CHEAP RATES TO WEST
Twenty-Five Dollars to ANY Point in
Idaho from Middle West.

A S25 rate from the great Middle
West to any point in Idaho went into
effect March l on all railroads lead
ing West and will continue until
April 80.
Tickets will be on sale every day,
and there is no doubt thousands of
people in Illinois, Iowa, Missouri,
Kansas, Nebraska and Minnesota
will take advantage of these very
low rates and come West to look
over the country.
Every real estate firm in Emmett
as we'll as the Commercial club should
prepare advertising matter to send
to Eastern people. No section of
the state has more advantages to
brag about than the Payette valley,
and especially this portion of it, and
it will be the fault of the business
men of this town if we reap no bene-
fit from these low rates. All that
is needed is to tell people in the
states effected by these rates of the
and advantages here.

Prisoners Must Work.

The city council last Thursday
night passed an ordinance which
provides that those convicted of a
violation of the laws of the city and
unable to pay their fine must work
it out at S1.50 per day. The ordin-
ance also gives the judge the power
to add the costs to the fine, which
has not been possible under the old
law. w. Cook renewed his
application to have a tract of land
taken out of the city limits. The
city attorneys opinion was that
there was no statute to justify such
Action and the matter was dropped.
THE council decided to print
the ordinances in book form and ap-
pointed committee to have the
work done.

Talk Of Idaho Northern
Building Up the Valley.

With the coming Of spring each
year there are always rumors of the
extension of the Idaho Northern
north from Emmett.
The rumors this year seem to have
more foundation than those of pre-
vlous years, but no yerification can
be secured from the officials Of the
road. Nevertheless, it looks as il
there was something doing" An
Emmett man has been appointed
right-of-way agent and he is busy
negotiating with land owners be-
tween this city and the upper
country for right of way.
Another straw IS the recent for
nation of a tie company, composed
of Nampa and Emmett people, and
the securing of a contract for nearly
a million Of course, these ties may
be intended for another road, but it
is probable they are being cut for
the Eewey road.
The Idaho Northern Company has
had for a number of years blue
prints showing the route from En-
NETT to the lakes, with the grades
and cuts, bridges and culyerts
and all necessary details. These pa.
pers, which have laid in a safe since
Colonel Dewey's death, have been
brought ont and the dust of years
wiped off. 1t is reported that prep
arations are now being made to
begin work on the extension as soon
as the weather will permit.

Paying up on their land is the only
thing that will save lot Of purchas-
ers of state lands from forfeiting
their holdings, according to the
order given out by the state land
board at its meeting Friday. All

within 80 days, are to be considered
<as abandoned, and the state will de-
clare the lands forfeited to the state

High License Bill.

Sam Ballantyne of Canyon county

passed by the legislature. The prin-
cipal provision of the bill is straight

been a graduated license from S100
to $500. The county commissioners
may refuse to grant a license wherev-
er in their Judgment it will not serve

| Emmett might we'll be called ;
second edition of Boise on account
of so many Boise people having re
moved here or having made invest
ments or opened branches of theii
Boise business houses.
This is a new looking town for the
reason that perhaps 80 per cent OF
its buildings have been erected in
the past four years, although the
town itself is one of the older settle
ments of this part of the state. The
substantial character of the build
ings is a most noticeable feature of
the newer portion of the town. Dur
ing the past year it is stated that
the number of buildings in the town,
especially the business buildings,
have been about doubled. If the
values of the buildings is used as a
basis, those built last year will more
than equal the business buildings
at that time in the town.
Among the most prominent new
buildings is the Methodist church,
built of brick. the front of Boise
white brick, and costing $4,000 or
SIS, 900; a $1,000 addition to the
Powell building; similar addition
to the Palace drug store; the Monroe
and the Stewart buildings, two-story
brick structures, each costing about
$4,000; the Blackman building, a two
story brick costing $4,000; the
Hunt building, a two-story brick
supplied with hot water heat and
an Independent water system, cost
ing altogether about 5000 and /
the DeClark building and the Bank
Of Emmett building, each two-story
bricks, and costing about SIS, 900 4
each. These two buildings and the
Hunt building have combined to in
stall hot water heating system and
an independent water system, which
S supplied from a driven well and 1
he water pumped to tanks in the
attic. (
H. A. Blackman has travelled all
,ver the world, starting from En-
nett. He has visited the orient and
European countries and has now re-
urned to Emmett as the ideal place
or a residence. He says that dur
ng the past year there have been
rected in Emmett, aside from the
lew business buildings, some 30 or
0 residences, each costing from $500 i
o $1,000, and that during the coming c
ummer there will be probably twice :
hat number erected. Mr.. Blackman
tates that land values on improved
anches range from $50 to $500 per
ere, and that in town the prices of
esidence lots range from $40 to ,
250, while business lots are selling .

BEST SOIL ON EARTH
So Says Horticultural Expert
of Cornell University.

H. R. Barnes of Trinidad, Colo,
who recently visited DR.. Polly Of this
city and became so enthusiastic over
the Emmett slope land for fruit
growing that he bought 40 acres to
be planted exclusively to a peach
orchard, took home with him a
quantity of the soil from his land.
He sent the dirt to Prof. Bailey Of
Cornell University, who is recogniz-
ed as an expert in horticultural
matters. He says the soil sent him
is especially adapted to the produc-
ton of fruit and especially peaches.
1T is the best soil for peach grow
ing in the United States and is su-
perior to the famed Grand Junction,
Colo, land," says Prof. Bailey.
The complete analysis of the soil
was sent to Mr.. Barnes, and is not
yet available for publication. The
above sweeping statement of Prof.
Bailey was sent to DIR. Polly in a
letter received few days ago, and
coming from such recognized au-
thority corroborates the claim En-
NETT has frequently made that this
section is the best on earth for fruit |
growing.
Emmett peaches won a gold medal |
at the Portland exposition and were
awarded the first prize over compe-
tition from several states at the Ma
tional Irrigation Congress in Boise.
Emmett peaches are destined to be-
come as famous as Hood River
apples, and 1t is not at all unlikely
that Hood River will find this section
a competitor for honors in apples
and strawberries.

There will be no league baseball
Ateam in Emmett this season. This
conclusion was reached Monday
after canvas of the business men

ed outside of gate receipts was esti-
mated at SIPS per month. AS that
sum could not be raised, the manage
ment decided to withdraw.

M VnnetahIe Garden.

Size is. and always must be, de:
sIrable quality In vegetables. but when
it is obtained at the expense Of sue.
culence, flavor and other good points
then striving after 1t becomes dis
tinct loss instead Of gain, remarks
Gardening. One Of the commonest
vegetables Is, Of course, the cabbage,
and II Is the rule in almost every ga:-
den to grow large heads and let them
develop into grent. white, hard mon
strosi,ies as big us a football. What a
difference there Is between the favor
of these and nice little green cabbage
Just beginning to turn yellowish white
at the heart a great many people do
not know because they have never
tried the latter. For storing away In
winter and for turning into all kinds
of prepared cabbage the white hard
heads are all right. but any one who
has garden and knows the tender
green cabbage US 1t should be will not
be likely to let the cabbages all grow
that way.
Beet root, again, Is never so good as
when the roots are about two or three
Inches In diameter, and the large tough
roots obtained by sowing early on
heavily MANFRED soil are fit only for
cattle feeding. A few rows Of beets
sown now will produce excellent roots
either for use in late summer and au-
tumn or for keeping through the win
ter, and these are far better in color
and flavor than large, course roots
Asparagus is often sought for with
thick stems, blanched for nearly their
whole length of foot or so, but where
is the comparison between them and
the nice crisp shoots with green tops
Just bursting? The one is coarse and
InsIpId in flavor, the other delicate and
tender. Besides. the small ones are
easier to grow.
Many other instances could be given.
On the other hand, there are some va
rIeties that may be good and yet
large. We do no( hold brief for
small and badly cultivated produce.
Far from It. There is nothing worse
than vegetables grown slowly on poor
soil, us they are always tough and
crude in favor, nor would we decry
size In most kinds IL quality at the
same time Is kept in mind.
