TO BUILD HIGHWAY
GALENA SUMMIT
BLAINE CO. WILL OPEN ROAD TO
STANLEY BASIN AND THE
SEAFOAM MINING DIST.

The construction of a per cent
grade over the old Galena summit out
of Ketchum will open to auto truck
transportation one of the greatest min
ing sections in the west-the Stanley
basin and Seafoam districts-and re-
suit in greater mining activity in
south central Idaho than ever before
Major Fred r Reed now actively en-
gagged in developing mining properties
in that part of the state, left for
HALEY yesterday, determined to do his
part towards bringing the construction
Of this highway about. Major Reed is
full of genuine enthusiasm for the de-
prospects. He has only words of en-
couragement for the famous mining
section and expects to witness great
development in that section of the
state.
"Blaine county has placed its appli-
cation with the government and both
have agreed on the construction of
the per cent grade over the sum-
nit" said Major Reed. "They will go
$3.50 on the highway and reduce the
grade, now from IS to 20 per cent, down
to per cent, so that auto truck
freighting can be carried on success
fully over the road. This will mean
the taking out of tons of very high
ore and the development of many
mines which for years have been
forced to remain idle because of lack
of transportation facilities. 1t is go
ing to be big thing for that section
of the state and. in fact, for all Ida
no."
Just before departing for Haley Ma
jor Reed was notified that S. ]. Fried
man had made rich strike of silver
lead ore in his property, the Red
Cloud, in the Haley country. 1t is
a 2O-inch vein and the tunnel is now
in 1900 feet Other strikes are being
almost daily.
Major Reed has charge of the Silver
Lead Mining company and is active
n it's development. 1.-The constructive
of Idaho is more pre-
ciou5 to the people than anything
slse," said Major Reed. What we
need to do is to pull together for that
and all work for more
prosperous Idaho."-Capital News.

WHY NOT IN
VESTIGATE NOW

No one who has known the irrigat-
ed west in past years. prior to 1900.
and who has not visited the western
states since that year, can realize what
strides have been made in develop
ment. This was brought to the mind
of the writer in a recent trip through
Colorado, Utah, Idaho and Wyoming.
Utah and Idaho appear to have made
states, and this is no doubt due to
the fact that in each of these states
the work of reclamation has been car
ried on by both Federal and private
effort. In these states the work done
by private capital has gone far ahead
of any other state with the exception
of California
The Twin Falls section Of Idaho.
which has been developed Largely
through the efforts of private corpora
tions, is perhaps the best illustration
OF the benefits of irrigation in the
United States, if not in the world.
1t is safe to say that the annual
acre profit in the Twin Falls South
Side tract is greater than any similar
purely agricultural area in the world.
This, it should be understood, is on
ordinary farm crops and live stock.
and should not be confounded with
the extremely productive and high
priced orchard lands in California, Or
egon and in some sections of Wash
ington.
It is stated by those who have made
a study of the situation. that farm
ers on this tract are earning annually
from two to three times the original
cost Of the land. This cost, if the
writer's memory serves him property.
was s35 per acre.
It will thus be seen that the man
who settled on the land at the time
Of it's opening and who stayed with
the game" is beyond the need Of help
from money lenders.
This peculiarly fine condition in ID
aho is due in part to the fact that
the soil and climate conditionsS. OF
that state make it an ideal one for
the propagation of seed-bearing
plants. Many of the large seed houses
are now buying their stock from farms
operated under their direct supervis-
ion and the reports indicate profits Of
such magnificent proportions that we
hesitate to quote them-a profit Of
5000 per acre per annum for seed is
not uncommon, and this figure is fire.
luently surpassed.
This statement will apply equally
well to other sections of Idaho and
should interest the land hungry. no
matter where they are located-Irri-
cation Age for October, 1916.

seains Work in Idaho

In southern Idaho there was one
mission with a pastor at Malad City.
Rev. c. NJ. Knox, and the teachers in
the school were the Misses Van Wor-
mer, now distinguished for their ac-
complishments. Miss Sadie is a plan
ist of high order. The other sister is
now Mrs. W. D. Standrod OF Pocatello.
At this time the church Of Boise was
the only Presbyterian church of the
whole region, and that was without a
pastor. Mr.. Pratt entered heartily in
to the service. Churches were estab-
lished, the congregation and church
built by him at Bellevue being a leader
in the work.
The synod Of Utah. comprising the
states of Utah, Colorado, Montana and
Idaho, was in 1883 divided and the
presbytery of Wood River was organ
lied. The synod of Utah was again /
divided and the synod of Idaho created /

SAW VISION Of
IDAHO COLLEGE
REV. EDWARD PRATT OF sHO-
SHONE WAS AMONG PION-
EERs IN GREAT WORK.

In the stories Of the Idaho pioneers
published by The Statesman, those of
the early preachers have been few,
and yet none had a greater influence
on the future state than had these
same courageous missionaries.
One Of the men whose life has been
closely knit into the annals of the
Presbyterian church of southern Ida
no is the Rev Edward Pratt, now liv-
ing the life of retired pastor in Sho-
shone. one of the first men to whom
the vision of Christian college for
Idaho was given.
1t was natural that the need of a
literary influence should appeal to
Mr.. Pratt, since he was surrounded by
distinctlvely literary atmosphere
from the time of his birth.
He was born in New York state, on
the banks of the Susquehanna, made
illustrious at it's source by the novels
of James Fennimore Cooper of Coop
erstown, Milford. the town of Mr..
Pratts birth. was only eight miles
distant In 1850, the year of his birth,
the stories of Cooper were becoming
the classics of the country and tradi-
tions of the Indian troubles, which
occurred along the course of the riv-
er, eliminating in the massacres of
Cherry Valley and wyoming, were still
preserved and were a living force in
the simple life of the community.
Entered Yale at Sixteen
Born of Hardy New England stock, |
at the age of left to the care of a |
widowed mother the young lad, in |
delicate health, was nourished in the |
quiet of the village under the tuition
Of teacher and pastor. At the age Of
ii he entered Cooperstown seminary, /
and graduating at 16, he took the ex-
aminatio for Yale and entered that 4
college. Called home in the midst of /
his college work by the death of his
mother. he later entered and was
graduated from Columbia university.
OF a religious temperament, with an
exalted idea Of the divine call to the
service for humanity, Mr.. Pratt en-
tered and was graduated from the
Union Theological seminary at the
time when the Rev. DR.. Briggs, Philip
Shaft and others OF the same high or
der of intellect were professors.
At graduation he was ordained in
the Presbyterian church of New York
as minister of the gospel After un-
usual labors in the chapel of the
Fourth Presbyterian church, mission
in the upper part of the city, which
ater became Calvary church, Mr.. Pratt
found a change of climate necessary
and on the advice of friends came to

Frieda Hempel. star Of the Metro

enough time from her favorlte game,
Mouschel, to tell the interviewer what
she thought of the very latest step for
ward In the motion picture industry.

ed the interviewer, 1.-THE Paramount
Pictures Corporation has taken one Of
the most important steps forward in
the industry. They have arranged with
Schirmer, the music publisher, to Sc
lect scores for their pictures, each film
on their program to be accompanied
by complete bound book. In 9TH

audiences are going to hear night
after night selections from Mendels-
sohn, Strauss, Wagner. Delibes, Saint
Saens, Victor Herbert-all the great
composers, dead and living. These Sc

Of the screen. Not only Is the artistic
taste Of an audience now been given
the chance to crafty itself, but the
coupling up of the best music with mo-
ton picture plays opens field for a
better understanding of the drama.
"These scores will be so arranged
that they can be used for any size Or
chestra from single pianist to the
largest symphony orchestra.
These scores will be furnished to
the exhibitors by the exchanges upon
