~ ALDWELL, Idaho, June Is
Thanks TO the government and
its reclamation work, thousands
OF acres of sagebrush land are
rapidly being reclaimed in the western
and southwestern states Of the United
States. Perhaps at no one place is this
better shown than at the Junction OF
the Boise and Snake rivers In Idaho,
where both government and private en-
terprises are at work reclaiming Co.,

ali stages of this development may be
noted
Near the Railroad.
A few miles from the railroad the
edges of the tract are reached. Here
the homesteads are small and the
shacks are squalid and generally put
up as cheaply as possible. The tenant
is engaged in removing the sagebrush,
in leveling his land and in getting the
bitches in such shape that he can wa

of the project one comes upon the old

Eight Oxen for Barbecue.
To accommodate the huge crowds a
barbecue was prepared, Eight oxen
were roasted In huge earthen ovens.
The fires were started at 10 o'clock
one night and the beef was ready to
serve at the next noon The entire
crowd was handled in this matter and
fed In thoroughly adequate manner
IN less than two hours. 1t took more
than 400 gallons of coffee to quench
the thirst of the hungry crowd, which
gives good idea of the crowd.
In studying the crowd it was sur

were concerned it compared favorably

magnitude are under way and these
probably will see completion within
TWO years, and then the reclamation of
southern Idaho will be complete.

The First Steamer That Piled For Hire
In Great Britain.

Among the curiosities of advertising

tisement of the first steamer that piled

vertisement in the Glasgow Courier Of
1912:
"Steam passage boat. the Comet. be.
tween Glasgow. Greenock and Helens-
burg. For passengers only. The sub
scriber having Mt much expense fitted
up handsome vessel to ply upon the
river Clyde between Glasgow and
Greenock-to sail by the power Of
wind. air and steam-he intends that
the vessel shall leave the Broonie!aw
on Tuesdays. Thursdays and Satur-
days about midday or at such time
thereafter as may answer from the
state Of the tide and to leave Green
ock ON Mondays. Wednesdays and Fri.
days in the morning to suit the tide.
The elegance. comfort. safety and
speed Of this vessel require only to be
proved to meet the appreciation Of
the public. and the proprietor ia de-
termined to do everything in his power
to merit public encouragement. The
terms are for the present shillings
for the best cabin and 3 shillings for
the second. but beyond these rates
nothing is to he allowed to servants or
any other person employed about the
vessel"

gunce. comfort and speed he was so
