Peter Hemert In Jail.

Buying goods on credit, without an
initial payment, and selling them for
cash In hand, Is good way to get
rich quick, but it is liable to land
the get-rich-quicker In jail. AT least
that was the experience of Peter
Hemert of Paris, Bear Lake county,
who Is today an inmate of the Ban
mock county bastile with the charge
of grand larceny hanging over him.
Peter is accused of having bought a
buggy and harness from the Stude-
baker company's branch house at
Blackfoot, securing credit on the deal
on the strength Of the fact that he
has two brothers who are well-to-do
citizens of the Grove city He
brought the stuff to- Pocatello and
sold the buggy to Jones & Bennett
the North Main street second hand
store proprietors, for $40 and sec
posed of to an employe of l.. s, Hol
ley's livery stable on North Arthur
avenue, for $5. With this money
Peter is accused of having skiddooed
to his home in Paris, where he was
arrested last Thursday by Sheriff
Frank Wright Of Paris, Bear Lake
county, and brought to Pocatello tt
be turned over to Sheriff Arave o.
Bingham county. The latter com
municated with the sheriff OF Ban
mock county, and concluded that II
view Of the fact that the offense wal
committed in this county, the prison
er should be held here. Sheriff Quig
ley therefore took charge Of him, ant
he is now an inmate of the Jail in thi
city, awaiting the action of Count,
Attorney GRAY. The wagon and har
ness are in the possession Of Sheriff
Quigley. Hemert Is said to be wei

The Knight Templar Service.

Last Sunday about twenty-five
knights Templar enjoyed the hospi-
tality of our fellow townsman Geo.

pleasure and an Easter service for
them here. They came chiefly from
Idaho Falls and st. Anthony, and con-
stituted Idaho Falls Commandry, No

They came down on the morning
train and were escorted to the |. o.
0. F. hall where they remained until
1880 when they were taken by their
host to The Comemrcial Hotel where
covers were laid for them at the
long table in the dining room. Rev
C. A. Edwards sat at the head of the
table with Mr.. Gagon at his left and
G.. e. Bowerman the st. Anthony
banker at his right.
The table was very beautifully dec
Grated, and the menus printed espe-
cially for the occasion were gotten up
in colors. Mr.. Munson, the proprie-
tor of the hotel had everything ar
ranged nicely and the service was
prompt and agreeable in every re-
spect.
At I 80 they returned to the l. O.
o. F. hall for a social time, and at 3
o'clock marched in body to the
Meth odist church, wearing the re-
gala of their order, where every
thing was in readiness and an audi
ence awaited them.
Rev. Edwards assisted by Rev. Al
ward Chamberlain of the Episcopal
church conducted the pretty service
lasting two hours. Mr.. Edwards de-
livered one of his characteristic SER
mons that is full of practical inter
est to men and women alike, and Mr.
Chamberlain conducted the rituals

Wealth In Onions.

The onion farmer Is a comparative
~ new arrival upon the scene OF in
dustrial activities in Texas. He Is
now OF the largest. contributors to the
wealth Of the state. In little more
than eight years the value Of the
annual production Of onions In Texas
for the market has reached approx
mately two million dollars. When the
fact Is considered that this enormous
wealth is derived from only about
twenty-five hundred acres OF land,
some idea may he had Of tho abun-
dance of the YIELD and the good prices
that are obtained for the product.
Onions growing has done another thing
to help Texas. 1t has been the d.
rect means Of adding more than 81
100000 to the intrinsic value OF her
lands Inasmuch as the growers put
q good portion Of their annual earn
ings from the industry into property
improvements In town and country
the increase of taxable wealth from
this source has also been considerable.
The wonders which were wrought
by the magic touch of Aladdin's lamp
were no greater than the transforma-
ton which onions growing has brought
to a certain portion OF Texas during
the last few years. Land which. from
the time OF the early visit Of the
Spaniards to the Rio Grande border
section, was thought to be almost
worthless, and at the very most only
1T for goat grazing. Is now bringing
In an snuual net return Of from $500
TO $500 per acre from the onions which
nc produces. Before the inauguration
of onion growing any Of this land cos',d
have been purchased at prices rang
ing from one dollar to two dollars per
acre. It has now no established value
for the reason that none OF It's owners
are willing to sell. They will not TX
q value upon the land. Some Of them
are free to say that land which has
|srch large producing qualities ought
10 be worth not less than $1,000 per
acre. Some Of the oRions growers
say they would not be willing to &C
cept less than 5000 per acre for
their lands. Even at that price the
annual net return Will average nearly
twenty-five per cent On the invest

because the law says that the taxes
upon 1t cannot be raised within five
years, and that all money collected in
