Steps Being Taken Tor Its Location
West of Town.
A meeting was held Tuesday evening
under the auspices of the Business Mens
Asaoeiatlon, at which time the railroad
situation was quite generally discussed.
It i* quite generally understood that the
railroad company prefer the site on west
main street, and to this end a committee
consisting of It. !.. pence, W. A. Peters,
W. A. Ileiss, FM. Gill and F. K. Eichel
larger wore appointed to solicit the
parlies owning land in that section.
!•. K. Evans, who owns most of the
land on which it is desired to locate the
depot, in a letter makes a liberal oiler of
4 acres of land for this purpose, with
offer t<
$160,110 yer acre,
nates 1 pai res, which leaves a balance

•II what balance is needed al

of about 4 aeres to lie provided. This
will necessitate the raising of about $600,
and it is the desire of the committee to
realize this amount from the landowners
in that vicinity, and it is not thought
that this will require much labor, as
several have made proffers of financial
aid, realizing that profierly values would
lie enhanced by reason of such location.
Messrs. Evans and Storz have certainly
shown a very liberal spirit, which is
highly appreciated, ft is desired to have
this matter cleaned up within a few days
that it may be presented to Chief Engi
neer Stradley, who is now at Twin Falls,
for approval.
As soon as matters are
adjusted tlie company will lose no time
in commencing work.
Should tlie location west of town be
assured, tlie business men and citizen*
will at once take step* to put the road
leading thereto in first-class condition,
and build sidewalks forllie
of passengers going and coming.
The company have definitely located a

station at Oop|stale. The surfacing gang
are close on the heels of tlie track laying
crew, and it will not lie many days lie
fore tlie last spike is driven. There will
lie no delay in inaugurating train service
as wsin as tlie connection is made east of
town.

Relieved by Death.
The sufferings endured by Miss
Catherine Arps for tlie past few months
were relieved by the death of thisestiinu
Iilc young lady at the home of her parent*
here, at 6ulO on Friday morning last.
Tlie Sunday previous she had Is-eti re
moved from tlie hospital at Twin Falls
to tlie home of lier parents, all hope for
iter having been abandoned by the phy
sicians.
Catherine Johanna Arps was horn at
Amsterdam, Holland, in February, 1HP2.
Coming to America with lier parent*, she
became a resident of Jerome in Septem
ber, I «I St, where sbe ha* since reside«!.
She was an accomplished musician, and
was tlie organist and a mendier of the
choir of tlie Presbyterian church, until
sickness prevented lier attendance. She
was also a teacher in tlie Sunday School,
and was loved and respected iiy ail who
knew lier. The funeral was held here
Saturday afternoon, Kev. Kotfend offici
ating. Her Sunday School class of girls
attended in a body, and (lie remains
were followed lo Iheir last resting place
by many sorrowing friends. The de
ceased was a member of the bwal lodge
of the Women of Woodcraft.
Mr. Geo. W. Fuller of New York City
has been a Jerome visitor the past week.
Mr. Fuller is president of the DeVoe
Orchards ami Stock Farms Co., who
have 860 a« rcs five mites north of town,
800 acres of which are in cultivation.
Mr. Fuller lias made several visit* to tlie
tract, but tlie present one lias given him
more satisfaction than all tlie others
combined, as he can now witness results
that have been so eagerly looked forward
to by all. Another year will see

Now is an Opportune Time for a
Publicity Campaign.
With the advent of the main line of
lie Oregon Short Une reaching Jerome,
it would seem incumbent upon onr bus
iness men and citizens generally to take
some action that would tend toward a
publicity campaign, by which the re
sources of Jerome and the surrounding
country could liecome generally known
throughout the more thickly populated
communities east of ns.
Ottr neighboring towns along the new
line are awakening to a realization of the
fact that tile general home seeker as well
as tlie capitalist are seeking homes and
investments in localities which present
the most favorable inducements, and are
taking steps to projierly bring these mat
aers before this class of people.
Endeavoring to build up a new country
without advertising, is like a merchant
trying to do business without telling the
general public what lie has to offer them.
Hardly a town in Southern Idaho but
w hat is heralding its inducements to the
world in one form or another. People
are going where they are invited, and
even though we have superior advan
tages to offer over many sections, it will
not do to sit idly down and say to our
selves, "the people will come here, any
way."
The conditions existing in the drought
stricken districts of the east are such as
to warrant the prediction that there will
lx- a large exodus of home seekers from
those sections the coming fall and the
following spring, and the natural tend
ency of those people will lie toward the
irrigated sections, where, with plenty of
water, crops are assured each year.
The Gooding papers of last week lead
a lecture to the real ««late men of that
town for their apparent apathy to sur
rounding conditions, urging mon* active
work on their part. We have no such
complaint against our real estate dealers,
and though they are making no great
noise about it, the advantages of Jerome
are not lost sight of for a moment.
But the real estate men should not lie
ex fieeted to do it all, and some concerted
action should lx* taken by all our citizens
with the end in view that all the world
may tie informed of w hat we have to otter
them. The C'ommercial*Club has done
effective work in the past, but they
should not Is* expected to carry all the
burdens, and they should have the hearty
support of our business men generally
lei all gel together and push for a great
er Jerome. Such a movement wouli
reivive not only the hearty sunixirt of
our citizens generaly, hut would lie wel
comed by the publicity departments of
the railroads and others who an' inter
ested in building up Southern Idaho,
who would render much assistance to
the movement.
