is IN LINE WITH HIS
POLICY OF ECONOMY
Scheme of General Staff for In
creased Force Gets
Hard Blow.

President Taft has ordered a reduction
IN the size of the standing army. This
action was taken by him despite the
pleadngs Of the General STAFF Corps and
army officers generally. 1t is in line
with his plans of rigid economy The
standing fighting strength Is TO be re-
duced to the extent of approximately
5000 men, bringing the total strength
Of the army down to $1,000 men, 200o0
less than that authorized by law. The
reduction is to be made during the
present fiscal year
The President has issued instructions
TO officials Of the War department "a
make this reduction. and TO have not
more than $1,000 men all told In the
ranks on July I next. This $1,000 is TO
include 1000 men In the Hospital Corps
$500 men in the Philippine Scouts. and
as many more in the service school de-
tachments, who cannot properly be con-
sidered as fighting strength Of the army.
The Presidents order was a death
blow TO the plans Of the General Stan
for a general increase.

ANOTHER GREAT
CAREY DRAWING
I. 3. Perrine Tells of Opportunities
Offered In Land Noar Twin
Falls, Idaho.

I B. Perrine. traffic manager Of the
Idaho Southern railroad, Is one Of the
leading fruit growers OF the Gem state.
in addition to being railroad official,
and Is man of affairs with a keen
insight into the business possibilities
of his section. He states that the city
of Twin Falls, which has been in en-
istence only four years, now has pop
ulatlon OF 5000
The growth OF the place has been
simply wonderful said Mr.. Pcrrino
this morning. while Il Ia an agricul-
banks In Twin Fnlls now have on de-
poslt over S1,00O,000. Contracts have
already been let and work has begun
on business blocks which when com
pleted Will cost fully million dollars
One of these will be a six story bank
building, to be constructed by the own
ers of the Mccormick bank in this city.
That whole country Is rapidly COM
ing 10 the front" continued Mr. Per
rlne. "A tract Of $4,000 acres OF Carey
act land is to be thrown open on Feb
ruary s, and the tract contains some
of the best fruit land In the state
Now my hobby is fruit raising, and l
know whereof I speak. This land is
situated west OF the Twin Falls coun-
try, and tho town OF Bliss, on the main
line of the Oregon Short Line. Is in
the center of the tract. The soil is
composed Of decomposed lava, OF what
Is known as volcanic ash, q sandy
loan. and is uneXcelled for fruit grow
ing purposes The drawing Will be
n
former Carey act drawings, and many
Salt Lake people Will say that they
have been well satisfied with what
they got in former drawings,
I'VE have received q large emigra-
ton from Colorado and other eastern
states. but it may be surprising to
know that the biggest part OF our set
tiers come from the northwest-over
in the fruit raising section of Wash
ington and Oregon, like Wenatchee
and Hood river The water for the
tract is to he had from an extension Of
the Twin Falls North Side canal out OF
Snake river, and what is known as the
Glover Creek valley will be irrigated
by the waters thus secured. There are
100000 ceres Of land now nnder irri-
cation surrounding Twin Falls, and
within another year 100. 900 acres more
Will be brought under water.
"a pleasant feature of the trip to
Twin Falls now Is the through sleep
ing car service installed by the Ore
gon Short Line between Salt Lake and
Twin Falls. II is fact" declared Mr..
Perrine. that our people prefer to
come TO Salt Lake rather than go to
any other city for the reason that
they do not have to change cars at
Minidoka In order to get to Salt Lake.
Salt Lake Is the only city In the In
termountain west" concluded the gen
tleman, "and we all like to come here"
