■
Interesting Figures and Data Furnish
ed by Mr. Holden Upon His Return
to Iowa, Which Startled the Natives.
Idaho has been attracting a good
, deal of attention from Iowans. And a
large number of them have gone to
that state since 1904 to take advantage
of the now famous Carey Act.
Among those who have been influ
enced by the almost incredulous stor
ies that have come to their ears were
a number of Des Moines and Iowa bus
iness men, who, having no better place
to spend heir vacations, decided to
take a trip, enjoy thè climate %nd in
cidentally find out for themselves
whether the stories they had heard
had been based on fact or not.
Some of them took their flBhing rods
along, thinking to take advantage of
the most excellent fishing that the
streams of Idaho afford. The party
was composed of George Hailett, the
architect; Professor Faville, editor of
Successful Farming; Dr. W. N. Har
tupee, G. S. Gilbertson, all of Des
Moines; Elmer A. Runkle, sash and
door manufacturer of Cedar Rapids;
W. H. McKane, of Altoona, Professor
Holden, of Ames agricultural college,
and others.
The party visited all the points in
southern Idaho that have been recent
ly made productive by irrigation, and
to say that they are enthusiastic over
the country is putting it mildly.
Professor Holden's estimate of this.
new country will be of vital interest
to Iowans because of the unquestion
able authority of the source. In an
interview upon the subject Professor
Holden said: "You may say for me
that southern Idaho is the ideal place
for the young man who is looking to
make a start in life. Every acre of
irrigable land in this section is worth,
in yield or income, three times as
much aB the best land in Illinois and
Iowa. I am for Iowa, but if a man is
to move, southern Idaho is the place
to go, and for the young man, full of
wonderful opportunities.
"Why, I talked with men out there
who went there three years ago with
little or nothing and are now worth
010,000 to 03O.OGO. One man in parti
cular, an old school teacher, went
there three years ago. He had been
teaching for twenty-eight years and
was $3,000 In debt. He is now worth
$30,000—It's marvelous! I don't en
thuse easily (I can't afford to. In my
experience it has been necessary to
school myself against it,) but when I
see such marvelous productiveness as
is seen on every hand in these irrigat
ed districts I cannot help it.
"Land out there that sold three
years ago for $25.50 an acre is now
held at from $100 to $500 an acre, and
when It changes hands it changes on
this basis.

that haa com« to the city. Today Christ
Is acknowledged In some measure by
nearly every person, and the way in
which they respond to the spirit of Efts
gospel has the greatest effect for bet
ter or for worse on their lives.
It is. therefore, necessary for the
good of every large community, that
the gospel of Christ be brought to Its
attention frequently, that men may
have the opportunity to consider the
shaping of their lives by an eternal
standard.
The religious people of whom Mr.
Amos K. Clarke is a general evenge
list, try to preach the gospel of Christ
in its simplicity undermined by man
made opinions and dogmaB. In these
meetings the first and final appeal will
be to the Bible, as we recognize that
our opinions in matters where God
has spoken are utterly valueless and
not out of place.
For this reason we believe we can
consistently make an appeal, as we
have in the years past for the unity of
all of God's people upon the founda
tion given the world in the new testl
ment. As one of our evangelists de
clares: "We are willing to unite with
anyone, anywhere, upon the Bible."
An invitation is given to everyone to
participate in the services lead by
Bro. Clarke. Come and enjoy the
singing of the soloists and the large
chorus.
These services will be held in the
Stothard warehouse, near the ball
park. The building will be well heat
ed and seated to comfortably accom.
modate six or eight hundred people.

While the train bearing the Nat
Reiss Carnival company was enroute
from Mountain Home to this city last
Sunday, some of the tentmen were en
gaged in a game of poker to pass the
time away. A big buck negro and a
white man, after playing some time,
quit the game with the coon holding
the money. Evidently fearing trouble
the negro entered the Pullman, where
all the women of the show were quar
tered, and took a seat. In a short time
the tent man entered and accused the
negro of cheating at cards and wln
ning by foul means. The tent man then
left the coach while the accused still
regained, through fear. Re-enforced
by some more tent men the white man
again entered the car and started a

FORWARD PASS WORKED BY VIS
ITORS FOR BIG GAINS.
Twin Falls Girls Prove Supreme r .j
Basket Bail Game W'lnning by ' .core
of 84 to 4.
The first game of football on the lo
cal grounds this season was played at
the ball park last Saturday and was
witnessed by a large and enthusiastic
crowd. Pocatello high school witfh &
number of old players on Its team, put
up a strong game, and with the excep
tion of one of two times during the
game, had little difficulty in making
long gains. The forward pass, wlifch
is purely experimental this yär,
proved to be an easy way out of a
tight place several times during the
game for the visitors, while the local
boys seemed to be poorly drilled la
that feature.
is
From the very start until the ball
was carried over within ten minutes,
from the beginning of the first half,.
Pocatello, by end runs, was able to
rush the ball down the field despite
the efforts of the boys to break up thd
lnterferance. However, on the line,
plays, Twin Falls was able to hold the
visitors down and force them to re
sort to the forward pass in order to
make their gain. Twin Falls made the
first kick-off and Oldham booted the
oval far down the field toward the Po
catello goal. It was brought back to
the center by good lnterferance, and
pushed over for the first touch down,
from that time until Gee last half, it
was never in the visitors' territory.
Score, Pocatello 5.
Pocatello kicked off and Twin Falls
brought the ball back twenty yards
and began to buck the line for gains,
only to lose ground on a slow forma
tion end run, in which the ball was
downed back of the line. Forced to
punt, Oldham sent the ball into the
enemy's territory, from which it was
again brought back by end runs and
the forward pass until the visitors got
their second touch-down five minutes
before the time was called and kicked,
tbeir first goal. Score 11 to 0.
For the rest of this half Twin Falls
by hard work on the part of Benoit,
Chapin, Shields and Oldham,-managed!
to prevent further score, while unable
to advance the ball themselves.
Chapin at full-back was injured dur
ing the first half, but still stayed with
the game.
The boys when the whistle blew for
the second half, went in$> the game-
with vigor and their playing was much
improved, with the exception of their
tackling, which was still too high and',
too easily avoided.
The second half was
rked by
faster playing on both sidef, and Po-
catello was able to cross thr goal lin»
four times and kick goal each time,
making the score 35 to 0. Pocatello
made use of the forward ns
large extent, and was able %
to regain the ball on the
only place where Twin Falls
to do efliective work was on stopping:
line plunges and here only did Twin
Falls show itself at all strong.
In the basket ball game toe Twin
Falls girls simply out-classed the vis
itors and won at will by a score of $4
to 4. Misses Ida Cryder, Bertha Me
Dougal and Norah Dumkee were sim
ply irresistible, and made their bas
kets nearly every time. The remain
der of toe team, Mabel Micklewalte,
Hazel Shield and Liutie Webb, did
splendid work, also, and gave good ac
count of themselves.
