River Boat Being Rapidly Built

After much delay on account of not
being able to get material here the boat
which will be used as freighter and
passenger boat between here and
Blackfoot, is now being rapidly built.
1t is the hope of those in charge Of the
construction that they will be able to
put it into the water next week. Then
it will require about two weeks more
before it is ready to make the trial run.
These figures are made with the idea
that all additional material, such as the
engines and wheel, will arrive in time.
Capt. Rudd has promised that he will
run an excursion on July 4th, and if he
does there will be a large delegation of
people visit the city of Blackfoot.

$4,000 ACRES in
THREE MONTHS
Many Hundred Filings Made
at American Falls.
A Steady Flow of Land Seeker, Keens
Local Land Commissioner and
Locators Busy. Much
Land Yet Open.

The past three months has not been a
rush season before United States Com
missioner Sigmond, but there has been
many acres Of government land taken
IN the vicinity Of American Falls.
The homestead filings for the three
months just closing runs over 1900
acres, with possessory filings running
between $500 and $500 acres. In this
list Of filings better than half the
states in the union are represented.
The land taken is all directions from
American Falls, but the majority being
to the south in the Rockland and Arbon
valleys. The dry farm section to the
north in the Aberdeen section is receiy-
ing much attention.
The 2, 600 acres represents 138 filings
and means that this many new homes
will be established here within the next
six months. The figures given do not
include the acres of Carey land pur-
chased during this time. The vast
tract under the Aberdeen-SpringfeId
canal is receiving much attention at
hands OF the land seekers. A visit to
any section is convincing of its value
and it is generally quick matter for
versed farmers to decide to locate.
Reports from the land men show that
next month will bring many land seek
ers to this vicinity. The homestead
land around American Falls yet open to
entry numbers many thousand acres,
most of which is equal in quality to any
now under cultivation and producing
p bushels of wheat to the acre.

Dear Sirs:--
In view of the fact that
some of the water users under the
American Falls Canal & Power com

they might be subjected to an excess
i've maintenance charge for the delivery
Of the water in case they subscribed for
their stock in your corporation the
American Falls Canal & Power com
pany hereby guarantees that such
maintenance charge shall not exceed
80 cents per acre during the present
season.
Fear has also been expressed that
the American Falls Canal & Power

corporation take over this canal system
before the same is fully completed, and
we hereby request that you, at your
earliest convenience, appoint a com
mittee, and we suggest that you asso-
ciate with the committee the State
Engineer and D. H. Blossom as engi-
neers who shall go over the system
with your committee and report what
additional requirements are necessary
to complete same in a good substantial
manner, and we will proceed at once to
fully complete the same in such manner
and will not expect the state or your
corporation to accept the same until
this is done.
We will also say as soon as an ami
cable understanding is reached between
your corporation and this company we
will at once spend a number of thous-
ands Of dollars in advertising the un-
sold water rights and sell the same al

(s40, ,000,) forty thousand dollars or
developing the towns along the railroad

A GREAT CITY
Eureka, Calf, Man Visits American
Falls for First Time.

This is certainly good town stu
ated in rich farming country" Those
were the words of Sig Anderson, who
arrived here from Eureka, Calf. two
weeks ago after spending several days
looking about the town and over the
country. Mr.. Anderson owns several
lots in American Falls, and had not
seen them or the city although he has
owned the property some time. 'I had
heard SO much about this town that I
decided to buy some lots upon the rec
ommendation of some of my friends and
as had owned the property some time
decided to come here and look it over.
l am certainly fully satisfied with my
buy as | can see that American Falls is
soon to be big city. There is every
thing here to make it such, with its
resources at hand both the great power
and the vast farming community.
There are always knockers for every
place but the knocking done to me
about American Falls is lost now that
have seen what there is here. | hope
to stay here and soon to bring my fam
lily with me. | have only been here
two weeks and already feel better, for
my health has not been the best the
past year in California. Such was
the trend of conversation to the Press
while Mr.. Anderson was visiting Am
erican Falls. He found better coun-
try and better town than he was even
led to believe when he purchased lots
in American Falls some time ago. Mr..
Anderson has been on the police force
IN his home town in Eureka for several
years but his health has been failing
and now seeks climate which will re-
store this to him. He is fully satisfied
that we have here what he has beer
searching for and there is every chance
to believe that he will soon be a resi-
dent of American Falls.

FRANKLIN TO CELEBRATE
Anniversary Of First Permanent White
Settlement Made in Idaho.

The Both anniversary of the estab-
lisement of the first permanent white
settlement in Idaho will be celebrated
on Wednesday, June Is. To commem-
crate the event, the chief executive of
the state has issued a proclamation
designating that anniversary as "Pio-
neer Day, and calling upon all citizens
to pause and reflect upon the great
debt we owe our pioneers, and to rever-
ence their memories.
10 the town of Franklin, Oneida
county, belongs the honor of being the
hrst permanent white settlement in
ldano. The settlement was made on
the 10th of June. 1860, by some thir-
teen families from Utah. Historians
are agreed upon this point. There
were earlier settlements, but they were
not permanent settlements.
John Haley, in charge of the State
historical Society, says in his recent
history:
The first white settler in this terri
tory was Nathaleen Wyth, who built
.ae old Fort Hall trapping station in
1854; was sold out soon to a British
company and was later abandoned. The
0'u fort Boise trapping and trading
station was built in 1885 by British
company, but was abandoned in 1850.
Inc Kev. Henry H. Spaulding built
Tue Lapway station on the Clearwater
.Ner' now in Nez Perce county, Idaho,
IN 1856, but was forced to abandon it
VI account of trouble with the Indians.
"lham Craig and his wife settled and
n'ade their home in what is now Nez
efee county in 1S43. They remained
w w the place until both died about 1870.
