BOUND TO GO THROUGH GATE.

the village characters of Stockbridge
Mass, was an old darby named Horace

shack" which stood on the outskirts
OF the villa" and was surrounded by
board fen ;, he found the latch of
the gate broken, making it matter of
considerable difficulty TO open the gate
from the outside.
His wife, a buXom person upon whom
he largely depended for support, re.
lated his subsequent proceedings to
me when she brought our washing
next day. Said she:

\ newspaper correspondent who at
| tended the meeting Of the National lrri-
| CATION Congress at Boise Idaho, in Sep
TENDER, 1906, gives some interesting facts
as to the size of the valley which we
| copy:
"A source of surprise to the delegates,
and one which the man from the western
| states could appreciate better than the
one from the rain belt, was the great
amount of water flowing in the canals in
deep and swift. the canals showed evil
dence of capacity that opened the eyes
of those who know the value of water for
irrigation, aud they pronounced this the
best watered region in all the states that
irrgate
Another source of surprise to them
was the great size of the valley When
in formed at Boise that they were to be
taken out for a iaunt of two days and
three nights on swift trains to see u few
of the irrigated sections of the valley,
they had little idea of the great expanse
of country they would cover. To the
Californian the San Joaquin Valley is the
biggest thing out Of doors, but a train
goes up one side of the valley and down
the other in day. The Oregon Short
Line took our guests out on a trip that
lasted from Thursday night until Sun
day morning, and showed them only
few spots, all in the same valley"
Another writer, commenting on the
impressions of the eastern men in the
same excursion, when they saw some of
the big irrigation projects, shows that one
must visit them to understand them. We
copy some of his observations.
THE only way to get an idea Of the
marvellous development and TRANSFORMS
ton in this valley under its great reclaim
alton works, is to so and see them. am

First movement, but would make 1t i'm
perative to homeseekers to See Idaho

This is the only way to get correct
ideas of these big irrigation works. When |
people in the east read about them they |
are apt to think of them in the light of |
some little drainage system near their |
home but when they stand on the ground |
and see them in operation, all the old |
ideas are dispelled in the comprehension |
OF the reality"
