BOOM CONTINUES
AT TWIN FALLS
Long on Optimism, Short on Soil
and Land Quality. Mountain Home
People 10 Locate There.

Mr.. and Mrs. J. H. Hawkins re-
turned from their Twin Falls trip
last Saturday night. Mr.. Hawkins
is very enthusiastic over the Twin
Falls country and is closing out his
business here in order to move down
and open up store there. He has
rented fine building in an excellent
location and will open up a big de-
partment store with large and COM
plete stock. Mr.. Hawkins was par
ticularly impressed with the ''boost-
ing that seemed to have gotten
ahold of everybody down there.
Why he stated, ''even the buns
are out boosting for Twin Falls.
Everyone seems to be Feeling good
and anxious to tell you what a good
country they have. People are con-
genial and hospitable and anxious to
make you feel at home and get you
interested in their town and country
in the hopes that they may make a
new resident. Everything is hustle
and boom. At the banks and the
postoffice, people wait in long lines to
be waited on. Hotels and rooming
houses are crowded and money circu-
lates freely. Although the country
does not compare in any sense of the
word with our own Mountain Home,
still there is spirit of hustle and
boost iii Twin Falls that is bringing
people in and making them feel salts
Fl ed. -
We regret to lose Mr.. Hawkins
from the city's business interests, but
trust he will meet with success ir
, his new location.

Entire Nous EntertainS Husbands

Last Thursday evening the Entire
Nous club gave it's annual party to
their husbands at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Harry Lamberton. The
magnificent home, the splendid de-
corations giving token of the incom-
ing year, all helped make this the
most successful and enjoyable event in
the history of the club.
Over one hundred were present at
the party and were entertained by
various games while they waited the
dawn of the new year. The clocks
were watched very closely near the
midnight hour and when the hands ar
rived at twelve announcing the new
year of 1909 the air was rent with mer-
ry shout of Happy New Year To
ALL
A we'll appointed luncheon was
served at the beginning of the new
year to which those present did full
Justice After the tables were
cleared away dancing was indulged in
until an early hour. The McKibbin
orchestra furnished music throughout
the evening and for the dance.
The party was a complete success
and the most brilliant social gathering
that has yet been given in the city
and will be long remembered by
those who were fortunate enough to
be present

TRIBUTE TO
GROWING IDAHO
Gem State TO Become Richest in the
Union.---Pr0fit in Suger
BeetS

The great change of bringing ID,
900, 600 acres of land that were once
but desert under cultivation is steadi
ly going on in Idaho. AS fast as
water can be supplied the transform
atlon is made, and now lands that
We're worth less than ST an acre fifteen
years ago are selling in the entire
state almost, with water attached at
$3.50.
Everything grows in the soil of Ida
no so soon as moisture be sup
piled. Her fruit ranks among the
very finest in the world, it's abundance
is wonderful, and the markets are
waiting for it, no matter how much
can be produced
The state still maintains its min
ing prestage. The yield from the
northern mines is very great. There
is just enough mining to give mar
ket for all the state can produce in
the way of agriculture and horticul-
ture.
The region around the new water
works is fast becoming sugar re-
gion. We believe that one ranch up
there had 200 acres of sugar beets.
l. SeeiIlS " Dt especially dudpIed ioA
that purpose, and we do not see how
any catastrophe can come to the in
dustry, because with the utmost ex-
ertion the increased amount of sugar
every year does not keep up with the
increased demand, and millions and
+. millions of dollars are paid for i'm
ported sugar
Idaho will have more land under
cultivation fifteen years hence than
the great state of New York; it will
produce just twice per acer over the
ordinary eastern land, and the prices
of the products will be just about
twice as high 1t is an ideal place
for the farmer and the horticulturist
to work the climate is among the
very best in the world and genera
Eion hence, the Gem State should be
one of the richest in the Union. -

GRAND VIEW
HORTICUL LTURISTS
Form Association Of Fruit Growers
to Promote Its Fruit Lands and
Encourage Growers.

Grand View now boasts of one of
this section Of the state. Several
weeks ago Prof. Littooy was invited
down to the valley to meet the ranch
ers and give them talk at the
school house. How well his efforts
were taken is evidenced in the COM
pletion of their new association.
Grand View is unlimited in possibil-
tiles for fruit culture and the fact is
beginning to dawn upon many who
have land there and have been grow
ing alfalfa and grain instead of
fruit This is one of the first in
stances in the history of fruit belts
where an association has been. formed
before the trees were set out. and the
wisdom of such move is far reach
ing and will result in permanent ad-
vantages that could in no other way
have been obtained All trees can
be purchased by the association at
the lowest possible figures. and by
sending an expert direct to the nurs-
cries, best stock can be selected and
no inferior stuff These trees will
be planted, trained and taken care Of
under expert guidance and every little
detail watched and turned to advan-
ta0e. Can anyone doubt the outcome
of the Grand View valley with such
an association to start with? Hurrah
for Grand View Let Mountain Home,
Medbury and a few other communities
fall into line.
At the meeting the following off,
GERS were elected to serve for the
coming year:
President N. G.. Massey
Vice President c. K. Lawrence
Sec. Treas. Scott Brown
Horticulturist J. F. Littooy
This association and their efforts
will be watched with no little inter
est. We know they will meet with
success because we know the men at
the wheel But, their method will
be interesting and we will be pleased
to report their growth and develop
ment from time to time.

for treasurer and voters went to the
polls and voted for Frank we'll know
ing the county's finances would be
well taken care of. Frank is well
thought of in the community and no
office within the gift of the people is
too good for him. We know he will
acquit the Office at the end of his term
with credit to himself and honor to
the county and wish him success.
The balance of the ticket has been
tried and found true. They are hold

"The Golden Girl"

The Nashville American recently
had the following to say of THE
Golden Girl" which is booked to ap-
PEAR at the Grand Thursday night:
Not often does a musical play make
so unqualified and decided a ten-strike
with Nashville audience as did The
Golden Girl at the Vendome last
night. when 1t was presented for the
first of three performances, the other
two coming this afternoon and tonight.
The Golden Girl is strictly a show
piece in the true sense of the word,
consisting of glittering color, brilliant
costumes, vociferous singing, and vic
lent dancing. The performers showed
not only technical skill and grace. but
an ardOr and enthusiasm that was re-
fEeshingly delightful. The ensemble
! effects, the intricate drills, the clever
ly managed light effects and the cos
tunes, of every variety of length and
brevity, of fullness and scantiness-
all these made up a whole that was
constantly interesting and amusing
and refreshing"
