systematically work for the adj
vancement of the valleys interests,
to let the outside world know that
here we have one of the finest and
richest valleys on the face of the
earth, and to encourage the invest
ment of capital for it's further de-
velopment. If the people do not
work for these things, they will be
very slow coming to them. We
have repeatedly urged the neces-
sity for such an organization, and
we are firmly of the opinion that
with one years energetic work sys-
tematically performed by a live
commercial club the valley would
make more material progress than
it will do in three by letting things
take their own course.
There are supposed to be two
commercial clubs in the valley, but
if they are doing anything to fur
ther the valleys interests we have
heard nothing of it. What is need
ed is an organization of the most
public-spirited citizens of each
settlement into one club that would
pull for the whole valley. Each
village could have it's own club to
work for it's particular section, but
to direct attention to the valley
should be the first and main object.
People coming here to invest or
settle could view the country and
please themselves where they To-
Gated or invested, the valley as a
whole would be the gamer. No
matter what particular part of the
valley builds up the most, the rest
OF the valley will benefit provided
the builders come from the outside.
Get the valley built up and rail
roads and everything else will come
to you; you will get nothing with
out striving for it.

A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL.

Next Tuesday will be the first
day of the new year, AMI we take
this opportunity of wishing you all
happiness and prosperity every
day of it's 365.
The year now drawing to a
close has been a good one for the
valley. 1t has witnessed a large
increase in the population; crops
were abundant and of excellent
quality; many fine new buildings
have been erected in different parts
of the valley and other substantial
improvements made; considerable
more land has been brought under
cultivation than formerly; the
railway has built fifteen miles
nearer the north end of the valley
and the valley has attracted the
attention of people outside more
than ever before in it's history.
The outlook for the coming
year is very promising. The com.
pletion of the state wagon road in.
to the Big Greek country will en-.
able the necessary machinery to be
taken in for the opening up and
development of rich mining prop
critics there, thus adding to oul
markets. The Thunder Mountain
region is slowly but surely recover.
ing from it's setback and work on
an extensive scale on the big prop
critics there is being arranged fol-
next spring. 1t is considered thai
the mineral lands being located
and prospected on West mountain
will probably prove to be very rich
mining ground, all reports being
very favorable. The p. & /. N.
railway will, it is believed, build to
Salmon Meadows as early as DOS
sible in the year. There seems to
be little doubt now that there will
be a Touring mill, perhaps two,
erected in the valley the coming
year, and several other projects are
talked of which will greatly bene-
fit the valley.
One thing that is very much
needed at this stage of the valleys
development is an organization of
the business men and other leading
citizens into a commercial club to
