the biggest real estate deals closed
up in that section of the country in

consists of more than 1000 acres.
and is really a subdivision of the
growing town of Twin Falls, Ida.
Mr.. Miller is very enthusiastic
over the proposition.
The tract of land bears the pleas
ing name of Orcharara and is de-
clared by those who have investigat-
ed it to be one of the greatest fruit
raising propositions in the west to-
day.
1t is said that a large number of
Grand Junction people expect to go
to Twin Falls at an early date to
look into the advantages and re-
sources of Orchalara, with a view of
making Investigations. The tract
consists of 1.040 acres of the land
and was last week purchased by the
Landreth Investment & Develop
ment Company. in which many To-
cal people are interested. The con-
sideration is said to have been OF
great size. The tract is to be di-
vided up into g. and 10-acre tracts,

proves that it is big proposition in
every sense of the word.
