The Boise citizen. (Boise, Idaho) 1906-1910, 1907-11-08
BOISE, THE BEAUTIFUL.

r. Jockey IN racine MoIltnly''
did you ever see a farmer who
had tried irrigation farming go
back to the old-style haphazard
and uncertain method of depend
ing on the rainfall?" said an Idaho
farmer to me tue other day, and
then he answered his own question
by adding: mo, sir, you never did.
When a man has once had an OPP
portunity of regulating the rain
supply to suit himself he ism t
going to voluntarily throw himself
on the mercy of the elements, and
become the p1aything of chance.
He may get good crop without
irrigation, but with irrigation he
knows he within other words irri
cation is crop insurance. The irri-
cation farmer doesn't worry about
the heat-for the hotter it is the
more his crop will drink-and he
simply turns on the water. Sun
shine, soil and water, these are his
stock in trade. All he does is to
mix them in the right proportion.
Southern Idaho used to be in
the very heart of the Great Amer
lean Desert. =" It's heat and sand
and sagebrush were looked upon
as necessary evils to be endured.
For three score years the prairie
schooner has been Making its slow
and toilsome way across 1daho's

arid lands were considered abso
lutely worthless and non-product-
i've. Idaho stood at the foot of
the class among states, but now
she is fulfilling the old prophecy
that the last shall be first, and is
working toward the head of the
class. Irrigation is Transforming
the desert into a garden. By the
alchemy of water the dust is being
transmitted into gold-dust through
the medium of grass and grain and
stock. The palace cars have been
hurrying the manufacturer and in
weston through Idaho to Oregon
and Washington, but now at last
they have discovered Idaho, and
are beginning to appreciate its
wonderful possibilities, and are in
vesting millions of dollars in Boise
and vicinity.
Take Boise as an example of the
progress and growth which has
taken place in Idaho. In 1900 it
had population of 5000; today
its population is at least 10000.

! LIKE THE REAL THING.
Dodge City Home Talent Gave Good
Show at Opera House Last
Friday Night.


Whether It was caused from the recent
visit OF Mr.. Stringer, the "Poet and
Play Wright" or from some other vio-
lation Of the pure food law, the bacilli
which brings on the stage fever has struck
Dodge City. AS result the people Of
the town were entertained by home
talent produo lon on last Friday night.
The bill was "Under Western Skies
presented by Mr.. Bert Fasig, and his
very creditable support Of home young
people Mr.. Fasig has long harbored an
ambition to become an actor. and his
first appearance proves that he has talent
In that line, The other members Of the
s.ccmpany' were mostly young people OF
the town who undertook their roles for
amusement, and for the other purpose OF
donating part Of the proceeds to The
public library. For nrst appearance
Everyone In The cast did very well indeed
Ind this fact was fully, appreciated by
the large number Of people who witnessed
the play. Mr.. Fasig had some expert
ence heretofore, but this was his first ap-
Jpearance at home. His work was GER
tainly very creditable. Mr. Fasig was
also In the cast and did very good work.
Arthur Watson, as the william Of the play
showed exceptional talent, for the first
appearance. Carl Turner was versatile
and generally at ease, except In short
passage Of love making. Carl got through
this with desperate lunge, like blooded
colt taking Its first high fence. Wayne
Slocum is mighty good quality of the
raw material Only his native modesty
prevented him from mounting the heights
OF histrionic art with the swish and mo-
mentum Of sky rocket. A second ap-
pearance will prove this assertion. Hir

character, and George Anderson was a
close second In "Jimmy, the tough. y
Jack Goodall appeared as study In
black, and was the chief songster of the
evening. Ward Mills was really pre-
sentable stage Chinaman, and Lloyd
Brown made good Irish officer. Ar
thur Paxon took the role Of Sheriff.
~
Mrs. White and Miss Louise Wright took
prominent parts In the cast. Miss Mary
Thomas was pianist during the evening.
The performance drew good house,
which, even at the low price charged
brought in the sum of $l4S. The show
was advertised as a library benefit, and
was so understood by number of those
who were 10 the cast, but no one can be
found since the show was given, who
seems to know what became of the
money.

Merchants Beat the Big Record Of
Last Year on Christmas Trade.


Last Year on Christmas Trade.
Before the beginning of the Christmas
trade most OF the merchants were regret
ting that they had stocked up heavily for
the holidays, but the Christmas buying
was heavy, In spite Of the recent financial
panic. Last year there was a remark
ably big holiday trade In Dodge City, and
the merchants prepared for another this
year. Their sales were larger this year
than last and the "panic" did not seem to
cut any figure. 1t Is probable that II the
furry had not come Just preceding the
time tor Christmas shopping that the
trade would have been still further In adj
vance OF last year, but the merchants
seem to be we'll pleased with 1t az IL IS,
and most of them would have been short
on stock If 1t had gone much heayier.
Those who bought laie and cut down the
Christmas orders missed chance OF sell.
