Three Gentlemen From Indiana: q

anything We nave seen since we left

old Indiana.

tcn-ivcly to friends in different Part, OF

terms While | never stopped Oh in

w. j Dunn. lieutenant Of police for
the Pennsylvania Railroad company
said: ! have Travelled whole lot
through the west. but this j. my first
trip through this valley III travelling
on a train it is hard To always size up
a country in its right light But l do
think YOU have very fertile valley
here. From what / hear OF this valley
and what | see of il on this trip. don't
think the people fully realize What
good thing they have"
NJ. j. Vance OF Kalamazoo. Mich: II
have been taking close observations Of
the country all along the line. and while
| can't say that this part OF the coun-
try looks Just right to me. | must say
that all indications point out much nc
tivity and general prosperity in all the
little towns | pass through. Nou ev-
identity have plenty of wind and dust
out here. | am aware that we cannot
always appreciate the merits Of com
try by passing through it on a train.
We must Judge it more by the people
living in it. Ny observations congince
me that there is an intelligent and in
dustrous class out here. What dctracts
from the real merits of the valleys mere
than anything else is perhaps. the vast
tracts of waste lands. Between here
and the Dakota's there are thousands
and thousands OF acres Of land where
there is nothing but sage brush and de-
ert tracts. But when do strike a
green spot in the valleys it reminds me
of a garden that abounds in beauty and
abundance"
