Land values are steadily increasing,
not because of any improvements that
may have been made, but because of
the demand for it and because it is
worth it. Land that sold for $50 and
$50 a year ago is selling again read
lily at 800 to $3.50. For this reason
the greater portion Of the acreage,
not only of the new land, but also of
the old farms, are being cut up into
small holdings for intensive cultiva-
ton, so that there is plenty of land
for acquisition. 1t is being demon
strated right here every year that 20
acres will provide a family with a

seeker will soon find himself in full

Emmett is one of the thriftiest
towns of the state. Few other sec
tions, if any, are blessed with so fine
a climate or so progressive a class Of
people. With the completion of the
canyon canal and other Improvements
that are to follow, the town gives
abundant promise of becoming a city
of 10000 people within the next few
years. A locality more highly favored
by nature can not be found in the
entire northwest. The soil is of the

The contract for a complete munich

plant will consist of a gallon
steel tank, water mains on the princi-

both electric and gasoline motors for
driving the pumps, and a well of the
purest water $50 feet deep. A city

best, the winters are remarkably mild,
the temperature seldom falling below
a few degrees beyond the freezing
point, and the early spring, fully two
weeks earlier than the famed Boise
valley all go to make Emmett a most
desirable residence point as well as
profitable for fruit, stock and grain
growing. Located on the banks of the
Payette. the highway that pierces the
great pine forests of Idaho, the town
has already built up a big lumber
business, which only awaits the in
vestment of more capital to be one of
the leading industries Of southwestern
Idaho. Emmett may be counted as
one Of the coming cities of southern
Idaho.

NORMAN MINER Is FREE.
People He FTceced Ask to Have the
Charges Dropped.

Norman Meinhoid, charged with
passing several hundred dollars worth
of worthless checks on the merchants
of Topeka and leaving his securities
to pay several hundred dollars more
on notes he had given, has been freed
by joint action of his creditors.
Meinhold had fed to Philadelphia
in a roundabout way, eluding the
search of the officers. There he was
captured by local officers just as he
was about to enter into a position
with a big electrical concern, and
Deputy Sheriff Sauls was sent to bring
him back here.
Attempts were made at different
times by his friends to settle up his
accounts but were begun too late. The
Edison people for whom he had work
ed were active in this. Now the COM
plete list of creditors have brought a
petition to Judge Simon and with the
approval of the county attorney, Mem
hold was released.
Nearly $40O in costs are added to
the original Indebtedness, Meinhold
has satisfied all that he will settle
everything at an early date and will
go back to Philadelphia where his
wife, who is now visiting his family in
Brooklyn, will join him.

The Dyspepsia
OF Old Age
Strong Digestion and an Adequate

Long and Healthy Life.

There is a process known as meta

down and cast off.
So long as the due relation between
waste and supply is maintained. nutfl-
ton, and the various functions of the
body are continued. But after middl,
life and in old age there comes a time
when waste exceeds supply, and when
the various elements which constitute
the different fluids, tissues and organs
no longer hold their due proportion, and
the principle of life itself becomes en-
feebled. the body no longer having
power to assimilate new material as il
once did.

unimpaired, life could be prolonged al

There are many old persons in whose
stomachs the gastric function is almost
entirely suspended. When this trouble
occurs, the problem is, how to digest
the food and get along without the
natural stomach juices. There Is but
one way to overcome the effects of this
condition, and that is to supply arti-
ficially TO the stomach a powerful di-
gestive substance to take the place of
the juices which 1t fails to secrets
naturally.
For this purpose, there is nothing
