A Letter From Sweden.

Nels P. Peterson is in receipt OF a
letter from Ole Bohman, who is now
visiting his old home in Sweden, in
which Mr.. Bohman speaks entertain
ingly of his trip, and particularly of the
fatherland. At the time the letter was
written-May 1.-THE song birds
were flooding the air with sweet melody
and especially was Mr.. Bohman en-
thusiastic over the cookoo's song. 1t
had been twelve years since he left
his old home and he was surprised at
the changes in that time. The farmers
were expecting big crops although at
that time no spring sewing had been
done. But there was every indication OF
a prosperous year ahead OF the people
there. Land, he writes, has increased
much in value during his absence.
Farms that were worth only ten thous-
and croner twelve years ago are now
bringing from twenty to twenty-five
cronor. He said he was having a
most excellent time and that he was
pretty well filled up on coffee, which
is constantly served at all times when
friends call. He will start for Troy
shortly after the midsummer festival,
June "a, and will be accompanied by
his sister and party Of other friends
who are pre- airing to come to Troy
The party will arrive in Troy about the
middle of July. Mr.. Bohman adds
that with all the pleasures and JOY
of his visit he has a longing to return
to Idaho, which he intimated was the
best place on earth.

those whom he had tried to defrud,
started out and soon located the fellow
at the N. P. depot, and the Johanson
merchandise recovered. The fellow
was ordered out of town and he went.

Troy Land is Good.

Soil in the vicinity Of Troy is GER
tainly alright. During the week S. S.
Frisk, who owns farm a mile north
east of town brought to the News Office
a sample of Little Club wheat that is
exceptionally fine, and which was
grown on pine land that had been in
cultivation only two seasons. Mr..
Frisk also brought in eight ears Of
corn that are very creditable for Idaho,
and possibly not far behind the same
variety produced in the corn belt.
The seed came from Kentucky last
year and the corn produced here was
equally as good as the seed. The
corn was also grown an pine land that
had been under cultivation but foui
seasons.
