a bright outlook for plenty of water,
there is no reason why settlers should
not pour in from eastern states and
from less favored localities in Idaho
and the Pacific northwest.
The land Immediately under the
waters of the Bruneau river have been
cultivated for years and no more pro-
ductive soil exists anywhere. Sixty
bushels of wheat, and oats that yield
over 100 bushels to the acre are com
mon crops there. Further to the south
lies vast area, said to have been an
ancient lake bed. It has the same pc
culiar soil of great depth as on the
river, This is the land that is being
rapidly settled up. on account of the
certainty of water that will be supplied
next season by the Bruneau company
from two immense reservoirs that are
now in course of construction. From
the number of people going into that
section it looks as if the land would all
be taken before next spring. Any in
formation desired may be secured from
the comprny at their rooms in the
Soma block in this city.
Four cuttings of alfalfa are made in
one season. On the ST" ranch twelve
tons of hay to the acre is not an ex-
ceptional yield. Vegetables and vines
flourish as nowhere else. Muskmelons
are sweeter aud of better flavor thar
any ever raised at hocky Eord.
Charles Chilus of this city, who is
head of an irrigation project to water

of the week. The plan comprises dan

miles down from the mountains. The
reservoir thus formed will hold $1,000

reservoirs. Many of the finest ranches
in the state are found along the vale,
of Sinker creek, and the land to be re
claimed is said to be fully as good al
that now in cultivation.
Mr.. Childs has completed his survey
and finds his plan entirely feasible.

The Methodist pitcher, J. Symanoski,

of any of the Calvary outfielders.

when there were men on the bags.
Hutchinson had only two good sup

Neither Of these made any misplays.
The whole winning team played ex-
eeedingly good ball. Kerr. Quantelle,
and Burrough were easily the stars
for the winners, and Harding and Price
played the best game for the losers.
Lord and Burrough got a. three-bagger
