There is considerable talk at pres

Men who are well acquainted with
the business estimate that it will cost
about $4,000 to build a plant large
enough to handle the business of the
Richfield tract and two men have
signified their willingness to take
stock to the amount of $4,000, which
will leave only $4,000 yet to be sub

amount can easily be raised by the
citizens of the town.
There is no doubt but what it
would be a paying business, as the
town will be large enough in another
year to make an electric light plant
itself a paying business, as practically
all of the citizens would prefer to
use electricity for lighting purposes
and there will undoubtedly be de-

WORK STOPPED
Bad Weather Puts Stop to All
Building Operations

The exceptional weather has prac-
tically stopped all building operations
here in town. The fine new school
house was enclosed the last of the
roof being put on during the intermit-
tent rains of month ago; but it has
been impossible to get the plastering
along because of the cold and the
snow Mr. j. Fl. Murfitt, the contrac-
tor, has been travelling between here
and Dietrich, where he has the CON
tract for the big hotel, saying and
doing things well calculated to warm
up the atmosphere; but still the wea-
ther comes a little too fast and num-
erous for him, so the two fine build
ings are still unfinished.

Richfeld's Sky-Scraper Farm
Airship Highway Above Fertile Farm Land on Surface
and Mammoth Cave and Natural Cold Storage
Warehouse Down In the Basement.

of any kind, the cave would be the
very finest kind of a natural ware
house. 1t would hold all the apples
that could be raised on the Richfield
tract, and preserve them as no ice
house or cold storage building ever
put up. With few ventilators cut
through the roof, it could be kept
sweet and odorless, though filled with
vegetables and fruits enough to feed
city for year. DR.. Hunt has in
mind the wonderful storage possiblii
ties of the place, and considers that
with the fine land he has on the rest
of the farm, he has the very best
thing on the whole tract
The three-story features may be
accounted for by considering the air
above as one story, a natural high
way for the airships the people of the
Richfield tract will be able to buy
after having their lands in cultiva-
ton about two years; the soil itself
is the second story; and the cave be-
meath, with it's possibilities for grow
ing mushrooms, or for use as a great
warehouse, make up the base
ment, or third story.

When Idaho Was Full of Deer
Rchfeld Tract Was Once the Choicest Feeding Ground
For the Deer--Thousands Were Slain for Food
In the Early Days of Lincoln County.

What weather the past week
would have been for deer hunting
if only there had been deer to hunt.
You could have tracked them all
across the state, if necessary, taking
every chance for shot, until you
got the game or got too tired to
shoot any longer
There arn't deer enough in this
section right now, to make it worth
while to discuss. Nearly every win
ter, a few deer are killed on the
prairie southeast of here, between
hre and Minidoka and on southward
to tn Snake river; and some deer
drift down to the river father west,
beyond Bliss. But there was day
when there were more deer on these
prairies than there are jack rabbits
today; and it wasn't so very long ago
either.
When the Oregon Short Line was
built through this country, 26 years
ago, there were deer by the thous-
ands all over this section. For a
great many years thereafter. deer
were brought into the towns by the
dozens and the scores every winter.

River branch, was a well known hunt

poses.
The mill could not help but be a
paying proposition from the start,
as there is not mill on the tract.
and the large amount of wheat rails
ed from HALEY to this place has to be
shipped to other mills and which
causes the consumer to have to pay
freight both ways on the product that
is most largely raised in this section
of the country.
1t would be good plan for the
Commercial club to take this matter
up and see what they could do toward
securing the rest of the stock neces-
sary to make this enterprise a GER
tainty as it would undoubtedly be a
great thing for Richfield and would
be the cause of several more families
locating in our city and adding to
the pay roll that we already have.
BY all means lets have a mill and
electric light plant.

snow fall, followed by quick thaw
destroyed some work and delayed
other work on the Big Wood River
reservoir, so that the Richfield tract
failed to get water for crops; it
cost this section perhaps half mil
lion dollars-maybe more than that.
These floods are dangerous; the cold
spell that can freeze up and check
the thaws that produce them, is a
great boon to the country.
Whoever has fall grain in the
ground, can sit back with smile and
dream of automobiles and diamonds
and other valuable things; for he has
an assured crop, safe from almost any
contingency whatever. There is
enough fall grain in Lincoln county
to make a great crop next fall.
Whatever sickness there might be
owing to the mild or the west wealth
er, will disappear before the frost A
good breeze is like a sarsaparilla or
a sassafras tonic-it clears the blood,
braces the nerves, and brings good
health to everybody A little touch
of real winter is better than all the
medicine that was ever put on the
shelves.
There are two railroads to be built
through Lincoln county next spring,
if the signs do not fail There is the
cutoff across the North
Side tract, which is pretty we'll assur-
ed Then the Minidoka-Richfield
Boise main line cutoff is practically
assured; it is much more rational
route even than the other, and if Ell
ther route were to be discontinued,
it would almost necessarily be the
line. These two lines
will bring an immense sum of money
into the county; the development of
the country through which they pass
will be rapid and permanent; there
will be a ready market for everything
and everybody who owns
foot of property will have a chance
70 sell, or develop, at higher prices
han he had believed possible.
Altogether there is a fine prospect
opening up for Lincoln County.

There is a welcome for every one; rich,
poor, the petted darling of the one
child home, the hungry and perhaps
ragged little one who shares with many
other brothers and sisters the comforts
that would not suffice for more than
one or two; the rich, the poor, the
favored the desolate, there isn't a diff
ferent welcome wherever they come
from or whoever they are. It's Christ
mas time, the time when humanity for
gets all its class distinctions, and acts
on the motto of the One whose coming

It's A Good Winter
Plenty of Snow to Insure Crops; PIen-
ty of Frost to Hold 1t Against
Excessive Floods.

This part of Idaho, along with the
greater part of the West and North
west has been III the grasp of real
storm for the past ten days. 1t has
not stormed all that time, but the
weather has been decidedly bad; a
touch of rain, several days of steady
snow, and some cold days when the
thermometer went close to zero. On
Saturday morning, several local ther-
mometers reported all the way from
zero to 10 degrees below, but the ex-
tremely low marks are not consider
ed at all accurate. There is more
than foot of snow on the ground
perhaps the heaviest SNOW this sec
tion of the state has seen for several
years.
The storms have put an abrupt stop
to all ditch construction work, 1t is
usual for the weather to hold so that
contractors can work up till about
Christmas. But this year the rains
stopped them a month ago, many of
them when they had only from two
to ten days work left to finish up
their contracts. 1t has disarranged
the. plans of practically every con-
tractor in this part of the state for
most of them figured Just what they
could get done in the average work
ng season, and the shortening of
SIhe season has left them stranded.
But after all, the weather isn't ser
ious loss to the country at large. /
There is more moisture in the soil I
than, there has been for years. This
is an arid country, and irrigation is
needed to insure good crops. But if
we get one-half enough moisture to
raise our crops, it takes only one
half as much irrigation-and irriga-
tion costs money. With good crops
assured next year costing only about
one-half as much to irrigate as the
average, there is a great profits in
sight for the farmer. The coming of
hard freeze, now that the snow is
here, will prevent damage from the
average; the snow being frozen hard,
can not go off with such rush as
to be dangerous. Last spring. heavy

Stocking Deerslayer. Deer meat us
ed to be cheaper than beef, or pork,
or even mutton. There were more
deer skins shipped out than you
could count in a month
But it's all off now. The range
is filled with mutton and grain and
beet and beef fields, and the deer
have gone to the happy hunting
ground, never to return. If you want
wild meat, you'll have to raise it
in the barnyard, or bring it in from

no more deer worth the killing.
But there are fish-oh, yes, there
are fish to please the most enthus-

and as palatable as the ambrosia of
the fbled gods. There are more fish
in the streams of Idaho than there
ever were during the wild days; the
state fish and game department has
made up in part for the loss of the
big game, and filled the streams with
the finest fish in the world So the

ture-only his habits-to find here

The Christmas tree committees have
all arrangements completed and the en-
tertainment will be held in the school
room, next to the bank Christmas Eve.
A large sum of money was raised,
for buying presents for the children,
and the committee has been very care
full to secure the name of every child
on the Richfield tract, and there will be
present for every one.
An interesting program has also been
arranged and as the management of
the program and the training of the
children has been placed in the hands
of a competent committee there is
no doubt but what all who attend this
entertainment will be well paid for
their trouble.
One part of the program for the even
ing is dramatization of 1.-The Birds
Christmas Carol. The original story
was written by Kate Douglas Wiggin,
author of Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage
Patch, one of the most popular writer's
of the times; and the piece has been
dramatized and is being staged by Mrs.
K. G. Phelps of this place. The Misses
Tress Mcmahon and Prudence Fowler
have charge of the other exercises,
which will be interesting and varied in
their scope. Altogether, it will be

Money above, in and under the

That is what Dr. G. K. Hunt of
Spokane, owns within mile and a
half of Richfield
When DR.. Hunt came here, at the
time of the first opening of the
tract, he drove over the land look
ing for the place that most nearly
met his approval. He found swale
in the ground, with tall grass grow
ing up from among the rocks therein.
1t was rather unusual appearance,
and he got out of the rig to investi-

he found an opening down into the
earth, which he could enter. 1t look

Strunk, who was with him, and to-
gether they went on in, to depth
of $50, when the light failed, and
they had to give it up.
Later, the cave was explored to a
depth of $50 feet, and the explorers
could have gone farther yet. The
cave walls are finely arched, with
ceiling 12 to 25 feet high, and wide
and roomy as a great railroad depot.
The floor is almost level, although
the opening extends back under
slight declivity, so that the roof is
considerably thicker at the back end
than at the entrance. Ceiling and
walls sparkles with myriads of crys-
tails, though the familiar stalactite
and stalagmite formation of the lime

lime water forms the most wonder
