HAGERMAN VALLEY.

The Hagerman valley lies 6 miles south
west of Gooding and is the most noted
pace IN Lincoln County, or for that matter
IN ldaho. The Snake River at this point
nows nearly north. The walls of the great
canyon have widened apart and formed
a valley from l to miles wide and per-
maps 10 miles long. 1t is but slightly

valley to purchase their fruits and vegeta-
bles. When every acre is producing fruit
and vegetables, it will not half supply the
demand. Hagerman Valley products are
sought, as the quality is superior to those
grown on the higher lands.
Alfalfa has yielded over 1, 900 pounds of
seed to the acre, which sells on an average
at from 12 TO 5 cents per pound, or about
$500 per bushel. Alfalfa hay yields from
to tons to the acre in three cuttings
and is very readily sold to the sheepmen

during the winter. They gladly pay dol
lar per ton above the market price, thus
giving you liberal price and saving you
the trouble of marketing
In addition to the inducements offered
stockmen by the ideal feeding grounds, an
abundance of winter feed, may be mention
ed as OF equal importance, the ever flow
ing, never freezing warm water, pouring
from the lava rock at a temperature that
doesn't vary two degrees the year round.
Nine months out of the year, we have
green grass.
Stock will eat freely of the hay, drink
abundantly of the water, then lie down
and make flesh under conditions very I'M

weather and cold water keep them moving

High class hOrticulturalists are settling
in the Hagerman Valley, planting CONNER

color and flavor that command the highest
prices. The peaches have the qualities
that top the market, they are not to be
excelled in America. Soft shelled almonds
mature perfectly, and the production is of
superior quality.
Cantaloupe culture has proven to be a
great success, the quality surprising any
grown in the West. Watermelons are
grown very profitably, being large and
fine in flavor
The fishing is unlimited, the streams be

year ago held high carnival, where
three years ago the deer and occas-

Manager C. a. Caswell has just
returned from a TRIP to Salt Lake
to complete the arrangements for
help and for the formal opening of
the place. The furniture was all Sc
lected in Chicago by Mr.. Caswell in
person, and is of the very best, most
comfortable design. Some of the
rooms are to be furnished in golden
weathered oak. The house is tinted
throughout in the most restful, at
tractive colors, without exception,
one of the daintiest color schemes of
any public building of the West. The
halls in the second and third floors
are finished in white enamel, which
shines like ivory. In the lobby, and /

The building is to be ready for
service by the Is of May. 1t will

DIETRICH

Dietrich, the new town to be op-
ened June 8th, as the principal place
OIL business for the Dietrich segrega-
ton 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 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 1t is
expected to do-grow like the proven
bal weed.
The town is to be laid off in the
latest, most approved style. 1t has
a 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 good location for
a good town. With so much land

English Walnuts, cantaioupe, and all small
fruits, the melons surprising the Rocky

In fact all of these fruits are grown in
the present orchards OF the Hagerman Val
ley, and are here to show for themselves
All the ordinary vegetables grow to per-
lection, while such special crops, as celery

Celery will compete, in quality, with that
grown in any noted celery districts and
much of it will weigh 2 pounds to the
plant, trimmed, perfectly bleached and of
the finest flavor Strawberries bear heav-
lily and produce very fine fruit, which sells
rapidly at fancy prices.
The most remarkable thing about this
soil, is the great variety of vegetables it

though the land were intended for that
special crop.
Early berries and vegetables are ready
for the market three to four weeks earlier
than those grown on the higher lands sur
rounding the valley.

COOLING.

Gooding has no time to say unkind
things about her neighbors. The
resources surrounding the city are
so great and their development is
keeping her citizens so busy that
they have no time to get jealous OF
their neighbors who also have their
full share of good things in the way
of inducements and opportunities for
making towns.
Gooding is but little over year
old at present and it is already crowd
ing the 1000 mark. 1t was incor-
porated as village at the April
meeting of the Lincoln county com
missioners, 1908. At that time it
just had enough population to entitIe
it to be incorporated as village.
Today it has large number of fine
residences and substantial business
houses in proportion to its size than
any other city in Idaho. 1t has a
fine system of water works, a sewer
system is to be built this summer, the
probabilities are that Main street will
be paved for 7 blocks. 1t has a well
organized fire department and fine
chemical engine and hook and lad
der outfit.
The Lincoln Inn is perhaps the fin
est hosiery in the entire west and
the plant Of the Idaho L sader is the
finest and pest print shop in the
state of Idaho. The Leader issued
its first number on Christmas day,
1908, and it is now employing 9
force of ten men, all of whom are
experts in their line.
The various views of Gooding in
this issue are given to illustrate some
thing of the rapid growth of the
town. Governor Gooding says 81 am
going to make great city of Good
ing and at the present outlook he
will succeed. He has gathered
around him as great bunch of hust-
Iers, and rustling, straightforward,
clean business men in the new citi-
sens of the town as were ever brought |
together in any community.
The Gooding Commercial club is

nay well be proud. 1t has it's own

Hagerman has a good telephone system
and connections are made with all the sur
rounding towns and country. Electric
power will soon be available for light, heat
and power. Hagerman will soon have ell
ectric railroads., which will bring thous-
ands of people into the valley to spend a
few days, where they can enjoy the pure
spring water and fresh air and the sport
of fishing.
Speaking of power facilities, Hagerman
is one mile from Lower Salmon Falls where
construction work is now in progress, pre-
paratory to putting in the machinery,
which, when completed, will represent more
power than any other power plant on the
river. Then five miles from Hagerman is
the Upper Salmon Falls, which is one of
the largest and grandest power sites in
Southern Idaho. Then seven miles from
Hagerman, there are the Thousand Springs

hotels and other business conven-

more or less only what the develop

JEROME.

OA1itONlG.
Jerome, Lincoln County, Idaho, is
situated in the center of the great
Twin Falls North Side Tract, sur
rounded by $4,000 acres of rich,
Southern Idaho soil just being re-
claimed by the canal system of the
Twin Falls North Side Land & Wa
ter company. Water was delivered
to the settlers April 1, 1909, and the
entrymen on the tract, practically all
of the land having been filed on, are
fast coming to the country and max
ing their homes. The rules of the
state land board concerning the Car
ey Act land being so reclaimed re-
quire that the entrymen take up their
residence upon the land within six
months following the delivery of wa
ter. This will occasion the rapid
settlement of the country this year.
Jerome is less than two years old.
It's population today is estimated at
1,200-tomorrow it will be more
than that. 1t has electric lights, a
splendid system of water works and
pure water for domestic use. This
water supply is secured by boring
deep wells and pumping water with
electric power. The water is pure
and cold, and the wells, there being
two at Jerome, are 342 feet deep.
Six-inch and S-inch mains are laid
on the principal streets. The wells
are located on considerable of an ele-
walton. The water is pumped into
the mains and forced back up a stand
pipe rs feet in height to $4,000
gallon steel tank, giving strong
and constant pressure.
Jerome is at present the terminus
of the Idaho Southern railroad which
connects with the main line of the
Oregon Short line railroad at Good
ing. Survey for the extension of the
road on southwest through the tract |
Miner at the eastern end of the
tract have been made, and contract
ors have recently been over the
right-of-way for the purpose of sub
hitting bids on the construction of
the grade. Hillsdale is on the line
of the proposed road.
The handsome North Side Inn,
modern hotel of thirty rooms, is al
most completed and will be ready for
occupancy about June 1st, 1909. 1t
occupies nearly whole block of
ground in the center of the town and
Will be surrounded by ornamental

The local school district is fully or {

a good school has been conducted the
past year. Ample facilities will be
provided for the coming year. {
