Tho great Snake river valley of this
State is divided into two mrts, tbo up
per and tho lower. There is no natural,
nor ns yet. artificial, lino of domarka
tion between the two, but for tho pur
poso of this article a. line drawn north
and south through the town of Mini
doka on the main line of tho Orogon
Short Lino railway will form tbo east
ern boundary; from this lino to the
western ond of tho vallc- it is 240
miles, and the lower valley proper will
average thirty miles in width, but this
will include that part of tho valloy
formed by the Owvhno and the Malheur
rivers in eastern Orogon, mnking in all
1,GOS,000 acres of land. Of this thcro
is probably a quarter of a million acres
in Oregon, and this acreage does not
include the lateral valleys, of which,
on tho south 31 do of the Snake river,
the priucipal are the Salmon, tho Bru
no., the Owyhee and the Malheur, and
on the north side of the Snako tho Big
and Little Wood, tho Boise, tho Pay
ette and the Weiser.
Tho soil of Lhe lower Snako river val
loy is composed of lnva ash and tbo
erosion of lava rock minglod with vege
table mold, constituting tho most in
destructible aud fortile class of soil in
tho world.
Railway Communication.
Tho trunk lino of tbo Oregon Short

true in the southern part of the State,
thero are evidences of prosperiti' on
every band in tbo rural districts us well
as in the cities and towns.
In a Great Empire.
Tributary to - and accessory to this
parallelogram and in addition to
tho -1,008.000 acres which it contains,
thero are 21.221.30S acres of uplands,
not including those of eastern Oregon,
consisting oi rich agricultural valleys.
Mountain ridges and mountain peaks
and the headwaters of tho rivers, espec
ially on the north side, are heavily tim
bered with fine yellow pine and fir,
mingled with an "excellent species ot
larch and other members of tbo conifer
family, and many of the mountain dis
tricls'aro rich in gold, silver, copper and
lead ores. A number of dividend -paying
mines aro now in operation and the
metal product of 10015 amounted to $2,-57-1,-i
19.82. This vast territory is clothed
with nutritious grasses and furnishes
one of tho best, livestock ranges in the
Northwest. and tho parallelogram
named is the dumping ground for all
its products.
This territory, exclusive of the Oro-;--on
part, bad, in IDOG, 17G,50S head of
cattle, -tO.O.TJ head of horses, 10,-iSO
head of swine. 1.25S.G75 head of sheep
aud seventy-five saw and planing mills.
Miles of Irrigating Canals.
Of the 25,S20,39S acres, not including
that on tho Oregon side, there aro 1,
J15,1S5 acres under irrigation ditchoa
and canals, which were all constructed
by private capital or by individual or
co-operative labor except the great
Twin Falls project, which was construct
ed under the Carey act, and actually
irrigates 210.000 acres of land; also
except lhe Minidoka project, which was
constructed by the National Govern
ment under Hie reclamation act. and
irrigates approximately 70,000 acres. In
tho eastern end of the parallelogram, in
Lincoln comity, two great corporations
aro now engaged in constructing reser
voirs and canals. They are both oper
ating under the Carey act. one of them,
tho Twin Falls North Sido Land &
Water company, which has put under
water 1S0.000 acres, and the othor tho
Idaho Irrigation company, which has
put undor water 110,000 acres. In the
western half of tho parallelogram the
National Government, under the re
clamation act and under tho supervision
of Engineer 1). W. Koss, whose skill
and brain constructed tho Minidoka
dam. is now engaged in constructing
what is known as the Payette-lioiso
project, consisting of reservoirs, dams
and canals which, when completed, will
put under water '170.000 acres.
Wonderfully Productive
Tho elevation of the lower Snako
river valley above sea level runs from
30o4 feet at the western end of the
valley lo -I2S0 feet at. Minidoka in tho
eastern end. The chief products of
the Statu include all tho cereals, alfalfa,
clover, timothy and potatoes. Wheat
averages forty bushels to tho acre, bar
ley fifty, oats sixty-live, alfalfa five tons
oi? hay to the acre and potatoes 250
bushels. Already there aro ten placer
mills equipped with all the modern ma
chinery in use in that industry. All the
fruits known to the temperate zone arc
grown in Idaho except the citrus fam
ily. There are reported to bo in orchard
-'lt,5G-l acres, from which in 100G, a half
crop 3'oar, after supplying the homo
market, a number of evaporators and
ono cannery, there were shipped to tho
Eastern markets 102 carloads, which
netted $5(30,840. This season's crop was
a fine one, and about doublo in value
the crop of last year, or worth the sum
of $1,121,080. This year one carload of
1 prunes netted the shippor" over $1S00.
I In 1907 there wcro manufactured
1 from sugar beets grown in Idaho about
(i?!,700,000 pounds of sugar, valued at
$2,911,500, and next year's crop will' be
I far in excess of tho crop of this your.?
This industry in a great help to the
ranchers who raise the beets tor which
good prices have been paid. Last year
the total proceeds of tho output or
creamery and dairy products was $400,
000 and the orchard products wcro
valued at $2,992,701. while the State
raised 15,000.000 bushels of wheat,
valuod at $9,000,000; 28,000,000 bushels
of oats, valued at $1-1,000,000; 4.000,000
bushels of barley, valued at $2,000,000.
In 190G the mineral output of the Gem
State aggregated the magnificent sum
of $25,000,000. The Stato now has 217,
8S5 cattle, valued at 2.40S.SS'!; 1,398,-
777 sbeop, valued ul; $3.19 , .184; 31,139
swine, valued at $125,750: 90,358 horses
valued at $2,300,95-1; S 1(1 mules, valued
at $28,500; 39.035 milch cows, valued
nt $-lGS,420. There wcro 2G0' saw mills
roported in 190(1, with sin annual output
valued at $7,213.19(5. In the north is
tho greatest timber section of the Stale
and the Pnlouso whent belt of Nez
Perco and Lntab counties has become
famous for its product. As in the south
ern part of the State, all the cereals,
fruits, grasses and grains aro grown,
and in mineral output that, section ranks
first. It has splendid transportation
facilities nnd the liner, operating there
nre tho Northern IJncitic; Great North
ern, Orogon Ittver & Navigation and
tho Spokane-Coeur d 'Alene lilcctnc
railway, besides several boat lines on
tbo lakes. In fact, north Idaho, as well
ns the southern part of the. Stato. is as
woll provided for in thin respect as any
section of tho intennountain country,
and capital for these materially essen
tial enterprises is rapidly finding its
way into the State.
Has Splendid Schools.
Idaho's' State institutions are in u
flourishing condition. All of her schools
are well filled, the attendance this year
being far in excess of that recorded
last year, and tho curriculum of each
institution has been materially un
proved until today Idaho stands second
to no other State with respect to edu
cation, when all things are taken into
consideration, ami particular!- tho j act
that this is a youtig Stato. Her schools
aro tho Albion and Lewiston normals,
tbo Pocntello academy and the State
university at Moscow, besides many
private schools and academies. Many
improvements have been made at each
of tho State school.1? during the past
year especially at the university, where
a magnificent $325,000 administration
building is in courso of construction to
take tho place of the one destroyed by
lire about two years ago.
A $1,000,000 State capilol is now bc
;n Around at Boise and other State in
stitutions are being improved as the
necessity requires. Tho penitentiary ana
Soldiers'' Homo at Boiso, tbo asylums
at Blackfoot and Oro Fino, the indus
trial school at St. Anthon-. and the
deaf, dumb and blind school at Boiso
aro creditable institutions and arc in
charge of competent persons.

Make Social Drinking
Unpopular ' I
If social drinking in tho society -woTld
could be made unfashionable tho cause
of temperance would be greatly ad
vanced. If social drinking among mo
could be mado unpopular total absti
noncc would receive a mighty impulse.
It is as a social custom that strong
drink begins its deadly work. The
young man docs not take his first, drink
because ho likes it. Ho takes it bo
causo ho thinks it will mako him seem
manly and up-to-dato to do so. TTo docs
not nurchnao a bottle of whiskey and
go otf by himself to drink it. Ho may
do that later on; but at first he drinks
for tho social pleasuro bo expects toldc
rivc from it.
Tho social drinker is in a sort of
fool's paradiso. Ho imagines ho is hav
ing a good timo; but he is blocking his
way to advancement. The man who
carries a whiskev handicap has a hard
mad to travel. "Nobody wants him.
The real rulers of tho world have de
cided against whiskey. Railroads and
corporations have adopted ricid rules
with regard to strong drink. They will
not employ men who drink. They will
not continue in their employ men who
are known to use intoxicating liquor.
Trndes unions aro beginning to bar
tho drinking man. They aro finding
him an expensive proposition. By their
rules there is a. regular scale of wages
for certain kinds of work. But tho
drinking man fails to make good. Ilo
reduces tho average aud brings ro
proach on worthy inctnbcrs.
In these days of close compolition
and small margins, it is nocossarv for
a man to bo at his best, if he would suc
ceed; and no man cm bo entirely fit
who is ever so slightly under the in
fluence of Btrong drink.
Then thero is tho domestic, or home,
sido of tho drink question. Tho man
who driuks brines wretchedness and
misery to his family. He is not a good
husband. He ib not a good father. Ho
defrauds thoso whom he has sworn to
lovo and cherish- Ho robs thorn of thoir
birthright of honor and protection. If
whiskey makes him vicious they fear
him. If it makes him stupid they are
ashamed of hip. If ho ib poor they
suffer deprivation and want. If ho is
rich thoy look to the timo "whon bad
management or neglect vrill reduco
thorn to poverty, and added to tho hu
miliation of his habits thero will bo
(tho discomforts of penury.
"Whiskey hna been driven from near
ly every place of honor and trust. It
is a bar to achievement, an enemv to
happiness, and a menace to health. vou
as a medicino alcohol has lost iis vogue,
and tho best physicians Beldoin pre
scribe it.
But in spite of business requirements
and domestic needs, social drinking con
tinues. Thero is something incompre
hensible about tho tolerance of a custom
which, if continued, may ruin a man's
prospects.
Sobriety is stock in trade for tho
ambitious man. Tt opens tho door of
opportunity. It gives him a chanco to
utilizu his ability. It converts his ouer
gy into cash. It materializes his as
pirations. Inebriety blights ambition,
closes tho door to opportunity, para
lyzes energy, nnd destroys tho aspira
tions. Sobriety builds up. Inebriety pulls
down Tho two aro antagonistic Thoy
havo nothing in common. And yet, at
tho very time when sobriety is at tho
highest rnto of premium, and drunken
ness at the lowest rate of discount, we
aro told that Bocial drinking is on tlio
increase.
It must be remembered that tho mod S
eTato drinkers who occupy high posi-
tions havo reached those positions in j
spito of their drinking practices, ami
not because of them. Whilo they might !
defend theeo habits in themselves, thev (
would bo quick to object to thorn in :
thoso who asked for their assistance.
Thero ih no profession or position ot
occupation where drinking habits aro
a recommendation. If thoy aro tolerat
ed, thoy aro not approved. Scicnco
and industry havo pronounced against,
them. It remains for Fashion to say
tho final ward.
i
There is an army of men to whom
anr pronouncement against -whisKoy,
wh'ich did not carry healing in Us mes
sage would bo useless. These men werfl
the social drinkors of a few years ago.
