getting rich off Of five and ten.acre
tracts OF land. They work few
months each year real hard, and a ma
Jority of them spend their winters in
California-or go to Europe. Grand
Junction is the largest town in the val
ley, being located near the confluence
OF the Grand and Gunnison Rivers, only
a short distance from the Utah line.
Residents of the valley leave home at
4:O0 o'clock in the afternoon over the
Colorado Midland and are in Denver
for breakfast Palisade, twelve miles
east of Grand Junction, is the second
largest town in the valley.
One by one the Eastern farmers are

convinced do not hesitate long in sur.

For Instance, ii. J. Box Of Perry, Iowa,
came to Palisade short time ago and
looked around. He saw and was con.

sixyear-old orchard Of fifteen acres at
$3.50 per acre. Six years ago the
