A Glimpse at our Neighbors.


We had occasion Saturday, in coinpa-
ny with visiting friends, to drive to Twin
Falls, returning Sunday via. Shoshone
Falls. While We doubt il we could have
selected Il hotter day Tor the trip, this
disagreeableness was soon forgotten and
overcome 10y g~lances at the magnificent
crops that are visible between here and
the canyon. In addition to the beauti-
ful fields OF grains and grasses, young
orchards are ~springing up on every hand,
and in fact if one would keep abreast OF
the development being done on the North
Side, more frequent trips would have TO
be made han it is our fortune to enjoy.
OF course the Blue Lakes canyon is
just as grand and awe inspiring, no mat
is always something new to be seen, and
at this season OF the year when the trees
are laden with fruit, the grandeur OF the
scene is greatly enhanced.
A panoramic view OF the South Side
is AN inspiration 10 any insterested spec
tator, and is a forcible illustration OF
what may be expected Of this side with
the same number Of years Of develop
ment to our credit While the crops on
the South Side are bounteous, they only
surpass those OF the North Side in the
area covered. There will be quite an
abundance OF fruit raised there this year,
the trees in the young orchads being la
den with fruits OF various kinds.
Twin Falls is just now all excitement
over the assurance OF the building OF the
new electric line that will at no distant
day link together the two great North
and South side projects with a suspen-
| sion bridge at Shoshone Falls, 10 he II
OF the highest in this country. New i'm
petuous has been given this line by the
recent return from the east of !. b. Per
rine with the assurance that the line had
been financed, and to ~substantiate this a
mortgage for 100000 was last week
filed by the Twin Falls Railway Co. in
favor Of the Central Trust Co., the pro-
ceeds TO be used in building and equip
ping the line. The grade for this line as
far a. Shoshone Falls is about completed
and a large force Of men and teams are
now stationed near the falls, finishing
the grade at that end. 1t is stated that
the ears and all material has been order
ed and that the laying OF steel will COM
mence in a short time, and ii is expected
that the line will be completed 10 the
Falls by September 30.
The view at Shoshone Falls is just as
grand as ever, and u most refreshing
place to spend a few days or more dur
ing the heated term fishing and bathing.
We found Mr.. %Spangler busy looking al
ter the wants of his guests at the hotel
there, and could not help but ponder on
the delights OF spending Il season As one
Of his guests, and We do not know OF j
more pleasant days recreation than i
visit Ia this scenic wonder, with ample
accommodations provided both for your.
sell and team.
The evenings ride through Jonathan
valley was highly enjoyed 10y our friends
who marveled at the accomplishment
that had been wrought in the short spac,
of three years. Here, as in other part'
of the tract, the endless array OF hay
stacks and the countless fields of grail
and potatoes, is ample evidence OF wha
can he accomplished with an uninter
rupted water supply.
