We travelled through that beautiful
country till two p. m, then we chang
ed cars at a little Indian town called
Lapwai, there we took the Camas
Prairie Line for Ilo, and the scenery
up that road SURPRISING any that I
ever saw. Ilo is situated on top of
a mountain called Craig Mountain,
and to climb this mountain the train
has to ascend grade 3,700 feet above
the sea. And when you reach the
cop Of the mountain you will find q
beautiful prairie country and the
most productive soil ever heard Of.
Fifty bushels OF wheat to an acre as
an average crop. They raise wheat,
oats, barley and timothy.
