FORTUNES IN
FARM LANDS
Idaho Leads in Agricultural
Wealth Producing Ca
Capacity

There is probably no farming
country on the American continent
that has produced so many fortunes
as that located in eastern Washing
ton and northern Idaho. The hun

from the states OF Minnesot1, Iowa.
Kansas, Michigan, Wisconsin. Him
oils, Indiana and Ohio, and settled
are now the owners of large tracts
OF land that produces each year Inn
mense yield of grains, and fruits.
and garden produce-the owners OF
handsome homes, and besides have
comfortable bank account. There
still exists an opportunity to pur-
chase much of this land at a low
price, and when the Occur d'Alene
reservation is thrown open there will
be thousands of acres of farming
land that knows no superior in the
world which may be acquired under
the homestead law and by the pay
ment Of a small sum per acre.
Land Cheap and Fertile.
Not only the unimproved land sit
uated in northern Idaho Is cheap, but
the best improved land may be &C
quired at half the price that is paid
for land far less productive in the
eastern states. The soil is very pro.
ductive and rich and requires no fer.
tilization whatever. Farm after
farm has been titled and crops raised
upon them for a period OF year,
without the necessity OF fertilizinl
the land, and in fact in nearly al
cases the land was equally as pro
ductive at the end Of the period as 4
was when It had only been a few
years under cultivation. There hav,
been what il termed by the farmel
short years, but never in the histor!
Of farming in this section has Their
been experienced a failure of crops
and even the short years have givel
larger and heavier yield than tn
best yields produced by the lands o
the older states.

its volume can be increased by the
establishment Of more reservoirs and

and they are all literally supported.
The city is situated at the base Of a
mountain and from its peak as many

the neighborhood. From this peak
may also be observed the Rathdrum

HARRISON
AND RATHDRUM
Two Prosperous and Growing KOO-
tenai County Towns.

The town of Harrison is situated
an tbe east side of lake Occur d.
Acme and within seven miles of the
head of the lake and mouth of the
e. Jos river. 1t is 20 miles distant
from the city of Occur d'Alene and
has direct communication with it by
means of large and small steamboats,
oVned by companies and individuals.
The town is located on a branch of
the O. r. & N. railroad and by means

tricity. The town is supplied with
two telephone systems and a number
OF other public institutions.
Has Many Business Institutions.
The city is well supplied with bus
mess institutions, and is fully equip
ped in every respect to take care Of
the business, and supply the needs
Of the tributary territory. The bust
ness men are of a progressive and
ambitious character-have conf
dence in the future of the town, and

ing this boom the county seat was To-
Gated in Rathdrum, and 1t continued
to be the county capital until last
fall when it was moved to Occur d.
Alene by a vote on the question by
the people. Besides being situated
on the Northern Pacific railroad, 1t
is also situated on the Idaho &
Washington Northern, and 1t still
continues to enjoy good trade with
the farming districts and the lumber
camps in the timber country lying
adjacent to it.
Surrounded by Farming Country.
It's chief trade, however, now
comes from the rich farming country
which surrounds 1t. The farmers
make 1t their headquarters as 1t al
fords a good market for their pro-
duce, and as the years go by 1t viii
continue to hold this trade, and Il
destined to have q steady and grad
ual growth. The schools are among
the best in north Idaho and tn
buildings among the largest AM

are governed by an enlightene'
corps Of teachers, and enjoy goo

the resources back of it, and are

and general welfare.
RATHDRUM.

Rathdrum was one of the first
towns established in the settlement
of Kootenai county, and at one time
during it's history was one of the
largest and most prosperous. In
the early days the Northern Pacific
railroad built it's line into the town,
and it became an Quitting and sup
ply point for the Occur d'Alene
mines which were then being devel-
oped, and it enjoyed for a number OF
years considerable of a boom. Dur

tons are made with this road and
the Occur d'Alene & Spokane rail-
road, and the Northern Pacific at
Occur d'Alene city.
The town is built on a hill side
and within a period of about IL
years grown from squatter's home
stead to a thriving prosperous place
of business and activity.
Chief Industry LAUNDERING.
The chief industry of the town and
vicinity is numbering. Here is locat-
ed the Lane Lumber Co., the Grant
Lumber Co., the Russell Lumber Co.,
the Hansen single mill, and the
Musser Lumber company will con-
struct an immense plant in the town
this year. The combined payroll
of these mills is enormous and they
the the chief contributors to the
prosperity and welfare of the town.
The lumber industry at Harrison,
like other places in the Occur d.
Alene country, is but in its infancy
and as time goes by will develop and
grow, and with it the town will
grow and prosper. While numbering
is the chief industry it is not the
only one of which the town can
boast. In the immediate vicinity
is but little of agricultural land, but
in the valleys and on the table lands
this is an important industry, and
much of it is tributary to Harrison.
This is also true of what is known
as the Occur d'Alene river valley.
The country tributary to the town
Is also rich in minerals, and
the work of developing it in this re-
spect is now in progress, and some
valuable properties have been dis
covered, and are being worked. When
transportation facilities become bet
ter in the tributary territory many
Of these properties which are now in
a dormant state will be worked, and
for these mining camps the town will
become supply and Quitting point.
Educational Facilities Are Good.
The early settlers of the town were
all of them of a progressive type, and
shortly after the settlement of the
town they began to show an interest
and activity in educational matters
The first school district was formed
in 1895, and just in the proportion
have the educational institutions
grown and prospered, and the towr
can now boast OF a splendid schoo
system. Religious facilities are alsC
good. and the principal denomina
tons have churches located in thu
town.
Water and Light Systems.

These statistics are taken from the
United States department OF agricul-
ture. They represent the yield Of
the various states in dollars and
cents. and northern Idaho's rank can
be seen at a glance as an agricultural
country. In the older states there is
no prospect OF the yields being in
creased. but in northern Idaho there
is much raw land. and farming like
other industries may be said to be in
Its infancy and the yield il destined
to increase.

Immense Crops.

AAnAAcuno OEOpss
A yield OF 40 bushels to the acre
is very common in what is known as
the Inland Empire section. and from
80 to 100 bushels to the acre Of oats,
and other products are grown pro-
portionately. The government re-
ports place this section OF the coun-
try above all other in the United
States in productivity OF the soil.
The products raised-all OF them
are of a superior character and in
every market-no matter where
they command the highest price.
There is a good local market for
nearly everything grown--in fact for
all manner of produce, as where II
can not be consumed by the local
market, dealers purchase direct from
the growers, and in many instances
before the harvest is commenced the
crops are contracted for and sold.
Farming Conditions Ideal.
There is not a state in the union
which from an agricultural point OF
view can boast of being freer from
insects and pests than eastern Wash
ington and northern Idaho. The
! state has excellent laws with rela-
tion to this subject, and they are
strictly enforced by the officers.
Statistics show that this section IL
peculiarly favored as to health con-
ditions. The weather is never Sc
verely cold in the winter. nor is II
hot in the summer, and a prostration
from heat has never been known
Electrical storms are rare, and cy'
clones and tornadoes are unknown
SO that there is no danger to crops
from the elements in this respect
There is plenty of inappropriate
range and by reason OF the mild win
ter-the fact that there are only 1
few weeks when 1t Is necessary t.
feed, live stock thrives.
Building material is cheap, anC
everything required in this line car
be secured from the local market
Lumber Is especially cheap.
Land Values Increasing.

INDUSTRIES AND COMMERCE.
CONTINUED from Page 12.)

This industry is also like that OF
dairying-unable to supply the local
market. and each year thousands and
thousands Of dollars worth OF these
products are shipped in from the east.
As the years go by the demand for
the products OF these aud the other
industries are destined to increase.
and an over supply Of the market
need never be feared.
Excellent Railroad Facilities.
The city has excellent facilities in
the way OF railroad transportation.

means OF two roads--the Northern

ATTRACTIVE DISPLAY.

Among the fine exhibits at the fair
may be placed the exhibit by Mt. Car
mel Convent. The exhibit attracted a
great deal of attention and praise. 1t
consisted of the displays of the va
rious work of the school in academic
work, fancy work, sewing, embroid-
ering, drawing in crayon, painting in
oil and pastel and work in wax in i'm
itation of fruits. Very pretty souve-
Mrs made from the bark of a cedar
tree blown down by the storm were
sold as mementoes of the storm. The
bark was nicely painted by the pupils
and were quite unique.
Another very fine display was that
of the Pelican Furniture Company. 1t
| consisted of a very handsome Mission
dining room set placed on a rallied
platform covered with mating. The
set consisted of a table, chairs, side
board and china closet. Beautiful
pictures on the wall. a pretty vase on
the table and a jardiniere with a palm
on the china closet added a pleasing
touch, while a fine stuffed pelican
symbolized the name of the firm.
The display was very attractive and
artistic.
A practical and at the same time
attractive display of Aurorama flour
was made by Mr.. and Mrs. C. L. Reed,
who supplemented the actual display
Of sacks of this -four, by making and
serving delicious hot biscuits made
of this flour with coffee. Auroramo
and Prince -four is made by the Ma
jestic Milling Co., Of Aurora, Mo-, and
the Merchants Grocer Company of
this city is the distributor of the
flour for Lafayette. MI. and Mrs.
Reed took quite a number of orders
for sacks of -four which were filled
through the grocers of the city.

special effort to obtain evidence that
will bring the violators of thi svery
important law to suffer punishment.
We examined the books Of the tax
collector and found that he had re-
ceived his quietus for collections to
June, 1909, from the Police Jury, and
from the state auditor to July 3, 1909.
The books of the parish treasurer
showed his quietus for all collections
to June 80, 1909.

in the right place and every record
carefully filed.
Assessor Trahan's Office shows
many improvements and everybody
was busy with the 1909 roll. His rec
ords are kept in a systematic and sat

We examined the parish Jail and
out of the presence of the sheriff
and of his deputies We examined the
prisoners and a~scertained from them
that they were being humanely
treated.
The public spirit and enterprise of
our people in the establishment of an
annual fair is to be commended, for
with her wonderful resources Lafay-
cite parish should be proud to show
them to the world, that the best i'm.
migration may be tempted to come
and help further development.
We desire to thank your honor for
your able charge, the clerk and his

the sheriff and his deputies for the
c~ourtesies extended during the time
we were in session. We compliment
the sheriff upon the thorOughness
with which summons for witnesses
were executed, facilitating us in the
discharge of duties. and lastly our sin
cere appreciation is expressed to our
legal advisor, the District Attorney,
for his valuable, intelligent, energetic
and able assistance.
There are many matters of public
interest which we feel demand fur.

ask that we be permitted to meet on
the first Monday of December.
We beg finally to report that we

The farmers of Lafayette parish
produced more corn this season than
necessary for local consumption, and
when placed upon the market there
a likelihood of the product being
sacrificed, as there were but few
people in Lafayette parish in the
market for corn.
Oren B. Hopkins, who manages the
Vordenbaumen Lumber Company
there, proved himself to be a maj of
large caliber by offering to buy all
corn in the shuck at 81 per barrel,
thus fixing a minimum price.
There is hardly a doubt but that
Mr.. Hopkins could have purchased
all the. corn desired at a figure be-
meath 81 had he cared to take ad-
vantage of the situation and the
farmers necessities, but realizing the
value Of the product, and apparently
being a follower of the golden rule
