HOMESTEAD FILINGS
 ON ARIZONA LANDS
LAND OFFICE FIGURES SHOW
 LAST YEARS ACREAGE TO BE
 ALMOST DOUBLE THAT OF THE ! YEAR PREVIOUS.

Secretary George W. Cowgirl of the board of trade has secured figures from another source the United States land office, which give testimony to the rap idity with which Arizona is settling up The figures are for two years running from April l to April l, and show that 4S,46l acres more land were filed upon under the homestead laws in the year just ended than in the year before. Here are the figures:
 l906.7 l907.S Inc. Acreage ..........65, 5,l53 l13,6l4 4s,46l Entries ................ 467 S65 39s Fees ..............-$4,l9 $7,S66 $3,67t
 Prospective settlers in Arizona should understand, however, that this showing has nothing to do with the irrigated district to be watered by the Roosevelt reservoir. There may have been few entries along the fringe of the desert near the district, but no considerable acreage. The land in the reservoir dis trict is all titled land, under irrigat ing canals, and can be bought only of present private owners, not Uncle Sam who has no lands for sale in the district The reason private owners have it foi sale is that some of them have acquired larger holdings than the government will permit one owner to get water for and the land must be sold if cultivated Others do not care to cultivate theil full holdings, even with the govern ment s permission, for they can make { living on much smaller holding anC start bank account by selling tn, surplus at a modest price.
 ! The greater part of the land entere, by homestead has been in the Sulphur | Springs and other large valleys wher, artes;an water is available, and in tn, mountain valleys

I recently scorched fine white shirt waist so badly that I feared it would tear if l touched it, says a contributor to The Delineator for June. However, I covered the scorched place with ordin- ary laundry starch, dampened and laid the waist in the sun. In an hour every vestige of scorch had disappeared.

broadened Thousands of acres of virgin land were
brought under irrigation canals and bitches Pre-
vious experience has shown that these lands, once
the water is turned upon Them can be made to pro-
duce so abundantly that the crop figures are almost
beyond belief.
No State can fail to prosper when its farmers are
prosperous no State that contains within its Dor
ders vast areas of tlabe land can fail to be
great State For the land becomes productive from
year to year The who cultivate it add every
season to their capital instead of taking from it.
With irrigation the possibility of crop. failures is
reduced to a negligible minimum. Therefore, if
Idaho had nothing but her farm lands, especially
the lands that are irrigated and that to be
irrigated in the future her well-being would be
assured
"But Idaho has more than farm lands. In 1907
her mines produced richly. The State is thickly
studded with minerals, and they are being taken
out in ever-increasing quantities. Also Idaho has
hundreds of thousands of sheep and cattle and
horses. She has thriving cities and towns and ham
lets, filled with good people be found any
where in the world, and all working to build up the
State.

signed by which Pittsburg capitalists agree to fur

canals and other work the proposed project.
This very essential part of the work having been
settled it is the intention of the corporation to push
the work just fast the weather will permit.
AS has been stated before, the company is making
preparations to push the electric railroad through
that section in order to carry supplies for the
struction work the canal SYSTEM SO that there
may be delay from lack of supplies.
The Salmon River irrigated tract will add 100000
acres to the available land in this county, making
this city the distributing point for the large guam
titles of supplies needed in the construction work.
Later when the land is under cultivation Twin Falls
will be the trading center for the settlers in that
section.-Twin Falls Times.

Press and Comment


The Caldwell News has set aside column of that
valuable paper to be devoted to the building up of
that portion of the State where it crculaes, by in
viting everybody contribute reading matter to be
published in that column, signed unsigned, de-
voted to the attractive features of the country and
the opportunities for additional settlers in
and occupy the vacant lands of Caldwell and vicinity
The readers of the News invited by its pro-
prietor to describe one or more ways in which
with small family make a living for that
family in your neighborhood."
The plan is good one; practically applied it will
serve as additional witnesses to all of the good
things which the editor of the Caldwell News has
to say from time to time to the merits of Can
yon County and Southern Idaho The friends and
acquaintance of those who suggest these oppor-
tunities through this column, will know at by
acquaintance that their confederation of the repre-
sensations of the News will remove all doubts to
skeptcism should any arise.
Caldwell and Canyon County have great deal to
be proud Of The SOIL the water and the climate are
IDEAL but most of all, Canyon County boasts of
high class of citizenship which is of her greatest
assets The citizen who is attracted by anything they
may in this column need have little fear of the
character of the neighborhood they will get in if
they locate in almost any portion of Canyon County
Canyon County has so many possibilities and is
we'll adapted to the raising of finer fruits that farm
units there will rapidly diminish and five, ten and
twenty acre fields will take the place of larger places
now being occupied by family; better farming
will be done in scientific manner, and greater
will be their yields at harvest time.
The Scimitar predicts that this plan will be i'm
minently successful and pauses to congratulate the
News its adoption

.FAIRM0NT HAS GONE DRY
SMALL MAJORITY GIVEN FOR
ANTI-SALoON TICKET.
Liquor People, However, Expected
to Fight For License, and May
Question the Vote.

In the municipal election held at
Fairmont Saturday that city was voted
dry, the prohibitionists getting ma
jority OF 49 on the question Of III
cense Mr.. M. Nicely, democrat, was
elected mayor over DR.. J. 0. McNee-
ly, republican. with majority of SO.
While the returns show majority
for prohibition 1t Is said there is a
strong possibility that the city will
continue to have its saloons after the
first Of May, that being the time the
present licenses expire.
IL Is figured that five Of the council
men elected are in favor Of licens'
with the same nunibse opposed. AS
these men are not conlrellea TO vote
against license and AZ it is not known
just how the mayor, who vii have to
settle the vote, stan''i, there is mach
uncertainty
1t is now said that the contest will
be on the grounds that the returns
show that the majority Of the people
were in favor OF license. During the
heat Of the campaign the saloon ele-
ment asked the friends OF license ~
to vote on that question and the re-
turns show that there were 81 bal
lots cast In that manner. 1t is figured
that the 81 voters were in favor OF IL
ctnse and that this will more than off
set the 40 majority for prohibition. OF
the five councilmen elected three are
republicans and two democrats.
When the result became known late
that night the temperance people held
celebrations In several OF the church
es, and the church bells were runs
for half an hour or more.
Henry Gilmore, manager OF the
Fairmont brewery, had charge of the
license fight, while Edward w. Mills
for the prohibitionists, and Rev. G. p
Smith for the anti-saloon element
not belonging to that party, waged
the eight against the saloons.
Both sides used the newspapers
freely at advertising rates. There
were few attempts to cast Illegal votes
and the election was IN all q very quiet
one.
