due to old age. Thus another
1 member of the fast thinning ranks
] of the early pioneers of Idaho has
passed away. Uncle Jonathan
lSmith, as he was familiarly
known, came to Idaho in 1863
from Missouri, settling first in
Beise valley, A year later he
moved to Enett and in partnership
with Nathaniel Martin, father of
the late Mat Martin, built the
first hotel on the Emmett townsite.
He was born in Ohio August 20.
1877. His wife died six years ago
To them was born one daughter,
the late Mrs. Brennard of Ontario
His only living relatives are six
grandchildren. Deceased was a
man of unquestloned integrity and
honesty; in his dealings with his
fellowmen he was generous and
upright. He was known and
loved throughout southwestern
Idaho and his death will bring a
pang ofregret to many whom he had
befriended. The funeral was held
from the residence of W. R. Hall
and was in charge of Butte lodge
of Masons. of which he was a
charter member, and large con
course followed his remains to
their last resting place in Riverside
Cemetery.

LAND SALES REACH THE
100000 MARK
Colorado and Local People
are the Princi-
pal Buyers.

The record for land sales in th'
Emett fruit belt was knocked t.
smithereens this week, when the
total sales hit right close to the
$l00,000 mark. The actual fig
ures are S92, 500. with the back
counties to hear from. AS usual,
Colorado fruit growers were the
heaviest purchasers, and the price
paid per acre shows their unlimit-
ed faith In the future of this great
valley and its especial adapability
to fruit culture. The largest indi-
vidual investor is L. A. Trow-
bridge of Chicago, whose purchas-
es amount to $4,000. Local buy
ers got into the game also and ex-
pended about $50. 900.
The record for price per acre for
bench land was also broken, when
v. T. Craig paid 5000 per acre for
20 acres. This is a choice tract,
however, and is only two miles
from town. There is, however,
steady increase all along the line
and it is freely predi-ted that the
$500 mark will Re reached before
next fall. 1t is significant fact
that the Colorado people make
this assertion. They say the land
is worth it and as proof of their
claims point to Palisade where
land that is in no respect better,
if equal, to this. has climbed in
six years from $65 to $4,000 per
acre, and is found to be profitable
at that figure.
Many owners of bench land are
beginning to cut up their hold
ings into 10-aere tracts, the pur-
chasers TO be required to improve
the land. W. M. Wayman is lay
ing off 100 acres in this manner
and will offer it at 1900 per acre.
M. E. Lewis is also doing the
same thing. His land, however,
is closer to town by four miles
than Wayman aud will be started
at $3.50.

Industrial Institute and referred TO a
statement credited to Mr.. Carnegie.

plan ~hat he said about the oblitefa-
tlon of the lines between the white
and the black. but got TO talking
about something else and sat down

1t was published in these coiumns, II

more to those who heard the speech.

Csrnegie's speech in short hand. yes

the city, the following quotation from
the speech:
1T Is impossible for the black race
to be happy and the white unhappy.
Ycu are all In the same boat and II is
through cooperation one with the
other under the wise guidance OF the
men who are jaboring for the tene-
fit Of the blacks that We will succeed
In celebrating AS completely the line
between The white and black as We
have between the blue and the gray.
This day Is not so far distant as
you would think. | do not mean That
the blacks will not remain blacks
and the whites whjtes I do net mean
that they will not mutually accommo-
date differences 10 each other, but

for themselves. put because there can

the races. but simple ne;ghcorn-
ness as most OF the speakers mad al
