ette Valley"
Last week we published an inter
esting boost from the Logan Qowa)
Observer. 1t was in the form OF q
letter written by Mrs. e. 4. Beck
of Logan, Iowa. who visited friends
in Payette recently. This week we
are handed copy of the same
paper in which the editor has a
lengthy article on Western Land"
From the tone OF the article II
seems that he has been "guyed" con-
siderably by semc Of his patrons
for boosting western land and In
replying to those who object to his
speaking highly of western condi-
items he says In part;
1--WE have never advocated that
anyone who has a farm here should
sell it and go to an irrigated Sec
ticn or any other country. for we
believe they are better off here. But
there is not land enough here for
all that want II, and somebody has
to go away to get land and they
have been going to Canada. to the
Da6o!as, to Texas and other places.
"They are coming back from Tex
aa--we never recommended that
anyone go there. they are coming
back from Oklahoma, from North and
South Dakota and we have never
tried to sell any land there, but
you haven't heard of anyone coming
back from the irrigated fruit lands
Of the Payette Valley. Idaho. or
The same kind of land further west"
