to show that fruit grown here has
equal merit to that grown any where.
Many of the home grown people here
would not believe that some of the
fruit exhibited was home grown, but
as they know the variety of the grow
er it was beyond dispute.
The exhibit of fruit and vegetables
from Owyhee county representing the
Bruneau, Castle Greek and Oreana dis
tricts We're of exceptional merit and
the fruit was especially noted for its
size and color.
The peaches from the Evans ranch
on Castle Creek was the center of at
TRACTION among peaches grown in Owy-
hee' county, some specimens being is
inches in circumference. The fruit
from Bruneau Valley. especially from
the orchards Of Nessrs. Hewitt, Hyde
and Turner was noted for special
merit in size, color and quality.
The Glenns Ferry apple exhibits was
especially choice in color and size.
The peach display from the noted
Hall fruit farm, now owned by Csrl
Davis was very elaborate and many
expressed themselves as convinced that
they could not be excelled.
The display of fruit from the Bayss
ranch and now on exhibit in the dis
play window Of the Spot grocery is at
tracing much attention and causes
much agitation among spectators who
frequently express themselves to ques-
tion that such choice fruit could be
grown here Mr. Parish, proprietor
of the Spot. is frequently challenged
to put up on bet that the fruit
was not grown in the county. Being
easy money. Mr.. Parish always
doubles the amount and the challenge
drops dormant Such fruit as is ex-
/ hibited in this window fully warrants
that any land that can grow such
choice fruit is worth 81 200 per acre.
Mr.. Howie's orchard of one and
one-fourth acres adjoining town and
containing many varieties, yet pro-
duces $500 worth of fruit annually. If
this orchard was confined to few
commercial varieties which thrive
there and if all the ground was occu-
pied by bearing trees this orchard
proves that the income could easily
reach the / 900 mark But this or
chard has its greatest value in that its
primary object was to prove what has
been outlined above. Mr.. Howie s

FINE FRUIT IN
THIS SECTION
Exhibit at the Elm0re County Fair
Surpassed all Expectation says
j. f. Iiitooy.

The fair should not be looked upon
as a business proposition between ex-
hibitor and the management 1t has
a broader. aspect in that it is an edu-
cational and advertising medium
affecting the good of all
1t is a plan of mutual cooperation
whereby the advantages of industry
and handicraft may be exploited by
both contributor and visitor Not on
ly do we surprise ourselves by what
may be achieved but the visitor is
afforded the opportunity to convince
and satisfy himself as TO the merits of
the products and thus enable him to
conclude what advantages are offered
him here as against other localities.
Every effort to exploit products
means an increased deraand for land
and naturally higher valuations.
The possibilities of crop production
and its value cannot be appreciated
unless that by concerted action we
mutually exploit 1T, similar to the
plan followed by other prosperous ag-
ricultural and horticul tural sections of
the northwest. Strange as it may
appear it is difficult for many TO ap-
preciate the fact that the products
here are equal TO the best grown any
where and that superior advantages
exist mere over many u Tie COii kclltlS,
sections of Oregon and Washington
which are so well advertised The
advertising attracts attention and
while we listen we forget our own
ability to crow, thus giving consent in
recognition to what Is equally ours
The fruit displayed at the fair this
year was conceded by all to be of
superior quality Even visitors from
the famous Wenatchee Valley of
Washington, noted for its choice fruit.

GREAT WATER SUPPLY
IN MEDBURY VALLEY
Sheltered Ground On Snake River May Be
Irrigated by Flowing Wells or From
Two Different Canal Systems.

1000 acres by means of the steam
pumping plant installed last year by
w. j. Turner on the banks of the
Snake
Another and more valuable source
of water supply is the great artesian
basin which is known to underlie this
section and which has living demon
stration is the powerful flowing well
at Medbury station, which, capped
and under full control, supplies water
for railroad use. This we'll has such
extraordinary pressure that the drill
ers were compelled to obstruct the
flow by dropping weighty Instructions
within the bore, but even with this
restriction the we'll would supply
sufficient water to irrigate over 200
acres of land, as determined by the
estimates of competent engineers.
Enough natural gas escapes from
the we'll to light and heat an ordin
airy house, and a large amount of
power may be developed by attaching
a Pelton wheel to the discharge pipe.
Thus wells bored in this basin will
serve manifold purposes, aside from
being the means of furnishing the
cheapest water rights known in Idaho.
1t is estimated that we'll may be put
down at a cost not to exceed 81, 000,
and as a well will water over 200
acres, water would cost not over $40
per acre.
While this section is capable of
growing any crop that may raised in
southern Idaho, including sweet po-
tatos, almonds, and English walnuts
it is quiet likely that it will be de-
, voted chiefly to fruit raising as soil
and climate are admirably adopted tc
this industry. The valley is but a,
few miles up the river from the ia
nous Hall peach ranch, now owned
by Carl A. Davis, former Boise
! lawyer, who secured over ST, 900 worth
of fruit from II and one-half acres OF
! orchard during the season of 1907.

fruit display was elaborate and won
sweepstakes together with specials,
etc
The vegetable display at the fair
was especially note worthy The two
principle competitors being Mr..
Groefsema and Mrs Miller each hav-
ing about so varieties of products
The Miller exhibit was raised with
little if any irrigation and hence was
entered only in the sweepstake class.
Each of the above vegetable exhibits
won sweepstake Antoine, the gard

Mr.. Bridgewood won 1st on the
largest squash.
The largest number of vegetable
premiums was won by Mr.. Groefsema
and sons. Mike Garriety of Garnet

Medbury, Ida, Oct. 24.=Sixty
miles southeast of Boise and 10 miles
west of Glenns Ferry lies what is
known as Medbury valley, on the
north side of the Snake river A
crescent shaped cove of some 10, 900
acres in extent, it may be said to be
a continuation of the now famous
King Hill valley, protected as 1T is by
the same towering rimrocks which
skirt the mighty Snake and serve to
create semitropical climate in the
heart of Idaho's 8 desert 1t is some
what lower in altitude than King Hill
valley, the recorded elevation of the
rivers brink being given as 24OO feet,
some 400 feet lower than Boise and TAP
feet lower than Mountain Home,
which is distant 1S miles to the north
west 1t is through this valley that
the O. s. l.. railroad which cuts it
diagonally, ascends to the high table
land to the westward 1t takes it's
name from Medbury station, which
at one time was a freight division
point and had several hundred resi-
dents, but when the company several
years ago moved it's division business
to Glenns Ferry, the town dwindled
and only a section house and water
tank remained
But once more the MedDury valley
promises to be the scene of activity,
this time of agricultural nature,
and ere long the touch of water on its
thirsty but fertile lands will trans
form it to a vale of simmering green.
1t is particularly fortunate that it
will have at least three ways of Sc
curing water for irrigation The King
Hill company can easily extend its
canal sytsem to cover the greater
portion of the valley, and it is possible
to bring water in an inverted stee
siphon from the bitches soon to be
constructed on the Bruneau segrega-
tion by the Twin Falls company 1t
is possible also, to cover from 5000 tc

hibited sunflowers go inches in cir
cumference.
Many choice vegetables and fruits
could have won first premiums but
lack the required number of specf-
mems to complete.
This is failing at every fair be-
cause exhibitors do not familiarize
themselves with the rules governing
competition.
The judges must follow these rules
regardless Of sentiment and as they
are strangers they cannot display
partiality.

achieved has been pictured as due TO
unworthy political influence
The Herald has always thought the
senator's political domination of the
state was unfortunate, both for the
state and for his church: but it be-
lieves he was not only justified in help
ing these immigrants as he could. but
that he would have been remiss in his
duty If he had not taken up their cases
with the government officials.
from Utah, il was entirely natural for
him TO intercede in their behalf: nor is
there anything in the proceeding dis
creditable to him. The examination
had a perfect right to enter the coun-
try unchallenged: even the most con-
spicuous of them, the Roe sisters, were
admitted, and II is fair to assume that
their detention in the first place was
due to unwarranted statements made
by malicious persons
There is plenty of argument against
Senator Shoots role in politics with
out distorting the facts in an instance
like this. and The Herald believes it
only fair to him that a sharp line
should be drawn between a natural and
honorable activity and the objection
able and injurious consequences which
have marked his political control here.

THE LAST DEGREE IN BUNco.

II p. 7. Baraum could come back to
earth long enough to see the way a part
of the American public stands for hum
buggery at the hands of priZefight pro-
motors these days. he'd be green with
envy. Beside the San Francisco bunco
steerers who handle these fistic fakes
Barnum was an amateur, even if he
did go on the theory that the public
liked to be taken in.
Take. for instance. the case of Moran
and Attell. who were supposed to fight
on Monday. For weeks their coming
encounter had been exploited as a
great affair. Endless space was devot-
ed TO their looks. their training, their
comparative skill. When the day came
thousands paid for the privilege OF see
ing them get together and play at
fighting for twenty-three rounds to a
draw. There was just as much money
in it for the takers as IL they had really
fought. and the result paves the way
for another match. at which the public
will appear again at the usual price of
admission.
II the prizefight business has to be
