SNAKE RIVER VALLEY.
-The largest irrigation enter
prise in America is located in the
rich Snake River valley of Idaho,
which has been reclaimed j
through man’s handi-work'alone. i
In this valley which is now com
fortably settled, there remains
270,000 acres of land belonging
to the state of Idaho, which is
under the Twin Falls irrigation
, canals and open to settlement.
This land is among the richest in
America, as experiments have
proved. Potatoes here yield 200
to 400 bushels to the acre of
large size and fine variety. Wheat
yields from 40 to 70 bushels to
the acre with an average weight
of 63 pounds per bushel. Three
crops oi anaua are raised eacn
season in the Snake River valley.
The climate is superb and of
great value as a tonic for mind
and body. Home-seekers’ low
rates to the Snake River valley
are in effect via Union Pacific,
the only direct route. Why not
visit this district in person and
fully realize its great possibili
iii^s? For full information ad

INDEPENDENT'S
BABY CONTEST.
Here is the proposition and the
rules governing the contest:
There is a handsome $25.00
solid gold locket with diamond
setting and solid gold chain, on
display at the Palace Jewelry
store, to be given away Decem
ber 24th, 1904, to the baby boy
or girl under two years of age,
who wins the highest number of
votes as the prettiest and sweet
est baby. Now the baby that is
not pretty is surely sweet, and
if the wee tot be a little cross at
times, beauty must offset this
badness. Fond parents at least
are expected to think their ba
bies are both sweet and beauti
ful, and so they do. But to set
tle once for all the claims of the
under two, and put at rest this
rivalry of mothers and fathers,
the Independent has inaugurated
a contest that is to be determined
by that cherished right, popular
ballot, and in accordance with
the following rules:
BABY PRIZE CONTEST RULES.
First—No baby that has reach
ed the age of two years Nov. 1,
1904, is eligible to this contest,
nor shall any employe or party
connected with "his paper be eli
gible to vote.
Second—Every issue of the
Daily and Weekly Independent
from November 1 to December
24, will contain a ballot entitling
the holder to one vote in this
contest. For every dollar’s worth
of job, work, advertising and
subscription paid for between
these dates a coupon good for ten
votes will be issued, but no cou
pons will be issued for sums less
than $1.00. Coupons will not be
sold, and will only be issued for
job, ad and subscrpition busi
ness, but extra copies of the In
dependent at 2 cents per copy,
each containing one ballot, will
be sold at this office.
Third—All votes must be sent
to this office and will be de
posited in a lock box, to be opened
it 8 o’clock each publication day
ind counted. The daily issue of
;hat afternoon will contain the
;otal of the several candidates
md the public will thus be kept
nformed of the voting each day.
Fourth—A committee of three
rood business men will be select
id to canvass the ballots the
norning of Dec. 24 and announce
he winner. All ballots must be
leposited at this office by 11 a.
a., Dec. 24, 1904.
Read the rules carefully.
NOTICE TO
FOREIGN SUBSCRIBERS.
After December 1, 1904, the
ndependent will be sent outside
f Jackson county only on sub
sriptions paid in advance, and
'■ill be stopped upon the expira
on of the time for which they
re paid.
Subscribers will be notified two
■eeks prior to the expiration of
leir subscription, and prompt
snewals will cause no skips in
sceiving the'paper.
Our outside mailing list has
cached those proportions which
lake this step necessary to pro
set ourselves, and we feel that
he change will not be objection
ble, but rather in accordance
rith the wishes of our outside
eaders,
The Independent has only one
ubscription ‘price, $1.00 a year
or the Weekly, and 40 cents per
nonth for the Daily, out the
>ostal charge for papers to out
lide addresses, warrants us in
■equiring these subscriptions to
ie paid in advance.
This does not apply to any
jostoffice in Jackson county, or
mch towns as Bradford, Alicia,
Minturn, Newark, in closely con
;iguous territory.
