Recognition of Idaho

The visit of Secretary of Agri-
culture Wilson to Idaho, last week,
marks a vet greater recognition OF
the importance of this state, in the
estimation of the national admins
tration than it has ever before en-
joyed. The day is apparently over
when this commonwealth shall be
passed as an immaterial member OF
the Nation, as it had been previous
to the wonderful awakening that
the last few years have witnessed
regarding its agricultural and other
wealth creating Possibilities and re-
sources. These are inestimable to
this time. No man can foretell
their gigantic magnitude. No one
can measure the large extent to
which irrigation will carry Idaho
RAPIDLY onward toward a position
as one of the most populous and
prosperous of states. Twin Falls

Trowbridge-Niver Souvenir.

The Index has received copy
of very dainty booklet issued bv
the Trowb1idge & Niver Co. as q
souvenir of the bankers excursion
through the West. conducted by
that company. The book contains
18 illustrations of scenes en- route,
among which are three from the
Emmett country. One of them
shows the Emmett band in action,
another pictures the Ladies al
Emmett capturing the crowd, .
and the third shows the Canyon
Canal country" A picture is also
printed of the silver loving cup
which the guests presented to the
Trowbridge & Niver Co. as a
token of their esteem and apprecia-
ton. Accompanying the gift was
a letter, an extract from which
NAV be interesting as showing the
impressions made upon the party
by the West:
'OVer a journey covering 4OOO
miles and visiting sections no
longer experimental, situated IN
FIVE states, we may sum up the re-
suit in a paraphrase of well
known sentence and say, we came
we saw you conquered
"Fairv stories have become gos-
pei truths. Seeming exaggeration
now appears as but the restraint of
modesty. The adjudged impossible
has been demonstrated as common
place. The wilderness and the
solitary place has indeed been n.ade
glad and the desert has blossomed
as rose. The trip has been an
education. More than
ever are we proud of our great
country and of the men of large
vision and broad outlook who have
given themselves to the substantial
work of reclamation of these vast
tracts of supposedly waste territory.
If their reward is large, 1t is
largely deserved?"

$50 soon as the right of way
through the valley and terminals
at Emmett are secured, active con-
struction work on the Payette
Valley railroad extension from
New Plymouth to Emmett will
begin, and your city can celebrate
this country's natal day and the
completion Of the road on the same
date, and all of Payette. New Ply
mouth and Falks Store will be on
hand 10 rejoice with you.
That was the statement made
Yesterday afternoon by H. E. Dunn,
general manager of the Payette
Valley railroad, commonly called
"The Pumpkin Vine, at meet
ing of number of citizens. him
self and c. R. Lattig, engineer OF
the road. Sufficient steel and ties
are already on hand for the entire
road bed and Mr.. Dunn is prepared
to at once put large construction
force in the field. He also has Sc
cured whatever funds may be need
ed. This latter was settled last
week at meeting of Salt Lake
capitalists, who approved of MI.
Dunn's plans and made an approp-
ration sufficient to cover the eX-
pense of construction, of adequate
rolling stock, depots and other
buildings.
There are no ''ifs'' and "ands"
concerning the building of this
road. Mr.. Dunn's assurance on
this score to the business men who
met with him Yesterday was posi-
tive. All Emmett and the valley
as far as Falks Store are asked to
dc is to secure right of way and
terminals. And Emmett S response,
as voiced by those present at the
meeting, was equally positive and
characteristic of the well known
Emmett spirit when matters of I'M
portance are presented. The glad
hand was extended to this new en-
terpriSe and assurance. given OF tne
hearty cooperation of this entire
community.
The extension of the Payette
Valley road is Of great Importance
to the valley through which it will
pass as we'll as to this city. The
development of the many thousands
of acres of fertile land between
this city and New Plymouth,
which are now handicapped by lack
of transportation facilities, will re-
ceive an impetus that will make this
the richest agricultural and fruit
growing valley in the Northwest.
To the road itself it will be of no
less importance. The tonnage that
will be developed and the passeng-
er traffic that will result will mean
fair returns for the capital invested.

Chicago Exhibit

city as Chicago, are bound to at

proposed exhibit will be a very
creditable one. The Trowbrigde &

Dunn and His Road

There is no more popular rail-
road man than H. E. Dunn. From
the day his road to New Plymouth
was put in operation to the present
time he has used his utmost en-
deavor to give his patrons the best
accommodations and good service.
For a steam railroad his methods
have been unique. He stops his
train anywhere along the line to
take on passengers, or a basket of
eggs, a box OF vegetables.a crate of
fruit or a dozen chickens, In short,
the farmer who lives several miles
from depot has the same advant-
age regard to small shipments
as those farm abuts on the de-
pot grounds.

ENROLMENT IS LARGE
Number of Pupils Attending
Schools is 658

The city schools opened Monday
morning with an enrolment OF
65S. ali increase of 100 over last
year and 209 over two years ago al
the same time. Many of the school
looms are crowed, one teacher hav-
ing 81 pupils and several so and
over. The increase in the enroll
ment of High school pupils is 20.
Superintendent Barry estimates the
total enrolment this year will pass
the 700 mark.
Owing to the necessity of utiliz-
ing vacant store rooms and other
buildings until the new building is
completed, both teachers and pupils
are working under great disadvant
ages, but all are endeavoring to
make the best of the unfavorable
circumstances. The Methodist
church was found to be unsuitable
for school purposes and the new city
hall has Deen substituted in its
stead. The corps of teachers is
now complete. At a meeting iof
the board Monday night, Miss Mel
cher was EMPLOYED to assist in
High school work and teach Ger
man.

Durham brothers and Andy Mel
son are packing, c. P. Hartley

paying $50 a ton, which breaks
the record for prices in this section.
The fruit is very fine quality, most
of the crates being 5-5's, that is FIVE
rows each way. The best prunes
this veaI come from the Heath and
Jones orchards and are without
doubt the best ever shipped out of
this place, which is saving good

Injured in Runaway

Price Bane and James Little were
injured in a runaway while return
ing home from Boise on Saturday.
When three miles out of towu, a
bolt that held one end of the wagon
tongue to the running gears broke
and the horses took fright. Mr..
Little was thrown over the dash
boaro when the wagon went into a
ditch, and he was painfully bruis
ed. Mr.. Baue lit in a barb wire
fence and besides being severely
cut upon one wrist and both legs,
his pants were torn into shreds and
he had to return to Boise for
another pair. The wagon was
completely wrecked, but the horses
escaped uninjured.

Dewey Extension

There will be something doing
on the Idaho Northern before long.
There is no let up in the prepara-
tions that have been carried oa all
summer, and we'll grounded ru-
NOR is current that the road is to
be extended to the forks of the
river at an early date, with Pay
ette lakes as the goal. Color is
given to this rumor by the pres
ence in Long Valley this week of
Tom Horne. general manager OF
the Utah-Idaho Sugar Co. Mr..
Horne's mission in the upper
country is to interest the farmers
in sugar beet growing. The con-
nection of Mr.. Horre's beet cam
paign in Long Valley is that there
would be no object in growing
beets in that section unless trans
portation is provided to haul the
product TO the Nampa factory, and
it is argued he must have assurance
from the Idaho Northern that the
road will be extended. According
to statement of prominent citi-
zen of Salmon City, who was in
this section few days ago, a
branch of the Pittsburg & Gilmore
railroad is to be built from Salmon
City to the lakes and connection
made with the Dewey line, which
will eventually become the main
line to Coos Bay. The route is a
feasible one.

which radium is extracted. The
object of sending out samples is to
encourage Investigations TO ascer-
tain whether such deposits exist in
this western country.

Some Potatoes

Talking about potatoes, Bert
Sherard claims the medal, and it
looks as if he was entitled to it.
Any way, the prodigal fertility of
the soil in the Emmett country is
proven by the story he tells. Bert
has small patch of ground west of
the ditch in Zimmerman addition.
Last spring he planted II rows 70
feet long to potatoes, using 40
pounds of seed. He has just dug
his spuds and has a few pounds
over a ton for his harvest.
