His Latest Letter Explains Beauties Of Idaho
to the Hawkeyes


Waterloo [Iowal Courier:
I have said that the average of
those who live in Idaho one or two
seasons, is to remain, or if leaving,
under ordinary conditions, the rule
is they return. l have explained
why in some respects this is natural.
Various reasons could be. given, chief
among which is the attractiveness of
general climatic conditions. When
/ landed at Weiser the End of last
April, winter had given way to the
general promise of spring The
weather was just an invigorating, de-
lightful medium temperature, between
the two seasons. You were comfort
able either with or without an over
coat. This condition modified al
most imperceptibly until you forgot
your overcoat altogether.
Then coat was comfortable,
or not just as you left it, on
or off and 80 the days went and the
warmth Of summer came on and you
were in the middle of July without
having been able for the lite of you
tell when winter ended and spring
merged into summer, so even and
imperceptible was the change. Down
in the lower valleys the month of
July was about the temperature of
July in Iowa. So was the last half
of June and the first of August
except that many of the nights were
delightful cool. Some of the nights
we're warm until after midnight, but
thers was always rift of cool, re-
freshlng atmosphere from midnight
until NOR ling And no matter how
hot the di.y, or how warm the early
part of fight, you were rested on
awakening in the morning. You
5egan the day with a feeling of vigor
and freshness unknown to the hot
! summer months of Iowa or the east.
Then in August the days gradually
grew cooler and merged on into
September and October, when at
mospheric conditions become 80 per.
feet that you forgot all about climate
tho heat of summer, cold of winter,
or anything else, ave that every
thing was about as you would make
1t yourself if you could accurately
guage the standard of absolute per
fection. In November when l left
for this visit to Iowa, the days hac
grown shorter and cooler. You coulG
see the first mantles of snow on the
distant mountain peaks. Around
you the leaves were falling, and the
fields were less clothed in green, bu'
