found that it meant $50 pounds OF
shelled corn.
He could have had a ton for S35,
or three pounds for 25 cents. which
is at the rate of more than $166 a

realized the handsome profit Of his

sale by machinery. and II almost
quadruples its bulk in the popping.
There seems to be a constant de-
mand for popcorn confectionery in its
various FORMS but the harvest of the
popcorn man is from late May to mid
September. when folks who are not
too rich swarm to the popular resorts
with their children.
Popcorn is as much a necessity of
such places as the tobOggan slide.
Every child that goes to such a place
consumes at least one popcorn ball
or stick. and the number of such
visitors all over the United States is

PROGRESS AT TWIN FALLS.
Work OF Reclaimlng the Desert Is Co
ing on Satisfactorily.

A. Mcpherson, agricultural super
intendent for the Twin Falls Land &
Water company, came over from the
new Cassia county town to spend
Sunday in the capital. says the Boise
Statesman. He says the farmers in
the Twin Falls section are taking a
live interest in the question of good
roads and are proceeding along prac-
iical lines.
Mr.. Mcpherson declares they will
have the best roads in the state in a
short time. The work of clearing.
grading and putting in culverts is be-
ing done Systematically and along the
most approved lines. This highway
improvement spirit also pervades the
town of Twin Falls, wheer the princi-
pal streets are sprinkled daily. Those
that the sprinkling carts do not reach
are flooded once a week.
Mr.. Mcpherson reports general in
terest in the farmers meetings, at
which instruction in irrigation and
other subjects is given. These meet
ings are now being held for 10 miles
in all directions from Twin Falls. At
one place a tent was put up to ac-
commodate the crowd.
The farmers are still clearing their
land of sagebrush and putting in
crops They are working diligently
to prove up on their holdings. One
motive, and a very unusual one, that
spurs them to activity, is a desire to
place their land in shape so it may
be taxed, thereby giving the district
funds for organizing public improve
ments.
Within a month, Mr.. Mcpherson
reports, the farmers will be harvest
ing early planted oats and wheat. At
this time there are ripe cherries or
trees planted April Is last and pota-
toes suitable for table use, planted
about the same time are now being
dug. The local market is also sup
piled with homegrown vegetables of
all kinds. These were raised for the
most part without irrigation, having
been planted in time tc get start
from the spring rains. At the present
time water is plentiful and a great
deal is going to waste. At the ex-
perimental farm, says Mr.. Mcpherson,
there is a sign reading, This land was
in sagebrush May 10, 1906" Today
there are 26 crops growing on it.
Corn planted May 22 is now knee
high.
Mr.. Mcpherson says the railroad is
now within 16 miles of Twin Falls,
and trains will be running into the
town inside of three weeks. A mon
ster celebration Is being planned for
July 20 to signalize the advent of the
railroad. On that date the state will
dispose of another tract OF land.

Party OF Union Pacific Officials Now
Examining Prospects.
Judge Kelly. chief counsel of the
Union Pacific system of railroads. who
passed up the branch road last Friday
with a party of four and his private
secretary. says the HALEY Times. on
their way to the Page group of mines
at the head of Payette and over the
divide from Stanley basin, passed
through HALEY last evening in his pri-
vate car on his way east.
Judge Kelly said that the scenery
from HALEY up Wood river to the
head of the Salmon. the Red Fish
lakes, and Stanley basin, is simply in
describable. He has travelled through
Colorado afoot, on horseback, and in
every other way open to globe-trotters,
but he never saw any scenery that
compares with Stanley basin and the
Sawtooth mountains and lakes. Were
tourists to know'of the splendor of the
scene presented there mile after mile
day after day, week after week. they
would come by thousands.
Concerning the silver-lead PROPOSE
tion that he came to visit Judge Kelly
was on-committal.

From all indications, there will be
few people left in Pendleton tomor-
row, and should the Umatlllas decide
to sweep down upon the city tomor-
row after their warlike demonstra-
tions at the reservation, they would
probably find nothing but the boys
band to resist them.
Walla Walla, Portland, Bingham
Springs, Adams, the reservation and
Meacham are offering temptations for
those who wish to leave their homes
tomorrow, and apparently all of the
above named places will secure a
share of the population.
Quite a number have expressed
their determination to spend the day
at Bingham, and a goodly crowd Is
already there having left town Satur-
day and Sunday mornings. Among
this number are Mr.. and Mrs. W. E.

others are expecting to leave for the

far for their holiday, the Indian cere-
monies at the reservation will offer
amusement, and probably of a more
spectacular nature than any of the
other places. Numerous parties are

The next great Indian reservation
to be thrown open to settlement by
whites, and one that is likely to at
tract thousands of homeseekers from
all directions, is the Uintah reserva-
ton in Northeastern Utah. for the
opening of which on September of
this year arrangements have been
made by the federal government
Edward Johnson. for many years

yer & Rio Grande and Rio Grande
Western railways, who has also served
in the capacity of bridge builder on
those roads. and has besides seen a
good deal of the miners and pros
pector's life in Western Colorado and
Utah. is in the city and has something
interesting to say about the great
tract of hitherto almost unknown
country known as the Uintah reserva-
ton which is soon to be the abode of
hundreds of whites, says the Boise
Statesman.
1.-The entire west offers nothing su-
perior in the way of land" says Mr.
Johnson, than the Uintah reserve,
and while It is in what is known as
the arid region, 1t probably has more
water available for irrigation than
almost any other similar tract in the
west The country is covered with a
network OF streams, big and little,
and there is scarcely any considerable
part of the entire reservation that is
not susceptible of irrigation. 1t is
really one of the garden spots of the
west.
But without in any way belittling
the promises of the country in an
agricultural way, it's great resource is
and for a good many years will be
the minerals that are hidden away in
the Wasatch range of mountains that
runs through the reserve. This is one
of the few undeveloped mineral dis
tricts of the country, and from the
statements that have been made by
miners, prospectors and engineers who
have made Investigations in a limited
way, there is no richer mineral ground
in any of the Rocky mountain states
MOfHlOnS OpDOSeu OpeIlIIiS.
Mr.. johnson makes the interesting
statement that but for the action of
the Mormons the past decade the res
ervation would have been thrown
open to settlement years ago. He says
the Mormons of Utah have for a
quarter of a century known of the inn
mense riches that are stored away in
the Wasatch mountains in the reserv-
alton, and realizing this and the agri-
cultural promise of the land of the
many valleys as well, have been fear
full i'm the event that the reservation
should be opened to settlement ii
would be occupied by a powerful con-
tingent of Gentiles, which would be q
troublesome element for the follow
ers of Joseph Smith and a seriously
disturbing factor in their dominion of
the state. Mr.. Johnson says that from
the first time the opening of the res
ervation was suggested. more than
10 years ago. the Mormons have
fought the proposition, and through
the Influence they have been able to
exert have been up to the present able
to defeat ii.
But Mormon influence could not
hold out indefinitely. The govern
ment has finally effected a settlement
with the Indians of the reservation
and the immense stretch of fertile
land and mineralized mountains are
to become the property of whites.
The opening is to take place or
