REPORTS OF INDUSTRIAL DEvELoPMEN IN THE
CASCADE MOUNTAIN REGION FROM
CANADA TO MEXICO.


The max crop of Idaho this season
will bring larger returns to the grow
er than they would receive for 1885,
600 bushels OF wheat. The industry
which IL of such recent date as to al
most come under the head of new
business has proved SO successful this
season that in many cases it has paid
the growers a greater net profit than
the cost of the land on which it was
grown. In Nez Perez County over
$4,000 acres OF fax was contracted
for at about 81 per bushel guaranteed,
with the further proviso that the grow
er was to have the additional benefit
of any advance in the Chicago mar
ket. On this basis. some of the early
arrivals were sold as high as $1.53
per bushel, the growers realizing over
S122 per acre for his crop. In addi.
ton to the $4,000 acres contracted for
there was about $4,000 acres produced
by other growers.

Jefferson died bankrupt and his
grave was neglected until 1882, when
Congress made an appropriation for the
erection Of a suitable manument over
his remains. Then the original stone
was taken up and presented to the
University Of Missouri by his executors.

Farms in Arizona.

According to bulletin issued by the
census bureau recently there are $500
farms in Arizona, with total acreage
of 1,935.327 acres, of which 2o4, 521 are
improved, says the Washington Star.
OF these farms 1,769 are owned by In
dams. In 1890 there were only 1O4.-
1913 acres of improved land in the ter
ritory. In 1890 the average size of
farms was 91O acl es. and in 1900 46S
acres. The total value of the farm
land with improvements, implements
and live stock is placed at $29.9O6.S 77.
The Increase in farm wealth for the
decade amounted to 1872 per cent. OF
the total number there are seventy one
farms Of more than 1000 acres and S14
of less than three acres. About half Of
the latter class belong to Indians. OF
the total investment in farms over half.
or $15,45S III. was in live stock. The
number Of cattle Is placed at Coz, 454,
and Of sheep at 66S,45S
The report shows that of the total
area Of the territory little more than
one-third Of l per cent Is improved.
During the last decade 545 miles of
irrigation bitches We're constructed at a
cost Of $l.5OS.4G9. The prediction is
made thai ultimately a much larger
area will be brought under cultivation
by these bitches than now. The prin-
