IDAHO GRAIN MARKET SAGS Barley Prices Dwindle; Farmers Will Be Held to Contracts. L.EWISTON. Idaho. Aug. 11. (Spe cial.) Extreme apathy in the grain market in Northern Idaho is being felt this year, and there appears to be lit tle or no inclination upon the part of the ranchers to sell their Fall crop. The opening prices are far below those nf last. year, and the barley prices which at this time in 1911 were the highest ever known in this district have shrunk enormously. Farmers this year are going to be held closely to their contracts made with the grain buyers. It is a source of considerable speculation as to whether the farmers will be reluctant to sell this year to old line companies in view of the difficulties that arose last year regarding the exploitation of the farmers by buyers In this district.

Harriman. wealthy widow of the late railroad king, who amassed the Harriman fortune and built up the Harriman railroad system, is at her Idaho Summer home in Fremont Count v. If Mrs. Harriman is seeking simpli city at Island Park she found it close to the boundaries of the Yellowstone National Park. There. with her familv. she finds rest and quiet. It is said that the outing is doing Mrs. Harriman more good than could the greatest specialists of the age. The bracing mountain air, the odor of the nines, the exercise and, more beneficial of all, the quiet rest are accomplishing trreat things for both Mrs. Harriman and her children. "I am Mrs. Harriman and I have heard of vou and your neat little railroad nest up here in the moun tains." said Mrs. Harriman cordially as she stenned from her special car at Island Park station , to the wife of the agent. A survey of her beautiful surround ings only increased her entnusiasm. The railroad ranch is not. as many believe, but a toy for the rich. Indeed. it Is just the contrary. While enjoyed hv neoole of wealth, the ranch is so operated as to be a dividend payer.

It embraces 6000 acres. Many acres are under ac tual cultivation. Some idea of the ex tent can be gained from the fact that 00 tons of hay were cut this year. This hay is fed to steers, bought on the ranges, fattened at the ranch and shipped to the market. Several large, up-to-date stock barns occupy various locations on me rancn. They are filled, usually to overflowing. There Is a special paddock for driving horses, another contains the work horses, and others are for horses that are to go to market. Although isolated from the regular highway of travel the railroad ranch Is still in direct telegraphic and telephone touch with civilization. There is a complete power plant and an ice plant. An artificial lake-furnishes water for irrigating purposes, for ice in Winter, and in the Summer is ideal for boating. bathing and water sports.
