will be grown in 1906.
Particularly fine opening here
too, for good blacksmith.
There are already two large and
splendid hotels around the Lakes,
either in or near Lardo, but there
is still room, and in fact, an urgent
need of another large hotel. There
is an average annual tide of fully
1000 visitors to the Lakes.
A jaunty little steamer, capaci-
tated to carry over 100 passengers
makes all points on the lakes.
The Lakes and nearby streams
afford, probably, the finest fishing
in Idaho, with variety of five kinds.
Unsurpassed, too, the region for
hunting. A few elk are still to be
found and deer and bear are plen-
tiful, and grouse and quail are in
abundance.
The territory tributary to Lardo
embraces all the country immed-
lately environing the Lakes, and
all the northern part of Long Val
ley, one of the most fertile and pro-
ductive and largest of the garden
beds of the state. The valley is go
miles long with an average width
of eight miles. 1t numbers about
5000 inhabitants and is making
forced marches in settlement and
development.
Country adjacent to Lardo is an
excellent as well as farming coun-
try. 1t can grow at least two tons
of timothy hay per acre and bromus
grass Ca high land grass fine for
forage) without water. Lardo town
realty is on the market at from $50
to 800 per acre, and it has en-
hanced in value in the last five
years 125 per cent.
1t is possible, indeed, quite prob
able, that the P. & |. N. railroad
will soon have rail connection with
the Lakes. And if this or any 9TH
er railroad comes to the Lakes it
will soon become one of the most
sought summer resorts in the whole
Pacific Coast region, and Lardo
will grow by leaps and bounds in
to town of first Importance in the
state.
Among the surviving history
makers of first prominence in the
lake country we find: Thos. Mccall,
E. D. York, Albert Gaekel, Clar-
ence Shaw, Melvin Davis, Elmer
Shaw and L. G. Cooper.

vast expanse of waters seeming like
great polished floor of steel, the
lake shore grove-fringed by huge
pines, grand tree-tented outings,
and back of all majestic billowy
mountains crowned with chastest
snow.
The Payette Lakes are at an
altitude of over 5000 feet, are over
nine miles long, and have an aver
age width ranging from one half
to two miles.
The beginning of Lardo, the
social and trade center of a wide
reach of country surrounding the
Lakes, was when a post office was
established twelve years ago.
Today the precinct is peopled
by at least 500 souls. And this
represents an increase of fully one
thousand per cent in five years.
1t boasts a $1,000 school house,
and at least forty pupils presided
over by a most excellent teacher.
In the Hotel Mccall it has an ex-
ceptionally good hotel which cost
$4,000 and can handsomely accom-
modate at least sixty guests at one
time. 1t has three general stores,
