In company with Commissioner
Heiss we paid visit to the Shoshone
grade on Saturday morning last, and
found the work progressing very sat
isfactory. The magnitude of the work
being done there is hard to realize
by a casual inspection of the same,
as the greater part OF the same has
been accomplished by blasting
roadway through the solid rock at
the approach to the incline. In or
der to facilitate the work the grade
has been closed to traffic for time,
but the work has so far advanced
that the grade is now open for tra itic
again, although some work still re-
mains to be done III widening the
roadway.
An entirely new approach has
Z been made on this side of the river
5 which will be found vast improve
2 ment over the steep incline which
= was formerly necessary to climb. Al
y the present time there are 2S con
victs employed on the work and az
e vet there has been no complaint en-
o tered by any of them, but on th'
l. contrary they seem to enjoy tni
l. work much better than being coniin
9 ed at the penitentiary.
" In addition to the making OF
'e new approach to the grade, consio Il
ut able work is being done all along h
S same by widening it in places so
le to give a better opportunity fc

ORIGIN OF THE RED CROSS SEAL
Anti-TubercuIosis Workers after n
S75O,OOO Fund.

Nearly s2,5OO,000 has been raised
by Red Cross Christmas Seals in the
last seven years, and yet many peO-
pie who will buy these holiday stick
ers at this eighth annual sale do not
know how the charity stamp or.gi-
mated
1t was war that brought forth ne
charity stamp-our Civil War of 'Cl
to '65. Some of your grandmothcrs
first played "post-office" with stick
ers similar to Red Cross Seals way
back in 1862, when they conceived
the idea of selling stamps at fairs
for the benefit of the relief fund for
the soldiers hospitals in Brooklyn.
Boston and elsewhere. Nearly ST.
OOO.OO was raised in this way before
I1S65. After the war this method Of
raising money was discontinued in
this country for a generation, al
though it found vogue in Portugal,
Switzerland, Austria, France, Spain,
Denmark, Norway, Russia, Sweden
and other European countries. There
are now several thousands of diff r
ent types of charity stamps used in
all parts of the world, as many as 40
being used in Austria for children's
+ hospitals alone.

NORTH SIDE PRODUCTS
WIN THE HONOKS
Potatoes Grown on This Tract Take
First Honors at the National
Potato Exhibit.

II has been so common for North
Side products to take first premiums
at county and state fairs, that little
attention has been paid to exhibits
at these places during the past year
ment, however, that should bring
pride to every settler on the tract.
George w. Dewey, who has been
connected with the local govern
ment experiment station here for the
past year, was in attendance at the
National Potato Exhibit which was
held at Grand Rapids, Mich, the frs,
week in the present month, and the
pleasing information comes from him
that two of the local potato growers
in Jerome carried away the honors
at this exhibit. Mr.. Dewey reports
the following awards:
Peoples potato took first prize IL
the Pearl group over Colorado th'
only other exhibitor in that variety
Netted Gems took first over nin'
other contestants.
Idaho Rurals took first over TWEEN
ty-three other entries.
Only ribbons were awarded.
A portion of the netted gems whic
took the honors came from the fiel
OF John Rigney, just south OF tow
while the remainder of the collection
, Including the Idaho Rurals, wei
n grown by VIM. Wagner, of this plac
1t should be a source of pride
the residents of the tract to kno
that we have in our midst two OF II
champion potato growers in Il
:, United States. and that the quail
- of the potatoes raised on the Nor
Side tract in southern Idaho outclas
es those of the famous Greeley d
trict, of Colorado, and in fact eve
other district in the United States,
II must be remembered that this
hibit was not a county or state
fair, and that the competition extei
ed throughout the entire L. 5.
- Truly the North Side is fast G
- ting a place on the map.

Some interest has already been
manifested in this section over the
raising of sugar beets, but so far
no one has gone into the industry on
any large extent. Some investiga-
tions have been made along this line
all of which have proven that the in
dustry can be made a very lucrative
one to the farmers under proper man
agement. The Rupert Democrat has
the following record of the result ac-
complished by one grower in that
section:
ID. f. Black, whose ranch, two
and half miles west of town, shows
the results of the use of the above
named mixture. is somewhat proud
of his beet record. as he has reason
to be. Mr.. Black went into beets eA
perimentally this year, with onl!
five acres planted. He is so wei
satisfied that next year his acreage
will be very much increased. Lik'
the good business man he is, MI
Black inventoried his yield on

alive estimate that the cream snip

jerome Cooperative Creamery was
Incorporated with capital stock of
$4,000 divided into 200 shares Of
$1,000 each
Th contract for the erection of the
building was awarded to the jerome
Concrete 4 Construction Co., at a
price OF S2G65.OO, and the building
as it stands today is a credit to the
Construction Co. and to the stock
holders The dimensions OF the build
ing are 40 54 feet, one story in
height, with a large storage room
above the main floor. The building
was constructed Of lava rock laid in
very tasty manner, and presents a
very beautiful appearance. Some
notifications were made in the con-
tract, and large septic tank has
been installed, which will increase
the contract price OF the building to
possibly about $1,000. In the Sc
lection OF the machinery for the
has been given to procuring only the
best that could be had and under the
advice OF Mr.. Braman, such machin-
cry has been procured and the direct
Ors feel that jerome now has one OF
the most complete creameries in the
state. with a possible capacity o
1000 pounds of butter per day.
An ice maxim machine and refrig
Grating plant has been installed
which has &capacity OF making tw'
tons OF ice per day besides furnish
ing sufficient refrigeration for tn
plant. II is the intention to furnis
ice for domestic and other purposes
not only for this town but to ada
cent ones also. The machine is mar

L expenditure of little over S2,7O
