Railroad to be Built.

Nez Perez has been striving for some time to con-
meet itself effectively with the world by rail- know
in that the world would be benefited and that much
good would come to Nez Perez. The feat has finally

be inaugurated The Herald tells the story:
The work on the Nez Perez & Idaho railroad is
progressing very satisfactorily and at the time of
going to press about one-third of the rght-of-way
has been secured and two contracts for grading have
been let and the contractors to go to work Mon
day The right-of-way committee has been busy the
past three days and they expect to finish up their
work this week.
Chief Engineer Wood has been very busy this week
with full crew running lines and cross sectoning,
getting ready for the graders, He is camped at
Dublin which will be his headquarters for some time
as the heaviest work is in that vncny and for this
reason the grading will commence near that place
Messrs. Swanson & Olson, who have contracts, are
busy collecting their equipments and will begin

Fall Fair Preparations.

One of the harbingers of the approach of the har-
vest season is the preparation for exhibitions OF
the fruits of the soil 1t is short route from the
blossom to the bin and the is fastening by
with winged feet 1t is expected that the Idaho fair
displays during the coming autumn will surpass
all previous efforts for the industries of the soil de-
velop rapidly after the water is on and the ground
broken Canyon county is already making ready tor
its annual exhibition and it represents fruitful
patch on the map of Idaho. The Caldwell Tribune
has this to say
The board of directors of the Canyon County Fair
Association met at the office of Secretary Gowen
Wednesday night for the purpose of getting the ma
chnery in working order for the coming fair
The premium list for this year will be much larger
regarding racing will be strictly adhered to this year
Horse racing will not be catered to- The directors
wish to emphasize the fact that the Canyon county
fair is strictly agricultural fair, and it will be the
largest ever held in Idaho While the fair will not
take place until October yet the secretary is receive
ing inquiries about space. 1t is thought by the
board that it will be absolutely necessary to erect an
other bulling for the fine arts and school display

II Canal Completed.

The Mountainhome Maverick rejoices the
completion of an artificial water that has con-
sumed much time and money, but is worth great
deal more than the outlay represents:
The water from the Camas Prairie reservoir is
flowing through every inch of the canal from Canas
to Long Tom and its first splash into the Long Tom
basin awoke echoes that will resound for years to
come as marking the most important epoch in the
development and awakening of Mountain Home. Few
persons will realize the magnitude of this undertake
ing which, in effect, has been the changing of the
course of water as nature intended it should flow
and making it flow where it would be subservient
to the demands of In view of this interesting
fact brief resume of how the task has been accom-
plished will not be amiss
Work was commenced on the Camas Prairie canal
in the fall of 1904 and persistenty prosecuted
day and night until January 1, 1908. At last the
canal is completed and is carrying water.
