FROM P. S. KENNEDY.
He Writes Interestingly ConcerninR tlie Status of Allaire In Far Off Idaho.
Boise Citv, Idaho, July 17, 1S9G.— Idaho, as a State of the American union, is only six years old, but it is rapidly attracting notice abroad. Its resources are boundless and only await development. To the young, vigorous and enterprising, it is literally a land of promise—that is, it promises happy homes and abundance to all who diligently seek them. Much of its surface is mountainous, and many of its mountain ranges have never been explored. A party of scientific tourists left here a few days ago to plant the Stars and Stripes where not even the foot of an Indian has ever trod. So far as investigation has been made the mountains of Idaho have been found rich in all the mineral products, and especially in gold, silver, and copper. Besides her mountains of mineral wealth she has hundreds of thousands of acres of the richest river bottom land to be found in the world, all susceptible of easy irrigation. Boise (Boi-sa) City, the capital of the State, is situated on a level' plain between the Boise mountains and the Boise river. It is perhaps a mile and a half, on an average, from the foot of the mountain range to the river, and the city is laid off, up and down the river, for a distance of three miles. To the eye, the streets are all as level as a house floor, but there is a gentle slope down the river, and a large irrigating canal, which leaves the river four miles above the city, furnishes «water in abundance, which fills the side gutters, and may be run into gardens.and lawns at pleasure. Five miles up the river, in the mouth of a deep canyon, the noted Hot Springs are situated. The water boils up like a great cauldron, all the time emitting clouds of vapor. Both at the Penitentiary and the Natatorium borings have been made and this water found at the depth of 450 feet. It flows to the surface with great pressure, and a company is now piping it to various places in the city for house heating purposes. Ere long all the dwellings in the city will be heated from wells at a trifling cost. The water flows through the radiators without the aid of machinery at a temperature of 150 degrees, and rooms are easily kept at a temperature of 75 degrees in the coldest weather. Mr. Campbell, the warden of the State Prison, told me that last year he tried this hot water for irrigating the large garden on the grounds of the prison, and found that it produced the most wonderful crop. Of course it had to be allowed to stand in a pool and cool to some extent before being run into the garden. There is much in Boise City to remind one of Crawfordsville. Its large brick business blocks, its beautiful shade trees and green lawns constantly remind us of home. The soft maple, the black nlocust, black walnut and box-elder grow here with wonderful rapidity. There are many black locust trees of 10 years' growth, as much as 18 inches in diameter, tall and straight, with wide spreading tops which make the most delightful shade. The soil is rich almost to excess, and the long roots of the walnut and locust soon penetrate to the moisture and dispense with irrigation.
Col. Irwin,—by the way an old army friend of Gen. Wallace—who is located here as an engineer, told me that here in the Boise Valley are more than a hundred thousand acres of the richest land in the world, all of which can and will soon be, watered from the Boise river. Many canals are already constructed and in use. I took a ride some days ago through a farming region where irrigation is now in full operation. There were wheat fields, alfalfa and timothy meadows, and prune and apple orchards on every side. I was shown a prune orchard of forty acres, which three years ago was covered with sage brush and without fencing. An enterprising gentleman^ bought the ground for £25 per acre, broke it up, and upon the forty acres set out some four thousand prune trees. They are all growing thriftily, and I was told he could now sell his forty acres for perhaps §300 per acre. The prune business threatens to overshadow

everything else here in the Boise Valley. A few days ago we drove out to see Mr. Powell, whose wife is a sister of Mrs. Henry C. Hulett. His farm is four miles out from the city. A large canal runs by one corner of it, and from this canal he can water his whole farm by an hour's work. From a couple of small meadows which he pointed out he sold, last year, over SG00 worth of hay—alfalfa and timothy. Mr. Powell has fine young orchards of prunes, apples, peaches and cherries, and his friends and relatives in Indiana, may be assured that his prospects in his new home are anything but discouraging. Our visit to Idaho h&s been one of perpetual delight, and any couple might well delay their "bridal tour" forty-three years, as we did, for such an experience. P. S. Kennedy.
Miirried.
Last Monday Water T. Riddleberger. of Ladoga, was quietly married to Maggie Mary Biggs at the bride's home in the' east end. Rev. F. M. Fox, of Ladoga, was present and performed the ceremony.
Died at Ladoga.
John Rose, aged 25 years, died last Tuesday of typhoid fever at his home in Ladoga. The funeral occurred Wednesday afternoon.
LINUKN.
J. L. Church was in Lafayette Monday. Bert Dunkle and CoraShobe went to Lafayette on Wednesday to a shoot given by the gun club of that place. They are among the best shots.
Ask Bert Dunkle about the rain at Stockwell last Sunday. He says the fields looked like there was a foot of water on them and the corn was flat.
We expect to be at the reunion, but do not think we will take dinner from home. We expect to have a good time with the other correspondents on that day.
The fore part of the week was so wet that the farmers could do but little. Some of them hauled gravel on the roads, working out their land tax that way.
The fellows that would induce the little boys to steal chickens ought to be made to pay the damage done beside going to the reform school for awhile.
The new house built out of the shell of a house that B. J. Perkins had put up will be enclosed this week if the weather is favorable and Perkins is not having it done either.
They say some people were good and drunk at the quart shop Saturday night. There was considerable noise and loud talking before the shop was closed so that the neighbors heard it.
The heavy rains Sunday spoiled the nubbins, making big ears ou1» of them. It also spoiled the sweet potatoes, causing them to grow larger. In short the rain was good on every living thing.
James L. Bennett and Miss Fay Bennett found where the former's brother lived in Linden one day last week, expecting to find his mother. But she had gone to Crawfordsville to spend a few days with her daughter, Mrs. M. J. Breaks.
The I. O. O. F. is taking in new members of late. It is a good order and the person who lives up to its principles will teach the outside world that there is something in Odd Fellowship and they will want to become members.
If our barbers would give the people to understand that the shop would not be open on Sunday they would get just as much work to do. Working on Sunday is violating the law and the man that obeys the law will make as much zn the man that don't.
Some people talk like they think if they want to do work on Sunday it is no one's business. We have a statute law that forbids working on Sunday in oflices or stores, except postofiices. If there was not such a law people would pay no attention to Sunday. Some do not as it is.
Thieves broke into Wm. Dunkle's summer kitchen Monday night and carried off the silver spoons. The initials of Mrs. Dunkle were on them. It is supposed it was the work of tramps. They may want to sell or trade them and we would advise the people to be on the lookout.
The chaplain of McPherson Post No. 7, G. A. R., Crawfordsville, desires that some member of the Post here copy a programme of our Memorial Day exercises to be attached to his report to Department Commander R. J. Parrett. The same may be left with Geo. W. Brower, P. C., by Aug. 1, 1890, as that is the Post meeting night.
mtlUK CHUKCH.
Alva Hays has anew buggy. Will Stucky has begun his music class.
Will Jobe is getting his buggy repainted. The new church at Bowers will soon be completed.
George Cook visited Gill Rakestraw, near New Market, Sunday. On account of the rain there was no meeting at the church Sunday night.
Johnny Rettinger returned home Friday after completing his work for Hugh Moffett.
John Thompson had the misfortune of getting a buggy wheel broken in a race Sunday evening
Rufus and Edna Ronk. Willie Wingo, John Sharp, Eli Horner and wife and Hvte Peilley ana lainuy visited at John Rettinger's Sunday.
Affidavits as to personal character may be necessary to allay suspicion or to attract the simple-minded but what has the manufacturer's private character to do with the efficacy of his socalled "cure?" Ely's Cream Balm depends solely upon its reputation of years as a successful cure for catarrh in all its stages. It is absolutely free from mercury or any other drug injurious to the system. Being applied directly tc the diseased membrane it affords instantaneous relief and will effect a perfect cure of catarrh.
