ties. For five years the road lay in
the hands of receivers. A syndicate
headed by Morgan had figured on the
property, but had given it up as
worthless. Congress was at loss
what to do with the road.
N Finally the house of Kuhn, Loeb
& Co., representing mixed syndi-
cate. offered the government $685.
100000 in cash; $27,000,00 went
to settle with the holders of the first
mortgage bonds. The offer was ac-
ccnted and at midnight on the last
day of January, the road was turn
ed over to the mixed syndicate, and
the real railroad history of e. H.
Hartman began. At that time Har-
riman was considerably the least not
able member of the syndicate, which
included two members of the Van
derbilt coterie, two of the Goulds,
two of the Boston crowd that had
dropped millions into the old Union
Pacific and several independent cap
italists.

TILE HUDSON-FULTON FETE.

New York City has withstood all
temptations to give itself a great
worlds fair, such as most of the larg-
er American cities have had in turn,
but it takes kindly to great water
pageants, and proposes to give itself
one of the greatest ever witnessed.
Its magnificent harbor and stately riv-
er especially invite water displays.
The city has had experience in getting
them up successfully, and next Sat
urday it is expected that the greatest
marine fleet ever assembled in any
harbor will, in grand parade twenty
miles In length, inaugurated the ter
centenary celebration Of Henry Hud-
sonas discovery and exploration of the
beautiful river which bears his name.
Coupled with the glories of the
Half Moons voyage in September and
October. 1909, is the triumphant yoy-
age of the Clermont. 1t is the Hud-
son-Fulton celebration honoring at
one and the same time the discovery
of the river and its subsection to
steam navigation. 1t is a local cele-
bration in which all the country will
join sympathetically, and at the same
time 1t will be represented by the
flood of visitors which threatens to
overtax even New York's provisions
for strangers.
The wealth and enterprise Of the
great metropolis will undoubtedly
make the proposed two weeks cele-
bration a great spectacular success,
worthy of the greatest American city
and not unworthy the epochal
achievements which this celebration
Is designed to commemorate.

TO PRESERVE AN OLD RELIC AT

As the result OF the recent visit Of
John HALEY, curator of the State
Historical society to Meadows, the
state will eventually obtain possess
sion Of valuable historic relic in
the shape Of log cabin, the building
which the first two republican conven-
tions of Idaho territory were held.
The cabin was built in 1862 by
Packer John" says the Boise

The Women's club Of Meadows had

WHY NOT?

There is food for reflection in a
story from Wenatchee, Wash. 1t is
as follows:
l.. W. Smith lives on a six acre
fruit tract adjoining this city, four
acres of which are in fine bearing or
chard. George Smith, brother, has
several hundred acres of wheat land
in Douglas county on Badger noun
tain, a few miles east Of Wenatchee.
They contest each year to see which
receives the largest returns for the
seasons labor.
Two years ago the farmer had
zoo acres of wheat yet the fruit grow.
er received the most money for his
crop. Last year the wheat raiser had
zoo acres of wheat and still the fruit
crop brought the biggest price. This
year the wheat grower has 500 acre
OF land in wheat with big crop III
sight and feels cofRdent that he will
win. W. &A#
The fruit grower one acre IN
apples which will net IN 0, TnS.
trees are nine years old D1f
the Wlnesap variety. Last esf he
harvested 1896 worth of apnles and
tne year before he received $4,000 for
his crop" @000o ~
II Is worth while for southern
idano people to ponder over this story
10 TINS region an immense acreage is
aevoted to wheat raising. Yet by
the proper use of the waters az the
snake, Lost River, Wood river, Port
neuI, and tributary streams, many
thousands OF acres may be converted
INTO alfalfa fields, orchards and gar
dens. Why not improve the oppor-
tunities that are open to this dis
trict FIX.
