being the available man, TO take the
cussings and blame for everything, is
a round of pleasure that is matchless.
However, the valley of the Snake
is proving itself fool-proof and in
spite of all our mistakes, this glori-
our land will make good if it is al
lowed to, and the time is not far dist
ant when the good people of South
ern Idaho will tire of false gods,
blind trails and personalities and get
down TO real business and then our
lasting prosperity will make the val
ley of the Snake the real mecca of
people who will dwell amid solid,
substantial surroundings and enjoy
their lives in a land that has not its
equal west of the Rockies.
great good will come to Idaho
from the San Francisco exposition
Every day thousands of people look
at and talk about Idaho's splendid
exhibits of the agricultural, horticul-
tural and mineral wealth and posi-
bilities of our wonderful state. and
it's boundless resources and capabil-
tiles. The state of New York is
spending more money for entertain
ment than Idaho's entire appropria-
ton.
This is no time to discuss who's
who or exploit personalities. Prec-
ious time is flying and the betterment
of Idaho and its people is the big
question. The Writer claims that the
advertising the state has provided
and the wonderful displays in the
different palaces that are in evidence
: will be far reaching in its benefits tt
Idaho, and will result in great goot
! this year. next year. and the years t.
come.

CONTRACT Is LET.
Work ON the New Creamery Building
Has Already Commenced, and
the Same Will be Pushed to
Completion.

AT a meeting of the Board of Dr.
rectors of the Jerome COOPERATIVE
Creamery held on Saturday evening
last, bids were opened for the erec-
tion of the building, and the Jerome
Concrete & Construction Co. being
the lowest and best bidders, the con-
tract was awarded to this firm at q
price of s2,685.00. The building will
be 4Ox54 feet, and constructed OF
lava rock, laid in such a manner as
to present a beautiful appearance
when completed. Though the build
ing will be only one story in height.
the attic will be finished off for a
working room and storage, there be-
ing found ample room for the same
in a space 15x54 feet.
The building when completed will
be equipped with the latest and most
up-to-date creamery machinery,
some of which has already been pur-
chased, and negotiations are now
under way for the purchase of the
remainder, SO that when the building
is completed there will be no waiting
to equip it. 1t is the intention to
put in a large ice machine for the
manufacture of artificial ice in guam
titles sufficient to supply the needs
of the town, besides furnishing all
the refrigeration necessary for the
operation of the creamery.
Now that active work has already
commenced on the building our
farmers and dairy men can look for
ward to an early completion of the
same, as it is hoped to have the same
ready for operations by the first OF
November, although in view of the
fact that some obstacles may arise to
hinder the work, the contractor has
been given little more time to COM
plete the work, and has given the
board a bond for the completion of
the same according to the plans and
Specifications. We can only add that
a creamery for Jerome is now a real
ity, and we believe its success Is as
sured from the start, and 1t certain
ly can be made so If the farmers OF
the tract will heartily cooperate Ii
maintaining it.

total acreage given only 47S,45l,75O
acres are classed as improved land" "
The balance comprises wood land and
other unimproved land in farms. The
improved land given above Is only
about 25.1 per cent of the total area

CONNICTS AT THE GRADE.
Quite Gang now Encamped at the
Shoshone Falls Grade and at
Work Improving Same.

Persons traversing the Shoshone |
Grade report the encampment there |
of a number of convicts from the pen
itentiary at Boise, who have been
brought there for the purpose of i'm
proving the grade on this side of
the river They are housed in large
tents, and from every indication seem
to enjoy the change from the prison
walls to life in the open air. They
are among those that are considered
Wheeler, has no intimation that any
of them will endeavor to escape.
The work has already commenced,
and the men are busy at work remov-
ing the loose rocks along the present
grade, thus making it more passable
for conveyances. The steep pitch at
this end of the grade will be lowered
and afterward attention will be given
to blasting off the rocks at the side
of the grade, thus making it wide
enough for teams or autos to pass at
any point, and will lessen the pitch
so that it will be a pleasure to go
over the same. The work mapped
out will probably keep the convicts
busy most of the winter.
Speaking of the arrival of the con-
victs, the Shoshone Democrat of last
week says:
j. W Wheeler returned last Fri
day evening from Boise, where he
had been after 20 state convicts, who
are now at work on the Shoshone

Elsewhere in this issue will be
found the opening dates of the vari-
Gus state institutions for learning.
to which attention is called by those
interested.
At recent meeting of the state
board of education full determination
was reached as to the approaching
sessions OF the various school insti-
tutions of the state. In addition to
the state university at Moscow, with
its colleges of letters and science, ag-
riculture. engineering and law, there
are two splendidly equipped normal
schools at Lewiston and Albion, the
Idaho Technical institute at Poca-
tello and the state school for the deaf
and blind at Gooding.
The history of all these institutions
during the year recently closed was
one of gratifying success, 1t is felt by
the immediate administration staff
and by the members of the state
board of education. The state is Sc
curing a good deal of pleasant pub
licity through the excellence of thes'
institutions, and there is to be
determined effort made by the boar
and the different faculties to max
even greater advances during tn
coming year.

LIVE STOCK REPORT

With packers fighting and taking
advantage of the slightest opportun-
ity in the hog trade, it's our opinion
that they are loaded up from their
winters buy and with the provision
market not working out to their lik-
ing, is to our belief the reason they
are so hard to get going and the
cause of two distinct markets each
day.
To-day's supply of $500 included
500 directs and while order buyers
took the good to choice hogs early
about steady at $3.50 TO SITS, trade
soon quoted and it was noon before
packers got in and then only When
they secured a 10c reduction, secur-
ing the bulk of theirs at $3.50 to ST.
60. Owing to the lack of orders the
pig trade was slow and 10c to 15t
lower; ITO to lao pounds selling al
$40 to $7.50; lighter kinds $3.50 tx
81, With rough hogs at $685. to $7.15
The cattle market has doomed thi:
week and to-day's trade shows an ad
vance of 25c over last weeks close
