drilling well for ]. A. Brown. The
farmers in this vicinity have much
less expense in getting wells than

sometimes necessary to drill 800 feet
for water.

Talk about the Alaska blizzard!
During the cold storm about the mid
die Of October one could well mag
inc he was taking an Alaska trip had
he been caught in that snowstorm in
Gentle valley; especially in the foot
hills, where your correspondent was.
Snow flew in clouds and to use the
expression of 7-year-old boy: 1T
was so cold you couldn't put your
head out of doors!" Not being very
well prepared, as far as footwear is
concerned for winter weather, the
writer brought few chilblains home
with him to remember the storm by.
When old Sol began to pour out his
rays the clouds dispersed and the
snow soon disappeared in the valley
and foothills, but the timber covered
mountains will contain the white
carpet are spreading them until the
dawn of Summer next June.
Some very valuable mineral dis
coveries have been made on the
mountains between Gentle valley
and Fish creek, and some day there
may be some good mines there.
Near Grace the waters of Bear
river have been harnessed and an
electric light plant installed and that
little village is lighted thereby. The
greater part of the electric fluid gen.
Grated there, am informed, will be
transmitted to Salt Lake City.
The reservoir Uncle Sam is build
ing at site on the Blackfoot river is
going to be of some benefit to the
people of Gentle valley. was
credibly informed that portion of
the impounded water will be con-
veyed by means of canals to the
northeastern part of the valley and
utilized for the benefit of settlers.
The settlers are jubilant over the
prospects Of railroad running
through the valley from Preston to
Alexander, whether they ever get one
or not. A road over this route is a
much needed comomdity, not only to
the interest Of the people in this val
ley, but to the Bear Lakers and 9TH
ers who are Utah visitors. as the dis
lance could be shortened.

CANYON CREEK.


The crops here on Canyon Greek
are now garnered and many are mar
keted. The results are more than
satisfactory to the farmers and are
exciting great interest elsewhere.
The average acreage Of wheat on
both sod and older ground is 80
bushels. There are instances of 1t
running as high as so bushels. Oats
also yield enormously. Potatoes seem
to be the next best crop; the size
and quality being more than could be
desired. All vegetables grew very
large, even on sod. In the Bell ranch
east Of the creek and far up the hill
side near the timber. there grew
turnips which weigh over seven
pounds. These can be seen on ex-
hibition ct the store. A few have
been experimenting In raising red
clover seed and believe this will also
yield greatly.
Much ground has been soWed this
fall and the ground prepared with
greater care to preserve the moisture
SO necessary In dry farming. This
has required hard labor on the part
OF those living east Of the creek as
there are not any wells there yet and
some must haul water four miles
The wells are In the near future. One
man found water at IL feet, some
must 60 much deeper. All surveyed
land is now taken up, so that In order
to obtain good claim, one must seek
it much farther away. The land here
is rapidly increasing in value. A
ranchman just west Of Canyon Creek
was offered $6,400 for 100 acres, but
refused this price. Another nearby
paid $4,000 for his ranch last spring.
Several things make this section
desirable; it is near timber and saw
mills and is on the road to the coal
mines in Teton Basin, TO winch rail-
road will soon be projected. There
is also some talk Of extending an
electric road out here, too. Further
more, a stage line runs through here
to the jackson Hole country, bring
ing the mail daily to all on or near
the route.
This fall new voting precinct was
established at Canyon Creek and
great interest was taken in the cleo
ton. Sixty-eight were registered and
fifty-seven voted. Some who failed
to vote were women that have gone
away to spend the winter and one
or two men who arrived too late at
the polls. A school district will be
organized in the spring and a
womans club has been already.
Let those who have no faith in dry
farming take trip out here and see
for themselves.

PAYETTE


While going from Payette to Cald-
well via Short Line Saturday, Nov.
14th, it was impressed on me that
|alkali does not destroy every specie
of vegetation, and that salt grass pos
sesses unsung beauties and uses.
decided to seed down in salt grass a
little strip of land l have in mind,
that is threatened with alkaH. This
grass makes perfect sod; it is a
beautiful brown carpet in winter and
a green sward, pleasing to the eve (if
not to the barefoot boy) in summer
time. All kinds of stock feed on it
more or less. Some one please tell
me how to seed this grass or the
number of the bulletin to ask for at
Washington, d. G. wonder If there
grows any salt grass in East Aurora,
N. Y, where Gilbert Hubbard lives
and If he could not tell us in his
deep, strong, lucid, intelligent way,
just what God made alkali for.
We raised pumpkins enough for
Halloween Jack O'Lanterns and
Thanksgiving pies from few seed
saved from pumpkin donated for
lantern last year and planted in a.
little patch Of brambles and tar weed.
These are the real old Yankee pump
kins and we will exchange pumpkin
seed for salt grass seed or dry farm
products. as we plan to, investigate
dry farming In 1909. Pearl.
