j. E. Lane is in the city from
Shoshone looking after matters
connected with the Bruneau irriga-
ton enterprise, says the Boise
Statesman. Thy have laid out a
townsite called Bruneau and it is
business in connection with that
part OF the enterprise that brings
Mr.. Lane here at this time.
The ranch OF D. R. Hyde is the
site Of the proposed town. 1t is
100 acres and they have purchased
some adjoining land to add to it.
The land has all been plated and
laid out. This new town will be
10 miles from the mouth OF the
Breuneau river and six miles from
the landing of the boat that is
being put on the river. The site is
a very fine one, and it is very fav-
orably located for business. The
Dock Valley and Nevada trade
will come to it, and that of the
Bruneau country can be largely
centered there
The company is called the Bru-
neau Townite company. Inter
ested in it are d. B. Hyde, George
NJ. Parsons, E. w. johnson. Judge
Olden, Mr.. Lane and Mr.. Rich
ardson.
The boat that is to be put into
service on the river between Glenn's
Ferry and the landing six miles
from the new town, is now being
completed in Portland.

Colonel Dorsey Makes Thaf State
ment About Idaho's Growth
Great Development In Sight.

d. c., when he reported the bill 70
the admission OF the state, maxim,
report which was published il
full in the New York Tribune ant
widely circulated. This publica
ton attracted a great deal 0
attention throughout the country
because of the showing it made
with respect to the possibilities o
the new state.
The colonel has been in Wash
ington recently and the Post o.
that city has interviewed him or
Idaho. The interview follow:
"You good people of the east dc
not realize how prosperous tho
states west of the Missouri river
are at this time. Nebraska, Kan
sas and the Dakotas have immense
crops of corn, wheat, oats and hay,
for which they are receiving good
prices; indeed, no class Of people
in this country is in better shape
than our farmers. With no mort
cages to worry them, and plenty OF
money, they are on easy street.
"The semi-arid states, since the
passage of the irrigation law, are
developing very fast. Millions Of
eastern capital is going into the
canals and bitches of Colorado,
Wyoming, Utah and Idaho. A
Sharon, Pa, company is now COM
pleting canal 60 feet at the top,
and 19 miles in length, taking the
water from the Snake river at
TWIN Falls, Idaho. This canal,
with its bitches will irrigate 275,-
900 acres OF the finest land in the
west. Towns have been started, and
a branch of the Oregon Short Line
railroad is being built into the
country being opened up. Senator
Dubois and Lafe Pence are both
in irrigation schemes in
Idaho that will water many thou
sand acres.
"No state in the union will rival
Idaho in material development
during the next 10 years. With
OF water, the finest TIM
Der in the west, and boundlcss
resources, Idaho is the
state for ambitious young men to
consider. The mining industry is
yet in its infancy, Notwithstanding
he fact that the placer mines of
IDAHO have in the past yielded
learly four hundred millions OF
,old dollars. The great quartz
-eins which fed those placers in
ges past are now being opened up
n a scientific manner and with
most gratifying results. The old
amps that have been dormant for
ears are being occupied and
-orked and are beginning to again
i've up their riches.
"The Thunder Mountain coun-
" has been literally advertised, =
ut it is not a poor mans country,

e. n. Carroll.

Edward NJ. Carroll, died at 6 O'Clock
p. m. Tuesday evening at his room at
the Monaghan hotel in this city. He
had been i'll for several months, with
Brights diseBse from which he suffered
greatly. A few weeks ago he went to
the celebrated Stafford springs in the
hope of finding relief, but the insidious
disease had already undermined his
constitution, and he fingered and gradu-
ally fell before it's ravages.
Mr.. Carroll was born in Mobile, Ala,
fifty years ago. He was the son of Mr..
and Mrs. ]. o. Carroll, who came to
live in Itawamba county before Lee
was made county. His boyhood days
was spent in part at Verona and part
ly at Shannon. He came to Tupelo
twenty years ago and was for long
time prominently connected with tusi-
ness of the place. He had considerable
means and was a liberal and public
spirited citizen. He built several of the
best business houses OF the city. which
stand to day as monuments OF his
business enterprise and acumen.
Mr.. Carroll was a man OF many good
traits OF character. He was genial and
kind, constant and true in his friend
ships. charitable and liberal 1t was
proverbial of him that he never desert
ed friend nor denied an object OF chari-
ty. He had his faults, as all men have;
but in the spirit ut christian charity
these should be buried in iorgetfulness
while his virtues should be remember
ed. In his last illness he had many
kind friends who ministered to his com
fort by kindly acts and sympathy. He
had every attention from them and
their henrts are saddencd over his death.
Mr.. CAROLS venerable mother and two
brothers survive him. To them the
Journal extends its sincere sympathy
and coincidence. His body waa laid to
rest Wednesday morning at II O'Clock
in the city cemetery. the ceremonies be-
ing conducted by Rev. Charles n. Van
Houten, pastor of the Presbyterian
church, in the presence OF a large con-
course of sorrowing relatives and
friends. Peace to his ashes.

Willie b. Brown.

Was born in Oxford, Miss, July 18th
1887. Died in Tupelo March 18th, 1903.
In the home he was an affectionate
son and Kindhearted brother. In school
he manifested laudable ambition. At
his work he was quick to learn. As
an individual he possessed decided tai
ents capable OF remarkable develop
ment. His manners were pleasant and
agreeable The last days OF his life here
proved that early Christian teaching is
not in vain. The day before his death
he voluntarily, and calmly made clear
profession OF faith in Christ as his per-
sonal Savior, and gave assurances TO
his loved ones that he was saved. The
universal sympathy manifested by the
community, including the tender inter
est shown by the dead, is a more elo-
quent tribute to the deceased than the
writer is able to make.
To the bereaved family we say in the
language OF the prophet. "At evening
time it shall be light"

Horticultural Department.
BY j. S. HOWERTON

Fruits and fruit juice are natur-
es choicest food. AS man be-
comes more aud more enlightened
he grows away from the coarser
things as food. 1t is mistake to
count animal food as finer or
cleaner than vegetable food.
Fruits, nuts and grains were man S
first food. They would make to-
day mans best food. The best
test, in fact the only real test of
good food is the one proposed
by Cutter years ago. "Is it rea-
lized by a normal appetite just
as it comes from the hand of
nature?" Try this on your apple,
your pecan, your Lee county wa
ter melon and your pig. No child,
not evensa negro child ever broke
into a pig pen to eat the pigs raw,
yet CROSSED the fence" to get a
melon, red apple, a luscious peach
or brown nut. 1t is the duty of
the teacher, the pulpit and press
to give us more that is practiced
on the subject of living-more
about living and less about dying,
gentlemen, if you please. If the
press would say as much about
fruits, nuts and grains as diet
as it does about patent medicines
we would soon be educated to
their use.
Nothing pays more in enhanc-
ing the value and improving the
appearance of the home than a
good orchard. If you want to sell
your farm plant a good orchard
on it. 500 invested in trees cared
for should increase the selling
value of your farm $500 in3 years.
The vegetable oils found in nuts,
pecans, peanuts, chestnuts etc. are
far more digestible than th at found
in pigs and calves, and is much
more wholesome. Its nutrltive
value is far greater. We have a
nut growing county. Our poor.
est hills are the home of the chest
nut, our rich bottoms grow the
thin shell pecan to perfection, and
almost any old place will grow
that valuable food plant, the pea
nut. Let us make nuts a large
part Of our diet. 1t will be bad
for the patent medicine man and
not good for the doctor, but they
will be able to live on what they
have already made.

Mrs. Emily Stone.

Mrs. Emily Stone, relict of the late
jas. l.. Stone, Of Union, Lee county,
died at her home, on Sunday, March Sth
inst, after an illness which brought up
on her frail form pain and suffering for
many years. She was inferred in the
Verona cemetery on Monday 9th, inst,
by the side OF her lately deceased hus-
band, the burial service being conducted
by Rev. S. A. Brown, pastor OF the NJ,
E. Church of that village. She was the
daughter Of Mr.. Newton Davis, who
was during his life leading citizen and
member OF the church at Verona, who ia
remembered gratefully by all the old
citizens Of that community, and was
the sister OF Mr.. W. H. Davis, a promin-
ent farmer in the Union vicinity.
Mrs, Stone was borne in Monroe coun-
ty, Miss, on the 18th, Of April. 1S41,
and was reared at Verona. She was a
woman OF noble, christian character
and for fifty years had been member
Of the Methodist church, during every
day OF which she manifested her devo-
ton to its rules and teachings. She
was kind neighbor, and her lie was a
record OF good deeds. She carried sun
shine wherever she went and was be-
loved by all who knew her. She was
the mother OF one child, Mr.. Harris
Stone, a promising and rising citizen Of
Lee county. To him and to her brother
she was devotedly attached and lett to
them rich legacy OF good deeds and
christian example. Her sad death is Ia.
mented BY large circle OF sorrowinp
relatives and friends, who give to her
devoted son and brother the full need
Of earthly sympathy. The Journal, IN
sincerity, tenders its measure and bids
them look above for the solacc that
earth cannot give.

We were greatly panied to hear of
the sudden death of Hon s 2. Allen,

sad event occurred at his home there
last Tuesday night at IL O'Clock. The
sad intelligence of his death was great
shock to the entire community, OF
which Mr. Allen had been for years u
prominent and honored member. The
circumstances of his death were sad in
deed. He had been in his usual health
and on the afternoon of that day had
been on the streets in his usual flow of
spirits. About two o'clock he was
seated in room of the Robertson
Hotel conversing with friends when,
suddenly, he was stricken with an at
tack OF paralysis, from which he died at
III O'Clock p. m. After the first attack
he was conscious for an hour, during
which time he was taken to his home,
where he died.
Mr.. Allen was a member OF the dis
tinguished family of that name, 30 well
known in this region, and wasa brother
OF and next in age, vf our famous citi-
zen Hon. j. NJ. Allen. He possessed
many of the prominent characteristics
of that family and was noted for his
amiable disposition and joyial good
nature. He was n LAWYER of note and
had been for many years local attor-
ney for the Mobile and Ohio railroad.
He was successful business man aud

friend, at all times being kind and obi.
ging and conspicuously charitable for

ago to Miss Pasco, of Bonneville, and
was the father oftwo children, q dnugh-
ter and son who, with his wife, survive
him. Their home but recently 80 bright
