Dreamland contains no more
wonderful pictures than the Blue
Lakes fruit farm of |. B. Perrine
ON the Snake river right here in
Lincoln county.
1t is indeed the personihcation
of dream. Only a dreamer, q
seer, could have ever foreseen the
rock studded, barren valley thickly
set with the greatest fruit trees in
the whole world, on a fruit farm
from which grew almost the whole
inspiration for reclaiming arid Ida
no But it is today all a golden
reality-alnfost like the telephone,
the electric light, and radium.
The Blue l. kes farm is % the
arid land farmer what the bow OF
promise was to Noah, adrift on the
ark after the deluge-a promise of
the Creator himself that the sea of
desert shall not prevail. 1t is more
than a promise, it is the object les
son for all who will see. As the
one bright spot on all the Twin
Falls tract, the inspiration for all
the faint hearted thousands who
doubted if such a desert could ever
be reclaimed, it is the greatest
epoch-making place in Idaho.
A few statistics will tell most
interesting story:
There are 10000 fruit trees on
the place.
Single Royal Anne cherry trees
have yielded almost 500 pounds of
iruit in a year, worth on the farm
10 cents a pound.
One hundred apple trees to the I
lcre, producing an average OF 15l

The town will be given every oppor-
tunity to grow, as the October land
opening is to be held there, and ac-
commodations viii be needed for a
great crowd.
The contract is to be let July 10
for the electric road from Miner as
far as Jerome, and work is to begin
not later than August lst. The
poles are already on the ground for
a power and electric light line from
Shoshone Falls to Jerome.
The whole tract has been mark
ed off with tall corner stakes for
the convenience of land hunters.
1t is an easy matter for even the
inexperienced to locate place.
Wendle, the second town on the
tract, south and a little east OF
Gooding. will probably be opened
in the near future. The electric
line will be carried on through the
tract. 1t will be the greatest coll
Onizer and developer OF any irriga-
ton tract ever opened in the west.

FORT PITT MINE LOOKS GOOD.
Manager Goes In to Start Up the
Gold Mill for the Season.

D. P. Carpenter, manager of the
Fort Pitt Milling and Mining Com
pany property in Stanley Basin,
went in to the property few days
ago with two Pittsburg gentlemen,
to start up the mill. The property
was formerly known as the Valley
Greek mine, but the company was
recently reorganized with a larger
capitalization, to work on a larger
scale. 1t has 20 stamp mill, and
complete cyanide pant for treat
ing the tailings. The ore, which
carries gold up to above 5000 a ton,
is mostly free milling, but there is
still enough value in the taiIings to
pay to cyanide. The company has
$4,000 invested in improvements
on the property, which looks so
good that a fattering offer for a
controlling interest has been turn
ed down. Ben Darrah of Shoshone
is the largest stakeholder.

DIDN'T NEED THE MONEY.
Half a Dollar Was Good as a Bank
Roll to the Hobo.

A hobo called recently about five
o'clock in the evening aad asked
for work at the Journal Office. He
was given a "case" and set to work.
In about fifteen minutes he began
splitting cotton" and wanted a
drink. He was given money for a
drink, but requested to leave his
coat at the Office to insure his re-
turn, as his services were much
needed at that time. He soon re-
turned and worked until supper
time. He was given a good sup
per, which he did and worked un-
til about ten O'Clock. He was then
given an additional fifty cents and
offered a good bed. provided he
would remain over and work the
next day. His hoboship declined
the bed with thanks, stating that
he really did not care for a bed and
he had partner waiting his re-
turn to sage brush camp down
the track ways. AS to working
the next day? Well, he never
worked when he had as much
as fifty cents in his pocket
as four bits would last him a long,
long time. A perfect picture of
contentment.

Unreliable Witness
Much Advertised Fried
man Sensation Punk
Feature of Hay
wood Case.

At Boise, the Haywood trial is
going on steadily, with the defense
presenting its witnesses. There
Will be a large number of these
$50 or more, it is said.
The most important witness of
the week, Morris Friedman. is con-
ceded to be disappointment. He
was a stenographer in the Pinker-
ton employ, and in three years cop
led many documents and reports
alleged to be harmful to the Pink
erton agency and so to the prosecu-
ton. To the surprise and chagrin
of the defense, the state offered no
objection to these letters being Of
fered in evidence They tell of con-
ditions in Colorado, but bear very
little on the case at bar. The de-
Tense had advertised them as hair
raising sensations, apparently ex-
pecting them to be objected to. and
then make capital out of what they
could have told if they had had a
chance. The defense has had 9th
er much better witnesses who were
not advertised as sensational.
Patrick NcHale, Mullan bar
keeper, swore that he gambled in
the saloon with Orchard all the day
the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mill
was blown up, when Orchard claim
ed to have taken part in the de-
struction of the mill. He stuck to
his story, but Borah tangled hiE,
badly when he tried to show that
Orchard fed from the Occur d.
Alenes for fear of being implicated
in the explosion when he could so
easily have proved an alibi II Nc
Hale's story were true.
Malich, ''the boss of Globeville,"
Colorado, told of Orchard offer 10
dynamite boarding house full of
non-union smeltermen, and to blow
up a rival storekeeper. Orchard
bad charged these plots to Malieh.
The witness was intimate with Or
,hard and Steve Adams. Malich
had his hands badly burned by
some acid" which he said was
thrown through the window into
lis room, but which the prosecu-
ion will try to show was ''Petti-
,one dope" or "hell-fire" left at his
place by Orchard and Adams. He
lenied that Pettibone had laughed
It his burned hand, telling him
lie should know enough not to
monkey with my dope"
Joe Mehelich, now of Butte,
miner, denied that he assisted Or
hard or Adams steal powder at
His testimony was of
title value.
Davis, witness for the defense,
Did q damaging tale of meeting
who said be was going to
aldwell to kill Steunenberg. Da-
is said nothing OF the interview
ntil after the murder, and Or
lard's arrest. Nugent, attorney
II the defense, is said to have OPP
osed putting Davis on the stand,
.ying that it was to put moose
.ound the prisoners neeks.
While no definite date can be
t, it is given out as probable that
e lawyers will be ready to make
cir final argument next week.

THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.

A Member May Drink There, but IL
Not Allowed TO Eat.
The British house Of commons has
its own code In regard to the partak-
ing Of liquid and solid refreshments.
A member making long speech may
take drink, and the house is liberal
enough not to care whether the color
of the contents of the glass Is white or
brown or black, whether, In fact, the
glass holds water or whisky or beer.
Mr.. GladstOne's egg hips, which his
wife carefully compounded for him
and he brought to the house in a bot
tie, are classic.
But woe betide the man who scOrns
drink and must have meat. Contempt
rary recollGction only recalls one men,
Der rash enough to disregard this rule
1t was a pumber of years ago, In the
stormy time Of the home rule debates,
that an Irish member, in the small
hours of the morning, produced from
his pocket a paper bag and drew out a
bun, which he proceeded calmly to
eat The house was instantly In an
uproar. There were loud cries of "Or-
derI OrderV' and that bun was never
finished

smoke, the sergeant at arms would

ideal with the crudely real, a mixture
which to rs today has the cunning fas-

sides the natural outcome Of the ex-
peFiences and feelings Of the men who
created It This romantic spirit was
once the common possession of all

At the session Of the City Council
held Tuesday night the Traction Com
pany submitted their proposition for the
extension Of the franchises of the
cxarkana Annex and Jordan Street
Line and of the Parkvicw Line The
proposed extension if granite and equal
lzed with the terms of the franchises of
the Highland Park and West End Lines
would run thirteen years from the year

consideration of this valuable grant. es-
timated at thousands Of dollars. and for
which a liberal amount in money and
other concessions would be obtained
readily III other cities?
Transfers
transfers as compared with the grant of
the extension of the franchises desired
by the Traction Company?
Are the great majority of the people
willing to sacrifice valuable right for
a privilege which the Traction Company
sould have given long since and which
they should yield now?
The Caucasian has made plain the
objections to the grant of the demands
Of the Traction Company to the pro-
posed extension of thirteen years from
the year Io4I, and would invite the
Traction Company or any OF ITS friends
to elucidate intelligenty the benefits the
people will derive from the transfers
as compensation for the extension Of the
franchises desired. which would increase
the Traction Company's valuation at a
million dollars, while the people would
receive a bagatclle-a song
