Arton Tranky died last Sunday at the
home of his brother-in-law, Mr. Cakes,
five miles south of town and was
buried Tuesday, Rev. C. A. Varnum

mercial Club went down to Gooding,
Wednesday, to meet and pilot the Boise
Commercial Club who are coming on

mercial opportunities of the North
Side.
East jerome, as the cluster of build
ings of the Settlers Reclaiming and
Operating Co., might very properly be
called, makes quite a showing just east
of town. There are probably dozen
buildings of different kinds. This com
pany which has over 5000 acres of land
to improve is doing big business these
days.
Extensive preparations have been
made for the official opening of the
water gates On Thursday, April 1st, at
the diversion dam of B4 Lateral, one
half mile northwest of jerome. Gov.
Brady, Ex-Gov. Gooding, Hon. w. s.
Kunn and other celebrities are expect
ed. While this will be the official open
ing precisely at the time promised by
the company two and one-half years ago,
the actual fact is that water from Snake
river has been running through B Coulee,
two miles north of town, for week, it |
having been turned on for the first |
time March 24th To those who had |
lived for weary months looking out upon
The dreary sage brush the sight of the

New Law Firm for shOshone

The announcement is made this week
that H. A. Thomas and H. d. Heist will
associate themselves together in the
practice of law in Shoshone, and that
when Mr. Heist returns to the city in a
week or two, he viii enter the Thomas
Office and engage in the active practice
of law. Messrs. Thomas and Heist are
graduates of the same law school and
it is but natural that they should join
forces in the actual business of legal
practice.

Utah, and many of them now regret
their sales. The progressive sheep
owners of the state of Idaho largely
took the lead in the establishment of
this company, and the largest and
best clips of that state will come to the
warehouse. Carbon county, Wyo., is
the banner wool county in the company,
nearly every grower in that county
having subscribed. Fully 100000
pounds will come from that county
alone to Chicago, not single share
holder having yet been induced to sell
his clip. The growers in Sweetwater
county, Wyo., are nearly all interested.
Competent men will be appointed in
each state to take charge of the ship
ping of the clips A circular will be issu-
ed to every shareholder within the next
two weeks, setting forth who these
men will be and other information re-
garding the shipment of wool. Five
cents per pound may be drawn by each
grower against his bill of lading as
soon os the wool is loaded, and it will
not be necessary to leave the wool IN
the rain as has been the practice here
tofore, waiting for some chance buyer
to make an offer on the clip. As soon
as the wool is received in Chicago
further substantial advance will
be made the grower. In fact
the banks of Chicago stand reape
as they have from the first, to advance
to the growers such percentage of
the value of the clips as the western
directors may think it prudent to ask.
The Association of Commerce of
Chicago, which is the strongest organi-
cation of its kind in the world, has
pledged its support to this movement.
The best business men of the country
men who know the laws governing the
of great products, do not
question the success Of this project.
Already mills are being planned in the
vicinity of Chicago, and their erection
and operation will mean saving in
fl eight as most of the wool is now
shipped to the Atlantic seaboard and
then nearly all the Ssth is shipped

growers organization conceived the
idea of a great central warehouse,
naturally they looked for good man
to carry the enterprise to successful
conclusion. Several years past while
president of the idaho State Wool
growers Association, Mr.. Gooding
carried on fight against the salt trust
that was holding the sheepmen of the
western states up and robbing them by
unjust prices. In this fight he was en-
tirely successful and brought the salt
trust to time, saving the sheepmen Of
this state thousands of dollars annually.
Knowing this record the National or
ganization selected Mr.. Gooding to
head this great work. and the results
show the wisdom of the choice.

considerable value to Indiana and gen

Indiana in 1907 from seed furnished
through the experiment station of Col
crado was of very fine quality and
markedly resistant to the rust fungus,
but it was fully two weeks later in
ripening than the Indiana crop. Its ex-
ira large size under Indiana condi

With a little care and attention the
grower can save better seed than he
can buy. The difficulty at present is
the lack of system and idea1 IN seed
saving. Too often it is done at the
close of the season. For an early crop,
on the contrary, selection for seed
should continually be made from the
earliest maturing melons; nor should
selection of seed be made from the
packing shed. This is exactly analo-
gous to the selection of seed from the
crib. and ignores entirely the character
of the plant which should be vigorous
and prolific, and in selecting seed, its
character can not DrOHldDly De over

Of the consumer that the final proof

With the Small Farmer
Improved Canteloupes

The caataloupe or musk melon is
fast becoming a favorite fruit among
the masses. 1t is now served in all no.
tells and restaurants in season and is
very widely used on the tables Of pri-
vate households. Many people eat
them in season for every meal of the
day, hence the demand is large and there
is little danger of an oversupply Of
really good fruit. The season at
till very lat in the fail.
Since the Improvement of the canta
loupe through the excellent strains
that have been developed in irrigated
regions of the vicinity of Rocky Ford
Colo. and people in general have
learned the taste of the good product,
there has been a greater demand than
ever for them. The Melted Gem, as
developed at Rocky Ford is more widely
known than nay other sort among the
melons Of that region are planted all
over the United States Outside of this
irrigated region in Colorado the Melted
Gem melon has not the peculiar rich
flavor, yet by using seed from melons
grown at that place superior results

central and eastern states BY careful
seed selection for the ideal type and
advanced methods of cultivation and
marketing a product can be produced
that has attractivenes flavor and
shipping qualities equal to that grown
in any part of the country.
The ideal type Of Melted Gem for
Indiana growers. for instance. is based
partly upon market requirements and
demands and partly upon the expert
Cnce Of Colorado growers in producing
the Rocky Ford Gem. The following
points characterize the ideal type:
Size-Slightly less than five inches
