The Republican was mistaken in Its item of several days ago stating ♦h«t. L. W. Faris, of Caldwell, Idaho, had suffered an injury. It seems that the accident was to John T. Farts, and the two ladies who left for Caldwell to see him were his daughters, j4rs. Mollie Logan and Mrs. Cora Kauffman, of Gillam towndhip. The Medary vjlle Advertiser says that Mr. Faris left for Idaho last .spring to be ne ar some of their children. Mr. Faris had the misfortune to break one of his legs, since which time he bag been bedfast and the bones have f a ile<l to knit. His condition is said to be almost hopeless.

Land Show a Convention of Busy Real Estate Dealers.

The land show in Chicago closed Sunday. It was an interesting and Instructive exhibit, and well worth seeing. -Of course, it was a convention of real estate dealers and commercial clubs, and each state or section represented employed every opportunity to make his country look the very best. Western and southern country was the best represented, and of these the fruit growing sections were particularly boomed. Montana, including the Bitter Root valley; Washington and its various fiver valley fruit sections; Oregon, and the Medford district; Idaho, with especial attention to Twin Cities; California. Colorado, Texas, Louisiana, Florida, Michigan, and other states, were all represented. Each section had a register, and visitors were requested to sign at each headquarters, so that literature could be sent out in the future. There were circulars, booklets, maps, testimonials, and literature of almost every variety for free distribution, and so insistent were the agents in having you get these, that one’s pockets were running over before half the places ■had been visited. The booklets were nicely prepared and w4ll printed. They were profusely illustrated and the authors had prepared their arguments in the most enticing language, calculated to persuade an investigation of their country with the possibility of investment. Thqre seemed little choice between the Bitterroot, of Montana, the Oregon and Washington apple sections, and these were all displayed in magnificent style. Thousands of perfect apples of various kinds, artistically displayed, cast out an aroma sb sweet that a visitor could get his money’s worth through his nose if all his other senses had failed him. The best' small grain display seemed that of the San Luis valley, from which came wheat, oats, alfalfa and other products of unparalleled excellence. The southern display was also good, and apparently Louisiana, Florida and Texas have some good opportunities for industrious people. The agents considered every person that attended the show a possible purchaser and there is no doubt but many of the thousands that attended the show are cohtemplating removal to other points and were there to hear presented the claims of the various countries. Irrigated sections were well represented, and a demonstration of the ditches and the way the water is conducted to them was given, Saturday was Louisiana day and a band followed by a number of boosters carrying banners, paraded through the colliseum and ended up at a lecture hall, whqre ari , interesting speaker told of the. bounteous opportunities of the south and presented the New Orleans claim for the Panama ex*position in 1915. The boosters were a lively set and half the people in the big building wore New Orleans buttons or ribbons.

Displayed on the upper balcony were government photographs and technical investigations about apple disease and insects; road making experiments, an engraver’s press for money making, miniature battleships, etc. The apple show was held in the first regiment armory and was made an adjunct to the ( land show, one price including admission to both. The apple show was a fine one 4 but after one had been to the land show he had viewed about all there was to be seen. The Spokane display, in which R. A Hopkins was interested, was a fine one. In Mr. Hopkins’ section the display eclipsed for real art anything in either the land or apple show. The ceiling of the exhibit was frescoed with decorations of apple seeds, dried fruits, etc. Fruit baskets were made of seeds and twigs, and glass cases contained small branches of mammoth apples just as they had grown. There was also a fine exhibit of canned fruits in glass jars, and of apple jellies.
