Teheran, Feb. 17.-News was received here to-
day that the violent earthquake recorded on

This information was conveyed in belateo re-
ports Just received by the government. The
districts Of Burujurd and Selah0r, in Luristan,
wers the centres OF the greatest violence, and
here the heaviest casualties occurred. Several
villages reported to have been engufed The
losses would have been much greater were 1t
not for the fact that these districts sparsely
populated. Tho destitute survivors are foCktng
into the town of Burujurd, whence appeals for
assistance are now reaching the government.
The peasants lost practically all their herds. and
Il is estimated that from ten thousand 10 twelve

GREAT WESTERN
MAKES FILINGS
Additional Reservoir Lands On the
Long Tom System Filed on
by Company

The Statesman of Wednesday con
tains notice that the Great Western
Beet Sugar Company as reorganized
by S, G. Yerkes and associates. have
filed an application at the United
States land office for a right of
way over 1858 acres of land for reser-
voir purposes. The site selected is a
part of the old Long Tom project.
According 60 the specifications, the
dam is to be constructed further down
the valley than the proposed dam of
the Long Tom project. 1t will i'm
pound 119. 500 acre feet of water.
The continued activities of the com
pany and the rapid progress they are
making. as evidenced in the above
information, gives occasion for the
belief that the relief of this com-
munity and this section of Idaho must
and will come from the Great Western
Beet Sugar Company. They still
hold the water system on which this
country depends for irrigation and
with the additional fileings on streams
and reservoirs sites, they will be in
shape to irrigate stretch of country
reaching to the Snake River and will
reclaim over 100. 600 acres of land.
In order to get in shape to carry
through contemplated plan the people
must get together and give the COM
pany some encouragement and boost
for the interests that are SO vital tc
/ the community. Should the disposi.
tion to fight the company in every
move it makes to get action on ths
system continue, should the people o.
4 this community continue to embarras'
and harrass them at every step, |
might be possible we will be tied VI
in litigation for many years to come
The irrigation of few thousant
acres of land in this valley will neve
mean the success to Mountain Home
or enhance the value of the land ant
give it the value it properly deserves
but the irrigation of 100, 900 acres o
land will mean the greatest irrigated
section in Southern Idaho. Lands will
double in value and all property will
Immediately become marketable an
in demand. Lands that are now abso
lutely lyisunsaleable will be in deman
and bring price in keeping wit
the wonderfusl prodcutiveness of tn
soil.

Seattle, May IS. = The ,Ampitheatre
of the Alaska Yukon. Pacific expo
sition has been accomplished party
by human efforts but for the most
part the work has been done by
nature. On the precipitous shores
of Lake Washington, looking across a
succession of bays. and snow topped
peaks of the Cascades are brought
clearly into view, and this forms the
back ground of the ampithetre stage.
Three sides rise from the floor, and
these have stately upward slope ;
only in the Development of these
natural seating places has it been nec-
essary for work to be expended.
About the TERED sides of the am
pitheatre, chairs rise one above the
other, and in the vast forest theatre,
thirty thousand people can have COM
Portable and slightly positions. Sur
rounded at the back and sides to tow
ering trees Of Douglas Fir and mas
sive cedar, the place seems to have
been created by giants of old for spec
tacular events; it is so fashioned
and designed that open air acoustics
produce results which could be gen.
orally looked for, only within the
walls of structures built with this
property always in mind.
1t was in this spot that the first
shovel of earth was removed in the
building of the Alaska. Yukon, Pac-
ific exposition. Without any work
of preparation, twenty-five thousand
people were easily Accommodated withir
its borders.
During the course of the exposi
tion. the ampitheatre will be th'
scene of many interesting events
and with its arrangement as now per
fected will aoffrd the grandest ou
of doors theatre in existence.

SEGREGATION
APPLIED FOR
Ten Thousand Acres At Medbury to
be Segregated Under The
Carey Act

The Medbury segregation at an
early date seems assured. The re-
linquishments OF the land to be
brought under the segregation together
with the contracts signed by the
settlers were taken to Boise Tuesday
night to be filed with the State Land
Board. There will be about 1910
acres segregated under the Carey act
in the neighborhood of Medbury and
about $500 acres in and around Glenns
Ferry.
The water for this segregation will
be supplied from reservoirs to be
constructed above Medbury and fed
by the Cold Springs, Canyon. Alkali
and Bennett Creeks. These waters
will irriagte about 5000 acres of the
higher lands in the Medbury valley.
Water for the lands in the valley
and along the canal from Glenns
Ferry and at Glenns Ferry will be sup
piled by the King Hill system This
will give sufficient water supply for
all the land to be segregated with
some to spare.
The segregation will be rushed
through with all possible haste in
order to begin work on the system in
time to deliver water to the settlers
next spring for the regular irrigation
season. The company will send q
representative through to the land
department at Washington, d. c., in
order that no delay will occur in
the process of segregating the lands
to the state. 1t is expected the seq
regation will be completed within
three or four months and sooner il
i possible.
The price for the water as agreed
upon by the settlers will be $65 per
acre. But. instead Of the regular
Carey Act payment of one tenth down
at the time of the opening and the
balance in nine equal installments.
the settler under this project will
have first payment of only 81 per
acre, at the time of opening, and
second payment of $5 when The water
will be delivered to the land. This
will give all land holders an oppor-
tunity to get the land in shape and
meet the payments with the income
from the crops, which should increase
as the land is under cultivation.
This is one of the finest fruit sec
tions in the northwest The climate
is warm and with the low elevation
and numerous chimneys and draughts.
is practically free from frost. The
Carey Act means plentyt,of water
with the safest water contract OBJ
tainable in the State Of Idaho. Med
bury will develop very rapidly during
the next few years and should make
one of the'best towns and fruit sec
tions in Southern Idaho.

DAVIS SELLS THE
HALL FRUIT FARM
Entire Farm of $50 Acres viii Be
Developed and Set Out TO
Fruit Trees

A very important transaction in
Elmore county real estate occurred
yesterday when Senator Carl A. Davis
entirely disposed of all his interest in
the Garnet fruit ranch to Messrs.
Kenison & Morton of Dillon. Montana.
The consideration for the ranch was
$35, 900. Mr.. John w. Morton was
the main purchaser of the Buckeye
ranch at Hagerman this spring for
500, 900 which created so much COM
ment throughout this section OF the
country. Asa A. Ksnnison is a
large sheep owner of Montana. and
has been attracted to this section OF
the fruit country through his partner,
Mr.. Morton. Mr.. Kenison intends to
move to Garnet and take charge OF the
plant and make his future home there.
Mr.. Morton has known of the
Hall fruit ranch for number OF
wears. In fact he has been regular
customer of the ranch for the past ten
or twelve years, taking large share
of the peach crop of the orchard. 1t
is through the excellence of the fruit
he has been receiving from the or
chard the past number of years that
attracted him to the orchard ano
caused him to consider the purchase OF
the property. fe
Both gentlemen are very enthusi-
astic over their new purchase lr
fact the deal was practically CLOSED
before they went down yesterday tt
inspect the farm They intend t.
improve and cultivate the entire acre
age and will as soon as possible Sc
every available foot out to orchard
This will mean an orchard in Earne
of not less than $50 acres. They will
spend a vast amount of money IN I'M
proving the property and will begil
oneration at once.
Mr.. Morton has been making Bois
his home the past winter. but is ser
iously contemplating move to Noun
tain Home. Should he make this hi
home he will no doubt make exten
sive investments in and about the cit.
in the way of home and real estate
He will find Mountain Home pleas
ant place to live in, and the conven
ience. in being near his property o.
the Snake river should decide for hin
very quickly.
While we are gaining such excellen
residents in the county, we are iosin
, one of the cleanest and most honorabl
, men that ever made Elmore count
6 home. Mr.. Davis is youn
. man of great ability in law and pol
/ itics. Last fall this county sent hir
. to the state Senate and there h
gained the reputation of the deepes
student and hardest working membe
y in the body. He reflected great hone
a on his constituents and credit on hin
self. He was elected over his party
vote by several hundred majority ar
no man of either party has cause
regret that his vote was cast for Ca
A. Davis. Mr.. Davis plans on loca
ing in Weiser where he will continr
= !, the practice of law and his mar
: friends here wish him good heal'
