An All American Hymn.

Now comes another national anthem.
This time it is not wholly new ere
alton. however, but one of the old fav-
orites remodellcd and with few
verses added 50 as to make it more
thoroughly national in tone and not
somewhat sectional. as it is claimed it
used to be. The hymn which we get in
the new version is "AmcIica' and the
verses which have been added make il
all American. while the author explains
that in it's old form the local allusions
were applicable to New England alone.
1t has been stated that these new
verses to our national anthem wcr"

Strangers entering the city quickly
note and remark upon the atmosphere

drunkenness, brawling, 'loafng' and

terlze western cities Of It's size, are
notlceably absent In Rexburg.

of their city. and have boundless faith
In its future greatness. They are all
philosophical and patriotic, and take
an active interest in any enterprise
that IL calculated to conduce to the

GREAT FREMONT COUNTY.
Fremont county, of which Rexburs
is the largest city, lies in the north
eastern corner OF Idaho, with Wyoming
and the Yellowstone park on the east,
and Montana on the north.
The county Is approximately 60 by
100 miles 1t is six times as large as
Rhode Island, three times as large as
Delaware, ono-fourth larger than Con-
necucut, almost as large as New Jer-
sey and twO-thrds as large as Massa-
chusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont or
Maryland. Seven counties as large as
Fremont would coyey the state OF
Ohio and lap over into all the adjoining
states
The county was organized in 1898.
with a population of 1000 and assessed
valuation of 81 100000. At the present
time the population IL more than 10000
and an assessed valuation OF over ST.
100000 at very low valuation.
In point of population, it Is the first
county In the state of Idaho. In wealth,
It ranks second, being surpassed only
bv Ada county, In which Boise, the
state capital Is situated.
In the opportunities presented no
section Of tho entire west can surpass
1t.
Residents of the county have great
pride IN the county's rapid develop.
ment, and the proud position It occu.
pies In the state. 1t Is often referred to
as the banner county OF the state and
in many respects this Is true Yet in
II mt of wealth and development, it Is
only In It's infancy.
About two-thirds OF the area Of the
county is mountainous, much of which
IL heavily timbered. and one~thlrd
available for agricultural purposes.
only small portion Of this vast area
has been reclaimed, yet the irrigatlng
canals In the county. placed end to end,
would more than encrcle the state.
BIG CROP YIELD.
One Fremont county farmer raised
i0i bushels Of wheat from eight acres,
an average OF 1888 bushels per acre, and
the wheat weighed "a pounds per
bushel more than machine measure.
The ground was carefully prepared for
planting, but virgin soil and water at
the right time did the rest. Nothing
seems impossible where soil and water
and sunshine unite their powers ana
work In harmony.
Secondary TO agriculture around
Rexburg comes the stock interests OF
the county, The mountains furnish the
most ideal summer ranges, with album
dance Of water and feed About 10 per
cent OF the assessed valuation of the
county Is represented By the stock In
terests. Cattle, sheep and horses are
prohtably grown, Comparatively few
hogs are raised, scarcely more than
enough to supply the local demand, as
the extensive free range makes other
stock more profitable,

x FIRST CROP YIELD.
/. The first seasons crop yield from
land brought under irrigation from the
.canal was splendid and the work was
further prosecuted the following year.
Only 600 acres were served and planted
ms trial, but land was held at a pre-
1nium after that. Yet 1t was from that
small start that Rexnurg began TO
flourish and each year has added to its
-Ereatness until today she has grown to
proportions which made her. the envy
of every other city IN the snake River
valley. The present population Is
nearing the $500 mark and every city
IN the state is watching Rexburg for
fear that one day II will not alone oe-
cupy Its commanding lead In Fremont
county but possibly may outstrip sew

school system, than which II is recOg-

Here In this garden spot Of the Snake
River valley the great total OF 1000
children and more advanced pupils and
students attend the various schools and
Academy building. No other city Of
similar population I'm the great inter-
mountain country can show a record
along these lines To In any way COM
pare with ReNburg
Perhaps some botter idea can be had
OF the llbcrality OF Rexburg citizens
