The opportunity of owning such land on such terms comes but once in a
lifetime. It is here now; are you willing and ready to grasp it ?
If HP' 1

Fruit land, with all its great advantages, can be bought in tracts of ten or more acres at from ninety
to three hundred dollars per acre, including a perpetual water supply for irrigation, on terms of one
fifth down and one-fifth a year for five years, or one-fourth down and the balance at any time up to
five years provided the buyer improves the land purchased, it being the intention of the campany to
take one-fourth cash and let the buyer pay for his land from the crops raised on it. In other words,
we will sell you, say $1,000 worth of land for which you pay us $250 cash and share your profits
with us until you have paid us the remaining $750. Could anything be fairer, or do more to show
our confidence in this land ?
Ten acres is is enough, for under irrigation the yield per acre is more than ten times as great as
from land farmed in the Mississippi valley, and a man with ten acres in fruit is independent for life.
Mr J.W. Fox will leave your city Friday
April 10, at 4:30. Call at Hotel St. Geo
rge and make arrangements to go and see
this beautiful tract of land, even if you jdo
not want to buy, the trip is worth the
time and price.

ad "limiting and restricting the right

Mrt land law and authorizing ex

As Its tltl suggests, this act is
aimed at the prevention of fraud and
speculation in desert land entries
It provides In the first place that

act the right to make entry of desert

vides that, "any person who prior to
the passage of this act has made en
try under the desert land laws, but

land law as though such former en
try had not been made, and any per

entry under this act shall furnish the
description and dnte of the former
entry, provided that the provisions of
this act shall not apply to any per
son whose former entry was assigned
In whole or In part or cancelled for
fraud or who relinquished the former
entry for a valuuble consideration."
These second desert entries are to
be made In the same manner as pro
vided for the making of second home

SPOTTED FEVER AT BOISE.
Fatal llalad) Punlea the Physicians
of Idaho.
"Spotted fever" has broken out in
a number of families in this city, due
to the bite of the sage tick, common
ly known as tho wood tick. The bug,
after obtaining a hold on the body of
Its victim, procedl to bury Itself in
the flesh, and is soon hidden from
view, says the Holse Capital News. In
this manner be forces the poisonous
effects of his bite Into the blood of
the person atacked -and creates a sort
of malady in the form of a fever
which results in forming spots or
blotches on the body. Local psysl
dans report that mfhierous cases
have developed fn the past week.
The ticks generally abound In large
numbers at this time of the year, and
the peculiar "spotted fever" that they
cause Is only known to the Inland
empire country, especially In the state
of Montana. Often the fever proves
fatal but local physicians state that
if care Is taken this seldom happens.
Dr. W. S. Allen was called to at
tend a case of this klntl In a family
on North Seventh street. A baby was
nffectcd with the disease and the
mother did not know what the cause
of It was. A lump had appeared on
the side of the baby and it was fear
ed that the child was suffering from
a rupture.
An examination by the physician
showed that the lump was caused
from a tick which had fastened Itself
on the side of the child and succeed
ed In eating Its way Into the flesh,
where It proceeded to suck blood and
thus fatten Itself, causing the protrud
ing of the skin as well as to poison
(he child.
The lump was lanced aed the tick
removed, it is understood that
there are numerous other cases, prin
cipally among ttie children, In the
same neighborhood.
