“Scotty’s Caravaners” Happy In West
Pictures taken at Roseworth tract,
Idaho, where "Scotty's Caravan” has
settled. William D. Scott (Scotty),
luftder of the former Brooklynites, is
shown with his western sombrero.
Above Is the home that J. I. Holder
built himself, and below, the family
of Mr. and Mrs. Smithwick. living

•
N. E. A. Service
ROSEWORTH TRACT, Idaho.—
Giant trees are crashing down;
frame houses are going up; camp
fires are burning; songs rise from
the tented village.
Thus is "Scotty’s Caravan.” which
reached its destination recently after
having motored to Idaho from
Brooklyn, “getting set” to live in a
civilization made out of wilderness.
The caravan originally consisted of
28 families. Four have deserted. The
remaining 24 are building their own
homes —three-room cottages— and
will soon turn to farming.
Just three months ago all of these
families were living in steam heated
apartments in Brooklyn.
Today the women in the caravan
are togged out in khaki outing
clothes, preparing meals over open
camp fires, and keeping house on a
few boxes and trunks.
('all of tlie West
The call of the west came when
P. C. Merideth. who with his
brother, former secretary of agricul
ture. E. T. Merideth, owns the Rose
worth tract, offered good crop land
for sale cheap.
William D. Scott, of Brooklyn, or
ganized the caravan and a long
string of autos and auto trailers
headed for Idaho.
Arrival at Roseworth brought
some dissatisfaction. It was feared
that the Salmon River Canyon, ly
ing between Roseworth and the town
of Buhl, would prevent profitable
marketing of crpps.
A committee of the settlers went
to Boise and asked that a suspension
bridge be built. Governor Davis has
indicated this will be done as soon
as the territory is sufficiently built
up.
The former Brooklynites say they
will never return to city life.
"I want you to see my home." said
J. I. Holder, one of the settlers. "I've
built it almost by myself. Some boys
from Buhl gave me a hand, but no
carpenters were hired.
"Some of us were disappointed at
first. Things were a bit harder
than we expected. But that's worn
off; I believe we have a wonderful
opportunity to make a fine thing out
of the project.”
Parents Are Happy
The rest agree with Holder.
Families with children are espe
cially enthusiastic about the open
country. The nearest school house
is six miles away, but the children
are taken to and from it in a school
auto bus.
Mon folks are taking advantage of
fine fishing and good pheasant shoot
ing.
"Scotty.” the caravan leader, is
building himself a log cabin with a
sod roof.
Church services at the Roseworth
Tract are conducted in the open air
by Rev. Charles Baird, who drives in
from Twin Falls every Sunday.
PORT PRO JECTS
ALL OVERU. S.
Great Interest Being Shown,
Says J. Spencer Smith,
of New Jersey
NEW YORK, Oct. 31.—Great In
terest is manifested throughout the
whole country in the development
of the Pbrt of New York and the
work of the port authority "as a
pioneer in proper port planning.”
was the information brought by J.
Spencer Smith, vice chairman of the
Port of New York Authority and
president of the New' Jersey Board
of Commerce and Navigation, who
has just returned from the conven
tion of the American Association of
Port Authorities held at Seattle,
Wash., and has been the guest of
port officials and chambers of com
merce in a dozen cities to discuss
New' York problems.
Mr. Smith said .yesterday:
"There is a great desire through
out the country for port develop
ment. Every community bordering
on a navigable harbor or river wants
to become a seaport. Many of these
cities have watched with great in
terest the action of New York and
New Jersey in creating a commis
sion to make a survey of the needs
of the Port of New York. The rep
resentatives of the cities I visited
were keen to learn the results of the
investigation and what success the
newly created port authority was
meeting with.
“The endorsement that the policy
adopted by New York and New Jer
sey has received from thoughtful
citizens throughout the country vin
ciicaies me vuiun me innuueio ui
legislatures of these states possessed.
"Many of the Pacific coast cities
are planning big terminal develop
ments. Before doing so. however,
they feel that they should make a
survey of what they have to offer in
order that the right kind of develop
ment may take place. They realize
that millions of dollars may be wast
ed if the right course is not pursued.
Largely for this reason they were
eager to learn how we proceeded.
Pnquestionably the Port of Xew
York Authority is being looked upon
as the pioneer of proper port plan
ning.
"It is admitted that transporta
tion facilities are the keys to busi
ness supremacy. It is most fortun
ate for the commercial welfare of
Xew York and New Jersey that there
is an agency such as the port au
thority. Alert to conditions, with the
knowledge in hand as a result "t
the investigations and studies con
stantly being made, the port author
ity can anticipate the march of ad
vents and thereby protect and in
sure the supremacy of the Port of
New Y'ork.
“The ambition of the Port of New
York district should be to synchro
nize the commerce flowing through
it from all parts of the American
hemisphere as well as the world, so
that it will go on its way at the least
cost. That this was the goal we
were striving for. was the message
I gave to our western friends. I am
certain we can count on their co
operation and help. The western
people have full confidence in the
future of our country and so should
we. They are planning for great
development and progress and so
must we. We are on the right track
ill we need is vision and energy to
carry on.’ ”
FARGO. X. D.. Oct. 31 (By the
Vssociated Press).—R. A. Nestos. In
lependent gubernatorial candidate
held a lead of 7,761 over Governor
r.vnn J. Frasier, non-partisan, when

EMPLOYMENT OFFICE
OPENED IN ROOSEVELT
ROOSEVELT. Oct. 31:—An em
ployment office under the auspices
of the mayor and borough council
was opened today in the borough
hall. The office is in charge of Bor
ough Clerk Walter V. Quin. Efforts
I are being made to register every un
employed man in the borough and
to find employment for him is possi
ble. An improved card system is be
ing used by ifr. Quin in the registra
tion work which tells him at a
glance Just what kind of a position
the applicant is best fitted for.
Although the office opened for the
first time today, at 11 o’clock fifty
men had registered. The officials of
this borough are of the opinion that
there is not as much unemployment
here as in other nearby municipali
ties. The office will be open daily
until the labor situation improves.
TRAFFIC MOVES SLOWLY IN
FOG ON LAND AND WATER
Traffic on land and water was
greatly hampered this morning and
during the night in one of the
worst fogs spread over this section
in years. The ferryboat Perth Am
boy of the Staten Island Rapid
Transit plying between this city and
Tottenville, was the only craft
that appeared to be navigating in
these waters.
With the exception of one or two
trips at eai&r hours the ferryboat
plyed cautiously back and forth
over the sound withotu an accident.
What trips were made were on
time, the boat entering cither
slip on both sides of the sound
almost as good as on a clear day.
All trolley and busses in the early
hours both in and out of the city j
had to proceed with caution. The
continued fog for the last several j
Mi&iiis ami hiui muho *•’ i
have been the worst In years. Ship- I
ping in this and all neighboring j
waters have been tied up as the
result of the dense mist.
As the fog began to lift shortly
after 10 o’clock small crafts could !
be seen to be starting to stir and i
traffic on the water began to move. |
