$4,000 HOTEL FOR JEROME.
Investment Co. Anticipates Growth OF
Town.

Jerome, Ida, Oct 10.-The finishing
touches of the Twin Falls North Side
canal are now being given Donald
Grant, the contractor has completed
his contract for the main canal ahead
of time One of the most prominent
features of the canal is the rubble
wall, which is four and one-fourth
miles long and 10 feet high The width
on the bottom Is a little over half the
height of the wall. The wall is con-
structed of lava rock and concrete and
is a masterpiece of masonry. O'Neill
4 Bro. were the sub-constractors un-
der Donald Grant and built the wall.
Donald Grant and his score of sub
contractors are now actively engaged
on the 300 miles of lateral. Water
will be ready for delivery, as per Mr..
Kuhns promise to the settlers, April

Hustling Young City.
The new town of Jerome is very
much in the public eye these days and
is certainly busy young city. Je-
rome is located in the center of the
Twin Falls North Side tract, 20 miles
southeast of Shoshone. The new pub
lie school was opened September 18th
with over 80 scholars in attendance.
Jerome has state bank, large general
stores, two blacksmith shops, beauti-
full drug store, two restaurants, two
lodging houses, six real estate offices,
plant for making concrete blocks
and a large lumber yard, one saloon.
enc lunch counter and billiard hall
combined, two butcher shops and a
cold storage plant and an up-tO-date
newspaper. Jerome has at present
about 300 population and by May, next
will have 1000.

finished from Gooding to Jerome, a
distance of 26 miles, passing through

like water and yet not dollar misop-
Piled Mr.. Kuhn has certainly had the
support of as loyal staff in his
march across the desert as Grant had.
1T has been a mighty victory 900
acres of Idaho's best and most fertile
soil reclaimed, homes created for
thousands of people, opportunities
furnished on every hand to the wage
earners, to the capitalist, the farmer,
in fact, all classes have been includ-
ed in the great triumphant march from
desert to garden. Towns have been
started, schools and churches built, a
railroad constructed, water works I'M
der construction, hundreds of miles of
canals made, an empire born, millions
of dollars of taxable property added to
idaho's support and advancement-and
all this accomplished in 10 months--a
record of development, of achievement
never before made in the United States
of like class.
Both VIII Grow Rapidly.
Jerome and Wendell will be large,
prosperous towns, located in the heart
of one of the richest tracts of land in
the west. These towns are being fitted
up with every modern improvement,
electric lights, sewerage, electric rail-
road, electric power for manufacture
ing purposes.
Truly it is good to dwell in land of
action, where there is work for all
who are willing and opportunity
knocks at every mans door. Idaho
may we'll be proud of the Twin Falls
North Side tract and it's wonderful
record. statesman.

will be put in all around. This 2o-inch
curb will be a convenient place for car

outside and on the train side for the con-
venience of officials. =
The south part of the main building,
sox4o feet, is the general waiting room
and ticket office, while opening from
this on the west is the ladies' waiting
room on the south, and gentlemen's
smoking room on the city side, with
toilets and lavatories between. The
ceiling of the waiting room is supported
by two exposed pillars and two in the
walls, and the fnish-the same as is
found in all the rooms-is yellow WASH
ington fir in natural finish, and the floors
are also of fir. The walls throughout
have rough plaster finish colored a deep
cream. The ticket Office, one of the
finest anywhere in the west, occupies the
bay window on the south and is elabo-
rately finished toward the general wait
ing room in bay-window effect, there
being wv stationary square windows and
two ticket windows, brass barred. A
third ticket window opens into the ladies'
retiring room. All these rooms are we'll
lighted north and south, and a door leads
from the ladies' room direct to trains,
while double doors north and a door
south will make the general waiting
room cool and pleasant. The furniture
for these rooms is not yet in place but
will include the most approved seats for
the waiting room, rockers for the ladies'
room and ticket office furniture to fit
especial places. Three 3-light chande-
Tiers will be placed in the general wait
ing room. Elsewhere in the building
drop lights are used.
In the pleasant ticket office will be
found George w. Kilmer, agent; c. O.
Hubbell, day ticket clerk, and F. Z. How
ell, night ticket clerk. The additional
depot force consists of Fred Kostelecky,
day baggageman; Ed. Belden, night
baggageman; N. D. Richey, chief Car
clerk; John Littlehales, assistant; Clar-
ence Lamberson, night car clerk. The
regular expressman and the janitor are
yet to be selected.
The west wing is given owe to the
needs of the inner man. The entrance
to the restaurant, 32x29 feet, is from the

While the part of a city around the
depots is necessarily given over to bust
ness, and that of the less attractive kind,
the beauty, convenience and utility of
the depots or the lack of these things
give strangers their first impressions of a
city, either agreeable or the reverse.
1t is with much satisfaction that we are
able to present to our readers the &C
c%ompanying picture of Dickinson's new
passenger depot. Only two other cities
on the Northern Pacific have anything
to compare with it, Fargo. the largest
city in the state, and Bismarck, which
secured a handsome, although much
smaller structure, by virtue of being the
capitol city. Dickinson won hers, like
Fargo, by virtue of her commercial i'm
portance.
The building is plain and of the ap.
proved depot style of architecture. The
main building is 4ox6o feet, two story
facing north on Willard street and south
to trains, while on either end are one
story wings, each 32x5o feet. The super
structure is constructed of red brick from
the Missouri Slope Brick & Tile Co.'S
yards, laid plain save Roman corners.
The belt courses, window trim, door
trim, etc., are of Kettle River sandstone
of a little darker shade rock-faced,
while the same stone in bush hammer
finish forms the window lodges. The
door stills are of durable St. Cloud
(Minn.) granite. The roof is covered
with metal shingles in imitation of slate.
A dormer completes the roof of the main
building and this gable is finished with
cement and has a small fancy window.
The gables project to form bay windows
on the first and second floors.
On the east end of the lower floor is
the express room, I8x3o feet, with a wide
sliding door on the south and a Colonial
door, with small side windows, on the
city side. Windows on the north and
south give ample light. All windows
throughout the building have transoms
in Colonial small square panes-a pretty
feature of all the rooms.
The remaining space in the east
wing-3ox32 feet-is devoted to baggage
necessities. A wide sliding door admits
baggage on the north, while another on
the south allows trucks to pass to trains.
In the northwest corner is the checking
counter, beyond which is a door to the
general waiting room, the counter shut
ting out the public from the baggage
room in approved city style. Entrance
to the basement is had from the north
end of the baggage room, and above
these stairs are the 6ve-foot wide stairs
to the second story, the entrance being
