A DOUBLE ATTRACTION
Land Opening and Town Lot
Sale.

Washington, ID. c., May 3, l9O9.-
Homes on Government land and
homes In Government town are to
be offered to homeseekers on May %
and "a at Powell, Wyoming.
On May 22nd the second unit OF the
shoshone irrigation project, in north.
ern Wyoming, will be thrown open to
homestead entry, and on the oath the
lots In the Government town OF Pow
ell In the center OF the irrigable area,
will be sold at auction to the highest
bidder.
II you don't want farm-if you are
a business or professional man, a car
penter, blacksmith. brick mason, or in
fact have any trade and want TO get a
home in Il new growing community,
this is your opportunity.
The first unit OF the Shoshone pro-
ject was opened only year ago, but
so rapidly were the farms taken up
that 1t was necessary to rush work on
the canals so that additional land
conld be made available this spring.
In the first unit eight farm houses or
more to the mile have been built
along the main highways. There will
never be any isolation or loneliness
among the farmers here. The soil is
exceedingly fertile, the climate de-
lightful, and the transportation facil-
tiles good.
The farms are obtainable under the
homestead law, subject to the charges
OF actual cost OF supplying water to
the land. This charge has been fixed
at si6 per acre, payable In ten annual
instalments, without interest. The
annual cost OF maintaining and oper-
ating the system amounts to 81 per
acre.
The principal crops are alfalfa,
sugar beets, cereals and hardy fruits,
and vegetables. Potatoes yield from
200 to 400 bushels per acre and are OF
tine quality. Wheat yields from 40 to
60 bushels per acre, oats average gu
bushels per acre. The small fruits
that have been grown are very proli-
tic and possess Il fine flavor, and 1t Is
believed that apples will be prof.
table crop.
The influx Of large number OF set
tiers to this region has created u de-
mand for all sorts OF supplies and all
sorts of Industries, and the towns on
the project are growing rapidly.
The new town OF Powell already
possesses a graded school,a state bank,
drug store, blacksmith shop. hotel,
lumber yard and store, and church
services are conducted regularly. The
Chicago, Burlington s. Quincy Rail.
road has a station at this point, and
IL will be one Of the chief sources for
supplies.
If you desire any information cop.
corning the farm lands or the town
lots, you should write TO the Stats.

Live Stock Market.
THE New ERA.

SpcClal 10 L HE NEW TsNA.
Kansas City Stock Yards, May 3rd.
The run OF 10000 cattle received
here last week was smallest for sever
al weeks, and the market made a gain
of % to 10 cents for the week. Not
only was the run small, but the de-
nand was better than heretofore,
still further Frightening the outlook
for good prices for fat cattle the
present month. The run today is 1900
head, market ; To II higher. Four
loads of the Lockhart steers sold at
$500 here today, weighing l3O0fb,
highest price reached by that quality
above ten days ago for similar steers.
Western hay fed steers sold today at
50. so to 1910, and cows at 3.I5 to 81. 65.
Stockers and feeders sold stronger
toward the close OF last week, and are
10 to 10 higher today, stockcrs worth
s4.O0 to s. so, feeders si75 to S.s5,
top figures paid for branded steers
where quality, flesh and breeding are
satisfactory.
Sheep and lambs made an advance
of % to - cents last week, and the
market is 10 to % higher today. The
run is as heavy as at this time a year
ago and the demand is best IL has
ever been at this season. Colorado
fed lambs are still coming pretty
freely, and sales Of Arkansas Valley
lambs today were mainly at $500 to
IS. 10, a few light lambs at SS.35 and
s. 40, highest prices on record at this
market except for a short time in
1906. Ycarlings reached S7.65 today,
wethers worth up to 1918, ewes s6.25,
some clipped ewes today at $3.50. Fed
stuff Will sell at extremely high prices
as long AS IL continues to come this
season. Texas muttons are not COM
ing very freely, and market on them
is also 25 to 35 cents higher than a
week ago, bulk of clipped muttons at
s. % to So 60. Fat goats sell at 81. 75
to s4.25, brushers 50. 25 to 1896.

STRAWBERRIES IN COLORADO

The fact that but few of even the
best growers keep any records OF the
expense OF growing an acre Of straw
berries makes IL difficult to give any
exact statements In this connection.
Mr.. 9. l.. Parsons, OF Boulder, kept
records one year, during which the
total expense mot including rental or
interest on the cost OF the land) was
sl05 for one acre OF strawberries. Mr..
J. p. Farmer, OF Canon City, estimates
that the equivalent OF one mans time
during summer, with horse, could
care for five acres OF berries, except
harvesting. He also estimates that
IL will cost sl25 TO $3.50 to grow an
acre In the best manner, but believes
that this is more than is usually put
into the crop In all probability 500
an acre Is near the average expense
Of growing crop OF strawberries as
practiced on a commercial scale In
Colorado.
The profits In this industry are like
wise matter OF great variability, as
they depend not alone on the cost OF
producing and harvesting the CROP
but also on the markets. 1t costs no
more to grow large yield than a
small one. In the former case, to be
sure, the cost OF harvesting will be
increased, and II a large yield Is gen
eral the price is apt to be correspond
ingly low. Some general estimates OF
Yields In the Canon City region range
from 400 to as high as 800 crates an
acre, the latter case being from small
tracts, Bederwood In this region pro.
duces from 200 to 500 crates per acre
In good season.
From estimates given by growers
in other regions and from other varie-
ties, It is evident that a crop OF 800
crates per acre should be considered a
good Yield 10 normal season.
The cost OF harvesting and packing
varies less widely than most OF the
other operations. and is estimated al
from 60 to 65 cents crate IN places
where pickers are paid 2 cents a
quart. An average of the estimates
secured on the cost of producing a
crate of berries ready for market IS
about sl.l5. The price received oy
the growers during the last few years
has averaged about 81 a crate. Some
growers roughly estimate that aoouc
oue.hal or so per cent. OF the gross
returns is profit during normal sea-
sons. ~,

un River Fishing


Notice has been issued that the
Willamette and clackamas Rivers are
closed TO fishermen between April IS
and May /. This action has been
taken by the State Board Of Fish
Commissioners and Is intended for
the further protection Of salmon
The action Of the board will remedy
a slight oversight in the bill passed
by the Legislature regulating fishing
on the Columbia. At a meeting Of
the Fish Commissioners, held in Sa-
lem Tuesday, number OF letters
from fishermen, Gamers and packers
were read, calling the attention Of
the board to the fact that, although
the Legislature had enacted laws pro-
viding closed seasons during which
time no fishing would be permitted
on the Columbia River. they had fail
ed, to make similar provisions for the
Willamette and Clackamas Rivers,
and suggesting that the board use its
powers under the law and close
these streams so that the same closed
seasons would prevail on all the
rivers.

Cases Of Diphtheria--

Cases OF Diphtheria--
Four or FIVE cases Of diphtheria
have been reported to the city health
officer, DR.. Reames, from Uniohtown
and there seems TO be promise Of a
slight epidemic OF the sickness there.
The teachers of the Taylor school
were requested to send all OF the chill
dren in school who complained Of
sickness to the health officer for ex-
animation, and OF number that were
sent yesterday all were found suffer
ing with bad colds or swollen tonsils,
but none with diphtheria, 1t is hoped
with proper care to keep the sick
ness from spreading, though the nnm-
ber OF cases already reported would
indicate that perhaps many Of the
pupils have been exposed. Parents
are advised to watch their children
very closely, and unless the present
cases develop to be of serious ma
ture it is thought that no stringent
measures will have to be taken In
handling the slight epidemic,
