DISCOVERY AND SETTLEMENT
The early history of Lost River
extends back into the may vistas
when the Lemhis and Bannocks
on their annual trips across the
country, trailed thru Pass Creek
aud Antelope, threaded the beau
tifuI canyon of Pass Creek in the
morning and repeated the story
of Cacaj uwai and Lewis and Clark.
around the camp fires on the site
of the old Latham Ranch in the
evening. Frenchmeh in the en-
pIoy of the Hudson Bay Company,
found place in their legends, and
in 1893, Captain Bonneville passed
thru the valley on his way to the
trading post on Snake River which
came to be known as Fl. Hall.
D.
Stockmen began to appear in the
valley in the ''seventies " and
in the early "eighties" many set
tiers came. From 1884 to 1890,
covered wagons and new houses
dotted the valley, and since that
time, schools, stores and churches,
the railroad, telegraph and teIe-
phone lines have found their way
to put the pioneers in closer
touch with the things of the white
man. The Indians have ceased
to be source of danger, and the
passing of Chief Tindoy last
month, was a source of regret not
only to his own people, but to the
white man as well, for he was a
"Blackhawk' with greater lik-
ing for peace; liking Philip
without the bitterness.
Until the past few years, agri-
was carried on mainly as
an adjunct to stockraising. Hay
was raised to winter the stock on;
some grain was raised to feed
the horses during the hay harvest
and while they were con the road"
hauling merchandise, from the
nearest railroad town, which was
Blackfoot. Potatoes and other
hardy vegetables were raised for
home consumption and to sell at
the mines. Fruit was raised at
irst as an experiment, and then
tor home consumption. With the
advent of the railroad, more farm
ng has been attempted, and the
'aislng of sugar beets has been
:ested and found profitable on
ands that were suitable for the
crop. .,
FARMING IN DAYS GONE BY
A favorite method of farming
n days gone by was to pow and
'aise a crop OF grain, and the next
year to harvest a volunteer"
,rop, putting on no expense but
he cost Of watering and harvest
ng. Any land that was wet enough
o produce wild hay has been fenc-
ID and protected, and whatever
rev was taken off and then the

1t g common complaint among
the early settlers in any new
country that markets are not
stable, and that If more settlers
come in and increase the amount
or produce offered for sale, the de-
preston from the glutted market
will be something ruinous. And
it is also common, if not Il
universal outcome, that the mar
ket increases faster than the sup.
ply, and the real sufferers are
those who fail to produce all they
can, and keep up with the best
known methods of production. A
few years ago the farmers of the
Snake River Valley looked with
uneasiness on the new settlers COM
ing, because Of the fear of o 5er.
production of hay and grain, but
for the past ten years the demand
has increased faster than the sup
ply, and for a long period, the
new settlers themselves have con-
stituted good and ever growing
market for produce. Indeed, some
of the big canal projects have
been seriously retarded by the diff
fculty of getting supplies for con-
struction gangs, and much has
been shipped in from Lost River
Valley for this purpose. One in
dustry develops another, and
Others in turn develops others,
and they make something else
possible, The various needs of
civilization and the natural re-
sources of soil, climate and miner
ais of the Lost River Valley,
should set aside all fear, of over
production, and every citizen
should, if possible, lend encour-
agement to system of conserv-
ing the moisture and ''making
two blades of grass grow where
only one grew before The man
who is deter mined to raise hay,
may be worrying now, for fear
his hay will not always command
a ready market at present plices,
but he may safely expect that
within few years his neignbors,
and perhaps himself, will pillow up
their meadows and quit raising so
much hay. because, even at an
advanced price, hay pays less
profit than other crops that their
attention has been turned to. In
other words, there are other crops
that pay so much better than hay
does or ever did, that they leave
the whole matter behind as thew
would a nj ghtlnare. These who
see possibilities in the beet sugar
industry will appreciate this, and
those who do not, might follow
the example of the man in Oregon
who made quick fortune raising
hops, after making a scant living
for long period on the same
land, raising grain and fruit. He
Did his hop land at a fabulous
price, to some "newcomer,' and
thought he could buy it back for
song after the fellow had learned
something about farming, but the
purchaser simply planted part of

herb, and made so per cent. on
lis investment the first year. The
moral is that you do not need to

MINOR DECLARED GUILTY.
Convicted on Charge of Grand Lar

diet.
Guilty OF grand larceny, as charged
in the information.
That was the verdict of the trial
jury in the criminal court Of record
yesterday in the case of the State OF
Florida VS.. D. a. Minor, charged with
grand larceny and knowingly receiv-
ing stolen goods.
The specific charge in the informa-
ton was the larceny Of silks from the
store of the j. D. Horn Company, on
March II, 1907.
This is the third information on
which D. A. Minor has been convict
ed, and the prosecution followed the
same general lines as that in the 9th
er cases. Howard Jones, who was, it
is alleged, a co-conspirator in the
Wholesale larcenies, and who has
pleaded guilty, was the principal wit
ness for the State.
County Solicitor W. ]. Bryan, who
prosecuted for the State, made out an
exceptionally strong case, and his
plea for conviction was the strong
est and ablest that has marked this
term Of the court, a term memorable
because Of the number Of important
cases disposed OF.
Col. Frank W. Pope, who defend
ed the case, made a strong plea for
an acq,littal, but, as it proved, vain
~.
The jurys was out only about twenty
minutes in reaching the verdict, find
ing Minor guilty as charged. The de-
fendant was then handcuffed and led
back to the county Jail.
This was the third case in which
conviction was secured. In the two
former cases Minor was found guilty
of knowingly receiving stolen goods.
Sentence was not pronounced yes
terday, motion for new trial, as
fled in the two former cases, acting
as an arrest Of judgment.
There are still other cases pending
against Minor, and Bryan Nichols,
who, like Minor, has been twice con-
victed as a. co-defendant in one of
them It is probable, however, that
in view of the convictions already Sc
cured, the prosecution of these re-
naming cases will be dropped, the
State either entering a nolle prosequi
therein, or holding them over the
heads of the defendants. Jackson

CARNIVAL A BIG SUCCESS.

The parade yesterday afternoon
was almost equal to a circus parade,
The procession was about. four blocks
IN length and was an interesting one
throughout. The procession was
headed by a platoon of police, led by
Chief Bradford. All of the carnival
performers, the managers and several
city officials were in the parade, be-
sides hundreds Of cit1zens. There
were many fine teams and handsome
~ pedecked carriages besides a large
number of automobiles.
The wild animals We're all in open
cages and the guyoscutus was allowed
TO go loose, although no one was at
tackled by it.
The parade was, indeed, great
feature and came up to all expecta-
tons.
The Civic League carnival opened
yesterday afternoon Immediately af-
ter the big parade, and until the hour
for closing arrived at II O'Clock, the
grounds We're packed with throngs
of merry-nakers and sight-seers. The
grounds are prettily arranged, and
with the. many lights at night pre-
sented a very attractive appearance
There is plenty doing at the car
val to keep everyone busy from the
tine he or she enters the grounds. A
large number of booths are on the
grounds at which articles of all kinds
may be bought, especially ssque-
dunks., In the way of refreshments,
there is a delightful fsh-stew for the
many lovers CT stew. There is
beautiful ice cream garden where
much pleasure can be had. Sand
wiches Of all kinds may also be OBJ
tanned on the grounds.
The fortune tellers' tent was very
popular place last night and many
rnarvelcas futures were predicted by
the fair gypsy" palnists. The Punch
and Judy show did big business and
was very amusing and instructive. Cd
But the big show was undoubtedly
the grandest feature OF the evening.
This is a kind Of variety" show, for
almost anything can be seen there.
the performances in this show were
very creditable, indeed, and would
put to shame many Of the profession
al carnival shows. The wax works
were very interesting and were a nov

the director Of this performance was
feature Of the show. Following this
came the Ministries, which we're very
1nuch enjoyed. Mr.. Al King made
another great hit with the audience
an his speech on the 4.Fall of the Ro-
man Empire" The next act, the
dancing girls, was exceptionally clev-
er and won loud and long applause.
The "Geisha'' girls closed the per-
formance with a beautiful song and
dance act that was very prettily exc
cuted. No one should miss seeing
this big show from beginning to end,
Tor it is full of features that are new
and bright
The 4spielers" are all lwen up in
