without sacrifice it would be without
value.
| We put in these observations as kind
of preamble to something we would like
to say to the farmers in this neighbor-
| hood. Don't sell your land If you can
| help it. In any event, don't sell more
than you have to Keep 40 or so acres, at
all hazard. We have known arid Idano
for 30 years. We can remembe the time
when all that vast country from the Port
neuff canyon to the Tetons was not con-
sidered worth 80 cents for any purpose
on earth except TO build toll roads on.
| Up there the winds used to blow the horns
off Texas steers, the topsoil would float
around in the heavens for days and then
roll up in windows at the base of the
Big Butte, go miles from Blackfoot. Up
there for four months in the year the
mercury would retire into Its cell and
hibernate. You never could find the
mercury in thermometer after the Goth
of November. And then when a calm
warm day did happen along, the sand
would blister the feet of centipede, the
sun would burn hole in the head of a
king bolt. and the mosquitoes destroy
every living thing. moving about un-
armored. They say the climate of that
country is better than it used to be- 1t
could stand tremendous Improvements
without hurting it. But in 10 years,
land has advanced from nothing to so,
$50 and $50 an acre
In 1876, Centennial year, we bought 90
acres on Fort Hall bottom from real
estate man named Soldier Coat. He was
noble-red man. We paid him half
plug of navy tobacco and small bottle
of Florida water for all his rights titles
and interests. When his friends learned
of the TRANSACTION, they offered to unload
| the whole reservation at the same price
This scared us into the belief that we had
made bad investment, so we snapped
our interests to a man named Axtell for
pack of cards with which TO beat Soldier
Coat out of the Florida water. Axtell
left the country in disgust and went to
Vermont A few months ago he came
back and and was trying to buy some of
The frayed edges of that reservation for
$50 an acre. You see, he let go at the
wrong time, and so did we. This shows
that a fool and his opportunities are soon
parted. We hope the farmers here will
lay their experiences to heart. Though
lightly recounted. it teaches valuable
lesson. In a few years the land hereabout
will be very valuable. Hold on to as
much of it as you can possibly put under
cultivation. Struggle to have a 40 or 80

Ex- Minister WI tells the men OF

But he did not mention the real
trouble which prevents a trade from
growing up between the United

naturally rich. She could supply the

she fights back every attempt to push

WOOD AND WATER SUPPLY.

Wood and water, or in other words.
the forests and streams are today among
the most important of the country's pos
sessions. In the west they are indisp, n
sable, the forests for lumber and for the
protection of the water supply, and the
streams for The reclamation Of thousands
Of acres of useless land through irriga
tion. 1t has been estimated that there
are S75, 000 600 acres of so called ari
lands west of the Missouri river which
with the water now available, can be
made richly productive sh5 the seat OF
large populations. Thus in the west
the streams, even more than the forests,
must be considered Of prime Importance
as home makers In the east and west
alike, and over all the country, the
streams are rising yearly in Importance
for water power, and as towns and cities
increase, for domestic supply as we'll.
But with the streams the forests must
always stand as protectors. The preser-
walton of the forests on the mountains
and foothills means the perpetuation of
the water supply, and the security of
the water supply means incalculable
development and benefit for ali sections
of the country. The results of the in
vestigations of the q. s. Geological Sur
vey in its study of the water resources
OF the country, have repeatedly demon
strated the increasing value OF the
streams. The forests and water re-
sources are SO closely allied that they
must always stand side by side in the
development of the country.
