ing into the valley seeking invest
ment in orchard and farm lands are
so well pleased with the outlook here
that they usually sign up for tract.
some small and same large tracts.

those who come To the Bitter Root
valley. that land values are somewhat
higher than in some Of the newly ir-
rigated sections Of the west. and

edge in mind, are no doubt easier to
please after seeing the quality of the
lands offered to them.

prominent real estate dealer recently
after returning with his load Of land
seekers, how well posted these pen

and opportunities Of the valley. The

gard To the valley. When these peo-
ple IL come here TO see the land they
