new figures for the long leap that IL
the magnet that attracts the admirers
Of this reckless form of sport.
Great preparations are being made to
perfect the long Ishpeming slide SO
that the daring knights Of the spruce
blades will have every opportunity to
either equal or excel the record figures
Of 13S feet, made by Lief Berg Of Nor
way on Switzerland course two
years ago. The long incline, which
measures 800 feet in length, will be
added TO still more and it is proposed
to move the take-on thirty feet back.
These improvements will give the
men an opportunity to get up greater
momentum, and the moving Of the
take.otf will afford them much safer
landing place. A feature Of the 1sh.
pemirg slide that is enjoyed by NO
other in this country is that the path
is sixteen feet wide at the bump" or
take-off, thus enabling the men to take
the jump in their own peculiar manner
and not to have to follow the beaten
track Of their predecessors, as is the
case at all other frozen pathways.
One hundred and twenty-five feet
mas done at this course at the last
meet Of the skeers, and it Is expected
that with the improves conditions sew
eral feet will be added to this mark
when the lovers Of the sport gather
for what promises to be one OF the
banner events Of its kind of the seal
son. There is every reason to believe
that the slide will be lightning fast.
provided that the weather man is kind
and furnishes conditions favorable Tor
fast participation in the sport.
Skee jumping has rapidly forged to
the front rank Of winter athletics In
the western section Of this country
since its Introduction by the Scandi-
navians, and it bids fair to retain the
popular favor by reason Of its free
dom from Objectionable features that
eater into other sports. The love OF
victory is firmly installed in the minds
Of the fearless and shifty followers Of
the sport, and as the money prizes are
comparatively small and the betting
conspicuous by its absence there is abb
solutely no reason for the men not
putting forth their best efforts.
No thoughts Of holding back enter
the mind Of a man when he faces a
CLASSY stretch Of nearly 800 yards that
requires his utmost skill and nerve to
slide down at a death defying speed
and then exaeting a gathering Of all
his power for the leap that sends him
sailing through the air to safe land.

As a consequence skeeing is slowly
earning a well deserved popularity.
and from all indications there is every
reason to believe that this form Of
sport will in time become a fixture.

scores OF tourists and homeseekers
west. All records are said to have been
broken this year for the amount of
travel incident to the beginning of the
homeseekers' rates. The rates began
on March l, and Colonel I. A. Benton,
general agent of the passenger depart
ment OF the Denver & Rio Grande, re-
ported yesterday that on the first three
days IN which the rates were in effect
over 1.500 persons had started west
through the Denver gateway. Most of
these travellers passed through Salt
Lake.
The passenger department of the Rio
Grande, of the Salt Lake Route and of
the Hartman lines also report a great
increase within the last week of passen-
ger traffic east. Just now the many
tourists who have been on the coast
are returning home, and there is now
the heaviest passenger traffic both ways
through this city experienced since last
fall. 1t is estimated that this city is
now entertaining an average of 800 to
400 strangers daily.

IDAHO Is
BIG POTATO COUNTRY

I. r. Warren, commercial agent for
the Atehison, Topeka & Santa Pc.
brought back with him Yesterday from
Idaho glowing account of the pros
perity experienced by farmers in the
vicinity of Idaho Falls on account of
Dig potato crops last year. He says that
country now promises to eclipse the
Greeley (COlo.) country in the Quantity
and quality of its potato output. Po-
tatoes from Idaho Falls this year have
been shipped in every direction. Ready
markets have been found for them. and
good prices have been secured The
Idaho Falls region, he says, has made
big reputation for potatoes this sea-
son. and the potato crop there promises
To be of more Importance in the future
than even the sugar beet industry. He
says that the Twin Falls tract has also
grown some excellent potatoes and that
this crop will be grown more extensive
ly on that tract the coming year.
Probably 1900 cars of potatoes have
been shipped from Idaho Falls since
last fall, stated Mr. Warren yesterday.
and, of that amount, it is estimated
that fully 250 cars were to Texas. The
potatoes grown there are of most excel
lent quality, mealy and good keeping
fully as good as any grown at Gree
ley. Greeley for years has had the
bulge on potatoes, out II VIII have to
acknowledge hOnOrs for southern Idaho
now. The Idaho potatoes found a ready
market last season. The demand was
greater than the supply. The crop was
shipped in every direction-east, west,
south and north. Butte got most of its
supply there, and SO did Spokane and
Seattle The spuds were also shipped
east to New York and south and west
to Portland, San Francisco and Cali
fornia points. But the biggest ship
ments were to Texas"
