metropolis was covered with two feet
Of snow, with the weather intensely
cold. by Thomas f. Kicks and fourteen
hardy pioneers Little did the foun-
ders think probably then that less
than quarter of century hence the
result of the hardships which they en-
dured would build up metropolis of
the commanding kind that Rexburg to-
day is in one Of the wealthiest counties
in Idaho. However. such is the case.
Before passing on, it is interesting
to note here that many difficulties
were at first encountered; but all
these have been perfectly subjugated
by the ever onward hand of industry
and mans wonderful ingenuity. 1t
was in the present city of Rexburg
that during the summer of 1888, fol-
lowing the breaking up of an extreme
ly hard winter that Pioneer Kicks
commissioned Engineer Andrew S.
Anderson, one of the best posted men
in water lore, to survey the first
canal of the country and it was the
water from that canal that after kis-
sing the cleared sagebrush land that
illustrated to the self-sacrificing pio-
neers that they had opened up in and
about Rexburg veritable garden
of Eden for the hardy farmer and
rancher.
Public Schools
One of the features upon which Rex
burg prides itself is its great public
school system, than which it is recog-
nized in educational circles there is no
better anywhere in the United States.
Here IN this garden spot of the Snake
River valley the great total of 1000
children and more advanced pupils
and students attend the various
schools and academy building No
other city Of similar population in the
great intermountain country can show
record along these lines to In any
way compare with Rexburg.
Perhaps some better idea can be
had Of the liberality Of Rexburg cit-
zens when It is stated that during
the last few years on an average

beet raising, afford plenty to keep the
farmer busy. The sugar factory which
is located within three miles OF Rex
burg, distributed in three months to
raisers OF sugar beets last year about
$l,o00,0o0 A great deal OF the money
so distributed again finds it's way into
the Golfers Of Rexburg merchants,
The altitude Of Rexburg is 1900
feet above sea level and the average
temperature for the year is SO de-

this part of Idaho.

during the present year the Rexburg
station has handled many thousand
cars of merchandise, stock and pro

opportunity for any live merchant to
succeed.
While Rexburg lays no claims to
pretentiousness, it's social distinction

of the intermountain country. While
it has no exclusive smart SET" the
majority of the citizens are intelli-

Coal in Abundance
Coal abounds in the county and is
being mined In small way for local
consumption.
There is every prospect Of trans
continental line at an early day, an
extension of the Northwestern from
Casper, Wyo., to Boise and thence to
the coast.
CHANGING at Rexburg retrospectively,
one beholds it established In barren
a-d desolate wilderness, notes that
wilderness reclaimed civilizatiQr

watched with startled gaze this sud

and behold, Rexburg has sprung for

Splendid Roads
ReNburg is provided With the best
possible roads, and all sections are
reached by good county roads and
driveways. In addition to fine roads
and splendid sidewalks, the city has
. splendid electric lighting plant and
excellent telephone service, being in
communication with all sections of

ReXburs has completed and has in
active service a splendid water sys-
senl, The water supply is obtained
from well at depth of eighty feet
sunk in solid lava. There is an unlim-
tied supply of water and the quality
can not be questioned, as it comes
from a strong underground current,
and is entirely free from sediment. A
powerful pump, driven by a fifty
horsepower electric motor, forces the
water through a twelve-inch pipe for
five blocks. up hill, to the reservoir,
which Is 100 feet higher than our Main
street, and causes the water to exert
a pressure in town of sixty pounds
to the square inch. The reservoir is
made OF cement, and to protect the
water, is covered with good durable
roof. When full, the reservoir holds
10000 gallons Of water, and pumps
$50 gallons a minute. A trifle more
than eight hours are required to fill
the reservoir.
Rexburg's fire hose In play will use
l75 gallons of water minute, and at
that rate it would require 16 hours to
empty the reservoir. The pipe be-
tween the well and the reservoir holds
21,000 gallons of water, and can all be
used in town in case the supply of
mated that the average family of five
persons will use for all purposes 100
gallons of water day, or 20 gallons
to the individual. At this rate the
reservoir holds sufficient water to
supply population of $500 water
users one day.
The expense of putting in the water
system has been met by a bond is
sue of $4,000, a part of which has
been used to equip fire department.
The interest on the $4,000 amounts
to 500 a month, and is met by a
special water tax

Mr.. Bob Hampton stood in the bright
sunshine on the steps of the hotel, his
appreciatiye gaze wandering up the
long, dusty, unoccupied street, and
finally rising to the sweet face of the
young girl who occupied the step
above. AS their eyes met both smiled
as if they understood each other.

large portion of the night thinking out
