OPEN MORE LAND
NEAR TWIN FALLS

A large number of inquiries have
reached the EXAMINER Office IN the
past few weeks regarding the Carey
Act. lands to be opened under the
Twin Falls canal system. A short
statement is published herewith for
the information of the readers of
this paper who are interested IN
this opening.
The next opening of Carey Act
land in the Twin Falls country will
be on. June /, when 10000 acres,
known as the Salmon River Pro
ject, will be opened at this time.
The land under this segregation is
considered by experts as the best
land that has opened under any OF
the projects. Professor Fulmer OF
Washington State University who
made an analysis of this land re
ports as follows:
GA small trace of alkili, and sc
per cent more plant producing quail
tiles than in the Yakima valley anc
there is only one place on the Pael
&c coast where it is equalled anf
that is Pajaro valley in California.
The water supply for this land i
obtained from the Salmon river
and competent engineers have pro
nounced the water supply beyon'
criticism. The waters of the Sal
mon river will be stored. The re
servoir will be the largest in tn
United States and will have com
paratively little surface area com
pared with its capacity owing to il
lnusual depth. The dam which
80 miles south and west of the cit
of Twin Falls. will be 200 feet
heighth and the water will be turne
into the canal by means of Ion
tunnel which will pierce the he
back which follows the east bank I

The parade of draft horses April
90 promises to be one of the finest
ever seen in Bear Lake county.
The committee having in charge
the arrangements for the big horse
show have received communications
from residents of practically every
locality that was expected to par
ticipate and have been assured that
representative horses from every
community will be here to compete
for the fine prizes that are offered.
There are some fine horses owned
in the territory embraced in the
field of this show, and horse lovers
will be given a rare treat who wit

ranged for that date.
WILL BE IMMENSE CROWD
Those who have kept in touch
with the situation say that the
crowd that will be in attendance at
the big horse show will be one of
the largest ever seen here. The
question which will confront the
committee will be the entertainment
of the large number of people who
will attend. The committee has
been at work OH this matter how
ever, and state that they will be able
to arrange for accommodations for
every one. The people of Mont
pelier are determined to have the
event success in every way, and
many of them have signitied their
willingness to accommodate limited
number of people at their homes.
MERCHANTS WILL MAKE CONCESSION
A number of the merchants of the
city have signified their willingness
to make April 90 day of special
inducements IN their stores. The

is being shown this year in the
securing of good seed. A number
of the alfalfa fields are old and are
to be plowed up this season and

Mr.. George Esterholdt of Dingle

Little FIuCtuatien Occurs In

and the Fact That Money Supplies

SLIGHT GAINS ARE MADE

New York, September 30.-The stock
market today gave evidence that 1t haa
passed through all the usual counter
fluctuations which follow the elimination
of a speculative movement of any dura-
ton. Prices were practically motionless
and such slight mobility as was shown
was due entirely to the shifting efforts Oh
a class of small room traders. There
were no large operations perceptlple anu
no sign of any outside interest IN the
market. The class of operators respon-
sible for the former speculative activity
were passive or confined themselves 10

port is offered on declines.
This show of stability in itself helps

is no show of the selling of small invest
ment holdings, such as was feature at
the higher attitudes to which prices at
tanned. While liquidation is thus as
couraged there is no accumulation OF
stocks going on and the diminishing
volume of the market is the consequence.
The semi-stagnation is quite generally at
tributed in the financial district to a de-
sire to await the passing of the election
before taking a position in the market.
This market attitude is partly a renectioi
of the commercial world, from winch come
reports of postponements of orders pend

The break of international Paper pre-

SPOT OFFERINGS ARE FEW

New York, September s0.-The cot
ton market fluctuated within a COM
paratively narrow range during to-
days trading, closing steady at a net
decline of l to points. Sales were
estimated at $4,000.
The market opened steady at an adj
vance of one point to a decline of
points, but during the early trading
sold to 6 points net higher on scat
tered covering. Cables were about as
due and had little influence, but the
weather map was better with no pre-
cipitation and somewhat higher tenn
peratures and there was southern sell
ing shortly after the opening. Later
the market eased off from the best
and the close was within a point or
two of the lowest. A report issued
by a local authority showed a condi
ton of 70.7 against 67.S last year. An
other report was said to have been is
sued showing a condition of II per
cent, compared with the official con-
dition of 67.7 per cent. last year. The
decline here during the afternoon may
have been promoted by reports of
lower spot offerings from the Atlantic
states.

SLIGHT INCREASE
IN WHEAT PRICES
Opening Is Easy Bull Market
Becomes Firm
BETTER DEMAND FOR GRAIN
In the Corn Market the September
Options Drop &c, But Other OPP
tions Are Firm-oats and >
Provisions Unchanged.

Chicago, September 3O.-Brisk demand
for the cash grain at outside domestic
markets caused firmness in the local
wheat market today. closing prices show
ing net gains of l4@asc to &c. Corn closed
irregular. Oats steady and provisions ir-
regular.
The wheat market opened easy, owing
to weakness of foreign markets, prices
being a shade higher to AQssc lower. A
firmer tone developed before the end of
the first half hour on buying by several
of the leading operators and throughout
the remainder Of the day sentiment was
inclined to favor the bulls. Advances at
Minneapolis and Duluth and a revival in
demand for cash wheat were largely re-
sponsible for the firmness Texas and
southeastern mills were reported to have
bought cash wheat at st. Louis and To-
ledo reported a good demand from Ohio
mills. Export demand here was quiet,
but the esaboard reported 25 boatloads
taken for export, chiefly durum. The mar
ket closed firm.
Clearances of wheat and flour were
equal to $4,000 bushels.
Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago re-
ported receipts of 1888 cars, compared with
1881 cars last week, and 756 cars a year
ago.
Closing of the September deal, which
was accompanied by a decline of &c from
the high point of the day, was the fea-
ture of trade in the corn market. The
price of this delivery advanced lie from
last nights close early in the session
on buying by shorts, but late in the day
the price dropped from 79c to 76c, the
short interest not being large enough to
absorb offerings thrown on the market
by holders.
1t was claimed that 100000 bushels were
settled on private terms. The future de-
iiveries were inclined to be firm the
greater part of the day, owing to nu-
merous reports of damage by frost. The
market closed irregular with September
~ to &c lower, at 76c to 76Ac, and flu
ture deliveries firm. The local receipts
were 1O6 cars, with 30 of contract grade.
oats for September delivery were firm
nearly all day while future deliveries were
inclined to be weak The firmness of
September was due to buying by shorts
and the heavy tone of the distant de-
liveries was chiefly the result of selling
pressure from cash interests. The mar
ket closed about steady with prices a
shade lower to Nc higher.
Local receipts were 48 cars. Renewed
liquidation of October pork caused weak
ness in provisions during the first half
of the day, but In the latter part of the
session buying of lard by packers caused
steady feeling in lard and ribs, al
though pork continued weak. At the close
prices were 5@714c higher to 35c lower.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat
