A ROMANCE OF THE DESERT Story of a Hosier Youth Who Braved Fearful Odd, (By Ira E. Bennett) Twin Kalis, Idaho, Sept. 28. J j ET those who believe that the I ( sage bruh deert is void of ro I J mance and tho castellated gor "''gea of the Snake B'tver mere monuments of death learn the etory of Perrine, the Hoosier of Blue Lakes. Let them . contemplate the struggle of one nian with nature and gather froip his conquest the lesson of the winning of the West. Ira B. Perrine is now in his early for ties. He is alight, wiry, blue-eyed, re f iwnf. ami modest, but alwars oolite to the stranger. . He is famed from Ogden to Portland tor ins optimism, .mi ues perandum" is his rule of life, and no thing delights bim more than a wrestle with brute nature. ' He was born in Le Iwwon, Ind., and came west before he a-su eighteen. He drifted into Idaho, and one of his. first job was that of chamber maid in a livery stable in a new mining camp. He cleaned up a round the stable one day and set fire to the refuse. While he was at lunch the flue was communicated to the stable, and from the stable to the town. In an hour the town was off the map, and Per rine was in the grip of a vigilance com mittee, which made prompt arrange ments to hang him. A friend appeared who told now tidy the lad had been a brnit the stable, and how even older men might have made such a slielit mistake as to set fire to a town. The miners wei charmed with the lawyers elo quence and untied the rope that bound Terrine. His rescuer is now a millionaire living in Salt Lake City. - Perrine tried prospecting, and failed. Tta ivpnf fliTftiimt. railroading, and for tune did not emile. He floated around at various jobs, but made no headway. Finnaly, i company with an old pros pector who had made money in the Boie placers before they petered out, ho struck out across the desert for the Snake River Canyon; below Shoshone Falls. They arrived at the lip of the can yon and beheld below them, smiling under the sky, two blue lakes in a pocket of the gorge that rose 500 feet upward to where thev stood. Did Not Find Trail. Perrine and his partner prospected along the edge of the precipice for a trail. They did not find any. Below them ran " the Snake River, with a fringe pf green along it banks, and the old prospector thought he saw a fortune in its s,ands, Perrine was captivated by the blue lakes, and decided on the in stant to locate them. for his home. The" cliffs lined thhe canyon of the Snake for miles. Above them waa Sho shone Falls, roaring like Niagara, Be low them stretched an endless desert. There was nothln to do but to lower themselves and their plunder over the cliff. They rigged up a tackle, and Perrine dropped, as if out of the heav ens, into the gorge. . The old miner sent dowrt pine boards for a sluice box, grub, and their extra elthing. They turned their burros loose. The old argonaut slid down the rope. ' Another descent waa made ,in the same manner, to a spot where the drift rock' had made a sliding bank. Thus they reached the banks of the river The old miner went clown the river, with his boards which cost him $5 each, and disappeared. Perrine, , caching his extra ginib and clothing, wrote out location notices and stuck them upon the rocks. He claimed everything In ..eight. '...Then began his twenty year's struggle. ,. . ." The warmth of the vallew adjoining the liver, protectd as it was by the gi ant walls of the canyon, the abundance v 11.. ,f.,r. l tlio filmrncter of the soil, convinced Perrine that he would,) IU1 Every Hat a Masterpiece of Milliners Arte The collection of beautiful hats I have ready to show you is a triumph in style and elegance and un surpassed in value giving.

What uui . it mailer to nun mat mere was nnluwlv within rpftph ij ttnv Ilia fruit f What did be care for the 'little obsta cle of cliffs T He swam the river and explored the face of the canyon wall. Making his way upward upon drift rock, he gained a place 300 feet above the river. There a two-foot fridge jutted out, skirting the face of the cliff for a mile. He walked along, literally among the eagles, witn aeatn oeiow ami unlitudfl all nmunrl. i he tedsre ended at a little break which was part ly nuea wiin unit, up 1013 iiecinnueu and found himself upon the plateau. Before him stretched the desert, cov ered with sage bmsH. Walking a hun- area ieet away irom me rim or me MLnvnn he turned back, and it wns as completely obscured as if it had never been. His gaze leaped across it to tne desert upon the other side, and but for the distant thunder of Shoshone Falls far upstream, he might have imagined that ne had merely dreamed of prec ipices and foaming water. Driver Thought Him 'Crazy. Perrine was headed for Boise City, with the object of recording his land entry and buying seed. Boise City was away to the northward, a week's jour ney on foot, ne did not have money enough to buy a seat on the stage. Gaining the stagc-road, he begged the driver to take him to Boise, promising to pay his fare when his ship came in. The driver refused. Perrine stood there, a stripling, almost in tears, and made another plea. He told of his ambition to start an orchard in the canyon. "Well, get in," said the driver. "Any kid with as crazy a notion as that is daifcerous to society. You can't be at large. Hop in, and I'll give you a lift to the insane asylum." "Thanks," replied Perrine. This is the only time I"l ask for a lift. Til buv'this stage one of these days, and ride in it whenever I please." A few yeara later Perrine hunted up this stage coach, purchased it, and in stalled it on his ranch, where it is now. It would be a long story to tell of Per rine's failure in many directions. But he never failed in faith. He saw in his mind's eye, a fortune, a little Garden of Eden, set between sheltering walls of lava, watered with ice-cold' springs and a roaring river. He planted peach and apple trees, dug ditches, built a reser voir, opened a canal from a spring which drained the Blue lakes above his farm, and did everything that Adam must have done. He was as much alone as Adam, and mqre, for no Eve was there. . Within a vear or two the fruit ri pened. It was then that Perrine blazed a trail along the cliffs, up which he led a single house packed with fruit in bas kets. Once, up among we eagles, his horse lurched against the cliff, struck the basket against the rocks, and found itself clutching the trail with its front feet, its hindquarters dangling above destruction.- Perrine struggled to recov: er the animal, but it fell with a ecream, and was dashed to pieces on the rocks. Shut in From World. Perrine carried his fruit out in. this way for several years, finding a market for" it in villages across thirty miles of sagebrush desert. As his orchard grew larger he began to employ help, until, in picking time, 'he had sixty hands to work. ; At odd times he turned the bovs to roadwork, and with infi nite labor, a wagon road was blasted along the edge of the cliffs up to the rim of the canvon. It is a splendid piece of of road, and will last forever. On the western rim, he constructed a similar road. At the upper end of each road, he piaced a gate. With these gates he was BY shut in from intrusion from the world, for the great falls guarded one entrance and a roaring torrent in the lower gorge guarded the other. With the roads cked, the only way to each the Per rine ranch was ia the primeval fashion adopted by its discoverer a drop over me ci ins, at me risk ot me. In time the little Hoosier hermit took a wife anj Idaho girl, 'whb thought nothing of the solitude of the great canyon and the roar of the torrent Two children were bora to them, a boy and a girl. The boy died a few years ago. The girl, thirteen yeara old, is the charm of the home. She has adop ted a big trout, who lords it over his tribesmen in the ice cold pool formed by the spring near the house. This big trout comes up for food and permits his little mistress" to rub his sides and tickle his fins. He is a little, shy with strangers, but when a morsel of food drops in the water his hunger overcomes his bashfulness and the celerity with which he darts in ahead of the ducks and gobbles the food is a wonder to behold. . . Nature is Indulgent. Xature is especially indulgent with Blue Lakes ranch. The sun smiles down perpetually, the soil is the accu mulation of ages of erosion, Uhe keen winds of winter are warded "off by tue cliff In consequence, fruits of all, kinds ripen to perfection there, and gather a sweetness that has made them famous. Perrine sent ' am exhibit to Paris and was awarded the gold medal. He exhibited at the Buffalo Exposition and captured another gold medal. He was heard from at the Trans-Mississippi Exposition art Omaha, and another medal was added to his collection. Fi nally in St. Louis, in 1904, he won the gold medal against the world, for fine fruits. He shows these medals with mod eat nride to the few strangers who stum ble upon his ranch, and then fills their blackboard with samples f the peaches that have become known throughout the world. For nearly twenty years Perrine's nearest neighbors were thirty-five miles distant, across sagebrush waterless plain. Now the breakers of immigration are dashing within sound of Shoshone Falls. Twin Falls, Idaho, a two-year old city, with a 3,500 population, with a railroad and a big stone hotel, two newspapers, and so on, lies ,6n the plain five miles fom Perrine's place. The sagebrush about the the town has been displaced by green- alfalfa fields and orchards. Houses dot the desert in all directions, and irrigation ditchea, full of water, traverse the plain. The raw land, with a water right, sella for $25.50. ' It is I barely cleared and planted to alfalfa P f 1 . 1 f .'
