CEMENT FACTORY
SEEMS ASSURED
Mill Tests of Material Give
Gratifying Results.
Brick Plant Will Be Operated in Css-
nection- Engineer to Select Site
Expected to Arrive Within
Next Few DAYS.

A large cement factory, employing q
large force of men, seems assured for
the near future The men who own
the deposits of cement clay say one will
be built. The men who brought the
matter to the attention of capitalists
and the capitalists also say one will be
built The arrival of an engineer to
locate the factory is expected within
week, and it will not be long until COM
plete detailes may be announced.
The clay has been given mill test
and is demonstrated to be of a superior
quality. better quality, in fact, than
is used in any western cement works.
But it is not alone good for cement
Ii will make excellent uling, fire and
pressed brick. A brick plant will be
installed in addition TO The cement
works, and tiling factory is pos
sibility.
The clay deposit was discovered last
spring, and filed on about the first of
July by z. T. and Thomas Hargrsves,
F. H. E. Doris and Sam Baugh.
Samples were sent to various places to
be tested for cement, tile and brick
making qualities, and every test has
been more than satisfactory. Having
determined that the material was all
right. the next thing was to interest
capital. Henry S. Woodland and w.
A Hyde undertook to do this and have
succeeded so well that they make the
positive statement that factory will
be located here, and an engineer to de
eide its exact location will arrive within
a few days.
The demand for cement taxes the ca
pacity of all the factories. There is. q
market for millions of dollars worth of
it in Idaho alone. and its use is increas-
ing all the time. Thing is shipped
through here from Deepwater. Mo-,
and fire and pressed brick are always in
demand.
E. 7. HargraveS informs the Press
that the capitalists are Salt Lake ren
and that they are possible more en-
thusiastic than the local people who are
interested in the venture

PROFITS FROM IDAHO ORCHARDS
Net Profits Of From $500 to 81 900
pes Acre Realized.

The following article tells of actual
returns from orchards less than 100
miles below American Falls. Last week
the Press told of AN orchard up the val
ley fifty miles which is returning 81 900
per acre. Conditions in neither place
are more favorable than here.
Joe Wheeler has an orchard of four
acres near Shoshone from which he will
harvest 1000 boxes this year. This
means marketable apples. aside from
those used at home.
Mat MeFall is harvesting his apples
on his ranch five miles west of Sho-
shone this week. Mr. McFall has 25
acres in orchard. and will ship eight or
ten earlosds of fruit besides what he
reserves for his own use. which is no
small amount as he keeps the tables of
his hotel in shoshone well supplied with
fruit the year around. MIR. MeFall has
apples tina, will run 1000 boxes TO the
aere. He will get at least 81 box,
and probably more.
l. r. Perrine is now gathering his APP
plies and shipping TO Chicago. He has
26 men busy picking and packing, and
he loads car every other day with
fruit tina, brings the top price in Chics-
go. Tie gets s: box for firsts. and So
box Tor seconds. delivered in Chicago
The freigh, runs about IS cents per box.

will net him an average of S. per box
in Chicago. There are hundreds of
trees In his orchard that will yield %
boxes per tree this year. and from one
tree the men have gathered 20 boxes.
A large portion Of his orchard will sy-
crage 1000 boxes per acre.
At So per box MIR. Wheeler will get
$1,000 from a little four-acre orchard
planted just for home use. Mr.. McFall.
frunl bis q acres. sili cell probably
s2n. 600 worth Of apples and still have
enough TO supply one Of the largest ho-
tells in the state with fruit for the COM
ing year. Mr.. pcrrino gets a still high
eF price for his fruit. His land welding
1000 boxes per acre will bring him an
income Of 5000 per acre. which is 10
per cent on ss0.co0 for the land.
There Is not an acre Of land in Lin
coin county that can be put under wat
er but that will be worth from $1,000 an
acre up to fabulous prices within ten
years from the time {, Is put into apple
trees.
Only last week gentleman from the
Yakima county in Washington. who has
made fortune in raising apples in that
famous section. purchased a ie0-acre
tract overlooking the Snake river near
Miner for the purpose of planting an
orchard next spring He says he will
skin Mr.. Pcrrine on apples as soon
AS his orchard gets to bearing. The en-
tire Minidoka tract. on both sides of
the river. is just as well adapted to APP
{, pies as are the lands in the west end of
the county. In fact. the sandy lands
along both sides of the river in the Mini
doka tract are unexeelled any place on
earth for apples. according to all au-
thority and experience.
|. b. Pcrrine has Royal Anne cher
ry orchard in which single trees have
paid Sa7 year. Right here in Sho-
shone the c. X. Wheeler orchard will
this year produce 20 to 25 tons of
prunes, and il is small orchard, too. -
