Cattle and horses running at
large in the city limits have been
the cause for complaint from a
great many on account of the
damage they have done to lawns
and gardens. The animals are
turned loose at night it seems,
to wander where they will, and
in the morning someone who has
worked hard to secure a nice
lawn or who has been proudly
exhibiting the products of his
garden wakes up to find that
COWS and horses have been MAX
ing play ground out of the
place and have eaten and tramp
led the whole thing out of exis-
tence. This is not a square deal,
and the owners Of the animals
should be compelled to look after
them. There is a city ordinance
covering this, and all anyone has
to do who is troubled this way is
to swear out a warrant against
the parties who own the animals
and the officers Of the city will
do the rest.

Twelve o. thirteen miles below the town
or Burley. Idaho. the Snake river begins
to fall rapidly and enters great cash in
the earth. which winds like a serpent
through the lava beds for about fifty
miles The walls Of the canyon are black
as coal and almost perpendicular on
both sides, varying from 500 TO 1.Joo feet
in height There are seven water falls.
eliminating in the Great Shoshone falls
which are much higher than those al
Niagara and in some respects are more
majestic. On either side of this canyon
north and south. desert of volcanic ASH
has been lying on the top OF lava peds
since this part OF the continent cooled OH.
Until recently il was covered with dense
growth or sage brush, which indicates
fertility Land agents out here Will teii
you that a farmer of experience, IN locat-
ing a homestead. viii select the spot

The Oregon Short Line follows the
banks of the river on both sides, the
main trunk being on the north and a
branch on the south.
South OF the river 100000 acres OF land
have already been irrigated and sold. on
the north side $4,000 acres are now being
irrigated from dam at the town of MIL

through the solid lava both on the north
and on the south sides of the river for a
distance of twenty miles or more. From
these main bitches lateral canals which,

intervals TO the fartherest limits of the
Twin Falls tract on the south side. and
are being extended on the north side. The
water was turned in to the south side
bitches March 1, 1903, and since then
about 100000 acres of land have been
taken up in small farms under the Carey
act and are now occupied by between
1000 and 5000 families. all newcomers
A large portion of the north side has also
been taken up and additional people are
coming in very rapidly and are building
homes and planting crops as fast as the
canals are extended.
The water was turned on the north side
last April. SO that the first crop is being
cultivated this summer. All of the land
on the north side has been taken UP ex-
cept about 1900 acres, and by the end
of this season there will be not less than
100 families on that tract, making alto
gether at least 800 families upon the
two banks OF the river within "A great
triangle known as the Twin Falls tract
which was lifeless desert five years ago.
A Private Enterprise.
Perhaps ~ would be well TO explain
again that this enterprise is being car
ried on by private corporation and not
by the United States government What
is known as the Carey ACT is law of
Congress by which private capital NAV
take hold of such irrigation enterprises
as this. where government land is in
volved, and hold the land as security for
its investment until the land is all sold.
On this tract there was not an acre
in private ownership when the enterprise
was started The lands were segregated
by the state of Idaho under the Carey
act. and the price of water fixed by the
state commissioners at S25 an acre. and
the state gets 80 cents per acre for the
land. The laws of Idaho protect Carey
acters. so that there is no possible op-
portunity for fraud. The cost of the land
and water is divided into ten PAYMENTS.
The first is made when the contract is
signed. the next comes due in two years
and the balance follows annually.
When the last payment is made the
management Of the irrigation system
passes over to the settlers. who organize
company and elect officers for that
purpose. And thereafter they are re-
auired to pay only an annual rental to
keep the canals in repair and provide for
operating expenses. The cost of OBJ
tanning a farm under the Carey act is
larger than under what is known as the
reclamation act of the United States
government. but there are certain ad-
vantages, and the buyer can mortgage
or sell his property whenever he likes
The credit for this great development
belongs to an Indiana boy-Mr. i. B. Per

But a young hurricane sprang up sud
denly, which scattered the embers. in
every direction, and before morning the
town of HALEY had vanished in smoke
The citizens. who had lost everything
they owned were naturally displeased
with Mr. Perrines methods. and would
have lynched him but for the interven-
ton of Col. Wall, now a prominent and
highly respected citizen of Salt Lake City.
But young Perrne had to pull his
freight" they say out here and left
the ruins of Haley more rapidly than
he has ever Travelled since.
Coming down the Snake river a
prospecting tour he discovered two beauti-
! full blue lakes in the bottom of the
canyon, three or four miles below the
Great ShoShone falls. He was so
! fascinated with them that he located a
! homestead upon the surrounding land. and
has lived there ever since. The walls Of
| the canyon rise to height of $50 feet
all around him. and to climb out of his
hidden home to the world beyond was an
all-day journey, and Il very arduous one.
Mr.. Perrine had TO lower the lumber for
his ca bin over the edge of the Drecipice
with a rope. and everything else that
went to or came from this picturesque
home was handled in the same way until.
few years later. he built trail up
the side of the precipice, which was safe
for a mule or a horse. AfterWard. as he
accumulated the money necessary lie
/ built a wagon road and got a charter
| from the legislature. which allows him to
| charge toll. 1t is much-trayeled high
| way these days, and in connection with
ferry boat. which he built upon the
river, Mr. Perrine is doing very profit
| able business Other roads cross the
] canyon of the Snake river, both above
| and below Shoshone falls. but his has
| the best grades. and is the most con-
venient. and therefore draws the greater
/ proportion of travel.
At first Mr.. Perrine washed the sands
! of the river for gold and was quite sue
| cessful Then he began 10 plant fruit
] trees and has gradually extended his
| holdings until he now has about | ,O0f
acres of orchard with between 25.Go0 and
10000 trees. mostly apples.' He sold his
! crop on the trees last year 20 a Chicago
| commission house for $4,000 cash. the
buyer picking and packing the fruit and
paving all other expenses. In addition
| to his apples. Mr.. Perrine sold 6.OU
| year. besides large quantities of other
| fruit and berries for corresponding prices
| Mr.. Perrnes apples have taken the frs,

/ they have been exhibited. They were
