Choice Fruit Lands on the Snake
River to be Thrown Open to Devel-
opment Under Provisions of Carey
Act

Word was received last week that
the Carey Act segregation for Med
bury had been allowed, and the date
for the opening of the lands has been
set for November / 9Th.
Work was started on the system
some weeks ago and it is the inten-
ton of the company to deliver water
to the settlers next year, possibly in
time for the opening of the irrigation
season.
r. w. Simpkins, the man who has
devoted his undivided time to this
section for the past year and half,
regards the success of the valley be-
yond speculation. He has long been
enthusiastic over the possibilities OF
the valley as fruit producer, and
now that the water is assured under
the best and safest water contract
in existance, he feels that his eff.
forts have been well repaid.
While in the city Wednesday after
noon he stated that vigorous cam
paign would be carried on prior t'
the opening. Thousands OF names

In the case of the tropics, a surface
wind will set in toward the heated
tropical zone from both sides, and, unit
ing, will ascend, and then, separating,
flow as upper currents in opposite di-
rections. Hence. a surface current will
flow from the higher latitudes toward
the equator, and an upper current
toward the poles. If. then, the earth
We're at rest, north wind would pre-
vail in the north half of the globe and
south wind in the southern half. But
these directions are modified by the
rotation of the earth on its axis from
west to east In virtue of this rotation
objects of the earth's surface at the
equator are carried toward the east
at the rate of II miles a minute. But
as we recede from the equator this We
locity is continually diminished; at lat
itude 60 degrees it is only 1z miles a
minute, or half of the velocity at the
equator; and at the poles it Is nothing.
A wind, therefore, blowing along the
earth's surface to the equator is con-
stantly arriving at places which have a
greater velocity than itself. Hence,
the wind will lag behind-that is, will
come up against places toward which
1T blows. e., will become an east
wind. Since, then, the wind north of
two forces-one drawing it south, the
other drawing it west-it will. by the
law of the opposition of forces, flow in
an intermediate direction, that is. from
northeast to southwest Similarly in
south tropic, the wind will blow from
southeast to northwest. All observa-
tions confirm this reasoning. From the
great service that these winds render
navigation they have been called the
trade winds. 1t is only in the Pacific
and Atlantic oceans that the trade
winds have their full scope.
