we called on Mrs. Veneble and found
ber much imroyed In health since
leaving Salmon. She wished to be
remembered to her Lemhi friends.
At Nampa we had the pleasure Of
meeting Editor Jenness and spent =
very pleasant half hour talking shop
together. The Herald Leader Is

usual Ia printing office, everyone
was busy but the editor.
There was one part Of this trip
which gave US pleasure and that was
visiting the newspaper offices and
getting acquainted with the editors.
We lave come to the conclusion
that conditions elsewere are very
much the same as at home and that
the publishers OF other papers have
about the same problems to face and
"ares and perpleNlties which we find
here In SALMON. The realization of
this fact has helped us TO return to
our work With better spirit and with
the determination to do the very best
we can In the line Of work which
has fallen to our lot.
Emmett was not as large place as
we had pictured, but there we're

there last year, but unfortunately
the market was not good and people
we're feeling the effects. At this

seen in almost eVerV farm yard and
there was some inducement to
raise them Knnwing there would be a
good market for them. We hope to
see such an industry In Salmon be-
fore very long.
The country surrounding Emmett,
Paystte and Weiser Is devoted largely
to fruit raising and were 1t possible
to find a good and sure market for
the products OF the orchard, would
be very rich indeed. 1t would be a
pleasure TO visit that part OF the
state in the spring and summer, but
at this time Of the year everything
is at its worst. AT Payette we had
a very pleasant Thanksgiving with
former Iowa friends whom we mad
not seen for twelve years. This
meeting with old friends was another
of the bright spots Of our TRIP. We
we're told that business conditions
we're quiet in most of these towns.
The city of Weiser made a much
more favorable impression upon us
than when we visited that place 10
June of 1918. Then the streets were
all torn up. for paving and very mud
