Emmett Has MANY Advantages.

(BOise Statesman, Feb. I, 1860
Emmett, the town that is so favor
ably located at the head Of the Payette
valley, is one of the most enterprising
places of the state. 1t has many ad-
vantages and these are recognized by
its people. The latter have organized
a Commercial club to look after the
interests of their section; they are full
Of enthusiasm and ginger, and they
will make a success of their under
taking.
More land is being brought under
cultivation there. and because of its
superiority and the peculiarly favor
able climate enjoyed there. the land
will attract a high class of people
the kind who recognize a good thing
and are willing to pay the price for
it. Such people are not looking for
land the chief merit of which is that
it is cheap, but for land which is cap
able Of being made very valuable. The
Emmett lands are of the latter kind
They command good prices, but that
is because they are capable of indefi-
mite development. Energetic, progress
siVe people in possession of land there
will soon make it worth hundreds of
dollars an acre, and there are always
such people looking for land of that
character.

(SiIver City Nugget, 1860
Our sister town of Emmett, at the
northern terminal Of the Dewey rail-
road, is now enjoying a period of pros
perity even greater than when the
railroad was built, about four years
ago. That was a good agricultural,
stock and lumber country more than
40 years ago, but it has been since
the advent Of the locomotive that
marked changes have taken place.
New people soon enthused it with new
life. Progressive farmers came in, at
tracted by the advantages Of an ex-
cellent soil and plenty of water, and
paid the old timers good prices for
land, for which they easily made good
by introducing modern methods. But
the principal basis for the present
prosperous times is the construction
OF the Canyon canal. Then Emmett is
getting a new wagon road, shortening
the distance and giving a better grade
to Sweet. Horseshoe Bend and Thund-
er mountain, thus securing for the
merchants there a large amount of
trade that has heretofore gone else
where. All this, to say nothing Of good
prospects of a through railroad. The
Emmett Index along with the rest. is
evidently being handed a few gener-
Gus punches of this prosperity, as the
receipt of a large number of new sub
scribers is noted each week in its
columns. Mr.. Skinner. the editor, is
to be Complimented on giving the
town an excellent newspaper.

Sheep Raising Is Profitable
Large Bands Feed in the Valley and Hills

of Emmett to eastern markets.
The market price of wool during the
past four years has averaged II cents,
which means the sheepmen of this
section annually receive for their
fleece $4,000. In 1906 the price was
20 cents a pound; in 1907 it was 10
cents. The average clip per animal
is eight pounds.
Approximately 10000 fat sheep and
lambs are annually shipped to the
packing houses for slaughter. The
average price is SO per head, making
a total of 100000 per year.
Several sheepmen have of late years
turned their attention to early lamb
ing and they have found this a means
of largely increasing their profits.
Landing grounds are selected in shelf
cred spots along the river and pro-
vided with comfortable sheds. By this
means fat lambs are ready for mar
ket in time to eat with June peas, and
these command a high price al east
ern cities.
The handling of such a large num-
Der of sheep requires a small army Of
men - camptenders, herders, cooks
and shearers-and they receive good
wages for their work. The supplies to
feed and clothe these men are pur-
chased from local merchants and is a
large item in the business of this COM
munity.

set out a dozen Tokay grape plants.
Last year they bore a small amount Of
fruit but this year the vines are load
ed. And such grapes! And such
clusters! California can produce moth
ing better. And the flavor is there
toO-the same cXquisiteness that the
soil and water and sunshine, peculiar
to this end of the valley puts into
the peach, the pear, the apple, the
plum and the small fruits. The fruit
is of large size and beautifully color
ed, and many of the clusters are from
six to ten inches long-great big pyra-
midal masses of fruit that make the
beholder's eyes bulge out with wonder.
The success of Mr.. HOpper's expert
ment means much to the fruit growers
of this section and many vineyards
will be planted in the spring. r. B.
Shaw will set out five acres in the
spring and J. r. Field will also set
out several acres.

Southwestern Idaho has been called
the stockman's paradise. Especially
is this true of the country tributary to
the Payette valley. With a mild eli
mate in winter, little or no shelter is
needed. In the summer time stock
find luXuriant pasturage in the hills,
valleys and vast timber reserves to
the north. There they feed from April
until November, when they are
brought to the valley for winter feed
ing. A market is thus created for the
surplus hay of the farmers.
over $4,000 sheep are annually
raised and fed in the Payette and
Squaw creek valleys. During the win
ter months they consume each day
125 tons of hay, beside a large guam
tity Of grain.
The principal flockmasters are:
Andrew Little, The Billiard & Johnson
Sheep and Land company Knox
Bros, Jack Little, James Little, James
Renwick, A. Cruickshank, George
Newman, Fred Brownlee, Mcconnell
Bros, Marler Bros, John Bruce, Will
liam Woody, James Knee, E. w. Tin
dali and E. TennysOn.
During the past four years sheep
raising has been a veritable gold mine
to those engaged in it. A million
pounds of wool and 10000 fat sheep
and lambs are annually shipped out

Big Orchards at Emmett.
(Boise Statesman, Dec. r.,

(BOiSe Statesman, Dec. 12.)
To any one unacquainted with the
slope, bench and bottom lands sur
rounding Emmett the increase in
values within the last six or eight
months seems marvellous and almost
beyond belief. Tracts that changed
hands in April at prices ranging from
$50 to $35 per acre, and the sellers at
that time considered they were getting
a good round price and all it was
worth, have since sold at from SIS to
$3.50 per acre. Not only one or two
especially desirable and well located
places have been sold at these figures,
but several, and most of them to part
les familiar with the possibilities and
resources Of this section. Many of the
buyers are from PaIlisade, Grand
Junction and the Grand valley of Col
Orado. and Utah, all experienced fruit
growers. one man in particular, who
located here recently from Grand
Junction, Colo, bought a fruit ranch
there five years ago for $125 an acre.
This fall he sold it for $500. After
travelling extensively over the various
fruit sections of the northwest and
taking everything into consideration
he bought an SO-acre tract on the
slope near town. paying 1925 an acre
for the raw land and considers ne got
great bargain, believing this to be
a much better fruit country than
where he was in Colorado. The entire
so acres is to be planted to fruit, prin-
Cipally commercial varieties of apples.
This fall more fruit trees were
planted on the slopes and bench than
for several years previously all put
together, and this is only the fore
runner of what will be done next
spring. 1t is impossible to give exact
figures on the probable planting in
the spring, but a very conservative es-
innate places it at 400 or 500 acres. !
Fruit is not the only crop grown in
this section of the Payette valley. 1t
is fast forging to the front as a grain |
and grass country, and is one of the |
especially favored sections where corn |
is grown successfully, there being sew |
eral large fields this year of from 40 |
to 100 acres. The yield varied from |
IS to rs bushels to the acre. Where |
water was furnished in sufficient |
quantities and early enough in the |
season the yield in some instances eX-
ceeded the last named figures.
Another evidence of the wonderful |
growth of Emmett and the country .
surrounding is the in
crease in the attendance at the public
schools. The enrolment is greater
his term than last by 175 scholars.
The present buildings, when erected
and remOdeled a couple of years ago,
we're thought to be large enough for
Iears to come, are already too small

in the face Of these opportunities, the
Payette valley wants more farmers.
They will maybe suspect a hidden de-
feet, a drawback, which has kept pop
ulatiOn out or turned it to more prom
Using fields. An official report made
at Albany, n. Y, shows that there is
room for two million more persons
on the farms of that state. 1t is so
notably in all the west. Every neigh
borhoOd has rich acres that cry out
for wOTkers-aCres on which the right
man will achieve independence by the
simple application of right, modern
methods. The opportunities are here
under the most favorable conditions,
and this is for the eye of the man who
is looking for the right place and the
main chance. 1t is here the cry of a
land that has been remote and is still
almost unknown, a land wonderfully
fertile, that has in its air the con-
stituent elements of health and in its
climate freedom from extremes of
either heat or cold.

DEwBERRIEs ARE PROFITABLE
Returns From One Acre Amounts to
S11OO in Cold Cash.
(FrOm Index, Aug. 20D


Eleven hundred dollars is the
amount received from the sale of dew
berries from one acre by Andrew Jen-
sen this year. To those not acquainted
with the marvellous prOdigality of the
soil in the valley around Emmett, the
above statement may sound like a
fairy tale or a dream of a rarebit
ficnd. But it is as true as gospel, and
Andrew Jensen has the records to
prove it.
Two weeks ago The Index gave the
record of sales Of strawberries made
by the Warden fruit farm from half
an acre-$77O for 100 crates, or an
average price of $1.1O per crate. This
was not a very good year for straw
berries either, the cold, backward
spring and late frosts cutting down the
yield. The record of Mr.. Jensen III
realizing $11OO from an acre of dew
berries adds emphasis TO the claim
that in this section of Idaho it is pos
sible to make more money off of 10
acres, with half the labor, than is
possible on an eastern farm of so or
100 acres. Neither the strawberry
nor the dewberry story is an eXcep-
tional one. They are published because
The Index man happened to run across
them in his quest of news, and because
both Mr. Warden and Mr.. Jensen are
in the habit of keeping a record of
sales of all their products.
The dewberry patch is located on
what is known as the Emil Johnson
farm, a few miles southwest of town.
1t comprises so acres and was bought
by the Jensen brothers last spring for
$500. From one acre the new pro-
prietor has this year received 10 per
cent on his total investment.

Business in all lines is good, merch-

BY the completion last month of the
IdahO-OregOn Light & Power COM
pany's transmission line through the
valley, Emmett is given a 24-hOur
service of both light and power. Power
is generated from two water power
plants, one on the Payette river IS
miles above Emmett and the other on
the Boise river near Boise. The line
traveTseS the bench from one end to
the other and arrangements have been
made to furnish both light and power
to the farmers. Many owners of high
land that cannot be reached by the
irrigation bitches are planning to in
stall electrically driven pumps and
thus add large acreage of rich slope
land to the cultivated area of the val
ley.
