The local business of the Oregon
Snort Line railroad Is still keeping
up at a good rate, which is a plen-
aid showing for the new town Of
Dietrich and shows that those who
came here TO go into business have
made no mistake. Business men are
all sat SIZED with the volume of
business they have handled so far
this fall and all predict they will
have all that they can do to take
care OF next spring and summer.
Such men as, Peterson, Burgess,
Leach, Alkire and others who have
several Teams each and were used
IT, clearing sage brush and cultiyat-
ing land for irrigation have had
their hands full this season work
ing for The new settlers who were
rot prepared to do their own work.
Work has been crOwding all the
season and wages high and the
ckHces are that next year will also
b.. a good one for them.
The Dietrich Commercial club is
cooperating with the Idaho Irrlga-
t'on company in an effort to get
the roads that lead into town in a
better condition. They have the
Rad leading to Richileld in first
class condition and those travelling
1t say there is none better in the
county. They are now engaged on
he roads leading from town to the
south, east and west and it is the
intention of the club and the COM
pany to get them in good condition
before winter sets in. If you want
10 Sc, a live bunch of boosters,
men who are doing something for
the country, just attend meeting
OF the Dietrich Commercial club
and watch how they 60 about it.
A. Leach is another of the stick
ing KIND as is evidenced by his i'm
provemnets since settling on his
claim southwest of town, in the
early spring. In order to save the
Time for work lie lived first in
tent and put up only a shop for
blacksmith ng his own tools. Now
ne mas forty acres under piow, has
built a comfortable two-story house.
4 fine barn, WORKSHOP, and other
small buildings and is preparing to
fence his entire forty acres. Nor
has lac got land enough to satisfy
Inn. hui Is on the watch for more
LecaUse he knows that irrigated
land IN sunny Idaho will be out of
sight Of a man of ordinary means
in few seasons.
! ynn C. Norris, after making ar
to place competent
nan on his Carey ranch located on
lb4 township line south of Dietrich,
Will return to Tacoma for the i'm
mediate future. Mr.. Norris came
here rather skeptical regarding the
adaptability of this climate and soil
FOR successful fruit culture, but af-
ter investigating conditions and see
ing the fruit that has been raised
on The McFall and other orchards
in this locality, he has come to the
that the man who goes
irtO the business on a commercial
bas and takes the proper care OF
:, trees will reap a rich reward.
H. is getting a lot of his land in
this season and later he
vii make fruit business.
B. ID. Vanderveer has provided
against the shutting off of ditch
water for the winter by having
200-bbl. cistern constructed on his
farm east of Dietrich. Later when
his neighbOrs have settled around
HIM he may put down a well with
water works for all concerned. Mr..
. anderveer comes from northwest
crn Washington where fruit is
big paying proposition and he has
looked over many fruit sections in
Idaho and other states and he has
come to the conclusion that the Die
.l1ch tract of Lincoln county pos
sesses all the natural advantages 70 |
fruit culture that can be
found anywhere and he is ready to |
bank his money on his Judgment by
10 acres to choice apples
n the spring.
