RIVER
PROJECT
PROMOTERS GO EAST TO GET
FINCANAI AID FOR RAFT
RIVER PROJECT.

Ralph 5. Fessenden, president Of
the Twin Fals-Rafl River Land &
Water company and R. 5. Cooking
ham, engineer for the company, ex-
poets to go east Immediately after
the first Of the year to talk over
at close range plans for financing
one of the greatest gravity IT.
rigation projects in the state Of
Idaho.
The Raft River valley in the
southeast part Of Cassia county
has long been renowned as a gar
den in this land of productive soils.
This valley lies at an average ele-
walton of 1900 feet. between noun
tain ranges on the east and west
and sloping to the river at about
twenty feet to the mile. The land
on both sides of this river slopes
so uniformly to the river that it
makes both irrigation and drainage
very practicable.
The soil is lava ash in character,
which is general In southern Idaho.
The entire area. which has been
segregated bv the Twin Falls-Raft
River Land & Water company, in
round numbers. 100000 acres, is
suitable for reclamation and under
irrigation Will doubtless produce as
we'll as that of adjoining tracts. The.
ranches of the valley demonstrate
that fruit flourishes even more in
this seauestered valley than on the
more open tracts along the Snake
river.
The water supply for these lands
is collected nv means of an S5-foot
.ii,,,ta,s,.,eliaq dam and gathering can
ais from the creeks and streams
that but for these gathering canals
would empty below the impounding
dam. Waters from Raft river, Cas-
sia creek. Clear creek, Sublett creek
and Grape creek will be used to
reclaim the lands from their arid
state Water measurements have
been taken for the past year by
the United states, and the state en-
gineer of Idaho determining the
water supply. and from data al

WOMAN WANTS A
GOLDEN" DIVORCE

San Francisco, June 22.-In poor
health and with a heart filled with
sorrow, Mrs. Elizabeth Selinger, IS.
is plaintiff in a suit for divorce pend
ing in the superior court today.
For so years she has borne cruel
ty from her husband, she alleges in
her complaint, and now she can en-
dure it no longer. She insists that
she wants to be freed of the tie that
has bound her to Michael Sellnger
since 1861.
The aged plaintiff claims that she
has suffered personal violence and
abuse from her husband since the
first year of their marriage. She
also says he has always been stingy
and refused her the common neces-
stiles of life.
Selinger is a night watchman, also
70 years old. The couple were mar
ried in Odessa, Russia, and came 70
San Francisco 20 years ago.

A recent dispatch from Spokane
says Buyers for commission houses
in New York, Chicago, Boston, Phil
adelphia and other large distributing
centers travelling in the northwestern
and Pacific states, estimate that
$4,000 cars, or from 100000 to
100000 boxes of apples, suitable
for eastern markets, will be shipped
from commercial orchards in Wash
ington, California, Colorado, Oregon,
Idaho, Montana and Utah this season.
1t is also estimated that between
5000 and 1000 cars will be required
to supply the local and European
trade.
The market value of the crop in
the several states is placed at from
$27OOO,O00 to $29,OOO,OOO at pres
-ent prices, which are likely to ad-
vance because of the decreased crops
in Ohio, Missouri and other central
apple states. Buyers say that the
Pacific and New England states will
supply the bulk of the apple crop
this year. The last statement is
borne out by United States govern
