GET BUSY.
Now is am Opportune Time for q
Publicity Campaign.

With the advent OF the main line OF
the Oregon Short Line reaching Jerome,
it would seem incumbent upon our bus
mess men and citizens generally to take
some action that would tend toward
publicity campaign, by which the re-
sources of Jerome and the surrounding
country could become generally known
throughout the more thickly populated
communities east Of us.
Our neighboring towns along the new
line are awakening to a realization Of the
fact that the general home seeker as well
as the capitalist are seeking homes and
investments in localities which present
the most favorable inducements, and are
taking steps to properly bring these mat
aers before this class Of people.
Endeavoring to build up new country
without advertising, is like merchant
trying to do business without telling the
general public what he has to offer them.
what is heralding its inducements to the
world in one form or another. People
are going where they are invited, and
even though we have superior advan-
tages to offer over many sections, it will
not do to sit idly down and say to our
selves, "the people will come here, any
way"
The conditions existing in the drought
stricken districts OF the east are such as
to warrant the prediction that there will
be large exodus Of home seekers from
those sections the coming fall and the
following spring, and the. natural tend
ency of those people will be toward the
irrigated sections, where, with plenty Of
water, crops are assured each year
The Gooding papers OF last week read
a lecture to the real estate men Of thai
town for their apparent apathy to sur
rounding conditions, urging more activ,
work on their part. We have no sucl
complaint against our real estate dealers
and though they are making no grea
noise about it, the advantages of JEROME
are not lost sight OF for moment.
But the real estate men should not b.
expected to do it all, and some concerted
) action should be taken by all our citizen
with the end in view that all the worl'
may be informed OF what we have to offe
them. The Commercial-Club has don
effective work in the past, but the
should not be expected to carry all tn
burdens, and they should have the heart

o. s. l.. DEPOT.
Steps Being Taken For Its Location
West Of Town.

A meeting was held Tuesday evening
under the auspices OF the Business Mems
Association, at which time the railroad
situation was quite generally discussed
1t Is quite generally understood that the
railroad company prefer the site on west
main street, and to this end committee
consisting OF r. l.. Pence, w. A. Peters,
w. A. Heiss, Ed. Gill and F. +. Eichel-
berger were appointed 10 solicit the
parties owning land in that section.
+. +. Evans, who owns most OF the
land on which it is desired TO locate the
depot, in letter makes liberal offer Of
acres OF land for this purpose, with an
offer 10 sell what balance is needed at
slJo.W yer acre. A. NJ. Storz also do
mates ! e acres, which leaves a balance
OF about acres to be provided. This
Will necessitate the raising Of about 5000
and IT is the desire Of the committee to
realize this amount from the land owners
in that vicinity, and it is not thought
that this will require much labor, as
several have made proffers of financial
aid, realizing that property values would
be enhanced by reason OF such location.
Nlessrs. Evans and Storz have certainly
shown very liberal spirit, which is
highly appreciated. 1t is desired to have
this matter cleaned up within few days
that il may be presented 10 Chief Engi-
neer Stradley, who is now at Twin Falls,
for approval. As soon as matters are
adjusted the company will lose no time
in commencing work.
Should the location west Of town be
assured, the business men and citizens
will at once take steps to put the road
leading thereto in first-class condition
and build sidewalks for the accommodation
OF passengers going and coming.
! The company have definitely located q
station at Coppdae. The surfacing ganl
are close on the heels OF the track laying
crew, and it will not be many days be
] fore the last spike is driven. There will
) be no delay in inaugurating train servic,
as soon as the connection is made east o
town.

HONEST CONFESSION
A Doctors Talk on Food.

There are no fairer set of men on
earth than the doctors, and when they
find they have been in error they are
usually apt to make honest and manly
admission of the fact
A case in point is that of a practi-
toner, one of the good old school, who
lives in Texas. His plain, unvarnished
tale needs no dressing up:
II had always had an intense preju-
dice. which can now see was unwar-
rantable and unreasonable, against all
muchly advertised foods. Hence, I
never read line Of the many ads of
Grape-Nuts, nor tested the food till
last winter.
while in Corpus Christi for my
health, and visiting my youngest son,
who has four of the ruddiest. health

ELK THAT CLEAR TICKETS
Arkansas Herd Found to Be More
Valuable Than Goats, AS They
Browse Higher.

Eureka Springs, Ark.-Attempts to
preserve the elk from extinction

dertaken by private ownership OF
small herds in several different places
in the United States. Mr.. George w.
Ross, who recently had herd of
thirty-four, has found them valuable
in clearing out thickets. In this work
they are better than goats, since they
browse higher. The two animals get
along well together and in the style
of the Jack Spratt family the work
is well done. Mr.. Ross says:
I'VE find from long experience that
cattle. sheep and goats can be grazed
in the same lot with elk, provided
the lots or Enclosures are not small.
