Since our last writing, X. Z. Mas /
sey has made two more sales of land
in the lower part of the valley at $3.50
per acre. Mrs. Massey will have to
look sharp or she will get up some
morning and find the house and the
white horse gone.
We are glad to welcome Mr.. ]. l..
Vincent and family from Milton,
Oregon, just over the Washington
line from Walla Walla, he has pur-
chased land in the valley, and intends
building two story house containing
nine rooms. 1t certainly speaks we'll
for Grand View valley soil and eli
mate, when man will sell his land
in Washington for $ll5O per acre and
buy here, and looks like MIR. Vincent
expects land in this section to go as
high as the price for which he sold.
Mr.. Bailey, who recently came to
Idaho from Michigan, is finishing a
house on his land and will remove his
family from Mountin Home this week.

GUS illness in his family.

1t is very hard to get items since
Grand View letter appeared in Nav
erick and the boys won't even look at
girl. Russ Massey has even quit
dancing and Harold Hiddleson is look
ing at both ends of the week for
Sunday in order not to miss leading
class meeting. We don't know

stands at Grand View. but think 1T
would be advisable for you to strike
a few extra copies as several might
want to subscribe.
On the night of the 22nd the mem

the doors of their new hall to the

then the dancing commenced to music
nv Mr.. and Mrs Ulrich and was
kept up until Old Sol made it SO
lioht that lamps were unnecessary.
Than. Massey was heard to declare

first time he was on earth Dr.
Thames would have danced more, but
he was suffering from nervous
trouble. caused by coming In contact
with the M. WIS goat which had
