ARDENT BOOSTER
FOR Twin FALLS
Judge {. 0. StoGksIager Tells Of
Wonderful Crops Here
BACKS UP HIS STATEMENTS BY
COLD FACTS.
Twin Falls City is One of the Most
Modern OF Cities, With Everything
p-tO-Date.

The famous Twin Falls section has
no more ardent supporter and booster
than Judge G. 0. Stockslager of the
district court for the county by that
name, who spent several days in Boise
this week. Judge Stockslager is not
only enthusiastic over the develop
ment and the advancement made by
the Twin Falls country, but he bases
his statements on facts. When dis
cussing the past, present and future
OF that magic spot in Idaho yester-
day he made the interesting statement
that while on the bench he has had
ample opportunity to judge the high
quality and character of citizens
drawn for jurors there and that he
would be willing to have any jury
drawn in that county sit on case
that might involve his own life.
THE citizens of Twin Falls, of Twin
Falls county and that entire section
are of the highest type and the most
progressive" said Judge Stockslager.
"a look at their farms would convince
anyone of the truth of this statement.
They have developed a wonderful
country and are not through yet And
it is great country. | can remember
the time, some years ago, when | ad-
vised some of the farmers there now
not to plant fruit trees. because that
was not fruit country, l thought
am sorry that | ever gave that kind of
advice. Some of them took it and
others disregarded it. Today the Twin
Falls. section promises to become. one
of the leading if not the leading fruit
section of the state. 1t seems to be
ideally located. The trees are held
back from the. danger of late frosts
and the pests that do so much dam
age in the lower attitudes are un-
known in the Twin Falls sections. Or
chards that are now in full bearing
produce the largest and very best
quality of fruit.
"Some idea of the big crops the
Twin Falls section experienced this
year can be realized by the fact that
the last statements issued by two of
our banks show an increase of 81 ,000,-
600 in deposits during the month of
October" The farmers, you see, had
disposed of some of their crops and
the returns had been banked. The
railroad was taxed to its utmost capa-
city to move our crops this fall and
the crops next year will be greater.
Grains yielded abundantly There was
a big potato crop, fruit was abundant,
alfalfa and hay was almost unlimited.
"The seed industry gives promise of
becoming one of the most important
in the Twin Falls country. This year
5000 bushels of pea seeds were raised.
Next year the crop will be much larg-
er. One of the largest seed ware
houses in the country has been erect
ed and the industry is assuming an
important stage in the development of
the country
Twin Falls itself is one of the
most modern cities in the state, or the
west for that matter. The Twin Falls
county court house is an exceptionally
fine one-the best in the state. The
high school is considered one of the
finest in the west. There are over
two miles of street pavement The
business houses are the most mod
ren. The hotels are as good as can
be found. . The banks are housed in
excellent structures, and in fact Twin
Falls is thoroughly modern and up
