Growing Crangeville.

The last shipment of hogs out of
Camas Prairie aggregated $27, 900
in value, all Of which was dis
bursed through the agency Of the
banks Of Grangeville. The fact
that hogs are now selling at 81
cents per pound on the hoof, and
cattle at AZ is sufficient evidence
that live stock is now one of the
lucrative trades in which man
can engage, and, fortunately for
us all, they are SO widely .distrib-
uted that no trust can control
them, else the price Of meat would
jump so high that only millionaires
and the beneficiaries of trust
syndicates could eat it. With the
prevailing prices it is needless to
state that farmers on Camas
Prairie are in u fairly prosperous
condition, and as there is every
reason to hope that these good
prices will hold up as long as the
placer mines of Alaska continue to
produce their-present noble output
OF gold dust, it ID equally apparent
that good times will continue for a
long time to come in this section
seeing that Alaska is our best
market. The prosperity OF the
people of Idaho county at large il
also apparent in the deposits made
at the banks, which are steadily
increasing month by month, show.
ing that farmers and business men
are profting by the upward tend.
ency in price of our staple products.
The one thing now lacking to fill
our cup Of happiness full to over
flowing is the long talked Of and
long hoped for railroad, in order
to increase opr facilities of ship
ping our products, and affordine
easy access to the army of new
corners who are seeking homes In
this, the best part of the colder
aest, and who are deferred from
coming to Camas Prairie, becaus.
of the absence of rapid transporta
ton facilities. But even in thi.
particular there is REALLY hope
that the near future will see one
and perhaps two, lines of railroads
building TO Camas Prairie ant
growing Grangeville.

Northern Pacific surveyors are
running lines from Grantsdale, the
present terminus OF the Bitter
Root railroad, towards Salmon
City. The distance is only u
miles and easy grades can be found
by way of the Nez Perez fork OF
the Bitter Root river. Northern

territory in that direction will only
hasten the construction of Union
Pacific lines in the long disputed
Clearwater country. Our turn has
been too long delayed but it is

A Visitors View Of Camas
Prairie.

III. ). BInme, publisher Of the
"Elgin Watch Il German paper
issued at Elgin, Illinois, is making
tour Of this countr, and in his
issue Of May 2l4I prints the fol-
lowing description OF Camas
Prairie:
"Without doubt land can be
obtain, Il in the state northcas, Of
Illinois for nominal price. But
he who wants to buy land thai,
will double and treble in rrice in
2 to 8 years, must come to the
Camas Prairie, Idaho county,
Idaho. Good hOmestcads are hard
to find in this neighborhood, but
school lands can be had for from
$40 to $50 per acre and this land is
the best that can be found any
where.
Travelling through the Rocky
mountains, the landscape does not
look very favorable. If one
travels south from Spokane, things
look more promising and one sees
good farms everywhere. Then
the trip goes up along the mighty
Clearwater river to Sites, the end
Of the railway. After one has
assembled the hills, the most beauti.
! full landscape the human eye ever
beheld spreads out to both sides
for 20 or 30 miles. This is a gard.
en- of Eden. Nowhere in the
United States can better ground bt
found. Farmers that settle here
will become wealthy in q few
years. Mines are located south
and east of here, and these viii
employ people enough in few
years 20 that there will be "A goot
local market for all the product,
raised. The railroad is about q
miles distant. Formerly farmers
had to haul their products x
miles to market. In one or per
haps 2 or 3 years there will be ont
or two railroads built to the Cana.
Prairie. At any rate this is pro
jected and then the price of lant
will go up, and whoever owns any
land then will reap the benefit
All this will come true just tn
same as the price OF land il
Illinois went up after railroads
were built and cities in great mum
Der sprung mp. Here the Ian,
will raise in price quicker, because
vast stretches of land Of real,
good tillable ground are not N
abundant as in the middle states
Especially would call the atten
J ton of the young farmers, who ar

great opportunities offered here
The price Of land is too high, her

very few years, can farm Ian,
