by the arch faker of South Idaho,
but who always had a snap near
in where you were sure to get
water. That taking theory has
long since been exploded and Mr..
Faker must now face the fire. He
must sell the stuff on its merits.
We think the day of the bread
and meat real estate dealer, the man
without an office or sheet of ad-
vertising matter, the butinsky,
the sap sucker is past.
Mountain Home is pulling more
together now than evef before. The
blind have been made to see. The
growth of Mountain Home, the
increase in value OF real estate is
something phenomenal. Only two
years ago land a mile out of tswn
was considered worthless. The
old timer wouldn't have given a
plugged dime for the whole of it,
but at the same time Garrett be-
lieved in it and bought it, paying
all the way from So to $40 per
acre. Today it is selling and is in
demand at from $50 to 500. 1t is
cheap at that price and we make
the prediction that within three
years every acre Of it will be in
demand at from $1o0 to $500
per acre. The price 1t brings will
depend upon the improvements.
The knocker whitfield dry goods
boxes 10 years ago, he is whiting
today. The d---n country is no
good because he has said so. He
is simply a relic. He sees not
neither does he comprehend. 1t
was so in all other arid regions.
Wcnstchee, Wash, was cternally
damned by this same class of
men. People who settled there,
were driven out by these same
tales of woe. 1t was left for jim
Hill to install traction engine and
pump water from the Columbia
river, for a 20 acre experimental
farm. He placed in charge of the
farm young Cornwell University
graduate, a scientific farmers a man
whom the old demagogue pro-
nounced crazy. The young man
kept on, however. He raised
everything that could possibly be
gown in the temperate zone and in
five years two cars were fitted
up with all kinds of fruits, vegc-
tables, grains, grasses and sent
into the middle states. The re-
suit was instantaneous. Thousands S
of people flocked to the arid
regi ions of Washington. What is
the result? The irrigated land
in those regions is worth from
$1,000 TO 5000 per acre. The own
ers are ou; of debt. They have
money in the bank, spend their
winters in California, while their
childen attend the best schools in
the land and Wenatchec produces

John H. Garrett, on behalf of
the Great Western Beet Sugar Co.
and U. M. Dickey of Seattle rep
rcsenting party of wealthy Alas
kans closed what is possibly the
largest cash land deal made in Idaho
this year. The transaction con-
sists of the sale and delivery of two
sections of Mountain Home land
sand the price we understand to be
lomething like $4,000. Mr..
Garrett left Sunday night for Chi
cago to attend the International
stock show before we could get the
exact facts, but 1t is generally un-
derstood the company received $34, =
600 cash, not agents commission.
1t seems that Mcssrs. Garrett,
Yerkes, Browning and others as
sociated with the Beet Sugar Co.,
have struck regular Ell Dorado
in Seattle. This is the third large
land deal colsed with Seattle par
ties lately for Mountain Home
land The three transactions
amounting to over $l25, 900.
This information is undoubtedly
wormwood to a few Mountain
Home people but the information
comes straight and is an absolute
fact. Everyone interested in the
legitimate upbuilding of Mountain
Home will rejoice at this news for
everyone knows that Mr. Garrett
has had the fight of his life this
summer to keep the company afloat.
Nor With anything less that bull
dog determination and the constitu-
tion of an OK could he have en-
dured it.
There are more good people in
Mountain Home than any town OF

S|XT|ETh CONGRESS
CONVENED MONDAY.
Uncle Joe Cannon Elected Speaker of the
Lower House a Third
Time.

washington, Dec. "A brill
liant scene characterized the meet
ing of the Sixtieth congress- TODAY
In the senate and house of repre-
sentatives there were notable
gatherings in the galleries of rep
resentatives of the official society
of the capital. The coming to-
gether for the first time of the men
who have been elected to the senate
and the house about 100 of whom
have not before served in congress.
made the occasion one of particular
interest.
The striking scenes of the day
were in the house of representative
where the formal selection of To-
seph G. Cannon, again to be speak
er OF that body, and the designation
by the Democrats of John Sharp
Williams as their leader, were oc-
casions for ovations for those gentle
men. The vast hall of the house
of representative rang with the
cheers of Republicans and Demo-
Gratis for their leaders, and the
speaker received as warm a re-
ccption from the minority as ne
did from his own party,
The appearance of William j.
Bryan on the floor of the house
also was the occasion for enthus-
iastic cheering by the Democrats.
When the adoption of the rules
for the government of the house
during the .Sixtieth congress came
up the rules of the last congress
were opposed by John Sharp Will
liams, an he was joined in the
opposition by Democrats and by a
single Republican, Mr.. Cooper cs
Wisconsin. The old rules were de-
clared to be too autocratic, plac-
ing too much power in the hands
of the speaker, but after some
what acrimonious discussion the y
were adopted by party vote
Committees were appointed by
both houses to inform the president
that congress had met and was
ready to receive any mes sage he
might wish to communicate

Conditions in the West.
As Observed by the Head Of the America
Telephone Company.

AS VDSeTVeu Dy the deAQ OF the AmeI1CHu
Telephone Company.
President Theodore N. Vail of the
American telephone company returned
from business trip west, says: 1.-THE
present crisis, whether wecall it money
stringency, business depression or an
old-fashioned panic, is teaching the west
a lesson which years OF ,unbroken pros
perity had caused it nearly to forget, and
that is, the essential unity OF the
country. In a very large sense the states
are all members one of another 1t is
impossible for Wall street to be suffering
in throes of financial stringency without
the banks and industries of Missouri,
Kansas and Oklahoma feeling the effect.
The west seems to have forgotten this
fact. 1t has been the fashion there to
decry the gamblers of Wall street and
to speak of the eastern money centers as
if they were isolated communities. The
west is now feeling, and in the coming
months is likely to feel, severe financial
stringency, with all the usual accompani-
ments of a money disturbance.
And yet the underlying conditions of
prosperity in the great productive
stretches of the west are something
stupendous. The western farmer, mer-
chant and banker has been a gambler in
his way, and in the aggregate probably
to greater degree than the money kings
of the east. A series of abundant har-
vests has paid off the debt on the
farmers home, has stuffed the banks
with money, has expanded commerce and
provided household luxuries which
would have been deemed impossible a
few years ago. AS an outgrowth of
this material prosperity there has been
a pressure of western funds towards new
fields of exploitation, and the avenues
to these Elysian fields have been gratuit-
ously pointed out by a perfect army OF
promoters who have been overrunning
the west for years. The mushroom
growth of new gas. electric light, street
railway, interurban and independent
telephone companies has been one of the
phenomena Of prosperity. The pity of
