meeting held at Meadows, Idaho, ana
to say that the members of the assoc

! ting it mildly.
The members of the association all
met at Weiser a large number hay-
ing their wives with them, on Satur-
day morning where they were treat
ed to auto rides about the city of
Weiser and were taken to the Sunny
Slope Orchard proposition. This tract
OF land comprises one thousand ac-
res OF fine fruit land set to apples
and watered by a pumping plant by
water lifted thirty feet from the
Snake river. The company sells this
land on the installment plan and
contract to deliver a growing orchard
of good winter varieties of apples to
the buyer in five years. The land
is fine fruit land and the company
have set the trees and are caring
for them in the best manner possible
and will continue to do so during the
life of the contract until the land
becomes the property of the pur-
chaser. After the auto rides the
members of the association returned
to the city and were served lunch

one of the most pleasant features OF

Al Meadows the good people were
untiring in their efforts to provide

email Mace but the disposition OF
those people tend to make a visitor
tbara believe that when the present

and railroad facilities secured there
will be something doing. They are
boosters and entertainers of the fin
ast sort and the stranger thrown IN
tboir midst for a short time is loath
to leave.
