OPEN TWO MILLION
ACRES
THROWS OPEN
INGTON, IDAHO AND MONTANA
TO SUPPORT $4,000 PEOPLE.

Two million acres of agricultural
lands in Idaho, Washington a1d
Montana and 10000 acres of irri-
gated lands on reservations in the
last two states will be thrown open
to settlement by the government this
year. When under cultivation these
lands will support 100000 persons.
In addition, private projects adding
approximately 100000 acres to the
irrigated areas in Washington, Ida
no, Montana and Oregon, will be
started this and next year, to be COM
pleted and in operation before the
close of 1911. These reclaimed areas
will afford homes for 100000 per-
sons, as irrigated land is supposed to
be capable of supporting one person
to every two, acres.
1t is officially announced that three
reservations in Washington, Idaho
and Montana will be opened the mid
die of next August. They are: The
Flathead reserve in Montana, 1,200.-
900 acres; the Colville reserve in
eastern Washington, 100000 acres,
and the Occur d'Alene reserve in
northern Idaho, 100000 acres. 1t is
given out that the registration per-
iod will begin the second week in
July in Spokane, Occur d'Alene, Ida
no, and Missoula and Kalispell,
Mont, where the. drawings will take
place 80 days after the first name is
registered. Many of those home
steads of 100 acres each are said to
be worth 500 an acre The for
tunate ones will get them for small
fraction of that amount
While government land in the ir-
rigated districts costs the settler only
the fee for entry, provided the home
steader resides on it and otherwise
complies with the provisions Of the
law, he will have to pay from $50 to
$50 an acre for water rights. This
is paid to the government in ten an
nual installments, the price depend
ing upon the cost of building. oper-

In addition, the state will make

of his exhibit at different times dur

him for each separate shipment. This
plan will give each county a chance

their districts in their season.
Please confer with others inter-

SW|MS RIVER TO
JOIN BRIDE
DRESSED IN WEDDING GAR
MENTS PLUNGES INTO CREEK
-MISSOURIAN MAKES EFFORT
TO GET TO FIANCEE ON HORSE
(By Associated Press.)

Poplar Bluff, Mo: May 1S.-Ches-
ter Boyers, dressed in his wedding
garments, plunged into swollen Cane
creek and swan the torrent, deter
mined that he would be at the side
of his bride-to-be at the hour appoint
ed by the wedding ceremony. He
was there on time, but was a rather
wrinkled specimen of the ardent and
daring lover.
A dismayed group of attendants,
including the Rev. Mr.. Russell, of
the Bay Spring church, watched the
young man ride his horse into the
rushing stream and start for the
opposite shore. Their entreaties that
he wait until more pleasant means
of transportation could be procured
had been of no avail
The animal was swept below the
ford and Boyers was plunged to his
neck in the chilling stream, but was
undaunted, and struck out boldly for
the landing, which he reached.
He went to a small church, built
a fire, dried his clothes and proceeded
to the home of his sweetheart, Miss
Grace Shearkman, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. J. e. Shearkman.
Russell and three of the bride
groom's relatives were greatly dis
tressed on the far bank of Cane creek.
They had ridden to the usual cross
ing place in a wagon but could not
ford the tide. They finally found a
small canoe, in which, after des-
perate struggle, they crossed the
creek, which had developed into a
river.
Meantime, tired of waiting, the
briday couple decided on a horse
back ride, but while they were absent
the attendants arrived and soon
wearied OF waiting. Searching par

PRIZES FOR SUM-
MER FRUIT
MANAGEMENT OF A.-Y.-P. TO EN-
COURAGE THE DISPLAY OF
CHERRIES, BERRIES AND SUM-
MER FRUITS.

D. n. Gellatly, secretary CONNER
cial Club, Wenatchee, Wash, Dear
Sir: The accompanying letter will
explain what we have in mind in the
way of an exhibit in the state booth
at the exposition here.
Do you not think that an exhibit
shown in our booth would be more
direct benefit to your district than
an exhibit shown in the county booth?
We do not wish in any way to con-
f1ict with the county exhibit, but we
have undertaken something that no
one of the counties can carry through
and we will need the assistance of
the growers in every district.
The growers generally do not ap-
&reciate the fact that in this state we
grow varieties of cherries that can be
shipped to the Chicago market with
out refrigeration. and the eastern
buyers do not know that from our
growers they can obtain a continuous
supply of cherries from June to Oc-
tober.
In order that this branch of fruit
growing may be given the prominence
it deserves the state will undertake
to carry a continuous exhibit Of
cherries from June to October and to
feature berries, grapes and other
fruits In their booth at the Alaska
Yukon-Pacific exposition. II by
these means we can open a new mar
ket for any of your fruits, we think
the return to growers will be such as
to warrant your best efforts in as
sisting us to successfully carry out
the plan outlined above by securing
fruits in your district for this ex-
hibit
To encourage shipments. the state
will offer SIS, SIS and $40 for the
best exhibits sent us from any county
~ district at any time during. the
month of June, and like awards for
each month of the exposition. These
exhibits may include cherries, berries,

ers room, commercial room and free
hand drawing room, three recitation
rooms, boys and girls toilets.
The second floor will contain the
science department, including physi-
cal laboratory, chemical laboratory
with private laboratories to each;
also botany and zoology laboratories
and specimen room, lecture room
and one recitation room. The assem-
bly, room balcony will also be reached
from this floor.
There are three separate entrances
to the building from the front and
each end.
Also private entrance from the rear
for use of field and track teams, so
arranged that access may be had to
these utilities without giving general
admission to the building. Provi-
sions are also made for visitors to
the gallery of the gymnasium with
out opening up the building general
ly. The building will front north
west, facing the small triangular
park at the corner of King street and
Douglas street.

The Palisade Light, Heat & Power
Company has received an order from
the Water Users Association for B.
400 feet of s. and 10-inch steel rivet
pipe, to be used in piping Main street
from the Price ditch to Eighth street.
The association has advertised for

run the water to their ranches.
Messrs. Clark and Beggs have also
ordered 500 feet of 6-inch steel pipe
for conducting the water to their
places.
The improvements will be of the
best and will be greatly appreciated.
The dykes on Eighth street will be
cleared away, and also the dykes
through the property of private own
ers. thus reclaiming considerable val

The Pecos Palisades.

Has already gained its friends
amongst the premier fruit growers of
America-those of the Western slope,
Colorado, where fruit lands sell at
$1,000 to $4,000 per acre. On one
excursion recently, experienced fruit
growers from the towns of Grand
Junction and Palisades bought $780,
600 worth of land and reserved four
additional sections for friends These
men have ordered fruit trees and will
begin at once the establishment of
the Pecos Palisades, new district
which they claim will equal if not
excel any other fruit section in Am
erica. The Western slope farmers
are selling their high priced fruit
land and buying at $40 an acre the
productive fruit lands in Pecos val
ley.
