work of building populous commun-
tiles out of raw territory will not fail
to observe that Medbury valley offers
much to the resolute and farseeing in
weston. This is the class of men that
will assist in developing the valley
and building the town.
The whole community should pull
together to get aonother artesian we'll
put down. There is an offer of $500
by one party, the balance of cost to
be shared equally by nine or ten
others. This would be an exhibition
we'll that would convince land seekers
this was the place TO stop.
Attorney B. F. Griffith was down
from Mountain Home last week, and
secured fine tract of fruit land on
which to file. He was guided in his
selection by j. F. Littooy, the horti-
culturist who came from Wenatchee
some time ago to make Elmore county
his field of opertions. Mr.. Littooy
was for six years horticultural inspec-
tor for Snohomish county, Wash, and
also consulting horticul turist for var
ious irrigation projects in that state
Moving later to Wenatchee, the pre-
mier fruit growing section of Wash
ington, he was elected president of the
Chelan county horticultural associa-
ton, which he re-organized. under the
auxiliary system, bringing all the var
ious branches in cooperative basis
For the term of one year he presided
at the meetings of the Washington
State Horticultural association, of
which he was also vlce-president two
years. Prior to coming to Mountain
Home he was horticulturist for the
Wenatchee Canal Co. Mr.. Littooy is
the author of two horticultural works
of reputation in the United States and
Canada. His reason for coming to
Southern Idaho was that he saw here
greater opportunities for fruit grow
ing than existed in any section in
which he has yet operated. The SER
vices Of Mr.. Littooy are often called
into requisition by those who desire
expert opinion in horticultural mat

orchards. This is not his first trip to
Medbury valley and after thorough
examination he considers it an ideal
place for fruit growing, not that
every tract of land is suitable for
fruit, for, he says, one must take
into consideration the irrigation,
drainage and air circulation as pro-
lection against frost, elevation, and,
most important of all, the soils. 1t
is expected that Mr.. Littooy will di-
rect the planting and care of a forty
acre apple orchard here the coming
season.
Medbury now has the new post
office which has been so long and pa
tiently waited for by our people. On
the petition which was sent in six
months ago there were forty eight
signatures asking that our community
be given postoffiee and that it be To-
Gated at the station. The office is
now established in the store of the
Medbury Mercantile Co., with H. F..
Koch as postmaster.
The settlers on Browns Flat, six
miles down the river from Medbury,
announce that they will take advan-
tage of the new postoffice here, as it
is much nearer than any other.

limits, which are quite extensive,
being at one place 600 feet wide.
In the early SOS when the railway
was building across Southern Idaho,
Medbury was a division point and
had a roundhouse, turntable and
steam pumping plant. Of these only
the big we'll remains with its mex
haustible supply of water only Ia feet
below the surface of the ground. In
few years the division was placed
at Glenns Ferry where it remains.
But Medbury has a large tributary
territory which in a few short years
will receive water for irrigation and a
thriving town will be the result
The railroad officials have had sur
veys and estimates made for a pres
sure water system for their various
buildings here. the main pipe to be

The contract for building bridges
over Cold Springs and Bennett creeks
was let to George Smith of Mountain
Home. If the bridges are built at
once some use may be had of them
this spring. During the freshet of
the past two weeks the creeks have
been impossible and the heavy snow
at the head of the creeks indicates
that there will be another period of
high water before long.

Marvin Hearn, having finished the
we'll on H. F. Krauth's place, has
gone to Gooding for month. Mr.
Hearn during his summers run has
not had failure in getting plentiful
supplies of water in the various wells
he has drilled, showing that there is a
shallow sheet of water underlying the
whole valley.
Early in December Luther Win

the river from the Turner ranch,
stored several boxes of apples and
potatoes in an unprotected tent which
he uses as his headquarters when here.

When we saw the big man week
later we were shocked at the change
In him. He seemed to have shrunk TO
half his former bulk.

exclaimed.
