Another Openins on North Side
Twin Falls Tract set for October !.

One hundred and fifty thousand acres
more lands, on the north side Twin
Falls Tract, has been set for the first of
October. The opening will be conduct
ed on the same general plan as that
followed in The opening of the first
10000 which was such great success.
When the first opening occurred there
were sufficient applications to cover
four times as much land as the com
pany was then prepared to put on the
market. Since then there has been a
constant flood of inquiries about the
tract and the next opening, and there
is little doubt that the next opening
will be even more successful than the
nrst. Arrangements are to be made to
run excursions from many points while
the railways will be asked TO make
special rates for the occasion from
widely separated localities. The Short
Line has always taken lively interest
in the success of the enterprise and it
will do everything it can to make q
success of the opening, while the com
pauy will see that people from Illinois
to Puget sound are made acquainted
with the opportunities that will be af-
forded for securing land under espec-
tally favorable conditions which is the
best to be found in the country.
1t has also been determined to let the
contract for construction of all the re-
mainder of the canal system in from
so Co go days. The preliminary work is
being pushed through and the company
will be prepared to let the contract long
before the next opening. Indeed, it ex-
poets to have work in progress on many
portions of the great system when the
throng assemblies to take part i'm the
drawing on October l. The work to be
done is of gigantic proportions, involv-
ing construction of the three seseryoirs
and it is expected that many of the
greatest contracting concerns of the
country will be on hand to bid on the
job.
The new town to be founded at a
point some l6 miles south of Shoshone
has been named jerome.

\ recent report from our Consul
General NJ Marseilles conveys a piece
of news that should be gratifying 10
Congressman Mudd, says the Balti-
more News, as it is the effect that the
French Reggie is going 10 abandon the
system of buying Maryland tobacco
that he has been lighting. At the last
session Mr.. Mudd advocated the pas
sage of a resolution directing the
President To enter into negotiations
with the French Government TO have
it abandon the wicked ways of pur-
chasing Maryland tobacco by contract,
10 which are attributed the low prices
which il is asserted Maryland tobacco
brings in comparison with the pro-
duet OF other States. The resolution
looked 10 retaliatory measures in case
the French Government refused To
abandon the practices eensured by
MIR. Mudd. Well, either because the
French Government has learned that
Mr.. Mudd has camped ON its trai, or
because il is consulting its own con-
yenience, it is stated that it intends
10 make a change of system.
