The Richfield recorder. (Richfield, Idaho) 1909-1931, 1909-05-06


Dietrich, the new town to be op-
ened June Sth, as the principal place
OF business for the Dietrich segrega-
tion of the Idaho Irrigation company
lands in Lincoln County, promises to
make the most brilliant start of any
new town in the history of the state.
The land is the very finest-and
there are nearly $4,000 acres of it
all tributary to the new town. This
is enough to make it prosperous. Lo-
Gated on the main line of the Oregon
Short Line, with everything to start
and keep it right, with the water
coming in for the next seasons s crop,
with every acre within easy distance
of the railroad, with a fine climate
and unsurpassed water supply, Die
trich ought to do just what it is
expected to do-grow like the proven
bial weed.
The town is to be laid off in the
latest, most approved style 1t has
magnificent location, sloping just
enough to make easy draining and
good outlook. 1t is between seven
and eight miles east of Shoshone, far
enough to make it 2 good location for
good town With so much land
tributary to it, it must at once take
a place as a top-notcher.
The Idaho Irrigation company is
having drawn the plans for a sS5, 900
hotel, for the building of which bids
are to be asked within the next week.
1t is of particularly handsome design,
with every convenience and comfort
known to hotel life 1t is to be ready
for occupancy this fall. The company
plans to be ahead of the town, in
giving Accommodations to the army of
town builders who come in to settle
and to start business.
A number OF Boise investors, at
least II in number have agreed to
go in and build several stores, a bank,
and other buildings, at once; they
have investigated the possibilities un-
Iii they are convinced that it offers !
/ golden opportunity for the business
man and the investor. No other
own in all the history of the Irrigat-
I'd West can show such an array of
)aid-for-in-advance business houses,
hotels and other business conven-
ences. With most towns, growth is
more or less only what the develop
nents of the day demand; in Dietrich
t will start full fiedged, and on city
Gale.
Town lots and lands at Dietrich
'ught to be at a great premium.

CAUGHT HER ABOUT THE

Sure" responded Fred. "He
has the self-conseious actions of a
man seeking marriage license"
you've hit the nail ON the
mark" Sam Davis answered. 1--WE
noticed that fellow three times in
the last three years. He comes
from the country districts some
where. Once each year for three
years he has been here, each time
with a different girl, and makes
about license. I be-
lieve he holds the palm as the

it is that he has backed out each

Look, he's coming new. And, by

raw-boned individual, approached
the window with the girl, properly
blushing, hanging on to his arm.
1--WE want to get a marriage IL

high-pitched voice.
Certainly. Sam replied. "Just

Sam and Fred bent over the
register as the youth affixed his
signature, and read era Fisher"

here before" said. Sam, in a con-
versational tone.
Ira colored. The girl also looked
embarrassed and glanced at the
floor.
"Well, you see," stammered Ira,
'there wasn't any-that Is. they
wasn't this girl, was they?"
Sam laughed, as did Fred, but
they stopped suddenly. With a sob
the girl wrenched her arm away
from Ira and dashed out of the
room. Ira tore after her.
Now you've done IT," declared
Fred. TITS up to you to repair the
damage. What in Sam Hill did you
want to tell her about the fellows
other girls for?"
The two hurried from the room
after the couple. In the hall they
saw Ira standing near pillar,
hopping his face, while farther
down the hall the girl was In the
enveloping arms of three other

The porter wondered what was

in, and a big rooster nipped it.
He delivered it and then told the
manager.
When the house detective and a
brigade of bell boys entered the
Walker suite, they found the
rooster and four acknowledged
hens scratching the velvet carpet,
hunting for worms.
Mrs Walker wept when told the
chickens had to go.
