The marriage of Miss Alberta McFall and Mr. J. W. Lundin was performed by Rev. Wilard H. Roots last Tuesday morning at the McFall hotel parlors in Shoshone. The couple will honeymoon on a northern trip along the Wood River branch. Miss McFall has long been a social leader in Shoshone, while the groom serves with the J. G. White Engineering Co on the Idaho irrigation project and has been based in Shoshone for one to two years.
One of the fine ranches on the North Shoshone tract is the joint claim belonging to H. P. Garter and L. P. Gieseke located about four miles north of Tampi. The Carter place comprises 160 acres with 40 cultivated and 40 fenced for pasture. The Gieseke place adjoins, with 40 acres cultivated and fenced. Water is supplied by a drilled well nearly 20 feet deep with a windmill and pump. An irrigation lateral on the higher Carter ground waters the entire ranch by gravity. Horses and farm machinery fill the fields as land work advances, with claims settled last October and progress steady. Carter, a Maine native, came to Idaho for irrigation work and settled on the land after leaving construction. Gieseke, from Chicago, has family support at home while he works outdoors. The well cost $1,000 but paid off with months of service and future years.
The rocky site will host a fine orchard that will be planted later. Other work crowded the initial season, forcing tree omissions. The fall and spring will provide ample time to complete planting.
