people, nesting at the foot of
the mountains in the edge of the
valley in southwestern Idaho,
the natural supply point for a
vast grazing country, six mining
districts and the largest tract Of
irrigable land in Idaho, and the
county seat of Elmore county.
On the main line of the Union.

Surrounded by fruit orchards,
EMPOWERED with trees, with be-
lowered lawns and water in

NEW YORK J0BBING HOUSES
FAR BEHIND IN ORDERS

NEW YORK. April Last week in
iobriug quarters closed rather quietly
owing to the Jewish holidays and the
fact that quite a few buyers left the
market for the purpose Of spending
Easter Sunday at home. The month
of March shows a large increase over
February in the amount OF business put
through. and jobbers state that the d.
mand shows no signs of falling on AT
the present tine. TIE volume of buSt-
ness being put through in 5)bDing quar-
tors is restricted, they state, only By
the inability to supply the goods called
for.
4 very good indication of the short
age OF goods in this market is shown
by dispatches from Baltimore TO the
Cffect that New York houses have been
endeavoring 10 buy goods in that mar
Ket with which 10 MI out orders they
now have on their books. The mills
have been JptaH. Ute. - 20 meet fne
demand coming forward and have their
books damned full Of back orders which
arc iaIung further and further behind
uald as the season progresses.
What Will D. 1ne wneu spring de-
mand across The retail counter starts
up in earnest remains to be seen as
there is now no doubt whatever that re-
tailers have not been able TO secure Suf-
ficient goods with VIII Oh to cover their
requirements. and unless the mills can
do better in the way Of deliveries than
they are doing now the shortage of
goods viii be very keenly felt in this
