For instance. the old NJ. +. Albert
ranch, containing forty acres. q few
miles south of Payette, sold less than
FIVE wears ago for s4.ce0. A few weeks

It's great value is q young orchard of

that within two years $4,000 Will not
be enough to buy the place.
The owner of this yaluable properly
was one of the farmers who within the
last month assisted in the organization
of company that viii erect a factory
at Payettc for the manufacture of apple
butter. Jelly, vinegar, etc. The flcJory
will be completed in time to handle the
frui. from the coming seasons crop.
Land planted to canIa;uupes, sugar

scarcely set enough hands to put up the
fruit to provide for its orders.
These are but a few Of the things that
go to make land in the Payette valley
cheap at 500 an acre. 1t is cheap at
the prices asked for it because it pro-
duces the crops that make it worth
more. 1t is constantly on the increase
lii value. and its real worth is not yet
nearly reached.
Productive land is of but slight worth
if its products are net easily accessible
to markets. Payette is the distributing
point for the rich country miles around
it. As has been said before, the town
is on the main line of the Oregon Short
Line railroad and in direct reacn os the
markets east. Heretofore the farmers
, up the valley south of Payette have
been somewhat handicapped from lack
of TRANSFORMATION facilities, but those
conditions are no more. Tho Payettc
Valley railroad travcrseS the richest
section of the valley.
To illustrate the energy with which
things are done here. the contracts for
the construction of the railroad, which
is fifteen miles in length, were signed ii
February Of 1906. and the ROAD was
complete and in operation the first day
of September. The coming of the road
marks new era for the Payette val
ley. There are thirteen stations on the
road between Payette end New Plyr1-
outh. and many sidetrackS for beet and
fruit loading.
The road was built by four men. Pres
ident c. w Nibley. Vice President and

being sugar beets and over 100 apDles
The road also enjoys good traffic In
merchandise to points in the valley.
The town of Payette is a favored spot
in which to live. Its surroundings are
healthful and pleasing to the eye. Dur
ing the season when nature clothes her
self in robes of green the residence dis
tricts of the town are beautifui parks
Shade trees line the streets, ana ave-
nues Of flowers grow in abundance
Handsome and substantial residences
are on every side, and the very dtrnos-

The business portion of the town u

are being added constantly. The town
is thriving It's two banks, indicative
of the prosperity of the community, arc
doing an immense business. The First
National and the Bank OF Commerce
consolidated less than r year ago. and
under the charter of the First National

its kind in the state. The other, the
Payette National, opened for business
about a year ago, and during the

ing enforced rigidly and its effect is to
clear the orchards of scale and other
fruit pests until the last season better
fruit was shipped from the valley than
ever before. Payette valley fruit for a
number of years has held a leading
place in the eastern market. but by the
organized efforts and watchfulness of
the growers its reputation is becoming
even more enviable.
1t was the fruit from the Payette
valley that won the $500 loving cup
given by Senator Clark for the display
of fruit best in appearance and freest
from imperfections at the Ogden meet

gress. At the recent meeting of the
congress in Boise individual exhibits
from the Payette valley were awarded

HustIing Real Estate Firm.

The New Plymouth Land & Colonial
ton company of Payette, Ida, with it's
energetic corps of officers and field
men. has been largely responsible for
the transformation OF a great portion
of the Payette valley from sagebrush
to productive farms and comfortable
homes during the past five years.
This year the company is clearing
hundreds of acres of its land, near New
Plymouth, the thriving colony of 300
people more favorably situated than
any other part of the valley. New Ply
mouth, the terminus of the Payette
Valley railroad, is rapidly becoming a
village of prominence and wealth
through the efforts of this company.
About LOCO acres of the best land be-
longing to this company will be planted
to sugar beets next year This land is
now being sold at from $50 TO 500 per
acre. These lands will produce a net
revenue, after paying all expenses, of
from $50 to $50 per acre
