UNLUCKY MAN WAS LUCKY.
Mr. Carl Lewis of this city, who was
unfortunate enough to have his arm
broken, is shaking hands with him
self for the fact that he had been ini
tiated the day before the accident into
the Fraternal Brotherhood, an insur
ance order which pays accident bene
fits, as well as life, permanent disabil
ity and oldage benefits.
He has just received a check for the
amount of his benefits from the su
preme lodge of the order, which is
located in Los Angeles, California, and
he is very much pleased with the
prompt manner in which his claim w
as paid.
The Fraternal Brotherhood was or
ganized here in August, and this is the
first claim. The lodge has a good
membership here and is growing rap
idly, as it takes both men and women
into the same lodge, and members do
not have to die to win.
The policy they offer is a very at
tractive one, and the member wins
whether he dies or lives. For total
disability the full face of the policy is
paid.
Mr. Chas. Dempstr, the state man
ager, is in the city and expects to ini
tiate another class soon. He is also
organizing the drill team, which will
be in charge of Captain Loomis, one
the city's very efficient drill master.
T. F. B. drill team consists of not less
than eight young men and eight young
ladies, and it makes a very attractive
team, and it is a valuable experience
for the members.

$30,000 HOTEL FOR JEROME.
Investment Co. Anticipates Growth of
Town.
Jerome, Ida., Oct. 10.—The finishing
touches of the Twin Falls North Side
canal are now being given. Donald
Grant, the contractor, has completed
his contract for the main canal ahead
of time. One of the most prominent
features of the canal is the rubble
wall, which is four and one-fourth
miles long and 10 feet high. The width
on the bottom is a little over half the
height of the wall. The wall is con
structed of lava rock and concrete and
is a masterpiece of masonry. O'Neill
& Bro. were the sub-constractors un
der Donald Grant and built the wall.
Donald Grant and his score of sub
contractors are now actively engaged
on the 300 miles of lateral. Water
will be ready for delivery, as per Mr.
Kuhn's promise to the settlers, April
1, 1909.
Hustling Young City.
The new town of Jerome is very
much in the public eye these days and
is certainly a busy young city. Je
tome is located in the center of the
Twin Falls North Side tract, 20 miles
southeast of Shoshone. The new pub
lic school was opened September 15th
with over 80 scholars in attendance.
Jerome has a state bank, large general
stores, two blacksmith shops, a beauti
ful drug store, two restaurants, two
lodging houses, six real estate offices,
a plant for making concrete blocks
and a large lumber yard, one saloon,
one lunch counter and billiard hall
combined, two butcher shops and a
cold storage plant and an up-to-date
newspaper. Jerome has at present
about 300 population and by May, next
will have 1000.
"The Idaho" Hotel.
On October 1 ground was broken for
the new modern hotel, "The Iadho."
It will be pushed to completion as fast
as conditions permit and will in all
probability be finished by the first of
the year. The railroad grade is now
finished from Gooding to Jerome, a
distance of 26 miles, passing through
Wendell, which si just half way be
tween Gooding and Jerome. Many car
loads of ties and rails are being re
ceived at Gooding dally. It will take
over 225 cars of equipment to lay the
track from Gooding to Jerome. On
or about Thanksgiving day the citi
zens of Wendell and Jerome will be
hold a train of cars drawn by a loco
motive. The electrical equipment will
be installed during 1909.
AH Records Smashed.
The North Side company has cer
tainly made good and broken all rec
ords of canal building known. There
haB never been such rapid conquering
cf desert conditions in the history of
reclamation work. Amid dust arid
heat, under, at times, conditions that
would almost discourage the strongest
heart, the great work has been guided
by a master hand. Money has flowed
like water and yet not a dollar misop
plied. Mr. Kuhn has certainly had the
support of as loyal a staff in his
march across the desert as Grant had.
It has been a mighty victory,—180,000
acres of Idaho's best and most fertile
soil reclaimed, homes created for
thousands of people, opportunities
furnished on every hand to the wage
earners, to the capitalist, the farmer,
-—in fact, all classes have been includ
ed in the great triumphant march from
desert to garden. Towns have been
started, schools and churches built, a
railroad constructed, water works un
der construction, hundreds of miles of
canals made, an empire born, millions
of dollars of taxable property added to
Idaho's support and advancement—and
all this accomplished in 18 months—a
record of development, of achievement
never before made in the United States
of like class.
v
Both Will Grow Rapidly.
Jerome and Wendell will be large,
prosperous towns, located in the heart
of one of the richest tracts of land in
the west. These towns are being fitted
up with every modern improvement,
electric lights, sewerage, electric rail
road, electric power for manufactur
ing purposes.
Truly it is good to dwell in a land of
action, where there is work for all
who are willing and opportunity
knocks at every man's door. Idaho
may well be proud of the Twin Falls
North Side tract and its wonderful
record.—Statesman.
