The Thorpe brothers were arrested.
the ground about the roots OF the
beech tree was dug up. and some but
tons and the metal parts OF a pair Of
~suspenders were found. This evidence
was considered SO strong that the
Thorpe brothers were urged to con
TESS in order that Justice should be
meted out to each in accordance with
what he deserved. James, under the
incessant pleadings of his spiritual ad-
wiser. finally gave way and confessed
that he had been the murderer. But

TALK COLONIZATION
Upper Salmon People are Enthusiastic
About Prospects.

According to the Contact Miner, it
is the opinion of people living in the
vicinity of Contact and in the upper
Salmon valley that the Utah Construc-
ton company plans to cOlouiZe the
lands at present devoted to the raising
of grain and forage for their cattle;
especially is this looked for in the
event that all the plans for Contact
materialiZe, and Contact becomes the
big mining center it is now presumed
it will.
In the last issue of the Miner the
proposition is discussed as follows:
mining is not the only attraction
the Contact region will eventually
have. While mining will be the pre-
dominating pursuits OF this regions, ii
present development and results are
any criterion of what may be eX-
pected, there will be a time in the no
far distant future when the little Sal
mon river valley will support a con-
siderable population devoted to agri-
culture.
"This valley is at present owned
by the Utah Construction company
whose chief business in this neighbor-
hood is the raising of cattle for mar
ket. The local ranches of this com
pany are a part of an immense tract
of 175,000 acres of decided land and
over 1,000,000 acres of leased land that
extends from Rock Creek, Idaho to
Tecoma and Monticello, Nevada, a dis
lance of about 200 miles. This forms
one of the largest ranches in the en-
tire west. In addition to cattle, large
herds of sheep are grazed on portions
of this ranch.
Until about three years ago, the
only crop that was raised in the river
bottoms and on the lower benches
capable of being watered was wild
hay depended upon to support the

the fact that the proper designation of

quest that it may always be SO called.

ly, an extensive ditch system was
perfected and several thousand acres

acres of the rich alluyial soil near the
river is oyergrown with willows, and
until recently no attempt has ever
been made to clear these away. Some
clearing is now going on in the val
ley near Contact and around the COM
pany ranch at San Jacinto. The pos
sibilities of the valley are stupendous
from an agricultural outlook if this
land is once divided up and colonized.
This is the generally reputed ultimate
intention of the Utah Construction
company. Much Of course, depends
upon the result of the suits now on be-
tween this company and the Salmon
River Land and Water company. The
possibilities for colonization are i'm
minent, nevertheless, as there are ex-
cellent chances for the construction
of storage reservoirs on the upper
river that will be capable of conserv-
ing the flood waters and furnishing
a large volume for irrigation in the
valley. Then, the waters of Thou
sand Springs valley creek and many
other sources of supply are not under
dispute at all. The lands of the val
ley will eventually support hundreds
of persons where one now subsists."
