PROSPEROUS MONTPELIER.

Montpelier, Ida, June 2S, 1906.
Montpelier is in the thIoes of a
boom of considerable dimensions in
way of building and other improve
ments. At no time in its existence has
it had greater prosperity than at the
present and indications point to a still
greater and more extensive growth
of the town. Buildings of a substantial
character are going up in every part
of the business portion of the city, and
few would recognize the old town in
the present new one and its ma
terial advancement.
A new water system is now being
linaugurated at a cost of over $4,000,
and with electric light and telephone
service already perfected, the town is
assuming a metropolitan pose that
promises to its people a successful and
advanced future. There are two banks,
five merchandise stores, one general
dry goods store, two drug stores, four
restaurants, one exclusive dry goods
store, two livery establishments, five
saloons, severn large farming imple-
ment concerns, three meat markets,
several barber shops and hotel that
would do credit TO city five or ten
times the size of Montpelier.

Idaho. The hotel is new, clean and
furnished in an elegant way with up

has a cuisine that is unequalled any
where in the most pretentious towns

men have caught on to this fact and
where they place their o. K one may
know that it is above mediocre.
The railroad shops here dispense a
payroll of over $4,000 a month, and
there is probability that this amount
will be increased in the near future.
Altogether Montpelier seems to have
brilliant future and there seems to
be enough support and enterprise
among it's citizens to justify the pre-
diction that it will be the metropolitan
town on the cutoff of the Short Line
of the Bear River valley. II.

At the recent meeting OF the National

port adopted from the committee on

facts of great interest to the farmers
throughout the country and those de-
pendent upon them for their prosperity,
showing the large scope of the work

the enormous actual benefit which its
Investigations have been to all OF our

After discussing the question OF the
Departments methods of gathering
statistical information regarding grow

present methods, including the cutting

will be a probable benefit to the various
sections of the country as Il nucleus
about which to build up a substitution

a request, the committee received a

not hold out the greatest possibility to
the future of America of any branch of
the government. Every now and then
a new plant or new variety is discover
ed and introduced which may revo-

crop production. The macaroni wheat
which the Secretary mentions is fair
example. Extensive trials of this
wheat have been made throughout the
middle belt of the United States, just
west of the producing area for ordinary
wheat, and it is believed that a vast
section of possibly a million square
n les heretofore thought unit for any

this new grain at the rate of from Is
TO 90 bushels per acre. With such a

reached?
Bringing Asia to Our Doors.
For every section .oL the vastly d.
versifed soil and climate of the United
States, says Secretary Wilson, there is
corresponding spot in some portion
of the old world where agriculture has
been successfully prosecuted for cen
turies. What we need is full and COM
plete information regarding the old
world agriculture and the intelligent
application of that knowledge to our
own country.
1t would be possible to extend his
letter almost indefinitely, the Secretary
continues, were we to go into the var
ious agricultural possibilities which are
now being worked up by the Office Of
Seed and Plant Introduction and Dis
tribution. We are now at work upon
the introduction of the japanese mat
ting rush into the United States. There
are imported annually into the United
States something like i've million dol
lars worth of mating. The owners of
a newly invented loom guarantee that
the value of the annual consumption
Of raw material to supply their fac
tories will not be less than $2,000,000.
We are working to establish the cul-
ture of this mating rush in the aban-
doned rice fields of the Carolinas and
the work has already progressed far
enough to justify a reasonable assur-
ance of success. We are also working
to introduce a disease resistant strain
