Even in Utah, the home OF this
creed, the Mormon church has lost

influence and power OF "the apost-

virtually destroyeu. and soon will

AUCTION or LOTS
Once Sagebrash Piain-Now All is
Bustle and Activity.

ho the later part Of this month
when Uncle Sam will offer for sale
the lots contained in two town
sites situated IN the heart OF the
Minidoka irrigation project,
This project provides for the re-
clamation OF about 10000 acres
lying on both sides OF the Snake
river. Tie land was all public do
main and when the engineers de-
signed the system they did not
neglect the splendid opportunity
for establishing the ideal farming
community. Three townsites were
laid outin the center Of the tract
ON the proposed line OF the Oregon
Short Linerailway; the towns we're
plated with the wide streets boule-
yards, and parks and extensive
tracts for public buildings we're re-
served. Il the agricultural lands
were cut into farms cf 40 and so
acres, 81 that the instant the tract
is brought under cultivation, it will
become one OF the most densely
populated AGRICULTURAL commune
ties in the country. Its prosperity
is assured by the uniailing water
supply which viii be furnished by
the big government canals and
bitches, and this prosperity will be
reflected in tie future success and
substantial growth of the towns
which Uncle Sam proposes to es-
there.
Two years ago the Minidoka
country was uninhabited sagebrush
plain. The railroad was miles
away and it seemed destined fore
ever to serve only as haunt OF the
jack rabbit and the skulking coy
otc. Far below the surface the
Snake river cut its way through a
canyon across the plain, offering no
opportunity for the pioneer with
his simple ditch to lead the water
out upon the thirsty soil. Only
skilled engineers backed by vast
capital could tackle such PROPOSE
ton as this. Many men without
the necessary wherewithal had
ooked at it, but the great cost
had forced them to give it up.
With the passage OF the reclama-
ton act on June II, 1892, one OF
these engineers who had joined the
force rushed . field /
party to this point and in single
eason prepared and presented a
iet Of plans for a comprehensive
ystem OF irrigation. They were

Cutting a Cameo.

It IL said that the stone from which
canoes are cut-onyX and sardomyx-
is so plentiful ON the Uruguay river,
in Brazil, that ships often take it away
as ballast. Nevertheless perfect pieces
Of large size are costly, piece suit
able for large portal costing as much
as $73. This stone is preferred for
canoes because of its hardness and
durability and is suitable for such work
owing to the fact that it comes in lay
ers of contrasting color, as black and
white. black and cream or red and
white. When the cut figure Is sunk in
to the stone instead of being raised the
cutting is called an intaglio. The cost
of these gems is due to the time and
skill required in the work. Formerly
q small gem might occupy an artist for
q year or more, but with modern ap-
pliances the work can be done much
more rapidly. Still the ancient work
bears the palm for artistic excellence.
The cutting is now done by holding
the stone against a revolving drill
whose soft steel face is covered with
diamond dust No steel is hard enough
to cut the stone. The utmost patience
and caution and delicate handling are
required, as the slightest slip may be
fatal to the work.

Of the potatoes Of best quality, how

quality which are equally or more

freer from blight and spray them with
bordeaux mixture He would then be
in a position to offer the very best
potatoes to his customers, who would
soon appreciate those of better quality.
The question Of how. to market pota-
toes depends so much on local condl-
lions that it is not considered desir-
able to go very fully into it here. The
practice of the best growers is to sort
and bag the potatoes just before they
are ready to market them. Good ma

much. a sorter or separator is here
