SOUTHEASTERN IDAHO.
flnIulnnnILuulnnnlnn

The whole Of southeastern Idaho has
witnessed such an era OF prosperity
during the year 1900 that 1t will so
down in history as the best year for
business and investment that It has
ever witnessed In all directions there
has been plenty OF encouragement for
enterprise, and IN no year since the
public lands have been thrown open 20
settlement has there been so many fl
ugs as have been recorded at the local
land Office at Blackfoot. Not only has
the rich Snake River Valley been set
tied upon by hundreds OF families NOV
Ing into our thrifty State but this year
ali the available lands between Soda
Springs and McCammon, embracing
thousands and thousands Of acres OF
fine farming and grazing lands, have
been filed on. This is the result Of the
building OF several large irrigating
canals az Soda Springs and Bancroft,
costing small fortunes In their con-
struction. The major portion OF this
immigration has come from Utah.
There are several causes which have
contributed TO the unusual prosperity
OF southeastern Idaho this year one

giving the farmers a heavy and rich
harvest. Then there has never been
year when cattle have commanded such
high figures as during 1899. In one0
county alone 1000 head OF stock have
been shipped 10 Omaha and Chicago
markets. The sheep industry has been
a very profitable one for hockmasters
and every pound Of wool has sold FOR
not less than Is cents per pound, an n-
crease OF almost 100 per cent. So many
sheep are now being fed IN southeastern
Idaho during the winter seasons that
nay this year has commanded prices
that has been so tempting as 20 leave
the country with but little for market

"a citation Of these facts alone should

existence. As an illustration: The
Liverpool salt had the entire right OF

country with Portland, Tacoma and
Seattle as principal distributing points.

AS to trust organization and advance
OF prices something In that direction
was done In California, but as / have
stated already, nothing was done In
Utah. on the coast a combine was
formed and prices advanced about ten
per cent-but not much more than that.
The fact is that salt producers are
pretty much in the same condition in
California that We are here. The mos,
OF their product Is made In the bay near
San Francisco. And as there is an I'm.
limited ocean shore an unlimited
amount OF salt could be produced by
any one having the facilities. Just as
anyone can make salt In Utah on ac-
count Of there being 80 many opportuni-
ties; and they would do H. too, II any
attempt were made 70 force prices be-
yond a certain point"
Asked as 10 what the yield had been
for the year, Colonel Clayton replied.
That is hard 10 say We have shipped
about 10000 tons, and have about 1907
900 tons on hand. Unless we extend our
field OF sales that win last us three
years. The truth Is we have so much
salt piled up now that we may not
harvest any at all next year"

only one OF the three that was saved.
The fire started about 11;30 o'clock in the cell
