GERMANS AND HOTTENTOTS
MEET ON KALAHAR| DESERT
Last Of Hostile Chiefs Suffers Defeat
at Hands Of Soldiers Who Pene-
trated Trackless Desert.

Berlin.-The government has pub.
lished a cabegram from South Africa,
reporting a battle between the Ger
man expeditionary forces and a body
of Hottentots in the Kalahari desert.
The German troops had been sent
out to find Simon Kroppers, the last
of the Hottentot chiefs, who is still
hostile. The engagement was q very
severe one. The enemy lost fifty
eight killed. Seven men and severaf
women were captured. The German
losses also were heavy. Captain Won
Erckert, commander Of the expedi-
tionary forces; Lieutenant EbinGer'
and twelve privates being killed and
seventeen wounded, of whom nine
were seriously hurt. The German
force left Cochas on March $50
strong, with four machine guns and
700 camels. They made forced
marches into the waterless desert for
four days before stopping long
enough to cook fresh supply OF
food. The only water found was
dirty pool, which was insufficient to
uuench the thirst of the camels. Cap
tain Erckert finally located the Hot
tentot camp on March Is. He began
the attack next morning at daybreak
and soon there was fierce fighting all
along the line The German COM
mander fell in the first onslaught and
the second officer in command took
charge of the expeditionary forces,
which drove the Hottentots from one
position to another, until finally they
| broke and fled in all directions.
Chief Kropper's power has been
badly weakened by this defeat, but 1t
will be necessary for the Germans to
continue vigiant watch over the
approaches to the desert.

LAND Still ANOTHER RECRUIT
Attraction Of Twin Falls Makes George Baird
Booster.

George A. Baird of Chicago, presi-
dent of the Honorine Mining and Mill
Ing company, was in SaltLake for a few
hours Thursday morning, enroute to
his Eastern headquarters after spend
ing several pleasant weeks in southern
California. Enroute from the coast.
Mr. Baird stopped over in Twin Falls,
with whose progress to prosperity he
has had great deal to do. Regarding
Twin Falls, he said;
SAT Twin Falls you are going to see
soon the greatest farming community
in the west, the greatest irrigated sec
tion IN the world. The new agricultur-
al district is growing remarkably, we
all have been fooled by the unparalleled
progress there. Before 1909 we will
have six thousand inhabitants in the
city of Twin Falls. and within fifteen
years the city will be the largest in
all Idaho.
The community is growing rapidly,
and the very best pc ople of the land are
coming there to settle Last week a
train load cf visitors who numbered
300 cana In and purchased lands and
determined to locate there. While |
was at Twin Falls four lots back of one
of the large hotels sold for 500 900 cash
and Year or two ago you could have
purchased them far $1,000 each. A wear
ago | thought some land | had there
was selling pretty high at sl25 an acre
and sold one tract. You could not
buy it today for $3.50 per acre, while
land far beyond it that usually would
be considered worth less, is worth today
something over $500 an acre.
1.-The people are happy, progressive
and prosperous. Money is plentiful
There are three banks there now, and
one of them during the past two weeks
has had its deposits increased by a
round 100000. The city is building a
$50 900 school building; for the school
facilities were hardly calculated at first
| to handle such demands as new are be-
| ing made on them. The children ride
to school in large wagons, and they are
taken home by the same means Twin
Falls has two good newspapers, it has
an ideal climate and every possible ad-
vantage TO make it the largest and most
productive agricultural center in the
west. And it is not too late right now
for great many more to 90 there and en-.
ter land. The west is the country, and
rything about Twin Falls is typical.
