The crop outlook for this season is ex-
cellent. This is true of both dry and ir-
rigated farms. Each year sees an increase
in the acreage of dry land crops. Some
of the dry farms viii produce as high
as forty bushels to the acre. There is
but little of this land remaining to De
taken Up. There seems to be an increase
in the summer rainfall here, so that the
term arid" as applied to the upper
Snake river valley. is becoming a mis-
homer. There will be even a greater ton
mage of beets this year than last Some
farmers are making 4 business of rails
ing beets and raise only sufficient hay
and grain for their stock.
Interest has been revived in the Te-
ton Basin railroad. There is no question
about it being a paying proposition from
the start and il would pay private par

and sixty miles from the Teton Basin
mines. One vein is several miles long.
If any capitalist wants a good invest
ment, the proposed Teton Basin railroad
would be a paying one. Fremont county
alone has now over 5000 people and the
basin population is growing rapidly.
