days his company has sold 3l60 acres
Of land at prices ranging from $40 to
$40 per acre to Iowa and Illinois buy
ers who have come and taken possess
sion. No fewer than eight cars Of
emigrants debarked at one time this
spring. These farmers are going into
corn and hog raising on an extensive
scale. They feel that corn Can be
raised much more profitably on $40
per acre land than on eastern land that
costs four or five times the price Of
North Dakota land.
Mr.. Hanch pertinently states the
true facts regarding the 500 immigra-
ton project when he states that in
selling land to eastern buyers who
move here and take possession we get
a booster in place Of knocker, the
price of the land is increased, we get
farmers who are familiar with diver

Humane Society Notes.
BY Mario |. D. Irwin.

Humane Society night in the Column
bla park last Wednesday evening was
certainly a huge success in point of
numbers. Long before the hour APP
pointed several hundred had assembled
and patiently waited through the de-
lay caused by the lantern refusing to
work for while.
Miss Margaret Roberts presided as
vice president of the Idaho State HUI
name society, and also as a represen-
tative of the Columbian club who
were the official hostesses for the
evening.
Miss Bessie Vance opened the pro
gram with a couple of songs most de-
lightfully given.
Perhaps in the beginning there
might have been a little feeling Of
disappointment when Mr. Parker did
not deal especially with the humane
work in this city and vicinity, but one
soon became reconciled to the change
as they listened to mis- abe plea for
the work in general. Mr. Parker spoke
with the keenest insight into the So
Geological side of the question, not only
the acts of cruelty to animals as eff
fecting the dumb creatures, but as
they reacted and worked their evil
influence pom mankind. There were
large number CT men present, and it
was interesting to observe that the

INSPECTION MADE
OF STATE HIGHWAY
Road East of Pocatello Is
Found to Be in Excel
lent Condition.

Official inspection of the new state
highway east of Pocatello was made
the latter part of last week hS Theo-
dore Turner, chairman of the state
highway commission, State Highway
Engineer E. S. Smith and Robert W.
Spangler, secretary of the Idaho State
Automobile association and Contractor
s. w. Glenn, who built the road.
They found the highway in excellent
condition and the construction work up
to contract.
The trip was to give the state Sec
rotary some idea of the work of the
commission. In speaking of 1t, Mr..
Spangler said
when the state OF Idaho completes
its entire highway system so that it
is equal to the first six miles l saw to-
day, this state will become the mecca
of tourists. There are so many scenic
spots that visitors will come by the
hundreds and thousands after they
learn that the roads are suitable to
automobile travel Yellowstone park
will naturally be the main attraction,
and the stream of turists oveE Lincoln
highway will turn north through Poca-
tello to reach the park
II was much surprised to learn from
Chairman Turner that the first six
miles of road cost only about $1,000 a
mile, but 1t was explained that the low
cost was largely due to the proximity
of the road material. Large beds Of
gravel and granite lie alongside the
road and there was no long haul to
be made. I understand the road has
been finished about two months, and
it is certainly in splendid condition.
This was formerly the worst road out
of Pocatello, and now 1t Is like a boule-
ward When the road is completed to
the Utah line, L am reliably informed
that Utah will be there to meet it with
a road equally as good

association has practically no log book

have the roads OF this state properly

Their real honeymoon, she told

they were finally settled in their new

would find there the peace and har-

The household machinery did not

not to be expected In the beginning.
And the charm of the novelty was
