SI25 FARM LAND ON THE
SOUTH SIDE TRACT

In the sale of another large tract of
Twin Falls county land this week at
SIPS per acre there was conspicuously
illustrated the constantly advancing
values which have been prominent
features ever since the first offering
seven years ago today at Shoshone, at
S25. 50 per acre.
Especially noteworthy is the fact
also that the advance during the last
three months has been quite extraor-
binary, yet no more so than the actual
money-making conditions attaching to
these fertil areas warrant.
Rudolph Peterson. from North Yaki-
ma, Wash, purchased from William
Cheek eighty acres, a mile and onehalf
northwest of Kimberly. through Det-
weller & Barsenes, paying $40, 900 cash,
and said he considers he has obtained
splendid bargain.

worth of good irrigated land ascend

chase single acre. Mr.. Peterson fur

the place for me to get in, and also the
right time to make big morey off farm

vances which will be experienced in all
values here as the country develops
The tract contains no buildings, but
forty acres of it rein oats and alfalfa.
The new owner intends to erect thereon
a fine house and barns, having decided
to make it his permanent home.
Mr.. Peterson win also set almost the
entire tract to fruit as soon as the land
can be put in best condition for plant
ing. He declares that Twin Falls has
all the necessary favorable climatic and
soil conditions for horticultural opera
tons, and that ultimately the entire
tract will give the Washington and
Oregon fruit growing sections a strong
race for supremacy in the large com
mercial production of first-class apples
The land Peterson secured at sl25
per acre was purchased three months
ago for slOO per acre. by Mr.. Cheek,
who has cleared $4,000 about as quickly
as any land investor whose operations
have been reported recently on the
tract.

president elected by democrats who
said that the friends that a man made
and that the foes that he made, in
politics, was pretty good evidence of
his standing. Thus far, every demo-
cratic paper in Idaho, without excep-
tion, is devoting seventeen times the
space to boosting O'Neill in preference
to Brady that they are to all the demo-
cratic candidates combined. The Re
publican state press is three to one in
favor of Brady. The convictions of
the democratic press on this subject
are naturally selfish. Likewise the op-
posing press. Each desire the success
of their party. The Democrats believe
Brady the most difficult man TO defeat
and hence are supporting O'Neiil. The
republicans believe that Brady gave an
honest administration and that the
people will indorse him bv a greater
majority than was given him at the
last election and are therefore going to
re- nominate him for the gOvernorship.
They don't care a rap who is nominated
against him hence you read little in
these papers about his possible oppon-
ent.

well to remember that there is north

fetal one to Idaho. as shown in affir-
native legislation, and more has been

pletion Of reclamation projects in various
states of which Idaho will secure a
large portion, resulting in the com
pletion and extension Of projects now
under way without delay.
The appropriation Of 500, 600 for the
survey Of public lands in Idaho viii be
Of great advantage to intending set
tiers and viii hasten the development
of the country. 1t viii accomplish in
one year in the way of making surveys
as much or more than would have
been accomplished in three or four
years without this appropr alton.
The extension of the dry farm home
stead law to southern Idaho is another
measure Of great Importance and will
aid materially in developing large areas
Of land in the arid section Of the state
Another important law enacted was
that providing that homesteaders on re-
clamation projects could assign all or a
portion Of their homesteads after q
five year residence.
Another measure which become a law
that providing for leave of absence
for homesteaders on reclamation pro
jects during the period between filing

and purpose the welfare of those who

The case Of the United States
against Micheal Sheeran, for the can
collation. of a patent to quarter sec
ton of government land in Mclean
county, was this morning dismissed by
Judge Charles r.. Amidon in the federal
court. The fact that the homesteader
had concealed nothing at the time of
making final proof in 1905, that all
facts were laid before the department
before the patent was issued, was held
by the court to be sufficient.
In this case the testimony was taken
some time ago before Mrs. R. A. Con-
over, acting as referee. This morning
arguments were made before Judge
Amidon by Asst. II. s. Dist. Atty. w.
