New Era Of Prosperity.
New Plymouth Is in line for
stronger growth than It has enjoyed
in several years. This growth should
and will come as a result of the large
new territory which will become di-
rectly tributary to New Plymouth
when the new steel bridge 10 completed
across the Payette river at a point
just to the northeast Of New Plymouth.
The new territory thus to become trib-
utary to New Plymouth comprises the
Big Willow creek valley which is about
22 miles long and averages a mile and
half wide. Big Willow is not only
very rich and fertile valley already
well settled up with prosperous ranch
ers, but there are two big sheep shear
ing plants in this valley whose annual
wool clips total between 1900, 900 and
100000 pounds Of wool, all OF which
will hereafter be brought to New Ply
mouth, from where II will be loaded
and shipped over the Payette Valley
railroad. This will necessitate the con-
struction at New Plymouth of a build
ing of sufficient warehouse capacity to
store and handle this immense amount
of wool.

sold Oct %, 1912, and the contract for
