1t is only in recent years that the
value of dry farming in this commu-

Some Of the crops Of wheat have
reached the 40 bushel to the acre

The value of the large crops Of hay

HOW BEAR LAKE IMPRESSED THE VISITORS
Extracts from Papers Giving Sentiments
of Club Members.

Upon their arrival home large
number of the editors who visited
Montpelier during this meeting Of the
Press club expressed through the col
umns of their papers the impression
made upon them by the territory, and
especially Bear Lake.
Following are few short extracts
taken from the columns Of different
papers in the club:

meeting Of the Eastern Idaho Press

pelier and aside from transacting a

great benefit to the members had the
time of its life in the way Of enter
ment by the people of Bear Lake coun-
ty. The visitors arrived in Montpe-
lier Saturday evening and Sunday
morning and were at once informed
by the president of the club that all
money in the pockets Of the visiting
editors was counterfeit, so far as its
ability to purchase anytime in Bear
Lake county during the meeting Of
the club was concerned. That was a
pretty good joke and such one as an
editor can fully appreciate, especially
when it is on himself. At Fish Haven

ever the deposits have been opened
great bodies Of high-class phosphate
have been encountered. 1t is easy
to see that at no great distant day,
when better freight rates can be had,
Bear Lake phosphate fields will be
supplying the farmers of the earth
with fertilizer for their farms. The
government experts who have visited
the fields assert that nothing any
where begins to compare with the i'm
mensity of the quantity, and high
class quality that is found here. The
largest development work so far done
in the belt has been almost within the
city limits Of Montpelier. Many
thousands Of tons have been shipped
from here and before another year it
is confidently believed that the ship
ments will amount to hundreds of
tons daily. Another company is work
ing at Georgetown, another back Of
Soda Springs, while two more are at
work on the deposit close to Coke
vile, Wyoming. Before many years
these beds should be and will be pro-
ducing trainsloads day, as the de-
mand is already enormous. Reason
able freight rates is all that stands
in the way of immense production
even now, as the beds can easily be
opened, lying as they do in ideal posi-
ton for mining.
Next to the phosphate deposits
comes the splendid showing of copper
ores, carrying also large values in
silver and gold. Copper leads are
found on both sides Of the valley, in
the two ranges of mountains that.
traverse the county north and. south.
Prospecting in dilatory fashion has
been carried on for several years, and
some fine ore has been taken out, but
recently work on systematic scale
has been started, and from now on
will be pushed in true mining fashion,

Upon arriving in Montpelier We
were greatly surprised to see so large

the newspaper people very cordial
welcome. The first evening the club
attended a dance in a 10000 build

dancing. The building has Just been
completed and is finished with fine,
white maple floor, making it one Of
Tie best dance halls in the west.

GRAND OLD BEAR LAKE
Some Information About Idaho's Greatest
Summer Resort.

Many Of the people Of the valley
have built summer cottages at vari-
Gus points along the western shore of
the lake, and own boats and launches

that may be hired by the hour, or
chartered for any trip desired on the
lake.
On the eastern shores Of the lake
the country is of different nature but
just as attractive from many points
of view. Hills raise abruptly from
the waters edge, and in these hills
are fine hunting during the chicken
season. Hot springs, for which med
zeal authorities claim great medicinal
properties, spring from the mountain
side. The most noted, of these is a
spring owned by Judge Rich Of Mont
pelier. It is equipped with fine
swimming pool, and is favorite re-
sort for people who feel the need Of
hot springs, as well as being a noted
winter resort.
To the north Of the lake proper
is Mud lake, body Of water draining
the lake and extending for many
miles north, forming what is popu-
larry termed the outlet. This mud
lake and outlet is overgrown with
rushes and weeds, and is Matching
place for ducks. As soon as the duck
season opens this territory is a yeri-
table sportsman paradise. The
hunter who is even reasonable
marksman with a shotgun need have
his bag limited only by the state law,
which specifies the number he may
kill in one day.

shade for the many campers during

TAFr.s CREDENTIALS.

The force of public opinion is be-
ginning to tell in this campaign
There never was a man able to Judge
the trend of popular sentiment bet
ter than Theodore Roosevelt. and
after a careful canvass of the situa-
ton he gave out his opinion that
Hughes is the logical candidate I'm
New York. The announcement pro-
voked a storm OF protest from that
kind of politicians, who are used to
getting their campaign funds from
protected criminals. They declared
the Doodle vote would defeat Hughes,
because of his anti-gambling crusade.
Such was their only ground for fight
ing him, and such may be accepted
as the issue so far as New York state
Is concerned. We may we'll let New
York alone to determine whether her
decent people or the gamblers are
dominant there.
But the effect on the national cleo
ton of Hughes nomination cannot
be overestimated. His admirers in
the middle west are legion; irrespec-
tive of party. II was a question as to
whether a majority of the better e,e-
ment preferred Hughes or Taft. II
federal influence cut any figure in the
Republican campaign before the con-
vention, II was as the determining
factor between Taft and Hughes. The
fact that Hughes made the opening
speech OF the campaign In the middle

administration. coalesces the two

With the cheap and regular boat
service Paducah has something like a
monopoly. with the necessity OF
shipping by train and cartmg over

other railroad points.
Coal towing boats are tied up,
when they might be rushing coal
down from PNtsburg; Cumberland
river boats cannot get into the mouth
of that stream from the Ohio, and the
Tennessee river packets, which find
the Tennessee an accommodating
stream for the lower reaches, have
difficulty in the lower Ohio getting

natl and Memphis whenever the stage

dwindled TO one light draught boat
