TAG DAY PROVED
GREAT SUCCESS
Over $4OO Taken in by
Sellers,
Tag Day was a success.

Over $400 was reported last night,
with more still coming in.
The ladies of the Hospital Associa-
ton, who had charge of the occasion
expressed themselves last night as
well pleased with the results. The
only expense was that of printing and
this was partly offset by advertising,
so that Sweet Charity will receive
nearly the full amount of the collec-
tiOnS.
From early in the morning until
o'clock in the evening the workers
were on the streets. Within an hour
after the fun began everybody in
sight had been tagged one or more
times, but the tags were no protec-
ton. To be decorated with number
of these bits of cardboard only indi-
Gated that the wearer was a generous
individual, which encouraged others
to go after him.
One man claimed to have paid the
penalty by buying forty-three tags.
This was the limit so far as ascer~
tanned.
Young matrOns, young ladies and
little girls had the tickets for sale,
and each class did most creditable
work. 1t was hard to tell which
were the most irresistible. Between
them they cleared up the bulk of the
loose cash outside the bank vaults.

CITY ICE PLANT
SOLD TUESDAY
Lively Bidding Promised at
Auction of Factory.

Prospects for second ice factory
opening soon are good On Tuesday
the plant of the City Ice Company
will be sold at auction and the probab-
ilities are that the bidding will be
lively, as number of individuals and
firms have expressed their intention
of being on hand The plant is in
excellent shape and can be started in
a few days if desired.
The plant has a daily capacity of
fifteen tons and last season was we'll
supplied with orders. The demand for
ice this summer will be perhaps in
excess of that last season, making it
possible for the two factories to
keep busy all the time

OF the fruit wherever the vines have
been planted is everything that one
could desire.
Again, in the matter of peach
growing is this valley first and fore
most, as has been demonstrated at
Garnet and other points along the
river. The Incompatible peach is
grown over a wide area of the United
States. In limited districts of New
York and New England, in Dele
ware, Michigan, Ohio and the central
West immense quantities are grown.
All the Southern states grow peaches.
Solid trainloads move north every
summer day. And yet there is room
in the markets of the East for some
hundreds of car loads of California
peaches, which are hauled some three
thousand miles to meet the want Of
the fruit trade which the great over
whelming Eastern supply does not
satisfy.
Why? California peaches do not
rot easily. Southern and Eastern
peaches do. California peaches are
grown in their hot, dry, cloudless
summer air. That air. like the air of
Southern Idaho, has no germs of rot
forever present in it ready to attack
every weak spot in any peach. The
moist summer air of the Eastern and
the Southern states is everywhere and
always ladened with these microscopic
germs. Hence tho peach grown in
the hot, dry climate of the west will
go to New York.-a six or seven days
journey-and get to that worlds
market in condition to sell, and pay
the shipper a profit.
The valleys along the Snake river
grow better peaches than are ever
grown in the rainy states. Medbury
is one of those that are particularly
favored in the matter of soil, climate
and protection from those elements
which make peach growing an uncer-
tainty elsewhere. With transconti
mental railroad running through it,
the problem of transportation is set
tied. 1t is thousand miles nearer
the markets of the east than is Cali
fornia and two days journey nearer
than are those peach producing ocal-
tiles in Oregon and Washington.
The future of Medbury valley as
place for fruit growing is assured
AS sources of water for irrigation it
has not only the King Hill Irrigation
q Power company's ditch which is
soon to be built into the valley, but an
artesian basin is known to exist at
comparatively shallow depth, while
much of the land may be covered by
the Turner pumping plant which is
already installed.

unknown. Sam Lawrence produced
apples during the present season that
attracted the attention of fruit grow
ers at the Boise fair and many were
unable to believe they came from the
Grand View locality.
Mr.. Massey is very enthusiastic
over his locality and he has every
reason to be. The irrigation system
Is entirely complete and furnishing all
the water the ranchers can use. The
advantages for fruit raising is at
trasting the attention of fruit men
from other districts who are coming
in sand buying up orchard tracts.
A railroad is headed that way and
there is every prospect of transporta-
ttvn facilities within few years.

SURVEYORS GO
TO GRAND VIEW
Understood They VIII Sur
yey Line Through for Union
Pacific Railway

A large crew of men with four
large covered wagons, several horses
and well equipped for the winters ex-
posures sspassed through the city
bound for the Grand View country.
1t Is generally understood they were
surveying crew sent out by the
Union Pacific line to continue the sur
vey along the river into Oregon.
This road will be continuation of the
Twin Falls branch and will follow
the river level through the Bruneau
and Grand View countries. 1t is ex-
pected, by those who are on the in
side, that this railroad will be in op-
eration within three years. Certain
it Is that the work will be pushed
with all possible haste for its compile
tion. The surveying and engineering
parties have consisted of large num-
bers of men with every facility for
pushing the work and there is no
question but the railroad will be put
through at once.
Iaiss will assist very materially in
opening up the finest agricultural
tracts in the Northwest. All this land
along the Snake River, with any
chance for water, is very valuable
and is sure to be the finest fruit pro-
ducing country in this section. The
soil is loamy and very rich and the
lands usually well protected by rim
rock and hills bordering the river. The
elevation is from 1000 to 1000 feet
lower than the table lands and the air
current following the course of the
river are very valuable in preventing
frost from destroying early fruit.
! There has been general movement
toward river lands the past two or
three years and with the advent of ir-
rigation companies and transporta-
tion, very valuable and heavy pro-
ducing farming lands will be opened
to the resources of the state.
