other Roads Headed for Idaho.

While speaking of the railroad de-
velopment for eastern Idaho, mention
should be made of the prospects, now
more favorable than ever, of the ex-
tension of the Chicago & Northwest
ern railway, and also the Burlington
system, from western Wyoming into
Idaho and across the state 10 the Pa
cific coast. If the present money
stringency continues to any great
length it will doubtless interfere to
some extent with the financing of
these projects, but aside from this
every indication promises an early ex-
tension of these roads into. Idaho. The
crying need of the country is more

Snake River valley, with its present
development; the, great mineral coun-
try west of here, where the Weimer
copper and other mining properties
have been opened up this year, are
located, only need a railroad to make

also the potatoes, hay, livestock and
other Idaho productions, not emitting
fruit a greater wealth story would be
forthcoming, but these crops are raised
and disposed of in various ways, not
all going to three purchasing compa-
mics, like the sugar beets, hence figures
are not obtainable.
Large Shipments of Freight.
A compilation of the records OF the
Oregon Short Line freight offices in
the various towns in the valley would
give an approximate idea as to the
enormous crops produced in Fremont
and Bingham counties The record Of
the railroad company at R1gby shows
over $50 carloads of farm produce
shipped from this town alone during
September. October and November
When we take into account that there
are g dozen similar shipping points on
this line north of POcatellO, the agSre-
gate amount become enormous This
record would have been surpassed had
not the money crisis that swept over
the nation occurred i'm the beginning
of the farm produce shipping season
Thousands of cars of grain, hay, potd-
toes, stock and other produce still re-
main to be exported, but the farmers
are i'm a financial condition to enable
them to hold their unsold crops for a
higher market Last spring, one week
in May, fifteen cars of wheat We're
sold and shipped from Rigby by about
that many farmers. This proves the
financial standing of Idaho's progress
sive farmers is good.
One noticeable feature of the histo-
ry of this valley is that from its very
earliest settlement there has never
been a crop failure, The nearest 5uch
calamity ever came to overtaking the
farmers in the northern part of IRE
mont county was when the great
hordes of crickets infested the
unsettled and sandy country to the
northwest of st. Anthony during 1906,
but these have practically been ami
hilated and no further fear is held
from that source. The damage done
by these insects was slight. compared
to the whole county. 1t is this feature
of "sureness" and "permanency" that
impresses travellers through this coun-
try when considering its agricultural
possibilities.

Ride to the Gates of the Park.

The railway officials have recognized
the needs lof the Fremont county
branch of its line by taking one of the
passenger trains that formerly ran
from Salt Lake to Butte and now run
it up the branch to Ashton. This has
been made necessary by the increased
traffic on this line. This branch this
year has been completed to the yell
lowstOne park and hereafter tourists
and all others desiring to see that
wonderland can ride in Pullman palace
cars TO the parks gates. This, to-
getheT with the rapid development of
the rich country through which this
line passes, has produced the unpa-
rallaled business it now enjoys.
1t is persistently stated by those
who claim they are in position to know
that it is the Short Lines intention to
build soon from the present terminus
of the park line down the, Madison
river to some point on the main line
near Red Rock, Mont, and then make
the park branch the main line to
Butte. This would doubtless result in
a great saving to the company, be-
cause the best train service could then
accommodate more people, and the
heavy operating expenses over the
hills of the old line would be obViated
The Short Line officials were attract
ed by the great coal deposits In the
mountains east of this valley this sum-
mer and made a thorough investiga-
ton as to their extent and quality,
with the result that they promise to
build a line from either Sugar City OF
Chester into that region, thus bring
ing cheap coal to the homes of the
many thousands of Fremont and Bing-
ham counties, and keeping the large
sums now sent out of the state for
fuel at home TO build w our own en-
terprises. which will add another great
industry to our resources.

Good Progress During the Year.

Ill du lUQuSITldl way the IOWnS dlId
country under consideration have
made much progress during the year.
The Western Mill & Elevator compa-
ny. backed by Denver capital, has
erected large grain elevators at Rigby
and AshtOn-the latter not yet fin
ished. These are the largest in the
state and will do much to encOura &c
the grain growing feature by furnish
ing IL ready market and good prices.
This same concern erected large mill
and elevator last year in ST. Anthony.
and it has elevators at the towns
named, and also at Idaho Falls and
Shelly. The country is so far devei-
Oped as to attract capital from the
outside for investment, thus new en-
terprises are springing up on every
hand
The Idaho Power & Transportation
company has successfully installed its
great electrical plant on the Snake
river at that place. The company has
much more current than 1t needs at
Idaho Falls. and has already secured
franchises at Rigby, Rexburg and ST.
Anthony to furnish those cities with
light and power. and now has the pole
and wire line into Rigby, which place
il will light by Christmas. The Amer
lean Falls Power & Lighting company
also las d great plant at that place,
on the Snake river, and contemplates
building It's Line UP the valley from
Blackfoot, its present northern ter
minus, to compete with the new COM
pany mentioned. 1t is also asserted
on good authority that one or the
| other, or perhaps both. of these COM
panies will build an electrical railway
line from Pocatello to Ashton, dis
lance of nearly 100 miles, and through
the most fertile and thickly settled
part of this great valley, there already
being towns every ten to fifteen miles
the entire distance.

Idaho Products for 1907.


The following statistics will partly
tell what the Upper Snake River val
ley has produced during the year about
TO close:
The sugar beet industry affords the
best chance of illustration, because fig
ures on other crops are hard to obtain.
At the three sugar factories in this
part of the state, located at Black
foot, Idaho Falls and Sugar City, the
following results obtained for the year:
81, 600, 600 pounds of sugar will be pro-
duced 1.-THE factories are not through
grinding yet, AID the result is partially
estimated): 1873. 600 tons of beets We're
delivered at these factories; number of
acres planted to beets in Bingham and
Fremont counties. $4,000 acres; number
of farmers engaged in raising beets.
l .252; number Of employees at the three
factories, e72; capital invested in these
three factories. So, 5000 600; amount paid
the farmers for beets in these two
counties. $3.50, COO; paid factory help
over 5000, 900; the value of the refined
sugar produced is over s2.000.000. The
largest yield is that of Jesse NJ. Ba-
ker of Teton, who had twenty-five
acres of beets that averaged over
twenty tons all the way through,
which brought him $2.2s9-a snug sum
from a small farm.

New Railroad Delayed.

Construction on the Pine Bluff North and South Railroad has been delayed on account of some doubt existing as to the legality of the action of the County Court enjoining the railroad company in constructing a free highway bridge in connection with railroad bridge across the Arkansas river at Pine Bluff. It is said the money has been secured to complete this important enterprise and that active operation has been delayed simply because of the technicality re ferred to. The people behind this pro- position in Pine Bluff, as well as the capitalists in the East, have so much faith in the financial success of the enterprise when completed, that they will not only build the road as prom ised, but will also construct the bridge. It will not, however, be a free bridge. The company will, in the near future, ask the County Court for authority to construct a toll bridge in connection with its railroad bridge.

LEFT IT TO THE OLD HENS.
Amateur Fancer Thought His Re-

An Indiana man tells of the efforts of an author belonging to the Hoosier school of historical novelists to put in his leisure time as a "hen farm err in that state. The literary per sons venture afforded his agricultural neighbors no end of amusement.
 During the first year the amateur farmer discovered that all his little chickens, which werS confined in coops, were languishing at the point of death. The novelist went over his Then literature" to locate the cause of the trouble, but to no avail.
 Finally he called upon an old chap named Rawlins, to whom he put the question::
 What do you suppose is the mat ter with those chickens?"
 Well, I dunno" said Rawlins. What do you feed 'em?"
 Feed them!" exclaimed the novel, ist-farmer. Why, I don't feed them anything!"
 Then, how'd you suppose they was a-goin' to live?'
 T presumed replied the literary person, that the old hens had milk enough for them ow"-Lippincott's Magazine.
