LETTER FROM MONTANA.
Writes About Her Trip
West.

Dear Editor:-Though l would
write you a few words in regard to
our trip west and the Bitter Root
Valley. A party of nineteen of us
left st. Paul Saturday evening, May
I'd, in a special car and arrived in
Hamilton Tuesday morning of the
25th and had a delightful trip.
After breakfast our party started
out sight seeing in automobiles !;
spent the day on the west side of
the valley visiting many fine orch
ards and Lake Como at the head of
the big ditch belonging to the Val
ley Irrigation Co. On Wednesday
our party started out to take in the
east side and the Sunset orchard
land, and l think they have the
cream of the whole valley. l think
this is the most beautiful spot l have
ever seen; train loads of people are
coming in here every day and all
land and town property is going up
fast. l believe they have just woke
up to the fact that this is the "val-
ley of opportunity
