JOHN WILEY JONES
Passes TO the Reward That Awaits
The Upright.

John w. Jones was born in the
town of Prestonsburg in April 1898.
He died In Louisa, KY, about mid
night of Monday October 26, 1908,
sged seyenty-five years and few
months. His funeral was held IN
the NJ. E. Church South on the af-
ternoon Of Wednesday, October 2s
and at its close his mortal remains
were carried to the Jones burial
ground where so many Of his kim

by six children and one sister, Mrs.
Launa Mead, Mrs. Alma Fowler, Mrs.
Mary Chapman, all Of Mingo count,

OF these all save Mrs. West were
present at the last car hly scene.
Mr.. Jones was married twice. His
first wife was a sis er of the late
Judge John NJ. Rice She died many
Years ago. His second marriage
was with daughter Of he late

SOUTH OMAHA, Nov. IA, 1908.
Receipts of cattle this week, although
fairly liberal, have met with good in
quiry and there has been a substantial
advance on all good kinds of killing cat
tie. Tops reached S.. 80 on Wednesday.
Good cows have sustained about this
advance, but canning and common
classes are a little more than steady.
Stockers and feeders where of good
quality have really shown the most ad-
vance, and values for these classes are
25c to 35c higher than the close last
week. Good to choice killing steers are
quotable at $500 to S5.75; fair to good

Some interesting figures relating to
the mineral output of the state Of Idaho
for the year 1907, have been received in
Boise by mining men. The figures are
authentic and were compiled by the
geological survey of the United States.
Idaho is labled as one of the largest
mineral bearing states in the union and
its output in silver and copper ecxels the
amount of the same minerals mined in
Alaska, Washington, and Oregon. The
value of her mineral products of all
kinds for 1907 is es timated at S2l, 300, 612,
almost 81, 900, 900 more than the mineral
outputs of Washington, Oregon or
Alaska.
The report is an important one and of
great interest not only to local mining
men but to miners and promoters in all
sections of the state. 1t gives some
idea of the great resources along the
mineral line in the Gem state. The
richest producing mining property is
located in the Panhandle country of
Idaho owing to the fact that the big
lead and copper mines are to be found
there. Southern Idaho is well in line
and produces the bulk of the silver and
gold. While this state now produces
this great amount of ore, the mining
industry, claim mining men, is still in
its infancy.
The following table of the mineral
output of the Gem state for 1907 and
the valuations of the same as compiled
by the geological survey will be studied
with interest:

Dry Farm School Opens.

The new school building six miles east
of town was completed last week, and
school began Monday with L. ]. Hughes
teacher. The building is a nice one,
well constructed and neat in every way.
Flagler & Guliek had the contract for
the building and the work reflects great
credit upon them.
The school is located near the center
of settlement where year ago were
but two or three houses. There are
probably fifty now. When the school
census was taken it disclosed about
thirty-five of school age, and the num-
Der has probably increased some since
then. The school is one of two branches
of the American Falls school, from
which pupils will be transferred to the
school here at the completion of the
seventh grade.

live stock sufficient for the support of
the entire population of the globe.
This vast area of fertile, and as vet
almost unutilized land, is the foundation
upon which the American people must
build for the continuance of their pros
perity for at least a century to come.
Properly utilized it will solve many per-
picking problems. 1t will relieve the
congestion of the cities, provide an OUT
let for superabundant capital, and af-
ford opportunities for the enterprising
and discontented for decades. 1t con-
tains the richest mineral deposits. the
greatest forest resources, the most fer
tile soil and the most genial and salu-
brious climate on the continent.
What its development and exploita-
ton would mean to the transportation.
manufacturing, mercantile, financial,
and labor interests of the nation cannot
be even dimly foreshadowed. 1t would
furnish stimulus that would be felt
not merely in the great centers of pop
ulation and industry, but in the remot-

With from fifteen to twenty inches of
rainfall in this section, there is no
reason why farming should not be sue
cessful. A writer in the Century Mag
azine, in the following article, says
twelve inches of rainfall will produce
crops equal to irrigation:
Contrary to the commonly accepted
ideas as the statement may be, it is
nevertheless an amply demonstrated
fact that wherever in this great arid
empire the annual rainfall averages as
high as twelve inches, as good crops can
be raised without irrigation as with it.
This means that almost every acre of
the great plains between the Missouri
river and the Rocky mountains, and
most of the intermountain parks and
plateaus between the Rockies and the
Pacific, will produce as abundantly as
will the rich prairie lands of Iowa,
Missouri and Illinois, and much more
abundantly than the richest of the lands
in any of the older states along the At
lantic sea-bosrd; that there is enough
land now utilized, if at all, only for
grazing to make possible the trebling
and quadrupling of the present farming
population of the United States; that
outside of comparatively small areas in
western Texas and in portions of Utah,
Nevada, Arizona, Idaho, Wyoming,
South Dakota and southern California,
there is little arabic land in the great
west that may not be divided into 40
acre farms, each one of which will be
capable of supporting an average sized
family.
Probably there is no exaggeration in
the statement made by one writer that
the region between the foothills of the
Rocky mountains, bounded on the south
by the Rio Grande and on the north by
the Canadian border, is capable of pro-
ducing fruits, cereals, veetables and

Another Dry Farm Record.

than thirty bushels He had $50 bushels of
barley 100 of 600 of and 1880 of wheat Fifteen
of his wheat, the Gold Coin Welded $50
bushels fifty bushels per At the Farmers Day
exhibit here he awarded first prize his exhibit of
wheat, which included four varieties.
When average of thirty bushels be taken from
certainly demonstrates the advantages of
dry farming Mr.. Pease is not the only who has
secured large yields Several fields have averaged forty
bushels and few ortyve Some small fields like that of
Mr. Pease have given exceptionally heavy yieldsrom fifty
seventy five bushels. Land in crop the time
of careessy put yielded from fifteen bushels up
Some entire communities averaged about twenty-five
bushels which far ahead of the yields of the wheat grow
ing states of the Mississippi valley With approximately
half million of such land that being rapidly
tied there appears why American Falls should
not become the largest wheat growing in the
within the next few years.

To Build New Road to Arbon.

The $500 which was appropriated sew
eral months ago for a new road to
Arbon is to be expended at once. The
Arbon people have appointed CON-
mittee consisting of James Bailey,
julius Abter and Otto Anderson to as
sist in laying it out, and at their sug-
gestion j. l.. McKown has been added
from American Falls. Preliminary to
the beginning of work Wilson Barnard,
road overseer cf this district, went out
Tuesday morning with Engineer H. G..
Hawley, to survey route over the
foothills. A survey was made some
time ago, but it is hoped to find one
with reduced grades.
The proposed road crosses Bannoc..
creek some distance above Rocky ford
and climbs the foothills, entering the
valley near C. C. Robinson's place, east
OF town. 1t is thought that saving of
at least ten miles can be made by the
construction of the road.

WORKING ON ARBON ROAD
Wilson Barnard and Crew Began Work
Tuesday.

Wilson Barnard began work on the
new road to Arbon Tuesday morning.
Accompanied by H. G. Hawley, of the
engineering firm of Moench & Hawley,
Ben Mcqueen and Frank Allen and son,
he began at point about mile above
the Rocky Ford, at Big Joe's place on
the Bannock, and by an easy grade is
taking the road around the hill to the
fiat, and thence across country to Amer
lean Falls. Mr.. Hawley says the grade
at no place reaches five per cent, and
is steep for short distances only. The
grade, he believes, FROM the valley to
the top of the hill will average about
two per cent. From the top of the hill
into town the grade is easy. For prob
ably three miles it follows closely the
survey for the extension of the Ross
Fork canal recently made by the gov
ernment.
The road leaves the valley near a
rocky butte that rises in the valley
about mile above Big Joe's place. 1t
is understood the Bannock is crossed at
an old bridge above this point. The APP
preparation for the road (s30O) is not
sufficient to make it as good as it should
be, but Mr.. Hawley says heavy loads
can be drawn over it, and the time will
be shortened from Arbon to American
Falls from one to two hours. The road
will be open for travel within few
daYs.

CARAVAN OF ARBON WHEAT
Car Loaded at Michaud Switch Tues
day Morning.

Sixteen wagon loads of wheat, averag-
ing thirty-five sacks of about 12O pounds
each, left the Arbon settlement Mon
day morning for Michaud switch, be-
tween here and Pocatello, where a car
was in waiting, which was loaded for
Ogden. The wheat had been purchased
by Cache Valley firm, and more will
follow it in the near future. Those in
charge of the wagons were Joe Arbon,
Jim Payne, Chance Payne, Ed. Davis,
Eynon Davis, julie Horton, j. R. Bailey,
Willard Bailey, Farley Bailey, Lorin
Bailey, w. ]. Barnes, John Roderick,
Bert Evans, Victor Evans, Joseph
Evans and Adam Affleck. The sixteen
wagons contained about l, 100 bushels,
and it will require about forty such car
avans to market the wheat grown there
this year.
American Falls is the natural market
for Arbon, but owing to the failure of
the elevator machinery to arrive, this
years grain is handled with difficulty
Manager Bennion of the American Falls
Milling Company has almost every
available warehouse filled, and until the
elevator machinery arrives it is with
difficulty that the daily receipts of grain
can be handled
A new road is being built from Arbon
to American Falls, which will shorten
the distance ten or twelve miles, and
bring the settlement that much nearer
to market.
