Raleigh Will Gladly Welcome Him.

Early in the fall Mr. w G. Randall,
who is now at Blowing Rock, will open a
studio in Raleigh. He formerly had a
studio here and painted excellent por-
traits that gave him Statewide reputation
Perhaps the best two portraits painted
by him were of the late Bishop Lyman
and Major Charles NJ. Stedman-portraits
that could not be surpassed. Last spring
a portrait by Randall of Uncle Bob
Sloan, father of Greensboro, was pre-
sented to the Public Library, and the
portrait was regarded as perfect like

The government reclamation depart
ment, has during the past twelve
months. Withdrawn from entry no less
than 5000, 900 acres Of arid lands OF
this area il is predicted all but one
tenth viii be returned after investiga-
ton.
At the present moment the federal
government has under consideration
plans for retaining vast tracts con-
tingent upon the viii of the people
The most advanced of these plans con-
templates a canal system in the Boise
and Payette valleys which viii re-
claim an additional 2S5,000 acres of eX-
cellent land in Ada and Canyon coun-
ties at a cost of $3.200.000.
In the Rain Belt.
Prodigious corps Of grain have been
harvested in Idaho. Nez Perez and La
tan counties in the season just closed.
At the state fair. in Boise magnificent
wheat, taken from a field which aver
aged eighty-five bushels to the acre,
was exhibited. This was grown with
out irrigation. The farmers in these
counties were equally successful with
other grains as well as fruits. In
Nez Perez county a system of electric
I tramWays for the transportation of
grain has been found to work admir-
ably. Latah county has been farmed
for years as a grain-growing section
and its 1903 crop eclipsed all records
for both quantity and quality
Idaho fruit growers invaded the Lon
don, England, market for the first time
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1903-12-27

IDAHO has cast a clearer and larger
shadow over the Industrial. COM
mercial. agricultural horticultural
and mineral fields Of the west during
the past twelve months than in any
year Of the states history. The pro-
gress Of the state has been marvellous
in all lines. An explanation of this
wonderful development is not difficult
to find.
No less than 10000 people, including
the members as well as the heads Of
families. have settled upon agricultural
lands within the year. These home
seekers are well distributed over the
various counties, the bulk of them To-
Clating I'm the north and southeast. In
Fremont and Bingham counties the in
dux of farmers has been extraordinary
and land values have increased at a
prodigious rate in those districts. GOOD
farm lands are sanpped up at figures
which would have been considered eX-
brilliant If suggested two years ago.
That these lands are worth the prices
asked for them is evidenced by &c
tual returns in grains, fruits and sugar
beets.
Even fair appearing tracts suscep-
tible of irrigation are eagerly sought.
The increased demand for leases on
unsold state land is marked. The state
realized in rentals during 1903 about
$4,000. an increase Of 81, 900 over the
previous year.
Settlers are penetrating new locali-
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1903-12-27

seems to be mOnOpOlizing mineral
limelight. Strike after strike has been
reported from this district, the assays
running into startling figures. In the
vicinity of the Black Warrior several
claims are being developed with sat
isfactOry results
In the Pine district a number of
valuable properties are in process of
development and some Of them are
already producing. Several promising
claims on Skeleton creek were devel-
oped during the summer.
The making Of more than one good
mine exist at Neal, where large sums
have been expended in development
work, and apparently to good purpose.
The coal discoveries I'm the Teton
basin are considered of great import
ance. Veins of splendid bituminOus
coal have been struck on Horse Shoe
and Pack Saddle creeks. and in Meade
valley a ten-fOOt vein was encount-
cred at a depth of $50 feet while the
prOspectOrs were boring for oil.
During the year 1903 no less than lie
mining companies, with an aggregate
capital stock Of $780, 775,0 900. were in
corporated in Idaho. while nearly as
many more companies, with an equal
amount of capital stock, were incOr-
( porated in other states for the pur-
! pose Of developing mining properties
/ in Idaho. About As per cent Of the
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1903-12-27

capital stock Of these companies has
been subscribed. Eliminating the
wildcat" proposition, it viii readily
be seen that Idaho is certain to wit
ness enormous development in 1904.
Various other Industries.
Official records show that 1S2 indus
trial companies capitalized at $22, 49,
O55, were incorporated in Idaho during
the past year. This number does not
include many of the large irrigation
projects in hand prior to Jan. l, 1903.
Perhaps the most notable Of these
projects is the Idaho Sugar company,
whose factory was recently opened on
Sand creek near Idaho Falls. This
factory is now grinding over 500 tons
! of beets daily, for which the farmers
are paid $3.50 per ton AS the yield
averages from fourteen to twenty tons
per acre the benefit to the farmer is
easily discerned.
Another factory Of equal dimensions
/ is in process Of erection at Sugar City,
near Rexburg, and q company has
/ been incorporated to build a third fac
tory near Caldwell in Canyon county.
With an expenditure of over $1,000, 600
/ for each factory. and a handsome pay
roll attached, the prospects are fiatter-
ing
All things considered. the past year
has been one of unparalleled prosper
/ ity in Idaho and the outlook for the
/ future was never so bright. With in
/ creased railroad facilities assured, the
/ irrigation of vast tracts Of rich agri-
cultural land in the immediate pros
