Overland From Colorado to
Grangeville
PLEASED WITH THE PRAIRIE
Newcomers Will Probably Lo-
cate Here

A party Of seven people, consisting
of Frank Donlavy and family, arrived
this week from Montrose county, Col
orado. The entire journey was make
overland and according to Mr.. Don
lavy this is by far the best way to
travel if one cares to see and learn
every phase of the various countries
passed through. The party started
from their former home in Colorado
on the l 18th of May, their route hav-
ing brought them through Wyoming
and southern Idaho to Grangeville.
They made no effort to complete
the journey in record time choosing
rather to stop and become acquainted
with certain portions of the country as
they came along.
"Camas Prairie looks better to me
than any section we have seen on the
whole trip, said Mr.. Donlavy. "From
the summit Of the White Bird grade
where we obtained our first
view Of this prosperous section it
appeared to be a large basin but | find
the prairie much more rolling than
at first thought. A great portion Of
our trip has been through irrigated
lands, in some districts land is selling
as high as 5000 and better per acre.
These bumper crops of yours all raised
without irrigation and which are Just
on the eve of successful harvesting
are one Of the many good features Of
this locality which commend it to the
newcomer. 1t looks far better to me
than any of the high priced irrigated
land | have seen. think there are
some exceptional opportunities here
and expect to make my future hom,
on Camas Prairie"
Mr.. Donlavy and family are resid
ing in the Lewis property in the east
part Of the city.

bOES INTO EFFECT TODAY
ctites-Crangeville Line Is Now
