POTATOES FIND MARKET.
ldaho's Crop Has No Trouble to De-
mand High Prices.

''Idaho is the potato state of the
union" said Joel Priest, industrial
agent of the o. S.. L., the other day
after trip along the company's line.
Cup in the Blackfoot country the
average yield is $50 sacks per acre, and
some farms up there produce as high as
200 sacks per acre. AS potatoes are
worth from so to 55 cents per hundred
to the farmer, this means a gross in
come from potato land of from SIS to
S100 per acre per year.
''The Twin Falls district is new,
hardly year old, but the potato ship
ment from there is comparatively
heavy. We do not know just how many
cars there will be from that district this
fall, but in all Idaho will ship over $500
cars of potatoes this season out of the
state. Blackfoot will have 500 cars and
Idaho Falls fully 1000 cars more The
other cars are coming from other points
all over the Snake river valley.
''The other day saw car of Idaho
potatoes sent out to Pittsburg, Pa, and
now it is for Boston. They also go to
California, Kansas, Nebraska and other
states.
Whether or not the Idaho potato
can hold this Atlantic seaboard trade
remains to be seen. A good deal de-
pends on the railroad rates, of course.
Today the Idaho potato gets into Texas
with charge for freight of only 10 to
Is cents per hundred over the charge
on the Greeley, Colo, potato, and so
can reach Texas points.
wheat is a splendid crop in Idaho
this fall. Dry farming is yielding from
thirty-five to forty-five bushels per acre,
while irrigation is producing on new
land as high as seventy-seven bushels
of fine wheat per acre. The average
crop from irrigated land in Idaho this
fall is between fifty-four and fifty-fve
bushels per acre. One farm on the st.
Anthony branch of the Oregon Short
Line produces forty bushels per acre
dry farming over 157 acres.
"Oats are running about 100 bushels
per acre on irrigated new land. One
twenty-seven-acre tract yielded l20
bushels per acre"

Martin Wiederhold departed Tuesday
afternoon for Chicago where he will re-
main for some time. Martin has been a
resident of American Falls for over a
year and was one of our hustlers, and
his many friends here hated to see him
leave but his actions the past few
months gave vent to suspicious which
perhaps justify his visit to the Windy
City. While we do not say what the
direct object of his mission was, some
of our best guessers tried their skill in
this case and decided on decorations for
his trunk and suit case while at the de-
pot, and as Martin did not deny it we
wish to prepare our readers for news of
Martins actions after his arrival. We
would not dare to say that he intended
to get married but will predict that
when he returns to American Falls he
will not be alone. He expects to re-
main in Chicago for year at least but
his friends here hope he will change his
mind in this respe t. But no matter
where he makes his home he has the
best wishes of American Falls people.

HOTEL GRAND CHANGES HANDS
Eureka, Calf, Man Invests in Amer
ican Falls Property.

The Hotel Grand in this city. which
was completed and opened for business
in July was sold this week to H. w.
Jeans of Eureka, Calf, and possession
will be given December 1st. c. H.
Schroeder the present proprietor, has
other business interests in the city
which require his time and was com
PEELED to step aside from part of the
work. The deal was made through
VIM. Schmidt.
Hotel Grand is the finest equipped
second-class hotel in Idaho. The house
is three stories, contains fifty-two
rooms, single and ensuite, with baths
on every floor. The Office, reception
room and dining room are large and
well lighted. Mr.. Jeans is an expert
enced hotel man and comes to our city
with satisfied mind that it affords op-
portunities in his line which can not be
found in many towns of much larger
population.

Back From Washington.

{. L. Jones, Of Diamond, Wash.
made his second visit to American
Falls this week. In March of this wear
ne was here with party of five. three
of whom filed on land, but he was not
satisfied and returned to his Washing
ton home without taking advantage of
the golden opportunity. He waited at
home for the return of his old neigh
bors, half expecting to see them march
ing over the eastern hills. Because
they did not come he began to WORRY
and at last came again to see if they
had been telling him the truth. 1t was
too late when he. discovered that this
was the field of opportunities. and as
he drove over the acres which last
March would have been his for the
taking, he found homes and fields.
MIR. Jones purchased a REIMBURSEMENT
on the very tract he could have filed on
this spring, and considers himself very
lucky at that. He returned TO Wash
ington Wednesday and as soon as the
company. owning the BurrelI orchard.
for which he is foreman, will release
him he will move here and settle in the
Rockland country.

new ENTERPRISE
FOR our CITY
landry Will Be In Opera
lion by January lst.
Wnliam Schmidt Takes Advantage of
IL Opportunity Now Ripe and
will Establish Much Needed
Enterprise,

One thing follows another. This is a
fact which has always been known and
now that American Falls is on the map
with large red circle, capital does not
hesitate to invest. For some time the
laundry proposition for our city has
been talked and as our readers will
remember a stock company was partly
organized to finance such proposition,
but owing to the fact that some of the
main men in the company were working
on larger things, the matter was at a
stand still.
VIM. Schmidt, after investigating
the business from every view point,
could see that laundry was not only a
necessity for American Falls but would
also be a money maker, decided he
would undertake the matter alone.
Plans for building 35x5O will be out
by Tuesday of next week and work will
at once be commenced as it is the de-
sire of Mr.. Schmidt to have the laun-
dry in operation by January lst. The
building site has been selected at the
river front on Second street where
there is large opening of soft water
which flows three times the amount of
water necessary to operate the plant.
On Wednesday of this week Mr..
Schmidt met salesman at Pocatello,
representing a New York firm, and
closed deal for the machinery which
was telegraphed to the factory and will
be shipped at once. 1t is expected that
three to four weeks will be necessary
for transportation of the machinery
and by that time the building will be
ready. No money was spared in the
purchase of machinery as Mr.. Schmidt
Is not building this for the present
American Falls but has counted on a
much larger city the next two years
and his machinery is of the latest in the
line. The management does not in
tend to stop at American Falls. but will
establish agencies in various towns
along the 0. S. L. and with such a
plant as is planned and experienced
help there is little doubt but that they
will do most of the business for neigh
boring towns.
This enterprise is only another STEP
ring stone to the city American Falls
people are building around themselves,
md we welcome such news as the real
1xotion of our hopes.

to meet with the Eastern Idaho Press
club and extend assurances of desire
to cooperate in all matters having re-
lation to the betterment of the news
paper profession in Idaho. He and his
associates in the southwestern part of
the state, he said, were particularly in
terested in the matter of the new direct
primary law, and it was largely to hear
what the editors of the southeast had
to say on this question that he journeyed
across the state to be present at this
meeting.
"Mr. Burrows called the attention of
the club to many things which need
remedying, one of them being the prac-
tice of itinerants and strangers in work.
ing the moss-grown graft of getting out
advertising placards, advertising menu
cards, house plates, "Uncle Josh"
write-ups, and such like. The newspa-
permen of the southwest agreed not
long ago, after being repeatedly
''stung" by these gratis, to discourage
the proposition in every conceivable
way.
'The session revolved itself into a
sort of experience meeting, each editor
present who had at one time or another
"fell for" some sort of graft giving his
ideas on the best way to avoid similar
pitfalls in the future"
The primary law was taken up and
discussed from one end to the other.
Mr.. Lisle made very interesting talk
on this subject and showed that he had
thoroughly studied the meaning.
Many matters of interest to Idaho's
development ane success were taken up
and handled in thorough way. The
Press was represented at this meeting
by Editor o. H. Barber.

TO EXHIBIT IDAHO PRODUCTS
A Permanent Exhibit Room Estab-
Iished in PocatelIo.

The Northwestern immigration as
sociation has established headquarters
at the Oregon Short Line depot at Po-
catello. The large front room of the
Pacific hotel adjoining the Office will be
used as a permanent exhibit room of
Idaho produce in charge of well quail
fed person who will attend to the dis
tribution of the literature of all Sec
tions. The thousands of homeseekers
that pass through Pocatello every day
will thereby become acquainted with
the opportunities and needs of the diff
ferent communities. They will give
their names, address and desired invest
ment, and full list of the same will be
sent to the membership each week, to-
gether with all other inquiries received
here and at different railroad offices.
Literature will be distributed through
the railroad offices to whatever extent
may be desired.
The association will furnish articles
and development news of the state to
the various papers and magazines in
which the Harriaman system carry ad-
vertisements or is otherwise interested.
In short, the association will cooper
ate and work together with the Oregon
Short Line and take advantage of the
best field for the advertising of the op-
portunities of this state that has yet
been developed.
H. W. Unger of Buhl is in charge of
the Pocatello bureau and has already
entered upon the work of gathering a
comprehensive and attractive exhibit of
farm products.
Railroad statistics show that during
the past year there were an average of
5000 people per day passing through
the Gate City. All trains stop from Is
minutes to an hour. thus affording tour
lists adequate time to visit the exhibit
at the depot and select literature con-
corning the community in which they
are interested.
Exhibits, of course, will be drawn
from every community in this state, so
that it is most important that Bannock
countysand Pocatello be well represented.
All exhibits will be properly labeled and
the exhibit room, when arranged ac-
cording to Mr.. Unger's present plans,
will be miniature county fair. .-Poca-

HAVE GOOD EXHIBIT
Idaho to be Well Represented at
Chicago Show.

! When the United States Land and Ir-
rigation exposition opened in the Coli
scum on November 20, the people who
attended from every part of the
country saw the greatest display of ir-
/ rigated products ever collected in the
history of the nation. Every available
inch of space in that great auditorium
had been secured by private and public
enterprises and the interest which is
being manifested in the affair insures
some lasting results. Idaho was parti-
cularly prominent at the Windy City. -
! No expense has been spared and nothing
has been left undone to have the Gem
state and its products shown, in way
that the Importance of the state and
the excellence of the products demand.
While the Commercial clubs and
League of Southern Idaho Commercial
clubs have taken a keen and active in
terest in the exposition and have taken
steps to have the vast southern empire
well represented, private enterprises
have given this event much attention.
/ The men who were the first to see the
wonderful possibilities that southern
Idaho afforded and who were re-
sponsible for the inception and compile
ton of the great irrigation projects,
have decided to attend the exposition,
to see personally what other sections
are doing in irrigation.
About $500 square feet of floor space
was bought by the various interests of
Idaho. Although some of the products
and exhibits was from various COM
panies as well as from the commercial
organizations, it is together in promi-
nent place in the building, with appro-
pirate banners. This state probably
has the largest display there and as
ldaho's reputation is now national in
irrigation, and great deal of interest
taken in the products and exhibits from
the Gem state.
Over 400 boxes of apples have been
shipped, and they are said to be best
the best that could be found in the
country. The Crowder display, which
won the gold medal at the recent fair,
has also been sent to the exposition.
This comprised grasses, grains and
cereals.
One of the most interesting displays
is that of apples. While the Rome
Beauties and Jonathans are grown for
commercial purposes and the raisers
have been successful with them, there
has been sent sixty-one different varie-
ties. The Commercial club officers
feel that this will cause some of the
sit up and take notice.

In February, Mark Morgan came here
and was placed in charge of piece of
sagebrush land across the river from
American Falls and today has one of
the most prosperous ranches around
here. With 80 acres of the finest look
ing winter wheat and 200 apple trees,
besides buildings, it has the appearance
of long time established farm. Mr..
Morgan just completed chicken house
and will go into this line OF business to
some extent.

TEDDY BEARS
WIN GAME
Thanksgiving Day Football
Game 5 to 0.
High School Team, Proves to be
Better Schooled in Points of
Game but Teddy Bears Had
too Much Weight.

A small crowd witnessed the football
game on this Thanksgiving day between
the High school eleven and the Teddy
Bears which resulted in a victory for
the latter by score of 5 too.
The high school team has been or
ganized for some time and considering
the practice they have had made an
excellent showing. The Teddy Bears
was pick up team Of our city ex-
players, some having had much ex-
perience on big teams inl various parts
Of the United States, and had a de-
cided advantage in the matter of
weight, though they were lacking in
practice.
The first half Of the game gave to
the Bears touchdown, after fierce
battle and many small gains. The
second half was played without a score
and the ball was down on every point
OF the field and carryed by both sides.
The bad weather made it almost i'm
E''ss'ois lOr people 10 get TO the grounds
and many people thought the game
would not be played on account of the
rain. Those who were fortunate
enough to be out were well pleased
with the exhibition given and have
plenty of praise for our high school
team. The line up on the gridiron did
not vary but little from that advertised
and proved that American Falls has
the timber for a fast team.
Many of the new big-team-plays
were tried by both sides to some ad-
vantage but both were on the lookout
for any kind of moves and some fast
work blocked many fine play.
1t is already suggested that an
other game be called in the near
future between the same teams when
it is expected that little more practice
on the part of the high school team
will overbalance the weight of the
Teddy Bears.
