Twin Falls-Over 1900 men and
many teams are employed in construc-
tien work in the Twin Falls country,
700 being employed on the Twin Falls
extension, 800 laborers and teams be-
ing engaged in construction work on
the Salmon river project and about 200
men on the Oakley project. More men
are wanted for the enormous amount
of construction in progress and pfopos-
ed for the near future, the number Of
men at present employed being limited
only to the number available.
In Twin Falls, Cassia and Lincoln
counties contracts have been let or con-
struction has begun on 165 miles Of
new railroad which will be in operation
before June, 1910, the greater portion
of the work being ON the Idah, South
ern line from Gooding to Miner and
thence to Oakley, to be in operation in
80 days.
The immense reservoir for the Oak.
ley project is being constructed rapidly,
over $50 men being at work and more
being put on the job as fast as they can
be secured. Fully 800 men are en-
ployed on the Salmon river dam, while
the Short Line is working a force OF
about 700 men on the Twin Falls extern
sion to Hollister, making 1000 men
employed upon the Salmon river tract
alone. This construction means
great deal for the farmers of that sec
ton, the construction camps eating all
the farm products as fast as the farm
ers can deliver them.

Caldwell-The Boise, Payette and

the greatest dairy section of the ma

has made a study of the conditions here
is frank to admit the tru+hfulness OIL
the foregoing statement. he equaoe
climates makes the keepiL.r of cattle
in good condition the yea round an
easy matter. In these til Valleys
dairy cows can be kept at minimum
of expense as compared with dairy sec
tions in other states. The chief factor
i'm making this section of ldaho
profitable dairy country is the remark,
able yield of alfalfa. The average
price of alfalfa is from IS to 81 Per
ton. A ton of alfalfa is worth more
for cows for feeding purposes ana ioSs
milk than ton of any other kina o.
hay. When fed to dairy cows, alta,s
IS worth from $40 TO $l5 per ton IN mi,s
and cream. Dairy cows in the East 40
not give much milk during the Wlh'e'
months. Here the equable mid g"
mate in the winter is such that COWS
give much larger flow of milk 'p'@

Boise-For the first time in the his

service will start in few weeks ha
work of planting about 5000 yellow
pines on the exposed mountain sides
These trees are three years old and are
of the sturdy type which seem 70 thrive
in the mountain fastness. The plant
ing of the pines is merely an expert
ment, and if in the spring it is found
that they have weathered the severe
winter frosts, many thousand will be
planted in the forest next fall.
The planting department of the for
est service is considered to be one Of
the most important and those in charge
have given careful study TO the various.
trees found in this country. The VEL
low pine is considered one of the best
of the pine specie. Various expert
ments with it elsewhere have shown it
to be one of the sturdiest known.
