ssTHE POET SCOUT"

Captain Jack Crawford, one of
the most popular of all the lyceum
entertainers now before the Amer
lean people, is to appear at Sho-
shone the night OF October II, on
the regular winter lecture course.
He made a record as an intrepid sol
dier and scout, first in the Civil war
and later against the Indians on the
plains, and represents phase of
the nations history that will not
long be seen. Trained in the grim
school of war,---he was wounded at
the Bloody Angle" at Spottsylvania
and again at the great mine explo-
sion before Petersburg---he found
time for poetry and art, and has
written much beautiful verse. His
evenings entertainment is mostly
made up from his own writings, and
is unique and interesting.

besides all the beef and hay and grain
that was collected and taken in from
other points.
1t is a much quieter out there now
than it has been. The great bank of
earth, where so many men have toiled
for two years, is finished; the spillway
and wing dam stretching out across the
prairie to the westward, is ready for
the water to be turned in; only the rock
facing of the main dam, and the con
crete work on the control tower, and
the final placing of the valves and gates
remains to DO be DONE Christmas win

lean job---but it is now almost done.

Prairie country has appeared as rich

fy BRIEF, partial, and long-distance
view of that famous country proves
that it is really so; that it is the
home of prosperity and opportunity,
and that nowhere else, even in Ida
no, is there finer place for the
man, whether young, middle-aged or
old, who does not get in on the
ground floor right here. It is only
a semi-arid country; one can trust
to providence to supply a consider

NO COAL FAMINE.

There will be little prospect Of a
coal famine on the Richfield tract
this year, unless the winter should
lrove to be lot worse than even
last winter was. Owing to the ina
bility of the ccoal companies to get
the coal on time, there were many
cases of real annoyance ,and some OF
real suffering, because of the short
age in fuel This year, the people
have "wised up" to the extent of Sc
curing a number of cars of coal in
the fall so that these will have all
the fuel they need The dealers, too
have quantities of coal stored, so as
to be prepared for a possible block
ade in the supply 1t means lot Of
comfort for the people of Richfield
and vicinity, to have enough fuel in
sight to carry through the season.

would make the Seattle people en-
tirely wild about Idaho.
The exhibitors at Seattle gave out
more than 5000 of the excellent lit
tie booklets put out by the company
a few weeks ago. 1t is quite sur
prising commentary upon the real in
terest the exhibit created, that out
Vi those 5000 booklets they never
found one thrown away on or about
the grounds---the people took them
home to read of the greath Fruit
Land from the Rockies. The agents
look for a large immigration from
Seattle in the spring; one or two
buyers have already come because
of the magnificent display made by
he company. And it is worthy Of
additional comment that most of the
exhibit came directly from the Rich
field tract.
A large exhibit of the very choic-
est specimens of all will be sent to
some of the big eastern fairs later
in the season---and the Short Line
will need its new main line through
Richfield to care for the crowds of
eager people who are attracted by
the splendid exhibits being sent out
TO advertise the resources of this
section.
