Throughout. the Palouse country answer
inquiries about Camas Prairie by saving
that it is too high and frosty for cultiva-
ton. Such lies as these are told simply
to prevent land buyers and home seekers
from crossing the Clearwater river. As
a matter of fact Camas Prairie is not so
high country as the Palouse by 1000

degrees mllder.

lovely climate-far superior to the
Los Angeles brand. The high hills
which surround Lewiston deprive the
damp winter winds of their moisture by
filtering the air, and per contra, the hot
breezes of the summer are tempered by

climate, even in the depth of winter, is
more ENJOYABLE, more health restoring
and life -prolonging than In summer.

Clearwater country where ploughing is
done eleven months in the year; where
billiards. are unknown and mercury
does not freeze in the bulb, but kindly
zephyrs, laden with the warmth and
fragrance of the southwest, blow kindly,
breathing in every month of the year
Its balmy influence over prairie and
mountain and forest, like unto the
breath of spring.
