Thousand Acres

Senator James H. Brady was in
)oise on Thursday completing ar
angements for the pumping system

irrigation tract. The senator said
hat equipment would be provided for
the pumping of one thousand inches
of water on the tract, which would
oe equivalent to five thousand inches
in the main canal. The increased
water supply would permit of the dr.
rigatiOn Of ten thousand acres of land.
1t is probable that more land will be
irrigated when tie success of the pump
ing system shall have been demon
strated.

Of coyote and jack rabbit-that II
some of the rabbits This was fol-
wed i'm the spring Of 1909 by the
! setting out of about fifty acres more
Curg trees, making 175 acres of or.
chard in all. OF this t75 acres all was
set TO winter apples except about Is
ores which were set to prunes. In
ne half Of the remaining 100 acres
we're set peach trees as filters, i'm the
o,her half were set pear trees as
ilers. This means that there are
about eight thousand apple trees,
three thousand five hundred peach
,rees, three thousand five hundred
pear trees and one thousand three
hand.ed prune trees which, by the
way, is some little orchard, to say
the least.
During the season of 1908, owing to
the failure of the irrigation 81 stem,
Mr.. Thompson was forced to haul
water in tank wagons from Mountain
Home, a distance of four miles, to
water the little trees and keep them
alive task that would have made
less determined pair than Sawyer
and Thompson throw up both hands
and quit in despair. But both had
unOounded faith in the future of this
section of our state and we rejoice
with them that their goal lis at last
within their grasp. These gentlemen
will start their first carload of peaches
out of Mountain Home on Thursday
Of thsi week, and others Will follow
rapidly as possible.
Although there are more than one
thousand acres of commercial or
chards in this vicinity, it is said this
viii be the first full car of fruit, ship
ped from tbs point, although it will
be common occurrence from this
time ON. In addition to this immense
orchard Messrs Sawyer and Thomp.
son have many acres in alfalfa, grain
and potatoes, fine residence and a
substantial barn and outbuildings. InI
fact it is an ideal ranch and one worth
going miles to See.-Statesman.

Unique Gathering to Celebrate First
Peach Crop.

At the home of B. p. Thompson
manager Of the big ranch known as
Orchard Acres" owned by c.. l.
Sawyer of Minneapolis, Mimi, occur
red rather unique function, planned
in a way to celebrate the bringing to
maturity this immense ranch s first
bumper crop of fruit.
A few days previous to the event,
Mr.. Sawyer and MIR. Thompson sent
out invitations to the citizens OF
Mountain Home inviting them to be
their guess on Saturday afternoon
and evening, September IL, for the
purpose of inspecting their ranch
and to eat their fill of the luscious
peaches with which the rees are load
I'd to the breaking down point.
About one hundred citizens re-
sponded and visited he ranch at that
time. They were met and welcomed d
to "Orchard Acres" by Mr.. Sawyer
and Mr.. and Mrs. Thompson and
conducted over the ranch on a tour
of inspection and to say that they
are surprised at the size and beauty
If the ranch and the amount of
ruit on the trees would be putting
1t mildly. After returning from their
ramble through the orchard, coffee,
sandwiches and O. her good things to
eat were served and as the guests de.
parted they weie each presented
with a half bushel of beautiful peach
s. All uni ed I'm vot 'ng Messrs. Saw
yer and Thompson the best Of enter
.ainers and all expressed their hopes
and belief in a bright future for the
great plant.
December 1, 1907, Orchard
Acres" was a part CT an immense
,ract of sagebrush, an unattractive
iece of country to look at, but early
n the spring of 1908 a wonderful
transformation had taken place, the
,agebrush had been removed the
ground plowed and leyeled, the acres
lad been set to trees; build ngs had
,een erected, fences built, and busy
nen and women had taken the place.

Some power of the primitive throbs
in every real man, responsive to the
CALI of contest, a natural fact that ac.
counts for the perpetual popularity
of combat. While wrestling bouts,
boxing matches and prize fights
have found their way ON films, they
retire to the shadow in the face of
real fight that marks one of the big
fierce and vital chapters of THE
SPOILERS. While Roy Glenister
is strenuous person. he curbs his
disposition to openly meet and over
throw the nagging scheming McNa-
mara the imminent cause of his ruin,
until the psychological moment. Dis
regarding all restraint that has kept
him from laying hands upon his enc
my, he declares he will break him
with his hands, and discarding his re-
volver, scorning to fight am unarmed
man, he enters the clinch with saw
age joy. While scientific boxing, or
wrestling, according to the rules, is
not here exemplified, these two strong
men put up fiercer and stronger
fight than has ever been caught upon
the flying film. None of the so-called
holds" are b AIRED and many are
used advantageously as the men
strain and struggle, break and clinch,
and put in smashing blows whenever
they are fighting free While there is
lots of science i'm the art of defense
and aggression, this is smashing,
rough and tumble conflict in youth
and agility finally wears down cool
ness and science by the gamen ess
and fitrceness of its onlaught. The
slow, steady lead that finally de-
livers the sinewy Mcnamara into the
steel coil of the "hammer-lock, does
break him in reality. Every move of
this big battle is recorded with a
fidelity and realism that is thrilling.

Brownsville, Texas.-One American
planned attack by Mexicans early
Monday on camp of patrol of the
Third cavalry near Santa Maria,
Texas. AS a result American troops
in the lower Rio Grande valley are
held in readiness for instant action.
Private Anthony Kraft of Detroit,
Mich, was shot through the head and
died before the fight was over.
Trumpeter Harold T. Forney of Wa
tertown, N. Y, was shot through the
abdomen and is expected to die. Ser
geant ames G. Walsh was slightly
wounded.
Although surprised and surround
ed, ten troopers of A troop, Third cav
airy, under Sergeant Walsh made a
spectacular defense and stood off
three times their number of assail-
ants until the approach of another de.
tachment of United States troops
forced the Mexicans to retreat.
The camp where the fight occurred
was in grove about a shed in a
ranch corral. The American detach-
ment slept in this shed and under
the ebony trees beside it. Before the
men had been awakened near day
break, one of the soldiers, who was
starting the breakfast fire, saw, less
than 100 yards away. outside of the
corral fence, one man ON top of
straw stack and five others on the
ground nearby He shouted a warn
ing. Sergeant Walsh awakened the
command and as the men reached for
their rifles the Mexicans opened fire
This fire, starting from the straw
stack, quickly encircled the Ameri-
cans until they were fighting With
detachments of Mexicans, probably
totalling thirty stationed at FIVE sep
arate shelters.
State peace officers searching
American houses in the vicinity of
the ranch seized two wagon loads of
arms after the battle, but there was
nothing to connect any Americans di-
rectly with the fight In addition to
the arms seized they found many old
fashioned firearms in the possession
of Mexicans. These were destroyed.
Gen. E. P. Nafarrate, at Matamo-
ros, Mex, in response for the arrest
of Luis de la Rosa and Aniceto Pi
zano, sent word that he was searching
for them. These two Mexicans were
alleged to be signers of the most re-
