ATTRACTIVE PLACE
FOR HOMESEEKERS
Arbon Valley Offers Many Ad-
yantages
A Hundred Thousand Acres of Fertile
Land Awaiting Settlement Wheat
Yields Average Twenty-Five
Bushels Per Acre.

A section which has been but little
called to public notice, but which offers
great opportunities to homeseekers is
Arbon valley. 1t lies to the southeast
of American Falls, the lower end being
about twenty miles distant. ]. l..
McKown, who was there Monday, says
it surpasses anything he has ever seen in
southern Idaho for dry farming. The
valley is about ten by thirty miles, and
contains about 10000 acres of very
desirable land, There is a small settle
ment of about forty families near the
lower end Of the valley. Several new
families have located there this season
and within the past month a number of
new filings have been made. When the
advantages of the valley become known
settlement will be very rapid. The
valley lies at an altitude of about 5000
feet, and water-grade road can be
built into American Falls.
This year As, 600 bushels of wheat
were grown in the valley, most of
which will be marketed here. The av-
erage yield per acre, in the valley, was
about 25 bushels, although some
went much higher G. w. Jensen
raised AZ bushels of Turkey Red, John
Paine AZ bushels of Odessa, and num-
Der of others about the same. Oats
averaged about fifty bushels. These
are dry farm yields, and were given to
the Press by julius Abter, who operates
the threshing machine in that section.
Mr.. Abter is one of oldest settlers in
the valley. He went there seven years
ago, and values his ranch at $4, 000-
This season he cut 75 tons of wild hay
on his land, which finds ready market
at SIS per ton. He says three filings
were made last week. His brother,
Joe Abter, of Mcfarland, Kan, is one
of the newcomers, and his brother-in-
law, Ernest Pappie, also Of Mcfarland,
is coming.
Mr.. Abter says the best YIELDS are Sc
cured on the summer fallowed land,
and that the more such land is worked
the better the yield. Deep plowing
also adds materially to the yield. The
people are learning how to farm, and
yields are increasing every year.

IDAHO SAFELY
REPUBLICAN
Every State Officer Elected by
Good Majority.
Legislature Overwhelmingly Republican
on Joint Ballot Oneida County is
Republican But by Greatly
Reduced Majority.

Taft has carried Idaho by Is, 191 with
a few precincts missing. Roosevelt
carried the state four years ago by 49,
500. Brady has carried the state by
about 1880 as against II, 900 two years
ago for Gooding. Taft carried all but
five counties and Brady all but six. In
four of the six counties carried by the
Democrats their majorities ranged from
100 to ITS. The eliminotion of Dubois
gave the Democrats several thousand
votes, and the difference between the
vote for Taft and Brady represents the
loss the Republican party sustained by
the incorporation of the local option
plank in its platform.
The returns indicate the following
pluralities on president and governor:

IDAHO A FINE COUNTRY.
Iowa Man Presents Truth in a Forcible
Manner.

ITS fine country out there in the
farming district of Idaho" said N. w.
Gregg yesterday. "The soil is fine
rich black loan that will grow anything
and grow it better than any country
have ever seen. The apples and pota-
toes that are grown out there are truly
wonderful. brought home several of
the potatoes and yesterday my wife
cooked two for company of six at din
ner and there were potatoes left. The
apples are about twice as large as the
ones that we here in Iowo think are
large, and are just as good eating.
saw one man come into commission
house there and make sale for his en-
tire potato crop at 60 cents hundred
pounds. He raised 100 sacks on an acre
and each sack contained 200 pounds, so
you see it's no wonder people out there
get rich. It's one of the greatest farm
ing districts | have ever seen. The
only thing that is a wonder to me is
that so many people here in Iowa who
are plugging along trying to pay off a
mortgage on scrub farm do not go out
there and homestead some of that land. "

ONEIDA COUNTY.
Vote Was Close and Commissioners
Still in Doubt.

Oneida county was carried by the Re
publicans, but by greatly reduced ma
jorities on the state ticket. Result on
commissioners is in doubt. the chances
being in favor of Harding, Democrat,
over Jones, Republican. Richard N.
Hill, for county superintendent, is de-
feated. He was the only Democrat
elected during the past four years.
On the state ticket the Republican
majority is about $50 The county
ticket was cut in nearly every precinct,
due to local causes. In this precinct
determined fight was made on James H.
Brady. He was entitled to a practi-
cally unanimous vote, but carried the
precinct by only 81.
The race between w. H. Phibrick
and l.. L. Evans for representative was
close, and was the one which attracted
the most attention locally. The election
of Mr.. Hhilbrick is assured by majority
of about rs. Complete returns on the
vote cast for them have been received
from about half the precincts, and the
maJoritieS from all but Arbon. Phil
brick was SO votes ahead with Arbon
missing, and advices from there are to
the effect that the Republicans carried

Wapi Precinct.

The election in Wapi precinct passed
off quietly, about fifty votes having
been polled. The Republicans received
28 votes on the electoral ticket to IA
for the Democrats. Brady received 30
votes, a number of which were cast by
Democrats, but he lost number from
his own party. Sheean, Democratic
candidate for the legislature, received
30 votes to Is for his Republican op-
ponent. There was special work done
in his behalf, on the ground that he was
favorable to the creation of Power
county, while it was claimed his oppon-
ent was not. 1t is reported that an un-
derstanding was reached between the
workers, brought about by ia. Rueger,
that the Democrats were to vote for
Sweetser and Republicans for Sheean.
Sheean received 16 Republican votes,
but if the Democrats delivered 16 for
Sweetser fourteen Republicans voted
for Boyd. Miss Mclaughlin, for
county superintendent, ran ahead of her
ticket, receiving 10 votes to IA for the
other nominees.

Result at American Falls.

Election day passed off quietly in
American Falls, and little more than
"a per cent of the registered vote was
cast. The fight was strenuous, and the
best workers of both parties were on
the firing line from the opening to the
close of the polls. The Republican ma
tional ticket received a vote of two to
one over the Democratic, but a hard
fight was made on Mr.. Brady, who had
a majority of only SO. The majority of
w. H. Philbrick was 76. The Repub-
lican legislative ticket is elected in this
county by small majority. The Demo-
Gratis elect one commissioner and the
sheriff is in doubt.
Following is the vote of the two lead
ing parties in American Falls precinct.
The Socialists cast thirty votes and the
Prohibitionists five:

LOCATING The site
An Argument for a Good Place
for New Postoffice

In a few months the consulting ar
chitect for the Government will be in
Greeley, and the location OF our new
post office building will be fixed for
generations to come Fixed not only
for ourselves but for posterity 1t is,
therefore, desirable that the people of
Greeley interest themselves so that
this post office building be well To-
Gated, In convenient central location.
near the center OF population, and In
a place in the line OF future growth.
so that the site which is good now will
be good a few decades later when our
city has grown in population as it is
bound to do.
We believe the Unitarian Church
Corner, together with the adjoining
lots north, combines more attractive
features than any other corner in
Greeley This corner is So feet op
Ninth Street and with the Neill
thompson estate. and Scott lots adj
joining north is llj feet deep north
and south. II would seem best at
present to take the Unitarian Church
Corner and the adjoining Neil lot
| merely giving a lot 69xS5 feet which
is a6undantly large; then If the town
/ reaches population of 25 900 or moro
ne remaining Thompson estate and
scott lots can be purchased or con.
demned at any time for such increase
