Marvellous Growth
Ten New Towns, Nine New Banks, and
100000 Acres of Farms Added to
Lincoln County in Two Years

How many new towns have beer
starred in Lincoln county within the
past two years?
Perhaps few of the older residents
will believe, without stopping to
think, that precisely ten towns have
been launched here in this county
during that time. fhey are Rich
field, Dietrich, Gooding, Jerome,
Wendell, Hillsdale, Ticeska Tunupa
Appleton and Hartman. Ticeska is
west of Bliss; Tunupa is between
Gooding and Shoshone; Appleton is
between Jerome and Wendell; anC
last of all, Hartman is between
Wendell and Bliss, at the Mala6
bridge, on the line or the proposed
Rupert-Bliss road
Two years ago, there were bui
four banks in the county-at Sho
shone, Hagerman, Hepburn and Ru
pert. Now there are 3 in all-threo
in Gooding, two each In Jerome an6
Wendell, one more in Shoshone ane
one in Richfield.
The population of the county can.
not be closely estimated, but it has
increased in little if any less proper
tion to the number of towns and
of banks. Lincoln county is today
really one of the most strong coun-
ties of the state, financially, politi-
cally, numerically, geographically
If the Recorder owned a piece of
land in Lincoln county, and could
hold on to it. you wouldn't see that
land on the market, ror sale for any
little bonus. Lincoln county land is T
worth while. 1t is of the very choic- |
est of the Snake river valley lands;
not too high; not too low, but pro-
ductive and good for crops every
year. 1t is bound to go up in price,
and go up so rapidly that within the
next two or three years there will
be many thousands of acres of the
lands near any of the towns, selling
for $500 to $500 an acre. Lands
have already sold near Gooding, for
nearly 500 an acre, and even Good
ing isn't the only good town=here
is Richfield, with as good prospects,

of the country, saving the heavy
freights. The freight on enough OF
the boiled-down, concentrated ex-
tract of sage as prepared at the Sho-
shone factory, to make carload,
would not be more thay So or $6 to
Chicago; the freight on the amount
of finished, bottled product that it
would make, would be about 5000
The business saving is so self-evi-
dent that Chicago is likely to be
honored with a bottiing factory for
this Idaho product
Frank Wilmington, president and
general sales manager for the com
pany, has been on the road for
little more than year, during which
time he has made his Indian sign
one of the best known patent medi-
cine advertisements anywhere in the
West. He has been working mostly
in the Northwest, but they are now
going into Kansas City and farther
east, with splendid success. The
Eastern market starts out so crafty
ingly that the company plans to start
its Chicago branch, and sell an i'm
mense lot of stuff from there; pro-
badly more than all the West.
The company is almost entirely To-
cal, most Of the money-and it re-
quired lot of it-having been sub
scribed by Lincoln county investors.

Two hairs made to grow where

That is what the Sage Brush tonic
company is bringing to pass, in their
factory for making Sage Brush hair
tonic, the latest and best-though
the Oldest as well as the newest
discovery on the market for the pro-
lection of the human head from bald
ness.
The company has been in exis-
tence about two years, though the
factory was put in operation for the
sale of the company products only
a little more than year ago. Brief
ly, the process is to gather the ten
der tips of the sage plant, at the
time of blooming in early summer,
and cure them until the atmosphere
dries out most of the water; then
steam and boil them to extract the
essential oils of the sage, and use
this as the basis for the manufac-
ture of a hair tonic. 1t is an old

ages by the Indians of Idaho and

When it is storming in these
mountains the sun may be shining
as brightly in Richfield as it ever
shines and when it is raining at Rich
field there is often snow storm rag
ing in the mountains and when one
looks at the mountains all covered
with snow, the first thing that en-
ters his mind is that it is sure to
make it cold in Richfield, but such
is not the case and there is very lit
tie severe cold weather experienced
on the Richfield tract, but in the
summer, when the days are hot, as
soon as the sun goes down, one can
sit il the open air and breathe the
health giving ozone that blows from
the mountains.
When water is most needed for
irrigating purposes, in the hot sum-
mer months, it is then that the
snow on the mountains begins to
thaw and send the pure streams
the mountains, to be carried by the
rivers to the fertile valleys of the
Richfield tract, which one year ago
was nothing but sage brush desert,
but today has dozens of farm houses
and many beautiful fields of grain
scattered over the entire tract.
If the people in the eastern states
that admire scenery, desire to live
in a healthy land where everything
that is planted will yield a profitable /
harvest and where very little sick
ness is experienced, where there are
no cyclones, no electrical storms ana
no crop failures the Richfield tract

CAMP TALKS OF YALE.
Labels Harvard Dangerous,
but LaudS EleUen.

Walter Camp, Yales athletic mentor
opened his heart to some three hunureo
members OF the Yale Club at Boston OH
Thursday evening, and while he lapehed
Harvard as extremely dangerous, poihteu
out that Yale had of the best eleVehS
of recent years. He is quoted as follows:
The situation at New Haven is encouraS-
ing We have a great deal of good ma
terial and are fortunate In our coaches.
Howard Jones is man VINO never pidyS

portunity and gets the best there Is In

he had to come back with an injury but
he is all right now and will be himself IN
the big game. He and Philbln are the
stars of the backfield. If Philbin is MT he
is going to make trouble for the Crimson
team. As halfbacks Philbin and DAILY make
an excellent pair. The latter is aggressive
and speedy and at the same time steady.
There is no train of forgotten things be-
hind him.
The game has developed so much that
is new in recent years that II requires
something of a general for the position
OF quarterback, with a large experience
as requisite | think Yale is particu-
larly fortunate in Howe. He played on the
freshman team last year and has shown
up well.
The line this year, which is strong on
the defensive, is long on ends The game
to-day falls heaviest on the ends. When
running with the ball and throwing their
bodies they are open TO considerable in
jury For that reason long list of ends
has been provided. OF them all Kilpat-
rick, perhaps, is the most brilliant. He
is a man who does his best while working
under the excitement of the game. For
that reason the coaches have tried not to
spoil his spirit and have saved him for
critical work. Logan is another fine end,
with plenty of abandon and speed. In fact,
he and Fitzpatrick need curbing in this
respect, not to overtaX themselves.
Andrus and Goebel all that could he
desired as guards. The former is daShing
and sturdy. GOebe is steady and sure.
Team work. however. is not as important
as it used to be- and the success of the
team to-day depends upon the ability of
the individual player l feel that l can
safely say that the present Yale team
possesses more expert knowledge of the
game individually than any other team
that Yale has ever seen.
Apparently. Mr.. Camp made no mention
of the centre and tackle positions. where
/ the weakness. if any. of the Yale eleven
lies
