ShOshOne Citizens Begin
Picking in Choice
Bargains
A Splendid Addition to the City
Purchased and will be Plated
and Placed on Market.

The most important real estate trans
action affecting Shoshone for 10, these
many moons, was pulled off last Mon
dav when the tract of land in the north
east part of town known as the Chin
ese garden, comprising from seventeen
to twenty five acres on the right bank
of the Little Wood river and owned by
Quong Sing, was purchased by Fred
Gooding, 0. J. Brennan and Frank T.
Disney. Possession is not to be OBJ
tanned till fall. This highly cultivated
tract of land lying close to the business
center of the city can easily be made
the most desirable location for residence
purposes that the city affords. And it
can hardly be doubted that these gen
tlemen will take such measures as may
be found necessary to render the tract
desirable as a resident proposition and
the effect of such measures will be to
increase the value of every lot and
residence in the immediate neighbor-
hood. The consideration was three thou
sand dollars. But come to think, what
delightful city park it could be made
into.
The recent ale of the Tom Fay busi-
ness property on Rail street to M. E.
Burkhill. mention of which was made
in last weeks issue of the Journal, was
the first real estate transaction of i'm
portance that has been made for some
time in Shoshone city property. The
business lot is twenty by one hundred
and twenty feet, lying just west of the
post office block, and the modest frame
building located thereon is of sufficient
size to accommodate the present business
of Mr.. Burkhill The consideration
was two thousand five hundred dollars
and Mr.. Fay, who owns all the vacant
lots between this property and the
Stockgrowers warehouse on the west,
would not sell one of them for less than
twenty hundred dollars, the price he
received for the property just sold. He
understands that Mr.. Burkhill has re-
ceived the best of the deal but he is
willing for the other fellow to have
chance. Mr.. Fay also owns choice
block of residence lots in the north
west part of town where he resides
and he knows that Shoshone is bound
to grow and that city property will ad-
vance in value and the unearned incre-
ment on his present holdings will be
ample reward for him. Mr.. Burkhill I
now has a splendid location for his
business and plenty of room on his lot
to put up large building whenever an
expanding business demands it. In |
this instance, as in many others, both /
parties to the deal were benefited by
the transaction.

Slick Brothers who have charge of
the construction work of the King Hill
irrigation project west of Bliss are now
running three construction camps, one
of which is on the Malad river. A crew
is now at work constructing a big ferry
boat with which to convey across Snake
river over one million feet of lumber
which will be used in building fumes
on the left bank of the river. The ferry
platform will be about sixteen by forty
four feet and it will be supported by
two large scows each of which will
project far beyond the sides of the
platform to give stability to the ferry
and obviate the danger of upsetting.

White Co. Get Project
Big Wood Project Finally Goes to the ].
G. White Company, World-F amous
Contractors---Wil Work at Once

While realizing that the following re-
port from Thursdays Statesman is not
quite all that the people want to know
regarding the Idaho Irrigation Com
pany, and it is not all the information
that the Journal could give by trespass-
ing on condolences, it is still of vast i'm
portance to everybody concerned. The
important facts are as here given:
By transfer Of the Big Wood river
project by the Idaho Irrigation com
pany to J. G. White & Co., which has
Just been consummated in New York
city, firm of worldwide reputation
takes an initial step in the development
of the Gem state This company viii
commence actual construction work be-
fore July1, and will cary out the ex-
tensive plan outlined by the Twin Falls
company when it recently proposed to
take over the irrigation scheme, in
creasing the tract to $50, 900 acres, by
means of an additional segregation Of
so, 900 aires for which the state land
board made application to the secretary
of the interior Wednesday.
About two weeks ago conference
was held at the Idanha hotel between
representatives of the Twin Falls Land
& Water company, the Idaho Irrigation
company, and J. G. White & Co. Fol-
lowing the conference it was announc-
ed that in all probability the Twin
Falls company would take over the
segregation, the terms to be agreed
upon by later conference to be held
in the eastern metropolis, but an under
standing was not reached.
J. G. White & Co. then took up ne
gotiations with the Idaho Irrigation com
pany and closed the deal, full details
of which have not been received, but
by which that company becomes the
proprietor rather than the contractor.
That J. G. White & Co. have taken
over the property is absolute assurance
that the project will go ahead as rapidly
as possible. This company is one of the
best known contracting and engineer
ing concerns in the world, having
offices in London, Paris, New York
and Montreal. At present it is en-
gagged in building the Philippine rail

way system which is dest ned to build
up the commercial interests Of the
islands, and back of the bonds of which
stands the guarantee Of the United
States. The transfer finds two com
panies interested in the promotion Of
the irrigated empire in southern Idaho.
L. NJ Fanum, chief Of construction,
and James A. Green, engineer in the
field, for J. G. White & Co., both Of
New York, were recent visitors to the
Wood river project, and they report, as
did State Engineer James Stephenson,
Jr., that there is an ample water sup
ply for the additional segregation.
n. NJ. Ruick as counsel for the part
les at interest appeared before the
state land board, all members of which
were present. The attorney presented
the charts and blue prints of the pro-
posed addition to the segregation, which
lies largely to the east of Shoshone on
both sides of the Oregon Short Line
tracks and partially along the railroad
between Gooding and the Lincoln county
capital. With the assurance that the
project has been so financed there was
no hesitancy in authorizing the applica-
ton to the secretary of the interior for
an additional $4,000 acres segrega-
tion of Carey act lands.
At a meeting held May the land
board granted an extension of time for
one year or until May, 1908, for the
completion of the canal system for the
lands entered at the Alberta opening,
amounting to about so, 900 acres pro-
viding actual construction work shall
be resumed by July l. A represent
ative of. G. White & Co. stated yester-
day work will not only be underway by
that time as affects the Alberta tract,
but it will be going on in earnest upon
the reservoir and canals for the entire
segregation, including the proposed ad-
ditional area. Mr.. White and a party
of eastern capitalists will visit Idaho
the first of next month. While here
they will see the North and South side
Twin Falls project as well as the Big
Wood river segregation, the former to
see what has been done, and the latter
to consider what it is proposed to do.

Salmon River Opening, June l

Without doubt the greatest land opening in the his
tory of the West will be that of the Salmon River pro-
ject, at Twin Falls, Monday. Already checks have
deposited to much than cover the entire tract of
$4,000 acres and the filing line is still as camorous
as ever. The prediction thatevery acre would be sold
within week bids fair to be literally fulfilled:
There is boom mining camp in the country that
can touch Twin Falls right for real life. Thous-
ands of people are Aocking in there for the opening
and sleeping cars have been sent in the only sub
stitute for sleeping in the streets.
The Salmon River Project is the third conspicuous
success of the affiliated Twin Falls companies. 1t is
another golden Opportunity spread before the peo-
ple kind of opportunity that will not come again.

EXPERIMENTSWITH
cotton SUCCESSFUL

Experiments In cotton growing
which are being conducted here nv
II. w. Jordan and DIR. Wilcox tend
TO show that an Unsurpassed article
can be produced in these Islands, Ex-
perimenting so far has been with 25
pants, but large quantity will be
put out Immediately, and It is hoped
that within six to eight months. def
mite figures on cotton production I'm
Hawaii can he given, showing that
1t has unrivaled advantages in this
line of production.
The experiments SD far have been
most satisfactory. The fibre is lon
ger and the production greater than
In corresponding kinds in the South
ern states. For instance, inland cot
ton there runs from three-quarters of
an inch to an inch IN the length of
the lber. The length of fiber pro-
duced here seems to he about one and
one-quarter inches to one and three
quarter inches. Ordinary sea island
cotton In the South runs from one
inch to two inches and, in exception
al cases, three inches in the length
OF fiber. But the sea island cotton
produces only about $50 pounds TO
the acre, while the inland cotton runs
about 500 pounds to the acre. Il is
believed from the experiments so far
conducted that the local cotton will
run much more than any known to
the acre. This great production, com
Dined with n very great length of
fiber considering that the cotton
used In the experiments is the in
land variety, indicates that n very
prolific line Of experiment has been
opened up.
Large samples of the cotton will
be shipped out by Mr.. Jordan to the
principal markets OF the world. >and
an opinion on its commercial value
asked for.
All OF this has been grown on this
Island, without irrigation.
