Payette, Idaho, Jan. "a 'l3.-
Mr.. Rush Lahman,
Editor Mo. Valley Times
Dear Friend: I owe Sc
many Of my old friends in Mo.
Valley letter l was Just won
dering if you would publish a
general letter to them all, be-
lieving that you have days that
your space would not be crowd
ed by inserting few words
from this far off mountain
country.
| am pleased to advise the
many friends of Mrs. Edge.
COMB lthat.she has nov prac i.
! cally recovered from her ill.
ness so much so at least that
we now apprehend no bad ef-
fects from herslong illness. As
for myself suffice it to say that
! am getting along pretty we'll
and am devouring quite a lib
eral amount of the many good
eatables of this bountiful coun
try, in fact / never visited a
country that has more to eat
than this country has. Every
Y bodys' cellars are fullof apples,
canned fruits, cabbag,, meat,
squashes, sauerkrout, god ci
der.
This is not much of a coua-
try insthe winter time as it is
most all of it in apple orchard
which does not require but lit
tie attention during th4 winter
months 50 everybody has a
good time attending church
and social gatherings, mixing
it a very desirable com au1-
ity to live it. 1t was our in
tention to start for California
before this time but the wealth
er has been so fine here that We
have not felt that the climate
could be much pleasanter in
California, than tits here. We
may possibly go later on.
We receive the Times regu
lar every Tuesday morning and
it keeps Us well posted as to
the happenings in and around
Mo. Valley. We enjoy very
much looking over its pages
noting the many occurrences,
some of them pleasing to note
and others making us sad as we
note the passing of some of our
friends to that world beyond.
Lulu, Ell and Orlo a.s we'll
and hearty and doing fine in
the way of developing a com.
mercial apple orchard. They
now have 10 acres of a year old
trees and 10 acres of 2 year old
trees; they had some apples on
the 4 year old trees and should
have a nice crop next year on
the then 5 year old trees. Ap.
pies are much cheaper here
this year than have been for
several years. Jonathans,
Winesaps, Roman 3 auties, Ar
kansas Blacks have all been
sold and brought a little over
$l.OO per box. O5har varieties
not so desirable, like the Ben
Davis sold very low not aver
aging more than 65c per box
These prices are prices deliver
ed packed in boxes at the pack
ing houses here. This informa-
tion ] haye from Nj. Smith,
Sec, of the Fruit Growers As
soc!ation here.
It's not my intention in this
letter to, say anything about
this country in the way Of
boosting for it, but should you
feel inclined to want to know
my unbiased opinion about this
country or should the Farmers
club like to have my opinion
whether a man should sell his
Iowa farm and come to this
country T would be pleased to

Under the New Manage
ment, the Iowa and N b-cska
Public Service Company are
adopting new tao les io regard
to the Public. They have begun
a series of articles in the Times
explaining their position, the
cause of poor service in the
past and what they are doing
to remedy it. This is a step in
the right direction as ths
public will feel much more in-
terest in the plant and be more
lenient with failures, if thu y
are taken into the confideI &c
of the Company.
The general public is but a
big happy family and If a cor
poration can wire the conf.
+dence Of the public sufficiently
to gain admittance to this
family circle, half Of their vic
tory is won. There is no busi-
ness or corporation large
enough to withstand the i'll will
of the general public and tn.
sooner the public is taken into
the confidence of big business,
the sooner will a harmonious
relationship be established be-
tween the two. We commend
the Iowa Nebraska Company
for the step they have taken.
