If this rainy weather continues much |
longer there is great danger Of the grain
crop being materially damaged. The
grain has grown 50 rank that some Of it
is aIreaey beginning to fall and as it
fills out and gets ripper much more will
lodge unless the rains cease and give
the straw chance TO toughen up for
the load it must bear.
stuber Bros. started Wednesday
smorning for Stuart with another large
drove of hogs. They took eigh carloads,
or about 720 head, from this place and
viii pick up enough on the road to
make shipment Of ten carloads, or
nearly 900 bead. This is the largest
shipment of hogs that has gone off the
prairie for some time and while the
price is down to ~ cents at present it
means several thousand dollars scatter
ed among the farmers Of this section.
The successful running Of Wild Goose
rapids by the new steamer Imnaha last
week marks new era for the Snake
river country. The trial trip OF the
boat has demonstrated that the Snake
can be opened for easy navigation and
that country can now be brought in
closer touch with civilization. Hereto
fore all supplies had to be taken in on
pack horses over rough and dangerous
trails but with steamboat making reg
ular trips up the river all this will end
and supplies will be brought in and
produce taken cnt over the boat line.
A year or two more will make that Sec
tion of the Snake river country one of
the most important in Idaho. Much
valuable mining property which has
lain dormant because Of the impossible
ity Of getting machinery on the ground
and the lack OF facilities for removing
the ore will now be opened up and
worked and great results are expected.

preciated.
