AS the time draws nearer for the
opening Of the King Hill tract of Carey
Act land, at King Hill, the interest
grows steadily, until it can be predicted
that practically every acre Of the land
win be sold within few days or weeks
at the most.
1t is not large tract of land-only
about 1000 acres il all--but its posi-
tion and quality entities it to rank with
the very best there is anywhere in the
west. 1t lies on the south side of the
Snake River, mostly in Owyhee county,
and is protected by the great rock hills
that tower over it hundreds of feet in
to the sky The altitude is the lowest
of any lands opened under the Cary
Act, being from $500 to 27OO feet above
the sea level. This gives it a wide
range of crop possibilities, in that it
will be warm enough for the tenderest
of the temperate zone fruits that win
not flourish on the uplands, while it is
cool enough to raise the great staple
crops, like apples and cherries, that
need some cool weather to mature
them and to give them the best of
keeping qualities.
In the last Journal, some mention
was made of the work now being done
on the project. Several hundred men
are now engaged on the construction
work, putting everything in readiness
for the turning on Of the water by the
opening day, October 18th. Water is
to be delivered through the tract, by
the date of the sale, establishing a new
record in Carey Act projects in Idaho,
in that the water is to be ready for
immediate use. 1t will be possible for
the buyer to prove up on his land next
spring, and to get full crop within
eight months of the time of purchase
Tire great dam on the Malad river,
which retains and diverts the water of |
the Malad to be used for the irrigation
and power project, is practically finish
ed. 1t is of solid concrete, with base /
of nearly 300 feet, and is p feet high
1t is one of the fine structures of the /
kind in the west, and while no engineer
ing work can be said to be absolutely |
proof against accident, there is moth
ing left. undone that could insure its
permanency. 1t should stand thous-

has been withdrawn from local eircula-
tion for practically a year, this pay
ment win bring lot Of local prosper
ity that is very acceptable.
There is as yet no announcement to
make regarding the opening of the so,
900 acres east Of Shoshone, in the new
segregation allowed last May. This will
be one of the most desirable tracts ever
opened in south Idaho, as the land is of
the very best quality, and contiguous to
the railroad
Only about one-fourth of the two
original segregations, at Alberta and
Gooding, are as yet filed on, there be-
ing close to $4,000 acres yet open for
settlement, besides the 1000 acres yet
to be opened here at Shoshone. Much
of this land, especially that northwest
of Shoshone and north of Gooding, is Of
the best under the segregation, though
a little farther from town than the first
filings. 1t is intended to hold a second
opening OF this land about the l5tn
of October During the suspension of
the old company it was withdrawn
from entry; it viii be re-opened next
month. and there should be a great
rush at that time.
The town of Alberta, which name is
TO be changed to Richfeid the first Of
October, is a buster place right now
than ever before in its history, The
patient people who have been waiting
there for almost year for something
to happen, are now burning up the mail
in their efforts to supply the demand
for lumber hardware, groceries and all
the things needed for live, working
community. Prosperity and progress
is in the air wherever the new Idaho Ir-
rigation company appears.

New Company VIII Pay All Old Bills
Reopen Lands for Entry in October
Deliver Water NextSprng


Water win be delivered on about 80, ?
0oo acres of the Idaho Irrigation Com
pany lands, the spring of 1909 accord
ing to the company engineers
This land which is to be opened for
cultivation comprises the 40 600 acres
of the Alberta segregation, and about
10. 900 acres east and south of Gooding.
The Alberta tract will be watered by
the big ditch which was built last fall
for the first y miles from the diversion
dam. It will be but comparatively
small job to complete this ditch over to
the town of Alberta, and to cover this
tract The water for the Gooding south
side will be brought across to the Lit
tie Wood River through the Alberta
canal or the Big Cottonwood slough,
and then taken down the Little Wood
channel almost to Gooding, where it is
to be diverted to the land.
All this land is to have flood water
next year, and enough reservoir water
to assure crop. While the big stor-
age reservoir viii not be completed for
next year, so as to water the big main
tract north of Shoshone and Gooding,
it is expected that it can lie brought up
high enough to insure water for the
Gooding and Alberta tracts. The main
body of land is to receive water in 1910.
It will interest a large number of peo-
pie to know that the new company is
preparing to pay off all the indebted

5000 POUNDS OF HONEY.
ShOshOne ApiariSt Raises A Good
Crop This Year.

Frank GwiH, the well known apiarist
of Shoshone. will this year harvest
crop of about 5000 pounds Of as fine
honey as one could wish-pure white
alfalfa honey that melts in your mouth,
and calls for more until more is sup
piled
This honey is the product Of about
125 stands Of 'bees; but not nearly all
the stands are productive, there being
always a certain proportion that make
no surplus honey The crop is lighter
than usual, being cut especially short
by the early frost that killed the second
alfalfa bloom Practically all the sur
plus honey is taken from the alfalfa,
and any thing that shortens the bloom

crop away down. Two years, age the
yield was twice what it win be this
year, owing to the better conditions
for alfalfa blooming
Contrary to what is currently sup
posed. there is not large amount of
honey made from the fruit blossoms

RECEPTION TO MRS. cox.
Talented Singer Finds Many Friends
in ShOShOne.

One of the most delightful society
affairs Of the year was the eight course
luncheon given by Miss McFall at the
MeFall House Wednesday afternoon in
honor of Mrs James Henry Cox, the
talented soloist. The color scheme was
carried out in pink and white asters.
sweet peas and ropes of smilax in pro-

cards were printed in gold and tied
with pink ribbon.
After the luncheon the ladies were
given an opportunity to show their
artistic ability, and each in turn was
asked to draw picture to represent
the title of song furnished by the
hostess. Time was limited to three
minutes. A committee Of travelling
men awarded the prize TO Mrs. Barton
her subject being Just Because She
Made dem Googoo Eyes. Miss Clark
received the consolation on Hello My
Baby
Mrs. Cox sang, to the delight Of the
ladies. ''Meine Ruhist Hin, from
Faust. = and "Asthore" by Bingham.
The ladies were pleased with this oppor-
tunitv to meet Mrs. Cox in a socialway,
and all agreed that Miss McFall is
painstaking and charming hostess. It
might be Of interest to note that Miss
McFall and Mrs. Brown were class
mates Of Mrs. Cox at st. Margaret's,
and that at one time she was a pupil Of /
Mrs. Barton at Moscow.

SAGE BRUSH TONIC SELLING.
Bald Headed People Eager to Buy
the Dandruff Killer.

F. Z. Wilmington returned yester-
day from trip to Boise and other
cities in western Idaho and eastern
Washington whittier he had gone in the
interests of the Sage Brush Tonic Co.,
and every day of his absence some
cheering intelligence was waited back

orders for the company's goods.
In view of the rush of orders coming
in just at the beginning Of the selling
campaign it is safe to predict that the

King Hill Fruit Lands
Golden Opportunity Coming for the Inves-
tor and Farmer Who Seeks High
Priced Orchard Possibilities

( it viii have drop Of about 40 feet.
The irrigation project will require about
300 cubic feet per second, leaving twice
that much to operate the power plant,
under a head Of 40 feet The water
is carried in the one fume and canal to
the crest of the Snake river slope, and
there divides, the irrigation water be-
ing syphoned across the Snake river,
while the water for the power line is
diverted into a separate pipe down to
the power house. The electric power
to be developed will be available all
through the tract, and will also be on
the market all through southern Idaho.
But after all, it is the quality of the
land. and the climate, and the water
supply, that is the most interesting
The climate is the equal of anything in
the whole West, not excluding the ia
nous Rogue River or Hood River val
leys in Oregon. The soil is the superior
of anything in even these localities
where lands run up to $1,000 or even
$4,000 an acre. 1t is deep and fertile
beyond belief. 1t is great word, the
word 'inexhaus tible, but nowhere can
this be so appropriately used as on this
tract of land. At one time, the Snake
river valley was much wider, and per-
haps parts of it were deeper, than at
present. This has been filled
up by the ceaseless wash of ages, the
hills yielding their richness which has
been collected in the wide, deep valley.
There is no lava on the tract; it is free
of anything but wash gravel, where
gold to the value of millions of dollars .
lies hidden. There is perhaps not
foot of the land that does not contain /
some placer gold; fine, and hard to get, .
perhaps, but still ever present. But
all the gold that ever came out of soil,
and that is left, would not equal the
value of the fertile soil which. can be
made to produce so marvellously.
A ten-acre tract of this land, planted
to orchard, and carefully tended, would
produce as much as the average bank
will pay in dividends in the course of a
year. A ten acre farm would be large
enough for almost any family to han
de and do it right. The land. how
ever, is not to be sold in units that
small, the smallest unit being the 40
acres established by the state land
board Any claimant can take up 160
acres.

pany lands can be addressed to the

Co.. or the Idaho Investment Co, at Il.

KENTUCKY SUBMITS ITS BRIEF
State Opposes Co-educatiOn of the
Whites and Blacks.
Papers In Interesting Case Are Re-
ceived by Supreme Court,
which VIII Decide 1t.

The clerk Of the Supreme Court OF the
United States yesterday received from
Attorney General Breathitt, Of Kentucky.
and his counsel. N B. Hays. Thomas Nc
Gregor and Charles H Morris. their brief
in behalf OF the State in the case Of Berea
College VS.. The Commonwealth of Ken
lucky. which will be argued before the
Supreme Court within few weeks. The
case is brought to the Supreme Court on
the question Of the constitutionality Of
the act Of the Kentucky legislature four
years ago, prohibiting whites and negroes
from attending the same school.
Judge Breathitt declares in his brief
that the State statute does not encroach
on the civil rights Of either race. nor does
il discriminate against the civil rights of
either. This statute" says the attorney
general Of Kentucky, was intended to
prevent these two streams OF life from
flowing into a common channel: to pre-
serve race identity, and to maintain the
purity OF blood. 1t is the public policy of
Kentucky to require the equal but sepa-
rate education of the two races. that,
while guaranteed equal civil rights, 1t is
the policy Of the State of Kentucky TO
maintain a separate social status.
How is the State to maintain a sepa-
rate social status? If the young white
and colored children are permitted TO go
voluntarily to school together; to sit to-
gether; 10 eat together; TO recite together;
to study together; 10 sleep together; to as
sociate together, and to become the guests
Of each other, may we ask what more is
needed to constitute social equality? But
let social equality be once established,
and mutual attachment will follow as
surely as the day does the night; first
among the weaker members of each race
and finally among all. resulting in the
destruction or blotting out OF the indivi,-
uality and identity OF each race -
