Bronco glanced quickly over his

caught IN his throat but for only an

him that the lace of her gown brushed
his sleeve. He was shutting ut the

"Howdy, Cherry?'
She did not answer. only continued
to look at the Layout" What a

She turned to him slowly. The inno-

Lots of fruit Left.

II. q. Mcnce, the nurservnan.
in speaking of the fruit situation
TO Capital News man, said that
the frost has not killed as much as
IL IS generally thought that it did.
None of the small fruits are dam
aged to any extent at all. The
peaches, pears and sweet cherries
are probably nearly all killed in this
immediate vicinity, but the hardy
fruit Will make a crop if nothing
further strikes il. The frosts of
this spring are early and have not
done the damage that June frosts do
and he has noticed that when early
frosts hold on well into spring
there IS generally no late June
frost. In 2 years experience here
he has known of but two failures
in fruit.
When the crop is not so heavy
the financial returns are just about
as good. The fruit raisers here have
not organized yet and are not in a
position to take the advantages of
markets as the fruit aisers do in
the Oregon fruit section. There
they sell their products at highest
prices and are able to get freight
rates that are not obtainable here.
Sometime, in the near future,
Mr.. Monce looks to see this one
of the greatest fruit sections in
the entire west because he says
that every condition favors it
Land values are only traction of
what they are sure to be in few
years hence when the fruit indus
try will make this one of the finest
countries in the west.

difficulties The title to the land

pany, and owing to legal technical
ties could neither be scld nor i'm

The purchase of this land by Mr..
Cannon means that it will be up, n

to people who will put it under cul-
tivarion, as il is among the most
desirable realty here. There are
something over 500 acres in the
tract, and most of it lies within a
mile of the city limits.
The development of this land
which has SO long lain idle by rea-
son of legal difficulties is of much
consequence to Mountain Home,
which will ere long be surrounded
by hundreds of small fruit ranches.

To Bore for Artesian Water.

On the farm of E. S. Hildreth
two miles north of town, Workman
and Watkins, the Los Angeles deep
we'll drillers, will soon start the
machinery in an effort to drill to
the artesian basin that is believed to
exist beneath this section. These
gentlemen have an outfit that they
used in California in drilling oil
wells and with it they can bore to
a depth of / 200 feet, although both
are confident that strong flow of
water will be reached before that
depth is attained.
Mr.. Workman states that they
are aw waiting the arrival of 80
horse power Russell compound trac-
ton engine which they will use to
furnish power for time. Later a
stationary engine will be installed
and the Russell engine used on a
sagebrush clearing outfit. In this
work these gentlemen have had
much experience in the desert re-
gions of California and that the
outfit they have used will be sue
cess here they are certain

which have continual flow of
water, which has every indication
OF having risen from a deep source.
rael c Russell, of the u. S. Geo

recommended that these springs be
developed by boring, and local par
ties once attempted to put down a
