A surprise planned by Mrs.
O. L. Case and participated in
by a number of his friends was
greatly enjoyed by Mr.. Case
and the eleven guests who
were at the pleasant Case home
Saturday evening. AS Mr.. Case
has been confined to his room
for over a week from an injury
Mrs. Case thought that he
would be greatly cheered by
having a few of his friends and
accordingly Thomas Arthur, C.
A. Bolter, C. w. Hunt, F. D.
Stearns. Geo. w. McCoid, DIR.
j. L. Witt, j. A. Heterick, A.
S. Grosvenor, Amor Stern,
Rev. Lew C. Harris and A. j..
Shinn were asked for a 6 o'clock
dinner and a sociable evening.
AS a surprise it was very sue
cessful and as an enlivener for
Mr.. Case it could not have
been better. A most sumptuous
two course repast was served
and the older boys, after dis
posing of the eatables, leaned
back in their chairs and for the
entire evening the room was
filled with stories of the days
when they were young and boys
together, with memories of
school boy fights and troubles
and Of those who had lived
here many years. The affair
was particularly enjoyed by O..
L. Case, G. A. Bolter and C. w.
Hunt, who as boys together
used to p|ay near the old Jeddo
mill and dam nearby, which
has long since been destroyed.
These three, despite the fact
that they all live in the same
town, seldom have such an or
portunity for calling up old
times and reminiscing as they
did on that occasion. Observer.

also Chelan and Lewiston counties in
the same state compare favorably
with Bear River valley, Utah, yet
THESE Washington lands range from
$500 to 5000 per acre, while Bear River
valley lands sell from S75 to $3.50 per
acre according TO the lay Of the land,
its drainage, THE most important item
in an irrigated county, and its age.
Good land here, as in all other places,
is constantly advancing in price.
Mr.. John Holmgren planted In 1904,
80 acres Of sugar beets in Bear River
valley. He dug and sold over l,50O
tons from this 10 acres, and an average
of over % tons to the acre.
On his best acre he raised 10 tons
Four acres Of it yielded 80 tons to the
acre, and % acres 30 tons to the acre.
This is the largest yield of sugar
beets for one, four, % or 80 acres ever
recorded.

Eastern Apple Market.

Good apples are a very scarce article
at the present time and consequently
are selling at high prices. Travelling
men from the commission houses say
that apples are wholesaling at So per
barrel out of their houses and are a
scarce article at that price. The meas
urement in bushels and pecks in a bar
rel of apples is short, which shortage
is attributed to the crop being handled

The Great Bear River Valley
Wonderful Successes Attained by Individual Farmers phs
nomsna Yields Of BeetS and Fruits; Descriptive Article.

The following article taken from a
recent issue of the Dallas, Pennsyl-
vania, Post, is descriptive Of the
great Bear River Valley, just around
the western range from us The arti.
Gle goes into such detail in regard to
production that many Cache valley
people will undoubtedly find pleasure
in the article.
That Cache valley is practically the
equal in every respect and the super
ior In many can hardly be questioned,
and to those who have not cast up our
own resources and possibilities the
following will serve as an excellent in
dication. The Post says.
"Good markets and plenty Of water:
the valley OF sugar beets, potatoes, al.
falfa, wheat, oats, barley, cherries,
berries, apples, grapes, peaches, pears.
plums prunes and prosperity.
Everything that goes to make
happiness and wealth is the product
OF the land and labor, and where the
land is easily cultivated and very pro-
ductive the quicker will happiness
and wealth be obtained. See what
Bear River valley has done.
SIN the year 1900 Mr.. James Carter
from Owattonna, Mimi, bought 300
acres of Bear River valley land at $40
per acre. This land has paid for
every improvement that has been
made on it, and today Mr.. Carter
could get $50 per acre for his land.
Not only has Mr.. Carter made $50, 900
on his investment, but he has regain
ed his health, as he came to Bear
river an invalid.

Beets Worth SOS Per Acre.

These sugar beets netted Mr.. Holm
gren $65 per acre after evcrv expense
was paid In the year 1908, Mr.. Holm
gren raised SO tons from "a acres, and
in 1902, so tons from 2 acres.
Bear River valley excels any other
spot on the globe for size, yield and
quality OF sugar beets.
John Brisben Walker, editor of the
Cosmopolitan, once asked (Mormon)
Elder, What was the religion Brigham
Young taught? This was the answer:
"His doctrine was something like this,
Pillow deep and SOW alfalfa. and Mr..
Holmgren's farm has been treated to
this great arid land and Mormon"
doctrine several times. Alfalfa roots
grow to be from 30 to 10 feet long (if
any one doubts this let him read it up)
and each of these roots sends out
thousands of rooJlets in every direc-
tion, while the luxuriant overgrowth
(of which three and sometimes five
crops are harvested yearly is natures
developer and fertilizer in providing
humus (decayed vegetable matter) and
giving good texture to the soil.
The only thing on earth that the
raw land here lacks is humus, and al
falfa, which takes to the soil natur-
ally, provides for that need, and there
is not an acre Of drainable land in
this valley which can not be brought
to great fertility by rotating alfalfa
with other crops
1t costs 300 per acre TO clear the
pine stump land and get it ready for
seeding in the Pacific coast, and the
land is best at first: while here, $40
per acre will do the same thing, and
your land will better every year IL is
properly farmed.
When we know that seven tons of
alfalfa, % tons of sugar beets, 400
bushels OF potatoes, 100 bushels of
oats, So bushels OF barley and 80 BUSH
els of wheat to the acre are not I'M
common crops in Bear River valley, we
can ready see how the Bear River val
ley farmers are so prosperous and con-
tented. Nature has given our valley
farmer a good climate, deep, rich,
sandy loan soil, and plenty of water
for irrigation and when he adds to
these three elements good seed, brain
and muscle, he will reap each and
every year bountiful harvest.

the Oregon Short Line has placed sid

is one OF the examples Of how Utah,
from the first has bent her energies
to favor the farmers, and the unpre-
cedented development and prosperity
Of the state has shown the wisdom Of
her course.
Mr.. Moroni Mortensen, in Bear River
valley, has seven acre apple orchard
(trees six TO ten years old). He sold
from this orchard 700 boxes irst class
apples, and 600 boxes second class.
These apples netted him on the ground,
after paying for the boxes, the first
class 30 cents a box, the second 80
cents box, or 1890 net from a young
sevcn-acre orchard. His peaches,
pears, prunes, plums and cherries did
equally well. Il. Hanson, who owns a
l5.acre orchard, received as much per
acre for his orchard as Mr.. Morten.
