently.
But this trouble is easily remedied
All that is needed is a few people
Of backbone who will quietly settle
on some of this unlawfuliy obtained
land, and defy the claimants.
There are excellent opportunities
in that direction and any one TAX
ing advantage of them will re-
cieve the encouragement and sup
port of the best people in the coun-
ty, because honest people have
thoroughly sickensdsof that bust.

There is another thing to, which
Substantial objections may be

which the water is Centralized

THE BOOT ON THE OTHER LEG.
England Herself Does What She Denies
Americas Right To Do.

PARIS, June 29.-Upon the opening to-
day of the session of the Behring Sea
Tribunal of Arbitration, Mr.. Phelps con-
tinued his closing address, devoting him
self to the amplifoation of his argument
regarding the right of nations to protect
all marine animals in which they had
property right. Yesterday he referred to
the protection accord ed by Great Britain
to the coral and pearl oyster industries
located outside of territorial waters.
Today, in further support of his argu-
ment, he instanced the case of Norway,
stating that that country gave protection
to whales within her fiords, which. in
many cases, were wider than six miles.
Russia's protection of the seals of the
Commander Islands was also referred to.
Mr.. Phelps reviewed the seizure by Rus
sia of Canadian and American sealing
vessels in Behring sea, and remarked
that the recent Anglo Russian agreement
in regard to the Russian sealeries was
really concession ON the part of Great
Britain to the firm stand on the question
taken by Russia.

Get the Reward-There Were Twelve
Texans on the Train to Three Robbers
and Everybody Had Gun.
BRECKENRIDGE, Tex, June 29-A
bold attempt at train robbery occurred
near here yesterday afternoon, when the
San Antonio and Arkansas Pass passenger
train, leaving San Antonio at 1.30 D. M,
was held up. The train was in charge
of Conductor Steele of San Antonio.
Mike Tierney was engineer. 1t consisted
OF three day coaches, express car and
combination baggage and mail car. The
train stopped here to take water, and as
it pulled out three men boarded the bag
gage car, but were SO guarded in their
movements that they were not seen by
the train crew.
just as the train entered sharp curve
a few hundred yards from the tank one
of the robbers climbed upon the tender.
and with pistol in each hand ordered
Engineer Tierney and Fireman Martin to
throw up their hands. Tierney obeyed,
but Martin made move as though to
secure pistol The robber emptied a g.
shooter into his body, while keeping
Tierney covered with the other pistol.
Martins body rolled out of the engine
cab upon the track, ,swhere it was run
over by the wheels. The other two rob-
bers, when they saw the dead body fall
out of the cab, jumped from the bag
gage car platform and made for the
brush.
There were 12 passengers on the train
and each was armed with six-shooter,
When they heard the firing they rushed
out upon the platforms and az the two
robbers dived into the brush volley
was fired after them. The robber. Nav,
who killed the fireman, seeing that he
had been deserted, made a last desperate
effort at capturing the train single-hand-
ed. He jumped into the cab
and ordered Engineer Tierney to
run the train across Indian river
bridge. The engineer, instead of comply
ing, put on the air brake, and the train
stopped. The robber grasped the throttle
and threw her wide open, but the train
would not bulge. With parting shot
at the engineer he jumped from the en-
glne and started up the track on hard
run. Conductor Steele climbed into the
engine with six-shooter in his hand.
He cut loose from the train, and started
with Messenger Butler and Engineer
Tierney in pursuit of the fleeing robber,
who would turn and fire at his pursuers
as he ran. Finding that he
could not reach the bridge over
the river where his Winchester and
two pals were awaiting him, the robber
left the track just as the engine was up
on him. Conductor Steele started after
him single-handed, firing as he ran. The
two robbers at the bridge with Winches-
ters opened fire on the conductor and
their volleys were returned by the engi-
neer and messenger. Conductar Steele
overhauled his man in the brush and dis
armed him of two pistols. The robbers
at the bridge disappeared, leaving their
Winchesters behind. May was taken to
Breckenridge for safe keeping.
Conductor Steele will receive $1,000 re-
ward from the State for his capture.

Great Crowds at New London Waiting for

NEW LONDON, June 29.-Not within
eight years has such an immense crowd
filled the streets OF this city on the
night previous to an annual Yale-Har-
ward boat race as tonight. A conference
of Yale and Harvard aquatic officers
took place tonight and the time at which
the raceIwill be held if postponed was
settled upon. The hour in case the con-
ditions are unfavorable at IL was defin-
itely placed at $50 in the evening. In
case of postponement the race will be
rowed up stream contrary to the morn
ing arrangements. Tide and wind will
unquestionably be more advantageous
for record breaking at $50 than at IL a.
m. The chances tonight appear to be a
trif1e in favor of postponement Yale
will have the west or better course.
