Greenleaf, Wiilder in J Tracey Com
mencer May 15.
Commencing not later than May 15
the Canyon Construction compai'y
will place on sale ths tonnsitcs oi
Greenleaf, Wilder and Tracey. busi
ness and residence lots will bi sold at
a price within the reach of nil- They
will range from $25 *tp. Greenleaf
and Wilder are both beautifully situ
ated in the heart of the Payette
Boise reclamation project, seven and
12 miles from Caldwell respectively.
Tracey is the company town on the
Snake just a mile and a quarter be
low MusselPs ferry. A ferry will be
established at this point. A new and
shorter road will be opened leading
directly into Caldwell. The construc
tion of the "Golden Gate Railway"
will in all probability extend only to
Wilder this season. Rumors of its
being constructed to Mussell's ferry,
without foundation, blesa in tinnn
known as Homedale, we be
lieve to be without foundation. We
shall endeavor to keep the public al
ways posted as to the different points
touched by the railway so that there
can be no misunderstandings between
the purchasers of town property and
the construction company. No mis
representations of any sort will be put
forth. Exact conditions will be stat
ed as they exist. Where land con
tiguous to new towns have as yet no
water we will tell you so. Where
the population will not warrant a too
lavish expenditure of capital in a
business venture we will tell you so—
our contract with the O. S. L. rail
way, re the townsite privileges places
us in ft position to compel facts, not
fancies. We will not tolerate misre^
presentation in any shape, form oi
manner, and will show up any at
tempted fake or boom enterprise that
comes to our notice wherein intend
ing settlers or investors could be mis
led. We constructed the "Golden
Gate" as far as it is graded, ran sur
veys into the Jordan and Silver City
country, procured the rights of way—
were, in fact, the "parents of the
thought." We have endeavored at
all times to state facts in reference to
the country the road traverses—and
could have disposed of our interests
long ago had we followed the usual
course taken bji boom promoters but
we have refrained from doing so and
the public can rest assured that by
writing to us direct on any matter
that might help decide the settler or
merchant in coming to Idaho we will
furnish facts and facts only.

Burroughs Returns.
F. G .* Buroughs returned to Cald
well on No. 6 Wednesday and says
that Caldwell still looke good
him. Mr. Burroughs went to Sale
Lake April 15 and before returning
his business called him to San Fran
cisco, Roseburg, Oregon, and Port
land. Speaking of the trip he re
ferred to the fact that since leaving
Salt Lake he had only seen the sun
once until he struck Canyon County,
In the whole 2500 mile trip only
one section struck him as compar
able to this section of Idaho and
when pressed as to the location of
the wonderful country he referred
to he stated that the piece lying
between Ashland, Oregon, and Sal
em, Oregon, and the towns In that
territory constituted a magnificent
sample of western progresslveness
and agricultural and horticultural
conditions which ho believed to be
second only to Canyon County.
While at Roseburg, where Mr. Bur
roughs visited an uncle, he met with
a peculiar accident which laid him
up for three days. The ranch
built on a hillside and the porch at
the upper end rests on the ground
and the lower is several feot from
the surface. He stepped off the un
protected end and sustained a se
vere strain of the ankle and a num
ber of bad bruises. Fortunately no
bones were broken and a doctor
patched him up to resume his jour
ney after three days of enforced
Idleness.

SC
WINDOW GARDEN FOR WINTER
Simple Greenhouse May Be Utilized
for Raising Early Plants Like
Cabbage, Tomatoes, Eto.
The drawing shown herewith illus
trates a simple greenhouse that any
one handy with tools can easily make.
It consists of ordinary window-sash
fastened together on three sides and
to the sides and sill of the window.
The roof is also a sash. It is loose
and hinged at the top. It may be
raised to any desired height, serving
as a ventilator to the growing plants.
The best results are to be had from
a south or southeast window.
The cut Illustrates a window of
four lights, 28x40 inches.
The shelves are 18 Inches apart
In shorter windows the shelves ma7
be closer, or fewer in number.
Sufficient heat may be supplied fro»
the living room, or wherever there Is
a constant fire during the winter.
This Is where the plants of early
Window Garden.
cabbage, cauliflower, eggplant and to
matoes may be started, also the pan
sy. asters, petunias, nasturtiums and
other freo flowering annuals.
On the bottom shelf is a galvanized
pan, 6 inches deep. This Is filled with
rich soil composed of leaf-mold and
highly fertilized garden soil. In this
the seeds are planted; the pot plants
are arranged upon the shelves.
The whole thing should be put to
gether with some screws so that it
may be taken down and stored away
during the summer.
Select a window for your garden
that can be ventilated without any
draught on the plants. One that is
absolutely air-tight.
Do not have the shelves too near
the glass, but allow space for a shade
to be pulled down cold nights. When
It is very cold, place several thick
nesses of newspaper between the
shade and the window.
The soil used for potting should be
composed largely of leaf mould and
sand. If leaf mould cannot be used,
resort to rich garden loams, sand and
well-rotted manure, pulverized.
Pots, pans, baskets, boxes should
be provided with holes for drainage,
and a layer of pebbles, stones, broken
crockery or cinders put In the pots,
etc., over the drainage holes.
When a plant needd water, the only
safe way is to water thoroughly when
the top soil is dusty and dry to the
touch.
Spray once a week, and sponge off
the leaves of the palms, rubber
plants and all the smooth leaves with
weak soap suds at least once a month.
Be careful about the temperature,
and remember that plants can stand
a lower temperature with greater for
titude than a high one. The hot, dry
air in most homes is neither good for
human or fiower life, therefore pro
vide ventilation to give fresh air to
the home when cold weather comes.
A pan of water on the stove la an
easy way to provide moisture.
No Tragedy Sitting Down.
The queen of Prussia received me
on the tragic note. At last to sh|ft the
ground 1 asked her to sit down. There
is nothing that cuts into a tragic scene
better, for when people are seated it
becomes a comedy.—Napoleon (Quoted
from the "Corslcan.").
