or later lead to union ot sentiment
and q concert of action that will
end the Russian hell upon earth
1t cannot go on forever. The time
will come and it ought not TO be far
distant, when civilization will say
TO the Gear, you shall not make
your palace the sepulcher of a
peoples hopes, nor continue to flood
our realms with your bleeding sub
jec,s fleeing from your assassin
soldiers
1t is this same society of the
Peoples Guard that is find ng
and making homes for the thous-
ands of people who lind Russia too
small tor, their political opinions.
They are supported by 272, ZOO vot-
ers in the states and territories
and their efforts are meeting with
success that is sure and will be
lasting. They are not encouraging
loose and woi thless class of
people to come and take advantage
of their efforts but only the thrifty
ana the deserving find succor at
their hands.
Baron Won Weimer is in this
community making an investiga-
tior as to the advisability of pur-
chasing a large tract of land for
these people and on being asked re-
garding the conclusions he had ar
rived at was anxious to say that
Sunny Idaho had fulfilled every
expectation and that he was en-
tirely satisfied with the country.
He said: ''As soon as | was taken
to some of the farm homes on the
outskirts Of town i was entirely
convinced OF the possibilities of dry
farming The farm of MIR. AXE is
sufficient to convince the most
'skeptical of the productiveness of
the soil. On one side of his fence
we saw the most beautiful gardens,
and orchards and less than six feet
away, on the opposite side, sage
brush held supremacy. They did
not have to drive our party any far
ther to see developments that were
enough for us. When such results
can be accomplished no more con-
vincine argument could be advanced
that this is the country we are look
ing for. shall recommend to the
society the lands of Idaho in the
strongest terms, and there is nc
question but this will be suffi.
cient to induce them to purchase
the lands desired. We will pur.
chase a tract of 5000 acres in one
piece and several smaller tracts o.
about $50 acres. This land will bt
paid for in cash by the society anc
they in turn will sell it to the set
tiers on long time and easy pay
ments. If the farmer is poor and il
need we will pay them at the rat,

family So you can see that w,
will not bring paupers to you
land or undesirable citizens. Th,
society will vouch for every famil,
in their charge, and from 800 II
400 families will be placed on the
lands. He further stated tha
different parts of the United States
had been investigated but nont
found so entirely satisfactory as tn,
lands of southern Idaho.
This visit of Baron Won WeiIne
| to Mountain Home means much t,
the community. 1t means that ther,
will be added to our population from
\ 1000 to 1900 souls. The lands in
stead OF being purchased by Specu
lators will pass into the hands o
men who will take possession will
their families and make farmin,
lands that will produce and add t,
the wealth of the country. Th,
people that will 5e brought here ar,
a thrifty class and will make a sue
cess where many an American
farmer would get discouraged ane
utterly fail. They are-men wh,
know hardships and have suffered
want-mer who can exist an.
find contcntmept on small begin
nings where the average man woui.
find it too slow and give up. Sucl
thrift will clear the sage brush
and make the lands blossom
and give forth abundantly. The,
will be wealth producers and ad,
10 the prosperity of the commu
nifty.
