Southern Idaho, which must be considered marvellous.
AS King Hill is situated in the midst of this
veous Development object to attract attention to
the opportunities that exist there No section of South
Idaho has been appreciated by experienced
hOrtcuturiss especially since the sale OF land by the
King Hill Irrigation & Power Co. under it's Carey Act
opening last October This sale brought together peo
pie from all walks of life and from all points of the
pass representing worldwide experience. Among such
were experienced fruit growers from the noted fruit
TONS who readily appreciated the favorable opporun
ties and conditions which exist there superior to their
home location and because of this fact the King Hill
section rapidly being developed by those who appre
ciate it's true values.
While the land in other noted fruit sections of the
Northwest is selling at fabulous yet true values, is
difficult to find place where the hortcuturst
duplicate his investment and find equal better values
Conclusions sometimes based assumption.
Not at King Hill The fruit grower bases his
illusions absolute facts there because of the results
achieved from the orchards and frutgrowng adjacent
to King Hill. This fruit exhibited at the Elmore
County Fair last Fall and fruit growers from Wenat
chez and Yakima expressed themselves never having
seen anything superior to it,
1t may not be generally known, but the fact is that
fruit from Southern Idaho, exhibited at the National
Horticultural Congress-, held at Council Bluffs last
Winter, first premium all competitors from
the most noted fruit sections of the Northwest Again
it is not generally known that at meeting of Pomolo
gsts held during this congress, they concluded that the
fruit grOzcn at eleUaOn OF from 1000 to 5000 feet
superior for the export and trade to that
grown at lower higher elevations; neither is it gen
orally known that this elevation of 1000 to 5000 feet
under arid conditions required is practically confined
to central Southern Idaho, and that it is limited in
tent King Hill Valley is in the centre of this district
This section will grow rapidly, because of the fol-
lowing facts: Transportation geographical location,
ideal horticultural conditions the association of fruit
growers, already organized directing intelligent effort
to commercalize interests, movement never known
before to exist prior to the development of fruit
ton For this which have caused serious
loss in other fruit sections will be avoided
Among other advantages at King Hill which are
appreciated by hortcuursts, for the intensive applica
ton of horticulture the following: Hghclass soils;
long seasons; water and air drainage and air
CURRENTS ertreme of Winter to injure fruits. While
the temperature at King Hill was 10 above zero, it
from 20 to 25 below throughout other fruit sections of
the Northwest
There are fruit sections and fruit belts and choice
fruit locations within fruit belts. King Hill IS choice

for the growing of any speciality the culture of decdu
fruits, of the sem-tropcal, such the
Flame Tokay and other tender grapes also the Almond
and English Walnut.
The growing of the highgrade and export apple
is limited to the arid Northwest and this belt is also
limited, following down the Columbia River from North
of the Canadian line and the Snake River to Central
Idaho; hence the entire demand, which includes the
worlds markets. must necessarily be supplied from this
limited and arid According to the United States
Crop Reports the yield Of apples has been rapidly de-
creasng until it is less than half what it in 1890.
Hence the special values which must exist here for the
specially high-grade apple
Advertising matter is generally taken with grain
of SALT and opportunities are often lost to the investor
on this account
The King Hill section zciI be built up from under
estimation of true conditions, rather than oUeresma
ing 1T.
Experience has proven that the small acreage tracts
under intensive culture insure maximum returns, hence
the especial opportunities they exist at King Hill for
investment and home building, because OF the small
tracts to be offered by the GILMORE DEVELOP
MENT COMPANY, LTD. at its sale, May 2oth
1909.
The small acreage tract IS seldom offered and is IN
greatest demand. At King Hill may secure PIP, 5
1Oacre tracts adjoining the town site, making the
values two-fold: Income from the land, under nten-
culture and the increase value for residence prop
erty the town grows The large returns from
small acreage appeal to people who retiring from
commercial life and desire to reestablsh themselves in
home, well profitable business and for this
the small tracts offered at King Hill present
exceptional opportunity for investments far better than
buying doubtfully improved orchards at high values
THE nezg orchard is the improved orchard
On May Goth, the ELMORE DEVELOP
MENT CO., LTD, the Townsite Company of the
King Hill Irrigation & Power Co.. interests, will place
sale business and residence lots and acreage tracts
within and adjoining the Town of King Hill. The

lating to the pending inquiry before

Railway company with the United
States Steel corporation.
The papers were given out after
conversation between the attorney

of the committee in which 1t was as
certained that there would be no OBJ
lection to their publication. They in
clude a letter, dated January 16, from
Senator Clark to the attorney general
informing him that the sub-commit-
tees having the matter in charge
would meet on January q, and will
be glad to have you appear before 1t
II you desire to do so and If you de-
sire any matter which you may see
proper to submit"
In acknowledgment Of this letter the
attorney general wrote on January 20
saying:
imperative official engagements
would make 1t difficult for me to be
present at the time mentioned and l
think | can render all the assistance
which is in my power to the commit
tee by transmitting to you in this let
ter statement of the facts known
by the department"
The letter states the facts as set
forth in the presidents message to
congress on the subject; states that
the writer advised the president that
the transaction standing alone did not
constitute violation of the antitrust
law and that the presidents course
"wss strictly appropriate under the
law"
The letter closes with a statement
that the department Of justice has
always been ready to prosecute the
United States Steel corporation or any
other corporation or individual which
committed a violation Of the Jaw.

eral that he had been subpoenaed to

NEW GUARANTY PLAN.
Kansas Governor Would Make 5anka
Deposit Bonds With state.

Topeka, Jan. 2S.-GoU Stubs and
the friends of his administration be-
lleve that they have found the solu-
ton Of the problem Of q bank deposit
guaranty law. Ever since the agita'
ton Of this question was inaugurated
in Kansas It has been the proverbial
white elephant" for the statesmen.
Last fall both parties adopted plank
in their platforms favoring the plan.
The Democrats insisted upon a COM
pulsory guaranty measure to force the
banks to guarantee their depositors
under the supervision Of the state.
This is the oklahomE plan and the
supreme court of that state has held
that the law is constitutional 1t has
never been tested in the higher
courts.
II the governors plan becomes q
law each bank in the state will be
asked to deposit with the state treas
urer $500 worth Of national, state,
township or school bonds for every
100000 on deposit These bonds will
be held as a guarantee that the banks
will pay their assessment to the state
guaranty fund when drawn upon BY
the bank commissioner for their pro
portion Of any deficit occasioned by q
bank failure where the assets Of the
deiunct concern will not meet Its h
abilities to depositors.
When q bank fails the bank commits
sioner will liquidate Its Affairs and
will issue a certificate Of deposit Il
It's depositors bearing 8 per cent in
terest. II the depositor is pressed fol

tihcate at par. After thte failed
banks affairs have been liquidated, 1
Il is found that there are not sufilcien
funds to pay every deposltor his full
claim, tho bank commissioner draw

rs to his duty In the preniScs. and by
direction Of the president he submit
ted the facts to the attorney general
for an opinion.
The attorney general in reply held
section six Of the act to establish the
department of commerce and labor,
while authorizing the collection by In
uuisitorial process of information by
the commissioner of corporations pro
yides that only SO much Of this infor-
nation as the president may direct
shall be made public. The attorney
general shows that this limitation on
the use of the information SO collected
was in conformity with the intend
ment Of the fourth amendment to the
constitution, was recognized and COM
mented on in the debates in congress
preceding the adoption of the law and
was in accordance with settled de-
partmental practice.
He calls attention to the two in
stances in the prosecution Of the
Beef Trust" and in the prosecution OF
The "Tobacco Trust" in which his own
representatives had been denied ac-
cess to records in the custody of the
commission Of corporations; quotes an
opinion Of Caleb Gushing, then attor-
ney general, to the effect that separ-
ate resolutions Of either house Of con-
Eress have no legal effect to constrain
the action Of the president or OF the
heads Of departments and points out
that under the terms Of section 8 OF
the same act, either house may OBJ
tain information Of this character
when desired, by resolution direct
ing an investigation and report by the
secretary of commerce and labor.
The attorney general adds that 1t
would be proper for the commissioners
to refer the matter to the president,
transmit to him If practicable, the
documents, and thus enable him to
determine what portion Of the data de-
sired would be suitable for disclosure
by communication to the sub-commit-
tee of the senate.
He states that the subpoena was
strictly construed, requires the pro
duction only Of documents relating to
both corporations, not Of documents
relating to either one Of them but says
he gives his advice, without regard
to any question Of mere form.

Many people all over the world
know the statuesque figure OF
knight in shining armor which occu-

metropolitan museum. Hundreds have
approached the circle Of ratings
which surrounds it, have gazed, ad-
mired, and come away; but only 10
three persons in the world Is It's Sc

plain the mystery-in all human prop

Various theories have been broached

Following an evening with my
friend the sculptor Foulard, put In
an appearance at the studio the next
morning not long after nine o'clock
The night before Foulard had told me
Of remarkable dream. He had been
commissioned some time before, IL
seemed, to carve the figure Of q wora'
an listening. The statue was to go
in the hall Of o great musician. Be-
fore attempting anything in marble he
decided to work out his idea In some
softer material, and consequently had
a huge block Of chalk brought to the
work room. Foulard's dream Of which
he had told me previous to my matl-
final visit was that he had seen vivid
" in a dream the features Of the stat
ne he was about to carve. Not only
had be seen the features, but the OK
preston Of the face and poise OF the
body were all deeply stamped on his
mind.
Getting on" cried Foulard, cheer
lily, as he saw me.
He must have worked all night. The
result Of his labor was marvellous
and, If one had not known the nature
Of the material, absolutely incredible.
