/ have been speaking of the arid
lands situated in the southern part
of the state. The northern part of
the state is in the rain belt or
nonarid region, and eqnally at
tractive; perhaps mors SO if any
thing, especially to the eastern
people. Here is found the famous
mineral region Of the Occur
d'Alenes, the untold wealth of
which no man knows or can even
estimate. Here also are the vast
white pine forests which are said
by those who have cruised them to
be the greatest virgin white pine
forests now in existence. Here
also are the great wheat fields and
the modern farm with all the re-
finement and culture to be found
in the great farm regions of the
East or Middle West. = =
Thus as a commonwealth we are
advancing with remarkable strides
along lines Of material wealth.
Our varied and incalculable re-
sources are impatiently awaiting
the compelling influence of that
energy now streaming this way.
Great as she is already, however,
Idaho has not yet garnered-her
face is toward the harvest field.
The indeecribable light which gilds
the imperial frontlets Of our Tetons
or chsses the fugitive shadows Of
night from the Owyhees is nei
more prophetic of the food of sun
shine which in few hours is to
carry light and life to the valleys,
than our raw wealth. touched by
the energy of man, is prophetic Of
our strength and greatness in the
immediate years to cone.
Idaho is not a crank state, hel
morals are not made up of spasms
| of virtne. She keeps in touch with
the progress of the age and gathers
to herself and absorbs the best
thought of the day without indulg
ing in chasing the uncaged rain
bows or getting excited over those
universal panaceas that pass in the
night.

New Settlers Breaking Sod


f. o. Smokstad, one of the new set
tiers at Sharlow, was transacting busi-
ness in the city Tues. His crop, is all
in the ground and coming up nicely
and he is engaged in breaking up sod
on 200 acres Of ground with two six
horse teams. He is expecting to use
also, a steam engine for breaking. TIL :
Alexander Bros. in the same neigh
;borhood are also breaking up prairie
as well as other rustlers in that part
Of the county. The work is being
rushed and the new ground will be
seeded to fax as soon as possible.
N Mr.. Smokstad says he has resided
both in Iowa. and Southern Minnesota,
but believes that Stutsman county is
as good farming region as either Of
the other states, and he sees no reason
why land should not be as valuable
here IN the near future as in the old
states. When he was a lad in Iowa
the only crop that could be raised on
land now worth 800 an acre, was
wheat. Now corn is the main crop
and wheat is passed out Of the farmers
calendar. /.

Narrowly Escaped Drowning.

Narrowly Escaped Drowning.
Charley. .Cowder, IA years old, had
a narrow escape from drowning in
the James river near the McGilliyray
place Tuesday morning and only the
prompt assistance Of John Manning
saved the bows life. The young lad,
who herds cattle near that place, was
crossing the Jim on q narrow plank
foot bridge in the rear Of ]. Hub
bard's place, when near the middle
the planks gave way, land plunged the
hoy into the river, which is very
broad and dsep there, and has q swift
current, owing to the, recent rains.
Cowder couldn't swim and had sunk
twice and almost unconscious when
Manning, who saw the accident,
rushed to the rivers bank and push
ing in front Of him an old broken
boat managed..to support the boy on
the boards and brought him to shore.
Both were thoroughly chilled but
soon recovered, apparently but little
the worse for the ducking.

North Dakota Mushrooms.

Since the recent heavy rains a
number Of Jamestown people have
sought with much success the haunts
of the mushroom family. Edible
mushrooms are found in certain To-
calities in the vicinity of the city
and also on the prairies. They are
especially good in the spling and fall
and when properly prepared make a
dish ''fit for the gods.'' A great
many people are not thoroughly IA
miliar with the various varieties Of
mushrooms and this wholesome food
is eaten BY comparatively few people
on account of a lack Of knowledge to
distinguish the wholesome from the
poisonous.t Mushrooms grow with
amazing rapidity and those who have
gathered and eaten them are conf
dent of Knowing the right kind to
select. They grow in this part of the
state to great size and the variety
with "pink gills' is considered safe.
1t is said that the puff balls, gathered
before maturity are also wholesome
and that there are no poisonous
mushrooms Of that particular kind.
The pink gill variety us usually
prepared by peeling off the outer
layer and baking in an oven With q
little butter and seasoning. They are
easily digested and afford q very SUBJ
stantial food besides being Of most
delicate favor and having an appe.
tizing aroma. Mushrooms cooked in
this way furnish their own juice or
gravy without the addition of any
water In their PREPARATION. Some Of
the specimens secured last week by
mushroom hunters were over six in
ches in diameter.

Sewer and Water Extens1ous.

There was special council meeting
Mon. night called by Mayor Blewett
to consider the petitions OF property
owners on 7th avenue for the extern
sion of sewer and water mains. The
council decided to grant the request
of the property owners and to expe-
dite the preliminaries so that the
extension could be- co mpleted as early
as possible.
1t will cost about $40, 600 to put lin
the additional mains, and resolu-
tion was passed authorizing the city
engineer TO make the.required specl-
ications at once. The sale OF the
warrants, it is believed, can be made
without difficulty and it is under
stood that local investors would like
to subscribe for the warrants which
bear. per cent interest. It was also
stated that Contractor Kennedy OF
Fargo informed member of the
council that he would be willing to
take his pay In warrants provided he
was successful bidder for the work.
Morris Beck addressed the council
on the matter of theatre license. .-
1t was stated that a number OF
bitches in the streets, dug for water
mains, the laying Of gas pipes, and
work by city plumbers, had fallen in,
and in some places the dirt has drop
ed a foot or more from the top of the
ground making a dangerous ditch.
The responsibility for the replacing
the earth was discussed, whether it
should be paid for by the city, bJ the
plumbers, or by the former contract
ors on water mains where most OF the
trouble seems to lie. The ordinance
clearly provides for protection OF
streets in this matter by the wetting
of the earth when replaced, or ,tamp-
ing of the same to properly settle re-
placed earth. .1s,t .s

RIVER IMPROVEMENT
Charges Ia tho Appearance Of the
River Since the Dam was
s. Finished.

With the completion of the new
city dam, and since the recent rains,
the water in the river has risen with
great rapidlty and all sorts of new
conditions, mostly Of a favorable
character, have followed the. filling Of
the river banks with their old time
volume Of water. The city wells
have felt the.,effects of the retention
of..the water in the stream, and the
big we'll at the electric light plant
now has over four feet Of splendid
water where previous to the compile
tion of the dam there was so little
that pumping for a short time would
exhaust the supply. Now the well
cannot be exhausted by pumping
needed..fo all city uses. The stand
pipe on the hill north of the town is
easily kept filed as heretofore.
The effect of the water in private
wells is also noticed to greater or
less extent, particularly on the west
side of Fourth avenue. The water
in the river also will provide mois-
ture for the trees along the banks
and other trees planted throughout
the town.
The water has covered the rub
bish that has accumulated in the
bed, has freshened. the banks, and
adds greatly to the appearance of the
banks on both sides of the river.
The Klaus and Nickeus parks look
much more attractive since the
water was restored to the stream.
A number of row boa Is, and prob
ably several launches are being con-
templated for pleasure purposes on
the river. Starting from the dam a
trip can be made up the river "a dis
tance Of five or six miles, counting
the. many winding turns made by the
stream, which in reality will cover
distance direct Of less than two
niles. The river flows all the way
between banks lined with trees and
wild undergrow tb, and the trip can
be made very pleasant water excur-
sion during the summer months.
Frank Bennett is expecting to have
a number of row boats on the river
in a..short time, and will construct a
small dock near the ornamental bridge
now being built across the river into
the Klaus park.
